CHICAGO FANCY FOOD SHOW

I'm in Chicago weekend to meet BOBBY FLAY and attend the Fancy Food Show.
I hope to fine tones of new products, make connections, and hopefully
get some new ideas on how to develop, open, and manage a new business.
So, wish me much needed luck. So, I'll post some cool pics from the food
show and my weekend trip to Chicago~ :)

later,

What is in the words of a song?

I have been blown away today. I don't think I can fully express what I experienced. I was searching for some music on a LA public radio station; KCRW. I usually listen the the archived Aaron Byrd show. A few weeks ago, there was a song by the group Little Dragon. During my search I came across this song and its video, which literally made me cry! I don't know how to explain it, but if you watch the video, watch it alone with no distractions, preferably with head-phone on.

Technology

I love technology. Today I just installed a bunch of new crap in my computer/laptop,
particularly my FireFox browser.
I can now not only blog from my cell phone! but I can now blog from my
FireFox browser window! :) yeah... :)

WHAT IS BEAUTY

Have you ever wondered why people find us attractive?
Have you ever wondered why we ignore the compliments they give us?
Have you ever wondered why we don't take their compliments serious?

Why is that?
Why can't we take what someone truly meant as a compliment and hold it,
bask in it, believe in it.

Why is that so hard for us to do?
Why can't we just accept the graciousness that others have provided.

what are we afraid of?

Are we afraid that if we reciprocate it will send a false message?

WHAT ARE WE FUCKIN' AFRAID OF?

We tend to not see what they see. We tend to reject what they "claim" to be
a fact for them.

We look at their remark with contempt, distrust, and utter bewilderment.

WE SUCK! WE SUCK BECAUSE WE CANNOT STAND OURSELVES. WE CANNOT BELIEVE THAT
SOMEONE WOULD FIND US ATTRACTIVE, THAT SOMEONE COULD ACTUALLY WANT US! WHAT
THE FUCK IS OUR PROBLEM? WHY IS IT SO HARD TO BE LOVED, OR BELIEVE THAT THE
PERSON THAT SAYS "You are beautiful" actually means it!

WE FUCKIN' SUCK! I FUCKIN' SUCK, & YOU FUCKIN' SUCK FOR NOT BELIEVING ME!

TAX DAY

Well it's that time of the year again when many people all across America are 'FREAKING' out about their taxes. I for one plan to take it up the 'ASS' with dignity this year. Why not... If you can't bet the Government, you may as well 'Let them fuck you good' and enjoy it!


So, sit back and let them 'ASS-RAPE YOU'.
'HAPPY TAX DAY ALL'.

The Discovery

Today I discovered that I may be a faun. Although, I lack the horns, and my body is not half goat; I feel very faun like today. Could I be goofy and say that I may be faun'ing over someone LOL... well either way, I type on my laptop as if it were my mystical flute and say unto you! discover the faun in you! You may have a better day or even week! :)

The photo is from another blogspot site... Please check them out. Great stuff.

OUT BIDDED AGAIN!!!!

Those "DANM" Ebayers who trick you into thinking that you are going to win the item that have spend hours and sometimes even days watching! ONLY to come in and steal your prise! I've had (3) bids stolen from me! Oh, well, I guess I need to be a bit quicker on the draw! ;)

AZZHOLE shopper!

Man, I was an asshole today. I can't even say that I didn't mean to be an asshole. Last night I when out shopping for an MP3 player. I started at Best Buy, one of the larger retail electronics store. I bought a Sony MP3 player. After opening the package and turning the device on; I realized it lacked one of the most important features I wanted -- that being an FM Radio.

I took the device back to Best Buy and purchased a different MP3 player. Best buy didn't have a case for the player. So, went shopping at a different larger electronics retail stores called Circuit City. I found a case that fit my player perfectly. The case was $9.99 plus tax. I got to the cash register and to my surprise the price was not the same as the tag. The new price, or correct price as the young lady stated was $15.99.

I told her the price was not correct, the tag says $9.99 and the tag is right there, which was not far from the register. She replied, 'I CANNOT LEAVE THIS AREA GO GET IT'. Now I have been shopping for many years I do not ever recall being told by the staff of a store that I'm shopping in to go and get a tag for an item I want to purchase in a nasty way!

I flipped... needless to say, I didn't purchase the case and left Circuit City feeling empty and agitated by my experience. DO NOT SHOP THERE!

:) oh well.

2 Cook or Not 2 Cook

I've had a bit of a problem deciding on a few things in my life as of late. Well, actually I've had this problem for sometime now. You see, I love to cook. It's a passion of mine. I even started a small catering business so I could cook more often.


where the dilemma for me is that I want more. I believe I would be better suited to cook delicious foods from the top of a grill. I would love to serve meals including breakfast, mid-dinner, and dinner etc. to my "clientel". I would love to make "en-expensive" high quality dishes that have an ornate take on food through a fusion of American & Pan-Asian cuisine. :) Thats would I would like!

Meaningless Sex or Good Ole' Masturbastion?

I have had meaningless sex before. I am not proud of my actions but I have had a one night stand. Yes, I will admit, I enjoyed it, it felt great. However, there is a downside to that type of fun. I had to deal with either me being at some persons place that I did not know or some one being at my place that I did not know.

So here in lies the problem and discomfort after the "ALL WONDERFUL FEELING OF CLIMAX" was dissipated. The thoughts of "was I safe enough." I may have warn a condom, but there are other STD's that a comdom will not protect you from. I never considered myself to be a "whoe."



In my mind I felt that I was a man and we all have needs that need to be fulfilled. However, masturbation wasn't on the table as a viable alternative until recently. I have been tested for HIV just about every years and often throughout the year just so that I would know my status in case it changed. I have been blessed that I am negative. Some of my friends have not been so lucky and they are dealing with something that has completely changed their lives.

So, my only option until I find a suitable mate is to MASTURBATE! I actually think masturbation is good for you. You don't have to worry about who's bed your in or who's in your bed. You don't have to worry about STD's. You don't have the thoughts of depression that may occur after a ONE NIGHT STAND! And for the most part, masturbation is very human.



It is a part of our nature and our wellbeing. Some people think that masturbation is wrong and a sin against the Heavens. Well am not going to attempt to weight the level of any sins against the heavens, but in my eyes, sleeping around isn't good for anyone.

I think that in the past some of us, we, and even me, have slept around thinking that we were going to find love, instead of looking or finding love first. Sexual emotions can be very strong. And it is those very emotions that we have to keep in check. Not just for the safety of our vessels, but for the safety and wellbeing of our minds.

So, I choose to masturbation until I find that person that will love me for me, and cherish the life that we can build together. I may not always be successful, but I will solider on in my endeavor to better my body, my mind, and ultimately my soul.
