Baby Names – by Liam Sweeny. I had it easy; most of us did. My mom and dad had ideas for what to name me when I was born – almost a Jon Eric. But my dad had the name ‘Liam’ kicking around in his head, mom dug it, and Liam Sweeny is who hammers […]
Million Dollar Meth Home – by Liam Sweeny. People can be picky when they’re looking for a new home. From the angle of the sum on hot summer days to crown molding, from swimming pools to a large en-suite master bath, the number of things a house can have that attracts a buyer is near […]
Felt Bagels – by Liam Sweeny. I’m a big guy. I say big because the world won’t let you say fat, not even in a reference to yourself, but that too. One of the things I like about eating is going to the shop, actually buying the thing. I’m not big on dollar-store junk food. […]
Words By: Rob Smittix Photos By: Tammie Birdwell Let’s hear it for the hard working crew at Empire Live for this incredible sold out show on a vibrant Wednesday night in Downtown Albany. First off, I (Rob Smittix) can’t state enough how happy I am that Empire Live/Underground even exists now in the Capital City. […]
Nudity Creep – by Liam Sweeny. Nudity. Full frontal nudity. Male full-frontal nudity. Closeups of male full-frontal nudity. To some, the progression of what I just said further distaste with each sentence. For some, the progression got more exciting. But nudity, in all its forms, is a time honored touchpoint (all entendres and puns intended.) […]
On Friday October 20th my wife (Laurie) and I (Rob Smittix) decided to go out for a date night but we also decided to go out and support live music. This is a vibrant area with lots going on but The Cohoes Music Hall was the place that we were compelled to go to. First […]
2 Million Dimes – by Liam Sweeny. We in America use the English System for measurements. As opposed to damn near the rest of the world, who has gone metric. It doesn’t make much sense using the metric systems with its ten millimeters to a centimeter and its ten centimeters to a decimeter and its […]
Ferrisburgh – The Vermont Bird Artist. By Liam Sweeny. When it comes to the question, “what is art?” I’m a universalist. Everything that can possibly be determined as art, that’s how I call it. Money is small lithographs. A brick is shaped. An old house’s plumbing – well, that really is a work of art, […]
48 Oysters – Who Pays? by Liam Sweeny. Dating is complicated. Not the two people getting to know each other part; that’s been complicated too, but we’ve had millennia to practice it. I’m talking about who pays. In the past, the men paid, always. But in the past, women weren’t as much a part of […]
Fred the Pig – Criminal? Or Just Misunderstood? by Liam Sweeny. Disorderly Conduct. Vandalism. Jaywalking. These “quality of life” crimes make our neighborhoods not so chill, and we have to call on the dedicated members of law enforcement to ensure that justice is meted out to these scofflaws. Fred is 400 to 600 pounds, no […]
