5.30 AM is a truly UNGODLY hour Jim. I could never have done it, fair play to you my friend...fair play. I'm a night owl, usually...but tonight I think I will crash early. Ya gotta cut loose eventually, as we say here..."It has to be done". I'm gonna just stay in with a mate and have a few whiskeys. I think he wants to hit the town, but I don't have the money for it this year after an expensive Christmas. I'll say goodnight to you Jim, talk soon bro.

Yeah, go figure ... up until someone makes your lyrics into musical wine, no one knows your name ... and then your phone is ringing off the hook. Not sure about that the NYC NEW YEAR'S BALL, but no one invited me ... so I couldn't RSVP. But I am told that the temps are supposed to be unusually high and a RAIN could dampen the crowd's spirits. Not sure how the rain might affect those crystal panels (Waterford, of course) that make up that storied DROP-ME-RIGHT-NOW ball.

I am soon OFF for dinner, my Good Friend, but I'm wishing you a FINE NIGHT ahead. ENJOY! Yeah, it's funny that guys like P Diddy have all these friends and - when the shit hits the fan - they scatter. But Diddy's fall (if the allegations are true) is his own undoing. Such is the price of misguided fame and the trappings that come with it.

lmao...very...VERY lucky that was before smartphones my friend. Everything gets uploaded these days. So you said you're working tomorrow night?

True story about MEATLOAF ... aka Marvin Lee Aday and that voice that made us all go WOW, WHO'S THAT? He lived in the same neighborhood (Westlake Village, California) as a friend of mine and she had no idea who he was ... so she chose to always refer to him as Mister Meatloaf. HAHA! But - yeah, as it relates to teenage angst - those lyrical lines that he sung so purely shall forever resonate. Anyway, here's hoping that you are doing good and that Reggie is behaving himself. Perhaps, he might nudge you for a drink at Midnight. Enjoy your afternoon and one of the last evenings of 2024. ;)

I haven't tried Chambord yet, it's next on my list. So ya like Bailey's? I like it too, but I wouldn't order it in a pub over here. I'd drink it in private because here, it's considered a woman's drink. Tis the land of whiskey after all.

That Northern Exposure clip was pretty crazy, considering it really has happened. Now you have me wanting to binge watch a few seasons! One of the best shows ever.

You've outdone yourself this time. Canyon Man! Frickin' hilarious, because it's so true!

When people think of Reggae music, the first place they think of is Jamaica, but there are also a lot of good artists out of the UK. Hawaii though is new on me. Good stuff Jim!

That it is my friend, that it most certainly is. Benedictine is liquid SEX, you should try it.

Hey Jim! Sorry for the late reply from here, but I don't have the time to check in here as often as I would like. Never heard of Hawaiian style reggae before, but it sounds pretty good to me. I like all kinds of music, and anytime I learn about a new style or genre, it makes my day. Hope you aren't working too hard!

lol I'll try to remember that Jim. Ever watch Walker Texas Ranger?

Never let anyone tell you who you are. Other people's perceptions are always tinted through the eyes of the recipient. You can't even trust your own perceptions. That's why you need the Bible and the Holy Spirit, brainwashing that really cleanses you.

and otherwise I try to build networks, and in those I actually only recreate the brain. in my networks there are always three types of people:

there are the creators, they are the weirdos who always bother me, who always come up with new ideas. there are the owners, they are the knowledge owners. they are the people who know something in the tz. and, there are the brokers; they are the people who know people who know something; they mediate. and now you can actually say: these three groups of people together form a brain.

if I bring the creator and the owner together, I get ideas. a pool of ideas is created from knowledge and instability: that is the cortex.

if I bring the owner and the broker together, I have two evaluators. because the broker has to be able to evaluate whether knowledge is any good, and the owner has to be able to evaluate. here I have the limbic system.

and when I bring the broker and the creator together, then I have arousal. because the broker bothers me and the creator bothers me. i.e., what do I get then? an ascending reticular activating formation that keeps arousing me.

and when you bring the three things together, arousal, solution formation and evaluation, then you have a brain.

Quick flyby, before I OFFLINE, and please be kind to REGGIE. HA! Most people would be like Eddie Murphy said about a black man walking into a haunted house ... NICE PLACE, BABY, TOO BAD WE CAN'T STAY. HA! But - yeah, on that GHOST ADVENTURES show - I have seen Zak Bagans lament about demonstrative supernatural beings.

Anyway, Jim, here's hoping that you are well and set to ENJOY a relaxed time leading up to&thru the last few moments of 2-0-2-4. When I see Ryan Seacrest, I'll send him your regards. ;) ttyl, my good friend, and please return my Wayne Gretsky rookie card ... or was that the Michael Jordan.
