I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

I am a professional chef. I am married and prefer the company of animals to people. I believe a person should be judged on how well they surf-cast. To me, Black-Jack is way cooler than Poker and a sharp set of knives is a status symbol. I think the Dalai Lama is a bad-ass and that Bill Murray is the greatest actor ever. I believe that women are stronger than men and that David Gilmour trounces Eric Clapton. My favorite animal is either the cheetah or the great white shark. Additionally, my wife sounds like Betty Rubble when she laughs, so I consider myself exceptionally successful.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Anthony Bourdain. The Dalai Lama. Noam Chomsky. Jaromir Jagr. Flea. Stan Lee. Robert Downey Jr. Bill Murray. And, of course, Barack H Obama...

My Blog

I was meant to write this.

I have been sick for a few days. Some kind of virus has been inhabiting my lungs and sinuses since wednesday night. Although I have nothing personal against this random twist of free RNA, I wish it wo...

Got Nero?

So, Athens is burning while Venice is sinking. Ironic that the two models of Western Democracy are being destroyed simultaneously. The very foundation of democratic rule is being consumed. While here,...

NYC ya later

So, here it is, my New York exit. Change sometimes creeps up on you, like a slow waxing moon. Other times, it crashes upon your head like a tsunami of reality. When my mother-in-law passed last year, ...

Oh... My.... God

Religion. Touchy subject, I know. I am not talking about spirituality. I have nothing against individuals' beliefs. I am indicting the organized business of religion. What has it brought us? Hatred, i...

Who do you choose to be?

We live in trying times. Intelligence is ridiculed while violence is praised. The word "intellectual" is thrown about like a derogation. Those who choose to make their voices heard over the gruntings ...

ME ME ME and F You

Where has our civil society gone? It seems presumptive to begin a rant with a question. Maybe I shouldn't assume that anyone is reading. What I will assume, is that our society has lost all of it's ci...

Hasta La Vista Baby Boy

He was my friend for 14 years. We met when he was six weeks old. He was chatty, affectionate and could eat me out of house and home. He had the bluest eyes I had ever seen. He never lied to me, never ...

I pledge a grievance, to the divided state of Amerika

So, exactly what are we celebrating today? We are told it is our country's independence, her emancipation from the tyranny of English Kings. We are supposed to set off fireworks, unfurl our flags and...

Infinity is not a car.

So, life goes on. Kinda trite and colloquial I think. Well, at least I thought. Life does go on, but sometimes some of the spark is lost. Not so much a dimming, just a little less bright. The truth is...

WTF

I haven't written anything in a while. I think it's mostly because I am at a point in my life where words are being replaced by raw emotion. The frustration of being surrounded by zombies and the walk...
