3rd time luck New York, sweating my ass off too

Shooting a black man in Brooklyn


Jazz on Sunday in Washington park


So you say, what was the big apple like, anything rotten? Err... no.

In Mexico, it was getting hard to find somewhere to pratice my Spanish, in New York it seemed like the easiest place to practice my Spanish (i'm just like a Doctor or Lawyer when it comes to languages, and not a good one, i do recommend plenty of rest and a balanced diet and whatever the Spanish equivalent is, or whatever)

Bedford Av, Brooklyn


New York subway, cant be beaten, just like a box of chocolates


Now, here come the highlights....

Young Frankenstein, going to see the Yankees beat Toronto, a Canadian guy bought a fly ball for $200 and bought hostile New Yorkers a beer ($10 each) and wanted to buy another fly ball for $200, more money than sense i think, the Canadian dollar is doing better than the US $, the Yankees weren't too happy with that... and they were winning too

Went to see the Mets....and they weren't playing...well meself and Diana were there

Now watch this

Strong man of Coney Island in Brooklyn



Only way a white man can shoot a black man in Brooklyn and not cause a riot


I remember walking towards Times Square and i hear a guy ask people 'How do you get to heaven without going to hell', the more i think about it, he wasn't as crazy now as he seemed.

Hmmmmm

Saw this guy in Melbourne before i left, flew the coup

Revolver, funny place


Let me tell you how i went from looking like i slept on the streets of New York to looking respectable (minus more tattoos)

Before


I was walking with Diana in Coney Island looking for an ATM, after the ATM we walked passed a barber shop, in i went for a look, after negotiating a shave and hair cut for $15, in i sat, we were off.

The barber says to me 'Brother you really need a hair cut', i was thinking trimm, he gets his electric razor and cuts a big chunk of hair off the side of my head, it was 100c outside, before long the electric razor was all over my head, i was feeling cooler, employment prospects were looking up

After



Cyclone Roller coaster


All the cranes in New York were falling out of the sky, this roller coaster is over 80 years old, i hope the safety inspector is doing his job. Could it be a problem with the gravity in NY?

Back to the old country, no words for a while, now this

Me standing at the 5 points, New York

It's been a while, now something kick ass from a band that haven't been around for a while either.

Guns N' Roses 2006


Might as well stick some words in here, after all i have nothing better to do, and it would justify in some small way sticking all these pictures and videos when after all you could get them all somewhere else.

Diana had one of many dreams, she told me about it.

Here goes, we were walking somewhere and some guys were setting a woman on fire and i said 'You see Diana, that's how you do it!'

I'm pretty witty in other people's dreams it would appear, i wish i could be half as witty in reality or my own dreams, i don't ask for much.

So i did a search on fire and i found this

A writer for a Brooklyn paper has a blog all about the txt messages she gets, i could have a similar site, if only......i turned my phone on and gave out my number to people that might want to call me, but why take the risk in all that, and then you have the mobile microwave's frying your balls.

Being unpopular is much cheaper and healthier

Times Square


That will be all....for now

If I were a painter I would paint my reverie

Diana put me on to this guy http://www.adamsky.com/portfolio.html, I know my mother would be delighted to see me with more tattoos.

What about your career? You’ll get no job. Indeed, just as well I don’t want a job, just as well.

Met some Canadians on the beach 2 days ago, we gave them our tent so they could get away from the nasty backpackers.

We also met a Mexican guy that walks around very much like a lot of those Hindu priests do in India, by smoking hash they can talk to their gods, he does that too, he’s a long way from India.

Things are getting pretty romantic




He has been changing his skin color, to some kind of greenish color, and sleeps up river, there’s not much rain now, but that will change.

Yesterday the chick from Vancouver was calling him a reject of society, until I pointed out that we can all talk to each other without insulting each other, imagine al the people?

Then Vancouver passed out sitting on the chair after 2 beers, 2 glasses of wine and a few shots of Yeager.

They all leave eventually; the Mexican Hindu guy is floating down the hill, taking in all the beauty of the world, after consuming his tin of sardines, breakfast, lunch and dinner.



Both Vancouver’s are helping themselves down (her pretty bad), Hindu guy is back up and gone again.

Today I hear all these voices, so I look out and the 3 Amigos are back, Hindu guy and 2 Vancouver’s, same seats.

It was pretty obvious from yesterday little miss V. didn’t like the Hindu guy, and sat in between them was Diana, with 2 conversations going on between 4 people.

It would have been enough for me to say `All of ye, feck off out of here…..not you Hindu, you keep rattling away there, I’m feeling more and more normal listening to you`

I like this life


Yesterday Hindu told us he was trying to hitch out of Vegas for 10 days and gave up and walked into the desert to kill himself, he instead walked across the desert; he said it was the only way to leave Vegas.

Not sure how factual any of that would have been, but it was a good story

Reflections on the new me.

Where has all the energy gone? I was lying on the couch after having one of many `Nanny Naps`, `No, energy, what is happening to me`, and then I realized I haven’t been eating much meat recently.

When I first went traveling I only had the cheapest thing on the menu, which was always NOT the meat option.

So not much Iron was in my system, this was when I first got to Melbourne and I hadn’t had meat in months.

So spare ribs it will be later, full order thanks.

With all the lying around, the RPM`s have gone down a bit, but I now understand the Yelapa `Attitude to life` and how things take forever to get done.
This week all I have done is wave up, eat, sleep, read, surf the net and generally do nothing. Welcome to Yelapa.
And then there is the hammock which fits perfectly every time.

People here say `I will do it`, that can mean `I will do it in the next 6 months….or so`

Week 3 into living the same house as

1 Canadian (of the female kind)
1 Dog (without his balls) that hates cats
2 house cats (semi ferral)
Numerous other cats

...and all is well, so far, nobody has gotten dead...yeat, nobody has even lossed an eyeball

Found a book in the house by a guy called Robert Mc Lane, it`s called `Stop war America`
He even had the drill sargent from ´Full metal jacket` as a drill instructor, before he went to war he was pretty traumatised, he put his religion down as `Hippy` before being sent to Vietnam and spent a month smoking joints before being picked up and sent back, makes sense to me.

Since i last left you i learnt about`Straw man`, tactics, interesting to know, makes more sense every time you see Fox knews or Bill O`Reilly in action.

Been listening to Radio 1 on Dial up, Crankin` it up and banging it out.


Go to bluezones.com to see how long they think you will live, as you can see, i`m 24.4 years old and going to live till i`m 83.4, who would have thought that one?

Healthy me

WReading, Writing and WeReading, all the R`s

´Bambi´ AKA ´Sultan´ on guard


I was reading a book called `Ireland` by Frank Delaney, want to read an excerpt?

Well to start off, i might say i learnt a few things (well i was reading a book with no pictures!)

Ireland is 434kms long and 225kms wide, so you`d never be more than 112 kms from the coast line, which might seem like a long way, but not in other countries (thats where i am, one of the other countries, Mexico to be exact)


On with the learning of things and all things Irish

795 - Danes invade

795 - 1170 Medieval period, more reading

460 - Confessio of St Patrick

1014 - Battle of Clontarf


1170 - Arrival of Strongbow (Richard Fitzwilliam de Clare) Earl of Pembroke

Note the kitty kat in the top left corner checking out the scene

While the (ferral) cat´s (were driven) away......the dog will stay!!!!

A concerned citizen



An word came into my mind a few daze ago (in the midst of a passionate frantic midnight embrace with Diana)

That word was Apoplexy

Historical meaning of the word

Historically, the word "apoplexy" was also used to describe any sudden death that began with a sudden loss of consciousness, especially one where the victim died within a matter of seconds after losing consciousness.

Those reading historical documents should take into consideration the possibility that the word "apoplexy" may be used to describe the symptom of sudden loss of consciousness immediately preceding death and not an actual verified disease process. Sudden cardiac deaths, ruptured cerebral aneurysms, certain ruptured aortic aneurysms, and even heart attacks may have been misdiagnosed as apoplexy in the distant past.

Diana wrote it as `ABORPLEXIA' - `Word you thought of while bloging your load into Canada Jr`

Interesting stuff, do you feel like your learning stuff? Yes, me too!!

More interesting stuff, Diana was telling me about Takeshi's Castle

Here it is


Now here`s the `Health and fitness section` (dont worry all respectable sites that publish `All the news thats knews`does this, so here goes)

Some guy, with a white coat (i`m told) or even Some guy (i`m told) with a white coat tried to figure out why Mexicans were so healthy, he figures out (dont ask me how)

4 foods that make Mexicans healthy

*Chili
* Lime
* Garlic
* Papaya

I had chicken cooked with Papaya last year, it was the best chicken i ever had.

One of the gringod here Kevin was telling me that any hard meat marinated in papaya becomes soft, so there you go

The meaning of things.......and another thing

Home sweet home

As Tom Robbins might say, `First there was the thing and one thing led to another`

What does it all mean i ask, am i any closer to where i am going, depends where i was and where i am going, and some times i`m not sure of any of these 2 points, which insignificant as they might be, are pretty important (physiology students sit upright and pay attention)

I like cats, thats normal isn’t it?


One thing i found on the net was one of many books google have been scanning, hopefully this all means something to you, forget meaning, just keep going.

Well this week marks the blog domain change, something more logical, meaningful and more difficult for the the ´snitches´ who have been eating too many mars bars, i only have love for them (the mars bars)



Now for the local news that`s fit to publish on the net (and since i`m doing the writing, editing, sweeping up in the back room to making all the tea`s and coffees)

Does this sound like your cup of tea? No? Maybe you`d like something a bit mature, or maybe you`d like to watch some TV, no problem, go here, bye, bye now!

Now for the round up of Yelapa, while i`ve been busy, shooing the residental cats with a broom (and love), Diana has been Soooing my favourite beach dog `Bambi` with a bigger broom and love.



It seems that Bambi, like me just doesnt understand the point of having wild ferral cats around and in your house and took off after them and did a pretty good job of clearing them off, Diana was not happy with Bambi, the poor dog, in the movie Bambi`s mother was killed after a hunter killed it with a gun, such a sad story, i wonder was this the story of his life too?

Bambi really likes milk and i`ve discovered, if you give him milk in the morning, he`ll stick with you for the whole day, so i gave him milk this morning and off we went to the beach, what a lovely day.

Dogs and chickens getting on, the rooster here has 1 leg, that er....works


We came back as 3 (Diana meself and Bambi), the term `3 is a crowd` came to mind and for the first time in my life i actually understood what that term meant.

After chasing the poor dog around the house and down the garden like a mad woman with the broom, Bambi stopped and stuck his 4 paws in the air (there is only love in his heart), it was all pretty funny to watch, with a cat inside looking down at me as if to say `Is he still out there`

I like to talk with the animals, walk with the animals...


He kept his distance until the crazy lady went in for a bit and when i was inside i could see him lying under the window, except he had knocked heaps of pots over lying where one of the cats normally sleeps.

He actually woke up one of the cats yesterday sleeping in the same place, before all hell broke loose.

The YESI Spanish school was no more `Cat infested` as it had been described by a past student, no job is too big or small for Bambi.

Bambi and Diana, happier days on the beach (no cats)

Sunny day, everything`s A, ok?

Went to the waterfall in Pasoda, here`s the proof



Walked to the waterfall, since we lost our sandel`s, or someone took them, my money is on the latter, i was going to have to get new ones anyway. The funny thing is one of the beach dogs had a great time chewing on one of my sandels, Diana did some great work sewing it together, now both our sandles are gone, have to wait until i get back to the mainland to get sandels, in Walmart $2 will do the job.

Nothing like reading about Ireland while coping with 30c, with a coco loco and a little flower


Hung out in Pasoda for a week, the woman living in the nearest house Jeanie, used to work for `The greatful dead`, she had lots of stories about the 60`s and 70`s, which would lead you to think, was she there?

House sitting for Jean the Spanish teacher for 1 month, too easy, hammock, computer, music

Diana the poet and i never knew it all along

Been a long time, been a long time

From Found magazine

Many things have happened since i last wrote something, and now here`s something else
Looking at tickets back to the old country yesterday, Diana says `What about New York`, what indeed, since i will have to go through somewhere like New York, why not stop off there?

Why not, since i already know the place, and the place knows me, why not indeed, this time i wont try and strike up a conversation with people because Diana will be there too, makes sense the more i think about it, not going to think too much, thinking can be bad.

Broadway here i come......again, cant wait!!

Good old book burning, featuring Bill o Reily


Found that book when i first got to Yelapa, it had excerpt`s from his interviews, i assumed the role of Bill O Reiley, memoriable quotes include `Come on, this is America`, what a tool, he had to burn.

Diana and Bambi


Bambi is everyones dog, i met the woman Claudia that was given him, he calls to see her every few days, the morning that picture was taken i saw Babmi with Claudia in the shop, his tail was wagging in the shop, he was very nearly knocking stuff off of the shelves.

Claudia had just given him Pasta and bones and she was sure he would stay for a few days, i left the shop, he followed me, i gave hime some milk, he stayed with us all the day, he even wanted to come into the tent in the afternoon, someone should tell him he`s a dog

Since i forgot my notebook, the pictures will have to tell the words
