memorial mama
howdy dears
happy post memorial day
hope yours was peaceful
as for moi
well there have been a whole lotta
sailors in town
and no that does not turn me on
but it does make me think about
war
which
certainly does not seem to be ending anytime soon
but i wont bring you down dears
its sunny and nice out
lets not dwell on the billions of dollars
and endless death in iraq
let's not dwell on sadness
today
lets pick a flower
and give it a stranger
and then
fart in an envelope and mail it to george bush

i love the riches on fx
and love the tudors on showtime
what are your addictions
i want to know really
i do

president rudy
having lived in all of guiliani's tenor as mayor of nyc
i have some idea of what it might be like where he to become president
and yes i know its doubtlful but
just for fun
here is what i think would happen
if Rudy were pres
all sex stores and titty bars
across the nation would be moved to alaska
and or cleveland
if americans decided to travel to one of these destinations
for a lap dance or a dildo
they would need to sign a few forms for the patriot act
and have their finger prints taken
lap dances for republican elected officials would be permitted in new jersey
but only by american born strippers
most mom and pop coffee shops across the country would be replaced by a nation wide deal with Starbucks.. in the deep south
the pecan-accino would emerge knocking out all competition
and would be served with a complimentary selection of fire works
Disney would take over the design of nations highways
and the welcome stations to most states would be done
by mickey mouse
the come-over would become the official american hair cut
the first strike law would go into effect
as first time criminals such as shop lifters
and um
jay walkers
would get life sentences
crime would be down across country by 80%
the federal libraries would be run
by barnes and noble
and most folks
would think that the nice
clean
safe america
felt pretty damn good
those who didn't
would keep their damn mouths shut

stuff
well love bugs
summer is surely here
and i know this
because
well cause im sweating down the crack of my butt
like a freak
t'aint i romantic
been a busy social butterfly of late
catching up with pals
spending time with family
and
taking my inner child out for a stroll
in the nice evening air
tis all part of my new rossi
positive thinking
feel the joy
approach to life
and ill rub some off on you if you like
but since i am still
of course
a bitch from hell
i did not want you to worry that i'd become too nice
so i shall vent
just a bit
here i go
i feel genuinely annoyed that more people voted for american idol
then voted for president
i feel rather pissed off that there are still yahoos
out there who don't believe global warming exists
where we out building the ark right now
these would be the reincarnation of the folks who still laughed at noah
even when they were ankle deep in water
i feel a tad PISSED
that the cost of my monthly health insurance
is now officially higher then the average cost of rent across this country
but then
i should also thank the lord that i have health insurance unlike most of the folks i know
and mostly
i am royally pissed off
that gay marriage is even an issue
anymore
i had two pals legally married in canada
who were treated as far less then a married couple when they came thru here
and hell
its just embarassing to have canada be far more hip then we are
lets get with it already

nostalgia
hey kids
im feeling nostalgic today
for the jewish immigrant lower east side of my childhood
gone is the beloved ratners with its 80 year old perpetually mean waiters
the parking lot of ratners is now giving birth to a huge blue glass skyscraper of luxury condos
long gone is bernsteins on essex the great kosher chinese joint
gone and the pushcart vendors
but now even the bowery is gone
well its stil the bowery but the flophouses and many a restaurant wholesaler has given way to condos and even a giant whole foods superstore
dont get me wrong honeys
i like that the heroin
and the gangs
and the filth
and the muggers are gone
but couldnt the mom and pops stores
and neighborhood vibe
and glorious edge be preserved
must crime and poverty always be the glue that keeps
ethnic hoods ethnic?
and why is chinatown the only ethnic hood in nyc that is not shrinking
but is actually growing?
ah well
much like the artists
great ethnic hoods
are pushed out
once moolah rushes in
i dont miss the dealers on my alphabet city block
and i love not needing to carry pepper spray
but i sure do miss
little eukrania
little poland
and all the punk rockers
had family in town this weekend
and i wound up taking them to kosher restaurants on the
upper east side
used to be
i never went up there
so stuck up i said
so old money
now
well now
its cleaner
but not a whole hell of a lotta different than much of manhattan
manhattan is truly becoming the emerald city
only the very rich and very poor shall live here
the poor in projects
the rich in condos
the middle must move
such is life
Tuesday, May 8

well kids
im getting ready for my fabu big ass art show opening this thursday

lots of great feedback
and as for moi
well im showing a whole series of embryo paintings
not sure whether this is a mid life crisis
or maternal clock alarm or that im in my own womb as i reformulate my life plan
but tis all
good
art is the best way to purse meshuganah
much better then drugs
or sex with minors
i always say
how do you purge
i wanna know
really
Thursday, May 3
nice day
well kids
the sun is out
and its time to start shaving
all the appropriate areas again
summer is just round the bend
for me
well i just feel energized
and jump started when the sun comes pouring its goodness all over us
im a leo sun and beach a holic after all
can not shake my double vision 70s rock roots
on the beaches of the jersey shore
for you all
well i hope you are enjoying some warmth and some goodness
trying not to work to hard
and stopping to smell the
