To all you haters... Global warming is alive and well... And I LOVE IT! Yup, 58 degrees in New York in February is fantastic! The polar ice caps are melting? Great! More global thermal real-3d cataclysmic disaster movies at the AMC 7. I will be long gone by the time any of this global warming nonsense threatens humankind. Am I being selfish? Absolutely. You have one life to live so you better make the best of it. I think I'll spend more time instilling traits like leadership, honor, integrity and sacrifice into our misguided millennials... Because in the end, that's what will solve global warming... Not another manifesto, scientific hypothesis, or political platform. That said, see you all at the beach! 🌞 (at New York, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8Si4dPnPl42R0DvcAEnsa58JEyGjPIceR2L8U0/?igshid=1no7l3zm6ugvf

Summer bodies are made in the winter! If I can still up and run 5.78 miles, I must be doing something right. But dont worry, I'll be passing out straws...for everyone else to suck it the f**k up... ;) Remember, there's no points for second place. #running #winterishere #nyc #ues https://www.instagram.com/p/Bqk78fBHMEOXxDd_dxELA-faQg0WISf6DwSPL00/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=7ohko3mtlq8g

Today is the Marine Corps birthday and tomorrow is Veterans day. To those I served with, those still serving, and those no longer with us, you all hold a place in my heart. You will always have a friend to call, a shoulder to lean on, and someone you can call your brother.

Just overheard the guy next to me say: "I'll have a Crown on the rocks with a coke back..." If you call yourself a man, do yourself a favor and never order a Crown on the rocks with a coke back, especially on a first date... or any date for that matter. It's clear that this alleged Male has no idea how to properly order a spirit of quality or the difference between a Montrachet and Chateauneuf. I'm sure an LIT will be his next cocktail of choice (and FYI, he looks old enough to know the difference). But on the other hand, I don’t think his date does either... go figure. #growup #classy #vino #whiskey #nyc #dates https://www.instagram.com/p/BpBFPuCHj4lgC-EIPb7Y__TCryK6ELeqvU8z3I0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=y14jjbytnv8q

This run was for you Senator John McCain, RIP. It seemed like yesterday when you gave your commencement speech at my graduation, “this is your chance to pierce the veneer of outside things, to live the authentic meaning of freedom, and to build on the accomplishments of America’s storied past...” I know my class took that to heart and I am a better man today for choosing the road less traveled by. In this turbulent political atmosphere we should all try to apply the fundamental lessons of honor, courage, and commitment. A nation is no stronger than its people and no matter what your beliefs are we, the people, have an obligation to ensure this nation lives on for generations and represents its storied past in the best light possible. Thank you John McCain for helping us remember that, for your service to this great nation, and your selfless dedication to the ideals of America and democracy.

During this recent impromptu excursion to a women’s retailer I was thoroughly shocked at the pictured state of affairs. And honestly ladies... how does one find this acceptable?! I mean really, what’s the thought process here? Hmmm, I sort of like this outfit... but, oh well, I changed my mind... let’s just throw this article of clothing on the dirty ass floor... To give you the benefit of the doubt... let’s say in an effort to place the item back on the rack, it happened to fall on the floor... I would imagine the next step would be to reach down, pick up the article, and place it back in its place, correct? However, if you were raised by a pack of rabid raccoons I could see how that concept may be confusing. Anecdotes aside, the next time “we men” are accused of having a propensity for making a mess, I will happily reference this photograph to showcase the debauchery that occurs in the women's department... or should I say kids department... #shopping #womensfashion #gross #growup #manners (at New York, New York)

I cringe at the prospect of today's youth. Especially after coming across scenes of this nature. Is it absolutely necessary to coddle today's children and our future generations? Is it absolutely necessary to make every life lesson or experience as easy and as comfortable as possible? Let's look at this picturesque scene of happiness and tranquility. "Oh how cute this is" and "what a wonderful time this will be". Allow me to recall my first haircut experience... if there's one obvious blatant difference, I was surely not seated in a leather apolstered miniature replica of a fire truck complete with working lights and fire truck paraphernalia. No. If I recall, I attended Micky's Barbershop, and no... not as in Mickey Mouse but more like the many barbershops that so many mafia henchman met untimely deaths while getting that much needed straight razor shave... I was nervous, I was apprehensive, I had a complete stranger with sharp edged weapons cutting off what I felt was my perfect blond locks rivaling Chris Hemsworth's appearance as Thor. While seated in a rather uncomfortable raised red cushioned arm chair with silver fixtures and foot rests to far for me to reach, I sat motionless, in complete fear of what might transpire next... snip, snip, snip... the portly barber gleefully chopped away while watching the wall mounted TV waving his scissors around in some nonchalant gesture discussing a story about a Tommy Healy character which everyone but me seemed to know. Needless to say I was less than amused or relaxed. But maybe if I would have been placed in a miniature fire truck, sang kumbaya, and was totally distracted from everything going on, I would have been just fine... Unfortunately I’ll take the portly barber, stories of Tommy Healy, and the real memory of my first haircut any day! #barbershop #haircut #youth #firetruck #life #experience #sorrynotsorry

I'd say 90% of the population like pizza. The other 10% could like scotch, or believe its an "aquired taste". So, which would you rather be? I'd choose the scotch. Being unique, different, refined, and working towards appreciating something sounds a lot better then some indistinguishable commodity. Not everyone has to like you... but not everyone has taste... #taste #pizza #scotch #pocketsquare (at The Penrose)

Just when you thought your day could get any worse, I was reminded of just how lucky we are - humans that is - while walking to the subway on a cold and frigid morning. Despite my predisposition to ignoring everything and everyone during my humdrum journey to work, on this particular occasion, my attention was diverted towards a large truck packed with yellow and blue plastic cages. At about 10ft from this odd scene I was hit with a rather peculiar smell, not bad neccessarily, but nonetheless unusal for the concrete jungle I call New York City. As I ventured closer there was quite a bit of cackling, cawing, and the racket you'd expect from an out-of-tune 6th grade band thrown together into the back of a pick-up truck. Between the lurid smell and incessant hullabaloo, I immediately recognized the bleak and slow motion movie unfolding before my eyes. Yes, it was indeed a truck filled with chickens. Chickens on their way to the Manahattan Live Chicken Market. This "market" resembled more of a garage that had been built during the depression and never got that needed Fixer Upper from Chip & Joanna Gaines. Needless to say the conditions, even for chickens, left a lot to be desired. But don't worry! This little dramatic and unsettling scene won't scare me into becoming a vegan nor will it cause me to boycott CountryLivings blog entitled "93 of the Most Delicious Things You Can Do With Chicken for Dinner", but I would argue that perhaps we could get those little guys a blanket for their cages or maybe even transport them in some climate controled conveyance while on their way to an untimely and inauspicious death. Even chickens deserve a little bit of respect... don’t they?! 🐣😢#chicken #whatsfordinner #nyc #market

From “Piernas Locas”, to the United States Marine Corps, to Intervention with Steve Aoki, and yes... getting my face on the wall at The Palm, it’s been a hell of a ride... But on this day I remember those who have served and are still serving. I’d give it all back to have another shot at Range 410 Alpha, or another deployment away from family and friends. So remember what got you here today and what made that possible... because it’s something we all have in common... a friend, a family member, or even a complete stranger, who has served, is serving, or will be forever watching over this great nation. #veteransday #freedom #thepalm #steveaoki #usa
