New York

Steam

I’ve been reading enough about those Con Edison manhole covers and steam pipe explosions and electric surges in the papers lately enough to make me not want to walk around the streets of New York City and its aging infrastructure. And that’s not including all of the other hazards of walking around the streets of New York, like falling through grates or something falling out of the sky. I see the steam from miles away sometimes coming up through those orange cones in the middle of the street and of course I walk around them. But how many manhole covers can one dodge just to get around town. Life can be like the lottery sometimes. Hey, you never know. Have a great day.

Capital

Venture Capitalism? I mean Venture Capital? I am not exactly sure what that phrase means but it sounds like some sort of adventure having to do with capitalism and I have never been a really big fan of capitalism for I have always thought the word meant having something to do with money and rich and poor. And what is capital and capitalism, that’s a whole another post. Well, VentureDeal is a state of the art venture capital database and I still have to look at their website to see what that means. VentureDeal Venture Capital Database is a a venture capital database that provides subscribers the latest information about technology related venture capital transactions and deal makers in the United States and Israel.

Santa and Satan

Hey Bloggers, I know it’s not Christmas or the end of the world yet, but I can’t wait for Christmas or the end of the world to roll around to blah blog this thought I have. I want to ask someone, or anyone who may be reading this blog, why does the word Santa have the same letters as Satan? Any why do both of these characters wear red, white and black and are mythical and magical figures that one has never really seen, except if someone dresses up like them. And why is Satan the opposite of Christ, who is Santa at Christmas? And both of these characters are bearers of light and gifts and are able to change forms like angels. Are they both deceivers also? What is the meaning of these two figures relations. Does Wikipedia have an answer for that.

The Mediterranean

When I think of the Mediterranean, I see the Middle East and a greek salad with olives, feta cheese and a falafal on the side for some reason. If you happen to be thinking of buying North Cyprus Property, Wellington Estates can help you. Wellington Estates Ltd is a North Cyprus Property Developer with UK British management. They are all property, all the time. They build on land in which they own. North Cyprus is a sunshine island at the eastern edge of the Mediterranean and it has miles of beaches that are good for a greek salad on the beach. This is a sponsored post.

Fashion Weak

If you are weak for fashion than this may be the time of year for you. Fashion week must be coming up sometime soon because all of the newspapers are starting to show those familiar photos of models walking down the runways wearing clothes that say what the latest styles and trends for the upcoming fall, summer, spring, winter or any other season of the day or year it is will be. And what is there to say about fashion except go out and buy more clothes if you want to be stylish and trendy in New York because I am not sure if someone in nowhere ville, no town is as fashion conscious as New Yorkers can be. I myself can only afford to keep up with the latest trends that are to be found by shopping at the local thrift store and wearing a sheet or a potato sack is good enough for me as a fashion statement. If only every day were Halloween in this town because then I could wear anything and it wouldn’t matter because it’s Halloween, a day to be free to be whoever one wants to invent oneself as. Happy fashion weak.

End of an Era


I guess it is the end of an era in Rock N Roll. The news reports say Hilly Kristal, the founder of CBGB’s punk rock club in New York City on the Bowery has passed away. It is almost as if he could have predicted the date of his passing with the closing of the well known club last year. I am not sure what much I can say about CBGB’s that has not already been said about what it embodies and represents in its history as a club for some sort of freedom in music. Only that may he rest in peace and that this marks an end of an era, not only for CBGB’s, but for the Bowery and the New York Citiy real estate scene in an era of gentrification. Maybe the legend will live on somehow, though New York may never be the same. A cycle that is ever changing.

Moving?

Moving to another part of the block, town, city, state or country? National Relocation is all real estate all the time. They are a real estate website who can help you find houses for rent and information about buying and selling real estate, contacting real estate agents and property managers. They also have information about mortgage quotes, loans, real estate values, inspections, movers and much more. And as I have been reading in the news lately, the Stock Market is crashing as a result of delinquent loans, mortgages, credit and foreclosures so they may have helpful information about this as well. And you may want to pay back your mortgage as well before the creditors start calling non stop and you find yourself hiding out from the telephone if they have not repossessed the telephone by that point. There are a lot of online tools to use at the National Relocation website when it comes to moving. National Relocation is a great all in one moving company and may help with moving for you.

The Headlines

And the headlines are there again. Another person loses their life to gun violence for whatever reason for no reason at all except that guns have been invented. The story has been told in the head before and the story will be told again in tomorrows headlines with no end in sight. The am New York has an interesting statistic in an article titled “Guns and people”; there are nine guns for every ten people in the United States, a scary statistic. And The Villager has interesting statistics in an article titled “”Lower East Siders blast back against gun violence”, New Yorkers Against Gun Violence, told a forum that 30,000 people a year are killed in gun violence nationally. Again, I could cut and paste my other blog entries over and over in my appeal to banish guns from every human being on planet earth, and to banish the images of guns in every form of advertisement on planet earth. Guns are the worst invention of an industry ever. If only it was possible to go back in time before guns existed. Is another world possible. Peace on earth and goodwill to all mankind. And what does this have to do with a No Police State?

Day of Labour

According to the Gregorian Calendar, tomorrow marks the beginning of Labor Day weekend in America. And at first thought, I would assume this is another American holiday that is observed only in America and no where else in the world. I guess it’s meaning is what the advertisers say; back to work, back to school, end of summer, beginning of fall. And the word “Work” comes to my mind as I translate it’s different meanings. “Work in Spanish, trabajar which sounds like trouble in English which sounds like travel in English which sounds like travile in French which translates to pain in French which sounds like pan in English which translates to bread in Spanish which is dollar in English which translates to dolores in Spanish which means pain in Spanish again.” And so this translation makes me think it is all money, travel and pain again and this verse from the Bible comes to mind. “For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows”. 1 Timothy 6:10. Workers of the world unite. And what does this have to do with a No Police State? Happy Labor day weekend.

My Evening Gown

My evening gown, if I actually had one, can be found at Elegant Mart. They have a really great website to buy Evening Dresses, wedding, graduation, prom, and other formal gowns at great low prices. Their website offers designer gowns and that Ivory and Gold Pageant Dress on their website is really cool. I see elegance, glamour and the fab life when I see the evening gowns and cocktail dresses on their website. And I also see a good opportunity to play dress up. Black Friday, that frenzy shopping holiday, is coming up some time soon at some point and their dresses are fab for a holiday. At Elegant Mart you can shop the elegant life.
