Driving this car is unbelievable. on the way home from pleasure island I kept on passing the resort which is on kinda desserted street at like 110mph. it would spin the tires, all duke of hazzard style around every corner. not to mention you can look up and see the sky and wave your hands. take the traction control off and i might as, well, be on top of a women. Pleasure island sucked....there are way too many younglings around...even though the're from buffalo and liked the tub!!!!OUT.

Is anything perfect?
Category: vacation
Its about 2:30 right now and I'm wakin up from a nap...looks like I won't be able to so anything else until tomorrow...I blew it!!! (should have gotten up at 12:00).

This resort is great...I ogt kinda boned on my car rental and instead of a convertible ,ustang I got a chrysler sebring...which is really disappointing I payed extra to go with Budget who rents Fords and not Dollar who rents chyslers. They're gonna get an earful from me in the morning.

Here are some pics from my .5 megapixel phone camera:

I bet you guys miss this!!!

Even the pool is wifi---you should have seen the looks I got when I pulled out my laptop!!!

Damn I need to get some sleep...


image
One very, very big tub


image



image
Damn this room is big...I keep on having to walk thorugh doors to get to rooms.


image
Notice the shitty golf coarse off the patio...not to shabby...


image
OOO .... and a full kitchen too...
Notice yankees cap, backwards...Yeah I love NY

I made a trip to Walmart in the evening....Holy shit what a nightmare that was. I must have waited an hour for about 6 people to ring and bag their carts all to have their first credit card declined...everyone and I'm not kidding....DT tip #2 if you value your sanity on vacation stay the hell away from Walmart.

Good thing I brought some fine Indian tabacco to calm me down.

I'm out...it seems like I had some funny captions for these pictures but they all slipped my mind...TIme to go back to bed.,,

Love you, MrDT

lol nice update..

That pool looks fabulous.. ahh, even that damn bath tub looks pretty sweet.

I see you braved the camera and snuck in a pic of yourself. Bravo.. and nice. I havent quite been able to get a full-self pic using a mirror.

How was your 70 plus degree night drive? :)

UPDATE::: I'm am now in the possession a cherry red mustang convertible and when I hit the gas leaving the airport I think I had a small orgasm.

Category: spring break
[size=xl]SPRING BREAK IS HERE!!![/size]
Am I too old to get excited by springbreak???? I am going on spring break and all.

Well I took the okcupid! test and I have to say the results are what I've always known:

The Loverboy
Random Gentle Love Master (RGLMm)


Well-liked. Well-established. You are The Loverboy. Loverboys thrive in committed, steady relationships--as opposed to, say, Playboys, who want sex without too much attachment.

You've had many relationships and nearly all of them have been successful. You're a nice guy, you know the ropes, and even if you can be a little hasty with decisions, most girls think of you as a total catch. Your hastiness comes off as spontaneity most of the time anyhow, making you especially popular in your circle of friends, too.


Your exact opposite:The Billy Goat

Deliberate Brutal Sex Dreamer

You know not to make the typical Loverboy mistake of choosing someone who appreciates your good humor and popularity, but who offers nothing in return. You belong with someone outgoing, independent, and creative. Otherwise, you'll get bored. And then instead of surprising her with flowers or a practical joke, you'll surprise her by leaving.


ALWAYS AVOID: The Nymph

CONSIDER: The Window Shopper, The Peach



--With that in mind I better go stock up.

Spring break is so important to me. It gives me a chance to finally warm-up and to be active again. Half the reason I'm so unproductive during winter is cause its too damn cold for me to go out. I ski but I gave it up because most of my friends now snowboard.... and it's so damned expensive. But anyway, this will be a nice to change allowing me to get outside and just walk in the beatiful weather. Nothing like a good walk to rid myself of that winter cabin fever. If I had my way it would be summer every day

Not sure if I'll he'd into bike week at Daytona. Would the traffic be worth it??? Could I even get the Mustang down the A 1 A, beachfront ave??..Or should I opt for the publc beacf in Cocoa??? Its supposed to rain on thursday in Laudeldale.

Maybe, hook up with a friend and shoot the 9 hole practice coarse??...

With that in mind it's time to go because I have many things to do...

Love, Mrdt

me,myself & I
Category: ramblin
yeah I had a feelin' that was gonna happen. i just wrote a few lines and published it with the plan to update it. i had this feelin that it wasn't gonna post and it didn't. once again it seems like I'm the last to post for the day. even got paul beat and (e:ladycroft) if your an insomniac where the hell are you???

changed my user sound again for all you music lovers. this time were takin it old school.

as I was saying, i just finished an enormous salad with a piece of mid-rare flank steak. I over dressed the salad but let me tell you that Ken's sesame and ginger lite is the bomb. this was the first time I didn't over cook my meat, usually the foreman wineds up steaming instead of searing and I get a well done piece of meat in about 4 minutes. Not Tonight!!!!

i've been thinking about my trip coming up. its gonna be so much fun but i don't have anyone to enjoy it with. i'll probably call my old friend mary jane up to keep me company while i sit by the pool or beach and read a few books i have picked out. i didn't leave her for health reasons....i just had to say goodbye for work related reasons and she was getting in the way. not to mention the fact that i love her so much: the way she sparkles in the moonlight; the way she smells so intoxicating; her red hairs;the way she tastes; the way she makes me feel and the way i feel so relaxed around her. it just sucks that i have these killer plans set up and its just me. I have the mariott timeshare in orlando right on a 27 hole championship golf course with a hot tub master suite, swim-up bar, 3 restaurants and $200 in gift certificates for massage or disney or universal or the ritz-carlton. Then there's two nights in Ft Lauderdale at a Starwood property right on the fucking beach which is absolutely free. And of coarse can't forget about the car rental which is brand new drop top ford mustang. Phatty, phat, phat, phat.

Its tueday night and I leave early Saturday morning...if anybody wants to go...plenty of room...am i just playin...i don't know. Well anyway I'm excited as hell. I hit more than my goal weight this morning...12 lbs in a little over 6 weeks. I should be able to squeeze out another half pound or so....but whats the difference the second i get down there the old me is comin' back out. actually maybe not the old me but i can tell you when you're alone alcohol does wonders for the confidence.

I just watched that HBO movie Ms. Harris...it was about the Scarboro Diet Murder. Pretty good...I have always loved annette bening. It reminded how shitty people are to one another and how deceptive they can be. All I can say is what goes around comes around. Life ain't fair but thats no reason to be a shitty person. Some days I wake up feelin like I got the shitty end of the stick and I'm a little sad and suicidal but I don't go and take it out on other people. so be good to people damnit and quit being so fuckin stuck up. who do you think you are??? you're just like the rest of us unique/confused/lonely/happy/depressed...no better than the rest. and help one another---don't wait for somebody to ask when you see them struggling. don't forget we're all in this shit together so lets make the best of it. as a matter of fact lets all get naked and f.......

With lots of love, MrDT

what the shit???
Category: tired
i stopped by an old friends house tonight to celebrate his birthday and the fact that he made it through his first block at the culinary institue of america...a school i have considered for many years to go to. it was a decent group of people some elders mixed with people my age. i was talking to a guy that is the executive chef of the wegmans amherst st location. it completely confirmed to me that wegmans only hires mindless individuals that buy onto their corporate culture bullshit. you know the people who plan to work in the same place for the rest of their life boring, comfortable lives. sorry to those of you who work for wegmans but i'll be surprised if you tell me that moving up the corporate ladder has been a short and easy process.

a few people seemed highly intoxicated on a mixture of red wine and whiskey, mainly my buddy and his mother. DT tip #1 never mix the grain and the grape. I was talkin to one of my acquaintances through my buddy about my place and (e:) strip and decided to hop on my buddies computer to check it out. all of a sudden my buddy's mom was buggin about the fact that we were on her computer which she pays for and uses in her basement....I thought she was kidding right off the bat because I have worked on that damn computer with my buddy for many years not to mention all the times that i crashed on his couch witch is adjacent to the computer. then all of a sudden i can hear her buggin out to somebody how disrespectful it was, like i'm not even in the room...

she starts to praise how wonderful her son is an how great he is doing in his program at the institute...he's gonna be one of the best graduates ever....he's gonna have his own cooking show on foodtv someday. then i say hey greg why don't you show us your hat. then all of a sudden this guy snaps at me and states how its disrespectful to wear the hat outside the kitchen. so i ask, why? and his mother chimes in that they are teaching him at the school to be professional and that they wouldn't let me keep the burns or the five a clock shadow. she then begins to state how i would never be accepted into such an important program. (let me tell you i scored in the lower 80 percentile on my gmat. i was accepted to nu, ub, nyu, cornell and university of chicago on that, my undergrad gpa and work experience as a well regarded chef, but chose to stay close to home and take the presidential scholarship from canisius, i don't think the extremely overpriced but well appointed cia would have denied my acceptance that if i took would have led to valedictorian with a solid job in one of the countries finest restaurants). I didn't argue or fight back and went to hang out with my buddy in the other room. While in the other room i could hear drunk ass mom calling me a bastard and asked my buddy what it was about. he told me i should have kept my mouth shut. i could sense the resentment in his tone so i grabbed my shit and left. i guess i totally forgot my Lenten resolution to stop hanging out with people that have tombstones in their eyes.

a little background on this guy....fry cook for life. always my wingman/somewhat of a sidekick. i encouraged him back into the restaurant business. i practically pushed him to aspire to greater things and to check out the cia. i gave him books written by admired food writers, old copies of gourmet and food arts continually, filled his head with info and my knowledge of cooking. and last but not least, on the way home from our trip to nyc to see the restaurant show we stopped for a tour and dinner that i set up and payed for at the cia. he was broke after nyc so i dropped $225 on drinks, dinner and tip($65) for the student waiter. i never got one thank you or i owe you one buddy. a few days after thanksgiving we were hanging out at mother's after my 10 year reunion. i was hammered and some how we started fighting about who would win in iron chef between myself and his culinary education. i was drunk, he insulted my lively hood somewhere in the conversation, so i told him not now nor ever would he ever be a better cook than i was. a little snobbish i know but he called me an asshole-prick and i apologized up and down. what can i say i'm an honest drunk and what you, my dear readers, don't understand is the level i operate on and the level that he aspires to. i'm here and he's down there not because of knowledge but because of a level of creativity, experience, passion and dedication. he's always resented me for this and like i said he stayed a fry cook while i became one of the youngest and talented pro's in the area. don't think because i'm not working now doesn't mean i could'nt get a job in a hot spot anywhere because i'm well versed with the ins 'n' outs that go on everywhere in virtually every restaurant.

moral of the story is when you on top...mother fuckers just want to rip you down. i've worked really hard to get to where i am...full time in restaurant, full time for associates degree and bachelors degree....not to mention the really long shifts and high heat, open to close then back 4 hours later to reopen. i might sound arrogant but the truth is that i'm extremely confident in my ability to knock your socks off through food. and most of the time pretty humble but i hate when somebody knocks 15 years of hard work and dedication to my craft and education. most of the time it rolls off like a freshly waxed car but not tonight. i have an opportunity to take a sabbatical to realign my sights and goals. it won't be to long and this bad ass mother fuckin cook will be tearin' it up again makin' the food ya just can't get enough of in your favorite restaurants.

Now i want you to reach down in the bag and get my wallet out of it. you can take the money out of it and put it in your pocket.... you'll know its mine cause it's the one that says bad motha fucka on it.

Peace out Greg and as always, good luck to you in all endeavors,

With love, Mrdt

i wasn't drinking anything but s. pelligrino, i rarely drink alcohol anymore.
metalpeter - 03/05/06 14:01
First of all there are 3 sides to every story one for you one for him and the truth is somewhare in the middle. The Mom is drunk and there are friends over so of course she is going to brag about her son, a lot of mothers are that way. Side with my friend who insulted my profesionalism or my drunk um, I don't know. Maybe the guy didn't really want to go into cooking and you pushed him somewhare he dosn't want to be now. It sounds to me like everyone there including you two where drunk. In any event it sounds verry complicated sounds like something from a reality cooking show or something.
theecarey - 03/05/06 10:49
sounds like you were in the twilight zone last night.

Maybe everything you know about yourself (its not arrogance, its confidence)are things that this guy and his mommy know as well.. and they are just trying to beat you down..as though they had put *you* on a pedestal--really, the same people who put you up there will try to knock you down. When (unconfident-tombstone eyed) people think you are fabulous, confident, strong, determined.. they'll be the ones that stick their leg out to try to trip you up.

What is mommy getting so bent about.. and parading her adult son around like that? oy. Well,Paul will spit on her, I will kick her and you take the Chef's hat, and place it on your head; as that is where it rightfully belongs anyways.
paul - 03/05/06 04:12
I would have just spit on her. I have a knack for spitting.
