460 Ridge Street, The Aftermath

Quote of the week comes from the DC Housing Authority regarding 460 Ridge Street:

It was maintained the best we could.

The Morning After 460 Ridge St NW

460 Ridge St NW, originally uploaded by niello8.

Bricks lay strewn across the side walk, the innards of the burned out shell visible for all to see. Word on the street, this abandoned building is owned by the city. Buildings left to rot, while my neighbor's and landlord's property tax go up, all the while millions of tax dollars are stolen by those we trust in the DC governement.

Ridge Street House Collapses 11:10 PM 11/26/07

Just as we settled down to watch the 11:00 PM News a commotion of sirens and lights blazed past the house. Upon further inspection and a short walk I found that a house or the shell of some long ago abandoned house collapsed. 462 or 464 Ridge's east wall collapsed onto the sidewalk and adjoining property. Below are photos taken moments ago.










The last BLURRY photo is that of a search and rescue K9 and was my first glimpse of the disaster scene, the sight of the dog got my spidey senses working overtime. No word on whether or not anybody was pulled from the rubble. Keep looking back for updates.

A Hobo's Christmas Present

The Go! Team

not to be confused with The Go Team....


what's not to love about a lead singer who's name is Ninja?????


I went to this show last night not thinking I knew any songs by them, it turns out I knew one. The song from the honda civic commercial.


random thoughts and observations from last night:
UP with people!!
horrible mix
why are the lead instruments pre-recorded?
was that a mini bubble skirt?
why are there two guitars being played onstage, but I can't hear either?
where are the horns coming from?
I see a keyboard being played, but the rhythm the player is playing is different than the sound emanating from the PA.
if you are going to pretend to play the harmonica, it would be good if the audience could hear it.
pre-recorded guitar and bass feedback between songs is key to a great show.
Why was the last song played the only song which sounded like it was played live?

I was underwhelmed by their "overwhelming" performance.....
blah!

Monday Mornings are the bestest...

...when you get to clean your bosses shit off the toilet seat.

NO LIE.....this week is gonna be the bomb....

Fenty, Keep United In DC

"Thank you Kevin for this D.C. United jersey and congratulations on your terrific season, it is great to see over 20,000 fans here at RFK supporting D.C. United. It is my hope that your fans will soon be coming to your brand new soccer stadium at Poplar Point in Anacostia. World class fans, and a world class team like D.C. United, deserve a world class stadium. And I am going to make it a priority to help you build that stadium. Thank you -- congratulations and good luck to the Black-and-Red!"

Words have never been more eloquent, go see Imperial China w/ J Forte and the Secret Pop Band at the Red and the Black October 20th 2007.

Found this...

this was shot right AFTER he was accused of being a Judas, though not shown here Bobby replies/exclaims aside to his band mates "Play it fuckin loud" They then proceed to tear through (the good tear through) the most rip roaring version of the song ever.....

RIP ROARING!!!!!!

I think this was the first time since Buddy Hollies' death all were able to breath a sigh of relief. Music was not dead, rock and roll was not, as would be exclaimed by the cheep Dylan wanna be years later, Don Mclean.

Enjoy!!

Meanwhile BACK IN SHAW!! SHAW!!! IT'S A STATE OF MIND!!!!

Did you see the Washington City Paper's article on the Post's article on LeRoy?
What's the news?

Read it at the City Paper's website...I think what's more important here, is to point out that Leroy is a douche, not that the Post covered the wrong angle.

Douches Unite!!!!

I can has cheezburger?

Been stalking I Can Haz Cheezburger?, for quite some time.

I have also gone so far as to make my own ICHC? inspired pics, which I proudly display below.



Created this after I found out the St. Louis' prospect of an MLS team could possibly share United's name.


Created this by using Smith's early morning quote, from a time wasting website.


Created this pic when it was determined that the Red Bull supporter group ESC, where using Barra Brava & Screaming Eagles chants, cheers and songs.

Sweet Jesus, I'm famous!

Ninjamonkey3000 has been picked up for syndication!! Well sort of.....

New blog service, Shawington, has added Ninjamonkey3000 to its blogroll.

Since Shaw is the "Bloggiest" DC neighborhood, someone had the bright idea to "aggregate" 33 blogs into one super blog. über blog, if you will.

What does this mean for Ninjamonkey3000?
*Ninjamonkey3000 will need to figure out how to add Shawington to it's own blogroll.
*Ninjamonkey3000 will have more posts about Shaw. (technically the Ninjamonkey3000 Batcave HQ is half a block out of Shaw, but who is counting geography, SHAW is really a state of mind).
*Ninjamonkey3000 will need to start to type good!
*Ninjamonkey3000 will need to post more often than our current one post every 5 years. The public have spoken, THEY WANT THEIR NINJAMONKEY3000.
*Ninjamonkey3000 will need to start posting more pics of thyself so random anonymous Shawsters can slap me on my back and say "HEY even though your NM3000 BC HQ (Ninjamonkey3000 Batcave Headquarters) is technically half a block outside of Shaw, you are awesome and you represent Shaw's state of mind, but can you fix yer typing? It's not good."
*More anonymous comments that say, "you suck!", or "shut up, fatass!"


Note to Shawington.........
Please fix your blogroll, the blog is Ninjamonkey3000 NOT Ninjamonkey or Ninja Monkey.

Thanks for tuning in!!!!

HAted by all...

loved by few!!!

Keys were lost, but now they are found....
Derbies were missed.
as well as a romp.
Played some footie... got hot almost passed out
Played croquet!!! Pimm's, Ikea Bisquits and more Pimm's.
Watched a game, won 1 nil
Played lackluster game of Trivial Pursuit.
Drank a beer.
Gave a ride
WE DON'T USE THE WORD FAG! (that's the royal we).

Found these, enjoy:

A little late as always

As usual I am late to game!!

I recently picked up the Peter Bjorn and John album Writer's Block. THough I'm not "into" all the songs off the album, they are a smashing groop. Ideal tracks for listening: Objects Of My Affection, Up Against the Wall and off course the crowd favorite Young Folks.

In other news I am job searching, but massive soul searching is needed before this can happen. Ever been in a rut and you are unsure of how to exit said rut? Possibly I am taking the rut stuckness out on the wife, which is unwarranted and unfair on my behalf. I need a big change!!! My pain should not be her pain!
Though I can't blame all my work issues on my employer, I just can't stand the fact that I am ignored on almost a daily basis.

Fireworks are the SHIT!!

4th of July, wow.

Explosions everywhere until 4 in the morning...

America FUCK YEAH!!!!!!



First we sat on the beach and viewed the above.

Then we sat on the crow's nest of Le Spot and watched the neighborhood EXPLODE!!!

Awesome!!!
