Tonight, I’m writing just to write. 2am. Laptop. It’s become a ritual. By the way, ritual is one of my favorite words. Rituals are usually the most fun parts of things. For example, if you smoke cigarettes, it’s the ritual that’s harder to break in my opinion than the physical addiction. I miss buying a…

I saw The Royal Tenenbaums with my stalwart comrade Nitetrain Nick in Houston back in 2001. I do believe it’s my favorite movie that I’ve seen in a cinema. Wes Anderson and Owen Wilson wrote a cracking script, word-perfect. They assembled one of the best casts ever and each actor delivers memorably but what makes the movie…

This is one of my favorite Woody Allen scenes. It comes toward the end of Manhattan, Woody’s tour de force about relationships and life in Manhattan circa the late 1970s. It’s a stunningly shot movie, especially the black and white cityscapes set to the tunes of George Gershwin. It’s gorgeous and I always feel good…

Well, it’s been six months since I started selling seafood. It’s been a learning experience. This is one thing I learned. The fish is caught. We pay the fisherman. A truck picks up the fish, takes it to a freezer on a ship. We freeze it. Pay the truck. Pay the freezer. Pay the ship.…

“We’re all works in progress … we’re paintings… the oil don’t dry till we die” – Kanye West I’VE been taking a ton of photos lately and I’ve really come to love my Nikon. I bought it a year ago in Korea and it was expensive. I felt a little buyer’s remorse since it was…

In 2010, in New York City, the construction of a mosque is being halted under the guise of sensitivity. Since when has “It’s a sensitive issue” been a legit reason to deny someone their rights? I keep hearing “They have the right to build the mosque there but we’re asking them to be less insensitive.”…

Soon after LeBron James took his talents to South Beach, I was watching a youtube clip of “The Decision” when I saw that someone had transcribed this scene from “A Bronx Tale” and posted it in the comments section except instead of Mickey Mantle and the New York Yankees, he substituted LeBron James and the…

I was recently trying to explain to a friend exactly how amazing Noreabang (pronounced NO-REE-BHAANG) is when he said to me “Yeah, I went to Karaoke night at this pl-” SHUT UP. Don’t even compare the holy grail, the sweetest heaven that is noreabang to your stupid thursday night at T.G.I Friday’s. Noreabang is a…

I can’t get enough live music clips. These are performances from the stage, a record store, a prison, a classroom, mtv sweden studios and more. Sam and Dave are incredible in this performance of “Hold On, I’m Coming” on their 1966 Stax European tour. Along with Otis Redding, they toured the Scandinavian lands and more…

I’ve never been a fan of giving people the middle finger while driving. It’s such a cliché. In today’s world, do people even care about a random person in a random car flipping them the bird? Does it even register? It seems to me too easy to ignore. Crap drivers are probably expecting the finger…
