It seems the more you dangle your foot in the technology waters… like this blog… the more you’re willing to get wet. But usually after a bit in the water you decide to get out and don’t get back in until you’re ready for a swim. Not to make this overly simplistic, but that’s exactly how I started feeling. I was looking at themes for the blog and realized that the blog main page is great, but the main page of my website is crappy. This started me to thinking about what I needed to do to make that look […]
A new ponderance to ponder
If you didn’t know, I’m not married and don’t have any children. So it has been pretty easy for me to travel, drink, enjoy myself without the attachment of spouse or children–basically without anything to hold me back from being the hellcat I’ve always seen myself as jokingly. So then why am I not a hellcat? a question for me to explore…
Disharmony with the universe
A couple days ago I bought a pair of mineral crystals to hang around my neck. If you believe the mysticism, they will help me get back into ‘harmony’ with the unverse around me and the space I happen to be occuping. I’ve always believed in mysticism And that things like this really do have their place in helping bring about a positive change internally and externally. I don’t know if it turns out to change ”you” because of the mind telling you that you ”should” change or if there really is a change happening because of some metaphysical or […]
Everybody is so tattooed
Just so you know: I have not been in a cave for the last 10 years so this isn’t something that I just realized, but I am becoming seriously aware that EVERYONE has at least 1 tattoo somewhere. I cannot pinpoint exactly when it happened but it seems to be everywhere-the young, the old, the fat, the skinny, black, white, latin, Asian and everyone in between. Now don’t get me wrong I like tattooes. I have two of my own, but it is really really scary to see that ”ink” becoming so “passee” now. “Blasse” even.
Week 4
And, behold, I am with thee, and will keep thee in all places whither thou goest,… I will not leave thee, until I hve done that which I have spoken to thee of. — Genesis 28:15
You’re only a celeb in LA…
I love living in Los Angeles! Where else can you see beautiful landmarks at the same time having great weather pretty much all the time? But the really fucked up thing with living in LA is that many not all just many people are so consumed with their own “star” or “celebrity” that they fail to see there are others around them — possibly others more famous than them. These people are the celeb-wanna-bees, who by fortune of nice car or hom or whatever else, think that makes them the du jour cat’s “meow”. I am a nice guy who […]
I’m thinking of buying a house
Today I took a major step toward realizing that homebuying dream. I started hiding money from myself so that I could come up with a substantial down payment within the year. I’ve promised myself to put $500 away each pay period for the rest of the year so that I can have at least 12K for the down payment by the end of the year – I may not do it really, but a couple grand is better than nothing. I did my studying for a CD scheme to squirrel away the money so that I don’t see it any […]
Wow, that was … okay!
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 […]
How “Dangerous” can it be?
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 […]
Opening day at the races…
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 […]
