I DO NOT UNDERSTAND ANYTHING! PEOPLE, KARMA AND THE UNIVERSE.. NOW THAT MIGHT SEEM LIKE A VERY BROAD STATEMENT. BUT WHEN, A GROUP OF NON VIOLENT PEOPLE, MARCH IN SUPPORT OF THE TIBETIAN PEOPLE, AND THE NEPHEW OF THE DALI LAMA, IS MOWED DOWN LIKE A COMMON BLADE OF GRASS AND KILLED.....I SOMEHOW LOOSE THE CONCEPT, THAT ANYTHING IN THIS UNIVERSE MAKES SENSE. ONE WOULD THINK, THAT DOING THE RIGHT THING TO SUPPORT AN OPPRESED GROUP OF PEOPLE..WOULD SHINE ON THE SPIRITUAL POWERS THAT BE, AND KARMA JUST MIGHT WORK IN THIS SITUATION. THOSE RELIGOUS PEOPLE MIGHT CALL THIS POWER GOD, AND GOD WAS ASLEEP AT THE WHEEL, JUST AS THE DRIVE OF THAT CAR.
SOME MIGHT SAY WE JUST DO NOT UNDERSTAND THE WAY OF THE SUPREME BEING. AND THAT THERE IS A REASON FOR EVERYTHING. AND I SAY UNTO THEM, WITH THE UTMOST RESPECT...
"YOU ARE OUT OF YOUR FRIGGEN MIND"
nOW EGYPTIAN HAS A NEW MILITARY GOVERNMENT..THE CROOK IN POWER ,IS GONE, AND SO IS 30,60 OR 90 MILLION DOLLARS. ANOTHER DICTATORSHIP THAT AMERICAN HAS SUPPORTED AND ENRICHES FOR 30 YEARS....HE RAN AWAY WITH ALL OUR TAX DOLLARS......AND DONT TELL ME NON IN THE GOERNMENT, REGARDLES OF THE POLITICAL PARTIES THEY WERE AFFILIATED WITH NEW HE WAS STEALING. BULLSHIT... I WONDER IF THERE WERE PAYOFFS TOO?
WE WOULD HAVE INVADED EGYPTIAN IF THEY HAD SOMETHING WE WANTED....LIKE OIL. I GUESS WE HAVE ENOUGH MUMMIES IN OUR MUSEUMS AND THEY WERENT ENOUGH CAUSE..TO SEND IN THE TROOPS AND HALLIBURTON. YES, WE NEEDED TO HAVE OUR BASES IN THE MIDEAST AND FRIENDLY COUNTRIES TO LAND IN IF NEED BE. AND YES, THERE WAS A PEACE ACCORD WITH ISRAEL AND EGYPT...AND MAYBE THEY DIDNT WANT TO ROCK THE BOAT.. BUT WAS HE ANY BETTER THAN SADDAM HUSSEIN? THE SWISS BANKS SAID THEY WOULD FREEE HIS ASSESTS. GOOD, IF THAT IS TRUE.....THEN SEND HIS BILLIONS BACK TO US.....IT CERTAINLY IS MONEY HE DIDNT EARN....HOW DID HE EARN IT...SELLING POSTCARDS OF THE PYRAMIDS?
LAST NIGHT JOHN AND I WENT INTO NYC, TO VISIT OUR FREIND RONNIE TWO DOOR...(TUDOR) WHO IS A MERCHANT FOR "ALMOST" FINE ART. WE BOUGHT SEVERAL PAINTINGS, BRONZES AND OTHER INTERESTING DECORATIVE ANTIQUE REPRODUCTIONS...INLCUDING A GREAD BRONZE 30" TALL OF JULIUS CAESAR IN HIS LONG ROBES (SCHMATA.....IN LATIN,) AND A BRONZE OF A NATIVE AMERICAN TRYING TO TRAIN A SMALL BEAR.........AFTER BUYING ALL THE ITEMS, WE WENT INTO A GREAT RESTAURANT TO EAT....I HAVE EATEN THERE SEVERAL TIMES....IT WAS ALMOST NOSTALGIC, NOT BECASUE OF PAST EATING EXPERIENCES THAT WERE GASTRONOMICALLY PLEASANT, BUT THIS STORE USED TO BE AN ANTIQUE STORE THAT WE VISITED.....IN THE 1970S.....FOR MANY YEARS....THE OWNER.....WITH WHOM WE WERE VERY FRIENDLY....DIED..YEARS AGO, DIED, WHILE TALKING WITH JOHN ON THE PHONE!! SAD BUT TRUE.
THE MENU HERE HAD NAMES LIKE PHENOMG PENG BEEF, SAIGON CHICKEN, GULF OF TONKIN SHRIMP.....NAMES AILEN TO ME, REMEMBERING THE DAYS OF THE VIET NAM WAR....ON T HE OTHER SIDE OF THE WORLD, WHERE THE BLOOD AND BOMBS WERE SOMETHING WE IMAGINED AND SAW ON TV, BUT THOUGHT IT REALLY WASNT REAL..... WE NVER KNEW ANY PEOPLE FORM THAT PART OF THE WORLD, AND ASSOCIATED THEM AND THEIR WORDS WITH TERROR ATTACKS ON OUR SOLDIERS....LATER ONLY TO FIND OUT..WE WERE THE REAL TERRORISTS, AND WERE BRAIN WASHED BY OUR GOVERNMENT AND MEDIA (SO WHAT ELSE IS NEW?)....WE LEARNED TO HATE THIS ENEMY AND NOT EVEN UNDERSTAND WHAT THIS WAR WAS ABOUT....IT WASNT REALLY ABOUT THE FEAR OF WORLD DOMINATION OF COMMUNISTS... BUT THE ACQUISITION OF OIL AND DRUGS AND MAKING MONEY FOR BIG BUSINESS......TODAY IN HE MIDEAST, ONLY THE NAMES HAVE CHANGED....THE LIES HAVE CHANGED, THE BUT REASON FOR THIS WAS IS DRUGS, OIL AND MAKING THE MILITARY INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX MORE RICHA ND MORE POWERFUL......AND THE ONE MAIN DIFFERENCE IS THAT SOPHISITICATED WEAPONRY, HAS CUT THE DEATH TOLL IN BATTLE...WE ARE SOMEWHERE CLOSING IN ON 4000 DEATHS (SO THEY TELL US???) WERE IN VIETNAM, IT WAS OVER 54,000.... OF COURSE, DEATHS FROM DISEASE AND INJURY CONTINUE TODAY FROM VIETNAM...AGENT ORANGE DISEASE AND SUICIDE FROM DRUG RELATED CAUSES..CONTINUE... AS DO, THOSE FROM THE PRESENT AND LAST IRAQI WAR.
YES I DO RANT AND RAVE, BUT NOT WITHOUT CAUSE....AND I GO OFF ON TANGENTS....SO BACK TO THE MENU AND FOOD. THE MENU IS A FEW PAGES LONG, THE RESTAURANT IS APPOINTED BEAUTIFULLY, AND JAMMED WITH PEOPLE. THE AROMA IS TANTALYZING. MAKING CHOICES IS VERY DIFFICULT...AND THERE ARE SO MANY SIMILAR DISHES..WITH ONE OR TWO INGREDIENTS THAT MAKE IT SOMETHING SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT. THE PRICES, FOR NYC ARE EXTREMLY FAR....OR JUST DAMN CHEAP, THE PORTIONS ARE LARGE, AND THE FOOD IS VERY GOOD.
JOHN WAS IN VEGETARIAN HEAVEN...WITH A HUGE SALAD, VEGGIETARIAN DUMPLINGS AND VEGGETARIAN CURRY.....A PORTION, THAT TWO PEOPLE COULD HAVE EASILY FILLED THEM SELVES,,AND PROPERLY COOKED BROWN RICE. ON THE TABLE IS A CONTAINER THAT HOUSED THREE DIFFERENT TYPES OF SPICY THINGS...TWO SAUCES...THAT WERE ALMOST MELTING THE GLASS IT WAS WITHIN, AND SLICED CHILLES OF SOME TYPE. JOHN POUR ALL THREE ON HIS FOOD AND SALAD.....AND..I WATCHED SILENTLY...WONDERING WHY IT DIDNT KILL HIM. ONE DROP BURNED MY LIPS...BUT JOHN POURED IT ON, COVERING HIS FOOD...
I HAD AN APPETIZING PLATE...WITH SATE: CHICKEN AND BEEF ON A STICK, BROILED WITH CHOPPED PEANUTS ON IT..AND SERVED WITH A PEANUT SAUCE, TWO DIFFERENT TYPES OF EGG ROLL OR SPRING ROLLS, FILLED WITH STUFF? EXACTLY WHAT IT WAS...WHO KNOWS, MAYBE I DONT WANT TO KNOW....BUT TASTY...AND SOME KIND OF CHOPPED SHRIMP THAT WAS DEEP FREIND AROUND A PIECE OF SUGAR CANE......AND THEN...I HAS A HUGE PLATE OF CHICKEN CURRY WITH A BIT OF CHINESE EGGPLANT FOR EXTRA FLAVOR...IT WASNT SPICEY, AND I DID AD A FEW DROPS OF THE SAUCE THAT WAS TICKLING JOHNS INNARDS. AND OF COURSE, IT WAS SERVED IN A VERTI GRIS HEAVY IRON POT OF GREEN TEA....
WE LEFT RONNIE TWO DOORS AND GOT ONLY A FEW BLOCKS, WHEN THE VIET NAMESE FOOD WAS GETTING REVENGE ON THIS AMERICAN FOR THE ENTIRE WAR. LUCKILY, THERE WAS A PARKING SPOT VERY SHORTLY IN FRONT OF AN ALL NIGHT "DINER" RESTAURANT.....JOHN ORDERED APPLE PIE AND COFFEE AS I WAS ON A RECONNAISANCE MISSION TO FIND THE BATHROOM.
I HAD A CUP OF TEA....THE BILL FOR TWO DRINKS AND PIE WAS 11.00 WOW.. THEY WERENT SHY!!!
THE TRIP BACK WAS A HORROR. GOING INTO THE TUNNEL THERE WAS BUMPER TO BUMPER TRAFFIC THAT WASNT MOVING AT ALL FOR A WHILE. THEN IN NJ, ROUT 17 WAS BUMPER TO BUMPER AND NOT MOVING...TO MAKE A LONG STORY SHORT.. THE HIWAY WAS CLOSED. THEY MADE US GET OFF.....MAKE A RIGHT TURN OVER THE OVERPASS AND THEN WE WERE ON OUR OWN....NO MORE SIGNES...EXCEPT ONE THAT TOOK US BACK TO 17 IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION.!! FRIGGEN IDIOTS... THE HIWAY SHOULD HAVE A SIGN MILES DOWN THE ROAD THAT SAID, "RT 17 CLOSED AT PATERSON PLANK ROAD-mAKE OTHER PLANS" TOOK FOREVER TO GET HOME LAST NIGHT...AND I AM PISSED AT BOTH THE POLICE AND DEPARTMENT OF HIWAYS."
SEX AND POLITICS.. WHY DO THEY SEEM ALWAYS TO GO TOGETHER.. IS IT THAT PEOPLE IN POWER ABOSE THEIR POWER? IS IT THAT PEOPLE WHO STRIDE TO BECOME POWERFUL ALSO HAVE A HIGH SEX DRIVE. OR IS IT THAT BECAUSE THEY HAVE MONEY, THEY ARE ABLE TO AFFORD SEXUAL AFFAIRS. OR IS IT..THAT THE ENTIURE WORLD FOOLS AROUND, AND THE PEOPLE IN HIGH PLACES ARE THE ONES PEOPLE WATCH ...THEREFORE THEY GET CAUGHT/?? who cares!!!
