Ok Enough Already w/ the rain

Jesus Freakin' Christ. It's been raining for the last 6 days. I just can't take it anymore. Where are we living? Fucking SCOTLAND or something? I don't see any motherfucking MOORS in Jersey City... This rain has been absolutely SOUL SUCKING the past few days. I just am asking for partly cloudy right now. I don't want sunshine totally, I would be happy w/ just SOME rays of light. Though I hear that it will not be sunny til Sunday... Alas, sigh.

Today was the big Yom Kippur. We slept in til 2pm. We chose not to fast this year. I don't really feel like we have anything to atone for.. cos we're perfect, Vicki and I are, aren't we? I have always had MAJOR issues w/ the whole higher power thing... I just would like to see SOME sign of something "else" before I commit to a whole day of asking for forgiveness by sitting in a synagogue w/ no windows open, and not eating as well......

And mind you, I LIKE our synagogue. Just haven't been for the past few months. We will be back however. Just not right away ! I mean, how lame would it be to show up the week b4 the high holy days, and then not come to Rosh Hashanah, or Yom Kippur services?? Would not be cool, right???!

Dude, there was UFC on PPV last friday, AND there was the Corrales vs. Castillo rematch on PPV on Saturday!! I mean, that's why you work, to enjoy it right? Not to mention the coke and the hookers and stuff... Just joking, heh heh heh. Although if there are any 420 suppliers out there that have Jersey City in their delivery sights... feel free to hit me up on the email !

Work has been kinda sucky lately. Not horrible, just sucky and stuff. I have deadlines for a project where I really have NO idea what I'm doing... I'm dancing more than Mr. Bojangles to pull this one off!! Jesus Christ.. I mean can you believe I was in a 4 hour meeting where we discussed, among other scintillating topics , that if we cut down on the fin seal (wrapper edge thingy on a chocolate wrapper) that we might save some $$?? Sweet Baby Christ, y'know? Not to mention they have been draaaaaaaagging out the whole permanent job thing .

I just want a nice high rise apartment w/a doorman. Is that too much to ask??

A little good, and some bad

So greetings from the JC, muthafucka's.

Since I last talked to you , we've had some ups, and downs. I don't want to really go into detail about the miscarriage, other than to say it happened, and we are dealing w/ it . It really fucking sucked, and it was really unexpected. Vicki is an amazingly strong woman, and I don't know how she does it. I especially don't know how she deals w/ an asshole like me. I'm such a type A fucking morbid person. I'm soooo gonna die of stress young at some point in my 50's.... or maybe not. I'm working on it.

And on a good note, I turned 35 yrs old Friday. We celebrated in style. We went on a drinking tour of Jersey City, which was not bad. Kirk , Dina and John, and Susannah Lever went out. What started out being a questionable evening (ie: some of the people not enjoying their meals, susannah being tired, and uncommunicative) it ended up being a great time. She proverbially sucked it up like a trooper and partied hard.

For the record, the Birthday Boy's Mexican food was pretty good....

Gotta make the obligatory Hurrican Katrina comment and say I was stunned by what I saw on TV. Never has an administration been so transparent in their failures and shortcomings... In the end , it will be Bill Clinton's fault, as everything is according to the Republicans...

"I'm Sorry, but you're Just Not right for our band--INXS, God Bless"

Have y'all seen the show? It is quite possibly the most fascinating television you will see this summer! It's amazing, and incredible for many reasons. Most of all, it's a train wreck! You have an aging , faceless band, looking for an incredibly charismatic lead singer. Now, INXS was great,... WHEN MICHAEL HUTCHENSE was alive (did you remember he died masturbating?!)

The whole show reeks of desparation, and I love it. The girl singers on the show (none of whom have a chance of winning, btw) are slutty, and wear belly shirts... and the guys are all questionably straight, and either "cocky" or "earnest"... Love it.. Brooke Burke is almost illiterate as a very hot, but very dumb hostess. Dave Navarro looks like he is about to join NAMBLA.. also.

As for the members of INXS, to paraphrase Charlie Manson, "They got old on us, baby".. They are leathery and wear sun glasses inside... and I love each and every one of them deeply, especially Garry Gary Beers!

That catchphrase rocks , doesn't it?!?!?!?? I mean c'mon IT'S IN THE TITLE OF THE TV SHOW!!! WHY SAY IT AS A CATCHPHRASE!?!? :) It will be this year's "Where's the Beef?"

Onto personal news, the baby front is progressing swimmingly . Vick had her 2nd OB/GYN visit the other day, and Baby Sincoff is the size of a pinto bean, and Vick is 8 weeks pregnant. All things going ok, Bean (our nickname for the little one) will be arriving into this world on March 18th. We have our first ultrasound on Monday night. I'm cautiously ecstatic!

It's an amazing feeling, knowing your gonna be a dad. I totally reccomend to you hipster guys reading this (Who reads this but me!?). ...... Go on, The Strokes and Interpol give you permission!!!!

What the Fo'

So here it is, over a month plus since I've last posted. I bet you think I'd forgotten about you guys. Well, even though I have a horrible cold this weekend, I have forced myself up off the couch to update you on my life and existence in general.

I must cut right to the chase and say that the big news for Vick and I is that we are expecting! That's right, last Wednesday, I was awoken by Vicki holding a positive test going "look at this good news"!! We had our first OB visit the other day as well. All indicators point to this being totally healthy pregnancy, thank god for that .. :) it totally puts a smile on my face. We're both over joyed at the prospect of being parents!

We were also up in Toronto a few weeks ago for Adam Cohen's wedding. It was nice.. Not as nice as finding out you are gonna be a father, but nice nonetheless!

Now, if I could only post more often...

Punk Ass Beeyotch

Hello there readers of the blog here,

I have been travelling around, making ol' Jack Keruoac look like an agoraphobic. I was in California , in San Diego visiting my ailing Uncle Elliot. It was an emotional visit. I'm so glad I got to see him when I did. My thoughts are of course, with him. It's just a sad, sad story there, and better off expressed at a later point. Just suffice to say the the great writers of Tragedy of our times could not write a more sad story.

Vick and I were also in Florida visiting Dad. We had a good time. Got sunburned, read a bunch of books by the pool, did some swimming and went to the beach. Dad and I did not argue at all, so yay Dad :-) In all seriousness it was a great visit, and I wish we lived closer.. And, that we could move Avenue A to Melbourne!

The post title refers to my former favorite fighter, Kostya Tszyu . He fought a major fight against Ricky "The Hitman" Hatton this past weekend. He took his title, and fought in Ricky's hometown of Manchester, England. Yeah there were 22,ooo screaming Brits there. However The champ, Kostya, quit on his stool between the 11th and 12th rounds . Again, I'm not the fighter, but I truly believe a champ does not quit, he goes out on his shield.

I mean, it's easy for me, but I've dug this guy from since 1996. He's been a great fighter, a real classy act. Champs do not give up.... They should get KO'd. Let him lose his title on his back. Not giving up and throwing in the towel. I mean, love him , or not but Fernando Vargas has lost two fights (to Felix "Tito" Trinidad, and Oscar Delahoya) and both times he got KTFO (Knocked the Fu8k out!) .... He knows about being a warrior. Even though he is a dick.

Kostya, I love ya man, but you're not a warrior anymore. You're a nice guy . Marvin Hagler once said "It's hard to get up and train for a fight when you went to bed the night before in silk pajamas". Enjoy retirement, my man. I will always remember the good fights you had.

Perhaps he was jinxed because that lame ass Russell Crowe was in the audience!? Wouldn't it be funny if that guy "Crow" From MST3K was the lead in "Cinderella Man" ?!?!? Or, even better , the antiquated "Jim Crow Laws"?!?!? HA HA HA HA HA HA . Funny.

Aside from that , Vicki and I are cautiously beginning a physical fitness regime. We bought one of them big blue exercise balls you see at your popular workout places for crunches, and the like. Soon enough, if I play my cards right, exotic male dancer/prostitute may be my calling , if procurement does not play out! LOL . Hey, don't dream it, be it.
