Gotta take a tour for myself

Yes, I travel a lot.

You would too if your heart was as ravaged as mine.

You would too if you couldn’t land in your home city without longing.

Now, I officially have something to look forward to….MONDRIAN South Beach.

Since I have a once a month trip to Miami for the next several months or so, I have to figure out things to do on those down moments.

Marcel Wonders, who is on the cover of Fast Company this month is killing it with this place. Check out the photos here.

Expect some of my own photos next week.

Magic made us

I believe in the power of design, the magic of colors, shapes, curves and light. I believe that there is something amazing in design. I just got off a 6 hour flight after leaving a meeting at IDEO and there is nothing short of magic occurring there.

I get home tonight, open my computer to check out my favorite sights to brighten my day and I get another reminder of this magic. This amazing, amazing world through the eyes of craig shields lit my night up.

Going to take some time to myself and take it all in. Now, get to filling yourself up with inspiration here.

When they say the Rich, get Richer – who did you think they were talking about

No this is not a nightmare; I know this cause the sun is out.  Yes you are about to lose the (1) house you have. Yes the Bush administration’s proposed bailout plan. Or as we call it the ”holy shit how many Billion plan!” Is not for or even about you. Money only wants to hang it with money.  When money hangs out with non-money- Money don’t have any fun, and of course, what’s the point in that? The Men behind the bailout plan, work very long hours to afford a lifestyle where they don’t have to see people like you. Or me, and often times, the very people who know/knew them best. Cause when you are fu!@#$ng the sheep, you don’t want to see it’s eyes – (At least we assume this here a sweep the leg).

Rich is an adjective, from Possessing great material wealth too highly amusing its definition varies, but what it isn’t is whorish.  Rich does not just hang out and chill, it looks for it’s mate- where it is comfortable, where it can perform. 

Ever wonder why Jesus wasn’t “rich” in the monetary sense? Cause if he was, He (Jesus) wouldn’t have done a darn thing. He would not have help heal the sick, (health Care), or calm the storm  (Environment), or feed the five thousand (Hunger), or yes- change water into wine (no clue on this one). 

Wait a minute we were wrong this is a nightmare;  An event or experience that is intensely distressing. 

And yes the sun is out.

When they say the Rich, get Richer…      who do you think were talking about.

A billion here, a billion there – pretty soon it adds up to real money!

Everett Dirkson pretty much sums up the current financial crisis facing the American Way. Yet there is one thing that he has wrong.  It isn’t “real” money. 700 Billion dollars to the average red, white, and blue, is as relate-able as the lyric: Teddy Pender-grass cooler than Freddie Jackson Sippin a milkshake in a snowstorm’ (Hun)?

The fact is, in this country we have an unlimited supply of greenbacks when to comes to one thing “FEAR”. Yet when it comes to it’s opposites- say Hope, Love, Compassion or Respect, then big ATM machine on Government Street says Funds not Available.

Americans, we –are -what – we- are, we do have big hearts, and for that we should be proud, and Hopeful, and Loving, and Compassionate, and Respectful. If we continue to run away from these truths we hold, but do not display. It will not be Billions of dollars, of which we lose- but Billions of souls. 

Face the fear – don’t fear the Face,

Amex wants to take a dump on your self-esteem.

Have you seen one of the latest commercial airing from Credit Card Company American Express?

Here is how it plays: A business lunch meeting of some sort is taking place, and when the check arrives the American chap at the table, pulls out his “credit card” to pay for the entire meal, however since the credit card he owns has a design featuring a comic book character of some sort, the 3 German persons with who the lunch is taking place begin to mock the card holder and the card.  Okay, we have to STOP right here! First let us say, A total lack of class on your part Amex. Your AD Agency has done the one thing you should never let anyone do to your brand, – Make us Hate You!  I know Germans, my wife lived there, and it didn’t matter if I pulled out a credit card, or an rusty peso, wrapped in bacon and dog shit, a free meal is a free meal, and my German friends would never talk shit about me – in my face no less. Germans should really be pissed @ you guys for portraying them as pompous, mean spirited, free loaders. Also what’s up with the “hungry” looking back stabbing friend, who somehow realizes that she rolls with a guy who carries an omg VISA/ MASTERCARD. Oh yeah, Like she has a choice- we at Sweep da leg have a commercial idea of our own. We open with a group of diners wrapping up a dinner meeting, the check arrives, the sheepish American pulls out his non American express card lets call it a “sweep da leg card”. On its design is a woodpecker taking a piss on a spinach field, which will be later shipped to my state of California?  So the 4 Ugandans seated at the table begin to speak anti-American slurs and jokes toward the sheepish American, who calmly leaves the table walks out of the restaurant and across the street to the neighborhood gun store he buy’s a shotgun and ammo, due the fact that the store accepts “the sweep da leg card”, but guess what -not take American express. The American walks out of the gun store back across the street and into the restaurant, well he calmly busts a cap in the 4 Ugandans ass! Creative no and neither are you. Kenneth Chenault (CEO American Express) we admire you @Sweep da leg, but do us a favor holla at Seinfeld or De Niro - We can only dream, on what they would do to those Germans.

SWEEP IT- but you have to pay the entire bill when the statement comes.

Walking the badassedness bridge of love

Since I’ve been living in heartbreak hotel for the last three months, I tend to steer clear of any talk of love. Yes, I may wear pink but you won’t see me watching any love flicks or listening to romantic music or buying roses.

BUT…. I may have to move to Taiwan, at least visit out there for one reason… The Love River Bridge.

During the day, you wouldn’t be able to really take in it’s badassedness but at night, you can stroll enclosed by hearts.

Now, I may be heartbroken but there is no way you can’t walk this bridge without turning. May have to buy some special kicks.

Gotta go book my ticket right away!

If We Trust Black Body Guards To keep Us Safe, Why Not Barack?

 

Did you see Casey Anthony, the Florida “mom” suspected in the disappearance of her 3-year-old daughter being released from the Orange County Fl Jail.

She is wearing the ubiquitous T-shirt ”Where Is Caylee?” which has a picture and a telephone number on it – “We thinks Casey should call that numbera ha-self ”.  So Casey keeps her head down, thankfully, we aren’t able to see that - ”he-he I’m on TV, I’m somebody”, – smirk she often times displays.

Today my Friends we are not Sweeping Casey Anthony. No today we must speak  on the significance, or maybe lack of, the two AFRICAN AMERICAN bodyguards dressed in Noir whom escorted her through a crowd and into the kuro Dodge SUV and sped away.  

First a note on where I grew up, In my neighborhood on matters of national security, or as we called it “throwing dem bows” , there was one motto- “Fight the big dude first”. Now if you, were like me, and you simply looked  at my cousin- the one  who said this and said, “Greg, stop sniffing the liquid paper it’s making you crazy”. It did, but not from the white out, my cousin was from the Bushwick Bill school of thought. SIZE AIN’T SHIT!

When a real man really wants to get into your Ass- he will.

If not he is just acting.

Here in Los Angeles I see it every day- hell I know a few AFRICAN AMERICAN. & Samoan & Chicago Brothers who do the body thing.  Yet they will be the first to tell you Diplomacy is the strongest weapon they have. Yes they could walk around and toss their muscle around – but that will only take you into the fight, it wont stop the ensuring altercation, and it Damn sure wont ensure you a victory. (Pay Attention Frat Boy Government?) Being Big and Black will not keep you safe, neither will being Big and Red White and Blue.

 WE REPEAT: When a real man (the 911 Actual Hijackers) really wants to get into your Ass- he will.  If not (Saddam Hussein) he is just acting, and he will run and hide. Barack Obama knows this- like he say’s “I’m from the south side of Chicago”. – Where everybody be cousins.

Go Away Gonad- The who’s who of Public Pubic. Introducing: Charles Krauthammer

 

Yes he’s a Pulitzer Prize-winning syndicated columnist and commentator and most importantly he’s a dick.  This Fox News commentator when offering his take on why America is having difficult Economic ties, Listed among the sources as Allen Greenspan, the maintaining of low interest rates, AND.. (Wait for it. here it comes) Black People!.  The following is the text from this “pundick” oops! We Mean  Pundit.  

CHARLES KRAUTHAMMER, SYNDICATED COLUMNIST: ”Look, given the fact that Obama is blaming it on Republicans and Bush policy, I’m heartened that McCain is joining in the mindless populism, blaming it on Wall Street greed. What does he think happens on Wall Street?”

“The causes of this are not obscure, and there are several of them. One of them is that the Federal Reserve under Alan Greenspan kept the punch bowl open for a long time with low interest rates after 9/11, which led to a wild borrowing spree of Wall Street and Main Street.

Secondly, for two decades you’ve had Republicans and Democrats in the presidency and also in Congress who pushed to expand lending for housing to people who hadn’t had it before, particularly African-Americans, who had been denied it because of discrimination and racism, and encouraged sub prime loans, which in the end collapsed in a fury and in a wave.”

Yeah that’s right Charley, Merrill lynch, Country Wide, and Lehman Brothers, grew into multi-billion dollar institutions, “cause for the past 20 years- they had all this sweet love for black folks, and would rather Make all that loot, by making home loans of $80,000 to “Ray Ray Abdul Jenkins” and “Maudette lee Brown” and, not by offering Products & Services such as such as the U.S. Euro, and Global indices, or Algorithmic trading strategies. Yeah Merrill Lynch saw the future, and it said “Loan Mr. Black Man, $250,000. Make his payments $2,600.00 for the first 12 months, then gaffle his ass for 8,000.00 a month after that. That’s where these Guys make all that Green. (Forget about those silly things like: Global Wealth Management Advice & Market Intelligence, Professional Money Management, Investments, Wealth Protection, and Cross-border Solutions.

NOTE* Merrill Lynch has stated it’s total client assets of approximately $1.6 trillion).

Charles Krauthammer, Today in this life, YOU ARE A DICK! Don’t try to retort, or send us some bull S!@#T on a Letterhead. Just Apologize. SAVE A FREAKING TREE!  Admit that you are a pompous, hack, and explain why in your “Intelligent Design” we have something like you. You Have Pissed us off, and now we are calling you OUT!
