I know , I know. I gotta get to gettin' to be one of those "uber" hipsters who posts constantly on his/her blog about their comings and goings. I WISH I had uber hip things to tell you about! Sadly, both Vick and I have been working working and working. Things at the old Chocolate Confectionary place have had their ups and downs
Ups is that I was just (after 1 year of contracting) offered a full time employee gig there. Great, benefits and the like. Downs, is that the work has really, really sucked there as of late. I work for someone new, and they are just piling the work on me. So much in fact, that I have not been able to actually get into the holiday feel or vibe of the upcoming New Years Eve festivities.
Some cool stuff of late: I did get groovy Chanukah gifts: including an Oasis Day Spa package (I gave Vicki one too!), a UFC hoodie (so I can look like Evan Tanner! Howsabout that for a reference NO ONE will get!?), a UFC octagon shaped mouse pad!, Some upscale shaving products, and the piece de resistance, a pair of groovy comfy slippers, and PJ's. Thanks Vick, I hope you enjoyed the pressies I gave u !!
We also saw "King Kong" w/ the in laws in PA. Cried my eyes out. I cried in 1977 at the horrible remake then... and I bawled at age 35 last weekend at this new version. True enough, it coulda been a bit shorter... but that Animatronic Ape gave an incredible performance. He would be welcome to live in our backyard in Jersey City, anytime! Though I hope he would not want to eat Fred and Lulu!
King Kong, if you read this blog (!) , you can feel free to come and eat Zelda the cat ANYTIME!!! LOLOL

We're the Kids in America (At Marco & Pepe)
Hey now folks. Thought I'd get online and leave a little posting towards the end of the week. I can't tell you how long it's been since I've posted 2x in 7 days on here! So, you're really get a bang for your internet buck this week. Ol Mr. Sincoff is feeling prolific and stuff. Just call me Billy Faulkner
Had a very interesting weekend last week. I gots ta talk about pleasant stuff because work has been kicking my ass this week. I was just in a 4 hour meeting today discussing all these value savings projects for 2006 that the confectionary business is gonna do. The minutia we discussed was just keraaaaaaaaaazy. Like reduce foil 1mm on all Crunch bars... I'm serious. I want to push a child in traffic after that.
So last weekend, yeah. We saw alterna rock arena stars Foo Fighters and Weezer . A very nice rock show was had by all. Though my wife DID swoon a bit too much during Dave Grohl's Schtick on stage. Who woulda thunk he had all that charasma while the drummer in Nirvana .
Then, after the concert, we were walking Freddie and Lulu. We ran into the cool kids who work accross the street at Marco & Pepe. We finally went out on the beers w/ them. One of the waitresses', Jessica has a fiancee who is also named Ethan (see it's funny because MY name is Ethan, and HIS name is Ethan.. repetition plus time = comedy, folks!) .
This Ethan as it turns out is in this band called The World Famous Crawlspace Brothers . They do country acoustic songs about serial killers. Cool, sardonic stuff. He's a good guy, so I'm giving him a shout out here.
Highlight of the drinking night was when E was arguing w/ this waitress (like in a good way arguing) they were talking about cities going downhill, like urban problems, African Americans and stuff. Vick leans in and goes to me "what are they talking about?" I go, "They're talking about the decline of the Post Industrial American Urban Center". Vick goes "Oh, they're talking about BLACKS"... Hysterical stuff from my sexy liberal wife from Pennsyltucky!
So it was a good night w/ all of the M&P Kids. This week has been a blur of work, work , and more work. Oy Vey, man! Gimme Gimme a vacation.
Thank god the weekend is here!

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...
