THINGS DIE IN THE WINTER


Many animals can't handle the winter, some just go ahead and die while others sleep a whole lot.
Everybody knows the story about the grasshopper who just partied around and didn't save any food or build shelter and then winter came and he died.
Pretty sure that this guy is the grasshopper.

(photo cred. Amy Klein in Bushwick-BK)

This next video was shot in Staten Island by Jenna. The incredibly brilliant performance artist/grasshopper seems to be hitting on her wife, Loretta and creating a new religion at the same time. Pretty impressive. 




And here he is getting his Richard Simmons on. I kept my distance. I tend to punch bugged out idiots that scream at me.

 (Bushwick- BK)

Don't be sad about the future death of this grasshopper. It's New York...... there's always another one.
