About Me

Nomad of perspiratory saturation. Allergic to flapdoodle, boondoggle, routine, cynical sarcasm, and a sense of entitlement. Desiring to answer any inquisitive child's every question as thoroughly as possible. In search of cooperative community service. Wishing to be available, 24/seven. Most at home when surrounded by influences that encourage feelings of embarrassment over spending time, energy, and money on frivolities (egocentricities). The pied piper of purpose. Scribe and collage journalist of optimistic perpetuity, found objects, and urgency. Space consolidation specialist. Emptying and reorganizing rooms and yards. Addicted to the morsels of wastelessness and the juices of meaning. Imagining murals on every visible urban surface. Left handed and A+ blood type. Comandeering nooks and corners to lay my sleeping bag in many a cozy home. Earning them by washing dishes, massaging feet, and shearing scalps. Romanian & Polish grandparents bound for Palestine & South America during WWII. Mom a Colombian housekeeper. Dad an Israeli electrician. Future a mindful neighborhood and autonomous farm to settle into and help sustain. On standby for epiphanies. I edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V4.4 (www.strikefile.com/myspace)

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

People who know that being polite is often the rudest thing to do, and vice versa. Those who say what they mean and mean what they say. Who understand that everything in life is like a crowded, open air market. A raw exchange of thoughts, ideas, goods and services. A marvelous flow of give and take. A continuously boisterous negotiation that is vulnerable to rigid things like liabilities, title deeds, regulations, policies, credit reports, applications, ordinances, cookie cutter subdivisions, gated developments, tinted windows, trade agreements, chain stores, zoning laws, permanence, and expectations. I want to meet those willing to have their scalp shorn, even though they have an emotional attachment to their hair. That be a metaphor too. Travelers who contribute in proactive ways to the towns they pass through, who exchange networks for couchsurfing as they go. Folks with a desire to adopt children rather than spill new ones into existence. Not that I think overpopulation is the problem. Actually, all the souls that ever existed ought to have an opportunity to come back & give this another shot. I mean we could feed & house twice the global census if we maintain a collective discipline of resourcefulness. I want to meet those who offer constructive criticism (tough love) and assert their viewpoint no matter how shaky their voice is. Those who make the most of what little they have (in benefit of us all). Who don't mind the absence of convenience, comfort & privacy. Those who still feel that this world could make a turn for the better. And those who call themselves philanthropreneurs.

plump samosas

Shifting paradigms makes a really slow shift like the day after Christmas go by easier. I just imagine/pretend I live in a Communist state and so my job is not to chase desperately after the widest po...

metonymic quandaries

Last Friday some schmuck in a suit jumped in at Hudson and Duane. "33 Maiden Lane as fast as you can please", he begged with puppy dog eyes. This as I was attempting to fit a cup, brimming with blazin...

nomenclature of feasibilities

Cabdrivers never quite know where along a random route someone might appear with their hand in the air, and where they might want to go. It's fascinating to come home after a long shift and use one's ...

vestibule of lolligaggers

Every so often a cabdriver will run out of change because an unbroken succession of passengers pay with 20 dollar bills. Other times a cabbie might have accumulated a thick wad of singles, fives, and ...

cartophilic cabbies

A few who read my blog tell me that it's fragmented to a fault. Spits and chunks of thoughts splattered across loosely knit amalgams (paragraphs). Pardon me if this style of writing is less than artic...

gravy trains and fierce loyalties

An azimuthal equidistant projection, centered at the North Pole, between two olive branches. That is the flag of the UN. What I wonder though is: who raises all the other flags every morning. Each tim...

mosaic of tautologies

Member FDIC don't mean jack squat. The car wash restroom on W24th has a sign that says "This bathroom is available to all who need it". You must always put a dollar in there to help maintain the clean...
