The media has often used simple and direct messages to hammer home a point that was important for us all to realize. Important enough that we should all be very concerned, very quickly.  To deliver a message that man should hear, digest and act-on.

I came across this on another blog yesterday.  I don’t know it’s full intent, but believe me; the message has been received loud and clear. Some quick Internet research reveals that the sudden disappearance of Honey Bees around the world has got scientist baffled and very afraid.  There is no greenhouse or entomological fix that can be applied.  No fertilization by them simply means NO PLANTLIFE; NO FOOD.

There might not be any ‘coming back’ from this one.

Yeah. Got me an asshole. That elusive creature we all hear about, but don’t believe actually exists, hit on me the other night.  The rain had just stopped and the NY air had that ‘Spring is here, go for it’ smell to it.  He was really cute, really fit, really smart; had large grey eyes; was available; employed… and had just enough of a drawl to melt ice cubes with.  He had every-thing going for him and so I went for it. Unfortunately he had everything except one thing.  Common fuckin’ sense. This tool actually thought we were gonna BB the night away without a care.

I didn’t handle it well and i’m sure his telling of the tale will only make me look like the stuck-up NY prude he thought of me as.  But c’mon.  I’m 46 yrs old and HIV- and I intend to stay that way. Forever. 

He actually thought that since “I’m a NY’er, since i seemed to be into him and since I was pretty good at making him believe I was “Up For It, ‘n All”, that I was ready for him to be large and in-charge and take me to the places I seemed to wanna go to” That’s an exact quote, BTW. That I’d be up for anything.

I know the guys from the Southern States know what’s what. They’re fully aware that it only takes one slip to turn your life over to forces you can never control.  I guess I just got the DICK I was looking for.

 ’n All.

‘Cause that’s why God made Xanax.

Family business is taken care of and I leave the coast tonight. Back in the big apple first thing in the morning and I can’t wait to reach civilization again.  When I was younger, a standing joke for most comedians was that “as soon as you de-board a plane at LAX your I.Q. goes down 10 points and you never get ‘em back”; boy are they right.  No matter where in the state you wind up.

I can’t wait to see hookers who’ll ”cut ’yo ass if you fuck-wid-dae-money’s” and not the kind that dress like Sonny Crocket and will drop you back to your hotel if you agree to give ‘em notes on their treatment.

I came into being. 4-4-61 @ 11:46am @ Forest Hills Hospital. Loved by more than one; a favorite of both friends & family;  adored without question; worshipped by those who’ve cared to venture forward & find the real person living at the center of the maelstrom.  In other words, I’m just like you.

about a boy ‘n his briefs turned me onto Imagini. The  banner below will show you who I am.

Whenever you’ve heard some commentator, comedian or talk show guest talk about the ISSUE that’s being pushed to the side, this is what we’ve been telling you to wake up to.

The 800 pound national security gorilla is sitting right out in the open but we are all talking about something else.

According to the Natural Resources Defense Council, Pakistan has more than 50 operational nuclear warheads capable of being launched by missile. We are not talking about a handful of low-yield nukes that exist in North Korea or the warheads that Iran might develop over the next five years. An unstable Pakistan is potently armed with nuclear weapons now and the country is vulnerable at any time to the turbulent politics embroiling the Islamic world.

We really need to begin a vigorous debate about Pakistan and its nuclear arsenal. Unfortunately, it is entirely possible that we could wake up one morning, turn on the news and hear that junior military officers with militant Islamic politics staged a coup and gained control of Pakistan’s nuclear weapons.
