And so it begins.... again

I've had one of these things before and it lasted less than a post. It seems that halfway through writing that post (on evolution of all things) my mind wandered and I went off to play bocce ball or table croquet or something of that sort. But alas, I have found my way back and my mind shows promise for a future full of posts about meaningless (but possibley enjoyable) nonsense. As for the title of this blog, I can only say that a seedy adventure in Toronto, Chicago's evil cousin, led to the merging of these two quite possibly unrelated yet completely sensual and significant things. The mixing of a large consumption of alcohol and a total disregard for morality (and the unfortunate friendship with a pancake-loving Canadian) led four misguided (and coming-0f-age) youths to an Indian cab driver named Robbie, an Asian massage parlor with nothing visible in their waiting room but a television screening the movie pearl harbor, and the deliciously satisfying comfort of a bagel dressed in chicken salad. And though this author can say nothing more about the carnal activities that took place (let's just say the pancaked Canadian has a new respect for the lingo of the Vietnamese whore in Full Metal Jacket), he can say that he now acknowledges and respects the uncontrollable, desultory nature of life. And so, my blog shall convey just that…. but probably with a hint of animosity towards babies and half-Japanese women.
