If you are familiar or has watched the Seinfeld TV series, you probably know the infamous Seinfeld episode of the Soup Nazi. This was an establishment that served the best soup in all of Manhattan. A customer's failure to strictly obey the rules provokes the Soup Nazi to shout "no soup for you" and refuse service. It is a hilarious episode, and Seinfeld is one of my favorite comedies of all time.
I love soup but the sodium content is off the charts. When you eat out, you are at the mercy of the restaurants, and as a rule they add too much salt in their food.
Last night I visited my favorite local Latin restaurant. My mouth was watering thinking about ordering chicken with rice and beans. While I was being served, a homeless person walked in and told the server he wanted a soup.
I could hear them arguing at the counter; the homeless person was .50 cents short to pay for the 1.50 cents soup. No soup for you if you can't pay, said the server. To stop the back and forth bickering, I told the server that I will pay for the soup.
At that moment, in a fit of rage, the homeless guy grabs the soup, threw the hot soup at the server and calmly walked out the door.
Everywhere I look these days is all about Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck divorce rumors. I personally believe the media has been gossiping on a daily basis about their on-again, off-again relationship because it is a way to increase traffic to their website. More clicks/traffic means more revenue.
In the next few days I expect to see lots of headlines about Donald Trump Jr and Kimberly Guilfoyle breaking off their engagement now that there are rumors of him dating another woman.
I don't remember seeing that many headlines when I called off my engagement to Kim Kardashian.😀
It was great to see them enjoying themselves at the motorcycle garage, getting their hands dirty playing with tools. Both of them already have their own set of plastic screwdrivers and hammers, but nothing compares to holding in your hand real tools. The look of joy on their faces when they tried to start one of the scooters, and ride it inside the garage was priceless.
I'll never forget the first time my father taught me how to work in a small AM transistor pocket radio at his radio and TV repair shop. I was about 9-years old. Those are memories I will cherish forever. I sure hope my grandnephews first visit to the motorcycle shop was as memorable as mine was at my father's radio/tv repair shop.
Markenzy Lapointe is a U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Florida, and was born in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. From what I've read so far from Markenzy Lapointe, he came to this country when he was 16 years old with his mother, impoverished.
He graduated from Miami Edison High School in 1987, and then attended Miami Dade College. After graduating from college Lapointe then joined the Marines and served in the first Iraq war in 1990. Graduated from Law School, and served in the US attorney's office before joining a Miami law firm.
Donald Trump numerous times have said this about immigrants specifically from Haiti: "they are poisoning the blood of our country". In my opinion, in this case, Ryan Wesley Routh, the suspected wannabe domestic terrorist, is the man with the poisoned blood in our country.
It is ironic that while Trump disparages anyone from Haiti, a person from that nation is in charge of investigating the person suspected of his assassination attempt.
It is logical that my FB photography page should be removed next. FB pages aren't easy to manage as they were five years ago. And since I am not into it to sell my images, only to share my stuff, I don't see the point of keeping the page.
Instagram and FB pages are becoming a headache; too many trolls, fake accounts promoting stuff and scamming people. Keyboard warriors roam the internet to fight and argue over everything. They are empowered by the anonymity of the internet to deceive, manipulate and vilify others. Allowing them to say things they might not say face to face.
So to regain my sanity, I am deleting a big chunk of my social media footprint. I am signing off from those accounts for good, and taking a temporary social media detox.
The Washington Crossing Park is one of my favorite places to visit, because for many years it hosted a motorcycle vintage event called Gathering of the Nortons. It was held in April at Washington's Crossing State Park, just north of Trenton NJ on the PA side of the river.
Once a year thousands of vintage motorcycle enthusiasts gathered to celebrate all things motorcycle. All bikes were welcome, but especially the Brits - Nortons, Triumphs, Tritons, Royal Enfields, BSAs, Vincents, etc. Good food, good people and if you're interested in old iron, it was an amazing event. Only rule was that you had to ride it in, no trailering.
It is a beautiful park, lots of open space to spend a pleasant day in nature to relieve stress; where people bring their families to relax and forget about life's problems.
