i upload pictures as i go. and this week. i've seen him passed out thrice. i only have pictures from 2 nights though. he's giving larry a run for his money.
shilla....uhh...there's a big difference between calling the waitress miss che JIE and miss che JI....
normally i'd write a review of the concert i just went to. but i let it all out last night. so the review stays verbal. alongside a deep q&a session about the industry. where when showing off my knowledge of asian popstars i was called a fob. great.
"im going through this spiritual thing with my body right now"
"from the top down?"
everything would be better if it were infused with essence of truffle.
imagine macbooks infused with truffle salt. after typing ur fingers smell and taste like truffle salt.
imagine truffle infused mouthwash.
imagine truffle toilet paper?
imagine.
while we dined. we had a nice convo about squirting. hahaha.
1. we have this new guy in the office...and i said to him..."i hope you can hold your liquor"
2. i had dinner with some undergrads and grads all talking about schools, admissions, post grads etc. which one is better ranked and which one has better program. in the end i just said. just study hard. u know you'll do well. or do as well as the effort you put in. but don't forget about the network. put time into relationships. and be realistic about your goals, wants. top 50 is all the same. it's what you can apply with how hard u study.
im not big on academia or what people can put on paper. academia only gives u a foot in the door. after that. it's results. and relationships. and the drinks. that's the value added.
i had this goal to make my first million by 30.
in my early 20s. i was well on track.
i took too many risks in my mid 20s.
and now i got 6 months till im thirty.
"the first million is the hardest."
and im about to put on a contract/trade to head there or negative
we shall see...
hip hop needs to stick to its roots and get back to raw beats, big booty ho's, flashy cars, bling, waving cash, baggy jeans.
even though the lyrics to this song kills me. i find it so catchy. haha.
i love it. i miss it.
im a big bear. a big fat huge polar bear.
...
now find me a buyer.
we've been having some debate on the marketing budget of a broker...
"there's 3 things u need to do business 1. smarts/hardwork 2. support 3. luck. ur mom is a different breed. doesn't have a business mind set. i give my son $$, even if he were to lose it all. he needs support. he needs the experience. he's a smart boy. he needs to be supported. if he were to slave away at a desk job, u think he'd ever achieve real wealth? he needs my support he needs my money. and i have faith in him. he'll make it. he has made it better. he's increased profits by 400%. ur moms background is different" - s.d.
i woke up this morning and had a thought. "markets are going to be bad. let me just sit back and watch and do nothing" so that was my mindset for the day. i decided to try my luck to install chinese input into my blackberry as a start (a task i'd already spent hours of futility on). fittingly, my install worked on the first try. poignantly, when the bb restarted, everything was wiped out. WHY? I DUNNO. the market could have tanked another bajillion points but it wouldn't have compared to the panic i suffered for 8 hours trying to restore my blackberry back into shape. contacts? emails? applications? blackberry messenger?!@?#?!@. what would i do without my bee bee em!
oh god. it was annoying.
when moms retire and run out of things to do. it poses as nothing but trouble for the son.
"hey alex, let me introduce you to some nice girls"
yep, i got set up on a blind date by a friends mom.
coffee.
but that made me think "what kind of girl is to be seduced by an elderly lady to be set up on a date?"
barring a desperate chika, u'd have to think she had some manners b/c only an obedient person would feel bad to constantly say "no" to an elderly auntie.
so 2 nice people meet.
2 nice people say goodbye.
nice is overrated
nice is boring.
are you guys reading what is going on with thailand?
this whole thaksin saga is unreal.
his power.
his influence.
if it's all true.
he's terrible. and brilliant.
i do believe some corruption is good as long as the greater good is achieved. it gets things done.
let them have their money, as long as the people are taken care of.
whoa.
GOOOOOOOD. I WILL BE BACK!

The Hungry Goat — October 20, 2009
On the Mark
With everyone obsessing over Bill’s Bar & Burger there is a sleeper that is going under the radar that may just be serving the best sliders in New York. It was hard to imagine that something could have been missing from the already cramped restaurant row that is St. Mark’s Place. But with last week’s opening of MARK Burger, it became alarmingly clear that what it was missing—craving, even—was a good, cheap burger (or in this case slider) joint.
The food on the restaurant’s concise ten-item menu, is simple and straightforward, and all the better for it. The meat (a mix of chuck, short rib and sirloin) is ground fresh in-house. The 2oz. Beef Sliders, a great value at $2 a pop, are all dressed with gooey, melted American cheese and slivers of sweet onions that get fried onto the patties as they cook. According to Operating Manager Helah Kehati, traditional toppings such as lettuce and tomato have no place here because they hide the flavor of the burger. It’s a philosophy that myself and other burger connoisseurs can appreciate.
The sliders are in the style of those served at cult-favorite, White Manna in Hackensack, New Jersey. But as Jeff put it, “in the case of White Manna, the student has surpassed the teacher.”
No hyperbole: these sliders are unreal. They’re juicy, cooked to a perfectly consistent medium, and have robust beefy flavor. What’s more, the restaurant offers a trio of homemade sauces: jalapeño-honey, chipotle ketchup, and barbecue—all of which pack a punch.
The Bacon Sliders ($2.75) are MARK Burger’s real innovation. They’ve solved that classic problem of the bacon burger wherein you bite it only to pull out the whole piece. Instead of topping the burger with bacon they pre-broil and mix it in with the meat so that as it cooks the fat releases. The concept is brilliant, but in practice, the bacon flavor is a little subtle and not as pronounced as you would hope.
Also on the offer are crunchy, skin-on, thin-cut fries, shakes (the Guinness shake is made with a syrup reduced from the beer), and homemade individual-sized pies. There is wine, and beer from various microbreweries, and in the winter expect a warm, spiced red wine to make an appearance.
As for the space, the CowParade cow out front and the graffiti mural on the exterior adjacent wall (courtesy of the tattoo artist who works upstairs), should signal that MARK belongs to St. Mark’s Place. And according to Kehati, that’s the goal, to offer back a taste of the authentic, non-corporate, un-froyo side of St. Marks. Considering the great value, cool vibe, and late night hours, MARK Burger should be packed with East Village locals and NYU kids looking for some post-revelry grub in no time.
