I saw this man on the street a few times. The carrot peels would glow in contrast to his white tubs. He always had a crowd. Apparently he was very successful. The city has lost one it's fixtures.

By night, Joe Ades dines with his fourth wife at exclusive restaurants, sips Veuve Clicquot at the Pierre, and goes home to a three-bedroom Park Avenue apartment. By day, he is something else altogether. At 72, the “peeler guy” in the Turnbull & Asser shirts is a New York legend.

Resurrection of this dusty blog. It is interesting to see how I have changed in a few years.

You can practically hear the cheers echoing off the mountains of the Pacific Northwest--Idaho's got dumped with snow. The people are rejoicing!

Schweitzer Resort, on the western part of the state, got pounded with 40 inches of snow over the Thanksgiving Weekend. Bogus Basin, to the east, is reportedly "thrilled" by the 14 inches that whitened the slopes, and the prospect of the heavy snows this winter have set their hearts all aflutter.

Just got back from the bathroom at work with a realization.

There is not one thing that we do as humans that doesn't line someone's pockets.

Kip’s Castle is for sale: $8.2 million

*Sigh* Fireworks will never be the same again! Every fourth of July, Jay and I, along with many others, go up to the roof of the castle to watch every fireworks show from East of Montclair. You can even see a few shows to the south and to the west.

Wouldn't it be nice to live in a castle?

Upon further google research, aparently, before the castle was purchased by the firm, it was in habited by a cult! Bhagwan Shri Rahneesh and his cult were rumored to have 85 Rolls Royces, and a fleet of private jets. After the sale, they moved to Oregon, and drew national media attention when they tried to takeover a town. They allegedly made homeade e-coli, and infected 751 people in an attempt to lower voting turnout on election day! The attack was the first bioterrorism attack in modern US History, and the town of the Dalles, Oregon is still suffering years later. Crazy!

This post took a strange turn, but I wish Mr Tobia and his partners good fortune in their quest to sell the property.

Q: I want to fall in love, but i'm not confident enough i want to be but i always over short myself. I see loads of people i like but when it comes down to it i think i just look pathetic like i dont deserve happiness! Help me please

A: You have fallen into the trap. The truth of life is that no one is better than anyone else! You are an induvidual! You are the man! Maybe in your own world, but you are the man nontheless. Confidence is nothing more than accepting yourself. Once you accept yourself, your personality will shine through. After that its all down hill.

On ESPN Radio today, the topic of Tiger Woods showing emotion was brought up today. Tiger attracts new vewers to the sport of golf, such as myself. When he makes a bad shot, sometimes he swears, and sometimes he throws his club. I don't condone such behaivior, but I understand it. In todays sports, there is more competition than ever before. The stakes are higher, the money is greater, and the performances are top tier. With higher competition comes stronger emotion. I commend those who are able to maintain their composure under such conditions, but does that mean you lack the fire to be the best?

Hello Ms. Jeri,

I have never met you, and I only new Laquan on an acquaintance level, but I was very deeply saddened to hear of his loss. I want you to know that Laquan had such a positive affect on my life. I am also a minority who graduated from MKA. I looked up to Laquan very much. He was an upperclassman who I saw conquer our high school, both as a Cougar and a Black Man. Through him, I gained the confidence to do the same. We also had a mutual friend in Fran De La Torre. Once, I believe in the summer of 2001, she brought him to my birthday party. I will never forget the love he showed me. He was such a friendly person. He gave me love as if we had known each other forever. I had a great picture of him and I, picking me up and pretending to throw me in the pool. I will never forget that moment, and the fun we had that night. I wish we had hung out more. I know you already know how great of a man Laquan was. I hope that my great memories of him give you some peace, or perhaps a smile. My prayers are with you and your family.


Sincerely,

Jordan Jay Fraser

With that said, there are two sneakers which I have my eye on. LOL

They are designed by a customizer named Sabatage (SBTG) and will be released exclusivly in Asia.

I have had a few of my friends come up to me and ask why I have not posted recently. Specifically, I have had a friend say, I may not be into sneakers and the such, but I enjoy seeing what you like. Well, as those who know me know, I have a sneaker addiction. Recently, actually not to recently, I would say maybe 3 months ago, I decided enough is enough. No more sneakers. I don't pay attention to the sites that I used to. Yesterday I had some free time, and walked right past one of my favorite sneakers stores. Its kind of like an alcoholic avoiding a bar, I don't want to tempt myself.

However, After months of avoiding anything sneaker related, I find that my mindset has changed. I did go into many sneaker stores last Sunday with Pam, and wasn't interested in buying any. There is even a pair on eBay which I have wanted for a while, and is cheaper than I have seen in any store. I still have been able to resist the purchase. Why? It's not the money. I have come to the understanding that I have allot of sneakers, and I don't need anymore. Sure, I want more, but for now the understanding is greater than the want. For now...

Anyways, I hope to post more in the blog, so to those two or three readers I have (Lauren, Fran :) ) stay tuned!
