Yes, just okay. I was expecting a lot more than what I got and for a $1000 trip I could have just gotten one or two good escorts here in LA and been better off. Okay, not Elliott Spitzer type escorts… but danger just the same. Well, the reason I say it was okay was that I lived in NYC in hotter times and this was well… okay, nothing fabulous at all! It seems that when you’ve seen the same thing over and over again it doesn’t seem to ever get any better just the same – and never quite […]

I’m getting ready to head out to LAX to take a long plane ride to New York City for a party that I have wanted to go to since I was 21 (that is a quite a while ago mind you) and too young and poor to go to it. Now that I am old enough to know better but young enough to care (with the money to boot) I am ready to attend the The Saint-at-Large Rites XXIX: The Dangerous Black Party for Boys and I swear it had better be the MOST Dangerous party I have ever been […]

Hello everyone, While I am new to blogging, I am far from new to wandering around the world and wondering about the many amazing and amazingly stupid things I see every single day. Of course the main theme of this blog will be a sometimes cursory discussion of what I see, hear, taste, read, etc. Sometimes it will be quite in-depth and sometimes just in between. In fairness to those disbelievers, I will sometimes blog about the existential as it relates to “Man” in general. Note the capital “M” meaning I don’t mean the gender man. My first missive starts […]

I know I shoud not be, but I am always surprised by just how fowl people are. And I don’t always mean in how they smell 🙂 I went to the McDonald’s at Hollywood & Highland for lunch yesterday after not having a MickieD fix for quite a while. There were people everywhere as usual-the couple beggars with hands out. But what struck me most was still how mean people can be. This lady-kids in tow- right in front of the beggar said ”Why do they let them in?” and that something smelled bad. Maybe I’ve just gotten used to […]

Renew a right sprit within me. Psalm 51:10

I think that some technology hardware companies like HP or Apple would be able to boost their sales if they offered trade-in opportunita : weies for their products. while that they would have to dispose of the thing being traded-in just think of the new product sales they would achieve by giving a discount just for being a loyal customer. Just think at how many people are in the same boat as me-they currently own an iPod but want the iPod Touch. Giving a $100 discount would mean I would spend $200 on the new device. Better still they then […]

We are deep in the middle of the US tax season and I am crossing my fingers furiously to come up with a significant return. With the new house and with some of the expected rebates and tax deferrals on the mark for this tax year, I’m trying so hard to make the best of this 1040 that I am putting together.
