THE BIG APPLE/AND Failure of our sex ed!!!

Quick Post since my connection sucks. I'm in the Big Apple until Thursday and have lined up to see friends and I apologize to those that I'm unable to meet. As you know there is only one me and many you. I will be able to catch up with you later in about two weeks.

Today was great got off the plane, checked in and went to upper West Side and went for a run with my straight buddy from my hometown. I love Centeral Park and all the hotties running you know who you are because your eyes and mine meet. Come on I was not trying to be discrete either. Then SB and myself went to this nice Italian restaurant near his house, but before that I tried to get into Lady M cakes for a try except they seemed to lock their doors. Anytime you see a store that looks very sterile with just cakes on display you know it was be good eats or just for show. My friend assured me it was good eats.

Also the conversation got me back on to sending my resume out to head hunters. I think it is time for a change to either San Fran, Dallas, or NYC. I've always planned on moving probably to San Fran and I was aprised of opportunity, but did not because I usually like staying a whole year at a place in which I'm only 6 months into.

PS: PLEASE CLICK THE LINK BELOW - it is very sad that our sex education system is unable to reach everyone and we have these venereal disease problems with all the advances in technology. I guess it is running in epidemic proportions in this one community when will these people learn self control, probably never and it may be too late.

Happy Memorial Day to All Those Who Provide Our Freedom

I want to thank all those men and woman that have served and died for this country so that America's prosterity may continue live their dreams in a free and open society. Their sacrifice for their families and country is one of the most noblest greatest deeds one can do.

My grandfather a WWII veteran that was wounded in the Pacific and received military awards was recently honored by the NFL Players Association for contributions to football. In his speech, he stated what he had done was nothing compared to what his son, my uncle, did in Vietnam being wounded three time and receiving the military awards for his actions in the mountains of Vietnam. I hope I had a hand in that because my grandfather would always compare the WWII generation to the Vietnam and saying why do the Vietnam veterans believe they are entitled to something.

I told my grandfather it was because the WWII generation were treated as heroes and supported by the entire country. The Vietnam Veterans came home to a divided country in which some called them baby killers and murders throwing eggs and other condiments at our returning soldiers. I then said how would you feel if you served your country honorably and did your duty as required, but came home to that reception. Upon, hearing what my grandfather did on his day, I think I had an impact on him and it is about time we as a country give the Vietnam Veterans their due. They served their country honorably and did not lose the war, it was the politicians that lost the war not our brave men and women trying to protect a democratic government in South Vietnam even though their own people did not have the will to fight for their own freedom. (Yes, I do know the history of South Vietnam and I'm aware that the only Catholic President in our history acquiesced to the assination of the democratically elected Catholic President of Vietnam.)

Carolina Blue

Well, I’m in the great state of North Carolina in Durham just outside of Chapel Hill. After traveling 275 miles in 3 ½ hours for a wedding rehearsal I had to piss like a race horse. You see a big Dunkin Donuts Ice Coffee will do that to you when you don’t want to stop until you get to your place of destination. I said hello to the groom and immediately went to the bathroom.

I came out and said hi to some of my law school buddies that I have not seen in a while. We went out for Subway because the groom was suffering from a hang over and needed some chow and I was a Starvin Marvin. We all ate and it was then time for the rehearsal. Well, I thought it was, but some of the brides maids "got lost" in the shopping mall and had to take showers. The brides maids took showers all right only allowing my law school friend 10 minutes to take a shower and get ready. He gets in the car with out a shirt and we speed to the Carolina Inn.

We get to the Carolina Inn and there is no parking. The attendant tells me to park in the Catholic Center which I do after figuring out that I should have taken an immediate right into the center instead of circumnavigating around the UNC Campus one more time. I arrive and I’m a ball of sweat and the Pastor just keeps on talking and talking. For fuck sake, I’m sweating my nuts off here lets get this thing rolling.

The Pastor finally finishes and I proceed to hit on the desk attendants. They keep giving me cookies and asking me questions about what I do and blah, blah and blah. This one guy looked very similar to a guy I meet at a birthday party in DC, but no way was it him because the DC guy is in the money. However the desk attendant was very cute. After talking to him, my friends and I head to the hotel bar for a drink. Before we reach the bar, I was looking outside and notice this hottie in swim trunks. I first wondered why was he wearing swim trunks when the inn does not have a pool and then I noticed the bulge underneath. Although, he may be blessed in that region his Providence shirt and Yankees hat said major loser, but still hot and gifted.

I finally headed back to my hotel for some swim time and get ready for the dinner in Durham. One of my friends erroneously told me that the dinner was at 6:30 and would take 45 minutes to get there; he was wrong on both accounts. I was the first to arrive and the staff gladly provided me a nice Silician Red blend. I walked around the Italian Restaurant surveying the once Tobacco Warehouse converted into a restaurant and apartments. I love the exposed brick and ceiling that is accentuated with nice Italian decorations with trees and plants containing lights. The food was decent and the conversation flowing, including the hot waiter. Lets just say he was a tall handsome gentlemen with beautiful blue eyes and dark curly black hair. He later ended up in Chapel Hill, but enough of that.
While we were in Durham, I said we really should go to the Duke Lacrosse house. The lawyers in the crowd said based on the evidence stated it would be very difficult to get a conviction. We also stated from our experience most LAX players are aholes. So, before we head to Chapel Hill I tried to convince the guys and brides maids to take photos in front of the house but to no avail.

Now it is just waiting time before the wedding and I’m planning on hitting Top of The Hill before the 6 PM ceremony. I just hope the sun is below the buildings, so, I’m not sweating all over the place.

Monday I will be taking off early in the morning so I can get in a run up in DC before attending one of those carnivore delight BBQ's by the southern dispora in DC. The food should be great and plentiful. I just hope the weather cooperate.

The Games We Play!

The games we play with our emotions Some are willing, others unwilling, and yet others are innocent bystanders. One of the greatest emotions is love. It is the one that many men are unwilling to demonstrate or admit because in their eyes they might be perceived as weak or vulnerable. They hide their true intentions and lie to make one they love or one who is in love jealous. This is not what love is.
Love in and of itself is pure and unconditional. Love is when you found someone that completes you and compliments you, not necessarily being the same as you. You know found love when you accept that person for all his beauty as well as his imperfections. When you realize that this person makes you happy when you are near him and sad when you are apart. Love must have a equal partner that shares in the honest development of hopefully a life long relationship.

However, sometimes love is perceived as lust. Lusting after someone that gives you instant gratification because it is something new or forbidden. Yet, this lust wears off only leaving you empty and lonely inside. What you once thought was love was not truly love because love is compliment by trust, truth, and respect for each and not lies after lies and infidelity.
Sometimes, I think men assume they have love to the point of living in blind ignorance afraid to hear the truth. Once they hear the truth they lash out at that person who stood by them and warned them, but as in all humans it is better they learned on their own. They do everything to make that person jealous, but in reality they are the ones that are more hurt. Why because they lack love and the relationship that comes with it. They lack that person that cherishes every moment they are together and they especially lack a person the will remain faithful, truthful, and respectful.

I have come to realize that I must withdraw from this game. I don’t care for it when the game is the manipulation of hearts. It is not right and can lead to server emotional problems. I have seen it and I don’t like. I was a willing participant, but no longer. If the consequences is to live the rest of my life alone so be it, but at least I know I’m true to myself and will never compromise my values. Maybe one day I will find that person who complete me and makes my life a joy to wake up next to each and every morning.

* I would also suggest reading Atari's post at the The Lost Find about gay culture and television, I think it is pretty good.

Would you blindly invest?

Russia's Rosneft, the state run oil company will be making an IPO this year by trying to raise money from Western sources. First, I believe in consolidating power in order to create stronger laws that will protect property, promote a market economy, establish standards for corporate governance, and a justly instituted legal systems with uniform procedures and standards. If these laws are fairly enforced then I would say invest. Second, this is all in preparation to allow an company to be driven by market forces and be indepedently run free from the government intrusion into the boardroom.

Stratocade, is absolutely correct to say allow capitalism and the market economy to drive corporations. It allows for greater freedom and decision making by allowing a CEO to determine what direction to take a company depending on the circumstances. Plus it allows for greater efficiency to have it lead independent of the government. When a company is run by the government it leads to great waste and corruption. This will also occur is Rosneft is not allowed to go truly public which will lead to inefficiency being run by a behemoth government in Moscow. The other problem is how much transparency will there be to allow people to truly evaluate the company. Under the Russian government, I would think very little but Western capital markets have not learn losing billions when Lukos was seized on trumped up tax charges and found guilty with given a chance to pay the fines. Western markets will always go after the greatest potential with the greatest risk and that great risk is the state control of Rosneft.

* Disclaimer most of my knowledge was obtain through many sources including the Wall St Journal article that reminded me of the up coming IPO.

Young vs. Old

So, after a stressful day at work interrupted by a friend telling me his moving plans and his new pleasure utensil, I get a call from another friend you want to run. So, I meet him out his house the first thing he said is I have a new route. The route took us into Rock Creek into Adams Morgan and then across Connecticut Ave. I said to him slow down because I have my sneakers on that causes my outside tendon to hurt.

He also pissed me off because the routes was mostly up hill. Oh and he is a young 24 guys and I'm a thirty year old pushing thirty-one soon. Well, he was 200 hundred feet of head of me and then 100 and then finally on about 5 feet ahead when the sprint to the house occurred. It was at this point that he began to lose and lose badly. I turned to him and said I always save enough strength for the race at the end because it matters only at the end. I was also teasing by saying look at this lineback speed. Point is the tortoise will always beat the hare.

Political point that I noticed on my run. There was a lawn sign that said slavery reparations. I wished the people who put that sign up where outside. It would have been worth to stop my run and hear their explanation for why America and America only needs to pay. Don't site Jewish People being paid by Germany because at least they have a proximate claim that Germany caused them injury and can prove their case. Not to mention that those who would claim injury are two generations removed from equal but separate (not really equal) laws. I would go more into this, but I'm tired and full from Chinese food.

Where is the Fireman?

I'm the fireman putting out fires left and right. It is always interesting when former colleagues are trying to best you in wits and use the knowledge you imparted on them against you. However, you can never fool the master who is always more mischievous than the student.

Enough about that. So, after a long Friday night in which I found out my friend will be interning for the same Federal Judge as my other friend did last year, I began to go from bar to bar. No matter which bar I went I knew someone there. Hey (is usually what I say when I forget their names), then after talking for a bit it clicks. Well, so how is the Senator you know if he has a opening on the committee tell me I would love to be on and don't forget I did go to school in Texas. As I walked out of the bar I ponder do I go down the street to the gay country bar. No, I better go home I want to do a nice 10 mile run, plus I have to go to work.

So, Saturday was a good day beside going to work. I left work about 4:30 walked to Georgetown to just browse. I pick up some clothes and meander into Barnes and Noble. I decided to buy Herodotus to go along with my Thucydides. I see a friend who says we need to get dinner this week and he will have a surprise that I will like. Now, my mind races with all naughty thoughts, but then come down back to earth. I'm sure the dinner will be strictly Platonic.

Saturday night was a riot. I attended an Apartment building party. I already described some of it. I did not tell you this story about a horrendous amazement Woman that was at least four inches taller than me and had a weird shape head and lips. No, I did not have Napoleonanic Syndrome. Well, she over heard the law school that I went and now it was not in the first tier, but I got a decent education and I love the friends that I made there.

Anyways, she is all about how great she is and can not decided between a top tier Boston law school and top tier Midwest law school. Well, I asked her why she would not go to the Boston law school. I don't know why I asked when I knew the answer, but I wanted to know if this person was shallow and pretensious as she seemed. Yes, everything she said demonstrated that she was all about herself and what school has the better reputation that could enhance her status in society. She the proceeds to give me a back hand comment: "Oh, you went to XY law school did you have fun.

Yes, I did you fridged bitch. Some of my friends heard her comment and I said to them I really wanted to call her out but I did not. I did not want to waste my breath on her. Needless to say she did not have to many friends there and her attitude rube everyone the wrong way. To the point that the Texas lawyer's wife called her a cunt. I turned to her and said exactly. Now pass me the vodka.

The moral of the story is great people don't have to remind people they are great, people just know.

You tell one it leads to another.

O 'tis a lovely thing for youth
To early walk in wisdom's way;
To fear a lie, to speak the truth,
That we may trust to all they say!

But liars we can never trust,
Even when they say what is true.
And he who does one fault at first
And lies to hide it, makes it two.

Have we not known, nor heard, nor read
How God does hate deceit and wrong?
How Ananias was struck dead,
Caught with a lie upon his tongue?

So did his wife Sapphira die,
When she came in, and grew so bold
As to confirm that wicked lie,
Which just before her husband told.

The Lord delights in them that speak
The words of truth; but every liar
Must have his portion in the lake
That burns with brimstone and with fire

....Isaac Watts (1674-1748)

I love those Latter Day Saints commericals.

Time Off

This weekend had me working hard and partying harder. It was great talking to people from Texas and meeting Ed, a black man, who plays a mean Johnny Cash, and trying to make sure the local kids that kept running over did not violate the religious dietary restrictions. I mean honestly who purchases pork/chicken hot dogs.

For the next two weeks, I will be extremely busy with work then traveling to Chapel Hill for a Wedding. Then when I get back home I will be flying out the next day to New York, so, by next Friday I will be glad when the weekend is here and I will be able to canoe on Saturday. So, I will be posting intermittenly through the week that will not be indepth.

I'm I A Stalker? And Who Did I Almost Hit?

Ok, I was in a hurry to get to work for some pressing matter that need my attention. (Reminder shut phone off) As I was speeding into the garage I see this adonis before me. Nice chisel face, shaved head, about 6'2", with a relaxed out fit on. I waited to see if I could figure out what building he went into and figured out he worked in the area. So, I decided to go out for lunch and try to find him to no avail. I will continue to look for him and I don't even know if he is on my team.

This reminds me of another person I almost ran down. It was not my fault the person who believes he has the right of entitlement went against the do not walk sign. Again, I was in a hurry to a meeting near Capital Hill and I almost hit this prodigy of a very powerful, but tragic family. I will give you a clue. This man after allegedly being in some bars attempted to create his own byway through the Capital grounds. Who is this man? The above picture should give you a clue.

Europe Has Surrendered?

In Greek Mythology, Cassandra was given the gift of prophecy by Apollo, but was cursed by him that none would believe anything she said. She warned the people of Troy about the Greek's plan to enter the city by hiding in a wooden horse. Today, Europe has a new Cassandra who warns Europe about the evils of Islamic Extremists, yet her warnings have fallen on deaf ears. I will post later on this disturbing story. I have little hope the Europe will pay attention to her warnings, especially after the deaths of a gay politician trying to curtail Islamic immigration and Van Gogh because he dared to exercise his freedom of speech. I believe Europe will appease again as it has done in the past hoping that the new terror can be tamed, but they are only fooling themselves.

I apologize but I left the Wall Street Journal piece at work and once I do some more research I will write more.

The Market Place

The SEC will implement rules regarding executive compensation. The rules are needed to allow full disclosure to the investing public, but some over zealous administrator might try to write in a more substantive law that will limit executive compensation. I believe Chairman Cox will not allow this because one, the SEC is mandated by Congress to regulate the capital markets and is basically an agency the enforces disclosures by companies. Two, the creation of a corporation is through state law and a Republican Congress will want to support federalism. Three, the Supreme Court may hand down a judgment stating the SEC has overstep its bounds by interfering with states rights to promulgate laws regarding the creation of a corporation, the right of those entities to contract without government interference, and SEC does not have the authority granted by Congress to issue a substantive rule to regulate executive compensation.

Any time there is a great scandal or turmoil, politicians are quick to act. Although, their intentions are good the final product hastily passed might do more harm than good. For example Sarbranes-Oxley was needed to straighten out proper accounting rules and to add the potential of criminal punishment for executives of corporations. However, the onerous and convoluted law and rules that were passed have cause a tremendous cost to corporations listed in America and has resulted in many foreign companies seeking to list on less regulated foreign exchanges. I hope the SEC realizes the with the implementation of the new executive compensation disclosure rules that they stick to disclosure and not attempt to regulate the actual compensation.

White Supremacy

Shelby Steele wrote an opinion piece in May 2, 2006 Wall St. Journal regarding white guilt caused by the European colonization of the world. In today's world, America and Europe should not be influenced by moral relativist within their own society that blame America or Europeans first and also thoses societies of color that constantly cry oppression and refer back to history ignoring their own repressive regimes. His basic premise is that White aka European/American foreign policy toward other countries should not be based on a policy of contrition for past wrongs against people of color. In fact Western Culture's values are superior and respect humanity, the dignity and rights of the individuals far more than the regimes of "color" that cry out white suppression.

I encourage you to read the article and no it is not by some racist. It is easy for people that don't want to debate issues in an honest, open and logical manner to try to silence the opposition with ad hominem attacks. I'm pretty thick head so it never works with me.

Again, I apologize and will work his comments in another post that I will write about Europe and Islam.

For All Those Red Sox Fans!!!

I love this movie: http://http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cIQepTdyRKk

Oh, and before I forget Yankees Suck!!!

Order to Chaos, Chaos to Order

The pundits say that the United States and Russia are heading to another cold war. This may be true if America does not tone down its rhetoric. However, both nations messages are purely internally politically appealing to the masses or base. For the Americans, the message is that we stand for democracy, individual freedoms, capitalism and a free market and will champion them across the world. When an American official or any foreign official openly criticizes Russia's or should I say Putin's policies, Russia immediately acts with furor and lashes out. Great powers are not easily provoked to respond in such an openly hostile and derisive way, but Russia does which only exacerbates the situation.

Contrary to what most American's believe and feel, order is necessary to propagate the institutions that will support a democratic form of government. With the collapse of the Soviet Union a void was left, with no structure or order. Russia's earlier attempts at capitalism and democracy was meet with corruption and chaos. Putin rose to power to provide stability and order in the once chaotic regime. His speeches are all design to instill the people with pride into their mother land. His economic policies are to bring the once corrupt corporate oligarchies under the control of the state to ensure that the Russian people will ultimately benefit.

Today, Russia has under it control vast amount of natural resources. By instituting an market economy, Putin can control the growth, surveil for corruption, and once a stable corporation is established can begin to look to a more capitalistic approach. Already, Russia has taken steps for a capital raise of its Gas/Oil company. This is an important step because those that will invest want to see more corporate transparency. Great Britain after WWI had a similar approach to oil. Instead of purely capitalistic approach, Britain had a national concern to secure oil under the control of the government through proxies. Just as Great Britain did back then so to is Russia trying to mimic today.

American's must realize we must take a pragmatic approach. Not ever nation in the world will be able to embrace democracy so easily, that is a fact. What Putin has done is create a Hobbesian leviathan to establish order, but out of that order will come progress and advancement to a more stable economy and government that will eventually foster a new democracy. The rhetoric we hear today from American politicians is fine, but if that turns to actions it might lead to a new cold war.

Happy Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day to all those women that carried us for nine long months. I can remember one day when I pissed of my mom and she called me a "son of bitch". I said that is right you are and immediately a wooden spoon was thrown across the kitchen hitting me in the face. From that point on I realized my mom had great aim and that will be the last time I talk back her. For a petite Italian woman she sure knows how to make me shut up that many only wish they could do.

A Disease We Are Unable To Mention!!

As I lie in bed recuperating from my hangover after a night on the town I could not help, but watch this commercial. The actors in the commercial talked about a horrible disease that could not be mentioned by name. Having the disease will give one a stigma in society that many don't want or even be associated with thus will not say the disease out loud. In circles and commercials they talk of this disease only by its initials E.D. In reality, E.D. is a dysfunctional part of the male body. Today, before the world I will tell you E.D. stands for ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION.

Funny, how the gurus on Madison Ave. decided that they could not even mention Erectile Dysfuction in the commericals for the drugs that are suppose to help with the problem. I'm sure some men are thinking what the hell is ED and why do they talk of ED in such a bad way. Just say the complete name, ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION.

Before I Forget

I read an excellent opinion in the Wall Street Journal on May 2, 2006 by Shelby Steele regarding The End of White Supremacy. I will post my commentary on it later, but I recommend people read it that includes the liberal America.

Red Sox Win!!!!!

Red Sox invaded the home of the evil empire and took two games from them. How about those apples. That is all.

Weddings Suck If Your Are In Them!

After a respite of four years, the wedding bug has hit my friends. I have no problem attending a wedding, but I do when you're asked to be in them. You feel obligated to participate and easily agree. This year I'm in three weddings and will attend an additional fourth all over the country. Again, I don't have a problem attending. I usually have a tremendous amount of fun which is evidenced when viewing the couples' wedding videos. For some reason, the people taking the videos tend to focus on me as I dance. My dance moves are some where between Elaine on Seinfield and a person having an epileptic seizure.

As demonstrated above I have fun when I'm not in the wedding. However, when one is in the wedding the must conform to what the party wants them to wear. The first wedding I was in no problem with the tux. Thinking I can wear the tux again I ecstatic I will not have to pay more money. All my hopes are dashed a day later when I get a call from my friend from law school, his fiance decides we will be wearing brown suits down in North Carolina. Honestly, who wears a brown suit on their wedding? I told him, but I have this nice black tuxedo I wearing for the wedding I currently in could he change his fiance's mind. The answer was no because he would not even attempt to change her mind. Then I found out the next wedding is a different color tux. Now, I'm thinking being in weddings is a big PAIN IN THE ASS. It ruins your weekend, wallet, and free time. Not only his your friend joining the old ball and chain, you are for an entire weekend.

Now after all these expenses of getting the proper dress, hotel room, air fare, and booze tab (this expense if fine) you are expected to by a present. Are you serious, after all the money I spent now I have to buy a present. The only present you get for being in the wedding is a small token of their appreciation. The last wedding that I was a groomsmen I received cuff links. That was fine, but when I saw what the best man got I wanted to exchange, but could not be my initials were on the cuffs. You see he received a print of one of my favorite artists Caravaggio. All I had to do was look at and I said that is a Caravaggio' The Betrayal of Jesus. A beautiful painting that uses light and darkness well to send to the viewer a poignant message. It was because of this print the made me realize, I rather attend a wedding then be in it. Frankly, I'm honored to be by my friend's sides, but it is not worth it when you can show support by attending and seeing all your other friends because you are not locked into the wedding parties plans. Call me selfish, but that is my rant for today.

Why do I read Newsweek?

I never buy Newsweek, because frankly I find most the of the articles unbalance and bias. Today while at the gym in my cooling down phase I decided to read the May 1 edition. One of the reporters Jonathan Alter had and article touting his new book on FDR as a news article. The problem with the article is he used to promote his book and to ridicule George W. Bush and his policies. A person can objectively analyze the policies of the current administration, but you will not find that in this article.

He immediately makes a comparison that both President want to have more power in the executive, but FDR never circumvented Congress to conduct illegal wiretapping. One, that statement is not accurate and many legal scholars state the under the Constitution the President does have the power to conduct such surveillance and even if not under the Constitution the act passed by Congress allows the President to conduct any means necessary to prosecute the war not in contravention of FISA. (There are many more legal arguments I will not get into regarding this matter.) Two, Mr. Alter would like to ignore the evidence that FDR did have his own extensive wiretapping program in place without the knowledge of Congress.

He also alluded to FDR being secretive, yet being informed from capable individuals. He even cited Halliburton and war profiteering and how he appointed Truman to investigate. I hardly think a company making about 5% on a contract is war profiteering, but remember Cheney once and insider of the company. The one thing Alter did not mention was FDR was so secretive that he failed to include and prepared the Vice President to effective lead the nation in the time of war. When FDR died , Truman was unaware of most of the major development in the war including agreements between the allies and most importantly the Atomic bomb. You would think that the measure of greatness of a President is assure the American people that they would have an informed and smooth transition in power, which FDR did not.

This just an example of lazy reporting in order to promote the liberal media's agenda. Although, a reporters article can be mostly factual just look at what, how, and the words they write in their stories and it will give a way their bias. Mr. Alter has constantly bashed Bush with out giving a balance approach. Yes, if you have an honest criticism of the President's policy and present all sides as an objective reporter, instead of the facade of objectivity.

My Trip and Living with Diabetes

My cousin two weeks ago found out he had type one diabetes. He is a student in Austin, Texas with no family around. For about two months, he had signs of diabetes, he could not quench his thirst, he was tired all the time, and he a blurry vision. After losing about 15 pounds and having head aches he finally went to the military hospital were he was admitted to the ICU immediately. The doctor stated if he went to sleep there was a chance that he might have entered a diabetic coma.

His mom flew from Germany to be with him and my other aunt "the nurse" flew from Massachusetts to be the organizer. Once he got out the hospital, the nurse suggested that they fly back to Massachusetts to reorganize. When I heard they were flying home, I decided to go home. I wanted to calm ever one down and bring some levity to the situation. My aunts seemed more effected by my cousin's illness more than he.

When I got there he showed me were he has been sticking his needles, including saying he prefers sticking it in the butt as we walked into Brooks Brothers. I laughed and said I wonder what all the people that are looking as us are thinking about. Well, I was hungry and said we should get something to eat and he agreed, but wanted to go to one more store. As I was picking out a new pair of running shows I see the aunts moving quickly to leave. The nurse comes up to me and says the couz was feeling dizzy and needed to eat something.

Couz gets his sandwich and hits on the hot blondes behind the counter. I'm glad that aspect about him has not changed. It is a pretty tough time for him. He just turned 21 and can no longer have an alcoholic beverage and will have to watch what he eats. When I finally got something to eat, we went to Friendly's, because I love their Resse's Pieces Sundae. He was all depressed because he could not drink soda nor have any sweets. I told him you have think positive and not dwell on the negative. Most of the food and drink he can no longer have is bad for us anyways. I just hope he becomes more disciplined in taking control of his disease.

It was great to see the family and enjoy a nice relaxing day at the Cape. It is so easy to fall asleep in a hamock only to be awaken by the smell of steak and chicken on the grill.

Home my good man.

I will be heading up to the land of Massholes, visiting friends and family, thus will be away from this strange technology you call a computer for a bit. Ciao

Protest?

For those that don't live in DC, if you ever drive up Massachusetts Avenue (the Embassy Row Part) you will see this older man with a sign reading, Vatican protects/hides pedophiles. This really disturbed my scenic view past the British Embassy and the VP's residence. As I take the right, to head to my friend's houses and pass the the Belgium Embassy, I usually roll down my window and say something. I don't know, I can not help but go off on this guy.

I even call up friends to find out what is his deal. I guess he is on that corner pretty much from morning to night protesting against the the Catholic Church or should I say the hierarchy. The next thought in my mind does this man have a job and nice white gloves to protect you from paper cuts.

This man or a family member must have been wronged by someone in the church. I think I will have to interview him to get to the bottom of the story. Of course, I will be a little bias. It was the American Catholic Church where most of the abuse occurred and he has a right to protect, but there comes a time when enough is enough. I believe this guy has been doing it for years starting out over by American Univeristy and moving his way east. The church has heard the protests of this man and many of the other victims of those men responsible for their henious actions against individuals that held so much trust in them.

The Sox Win!!!!

The 200 million dollar evil empire lost to the Red Sox Rebel Force. I guess 100 million dollars just on the Yankees pitching staff does not payoff. Plus, they don't have the power of Papi that hit a three run blast in the 8th inning to put the game out of reach. Further more, I could careless if Foulke comes back as closer. What he did for the Sox during the championship season was awesome, but the current season is not won on passed laurels. Go, Sox!!!! (I wonder I will get a knock at the door from the FBI for memorializing what I watched on TV without permission from MLB?) Only 18 more games to go.

Solidarity - The illegal immigrant strike, I'm all for Freedom of Speech, but it is a little ironic that the people protesting are in violation of the law for just being here. I guess all the construction workers building the high rise were illegal or were they?
