Went here today looking for something specific … this place is the fucking greatest!! Love all the shops (booths), the prices, the selection, the activity and atmosphere of the whole Goddamn place!! Not only great selection, choices, etc.  … but un-fucking-believable prices and purchasing practices too!! No receipts, no taxes!! Money talks … and here, “Cash is truly King”!! Fuck the man is what I say!!

“nefariousness thoust be thine name”

Shit!! Definitely gonna make that a danistrulytheman quote, lol!!

This has always been one of my favourites!! Tony, at my local Italian deli made the fucking best version (potatoes, baccala, married together in a loose tomato sauce (broth) … EVER!! Only on Fridays though, ’cause it was so incredibly special … sadly he moved, closed down too eventually from what I heard, so I had to find other variations, interpretations of the succulent salt cod!! Portuguese salt cod is fucking unbelievable too, nothing to sneeze at, fucking love it!! The preparation process required before even thinking of using it, to cook in a dish, is time consuming, a couple of days at least of soaking, changing water repeatedly, making sure to remove excessive salt in the fish!! So much effort, for such a delicacy … but it’s motherfucking worth it!!

Where do you think Bobby Baccalieri from The Sopranos got his nickname from? Oh, and if you were completely clueless and unaware, please have the cojones to admit self-stupidity, lol!!

Wanna try this one, what a festive holiday dish … Merry Christmas y’all!!

Ten more fucking days … much too few considering all I’ve still left to do. Feels like everything falls on my shoulders … did I blog (kvetch) about this last Christmas too? Probably, lol. Truth is that when it’s all said and done … the family gathering, laughing, spending those precious moments together, makes the effort well worth it … and then some!!

You touched all who were fortunate enough to have encountered you in their lives!! You are remarkable. You are a shining star. Your legacy has been stamped. We will forever cherish you!!

I’m outta money outta hope it looks life self destruction

I’m travellin’ down that lonesome road

Feel like I\’m draggin\’ a heavy load

I don’t know about yourself or what you want to be

When we gamble with our time we choose our destiny

clouds inside your head
involving all my energies
until you visited
with your eyes of porcelain and of blue
they shock me into sense
you think you’re so illustrious
you call yourself intense

I can’t feel this way much longer
expecting to survive
with all these hidden innuendoes
just waiting to arrive
it’s such a wavy midnight
and you slip into insane
electric angel rock and roller
I hear what you’re playing

were fogging all my energies

bye bye love
bye bye love
bye bye love
bye bye love

I prefer taking the road less travelled!! Like I need to, or should be doing what the rest of the dummies are … uh, no thanks!! Frost was no idiot, nor am I!!

Ok, so I say this with tongue deeply buried in cheek!! I mean nothing says party like a big ol’ jug-o-wine, right? And this is the big 3L version mother!! But the message was made loud and clear to bring it ‘so we could get it started’ … hey, whatever rocks your boat bitch!!

would you even care

these are the eyes of disarray

would you even care

and I feel and I feel

and I feel it and she feels it

Got time time to wait for tomorrow

to find it to find it to find it

That’s exactly what the lady at the market said to me today!! Verbatim … her very words!! I say this because I’m a very positive, friendly person, and people who I don’t even know but I come across in my daily life sense it and comment on it, or react to it. Funny thing, after she said this to me, an hour later I was about to do something I had to do, something I knew I had to, but was dreading and not looking forward to. And let me tell y’all … I wasn’t spreading any sunshine!!

These fuckers exploded onto the scene in the late ’70’s wailing like a motherfucking banshee!! Led by the greatest frontman in the history of rock music, the incomparable David Lee Roth, their first four albums spanning from 1978-1981 still stand out as some of that generation’s best!! Check out the album cover photograph on Women and Children First … un-fucking-believable!! Everybody wants some … I want some too!!

I heard someone say this yesterday … I was within earshot!! I couldn’t fucking believe it!! It made me think  … and I swear I hadn’t heard it for 30 years … I completely forgot about this word, this phrase. Funny how popularity of words/phrases/sayings is ever changing. Back in the day, I fucking always used to say this … a teen-ager in high-school, I’d throw it around like it was nobody’s fucking business!! Whoever you are … thanks for taking me back to the fond memories of my youth!!

Mine specifically!! I work hard at it … really hard, sometimes too hard, going to great lengths ensuring it’s bang on, ever the same, never fluctuating, or worse yet, gaining … yikes!! Today, two people made it a point to approach me and ask if I had lost some weight. I hadn’t. I think at times certain clothes I wear give that illusion. I was flattered, but I hadn’t. Hours later it made me smile thinking of my response to the guy who asked me about it and how differently I reacted when a sweeter smelling, smoother-skinned person of the opposite gender inquired about it. Suffice it to say, I was happy to hear both comments … but only one got an eager and excited shirt hiked skyward past my chin, flat stomach flashed view, with plenty-o-smiles and a shitload of gushing, ‘ geez, what, who me’ thanks and appreciation for the comment … thankfully the other did not!!

I\’m growing hungry

Take a bottle, drink it down, pass it around
Take a bottle, drink it down, pass it around
Take a bottle, drink it down, pass it around

Underneath that sign always congregated quite a crowd

That WHAT you fear the most, could meet you halfway
That WHAT you fear the most, could meet you halfway
Take a bottle, drink it down, pass it around
Take a bottle, drink it down, pass it around
Take a bottle, drink it down, pass it around

This is a great picture taken Thursday (yesterday) by NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory showing the twister, the ejection on the left, and a huge sunspot on the right. Beautiful, just fucking beautiful. Good job guys!!

Shot this myself this morning before jumping into the shower … another mirror pic. I’m never happy with the results, as always!! I even tried shooting my good side … I couldn’t find it!! Sadly my two choices were bad … and more bad!!

What will I do

Never had a chance to say goodbye

I mean continual too, without rest … trying to sustain it for as long you can is the best you can do!!

Who’s the one that makes you happy?
Or maybe, who’s the one always on your mind?
And who is the reason you’re livin’ for?
Who’s the reason for your smile?

And you’re the only one I’m thinkin’ of.
You mean the world to me.
You are my only!

I love you so much that I think I\’m going insane

Everyone needs somebody.
And you know, everybody needs someone.
Well, and yes it’s true!
Everybody needs a special kind of love,
And you’re the only one I’m thinkin’ of.
You mean the world to me.
You are my only.

I feel so lonely yet I know I’m not the only one
To carry on this way.
I love you so much I lose track of time,
Lose track of the days.

You’re the one that makes me happy. Oh yeah baby.
And you’re the one always on my mind. And a-yes it’s true.
You are my reason, my one and only that I’ve been livin’ for.
