This coming week, I’m gonna WILLINGLY get back on the liquid fast that I was on a few months ago. While it was somewhat torturous the first time, I really appreciated what it felt like to be “cleansed” from within. So I’m hittin it again this week. No food. All liquids. I have no fewer than 5 friends who are joining me on this life changing voyage this week. While the thought of not eating solid food for a week seems ridiculous, I really highly recommend it. Its not only a physical rejuvination, but also a mental one. There are many places that offer the service but Organic Avenue located in the LES is the best in my opinion and they deliver to you as well. They make it super easy, because to be quite honest, anything that makes this even slightly inconvenient will make it impossible for you to get thru the entire week. So for this weekend of “last suppers”, I tried to get out as much as possible.
Microsoft Surface held a little demonstration at the Sheraton Hotel on Saturday. I got to play with it first hand. My opinion? Don’t believe the hype. From the videos I saw, I thought this was the equivalent to a table sized iPhone. No, no, and no. This is some hokey, sideshow trick. Its basically 5 cameras tucked under a table “looking” and “reacting” to your movements. That ain’t dope. You might as well put a little person in there and have him do the same thing. Because of the cameras, they can never do this as a flat screen. The iPhone screen is true finger sensitive technology. Not a bunch of cameras looking at your movements. Also, if this takes off, chronic back fatigue will be the new carpal tunnel syndrome. You have to be constantly hunched over when using this. This will never replace the mouse and keyboard. Who the fuck wants to wave their arms around at work for 8 hrs a day? Everyone in the future is gonna have huge biceps and triceps.
Earlier I was given the opportunity to sit down with Maze from Kix And The City.com and talk about some of the finer points in this sneaker game—both from a consumer mindset, and as a business owner. It was pretty cool. You can peep the video play by play. Maze is also the offical reporter for the NRF Basketball League. You should read his insightful reports week after week. The NRF Playoffs have just begun and I am happy to say my team, (Team Terminators) have the best record in the league and just advanced to the second round of the playoffs. Oh and did I mention that the NRF finals will be played at Madison Square Garden? We do not mess around. (holla at Parks and JU! We’re ready when y’all are.)
My old childhood friend from New Jersey, Navin, had his 30th birthday. His big brother Neal just had a baby and #2 is already on the way. I build brands. He builds humans. Go figure.
I also just rec’d a pair of these Tretorn Sailing Shoes. They are very nice and have some great details (the entire outer is made from recycled sailing masts)…but I have to give the comfort factor a thumbs down. I’ll wear some pretty uncomfortable shoes if it looks tight, but these almost go beyond the call of duty.
I want huge arms and biceps. So what you’re saying is, this is an exercising machine. Got-it.
what a coincidence. every time you do the liquid fast, it seems like I do it the same time. i just came off mines and am relieved to feel fresh. good luck with it.
