The 365: Day 515



Sunday, May 30, 2010 (150/515)

Setting up the bracket for the annual Palisades Open Memorial Day Beer Pong Tournament.





Balls are flyin like on the set of a Vivid Video Production.





My teammate from Team Wolf – Pack.





We lost. But it still looks like I won.





Announcing the championship round.





The bracket.





What is this, Beauty Bar? Where the hell are my nipples?





Burn sucka.





I wanted to starts to leaps across it, but Jessie wouldn’t let me.





It’s going to be a good summer.

The 365: Day 514



Saturday, May 29, 2010 (149/514)

I have a nightly view of the sunset over Lake Michigan from the bedroom in my Michigan cottage. As I sit in my bed, this is what I see. The camera is not doing justice to the actual colors and contrast of the true beauty, but here you go. Sit on it.





Some broad.





Brogle.





Small fire – physically and socially.





Subtle ad for Busch Light.





I have a problem with being pumped out onto the beach just feet from where we have our fire. This doesn’t look sanitary. Where is the board? Why are they allowing this?





Cease The Day snaps a pic of Smelliot The Skunk with his camera, as Dogle and Brogle chill in the background.





The last man standing. The fire is out. The rowdies have crashed. And one man stands alone reflecting on the nights that this beach has seen.

The 365: Day 511



Wednesday, May 26, 2010 (146/511)

Here I am on Clubhouse Beach. I drove up to Michigan after Violet Winter rehearsal. If I had a better camera, and if this was a longer exposure, you could see the clear sky full of stars that I was seeing.

The 365: Day 508







Sunday, May 23, 2010 (143/508)

Lake Forest College. Being an extra for a feature film, “A Hole In The Wall,” I believe it’s called. I was talking with one of the lead actors while we were watching YouTube on my computer. It turns out he graduated my same year from high school, but from my rival school. Good times. We started reminiscing about varsity sporting events, like the time Loyola Academy made it into the Tribune for chanting terrible things to some of the New Trier players.





Look at this campus!





Classroom scene.

Friday, May 21, 2010 (141/506)

Acting in a DePaul student film project with these two fellows. I played Jackson, and I woke up in a bathtub after a night of partying. Something that I’ve done before.

The 365: Day 504



Wednesday, May 19, 2010 (139/504)

I received an SOS call before Violet Winter rehearsal. So afterward I found myself in Naperville trying to make my friend feel better. I may have managed to get about an hour of sleep.

The 365: Day 503



Tuesday, May 18, 2010 (138/503)

I’m just like you. I put my pajama pants on one leg at a time. I crash cars. I make toast in the bathtub.

The 365: Day 501



Sunday, May 16, 2010 (136/501)

I scuffed up this woman’s bumper (by rear-ending her on an I-94 off ramp) and this costs over $2,000 to repair.





Hood, grill, left headlight. The worst part about this was that this isn’t my car – I borrowed it. My cousin Timmy C (one the car’s regular drivers) got in, turned on the sound system and his iPod and said, “I don’t see what the problem is, it plays Taylor Swift just fine.”





Porchin it.





Trying to calm my nerves and process what happened.

The 365: Day 500



Saturday, May 15, 2010 (135/500)

Atop the Sugar Bowl overlooking my kingdom.





Speeding ticket. 75 in a 70.





The light is on in broad daylight! Where is the board? Why are they allowing this? Are we expected to pay the enormous Soda Bar electric bill in our dues?!





The meadow is flooded! Where is the board? Why are they allowing this? What is to be done when the there is a breakout of West Nile Virus this summer?!









“Did you see my shirt?”
“Yes, we all know you have a website, Tommy P.”
