A watched Pot Never Boils

Sorry it's been so long since my last posting, it's been kind of hectic here in the Life o'Sincoff. First off, major props, and congratulations to one of my favorite old school fighters, Mr. Bernard "The Executioner" Hopkins. He KO'd Oscar DeLahoya w/ one groovy body punch. Bernard now is (and those of us in the know knew this already) the ONE Middleweight champeen of the world, he has got 4 (yes, count 'em) belts, that's the first time a fighter has held all 4 world sanctioned titles simultaneously.

I'm sure that eventually boxing politics (or "politricks" as Lennox Lewis said) will eventually get in the way, and strip him of a title when he will not fight some bogus mandatory. Until then major props to him for taking the fight, and taking Oscar outta there.

Happy New Year to my readers of the Jewish persuasion, btw. Good Yuntif!

Anyone getting ready for the big ol' fast of Yom Kippur?

Had a good job interview on Monday at Vonage out in not so lovely Edison NJ. I believe the interview went well, I Did speak to all of the executives on their financial staff. The position will entail alot of work, but there seems to be a certain degree of freedom involved. Interesting. We shall see how it develops.

You know I finally went to the gym during the day, and felt good about myself, then my father called me up and yelled at me for high cholesterol, and being fat. He got the high cholesterol info from reading the blog.

sight, NEVER give your url to your dad's girlfriend, ladies and germs.

Went into Brooklyn to see the Dorinson's yesterday. They are my cousins on my mom's side. They have always been Aunt Eileen and Uncle Joe to me, and I literally grew up w/ their kids. Joe was the guy who got me into history, as he is a history professor (the chair actually) at Long Island University, anyway, they are cool peeps.

So the reason Vick and I trucked into the Ocean Parkway area was because Joe got us tickets for boxing in the Russian Jewish Enclave of Brighton Beach! It was this old theatre, that was totally geared toward the Russian denizens of the neighborhood. Eitherway, all the signs and promotions were in Russian! Wild you heard SOOOOO much Russian and Yiddish being spoken.

We were there for all the fights, but especially the main event Dimitri Salita. He is this Orthodox Jewish Fighter from Crooklyn by way of Odessa. He brough 1,200 of his mespuchah into the theatre... He even came out to a Klezmer band. Go figure. He won his fight, and it will be an adventure to see where his career goes. Technically he is sound.

There were these 2 big Irish heavyweight brothers who fought (not each other!) who had NO talent whatsoever. One them got knocked out by a portly Puerto Rican called "the bodyguard".... He showed of worked on his El Cuerpo!! HA HA

After the fights we drove my cousin Rob (who is a few years younger than I) back into the city and had a good laugh about being wild and crazy kids!

If I hear the word "bounce" in relation to how John Kerry is doing one more time, I'm gonna scream!

Today we took the dogs to this dog run we found in the Paulus Hook area of JC. Lulu was the Queen of the dog run, and Freddie was its' king! They are STILL exhausted from all the pigeon chasing, leaf running and wrestling they did!

OH M'GOSH!

Kate the young hip girlfriend O'Kirk's said "Ethan you look Ripped"!! My weight lifting is paying off :)

Now, if only I could lose 57 pounds!!

It was 34 Years ago today....

That I was born on this big blue marble. Christ, I'm old. I've gone from a premature kid born in Plainfield, NJ (Dad was watching Bob Gibson and the St. Louis Cardinals pitch a no hitter against the N Y Mets in the waiting room) @ Muhlenberg Hospital, to an unemployed, happily married gym going hipster in Jersey City NJ. Ain't life grand?

Had a pretty good Bday, actually. Yesterday was the big celebration for it. Susannah, Kirk, Kate (Kirk's new young cool girlfriend) Bicki and I went out for sushi at Avenue A Sushi in the East Village. A good time, and sushi-riffic fun was had by all. Even the angry, Canadian Lesbian girl who was our waitress... No sweet, smiling deferring Asian waitress for us.. nuh uh. We had straight up angry Bull Dyke from the Great White North, bebbe.

Then of course it was a couple of drinks at St. Dymphnas. Great bar, but the INS should still raid the place, and send all the illegal English construction workers who drink there back to places like Somerset, and Wolverhampton, if you wiiill!

Got a couple o' good pressies including the Modest Mouse CD, the Jenna Jamison Bio "How to Make love like a Porn Star" (she's such a FILTHY slut) and some other stuff.

Tonight was the Franz Ferdinand show, and dinner at Marco and Pepe's!

Gotta love bands who sound like Roxy Music, and Iggy Pop and David Bowie from Glasgow.

Lions and Tigers and Bears

Oh My. Yes, as you can see from my picture postings, Vicki and I were busy this weekend. No we were not opening up an exotic theme park silly billy! We had went to the Brox Zoo with our loyal friend Ms. Susannah. A good time was had by all, and lots o' animals were seen. There were lot's of mysterious black squirrels running around as well, which aren't so exotic, but would be cool if Lulu had been there, she coulda checked them out. I wonder if she would have liked meeting a bison or something. Would Fred befriend a red panda? Makes you think.

Seriously, check out the good kids at the bronx zoo . You will have a great time, and bring the little tykes as well! Put your walking shoes on because you shall need them. My wheels are still aching 2 days later! Even though yesterday was spent at the lovely Shingleton household eating grilled beef, and drinking adult beverages!! Imagine that, an unemployed person celebrating Labor Day! HA HA HA

Now that's political--do you hear me Bono Vox??
