just watch me pee

May8

so…

only a man can fully appreciate this post.

I have never had a problem peeing in public on an open camp fire.

they call me trinityhave you ever seen the movie, They Call Me Trinity? I think it was one of my Dad’s favorite films. it’s a genuine Italian “spaghetti western”, that starred an impossibly handsome and gifted comedic Terrence Hill as our favored protagonist, “Trinity”. the lesser know sequel was My Name Is Nobody. that also starred Henry Fonda, (my favorite Fonda movie remains, belly laugher. the room always lit-up for me when he laughed.

I don’t think Dad stopped laughing from the opening credits to the very end. and, the retelling of numerous Trinity scenes made cocktail parties at our house(s) worth looking forward to.

in any event, there was a scene in a public latrine where Trinity faces-off with a hapless fellow, face-to-face over urinals. that seen left a lasting impression on me for countless reasons.

this past weekend I had my Emma Jo and our hearty-and-ferocious U13 Shockers Nation soccer team at a Select tournament in Duluth preparing for the State Cup May 11th and 12th. we were warming-up for a match and I had something of a run-in with the other teams head coach. he wanted us to change our jerseys and there really was no point. he was just trying to get into our heads. the simple fact is, he was being a DICK.

brian patrick corkabout ten minutes before the match I found myself heading towards the public restroom only steps behind him. he approached a urinal first and paused. I strode right up to the urinal next to him, looked right at him and instantly unleashed a manful and thundering effort, staring at him for a delightful thirty seconds. the entire time he could produce nothing. as I prepared to make my triumphant and testosterone enhanced departure, I slapped him heartily on the shoulder (whoopsee) and offered a well-meant, “good luck coach”.

I know all of this is mean-spirited. but, he was a DICK.

we are ready! wish us luck at State Cup!

peace be to my Brothers and sisters.

LIVE in philanthropy

May1

my buddy (actually, he is a friend; there is probably a difference that could make for its own blog post) Victor shared the following story with me. he has a great many interests, and likely qualifies as something of an, “everyman”. read the article, here: http://www.forbes.com/pictures/eejk45ejjid/cityspire-penthouse-new-york-ny/

$100M homesso… the house I just moved my family into MIGHT be worth $700k. But, I would never pay that much, for anything.

I can’t even get my head around $100M and the sort of person that might care about such things. if I had that much spare cash there would not be a kid in school without reading glasses or shoes.

peace be to my Brothers and Sisters.

love evolves Not

April30

every now and then, usually back during some when, words are written that so bluntly true, powerful and elegant that they stand alone. until someone lesser, such as myself, feels like they must add to them, as I have.

“When love is suppressed, hate takes it’s place” – Havelock Ellis

in any event, once you start rolling the above quote through you head, you will begin to come up with countless example.

peace be to my Brothers and Sisters.

run a mile in my STYLE

April16

the new Reebok ATV19+ shoes are sick! http://lnkd.in/8JfBTH

I don’t care if they re actually appropriate for running, anywhere.

I’ve already ordered two pair! the blue and the red (ish).

they have got to be awesome with Lacrosse shorts.

reebok atv19+Reebok reveals an ambitious new shoe with the help of UFC star Rampage Jackson.

he’s funny.

this shoe evidently derives its name and inspiration from an All Terrain Vehicle. …duh.

the ATV 19+ features 19 irregular lugs, rugged overlays, a padded tongue, and supportive collar. these elements are designed to enable unhindered training in mud, snow, grass and sand. I absolutely plan to test them out realtime. oddly, I’m curious to see how their unique characteristics play-out on the Lacrosse field. probably badly. while the runner certainly takes its name and its function very seriously, Reebok will certainly have its work cut out for itself in order to sway athletes who are increasingly indecisive about whether less is more or more is more in terms of their runners.atv19+

but, I DONT CARE. they are wicked-cool, especially if you like crazy shit; and, I do.

I’m already in hot-water with Nike for sporting Montrails and Warrior kicks. for perspective consider:

What’s All This About?

"What am I looking at?", you might wonder.

Lots of stuff.

Meanwhile, here, I discuss events, people and things in our world - and, my (hardly simplistic, albeit inarticulate) views around them.

You'll also learn things about, well, things, like people you need to know about, and information about companies you can't find anywhere else.

So, while I harangue the public in my not so gentle way, you will discover that I am fascinated by all things arcane, curious about those whom appear religious, love music, dabble in politics, loathe the media, value education, still think I am an athlete, and might offer a recipe.

All the while, striving mightily, and daily, to remain a prudent and optimistic gentleman - and, authentic.
