No clean Cleaner

 3 coats. 1 dirty, 2 attacked by lint balls that the best home shaver was no match.  Solution: Dry cleaners.  Surprise, they couldnt remove lint balls either.  Im angry I had to pay them more than I paid for coats and with same lint balls.  Luckily I made peace with poor decision to choose this business before returning to pick up after second cleaning.  I knew there was going to be no reduction in price and I was at their mercy.  I was ready.  I simply greeted, handed credit card and asked for coats.  As I turned to leave the guy asked me to hold on and he then presented me with a lint roller.  Fuck you too.

SUPER HOLLYWOOD BOWL: #SBLIII

is going to be so disappointing if the Patriots should lose.  More Hollywood vs NFL than Patriots vs Rams and this Pack fan cannot underestimate the power of the Institution called Hollywood.  Good Luck, may the for real, for real game of football reign, but betting Rams for the

Auld Lang Syne to Posterity

In so many ways. Figuratively

and literally, hoping the a$$ game is over because I'm exhausted. A Chaucer caravan of characters, both politically and socially, Ass became the new lemming. Politics can be revisited another day but Glutes deserve an answer to it's neo appeal trend. The new 'uses" of butts have both, amazed and horrified me. Yet did not stop my acceptance of the journey to assdom.

 I found both compelling and repelling.  things like workout, crunches, weightlifting, yoga, yoga pants, pants w/built-n butts, butt selfies, butt angles, butt soap, cosmetology,  butt etiquette.  The list goes on. All in quest for the perfect butt. ...and all for what?  Once it's been achieved does it mean the rules have changed or new responsibilities in reaching a certain height (no pun intended) in the butt game?  Are you expected to do some things that a regular butt cant do?  but the intensity of focus and purpose is overrated and surely could be of better use elsewhere. I definitely did not consider the limited options once said ass perfection was achieved? No social media ass pics. No twerking contests or videos, no touching "it", no misuse of it's intended purpose and

Yes Virginia...

 Christmas is a Spirit

Christmas is definitely a spiritual tradition. All it took was a one dollar table-top tree from the dollar store to set it off.  Family scattered, no kids under 18, widowed and maybe one best friend are enough reasons to NOT fall at the seduction from the commercial aspect of Christmas.  However...it's the best freakin Holiday Season ever and with global sharing. This Christmas season was Grinched out by U.S. political scene vs the people and the Globe.  So in spirit of the spirit of Christmas it was going to take more than a cyber Monday and Santa to get the holiday season to honor itself.  And not one to miss the best season of the year, bought a tree. decorated. with lights, prop box and St. Nick. 💃🎄💃 Happy Holidays and looking forward to more Good. Cheers!

U.S. Politics: Stank Ho Party

O.k. ladies, we got another chance to actually embrace the female species for it's quiet fire of infinitesimal fortitude and patience throughout a patriarchal-ish broken-down system. It has failed in building and evolving  positive humaniship and/or societies.    Time to be like 'bros' for once.  As it is clearly evident that we are formidable players in the Leadership game. Let the Bro Bros get some deserved rest.   Time to #Reclaimtime  #reclaimingmytime #Nov6

America's Backbone is Calling

Looks like we'll have to save ourselves.  The U.S. of A is under siege by entertainment.  We, as in "we, the People" have no choice.

It's been an eye opening disaster for all if we are to be judged for our fairness and justice.

A lot of janky things have been done/said by the U.S.  The viewpoints do not begin to represent the "valued" beliefs of many Americans (american way of life) so it's left to the People 

to right the aberration through clear and ponder these points:

• The Apprentice was a hit game show.
• The Boss became President of the top alleged) country in the world. 
• He built casinos.  
• He beat the odds, is privileged and successful businessman.

and basically sitting in a chair of endless responsibilities and expectations

There are people whose life work and passion are being mocked by a dangerous minority who discount the importance in leading a country and it's humanity.

CHECK

As we head

into the finale of  The Apprentice: vs The U.S., I have a couple more questions before I tap that button on November 6th.  Everyone should just circle back to 2014 to see where all went amok.

We learned that with right strategy and a gambler's spirit, anything can be purchased, especially land on he North America continent.  

We've learned that Black lives Matter, Justice is arbitrary and it's very difficult to fire a President of the U.S.

The Russian component certainly added impact to one of best game played yet.  THEY (Russians)are the game Chess.  The President is Mr. Casino. and U.S., the House that lost.  Majorly, shamefully and certainly if only temporary.

The questions first is can I get paid for my contributions for at least this part of a reality show I've been forced into?

Have Pawns ever escaped a check or served a checkmate?

Are law students rethinking their career choice?

Who are the good guys of the Congress?  

To be continued...

Were his lips filled with collagen when he felt like apologizin' ?

Go to Jail!.  ..Like right now. The end? Justice has been served according to the people. Sexual assault is criminal behavior punishable by imprisonment.  True Justice will have been served when the WHAT is more important than the WHO.

Cat Fight on a tight rope

Nicki & Cardi. and thee Barbz and Cardiz.   One performs and writes own songs, one performs and features various writers.  and the last group sits on the fence of judgement:)

We quickly forget Cardi is post-partum with first baby and new marriage. A lot to juggle without the urge to snap and lash out  Usually wrong target at first but a target nevertheless.  They have no reason to dislike each other.  Nicki has to deal with way more bardiz haters then Cardi barbz haters.   Nicki's rep for having beefed with the best in the business shows her consistency to her art. Cardi should feel honored to be in that group. Both are in good places in their careers and there's space for both and more. Both deserve a "me" get away, different locales of course;) 

 The result and resolution would be for Nicki to write Cardi a love song to perform and for Cardi to say thank you and for both to let "them" (fans) fight it out among themselves until they see the silly and  "knock it off" 

Okurrr and Purrr

The #Pinkprint Takers

A friend,  #foundnow (who at this moment is probably working on his mecca to Burning Man ) is also an artist was my intro to Nicki Minaj. by gifting me with a double-sided album and movie release vinyl promo banner.  One side was the film Takers, flip side The Pinkprint.  One of the best art piece I own.  I believe Nicki when she says this campaign to destroy her is from the machine, that the beef is Industrial.  My advice?  Take a vacation. Take care of yourself. You saw what It/They did to Britney, b!tch!  #withlove  #BKLovesMJ!

Random Thoughts

Just realized Erykah Badu, also, has one of the best muse-face for makeup.  Waiting on TheKatvond/Erykah collab. 

Story of O.J.ob

Hopefully at this post everyone has done what one does to relieve high blood pressure courtesy of yeezy,  kanye west, ye or wrath of kan.

If only the Carters would have shown up or if radio play was a a more equitable vehicle for all musicians or if nobody ever really dies. Ironically he has claimed to be a God yet fumbles in his mortal expectations.

Who knew he was so sensitive or his fans and sensitive detractors who responded as if a loved one had betrayed them.

When you think about Kanye's career he seems to have a major asshole moment every 4-5 years.  The most recent was king that hurt and offended many of his most devoted fans.  In retrospect it was more about the unwarranted attack on one's "wokeness".

How dare he!, which he learned quickly in a similar fashion to the classic Story of Job.  despite his contribution to progressive living based on responses, it's actually everyone else not Kanye who are the actual Gods.

Super Bowl LII Win Hacks

1. Thermal insulated warm fashions a must.

Clearly John Madden can't throw a party

It always seem impossible until it's done. - Nelson Mandela. 

Clearly John Madden can't throw a party?

Finally after a lotta lot of years, the Philadelphia Eagles and the die-hard fans and stans made it.  Through the most politically tumultuous NFL season ever to NFC champions and Super Bowl LII, which includes a Legend;)  The City has rightfully lost its collective minds and regardless of finale, it seems when the City of Brotherly love shows up it can be a good time for all.

The only thing to make it better would be Will and Jada showing up.  The Fresh Prince would have to come back to Philly for the big party right?  The Roots, food, art, the largest random group of some of thee coolest, smooth line dancers ever? There's a party going on. The party will continue.

DearJOHN Don:

Mr. Donald J. Trump,  (Big D) ... May I call you Don?  

 Listen, No matter what you do next in your pursuit(s), know you did the damn thing by becoming King of the USA.  Your place in history is cemented as a catalyst of Change.   But here's the real basic thing. The Majority does not believe in your leadership for the Country.  Plus, running businesses(sp) and leading a Nation of people are totally different jobs. And it's a lot of work where you get no thanks.  You're too sensitive for that kind of stuff.  What made President Obama a great leader was his passion for service.  He volunteered for the job, you campaigned.  (And yes I know you won) Very few will ever achieve what you did despite how it was done.  But where to go next.  I don't see you as the type of guy who will continue to take the abuse you must feel.  You're not a boxer. But you are the best damn gambler I know.  And you're an entertainer and funny.  You have a beautiful wife and family (Barron's cool)  Ivanka too, let her be great in fashion.  Think  about the toll on them. 

Art of the deal is not a hereditary trait.  YOU have the skill-set to win big games but NOT lead the USA.  If you truly love the United States of America then do what is best for the country to move forward.  As the savvy business genius you are realize that Resignation is still winning.  Don't do a UsainB Don. 

P.s. I appreciate your simplicity in language.  I don't agree with your take but you're  very translatable across many languages and cultures.

Also thank you for the entertainment your Presidency has provided. Comedians will have material for years and finally some respect for what they do.   How else would we have survived this train wreck?   

With love  -

Long Short: Jared's Story in 15 Parts

As a skimmer who loves to read I can appreciate summarized spins which is perfect for short attention spans.  What follows is a breakdown of  (I really read most of it) Jared Kushner's transcript about his role with the Trump Administration.

1.    My Dad-In-Law and my wife Ivanka thought it would be a good idea to debrief myself for y'all .

2.   I'm a doer, a spoke in the wheelbase of a dream machine. Fake media hates on me  because of my Dad-in-Law but I'm my own Man.  Ivanka tells me that all the time.   So I'm happy you all would love to hear from me or read my endorsement of Me.

3. Before falling in love with Ivanka, my dream career was to create wealth through business investment collaborations. Btw, My heart was in private industry NOT Public Service.  What I'm saying is that,  if Ivanka were not my wife, I probably would not be involved with Public Service, ergo Politics at all. (Ew)

4. My Dad-In-Law had an insane idea and goal to become President of the U.S.A. which eventually would require the support of all family members.

5. The more stuff my Dad-In-In-Law won, the more stuff I had to do from stuffing envelopes to talking to Russian diplomatic contacts.

6. Did I mention I had zero campaign experience? But I'm a goal achiever, see,  so I pulled up the rolodex and made some calls to get answers from incredibly smart people. Goal accomplished!  I wish y'all could've experience this with us. We were amazing in how we pulled off the big Win. It was Bananas! 

7.  ...Blah, blah... My Dad-In-Law was/is the Best. He won fair and square by fusing old processes with new technologies.

8.  When other Countries began to recognize my Dad-In-In-Law's impressive campaign and imminent win, they wanted to schmooze a bit. I became the buffer as my Dad-In-In-Law was way to busy and Ivanka was dealing with the Preggies.  I had so many convos. Some cool, many boring.  My fav was Henry Kissinger.  Hundred of emails were generated on a daily basis. I certainly did not have time to check emails, especially spam.

9.  Based on the feedback of the foreign bosses contacts, I told my Dad-In-In-Law about a great opportunity for his campaign and to be heard, (free) by speaking at an event successfully hosted by a foreign publisher who happened to be Russian.  The host introduced me to  four Ambassadors. One was Russian. I exchanged pleasantries and business cards with all four.

10.  When a news service (foreign ) reported there had been two conversations between myself  and one of the ambassadors within 3 months of the election, Fake news effect latched on and here I am.  I don't recall said convos. And there are no records or proof.  When tasked to authenticate a 'Congrats letter'  from President Putin after the win, I chose to email the Russian publisher event host for name of Russian ambassador he'd introduced.  

11.  Another occasion where I didn't recall meeting with a Russian, is when Donald Trump Jr. sent me a email chain to notify me of a time change of a previous agreed agenda-less meeting.  I was disappointed to walk in on a discussion with a Russian attorney about adoption bans. I was so shook after 10 minutes of that nonsense I texted MY assistant to call me  out of meeting.

12. And the last possible occasion I don't recall any Russian interactions was an email from username "Guccifer400" Extorting 58 bit coins  in exchange to NOT publish my Dad-In-In-Law's income tax returns. The Secret Service team persuaded me to ignore email.

13. Fast forward to November 16. The Russian ambassador requested a meeting in which I expressed the new administration's desire to create fresh relations with foreign governments and asked ambassador for recommends of Putin influencers.  In December, the Russian ambassador,  a Lt. General and I met at our transition office in Trump Towers. At that time the Ambassador shared a concern about the U.S. Syrian policy. He asked if we had a secure line for "Generals" who could not simply come to the U.S. in person to provide valuable information to the new administration.  Either I or the Lt. General assured him we did not.  Because I felt the Syrian issue was important, I asked the ambassador if perhaps, his Embassy had a back door channel in which they could provide information to the General. They said it was not a possibility so we all agreed to revisit the issue after the Inauguration.

14.  A week later the Embassy asked if I could meet with the Ambassador again.  I sent my assistant who reported the ambassador's  request for me to meet with a Russian banker who had a direct relationship with the President Putin and could provide insight on his views towards the new administration.

15. We met for about 20-25 minutes, he gifted me with some art and a bag of dirt. I gave the gifts to my assistant to register with the transition office.  We talked about disappointment with past administration and hope for the new one.  That was it.  P.s. the omissions on my security clearance form were due to the manic pace of the campaign and ultimately the unexpected win.  The omissions were promptly submitted later. God Bless America.

U.S. Leadership by Default: Matriarchal Firsts

Just like that. Overnight. It's no longer a race between two candidates or two political parties. For the first time in U.S. history, the office of the President has a Woman poised for the most powerful seat and greatest responsibility to lead the Nation.  Sure we're still entertaining the Trump & camp antics, and we have turned a political corner in this race to find Women have arrived,  be it least expected.
