No More White

Well, Labor Day came and went and the summer is over. We can't wear white, the heat is pretty much over and the summer just flew by. I spent my Labor Day weekend in the Poconos with my family (pics to come) as my nephew referred to it, "Family Fun" getaway. It was fun - relaxing. It's always good to get away, even for a few days especially the kind of hours I've been working lately. I wish I could work smarter, not harder, but my management does not seem to agree.

Here's a few for the road:

Как найти своё место в жизни? Места знать надо!

Нельзя попасть в Рай одной религии, не попав в Ад всех других.

Гибрид акулы с золотой рыбкой: исполняет три последних желания...

Из всех писков моды белые тапки - самый последний.

Скажи мне, кто твой друг, и я скажу ему, кто ты!

Как сделать человеку хорошо? Сделать плохо, а потом так же, как было.

Четыре этапа человеческой жизни: ещё нет, уже да, ещё да, уже нет.

Спокойствие приходит и уходит ,- а страх остается...

Быть мужчиной - это преступление, а женщина - это наказание.

Противными людьми называют тех, кто владеет методом доказательства отпротивного.

Чем решительнее сомнение, тем сомнительнее решение.

Любовь - это как полет, но без гарантии удачного приземления.

А стоит ли вкладывать душу в тех, кому достаточно дать денег?

Послать человека на*** - легко. Гораздо труднее проследить, чтоб он именно туда и отправился.

Лучше нечестно, чем нечасто.

Любовь убивает время, а время убивает любовь

Если бы архитекторы строили здания так, как пишут программы программисты, то первый же залетевший дятел разрушил бы цивилизацию.

Пришел на работу, включил компьютер, к Интернету подключиться не смог... Пришлось работать.

В любви как в школе: самое интересное перемена...

Если ежедневно отдавать ужин врагу - можно приобрести друга.

Джентльмен всегда пропустит даму, а донжуан - никогда!

Секретарь - девушка, которой платят, чтобы она научилась печатать, пока она ищет себе мужа.

Вот уже и модемы у всех есть, а счастья все нет...

Можно ли называть изделия колбасными, если от них не колбасит? Irachka, eto dlya tebya :-)

Многие женщины не знают, чего они хотят - но они решительно пытаются это получить.

Диплом позволяет ошибаться значительно увереннее.

Цель денег - обмен, а суть - обман.

Чем больше глупости в голове, тем больше радости в жизни.

КИТАЙСКОЕ НАСТАВЛЕНИЕ

Можно купить дом,

Но не очаг;

можно купить кровать,

но не сон;

можно купить часы,

но не время;

можно купить книгу,

но не знание;

можно купить положение,

но не уважение;

можно заплатить за доктора,

но не за здоровье;

можно купить душу,

но не жизнь;

можно купить секс,

но не любовь.

M&A

no, I'm not talking about Mergers & Acquisitions . . .

Congratulations to Marina & Alex! Unfortunately, I don't have any great pics of the bride & groom (for that you'll have to look at LeMuse) but there are a few good pics of us :-)

Browsing the Net. . .

Прикосновенье нервных рук,
ее груди полукасанье,
улыбки бледный полукруг,
полузабытое дыханье,
полузамеченный кивок,
полузаметное объятье,
полусплетенье ватных ног,
полурасстегнутое платье,
вес тела - на одной руке,
другого тела жар упругий,
пятно румянца по щеке,
освободившиеся руки,
иссиня-черные зрачки,
на миг застывшее мгновенье,
нетерпеливые тычки,
неторопливое движенье,
вперед, на месте и назад,
на шее бисеринки пота,
полузнакомый аромат,
имбирно-мускусная нота,
под горло сладкая слюна,
полутона и полутени,
полузатекшая спина,
полусведенные колени,
по телу спазм во всю длину,
и возле уха слабый голос:
"А Вам сходить через одну?"
День. Улица. Час пик. Автобус...

Busy Again. . .

As I've received a few complaints about the lack of new material on my blog. I decided to write a few lines, although I really should be catching up on my beauty sleep. Well, I haven't been home and I've been busy at work so no time to really update and as it's busy season #2, I'm working like a horse, yet again. Yesterday, was not too bad I finished at 8:30 and today at 10. So, for the next two months, please have your people call my people and we'll schedule an appointment. :-)

As one of the partners put it bluntly in a meeting today, I expect that everyone is working 60 hours a week, 6 days a week - so fuuuuuun stuff. On a brighter note, my parents are finally doing something to their apartment, although not much. What's next? Maybe, cable? I guess that wasn't all too bright.

My dad's 60th birthday went well, although not as well as expected. Here are a few pics. Until I find a free minute or actually make it home, enjoy:

why does my sister always come out better on pictures than me? :P

The Worst City Names in the World

From an email from a friend.
Courtesy of Jul Genis
Courtesy of Jane Copeland.

1. Cockburn, Western Australia
Although this name is often pronounced "Coburn" by those who stand to lose from its awfulness, who actually reads that when they see this word? Oh, how it burns.

2. Twatt, Orkney, Shetland Islands, Scotland
The Shetland Islands, pronounced "Shitland Islands" by the locals. Oh the pride...

3. Taumatawhakatangihangakoauauotamateapokaiwhenuakitanatahu, New Zealand
Locals call this hill in Hawke's Bay "Taumata" because... Well. Just because.

4. Muff, Ireland
They have a town called Muff. Har har har.

5. Looneyville, Texas, United States
Little Looneyville was named for storekeeper John Looney in the early 1870s. But who gives a shit. This is a hilarious name for a town in the state that brought us Dallas, the Bush Twins and Waco. How awkward must that be when you go to college? "Hey guys, my name's Johnny and I'm from Looneyville!"

6 . Titty Hill, Sussex, England
Falling squarely into the extensive Stupid Place Names From England category, Titty Hill is probably located just north of...

7. Thong, Kent, England
Which actually is south-east of...

8. Gravesend, Kent, England
Oh, come on, England. Graves End? What a nasty, depressing little name. You could have at least gone all the way with this one and called it Corpse Feet.

9. Wetwang, Yorkshire
... yep! England again!
Okay, so I'll cut England some slack. It's an old country. You know, if the United States is Google, then England is IBM. Their country is older than freakin dirt. They can't be blamed for having names that sound funny in 2007. But this is kind of ridiculous. Wetwang? I'm surprised they don't have towns called Squishy Vagina or Infected Scrotum.

10. Spread Eagle, Wisconsin
If I were mayor of Spread Eagle, I'd be making diplomatic advances towards the city leaders over in Wetwang to form a Sister-City relationship. Or maybe more of a Platonic-Friends-City relationship. After that, we'd just take thing slow and see what happened.

11. Bald Knob, Arkansas, United States
Well, I guess it's better than Hairy Knob. I assume England already has that one covered.

12 . Cockup, Cumbria, England
Cumbria is a county in the very north-west of England. What the backwoods of Alabama are to America is what Cumbria is to Britain. They talk funny up there. Thus, it isn't thoroughly surprising that they have a town called Cockup. What do you call someone from this place? A Cockupper? Cockupeleite? Cockuppian? Cockupican? I suppose it's mildly better than Wetwangger.

13. Whiskey Dick Mountain, Washington State, United States
As hard as America tries, it can't compete with Britain's high standards. This was a good effort, though. Well done, Washington.

14. Hookersville, West Virginia
Undoubtedly named before "hooker" meant "prostitute who picks men up on street corners," Hookersville combines two crimes of place-naming. One, a dirty sounding adjective (they couldn't have chosen "Pleasant"? "Sunny"? "Happy"?) And two, they added "ville" to the end of the town's name. Affixing "ville" to the end of a town's name is like dressing your silly little dog in a cardigan and letting him carry his leash around in his mouth. It just makes the poor animal look stupid.

15. Hell, Michigan, United States
The people in this town at least seem to have a good sense of humor about their home's unfortunate name. Although, I'm sure there's some midwestern idiots in Hell who get all offended and defensive when the town shows up on lists like this. I'm looking forward to reading their insightful emails and comments.

16. Toad Suck, Arkansas, United States
So that's what they do down in the big AR.

17 . Middelfart, Denmark
I guess it's not so funny to them, but how do we know that "Seattle" doesn't mean "Big Fat Stinking Turd" in Danish? That's right, we don't. And it probably does.

18. Horneytown, North Carolina, United States
Its proximity to Hookersville, West Virginia is no coincidence. I also assume that, like Hookersville, the naming of Horneytown took place before "horney" meant "aching for a hot piece of ass" with an extra "e". But I'm starting to wonder why, pride and tradition aside, the townspeople in these little places never saw it fit to change their homes' names? Do they enjoy being ridiculed by the entire English-speaking world?

19. Shitterton, Dorset, England
I wonder if they bleep out the first part of Shitterton's name if it's mentioned on the Disney Channel?

20. Disappointment, Kentucky, United States
Le sigh. Never mind. You live in a small town in Kentucky. At least it was appropriately named.

21. Fucking, Austria
The idiots who live in Fucking, Austria had a vote in 2004 to determine whether or not they should change the town's name, and you know what they did? They voted against it, preferring instead to put up with international ridicule, numerous stolen road-signs and horrific Google results.

22. Last but not least: Whakapapa
Why is this the worst place name in the world? In Maori, the native language of New Zealand, the "wh" sound is pronounced

On Friendship

When we honestly ask ourselves which person in our lives mean the most to us, we often find that it is those who, instead of giving advice, solutions, or cures, have chosen rather to share our pain and touch our wounds with a warm and tender hand. The friend who can be silent with us in a moment of despair or confusion, who can stay with us in an hour of grief and bereavement, who can tolerate not knowing, not curing, not healing and face with us the reality of our powerlessness, that is a friend who cares. ~Henri Nouwen

The friend who holds your hand and says the wrong thing is made of dearer stuff than the one who stays away. ~Barbara Kingsolver

A loyal friend laughs at your jokes when they're not so good, and sympathizes with your problems when they're not so bad. ~Arnold H. Glasgow

If you're alone, I'll be your shadow. If you want to cry, I'll be your shoulder. If you want a hug, I'll be your pillow. If you need to be happy, I'll be your smile. But anytime you need a friend, I'll just be me. ~Author Unknown

I'm Busy . . .

School, work, boyfriend/girlfriend/husband/wife, other friends, priorities, families. We all have stuff going on in our lives and usually sh*t hits the fan (I apologize for the cliche) when we least expect it, but how difficult is it to return a phone call? to make time for your friends? or go grab a drink and chill out. I've been there and I'm still there, the whole, school, work, full time, part time, whatever, I've done it, just like everyone else and NO, I don't put myself on a pedestal because I know very few people that work full time while attending school full time, while having sh*t hit the fan all the time, but at the same time, not one of my friends, yet got mad at me for not returning a call. It may not be the same day, or sometimes maybe even the same week, because I'm busy, just like everyone else.

"Where there's a will, there's a way." and I have no idea who said it.

All we seem to be doing is eating.

-What are the plans for the weekend?
-Going out to a restaurant.

-Your birthday?
-Going out to eat

NADOELO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Don't get me wrong, I love to eat as much as the next guy. I love great food and fancy restaurants. I love a good burger and an old fashioned NYC hot dog lunch, but there's more to life than food. We live in New York and besides knowing what's the best new sushi spot, the trendiest hot-spot or the best new asian fusion restaurant, we don't know anything about museums or galleries, shows or movies, bands or exhibits.

What about my great example about a picnic in the park, with a few good friends, a volleyball on a beautiful summer day? What about a trip to the beach? What about a drive to go rafting? What about so many things and yes, we'd eat there too.

Happiness is a bowl of cherries and a book of poetry under a shade tree. ~Astrid Alauda

I give up. I officially give up. I offerred through my blog and through many an email to go see a bunch of great shows that are out and tickets that I could get at a good price. I'm tired of running after everyone, from now on, if you want to see something, YOU call ME, I'm always down. Until then, I'll be going alone.

Edible, adj.: Good to eat, and wholesome to digest, as a worm to a toad, a toad to a snake, a snake to a pig, a pig to a man, and a man to a worm. ~Ambrose Bierce

Middle of Nowhere. . .

So, I am in the middle of nowhere, Montvale, NJ. Although, (supposedly) I'm only half an hour away from the city, an hour away from home and half an hour from Woodbury, being here, especially without a car kind of sucks. I feel like I'm back in school - in fast forward. Today was killer. It was a looooooooooong day, with few breaks, a freezing room and an exam to top it all of. I'm mentally drained and have two more days of this nonsense. Room service for dinner will complete my wonderful day. If anyone is really bored on Friday and wants to get me out of this hell at about 3, do let me know. :-)

On a lighter note, it's really not that bad.

More Stuff to See . . .

A friend just informed me of two good shows in a cool atmosphere. He went to see La Vie yesterday and truly enjoyed it. Take a look:
La Vie
La Vie is a cabaret... on the outskirts of life. Before exiting either upstage or downstage, the players are literally dying to prove themselves. Flying high above the audience, the MC cajoles the players to act out unfulfilled fantasies, reveal hidden taboos and indulge unrequited passions. The final judgement is up to you. Remember, someone's hell is another's heaven.
Montreal's sizzling circus-arts theatre company, Les 7 Doigts de la Main, will present the first ever theatro-batic show hand crafted for a Spiegeltent. Four years ago, seven extraordinary performers from Cirque du Soleil and beyond formed the company which has since captivated audiences around the globe. Their mix of life-threatening aerial acrobatics, wild characters and wicked music will ignite the intimate Speigelworld stage.
"The gently unorthodox, intelligently wry and breathtaking skillful wonder of the `new circus` experience called `7 Fingers`. If this is the circus of the 21st century, things are looking up." -Robert Hurwitt, San Francisco Chronicle

Absinthe
Combining the traditions of vaudeville and music hall with Berliner Kabarett, ABSINTHE: LES ARTISTES DE LA CLIQUE is a variety show in which sultry Fairground attractions collide with sexy sideshow burlesque. The show takes place in a Spiegeltent residing at the Fulton Fish Market, at South Street under the Brooklyn Bridge. From their beginnings in Belgium at the turn of the last century, these iconic tents have been traveling the world as part of arts festivals and fairs. Please note: all tickets are for general admission seating.
"The warped burlesque circus show ABSINTHE is Cirque du Soleils younger sister - more brash, less inhibited and more naked...far raunchier, funnier and more intimate than its better-known Quebecois forerunner. The performers in "Absinthe" run the gamut from singers, jugglers, sword swallowers, men of unusual strength, and women of unusual beauty and dexterity. But there is a twist with nearly every act, something that makes you question how they even conceived of the idea, let along practiced it every day." - Associated Press
"On the tiny stage a young man with a breathtaking body languidly performs acrobatics, pulling himself out of a bathtub by bands suspended from the roof and spinning himself over the heads of the public, who are liberally sprinkled with water from his sopping-wet jeans. His act typifies the blend of skill, erotic innuendo and zaniness that characterizes Absinthe, part cabaret, part circus" - The New York Times
"Do whatever it takes to get a front-row seat. This is cabaret blinged up to the max and an unmissable evenings entertainment. The Scotsman
Sensational yet intimate...experience so rich...in a word, fabulous. The Sunday Telegraph, London
The years most extravagant and endearing must-see. The Austrailian
