Shitty Chairs? Unforgivable

I went to Penn Station in NYC to take a train ride to Long Island. I hadn't been there in years having no friends living in that direction. Wow the changes I saw!

First there were no seats at the train station at all. Everything had been removed. No place to hang your hat, no place to loiter... or like people used to do camp out there.

There was however one small waiting room that I found but low and behold the seats were disgusting. No one has thought to repair these seats and they are embarrassing and unwelcoming- not New York style at all.

The train ride however was really sweet! I think I'll get on just for the hell of it and discover some new places.

Why does everyone hate Clint Black?

Anyone who's been watching the Apprentice lately (the only reality show I wish I were on), must have come to the same conclusion. Everyone hates Clint Black. Denis Rodman almost clocked him, and Joan Rivers publicly stated that she will go home and burn all her Clint Black albums.

What's up. What are they seeing that I am not.

His P.R. firm must be loosing their minds!!!

Any thoughts?

Rubber Boots in NYC?

I've often wondered about this phenomena. How long do those rubber boots have to stay in the closet before you get to wear them. It can't be too cold, or your feet will freeze. On the other hand, if it's too hot your legs will get sweaty and uncomfortable

So... forget about the winter or the summer.. It's got to be a spring day. It's got to rain a lot and there has to be the possibility of puddles. This does not happen often in NYC.

Apparently today was the day. While journeying downtown I noticed a plethora of rubber boots finally released from their place in the back of the closet.

Best Indian on the UES

That's right on 1st avenue between 88th and 89th you can't go wrong at the fabulous restaurant. (They don't pay me for this).

I just got home from lunch there and it was no surprise that they get a food rating of 21. Everything was fresh and tasty with varied flavours. (You know how Indian food can taste the same). Not here!

The buffet runs 7 days a week from 12 noon till 3:00 p.m. They also have a great take out business lunch from eight bucks.

I really recommend this place.

Declare War, on your Credit Cards

I received a lovely letter in the mail yesterday from my credit card company. They explained how awful the current economic situation is and how stressful it is and then in the same font told me they were raising my APR.

Then I see that loudmouth Suzie Orman on Oprah telling people NOT to pay off their credit cards. is this a flip flop or what? Apparently, in her world if we pay off our credit cards the companies will close the accounts. Oh... big deal!

I say good riddance. Don't listen to SUZIE, she'll keep you in debt and beholden to these companies for generation. I say get out while you can! And NOW is a good time to get out!

We got into this mess my racking up loads of credit. Tell your kids NOT to get credit cards, don't be held hostage to a credit rating. If you can't afford it don't buy it.

It's up to us to put the credit card companies OUT OF BUSINESS. Time for them to leave the stage.

Pay it off, cut if up NEVER return. They'll have NO ammunition. What will they threaten us with? In fact it's a good time to stop paying them altogether.

Banana Republic- April Fools?

I don't know how they had the guts to put this badly sewn disaster in a window and only charge 98 dollars for it. It looks I sewed it myself-blindfolded!

Shame on you Sharon Osbourne

I understand ambition, I understand wanting to be in the limelight but this woman has got to stop exploiting her family- no wonder her kids are on drugs.


On their variety of crap show yesterday she paraded her husband and kids around like pigs in a blanket, serving up her or'd'oeuvres on how to be a shameless show mother.

Enough is enough!

And on the hush hush, apparently Sharon has another daughter who refuses to participate in this very sad spectacle of nonsense. At least, someone in this family has some sense.


And as for Ozzy, it was just disrespectful to his body of work to parade him around like that.

Stop Sharon ....stop.


And yes... I still think you're terrific..

Come on Sculpture!

Inside the amazing complex at the Lincoln center at Broadway and 60th stand two huge sculptures. I'm not sure what the name of the artist is but I've sen his work all over the city and it's fun and bulbous and aesthetically pleasing. In this case however I feel he missed the mark. Focusing on the genitalia of young children he created one male, with his penis sticking up into the air and one hairless female. This was a bit too much for me.It's one this to publicly display a male with a penis but the erect thing? I don't see the point here.

The best Seats in the House

I went to see a concert at the Lincoln Center at 60th and Broadway, in the Rose Theatre. I saw Brahms ein Requim and it was amazing. Not only that but we had the best seats in the house...our own balcony overlooking the stage!

Here's a mean little Cripple!

UES Sightings... Marilyn Monroe

We don't get Sasquatch here... but if you keep your eyes open Marilyn still lives!!!

Vampires, Quench your Thirst!!!!

Women on UES BEWARE!

At 7:00 p.m. on Wednesday March 4th two women were attacked from behind by a man with a bat. The attacks occurred on 90th and York and the other near First Avenue.

Later that night, at about 12:30 a.m. another woman was attached on East 89th and York by the same man with a bat.

PLEASE Ladies, be careful when walking alone and please take the iPod's out of your ears.

Who Knew?

How about some CEROTES?

Sarah Jessica Parker Come ON!!!!!!

Is it me or is this just way too much!

When the going gets tough!!!!

It's an old saying but it true on the U.E.S. at 86th and York Avenue.

the tough get going !!!!!!

Chimp Attack

What are people thinking? Let me paint you a picture of the life of a "pet" chimpanzee.

First, chances are the chimp was captured from the wild. That mean it's mother was probably brutally slaughtered right in front of the infant. That makes for big trauma!

Second, these animals are trained privately and in circuses for human profit.

Third, once these animal reach an unmanageable age (usually around two years old)they are sold to laboratories or roadside shows to life out the rest of their thirty years in utter horror.

What was this woman doing with a 14year old Chimp. Further what the hell was she doing lacing it's tea with Zanax? Had she been drugging this animal like this for years to keep it placated? This IS NOT a baby. This is a wild animal and it deserves our protection, love and respect. The chimp snapped!!!!

There is however a wonderful organization called. Save the Chimps, http://www.savethechimps.org/ that takes in these unwanted animals. Take a look at the site, bring your kids, adopt a chimp and help educate other on this utter selfish stupidity.

U.E.S. Fashion Disaster

As I walked to the bank today. I couldn't help taking a pic of this U.E.S. fashion disaster.

The jacket's way too short. Note the slip hanging out on the left side. She's got those 30's stocking on with the line down the back ,which can be really sexy in the right context but what made her throw on the leggings? Then she figured, let me put on slippery shoes so that my feet slide out when I'm trying to walk through traffic..

And if that wasn't enough... the gold bag?

How do you fix this?

It's the Age of AUQARIUS Deal with it!!!!!

Ok people. Here's my take on the job situation. I've been reading countless articles in the paper about what to do for requiter , what to wear for requiters, how to talk to requiters how to do everything except wipe your requiters ass. I know for a fact that some people are so power hungry are going around saying that they're requiters just to get attention in the room. I've also caught on to some sadistic Human Resouce people who have nothing better to do than interview people all day they know they'll never hire.

If your looking you are no longer in a position of power. That means whoever your dealing with is in a position of power and you're at their mercy. That's a shitty position to be in.

I'm also sick of reading fictisious articles on "how to land a job". How about this. Take that job and stick it!

Sit back. Chill. Want to travel? Swap your apartement, grab a back pack and go. This is your time to grab the opportunity for adventure. This is the time for you to do the things that you've never done before. Sell some of that crap you'll never us. Visit a soup kitchen for the first time in your life. Sit down, have a meal and enjoy!

Whatever you do don't buy into this financial doomsday senerio. Get out there, grab this chance because when the economy gets fixed you'll be back to nine to five wishing you'd taken this opportunity.
