Remember that time when we got so lost in the causeway and felt drunk off the smell of rosehips in June? How we got all turned around and couldn’t recall our landmarks. or how we thought: “Being stuck out here in all this blue and perfume wouldn’t be such a bad ending.” Funny; neither do I. ◽️ #provincetown #beach #poetry #nature #newEngland #breakwater #woodend #ptown #capecod #rosehips #seagrass #lighthouse #dunes #nationalseashore #akaXN #theRealXN (at Wood End, Massachusetts) https://www.instagram.com/p/CP_Bzh2NL5X/?utm_medium=tumblr

of self-propriety,” but then gain a ton of obnoxious and unwelcome DMs. As long as the algorithms keep going, it’s a marginally reasonable trade off. However it is interesting to see how many folks unfollow because – GASP! This kind of content is TOO EXPRESSIVE! Alas; when we want to play out our instagram profile like a morality play, we have truly lost the gist of things. Well, good riddance to that handful of faux-supporters. I hope your private little moment of judgmental rejection grants you something worthwhile. Better to bump out now, as there are more from this shoot and they may pop up again on my feed between all the absurdly-narrated pics of waterfowl and neo-gothic cityscape musings. As far as the rest of us still here? Well, let’s continue to be chill with all the varied and distressing aspects of life and human behavior in all it’s prepackaged and heightened representations. There’s room on my Instagram beach-sheet for all the chill, easygoing folk. 
But seriously: NO MORE DUMB THIRSTY DMs, rando-followers! ◽️ #provincetown #beach #dramatci #breakwater #woodsend #ptown #bluesky #bodybuilder #natty #naturalbodybuilder #naturalbodybuilding #bodybuilding #aesthetic #Vtaper #biceps #classicbodybuilding #glutes #classicphysique #physique #legday #obviousthirsttrap #fitness #instagay #thot #aesthetic #vtaper #algorithmboost #akaXN #TheRealXN (at Wood End, Massachusetts) https://www.instagram.com/p/CP3gUyHt__-/?utm_medium=tumblr

Brunch with the fabulous boys. The great egret is, well great. You don’t have to worry about their personality because everyone says they’re great. Really. They’re great. It’s right in their name, after all: “Great egret.” I mean, technically his real name of the great egret is actually “Pelecaniformes Ardeidae,” but he wants everyone to call him by the name he got in his frat at Cornell. Oh, pardon me – did he not yet drop that he went to an Ivy League? No? Well, he prolly figured you knew because, well, he’s so great. Like so many cool boys of Boston, these egrets love a good brunch. It’s part of what makes them so, well, great. That’s why they love Boston and, well, live pretty much anywhere in North America where there’s wetlands. Heck, they even mingle with crocodiles down south without a care in the world. Great? Right? Everyone says it: he’s just SOOO great. The great egret is the official symbol of the National Audubon Society. Yeah, he’s famous. Check his insta and twitter. (He prolly won’t follow you back, sorry.) I mean, GREAT right? Great egret chicks are highly competitive. In fact, a lot of times they will literally peck the weak er ones to death. But, I mean, EVERYONE says he’s great. So just ignore that familial murder stuff. He’s GREAT Trust me. Everyone says. His wings are so powerful and have so much surface area that only a couple beats a second keep them aloft. Granted, they’re sow flyers, but let’s not linger in silly details. Why point out flaws? EVERYONE knows they’re great. Let’s not be petty. While always mostly white, in mating season he will wear longer tail feathers and get a perch of neon green on his face. Not too much color – JUST enough to be classy. Because classy means, you know . . . you’re SO great. This one didn’t notice me. I tried to wave, but he was busy brunching in Southie/ Prolly being great, like cool boys often are. Too great to say hi, but it’s okay. 
He’s great. Everyone says. ▫️ #satire #birds #animalfacts #animallover #egret #wetlands #conservation #ecology #boston #bostonnature #southie #bostonharbor #Castleisland #dawn #daybreak #akaXN #TheRealXN (at Boston Harbor) https://www.instagram.com/p/CPN6yb4tCb8/?utm_medium=tumblr

Secret money cults of the old oligarchy. Or something. This is one of my “secret doors.” I’m not going to tell you where it is, but it’s technically not very secret; it’son a pretty well- travelled street. I don’t know what compels this level of architecture for a door front. I mean, obviously I do know, but only understand it as an abstraction of historical ideas. I know the motivation of the sculpture only as a context of “social analysis.” How the ruling class of this city has always been defined by wealth, to the point of obtuse blindness to the conditions of any other place. How this self-aggrandizing sense of success compelled the Bostonians of the late 1800s to posture and preen like Victorians. Their grandiosity became monuments of their cruelty; how they would gladly exploit their world to revere in their finery. So, yes, I know “how it got here,” and what motivated it. But still, in a way I don’t. I have stared at it a few times after visiting a dear buddy of mine in his attic level efficiency studio. His flat feels very French, but then again so does he. (These are hints, by the way, on the location.) But every time I puzzle the symbolism. Angels and a peace dove. In a way, starkly generic; as if some wealthy poshmonger was just all “Oh, DARLING,” (referring tot he sculptor) “SURELY you know the style? Somethign austere, and maybe classical, but nothing radical. No exposed breasts – this is #BOSTON, after all!” And then the sculptor just did something, well, generic. And here we are. I have no idea, you see. None of us probably will. What inspired THIS specific concoction. Was it symbolic, or just simplistic? So I want to pretend it is some secret code; some long forgotten symbols that mark the entrance to some dark, wealthy cult. They did not worship gods; they worshipped power. And this was their side door. (Whoops – another clue!) Well, I’ll let the mystery stand. And I’ll still visit from time to time and puzzle. That is, after all, probably part of the reason they went this grand in the first place. ▫️ #akaXN #TheRealXN (at Boston, Massachusetts) https://www.instagram.com/p/CO9DTJdNqAU/?igshid=1whj2owwrw104

I’ve always had an appreciation for a little bit of cheese. Not a lot. Just a taste here and there. Of course, when you go for cheese it’s easy to over-indulge. That’s okay. Just moderate after the fact. No one should be indulging cheese all the time. It’s toxic. A good buddy is always telling me about how cheese is addictive. Which I tend to believe, because a lot of people are all about cheese all the time. They tend to ruin it for the rest of us. Being all about the cheesiness all the time only makes you more self-indulgent. Learn your cheese limits. Of course, many people look down on the cheesy. They feel it is low-brow to enjoy cheese so brazenly. To these people I say: BOLLOCKS. You’re personal discomfort with cheese does not entitle you to command the harmless indulgences of others. Cheese is real. It’s not your problem. Sit down. Yeah, I like a little cheese here and there. Folks will come at me, trying to make themselves feel better int heir petty little jabs and jealous little judgements. But it doesn’t stop the cheese. In fact, it only makes me take another bite of the deliciousness. Yeah. I felt cheesy today. And it was delectable. ▫️ #selfsatrire #cheesecake #trashy #butchqueen #tacky #bodybuilder #bodybuilding #skid #obviousthirsttrap #upmyalgorithms #otomix #dirtyoldboston #wheels #scruffy #malemodel #quads #physique #aesthetic #beard #bearded #fitness #instagay #hairy #naturalbodybuilding #natty #algorithmboost #muscle #40something #akaXN #TheRealXN (at Boston, Massachusetts) https://www.instagram.com/p/COsgHcuNaiF/?igshid=1tgwu8ekrhphs

The word for the day is: PATINA. The #SouthEnd plays host to #Boston’s largest collection of vintage printed sign art. While most of it is often so work away as to be easily overlooked, most of them are protected. Being paint they will wear away slowly and be gone one day. But, for now, they lean against alleyways and watch quietly from wall perches, the forgotten old souls of the neighborhood., These are only a few. I will try to bring more in a later post. When I look at the, I am reminded how much we lose with the societal push to please those with the fattest wallets. The South End has become a wealth enclave over the past couple decades, but these signs remind us of the astounding working class and immigrant neighbors that made this neighborhood so remarkable. It was these communities, and not the eager-to-refurbish-and-modernize new rich that made this place dynamic. Looking at old city survey maps you will learn the South End was once more Italian than the North End. The Irish mobsters scattered that problem, transforming the lower South End into a sneaky industrial district, displacing these immigrants. The painted signs of labor industries hints at the clever way one beleaguered class of immigrants bullied another. By the way, the Russian Jews also held roost, and they went west while the Italians went north. Little Syria – where once the Boston Creamery was epicenter – is as forgotten as the lost Little Greece. Yes, digest that a moment. The super-white South End was once a vibrant Syrian neighborhood, and the posh “loft style condos” were populated with Greeks. These people worked the jobs that needed the signs. Now, their memory is literally obliterated from recall. They have faded, faster than the paint. Soon all will be gone. Some say it’s “just the natural cycle of urbanity.” But this doesn’t mean we shrug off the losses. Which is why I often pause and read the old signs; faded thumbprints of a history erased. ▫️ #bostonhistory #vintage #retro #mural #typeface #brick #forgottenboston #dirtyoldboston #akaXN #TheRealXN (at South End) https://www.instagram.com/p/COogv93NVdJ/?igshid=m8et6rkwlpux
