#middle eastern buffet

[gulabiprincess]

Day before Ramadan starts is a perfect excuse to go to a buffet and have at least 4 full plates

[eretzyisrael]

Dear American Jews,

I don't pretend to know what's going to happen in the US, but I can tell you stories from France.

In hindsight, it was after the 1970s PLO and FPLP great terror waves, but when more Arabs began living and feeling at home in France. 

Between them and the "GUD", some extreme-right militia/student group which somehow also got more active . the harassment in synagogues and Jewish cultural centers began rising.

The wide, ornate XIXth century wooden door of our quiet synagogue closed except for a few hours a year, when MANY policemen were around. Its internal panel was reinforced in steel. The beautiful stained glass windows were covered from the outside, and small electric lights installed behind them.

We got used to come in via the small service entrance, where 2-3 volunteers opened only on demand, and came out to "chat" with any unknown person requesting entry before giving the OK.

The lackadaisy, grey-haired cop in front, who used to chat up the kids and whistle cartoons tunes for us, disappeared. In his place came either a small van with 5 "CRS" (the "assault" cops) in it, or only 2 CRS, twice as big as our old friend it seemed, with ceramic vest and actual rifles.  

They never ruffled our hair , but looked severe and intent. Barely accepted the plates of food us kids would bring out for them from the synagogue buffet (that one did get to thaw them, though. They liked the food).

The crowd in front of the entrance disappeared, too. Either our security or the cops would order us to "disperse" quickly after the service.

Then came "incidents" in a few other places, and after them the parking interdiction before the door was extended almost all over the block. Didn't make us many friends with the neighbors, I can tell you.

Then a few kids were accosted when they crossed the street, and after many discussions with the municipality a cop appeared there, too. 

Then, as we got a little older, many kids were recruited for the security duty. We had krav-maga and "calling in the MORE serious police" procedures lessons,  and such.  I think if you're not a religious Jew, it's difficult to understand the feeling of a religious teenager actually switching a walkie-talkie on, on a Saturday morning before prayer, under the eyes of the rabbi , IN THE SYNAGOGUE.

 Something akin to spitting on a crucifix but knowing it's ok? Dunno. You feel both important and wrong. Mainly wrong. 

Then, somewhere, a car came on to a synagogue and the guys inside opened fire on the entrance, which was left open (there. There. In our place it wouldn't have happened). The cops before the door just went splat on the pavement and waited for it to be over, and it was the civil volunteer, a middle-aged dad with a belly, who closed the door.

Mucho honor to the security volunteers, mucho stress. That was around the year we almost called the SWATs on the  cousin of a friend, who looked Middle Eastern, rode in the quiet street too fast on his big bike, and pretended to come in with his helmet on (the stupid, stupid macho stupidness of 19yo boys).

On and on. Year after year it's become worse. Now you need a special password to read the synagogue's website, and there's a digicode at the entrance, ON TOP of the security volunteers and the cops.

Now nobody needs to tell the crowd to disperse, everybody says their goodbyes inside and leaves quickly.

I haven't been back since October 7, but my friends tell me of graffiti and threatening flyers, of parents who've taken the kids out of the Sunday school.

They're resigned, but I've become too much an Israeli already. I'm angry.

Now I know we should have hired frightening rent-a-cops back then already, the kind the hoodlums don't approach if they know what's good for them.

We shouldn't have burrowed inside and kindly asked the police for perhaps another cop on  the other side of the street, but stormed the accosters and given them hell.

In the 90es, protecting a Jewish outdoor fair, I became  familiarized with the "wonderful" uses of a soda can full of rocks and kitchen knives, courtesy of the Paris suburbs "shabab" (didn't know the word back then). 

We should have seen it coming. Now it's your turn.

It is easy to make jokes about the Eastern European and Jewish prerogative about food. It is not so easy when you know both groups have been literally starved to death through no fault of their own.

It is easy for someone to say "why didn't they just leave" but not so easy knowing because these murders by starvation were intentional, the victims were actively prevented from leaving. Which in itself is proof it was intentional for these people to starve to death.

If you want us to believe something like the Holodomor was a natural famine you shouldn't also tell us about internal passports (something many countries have done in order to keep an eye on where their "undesirables" are going) and people being shot for trying to board trains, planes, busses, and carriages. If, instead, it was natural, why stop people from going somewhere that there IS food?

Through the lens of epigenetics we can begin to understand why a third generation American of EE/Jewish descent might have this anxiety about food, about making sure there is enough, that we remember those who are less fortunate, that we appear to subsist entirely on leftovers. Or, indeed, why many with these epigenetic changes tend to trend towards higher percentages of body fat. Our bodies through our genes remember a time nobody could be even a pound overweight and it knows that the body literally eats itself as we starve and the first to go of course is body fat so our bodies, knowing all this, make sure we have extra "God forbid (ptoo ptoo ptoo), just in case".

"They tried to kill us, they failed, let's eat" isn't just a pithy saying. We outlived them even despite being unable to eat. We do not hoard food, we just happen to have a lot of leftovers through this anxiety about food. "Oy, I ate too much" is a blessing. With it, we are aware of how few times our ancestors could say the same. During Pesach (Passover), we have an entire dinner party (complete with perhaps a little too much wine) and recline in style as we eat matzo and remember why it is just so damn flat (we rushed off to escape from Egypt without finishing making our dough. D'oh!). Everything on the seder plate has a meaning, with some items being added or removed based on the traditions of the family or congregation doing the seder. Such as in the past couple years the olive is added to symbolize the hope for peace in Ukraine (or, for some, peace in the Middle East). Or the orange to symbolize the inclusion of the LGBTQ community.

Perhaps it seems paradoxical to eat so much in one sitting instead of saving some for a time where food may be scarce. But it goes hand in hand with "They tried to kill us, they failed". We have survived another day and have enjoyed good food and good company. In spite of everything they did to us. We feast out of spite. Perhaps because of all those times our enemies were eating without a care in the world while our ancestors watched and starved. We have proof of commie buffets while starving Ukrainians watched from the street. We have proof of Jews being teased with food, with Gentiles tossing heels of bread on the ground so they could watch as said Jews fought over it or flinging a sausage and laughing as Jews raced to get it as if they were playing fetch with a dog. Or the innumerable times people were killed for stealing a handful of grain when many times they were the ones who had farmed the grain in the first damn place.

There are many who do not see starvation as a tool of genocide. They don't understand how starvation can break a community. Death by Hunger, the translation of Holodomor, was not about control like people claim (in other words they claim the death was an accident, that the starving was meant to keep people in line. If they had just behaved themselves they wouldn't have died etc.,). It was always and forever about a stronger group ridding the world of another group without getting literal and metaphorical blood on their hands. They could cite plausible deniability. It wasn't their fault, honest, it was just bad luck.

The stereotypical scene of people in lines that stretch multiple city blocks was in fact the norm. And more often than not, only the first few dozen would get anything at all and everyone else would find they had wasted an entire day waiting for food that was never meant to be given to them in the first place. The supply was purposely small. At least for those who were either too low in the Party or not a part of it at all. For Jews, you turned to the black market which was often caught selling spoiled food as well as food that wasn't actually food at all (such as sawdust masquerading as bread). Which happened even with regular stores because as a Jew you could only buy certain things and everyone knew it and still would not sell the genuine article because why should they? It is, after all, going to a Jew. Soviet areas were guilty of doing this to everyone, too.

So if you are visiting an EE and/or Jewish home and they actively push food on you and insist you take leftovers, that is their love language. We want you to have enough because far too many times our people did not. And in Jewish culture, it is a literal mitzvah to provide food to those who cannot procure it themselves either because of money/access, or they are going thru the bereavement process or otherwise incapable of dealing with making sure they have something to eat (such as an illness that prompts them being added to the Mi Shebeirach list which in many congregations is printed and given out to refer to during the Mi Shebeirach prayer during services and may also be paired with the mourner's kaddish list). It is why when you go to a house where the occupants are sitting Shiva, you will often find their kitchen stacked with tupperware of varying sizes and cuisine and you will often be instructed to bring something as well though it isn't a requirement. Generally, your presence is considered the more important aspect of the Jewish bereavement process. (Just do not say you are going to sit Shiva with someone. Rather, you are paying a Shiva call or condolence call. Only the mourners are in fact sitting Shiva. Also important: try the door first before ringing or knocking, as usually that is seen as an interruption to sitting Shiva which is frowned upon. And do not literally call them unless told otherwise for the same reason.)

Food makes or breaks us. Food is not inherently moral or immoral. And yes, perhaps there is always room for dessert. And maybe we do eat too much but that's okay. We have survived to enjoy it, so let us do so. Nu, it is what our ancestors would want.

As you know, 2024 will be the Year of the Dragon according to the eastern horoscope. This beast is noble and powerful, inspiring awe. Blank doesn’t particularly inspire anything other than a good mood, but, as Taranee would say: “there are also small dragons.”

(English is not my native language, so there may be mistakes. Please be understanding)

This costume and the image itself are taken from a series with the play (“Ambush at Torus Filne”). In it we learn about how the crystal appeared, giving the guards strength. The legend of compassionate dragons who relieved people from drought overlaps markedly with another legend. From Earth.

"The Jade Emperor Yu-di organized a race among the animals to determine the order of the zodiac signs. Such a powerful and energetic beast as the Dragon had every chance of becoming the first. But when he was close to the finish line, he saw a village that was suffering from drought. He flew over clouds and caused rain to help starving people.

The dragon continued on his way, but saw another village - it was threatened by flooding. He took pity on the residents, swallowed the water and only then continued on his way.

Just before the finish line, the Dragon saw that the Rabbit was being chased by the Wolf. To save the Rabbit, the Dragon let him go ahead. And so it happened that the strong and powerful creature finished fifth in the race, after the Rat, Ox, Tiger and Rabbit."

In the "W.I.T.C.H" version, four dragons representing the elements were imprisoned in the mountains because they dared to help people without asking permission from their Emperor. It turns out that in both legends the Dragon suffered from his own kindness?

This is partly true. And in fact, this is not the worst moral, although at first glance it does not seem so. By helping someone, you may actually miss an opportunity or get into trouble. No matter how much we wish that life would encourage noble deeds more.

But altruism should not be idealized. There's nothing wrong with being aware of the risks. Belief in a “just world”, where everyone is rewarded according to their actions, very often leads to disappointment and the thought “if something bad happened to me, I probably wasn’t good enough.” And to devaluing other people's troubles.

There is no kind of universal justice in the world and no clearly working karmic slaps on the head. However, there are other people, good and not so good. What you do may resonate with them. For example, a good deed performed in spite of any difficulties. And then real magic can happen, accessible even beyond the boundaries of legends.

I sincerely wish you to find a common language with yourself, to love yourself (within adequate limits). Find a solid foundation of confidence under your feet. And then no difficulties in life will become insurmountable for you.

If after this you find the strength and time to support other people, to inspire them with your example is wonderful. If not, this will not make you a bad person. Healthy selfishness is a wonderful thing. And good deeds should not be forced. __________________________

In addition to references to the symbol of the year, the art contains intersections with a recent answer in the ask. Anyone who read the accompanying post knows.

Caleb, one might say, is preparing a festive buffet. But the bull doesn't really want to be the main dish :D

I have long been attracted to garlands with dried orange slices. They are so warm and cozy. I wanted to add them to at least one of the New Year's arts :3

This idea later developed into the concept of natural Christmas tree decorations. Still, the Middle Ages reign on Meridian. It is unlikely that there is such an abundance of plastic toys there as we have now (the main thing is not to wonder whether there are citrus fruits in this fictional world).

But I still added a garland and balloons, I couldn’t resist. Maybe the girls brought it from Earth (making sure that everything would run on batteries) :D

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Totally Spies! S1 E10-15

ok we watched these late last night while also a lil high so its a lil hazy. also we have found a new top contender for the worst episode. not for the usual reasons. here ya go

oh also i rearranged a few of the last ones cuz they were just. wrong.

ok lets get to the notes

Silicon Valley Girls: ai named CHAD starts torturing people who bullied his creator Adam, machine kinda sexyevil like glados?, saying shit to everyone like "you've been a very bad boy. you deserve punishment" also CHAD reprograms Adam

Queen for a Day: fetishization of North African/ Middle Eastern women, kidnapping, bondage, forced dating

Shrinking: honestly not as bad as it could've been, micro/macro stuff, clover does wear doll's clothes at the end tho

Aliens: actually almost fine other than the torture/ murder machine, and also the organization called Gooper? more on this episode later

Wild Style: oh boy! this episode is the Island of Doctor Moreau but with Jimmy Buffet and Buffalo Bill (but a lady), evil fashion lady forcibly turns people into animal people so she can flay them and make clothing out of their fur/skin, she does in fact wear a coat made of human skin, she served cunt tho so i support women's wrongs, oh also clover becomes a catgirl and her outfit rips in some horny ways :/

Ok so now that that's out of the way, I NEED to talk about the geopolitical implications of the totally spies! world. so we see a couple world maps in the episode "Aliens"

so i have a couple theories for this situation. the breaks in the countries vaguely correspond to real tectonic faults? and we see an earthquake generator in this episode that's the size of a radio? so im thinking since there's basically constant supervillian activities, this may be causing the faults to move rapidly. and also IS CALIFORNIA AN ISLAND??

despite this drastic geologic difference to our earth, we often see a lot of places in this show mostly unchanged. like. Mexico has been Fucked but we still see Mexico City. We see New York twin towers and all. And Beverly Hills of course. There are some made up countries like Kenyopia and Lirobia (i think) but its like. An excuse for them to use weird medieval middle eastern stereotypes for a modern day thingie i guess. There were some others but I'm not going back and watching past episodes. France and Peru and China all exist. Also, Ivy pointed out that the Great Wall of China is still there even though there's a sea there now? We're gonna start noting these things now.

I also have some stuff to say about the music but we'll save that for it's own post.

11 episodes left in Season 1!

Corporate Catering in Dubai: What to Look for in a Catering Company

Dubai is a bustling city known for its vibrant business culture, high-end events, and corporate gatherings. When planning a corporate event, one of the most crucial aspects is food. A well-organized catering service can make a huge difference in how an event is perceived. Whether it's a small office party, a business meeting, or a large corporate event, choosing the right caterer is essential. In this blog, we will discuss what to look for in a corporate catering company and how to find the best catering services Dubai has to offer.

1. Experience and Reputation

The first thing to consider when selecting a catering company is their experience and reputation. A well-established caterer with years of experience will understand the unique needs of corporate events. They will have the expertise to handle various cuisines, dietary preferences, and large-scale service. Always check reviews, testimonials, and past client feedback before making a decision.

2. Variety of Menu Options

A good corporate caterer should offer a diverse menu with a range of food options. From traditional Middle Eastern dishes to international cuisines, the caterer must be able to provide food that suits the preferences of all guests. Additionally, having vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options is essential for inclusivity.

3. Customization and Flexibility

Every corporate event is unique, and the catering should be tailored to match the occasion. A reliable catering company in Dubai should provide customization options to align with your specific requirements. Whether you need a breakfast buffet, a light lunch, or an elegant dinner, the catering service should be flexible to accommodate your needs.

4. Quality of Ingredients and Hygiene Standards

Food quality is one of the most important factors when choosing a caterer. Fresh and high-quality ingredients make a significant impact on taste and overall satisfaction. Additionally, hygiene standards should be strictly maintained to ensure food safety. Check if the caterer follows proper food handling and hygiene protocols.

5. Professional Service and Punctuality

Time is crucial in corporate events, and delays in food service can disrupt the entire schedule. A good home catering Dubai provider should be punctual and deliver the food on time. The staff should be well-trained, courteous, and professional, ensuring smooth service throughout the event.

6. Cost and Budget Considerations

While quality is important, staying within budget is also a priority. Compare different catering services and get quotations to understand the pricing structure. Some caterers may offer customized packages, allowing you to choose services that fit within your budget. It’s always a good idea to have a balance between cost and quality.

7. Live Cooking and Interactive Stations

For high-end corporate events, live cooking stations can add a touch of elegance and engagement. Having chefs prepare food on the spot, such as pasta, grills, or desserts, adds an interactive element that impresses guests. Check if the caterer provides such services if you want to make your event more memorable.

8. Sustainability and Eco-Friendly Practices

With growing awareness of sustainability, many companies prefer eco-friendly catering options. A good caterer should use biodegradable packaging, minimize food wastage, and source ingredients locally whenever possible. If sustainability is important to your company, inquire about the caterer’s eco-friendly practices.

9. Tasting Sessions Before Finalizing

Before making a final decision, request a tasting session. This helps you understand the quality, taste, and presentation of the food before the event. A professional catering company in Dubai will always be willing to arrange a tasting session to showcase their expertise.

10. Additional Services and Support

Apart from food, some caterers provide additional services such as event planning, decorations, and seating arrangements. If you need a complete event solution, look for a caterer that offers such services to make event planning more convenient.

Why Corporate Catering is Important

Corporate catering is not just about serving food; it plays a key role in creating a positive impression on clients, employees, and business partners. A well-catered event reflects professionalism and hospitality. Whether it’s a product launch, an annual meeting, or a simple team lunch, good food enhances the overall experience.

Finding the Right Catering Service in Dubai

Dubai has numerous catering companies, but finding the right one requires careful research. Start by listing down your requirements and budget. Then, look for catering services that match your needs. Check their website, menu, and customer reviews before finalizing. Word-of-mouth recommendations can also help in finding a reliable caterer.

If you’re hosting a small party catering Dubai, choose a caterer that specializes in small-scale events. They will have better experience in handling intimate gatherings and can provide personalized service. On the other hand, for large-scale corporate events, choose a catering company with expertise in handling big events.

Conclusion

Choosing the right catering service is crucial for the success of any corporate event. Consider factors such as experience, menu variety, hygiene standards, flexibility, and budget before finalizing a caterer. Dubai offers a wide range of catering options, from high-end gourmet catering to home catering in Dubai for smaller events. With careful planning and the right catering partner, your corporate event can be a memorable and successful experience.

Whether you are looking for catering services in Dubai, planning a small party catering in Dubai, or researching catering companies in Dubai, keeping these factors in mind will help you find the perfect caterer for your event. Quality food and professional service can leave a lasting impression, making your corporate gathering a grand success.

Overnight Safari in Dubai: What to Expect and How to Prepare

Dubai is a city known for its towering skyscrapers, luxury shopping, and extravagant lifestyle. But beyond its modern glitz lies the vast and beautiful Arabian Desert, offering a completely different kind of adventure. One of the most thrilling experiences you can have here is an overnight safari Dubai. This journey into the heart of the desert promises an unforgettable blend of adventure, tranquility, and cultural immersion. Whether you're planning your trip or just curious, here’s a comprehensive guide on what to expect and how to prepare.

What is an Overnight Safari in Dubai?

An overnight safari in Dubai takes you deep into the desert, where you can experience the magic of the Arabian night under a canopy of stars. This adventure typically begins in the late afternoon and includes various exciting activities such as dune bashing, camel rides, quad biking, and sandboarding. As the sun sets, the desert transforms, and you’ll enjoy an evening filled with entertainment, a sumptuous barbecue dinner, and cultural performances like belly dancing and Tanoura shows. After the festivities, you’ll spend the night in a traditional Bedouin-style camp, complete with comfortable sleeping arrangements.

What to Expect During Your Overnight Safari

1. Exciting Desert Activities

Dune Bashing: This adrenaline-pumping activity is often the highlight of the safari. Skilled drivers take you on a thrilling ride over the sand dunes in a 4x4 vehicle.

Quad Bike Rental Dubai and Dune Buggy Rides: For those who crave more adventure, renting a quad bike or a dune buggy lets you explore the desert at your own pace. These rides offer a thrilling way to navigate the dunes and feel the rush of the desert breeze.

Camel Rides: A camel ride provides a more traditional way to experience the desert landscape, giving you a glimpse into how Bedouins traveled in ancient times.

Sandboarding: This fun activity is similar to snowboarding but takes place on sand dunes. It’s a must-try for thrill-seekers.

2. Evening Entertainment and Dinner

As night falls, the desert camp comes alive with music, dance, and delicious food. Expect to enjoy:

Barbecue Buffet Dinner: A lavish spread of Arabic and international cuisine, including grilled meats, salads, and desserts.

Cultural Performances: Watch mesmerizing belly dancing, the hypnotic spins of a Tanoura dancer, and sometimes even a fire show.

Henna Painting: Try traditional henna art on your hands or feet, a popular cultural experience.

Shisha: Relax and unwind with a flavored shisha pipe, a common pastime in Middle Eastern culture.

3. Stargazing and Overnight Stay

After the festivities, the desert quiets down, and you’ll have the chance to gaze at the starlit sky, far away from city lights. Sleeping arrangements in the camp vary, with options ranging from tents with cozy bedding to open-air setups where you can sleep under the stars.

How to Prepare for Your Overnight Safari

To make the most of your overnight safari, it’s essential to prepare properly. Here are some tips:

1. Book Your Tickets in Advance

Overnight safaris are popular, so it’s advisable to book your tickets in advance. Many tour operators offer different packages, so compare options to find one that suits your preferences and budget. Look for packages that include activities like dune buggy rental Dubai or quad bike rental Dubai if those interest you.

2. Wear Comfortable Clothing

Opt for loose, breathable clothing to stay comfortable in the desert heat during the day and warmer layers for the cooler night temperatures.

Wear closed-toe shoes to protect your feet during activities like dune bashing and sandboarding.

3. Pack Essentials

Sunscreen, Sunglasses, and a Hat: Protect yourself from the strong desert sun.

Water and Snacks: While most tours provide refreshments, it’s always a good idea to carry some extra water and light snacks.

Camera or Smartphone: Capture the stunning desert scenery and your safari adventures.

Power Bank: Ensure your devices stay charged, especially if you plan to take lots of photos.

4. Follow Safety Guidelines

Listen carefully to the safety instructions given by your guides, especially during activities like dune bashing and quad biking. Always wear seat belts in the 4x4 vehicle and helmets when riding quad bikes or dune buggies.

Why an Overnight Safari in Dubai is Worth It

An overnight safari offers a perfect blend of adventure, culture, and relaxation. It’s a chance to escape the hustle and bustle of the city and immerse yourself in the serene beauty of the desert. From the thrill of dune bashing to the tranquility of stargazing, every moment is memorable.

Conclusion

An overnight safari in Dubai is an experience like no other. Whether you're racing across the dunes on a quad bike, enjoying a delicious barbecue under the stars, or simply soaking in the peaceful desert ambiance, this adventure promises memories that will last a lifetime. So, book your tickets, pack your essentials, and get ready for an unforgettable desert escapade.

Fat girl day at the Museum

So it was free day at most museums in LA. So friends and I went to the Oscar museum at the Tar Pits / LACMA park. It was a blast. I got got a phone number in the bar and eat a smashed cheeseburger They gave me free fries which I shared with the girl. She works in the industry so we talked about movies. All the Oscar flicks. I went to the Cyberpunk exhibit and walked around. taking in the sights. In particular the lovely big girls. It's LA so I was shocked at how many big girls there were. A couple were dressed with their tummies hanging out as well and I was so turned on that I was in paradise. They were everywhere and all types. Even Asian girls which used to be so rare but it's becoming a thing! So you need to know this. Every big girl I walked by I whispered the words "you are beautiful". Skinny girls got nothing. A couple girls stared back and I know I they wanted to hook up because girls love to be loved. And I love to love them!

There were Latinas, East Asians, Pacific Islanders, Central Asians, Middle Eastern girls and even a ton of White girls of all hair types. I don't know if they dyed their hair but I can always see the roots and you know that it turns me on regardless. When I was younger I wanted Latinas and brunettes and I even dated witches both Wiccan and Satanic so you know they always dye their hair black. LOL Though I have been with blondes, redheads and it has become like a thing. especially today on St Patricks day I want all of you Irish girls to know that I have love for you as well. I am part Manx which is like Scott's Irish and also I'm part Irish, Mexican and Native American (Creek Muskogee). Oh and yes I dated a Cheyenne girl for years.

BTW, no I didn't fuck all of them, but most of them. We fooled around and I respected them If they wanted to save me for marriage. Both my Jordanian girls though one was half Italian and my Isreali girl were both overweight. I'll tell you more about them another time.

I'm not kissing and telling, I'm celebrating them. I'm in my hypersexual stage and I'm greedy. I eat like a fat lazy pig but I work out, lift weights and walk, hike, but I'm not going to be your piggy boy. Your my fatty and i will fatten you up and take care of you. I know it turns you on to be a female FA, but I'm not a BHM, even though I am handsome. I know don't hate me because I'm beautiful. I don't hate you because you are beautiful. Yes your beautiful and so am I. Have you seen Ideocracy. When the football player says, I'm gonna fuck all y'all. That's me.

I'm so greedy all I want is everything, you should see me at buffet. Though the reason you should see me at a buffet is because I will bring you more food than you can eat. Patty was a grazer so she always said she was wasted at a buffet, but I eat everything, ate myself stuffed. Cuz babe I am a glutton, I am so guilty of so many sins. So this is true. I went to Europe on a Contiki tour. I hooked with a fat blonde Kiwi Tour Guide. Yes I hooked up with management. She got mad at me because I said her company was a joke, then her tour parted ways but she wanted me to call her and be with her "lots". So silly. I never called but she was blonde with dark roots. I wanted to but I was already with an Armenian girl and my pornstar friend took me to the Hollywood Bowl and we saw Ericka Badu and the Roots and I only hook up with love at first sight. So I did. I lost my camera that day but I fucked for hours. I made her eggs in the morning but I lost my palm pilot. I know I'm so old. She was a congressional intern and I love being in Echo Park. My dad lived in Silver Lake and I have so many stories to tell you. I'm a greedy goon who lives the life. Just like 2 Short all I want is girls who "all they want to is fuck"! Eat and fuck eat and fuck. I'm no cuck! I want every single one of you! So at the end of my European tour... They all wanted me. I could not choose because I told you I love all of you. How am I going to choose? I want to fuck all y'all! It's the California Lifestyle that I live.
