My Strange Talent: Getting Women Pregnant
I was engaged to a girl a few years ago. We broke up and, within a year of separating, she was engaged and pregnant. I didn’t take most of the other relationships I had very seriously until last year when I fell for a girl in Chicago. We had an interesting relationship that lasted until February. I just received a call from a mutual friend telling me she is engaged and pregnant.
So tip to women: date me and you will soon get engaged and pregnant.
(PS: I’m super happy for both of them… REALLY! I wouldn’t have dated them for so long if I didn’t think that and I hope the best for them!)
Netflix keywords
I research about 12 hours of video each week (at least). Netflix seems to have noticed I like the following types of movies:
• Visually Striking
• Sexual Awakening
• Foreign
• Independent
• Dark
• Mind-Bending
• Cerebral
• Documentary
I wonder what that says about me… I am also curious what others are watching as well!
And, for fun, here are some films I have watched recently:
• Commune
• The Union: Business Behind Getting High
• Indie Sex: Extremes
• Inside Deep Throat
• The Cutting Edge: Magic of Movie Editing
• Valentino: The Last Emperor
• Lila Says
• The Battleship Potemkin
• Tokyo!

Skinny People
I saw my buddy, Lindsey, from Chicago this weekend at the galleries when we realized we both had lost some weight since last seeing each other about a month ago. I have casually been losing weight due to diet changes and a more active lifestyle but, after seeing this picture, I realize I have lost more than I thought. I decided that I am going to start working out again so that I will have a fit body and mind by my birthday (December 8th). I don’t have a scale and do not want one, I will be tracking my performance by endurance tests rather than numbers on a dial. My objective is to build muscle and lose fat as quickly, safely, and fun as possible! 
PS: Have fun in Australia, Lindsey! Bring me back a kangaroo!!!!

Collaboration Time with Cool Mike and the Superfriends
Double-D and me just after we shook an apple from the techno-tree
I remember when they added “Collaboration time” to our school schedule. I thought it was bogus. Now I find myself spending more time in collaboration meetings than ever before. Agencies, artists, models, stylists, musicians, designers, etc… I’ve only scratched the surface. So many people have so many ideas and I’m happy to get everyone working together on projects they couldn’t do if they stay stuck in their closed worlds. I make it my special point to meet a lot of people from different cliques and bring then together.
I had a gang when I lived in Portland, OR. The name was “Cool Mike and the Superfriends.” I briefly had a branch in Washington called “Cool Mike and the Do Gooders.” These posse’s were made up of people like Nitro, Supey, Fuego, Rad, and more. It consisted of party people, code monkeys, comedians, students, writers, entrepreneurs, and everyone else. Everyone had a Superfriend name and everyone had a special talent that could be leveraged by the group but no one was ever asked to use their talent, they just contributed. It was a secret society that we didn’t keep secret. It had its own lexicon and rhythm. Our goal was to have fun, be involved, and enjoy life as the coolest people in the world. The clan was cooler than celebrity, radder than travel, and richer than wealth. Disagreements were settled by “everyone chilling;” chilling worked every time. We never met any enemies except “the man” who we ended up consuming.
You were not officially part of the group until I could meet you, you were given your cool nickname (it’s a super technologically advanced process on how the names are created, so don’t ask!) and were given the secret handshake (yep, this was very 2nd grade!). It was all face to face so you didn’t know who was in the group until you shook their hand or were introduced to them by a friend.
I recently decided to bring back the Superfriends, this time in New York. New York is a global city so, basically, I decided to bring it to the world. I can see branches opening up in Asia and Europe as well as South America, Australia and Africa. Superfriends from the past are welcome to join back in the gang. New friends are already sprouting up and starting to connect.
Keep your eye out and enjoy the stuff we do.

Refresh
I lost one of my best friends today. I didn’t lose her to death, I lost her to life. It stings with one of those feelings that reminds you “We’re alive and we can never predict the future.”
