Ok folks, in the oft-aborted spirit of innovation on my own part and preventing this blog from permanently becoming a treatise on bodily functions, I will be posting my pretentious photos, probably 1 a week or every other week until I grow weary of it because no one will respond at all. I welcome anyone else to do the same - you can either email them to me, which is a pain in the ass, or you can use your marginal html skill to post a link to them where they are hosted, provided you know how to do that. If you don't, I have no free time to instruct you, so just settle on looking at mine and either a) fawn over them, declaring me like, the next Ansel Adams or something. Use them as a catalyst to make fun of something other than my aspirations (b)Heckle my pretensious assumptions that you would actually give any care or credit to a point-and-click fraud that just happened to have good ambient lighting at the time... (c)Do not acknowledge them at all, confirming my creeping suspicions about the vast, grinding cosmos of uncaring randomness outside the front door...

This photo is of a Cotton-topped Tamarin, a monkey from the rain forests of Colombia. He is a resident of the Prospect Park Zoo in Brooklyn. This was a cool little beast that seemed to take interest in me as I focused in on him to take some pictures. Oddly enough, he reminded me of Jimmy3000 in his mannerisms and in the way he compulsively scratched his sac in public, unaware of onlookers. I have always had a place in my heart for monkeys and apes, fascinated in their facial expressions, mannerisms and (practically) human ways of interactions amongst each other. The horrendous and tragic chimpanzee attack that occured last week should permanently confirm the fact that these animals should not be kept as pets. I will climb down from my soapbox now and conclude today's entry.
