aha! you should have been with me this afternoon: first patio beers of the season. my friend looked at me and said: "can you believe we're still talkin' bout this show?" "just shows you how good it is."
Lt. in the gay bar was perfect, kinda added to his personality. great to know he was a dick that liked dick! but i have to say season 5 was way too rushed!
Omar didn't really have a chance to take it like a man, reallly. All he wanted was a Pepsi some Honey Nut. Yo.
I've ranted about this incessantly, but the second season was filmed on MY TURF. I used to eat at "the greek's" all the time, and there are even a couple of scenes where you can see my former company's sign in the background. "The Boat" even Tioed up at "the office" and was actually next door to "the greek's " (55 So. Clinton St.)
Of course, at the time, I was too wrapped up in getting myself in trou=ble to have any idea about the show. Or how much more dangerous things were in "the western" compared to Brooklyn and Dundalk.
lived on vancouver island for a few years - when i was leaving, a sweet lady i knew said i could leave, but the salt air would be forever in my lungs. she said i would crave it and i do. living next to a lake can't hold a candle to that air.
In the late eighties/early nineties, I set up shop in Czechoslovakia. I was quite comfortable and loved my friends, the place, the sheer EXPLOITATION of their innocence...
BUt then I started to go a little haywire. It took me a little while to figure out exactly what the problem was, but eventually I made the connextion that that what the only period of my life when I had lived outside of smelling distance of Salt Water.
I jumped a train to Venice to test my theory, and as soon as I stepped out into that damp salty air, I felt like myself again. Shortly thereafter I returned to the university and thank god i did. I think I only have one or two of the whole gang back then still living.
it's true. there's no beating that smell,taste,feel... once you've got it, you know it. i'm from toronto, used to water, but pretty much land locked. once i got a taste for the coast, well, i cannot deny it's pull.
Yeah, but these kids today...They don't understand "water rationing" even though I work on a tug without watermakers. The level of constant showering/antibacterial soaps &c. scares the fuck out of me. In the 60's people showered a couple of times a week, and washed their hair MAYBE once a week. If they were a gurl. ANd people wonder why my constitution is so formidable and my head of hair is so thick while my "contemporaries" are all bald and weak.
