why is my city the best, you ask?

Hmmmn... I don't know. Maybe its the mere fact that its probably the only place on earth where I can indulge my tastebuds at the absolutely tantalizing "Striphouse", be a kid again for a few minutes at "Toy Tokyo", eat a "sex cookie" (don't ask) at a magical place simply called "Something Sweet", smoke an amazing mint Hookah, while taking in a live show at "Sahara East", and then, finally, make my way to "Odin" for some really serious wares, just before hailing one of the many affordable yellow "limousines" at my beckoning call, who, as it turns out, are truthfully not altogether thrilled to return me to my castle in Brooklyn. haha.

To Williamsburg, at once!!!

All these pleasures within a block or two of each other, in just one tiny pocket, in one small section, of the greatest city in the world, imo, of course.

If you're fortunate enough to know what I'm talking about firsthand, then I'll let you tell it...

stackin' piiiieeedgeonnns!!!!

do you know who Elon Musk is?

In my relatively short time on this earth, I've given much thought to, and been in awe of the absolute impact that just one person can have, not only his or her "own" world, but on the entire world for pretty much, eternity. Men like Howard Hughes immediately stand out. I mean, who hasn't read about Thomas Jefferson and his exploits? Deep, but It gets even deeper. I often think about my place amongst the greatest of men and women. These thoughts don't rest easy. Leon Batista Alberti, Hildegard of Bingen, Galileo, Abu Rayhan Biruni = all recognized Polymaths. In this tiny handful alone, lay a collection of some of the greatest achievements in History. EVER.

To even attempt to find some type of place in such a "pantheon" is to be deemed delusional, and preposterous. Therefore, I am JUST THAT, by definition of the world I happen to occupy.

The illest part? So were they...

So, to those of you who know me, and think that I'm crazy, please. Just let me dream my dreams, and reach for them until I separate my shoulders, and when I do, just help me put them back into place, as quickly as you can, because you know that I have absolutely NO CHOICE but to do it all over again, and again, until I die...

While I do that, you do this:

Find out who Elon Musk is. At 37, he is a living breathing Renaissance Man, and further confirmation to me, that one person truly can do anything he/she wants to, if they want to.

i hate it when this happens...

so the kid "Drake" dropped his "mix/album" to much bloggery, and while I purposely avoided it for a few days, largely because I kinda hate some of the things that most bloggers love, I got it, listened, and now I gotta give credit where its due.  In this particular case, the bloggers were correct...this time...  

 "So Far So Gone" gets the Renny Cosign...  f u bloggin' bastards!!!

welcome, one and all, to my mind.  the optimist in me hopes you'll like it here, while the anarchist could care less.  be it what you make of it, but at the very least, consider yourself invited to the director's cut of "my adventures in real life"...
