CRaPUSA / Cynical Ridiculous and Pathetic, aka "A Bronx Boy" Why CRaPUSA ? This has been my platform for many years, writing about just fun and offbeat everything. I had a blast, until I got bored a year or so ago. Well, with the political climate, Covid, and general conditions world wide, I thought it was time to get back to my roots. I was born and raised in the Bronx, NY. Therefore, I am a Bronx Boy, which in my mind gives me the right to rant whenever I desire. So, hold on.
What are they doing to us ? Why do they deem it fit to take away the last of the public display of sexiness that still exists ? Why can't they just leave well enough alone ?
There is not a adult male in the world that doesn't enjoy taking a peek at beauty. There is no one in his right mind that will not take a quick peek at a great pair of young sexy legs, or a great start of a wonderful tush, or anything about a sexy young lady. We love it, and let's not kid ourselves.....Most females love being looked at just as much. It's not a bad thing and it certainly does not hurt anyone. In fact, I have to believe it makes for a better world, a more relaxed and comfortable environment. So why the fuck are some people trying to ruin this ?
Why are they insisting on taking away that little bit of skin along with that wonderful bikini view from us ? Isn't the world in enough of a turmoil without adding to it ? Why are companies like Trendy Tops trying to ruin it for most normal, red blooded American men ?????
What is next ? Will some company make pull down shades attached to the front of skirts and dresses for the sole purpose of getting out of a car or some such other act of movement ?
Is side boobs and the old side boob look also a thing of the past ?
Will another Un-American company come along and make a retractable awning to eliminate this wonderful view made popular by Hollywood ? All these questions and no answers.
If you got it, flaunt it.. Nothing Un-American about a little honest advertising.
My own personal opinion is that we are being unduly attached by clothing companies trying to invoke a major cover up on things we like to look at and discuss, as well as things that just make our day just a little bit more bearable (note the pun).
Please don't let this happen. Let sexy women be sexy.
New York in the 70's was probably the most exciting time for a young, good looking, straight guy with a good job and some good drugs to really party. (Was that me??? ) It was a time before Aids, a time of crime, a time of filth in the city, a time of corruption, a time of cocaine, a time of homeless people in the streets, a time for disco, and a time to party on. I was fortunate to be living in the City then, making a little money, had the availability for drugs and liked to have fun. I was in between wives and thought I was really hot shit at that time.
I am probably giving a little too much information now, and maybe should just keep some of this to myself, but know that I was obviously not the only person who did all this. Actually I don't really know if I want my daughter to know this, but it's a little late now. With about 8 million people living in the city then, I am sure there are many of you that experienced some, if not all of what I did. Being single I went out probably 6 nights a week but always managed to stay home on Saturday, or the entire weekend ,especially if I was lucky enough to have custody of my kids that weekend.
The week days were usually pretty much the same. Work till 6, walk home (how lucky to be living in the city), spend an hour at my rooftop pool and gym, then take a power nap, and wahoo. Time to go out. Take some ludes in the right pocket and some coke in the left. What could be better ? Or so I thought . Meet someone for dinner, do drugs, have sex, go to sleep about 3 or 4 am, and off to work by 7am. Don't know how I did it then, but I did. Of course there was always time for tennis, sports events at the garden, or the stadium, shows, museums, business dinners and whatever. And when I say whatever, I mean whatever.
Which leads me up to one of the wildest and strangest happenings in NY. The opening of Plato's Retreat. Look at the video below, which clearly describes this whatever you want to call it. Remember now, this was many years ago, and New York was crazy and untamed then.
By now you are thinking that I am a complete degenerate, but that is not true. Plato's had very strict rules that had to be observed. There were only straight and lesbian's permitted and you had to have a partner to get in. This was in what is today one of the most expensive buildings in NY, and was once home to the Continental Baths. I could go on explaining everything, but these links make for some good, fun, reading about what was, and will never be again. I did go there once or twice, but probably more so to be able to say that I went there. The reality is this was the second location. The first one was on 34 Th. St. and 10 Th. Ave which was really seedy, but then it moved uptown. Success has a way of making things take on a life of it's own.
If pictures speak a thousand words, then I am speechless now. That's all gone now. Gone are the days of Sex, Drugs, and Rock and Roll. (Maybe not) I am not quite sure why I felt the need to write and share this. I think it was flipping forward and looking at a bunch of blogs the other day. I said to myself that if I see another blog with ugly kids, with the &(*+& Family, with John and Jane camping, with nothing but ugly people telling their boring story of Gloria's 3rd birthday party, Bob's first bike ride, Harold and Maude going to church, on and on and on, I might just kill myself.
The End of Plato's
I just had to share Plato's and a little bit of old New York Disco history to those few people that might either remember it, or try to wonder what it would have been like to experience it. Check out the links above as it is really interesting.
This has been a really strange few weeks for me. I have been working on several projects that seem to be going nowhere, have been carefully watching what I eat to increase my 25 pound weight loss to the next level and have been having more sex than I have in some time. Maybe that is TMI, but I have to think this getting back into shape is the reason for all of this.
I have also been having more then normal amount of sexual dreams. Sometimes I don't even know where reality ends and dreams begin. Don't get me wrong, as I certainly am not complaining about the dreams. Actually, it's sort of like watching porn without sitting in front of the computer. I have always had some really great sex dreams, but lately they seem to be a continuation or beginning of things that are actually going on in my life.
Guys seem to always daydream and those dreams seem to always be about sex. I must be so different, because I seem to store mine up and wait until I am nice an comfortable in my own bed. If I am lucky enough to have someone on the other side of the bed these dreams do not occur. It's like I am forced to purchase expensive tickets for this very erotic sex show.
I have done a little research on this....(like any fucking idiot in the world can't google it like I did, and call it research ? )..........Well, I am happy to say that I am completely normal....Whew....I was really worried for a while.
I guess I shouldn't really complain about any of this. I have seen some girls that have disappeared on me before and seem to come back into my life the following year. There are a few of them right now and I am smart enough to realize the fact that they will be gone just as fast as they came....It seems bf's don't work out, separations happen, and probably more than anything is the fact that all females are fucken crazy bat shit.....That is excluding your mother and your daughters.... (I am also sure the same it true in reverse).
At least you now know the real reason why I haven't written in a while....Don't worry, I am sure this dream will end soon and I will be back to finding everything Cynical, Ridiculous, and Pathetic.
Football or Sex ????? The choices we are forced to make.......Actually, I am exhausted so no posting until tomorrow.... Sorry for the tease.............
Have a wonderful day and a wonderful Crap. Taking a rain day and will see you tomorrow. Besides, I have nothing to bitch about today except of course for that idiot Brooklyn Assemblyman Felix Ortiz, who wants to ban Salt from all restaurant cooking......Yes.....this is really true. Is this anything like second hand smoke ? I think Mr. Ortiz needs to be sent to the Siberian Salt Mines to do more research on this subject.
Oh......The British Medical Journal found that men were more interested in sex than women. Duh....Duh....Duh..... Until more Crap tomorrow.
