My love wants to have her fortune read, and I know that she´s in a hurry.
Today I had a glorious day in Buenos Aires.
I went to this quaint little flea market in the French square.
It was all wonderfully bohemian with tons of hippie-esque knick-knacks.
Literally everything I saw was something that easily could've been sported by Anita Pallenberg in Performance.
After lusting after every little piece of merchandise, I walked by this crowd of gorgeous shirtless men and gypsy-like women who were walking across a tightrope and trapezing in the trees. A group of rowdy (and very drunk) musicians weren't far behind them. To the left of the circus crowd were stoners sitting in a circle passing around one of the gorgeously painted pipes that I saw for sale.
It was all so carefree and something that I had only pictured from lyrics of songs.
Once we get our apartment in Buenos Aires, my sister and I agreed that we would visit the flea market every weekend. Luckily, its all very nearby.
When we drove away from the flea market, I had mixed emotions. I was happy that I had found similar souls in a country I had just about become disenchanted with. But I was also sad. Sad because even though I felt a kinship with them, I still couldn't communicate with them.
Though, it is thrilling to consider that there are probably many bohemian meccas throughout the world. I cannot wait to see them all.

Wig out: No 1
Neil you fuckin' dick, I'm way better at blogging that I am at life, though mostly because I haven't blogged. That's about to change though, and I aim to become equally terrible at both.
I'm gonna try to find for the blog, on a semi-regular basis, video of people losing their cool, or wigging out, as it were.
I've been watching this one a lot over the past few weeks:
Highights include spin-around phone toss; apologizing for smoking a reporter in the face (0:54), who can then be seen leaving the room bleeding; using the phrase "Put that in your fuckin' pipe and smoke it!" (which needs to be used more, imho); and most importantly: it was his own office. What a guy!
Also,here's nice song:
Peter Richard - Walking in the Neon
There Neil, I posted. Now, put that in your fuckin' pipe and smoke it!

Beards
are amazi ng.
The other day, my mother and I drove past this homel ess man on this stree t.
I adore d him for the follo wing reaso ns:
a) His sign was not askin g for money , or any sort of assis tance . He simpl y state d " Jesus saves ."
b) He had a pheno menal beard .
My mothe r said, " He's sweet , but he needs a razor ."
To which I repli ed, "No! His beard is gorge ous."
And she said, " You' re into shit like that." I am!
A few famou s beard s:
We' re the Band and we have the coole st colle ction of beard s.
Up close and perso nal with the beard .
Robbi e Rober tson looki ng like a Beatl e, and of cours e rocki ng a beard .
Forever rocking the beard.
I must admit , David Gilmo ur does not even come close to the Band' s beard s. He just makes a bit of scruf f look sexy, and that in itsel f is a nice feat. ( Also, an amazi ng assor tment of tee shirt s, which of cours e you canno t see here.)
Georg e Harri son defin itely wins for man with the most inter estin g beard . My favor ite homel ess- looki ng defin itely - not- homel ess man to ever exist . Thoug h, his best solo work came from his pseud o- homel ess era. Maybe its a creat ive thing ?
In the early 70' s, Jimmy Page rocke d a mean beard . I just about find this beard sexy. All of Zeppe lin went throu gh a beard phase , but most ended up looki ng ridic ulous . Excep t John Bonha m.
Denni s Wilso n. Dennis went from being the babyfaced drummer of the Beach Boys, to underrated genius of a solo artist. During that time, he also grew himself a mighty beard.
Graha m Nash doesn 't look too bad with a beard eithe r. The 70's were a fabul ous time for beard s.
Jeff Lynne ! Damn, what a beard . ( Pictu red above with Del Shann on, who coinc ident ally took his own life not too far from where I grew up.) Not only does Jeff Lynne have a swell beard , he has staye d oh so faith ful to it. Like Garth Hudso n, he has hardl y been witho ut a beard . That is a man.
I'm sure I forgo t some real fine beard s, but I certainly covered a lot of ground.
DISCL AIMER : I am in no way encou ragin g any man (or boy) to grow a beard . You' ll proba bly look ridiculous . Do not think for a secon d you even compa re to the above menti oned.
P.S. Googl ing " Georg e Harri son beard " or " Jimmy Page beard " is reall y fun. Try it. Add beard to the end of a name. Prefe rably someo ne with a divin e beard .

BRING THE RAIN
Clocks got yanked back so I guess winter's here. Here on the west coast that means six months of grey skies and piss. Let's celebrate with a rain-related classic and the Beanie Mack hit that sampled it so well.
The Dramatics In The Rain
Beanie Sigel feat. Bun B Purple Rain
