From Battery Park to Fort Tryon! (But I still haven’t found what I’m looking for)
Lincoln Adams | January 26, 2010 @ 11:35 pmDecided to do a combo of urban caching and hot cocoa sampling in the city on Sunday, starting out at Battery Park and working my way uptown. BooYAH! 
Here’s the thing though, whoever said this was a city that never sleeps was stoking one up. Three of the cafe/chocolate shops I wanted to check out was closed, including Jacques Torres, which have these seriously cool Willy Wonka type machines that you can get your chocolates from. And it was CLOSED. Son of a 
But of course Starbucks was open. 
I hung out at Battery Park enjoying the view of the Statue of Liberty for a while, then worked my way uptown to Tribeca. There was a cache there that takes you from the Tribeca Clock to the firehouse building that was used in the movie Ghostbusters, one of my all-time favorite movies. I hugged the building too, just cuz I like to emote on inanimate objects, and stuff.
Sometimes I think the buildings here show me more affection than the women do. Actually I don’t think it, I KNOW they do. 
After that I decided to get back to my car and take a drive towards Washington Heights for the New Leaf Cafe, stopping along the way at an espresso bar on the Upper West Side that was also on my hot cocoa checklist. By some miracle I got a parking space nearby and went in from there. The bar was called Aroma, and at first glance it seemed like an upscale Panera Bread to me. There were a lot of students inside, coming from I guess either Columbia or John Jay, the only two schools I could think of that were within walking distance.
I ordered my hot chocolate and could not stop admiring this girl who was chatting it up with some metrosexual dude. She… was… GORGEOUS. Tastefully dressed, with long raven black hair and bright hazel looking eyes. Sigh.
I did my best not to gawk, taking in the general scenery instead, and decided that I definitely looked out of place. The students here looked well groomed, wearing fashionable, preppy clothes, while I was sporting a five o’ clock shadow and a Walmart jacket. I was polluting their existence with my very presence, and I felt the weight of that reality come over me like a heavy cloud, so I took my hot chocolate and left, instead enjoying a walk on the streets. I got back in my car again and headed for Fort Tryon, but New Leaf Cafe was closed as well, so I pulled off to the side somewhere to enjoy a view of the GW Bridge.
You know, I really do love the city, but I only wish some of that love was reciprocated for once. Everywhere I walked no one would look at me, and no girl wanted to even acknowledge my presence, much less smile at me. Honestly, if I already had someone in my life I wouldn’t give a rip one way or the other, but I have to deal with this every day, hoping some how, some way, one sweet, pretty looking girl will finally SEE me. But it would never happen.
Instead I walk around the city like a ghost. I sort of exist, but not really.
I wonder how much more of this I can take before I end up doing something really stupid, like surgically attaching myself to some neurotic man-faced freakshow that I met on Craigslist because she/it was the only one who ever paid any attention to me. Seriously, I can feel myself getting thisclose to giving up, throwing my standards and self-esteem out the window and settle for the first thing that comes along, because that’s going to be as good as it gets.
It’s not even a question of IF I wind up doing something like that, but a question of WHEN. The clock is ticking down. Something needs to give… at least until I finally get my mail-order bride catalog.

Why Obama Will Win – Hint: It’s Real Wrath of God Type Stuff
Lincoln Adams | October 2, 2008 @ 12:23 amRemember that scene from Ghostbusters?
Dr. Peter Venkman: This city is headed for a disaster of biblical proportions.
Mayor: What do you mean, “biblical”?
Dr Ray Stantz: What he means is Old Testament, Mr. Mayor, real wrath of God type stuff.
Dr. Peter Venkman: Exactly.
Dr Ray Stantz: Fire and brimstone coming down from the skies! Rivers and seas boiling!
Dr. Egon Spengler: Forty years of darkness! Earthquakes, volcanoes…
Winston Zeddemore: The dead rising from the grave!
Dr. Peter Venkman: Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together… mass hysteria!
Maybe it’s bravado, but strangely enough just like Venkman, I seem to be relatively ok with the fact that we’re all going to die. No, really. Because if this crisis is truly meant to be the beginning of we’re-all-royally-screwed-end-times judgment on America for its many sins, then I can’t think of a better way to ensure our complete and total destruction than to elect a Christ denying (yet Christ imitating) dillweed who thinks he can neutralize the threat of a nuke building Iran and a nuke ready Russia with his charm. Really, what better way to tell God just how ridiculously irredeemable we’ve become than to elect a guy who claims to be a Christian and yet thinks a good Muslim could still make it to the pearly gates as long as he keeps the bombing of civilians to a minimum? Hey, we’re all good people here, really(!), even if we do think having a baby is tantamount to a punishment, and if we don’t seem to be too bothered at the thought of leaving those that survived failed abortions out to die. Not that Big-O would ever intentionally do such a thing, he just doesn’t think they merit protection of course, at least not until the kind of offensive language that dares to remotely suggest a fetus is a living thing is completely stripped from such a bill of protection. Because you know, God forbid we should toss those whacky pro-life freaks a bone that even NARAL wouldn’t have had a problem with. We do need to be principled here, after all.
No, I just don’t see why God would want to rain fire and brimstone on us darling cherubs of light… except for possibly giving our rich folks far too many tax breaks.
When I think about it, it’s not even Obama that I can’t stand so much. I don’t even hate on the heathens for supporting him either, since such a godless sort devoid of any sense of morality will obviously go for the Barry-O show. I can respect that.
No, it’s the self professing Christians who hang on every word he speaks, and who teach their children to sing musical praises of Hopey-O-Change that make me want to stomp their faces in with something rusty and spiky.
It’s no secret that I intensely dislike what passes for American Christianity today, whether we’re dealing with dimwits sipping Starbucks while they fawn over girlie boy Rick Warren’s latest perfume scented books, or Calvinist snotheads who think knowing two words in Greek makes them the most brilliant scholars in recorded history, or charismatics who scream and flail their arms in revival meetings because they think they’re “on fire” and they’re about ready to projectile vomit out a stomach’s worth of 24 karat gold.
Yet nothing makes me want to go out and start bouncing people’s heads off the cement more than those ever devout Christians drooling puppy love over that Obamanation of nature otherwise known as Barack Hussein Obama. I am absolutely convinced that this very same flock of fluffy sheep will also someday jump at the chance to stand in line for an opportunity to lick the hairy hindquarters of the Antichrist, thinking it will taste just like rainbows.
These to me represent the most darkened, clueless minds in all of creation, and because of their depraved stupidity I may end up witnessing the one thing I never wanted to see in my lifetime: the death of my country. Thank you so, SO much for that, my brothers and sisters in the Lord.
I don’t get it. I really don’t. You hate Bush? Fine. You think he’s a war mongering, oil happy, half brained cowboy who caters to the rich? Fine. I can understand that. I even dig the pacifism thing.
Explain the abortion thing to me then. Explain to me how the violence involved in ripping fetuses to shreds doesn’t somehow repulse your pacifist side the way “Bush’s war” does. Because when I see people looking to extend human rights to red assed baboons or wail whenever a dolphin is caught in a net, but scream at the top of their lungs for the right to twirl up a fetus into itty bitty bits that would have otherwise become a full fledged human being, then I see only the kind of deranged, twisted up minds that no medicine on earth could ever possibly cure.
And yet somehow, you’re all ok with it. You can relate to a guy who can’t even get the basic tenets of Christianity right, (though I admit, it would have been more palatable to me if you merely agreed with him on some points and decided only to vote for him while holding your nose at the polls.) But no, your attitude is one of complete adoration for a morally compromised Chicago politician as if he had come from the very throne of heaven itself. It exhibits the same kind of mentality that the Antichrist will no doubt someday feed on: unabashed adoration and unquestionable loyalty, despite the transparent seedy and evil character of your so called hero.
It almost makes me want to see the Obamanation become President, if for no other reason than to see the collective look of your ashen faces when you realize with horror that “the one” turned out to be the second coming of JC after all: JC as in Jimmy Carter that is. Mr. Malaise has finally come back to finish the job.
You know what really frosts my Chips Ahoy cookies about all this though? It’s the fact that I’ll have to endure the travesty that will soon come upon us, alone. There will be no honey bunny snuggles to share my misery with while we watch our beloved country commit suicide. No cuddly bunchikins to hold and share a sweet, tender moment with while our cities riot and burn. Every dark day that lies ahead of me I will have to face completely and utterly alone, all because not a single one of you hateful, despicable, vile women could manage to find it in your hearts to wubs me.
Fine then. Don’t come crying to me when the world ends and you desperately need a manly shoulder to cry on. I won’t be there.
Well maybe I will. I am desperate and all so who knows, perhaps I can learn to forgive and forget.
