Hello...
…to all of the recent followers of my blog! Thanks for stopping by. In case you haven’t looked at my front page, here’s some relevant info:
I’m Tim McFarlane, a visual artist living and working in Philadelphia, PA. I mainly paint and make mixed media works, but also do some photography periodically.
My tumblr is filled mainly with images and odds and ends that I find interesting: art, photography, design of all kinds, style/fashion, music, and random things that make me laugh.

Only in Philly: Man received pistol-whipping for taking too long to order at KFC...from an employee! →

People in this city of ours seem to have a bit of a problem controlling their anger. I don’t buy into the whole, “I’m supposed to be angry, I’m from Philly,” idea because to me that’s just like using the whole “It’s okay, I was drunk” excuse for acting like an asshole. The only explanation one can fathom as to why some people are so hostile and aggressive is that they’re pissed off about not being able to leave Philly. One such example of hostile and aggressive behaviors comes in the form of Edward Harris’ lawsuit against Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC).
Harris was eating at a KFC in Olney and ordered a bucket of fried chicken with two sides. After having trouble making up his mind on the sides, employee Michael Henry told him to hurry up. After Henry and Harris exchanged words, according to Harris, Henry then asked him, “Do you want the fucking chicken or not,” and proceeded to pistol-whip him numerous times, leaving Harris unconscious and requiring a hospital visit. This was in 2007.
Harris later sued KFC, hoping to cash-in on his pistol-whipping, only to be told that KFC is not responsible for the fact that Henry has a bit of an anger problem. For the attack on Harris, Henry was sentenced to 2-4 years in prison, and is now doing an additional 5-10 years for an unrelated armed robbery.
What a city.
“Books say: She did this because. Life says: She did this. Books are where things are explained to you; life is where things aren’t. I’m not surprised some people prefer books. Books make sense of life. The only problem is that the lives they make sense of are other people’s lives, never your own.”
