Acetaminophen, diphenhydramine hci and phenylephrine hcl

in life there are the haves and the have nots, those who have allergies.. and those who do not.. i envy the later group, because they don't have to deal with the constant runny and stuffy nose, sinus junk, itchy eyes, that let me tell you, make me a very attractive human bieng, every fall and spring. not to mention for the past 4 years i have lived in houses, aged around 100 years old.. and filled with black mold.. and well, a century of dust.... then there is a known fact that because temperatures are slightly higher in the inner city, and detroit is about 1/3 green space, the deadly pollen season begins earlier and lasts longer. HOORAY!

but really i love this place, and for some reason i named today the first day i would start blogging about living here. everyday.. for as long as i can keep up.. and even though i just ingested Benadryl Allergy & Cold, and am waiting for the sleepy effects to calm my restless legs.. anyways you get the point, i live here. here are some of the interesting things that happen.. every day.

Detroit City of tomorrow

As i shot this photograph on a tuesday night about 1:00 in the morning, a homeless person* across the street started laughing hysterically... it freaked me out a bit and i made a quick escape.. only to run into like 3 other screaming homeless folk*, Desolate at this time of night, earlier in the day, downtown had been corner to corner full of people, there was a tigers game, and Sigor Ros played at the Filmore.
I rode my bike back and forth across the city cutting through traffic, stopping at the bike shop, and the gigantic brownsfield just before belle isle (the largest in the country, the belle tire site), and back up into corktown, woodbridge, then finally downtown, to watch the icelandic group preform.. There was alot of wandering before i stumbled upon this lonely scene... but i felt it's what we all want to envision, Detroit, "City of the Future"

*homeless folk to be politically correct.

"you are about to witness the very exciting story about a city and it's people.
it will be an adventure that will open new sights in familiar sourroundings.
it is a story of a city seeking new horizons in a resolute contest with great challenges.
that city is detroit, home of nearly [one million] people back in 1701 long before this land become a nation, caddiliac planted the colors of france on detroits shore, and thus began a rich and inspiring history which has brought detroit to its finnest hour, the today of which we are apart. yes detroit is enjoying it's finest hour, there is a rennisance, a rebirth in this city, there is a newness in detroit. i am honored to be serving as [photographer] at this most eventful and productive period in detroits history and i am honored to be a participant in the detroit story." **

**i took this quote from a film, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vUbsw28PCpA
more information about the film;

"This public domain film narrated by then-mayor Jerome P. Cavanaugh was made in 1965 to promote Detroit. The city faced many urban problems and its population was in decline. These difficulties were amplified by the 1967 riots, which are seen by many as one of the most significant events which led the city into a forty year decline. Since the mid 50s, the population has dropped by half and the infrastructure has been destroyed or has decayed due to abuse and neglect"

city of tomorrow.
