It seems like ever since I quit my job and moved to Brooklyn, my life has improved dramatically! I am phenomenally UN-stuck. My weekends have been filled with adventure, I'm much more open to the new, the odd, and the strange of it all. Get un-blocked, it rocks....

It recent nights, there have been:

A beer pitcher fueled night of bowling at Sunset Park's Melody Lanes... where the gay teens mingle with the Hasidic teens as the 80's rock blares.

Roller Derby championships at uptown City College, watching our girl Bonnie Thunders jam her way to the championships as the Bronx Gridlock squeezed by the Queens of Pain to an action packed victory. Punctuated by the Hungry March Band.

Sanduny Baths USA , a short ride (for me) on my bike to the Mecca of Russian baths in deep Brooklyn - clean, large, oak leaves, steam caps, bikini girls, Russian thugs, chunky Jews and Brighton wives... plus a few first generation Russian hipsters that would make Gary Shteyngart proud.

Uptown Thug Love at "No Parking" Washington Heights' only Blatino gay bar, so many thugs, so little time.

Who Needs Manhattan?
