Socialism, hypnotism, patriotism, materialism

 Fools making laws for the breaking of jaws

And the sound of the keys as they clink
But there’s no time to think (Dylan)

every now and again watching the news pays sweet dividends......this morning i caught a delicious story  on the hypocritical left, although that certainly wasn't the intent of wcbs.......apparently there have been wild parties in Washington Square Park on weekends.....thousands of animales jumping, dancing and swimming in the fountain.......garbage and debris everywhere...long after the park is supposed to close at midnight.....one video showed a few hundred people jumping up and down on the hoods of a dozen or so cars that were parked on the street.......oh well, personal property damaged.......quality of life up in flames.....this is what the left has imposed on the rest of the city and so it;s only fair that the chickens come home to roost in the heart of Greenwhich Village.......but ....wait for it....here comes the hypocrisy...local residents and community leaders were interviewed, and GUESS what they want ? ? MORE POLICE !!  wtf......why not practice what you preach.....why not talk to the revelers and explain that you live nearby and are trying to sleep.....explain to these misunderstood kids that the park closes at midnight and it's not cool to stomp on the hood of someone elses vehicle ....and if someone seems particularly strange or disturbed....offer to call in a social worker...........wasn't that the guidance from the left during the DEFUND the POLICE movement ? oh yes it was.......but just like with everything else.....the liberal is happy to tell you how to live a better life, but don't dare hold them to these same standards.......like John Kerry Flying around the globe in a private jet to lecture on global warming and carbon footprints......i hope the parties continue , and grow bigger, louder and more violent ......and i hope the Cops just shrug and look the other way.

incidentally.....yesterday was the poet Bob Dylans 80th Birthday........that is one of the great perks of living through this miserable age of earth.

No time to choose when the truth must die

No time to lose or say goodbye

No time to prepare for the victim that’s there

No time to suffer or blink

And no time to think

Hey mister spaceman

 Don Jr tweeted that his Dad knows a lot more than he has said publicly about space aliens and he may have a press conference a few days before June 14 to break the story first.......apparently they have recovered a dozen bodies / creatures that seemed to die or go dormant upon entering our atmosphere..... they don’t know planets of origin but they are still dissecting them  at a remote VA hospital somewhere....... and then my mushrooms wore off and I was back at square one 

30 years went faster

 30 years ago today I visited the Pimlico racetrack for the first time.......after watching STRIKE the GOLD win the derby in Cobblestones and collecting a handsome payout, we decided it was the right move to drive down to Baltimore and double down. Myself and Rocco Deprizio caught a ride with my friend Angelo and his cousin Frankie.......we left Brooklyn at 7:00 am......stopped for breakfast and still got to Pimlico before 10:00.......parked on some shines lawn for $5 and dragged our two coolers of beer onto the infield.......we formed a 4 man circle and claimed a patch of grass and settled in for a long , hot day in the sun........A Rock Band playing in the pit between races.....7 colleges in a 10 mile radius around the track and vodka lemonades as the official drink ( black eyed Susan’s) made for quite the ambiance......around 4:00 they started coed Chicken Fights and quite a few bikini tops were lost in the scuffle.... and through it all we stood our ground amongst the 93,000 maniacs in attendance........I was 26 back then , fresh out of the Navy and in great Drinking shape, but by post time these college kids made me feel like an old man.....8 hours of pounding beer and occasional vodkas in the sun can do that to ya.......Hansel ended up winning and I gave back everything I had won two weeks prior, but it was an incredible day.....3 weeks later I was on the Pete Johnson Belmont trip and that’s a story for another day.......... I sit here this afternoon in the safety of my yard and drink my beer and tell stories to my dog...... I sent it in on Concert Tour boxed with Midnight Bourbon..... but as I reflect on the places I’ve been..... I thank the good lord for watching over me.

10 years went fast

 in what would later become known as the Cinco De Mayo Massacre.......Me, Donn and Brian Duffy would emerge virtually unscathed from a twisted pile of steel and glass on the onramp to the Grand Central Parkway......Donnie took the brunt of the impact, sitting upfront as our driver collided Head on with another vehicle doing 50 mph.........Duff and I in the back seat were thrown face first into the plastic partition......after emerging from the vehicle i thought i had suffered a concussion and blurred vision......until we realized that my eyeglasses had been thrown from my face and were still in the wreckage.....Donnie retrieved them and there was a great celebration when i put them on and could see again.....Duff had a split lip and a gash on his leg, and when the FDNY showed up they tried to first persuade us to go to the Hospital...we said NO....it's Cinco de Mayo.....they then tried to separate Duff from the 2 maniacs he was with and drive him back to the Firehouse....he said NO...... ..as we hailed another cab we heard that they needed the JAWS of Life to get our driver out of the car.......a short time later we found ourselves in midtown Manhattan , definitely dazed and confused.we went into a bar and were immediately seperated from each other.........i walked to Penn Station and remember going to Taco Bell for a few burrittos and and a few bottles of Corona for the train home.....Duff managed to find a Bus to take him home to Staten Island......and Donnie stayed in a bar in Midtown by himself for a few more hours......he called me on my cell as my train was approaching Redbank to ask me where i was.......a good 2 hours since i had last seen him.....he thought i was still in the bar.......earlier in the Day we watched the Mets beat the Giants from the Pepsi Porch......Dano, Kevin Carney, Pat Garry and maybe Jimmy Holland were there....but everyone else took either the LIRR or 7 Train back to NYC....we HAD to go to Mcfaddens for a few cold ones and then hailed a town car that was outside for a quick $20 ride to midtown....or so we thought........the next few days were a true blurr......Donn and i watched the Derby in my yard and we both were still out of it......I went to Dr Mulholland on Monday ad he confirmed my concussion....he asked me when the accident occured and i said with a straight face ( not trying to be funny ) "Cinco de Mayo"......he wasn't amused and checked his calender.......on Wedsnesday Donn went to Dr Mulholland and told a similar tale of a car accident....when asked when the accident occured donn said without hesitation. " Cinco De Mayo"........i don't think Mulholland has been the same since....This was all on May 5th 2011.
