Rise.


Sunrise over St. Gallen, Switzerland...I love sunrises and sunsets.

You knew it was coming.....

Oprah Hires The Marines...... to go to Arugam Bay and help Nate Berkus find his lost bf, Fernando Bengoechea. Okay, they are ex-marines but I knew, fingers crossed, that she would do something sooner or later. But this was more than I thought. Of course a film crew/producer will be traveling with them as they search.

Because I Can


Haha. This Tim Mack, 2004 USA Gold Winning Olympic Pole Vaulter (no pun intended)

Only Gets Better.


Still H-O-T to this Day. CNN.com - Figuring out Dennis Quaid - Jan 4, 2005 Can't say when it was I first thought him HOT but in these last couple of years it has only gotten better. Meg who? I could have said that is our love child, but girl needs to get to an opthamologist.

Appropriate or Not?

Since moving to NYC ten LONG years ago I have seen things I never thought I would see on the streets, subways, in restaurants, at the gym (okay, I knew I would see that), but some things just make me sick.

Now I know people have a need to sneeze and blow their nose, two things that totally gross me out. I don’t know why they just always have. But since when is it okay to clip your nails in a crowded subway?

You never know it either. All the sudden you start to hear this clicking sound and you know you know the sound but can’t see where it is coming from. Then you see the man or woman who is just clipping away at their claws. Now as a decent, properly taught person I like to do that in the privacy of my bathroom, just because it is not a fun thing and easier to clean up; but the first thought that comes to me on the train is watch your eyes.

Come on we all know those babies can fly if cut at the wrong angle.

I know I am not alone in this but I think people are just a little taken back by it and don’t want to be the one to ask the offender to cease and desist. “DROP THOSE NAIL CLIPPERS”

Am I alone in this?

What else has stunned me? People spitting phlegm like substances on the train or shooting them from their nose….not on a crowded train of course. Had the pleasure of walking towards a homeless woman one day in the East 50’s and she lifted her dress like article of clothing all the way up and took a squat....just pee but I think you are getting the idea.

Come on people, we all have to live here. Let’s clean up this place and make it someplace you want to say you are from. Maybe that is why it seems everyone is moving away. I have on good authority that NYC is so OVER.

I am holding that in consideration but I can’t find another place to move to that is NY like enough to keep me.

Reading Up.

So I finally finished Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire this past weekend after starting it a little before Christmas. Potter is just bedtime reading, it too big to read on the subway.

Now I have moved on to the three, count them, THREE somewhat self help books that were GIFTED to me this Christmas. Two are business related from EJ and one is Zen and the Art of Archery from Dan. Since "Zen" is the smaller book I started that and I am close to being at least a 1/3 if not more done with the book. Quite interesting but I think it would be that much more if I had an archery master over my shoulder and I had a bow in my hand.

Well, that is that. It had nothing to do with anything but was in my head. Had another thought on the subway because of something someone was doing but I will save that for another moment on here, maybe in just a few moments from now.

And for those of you who read the 4th Harry Potter book just consider me Dumbledore and I am just pulling these thoughts out of my head but instead of a bowl, I am just spewing them out onto the net.

Ramble, ramble, and ramble on Chris.

Cereality should and could be a way of life

Cereality is a very cool new franchise that I hope will slowly get to New York. Any Jerry Seinfeld fans out there or just cereal lovers will really get a kick out of this place. They seem to have something for everyone. They were also on the TODAY show about a month or two ago with Matt and Katie, that is where I saw them first. So if you are in Arizona or Philly; they are open in your area.
