Long day today, was up early like I had to catch a flight. Been too long coming but I finally got some tree time away from the city. Back in Manhattan around lunch so I swung by the office for a bit. My favorite non masseuse Asian was working the deli next door, she had coffee in hand before Im in the door. Shredded some paperwork and fucked off on the internet. Omar can you sign Zito already, pay the frickin kid. Forget the Cy Young award, he gets the non-baseball fan Rhino's seal of approval. How can we go wrong? Rhino you are forbidden from ever speaking Barry Zito's name until we....
a) Sign Him
b) Once and only to say the signing sucked
c) Never again
Figured Id stop by Toys-r-us and pick up some Christmas gifts on the way home. Cop at a crosswalk that obviously thought I was a cop comments about the march on fifth. On my way.
I could tell by the frightened look upon the tourists face (god I fucking hate tourists*) thats it was black. Ill say this, nobody throws a parade in NYC better than the Micks, but nobody marches better than the Blacks. They dont fuck around like the hippies. No halfway bullshit five block circle around union square or hang around in one place singing kumbaya. No clever outfits or banners and definitely no pink. Theres a purpose.
En route I find out it was for Sean Bell, the kid shot in Queens. Two words Al Sharpton. Im two aves away Ill be there in five. I love Sharpton. Theres not a single thing he says that I agree with and I think he is a detriment to the black community, but I just cant get those visions of him ambulence chasing the boroughs in his velour track suit. Yeah I know he was spreading hate, but he was so damn adorable doing it.
Frickin jackass.
In the Bell case Ive got no axe to grind. Im pro-Police but I hate cops. I dont know enough of the facts to be conflicted, but I can only think it tragic that a kid is killed on the eve of his wedding day under a hail of gunfire. He may very well have been guilty for what he was stopped, but fifty shots without any return fire makes me think police incompetency and incompetency makes me think wrong.
This is what I turn into. I took the picture and kept on straight thru the block.
Now were talking, Sharpton never disappoints. I figure theres trouble and anyone that knows me knows I love trouble. Worst case Im walking into a race war --- best case I get to do some looting on Fifth Avenue.
Turns out it was just an innocent garbage disposal turf war fire. Just to let you know the I-ties are still around.
The march? I missed it by two blocks.
Today was a good day.
EE-Aw!!!
*its not so much that I hate tourists exactly, which I do, but rather the
sheer numbers and stupidity of them.

i can't believe i'm saying this, but i think you should be nicer to the rhinoculous.
or is it some kind of dominant/submissive or master/slave thing you have going on here? then, if that's the case, who am i to judge? go at it, as they say.
oh, and i'm with you on the tourist thing. three messages to the Tourist: Do Not Dawdle, Do Not Gawk, Do NOT Get in My Way.
I was mean? You broads are too damn frickin sensitive.
I was just trying to convey that I would very much like the Mets to sign Barry Zito, and I'd prefer if the Rhino did not mush it, as hed be the first to admit he has been known to do.
We work pretty close right? The Times Square/Herald Square area is bad enough during the rest of the year, but at Xmas its just ricockulous.
Package Travel stuff. Devices, reviews, services...
