Hell, half the reason I write this site is so people wont waste my time with stupid questions.
But that is neither here nor there.
This year again, I skipped New Years Eve, and instead plotted and schemed while everyone else was partying.
I also like making moves when others are playing. And play when others are working.
On New Years Day, I woke up early, Entered The Dragon and Gave Back to The People in the form of food for the homeless.
On the Dolo Creep. Custom Suited Down, of course, Champion of The People Style.
The interesting thing was after hanging with the homeless for a few hours, on my way back home, I had to take a piss so I went into a decently fly boutique hotel near my crib.
The contrast was striking: People without a care, slapping on I-phones and I-pads like monkeys with no idea of the world around them.
I am not sure what this all means, but it did have an effect on me.
Giving back to The People always does.
It is a real soulful expeirence and I recommend it for all the younger G’s out there getting into “The Life”
A Subtle Way To Prevent Girls From Falling Too Hard For You
In the past, we covered How to Un-Pick up Girls. (Mad Innovative and futuristic. Even most “top” players will only start incorporating those moves in 5-7 years).
Here is a move straight out of The Chambers of The G Manifesto to prevent girls from falling too hard for you:
One way to stop this from happening is to tell girls after you swoop them, that you “hate” celebrating holidays.
You see, girls are completely brainwashed by society and “love” holidays.
Ever met a girl that didn’t absolutely love the holidays? Yeah, me neither. They don’t exist.
Telling a girl that you “hate” holidays is somewhat like telling a little kid that the Easter Bunny isn’t real; it blows their whole foundation up.
After the shock waves settle, girls start viewing you as “not relationship material”, which is exactly what you want them to think.
And let’s face it, American Holidays are weesh.
Lets’ break a few of them down:
New Year’s Day/Eve – If you really want to party, you don’t need society to tell you when. And it’s better to do it on a day when every dork is partying and The Police State is in full force. New Years Eve very well could be the only night of the year where I won’t go out at night.
Thanksgiving Day – I like turkey as much as the next cat, and I love mashed potatoes like any good half Irish kid does, but I can have a big meal with my family anytime.
Christmas Day – If you really want to give a gift to someone, you can do it August 1st. Or March 12th. Or…you get the broken picture.
April Fool’s Day – Kind of funny. Also, kind of tired.
Chinese New Year – Maybe would be smooth if you were in Hong Kong or Macau or somewhere. In America? Weesh.
Cinco de Mayo – Phony holiday created by the beer companies. And I can’t stand Tequila (drank a whole bottle to the brain as a kid and I still can’t even smell the stuff). I will pass like Jim McMahon.
Halloween – If you are a “Monster” like Cody, everyday is Halloween.
St. Patrick’s Day – Green beer? Come on. And this is from someone who’s Father was born in Northern Ireland. Belfast.
Valentine’s Day – Might be the worst of the bunch.
Any questions?
This all being said, I do dig holidays in foreign countries. I love the week-long Spanish Festivals in Summertime. However, America is such a Police State that outside of Mardi Gras, we don’t have any week-long, all-night party holidays.
New York City: Nightclub and Restaurant Data Sheets
In October, I had the pleasure of hitting up New York City again. It had been awhile. Place is still fresh.
Here are my favorite spots to hit up like a jay of Northern Lights #5.
Dream Hotel -355 West 16th Street
Ill spot. Rooftop is dope. So is the lounge. Might be hard to get in, I was with a Model girl so entry was academic.
Kenmare – 98 Kenmare St
Ripped this spot from pillar to post. Met and swooped fly Model girl I went with to above spot. Heard it closed from my contacts for a bit since I went.
The Darby – 244 West 14th Street
Pretty good. Pretty good. Like Mekhi Phifer says in 8 Mile.
El Castillo De Jagua – 113 Rivington St
Old school favorite of mine for a grind.
Les Enfants Terribles – 37 Canal Street
Another move I like.
La Esquina – (F*ck the address thing. Look it up yourself. I am kicking the solid gold sh*t. You can do some of the work.)
Dope spot. Models. Can you dig it?
Pegu –
Cocktail spot. Some swoops to be had. To the brain.
Jane Hotel –
Decent.
Smile
Decently good.
Raouls –
Love this spot. I would marry it, if I believed in marriage. But I don’t. Still, the steak tartare, cocktails, and conversation (and swoops) are worth their weight in Gold Eagle Coins.
Balthazar
Love this place for lunch. And Dinner. And I probably would love it for breakfast if I was ever up that early. Hell, I would spend 24 hours a day here if they would let me. A perfect restaurant. Hell, even the water temperature of the tap water they serve you is perfect. Steak tartare go off, non-stop.
Cipriani
No restaurant in America has as many stunningly beautiful girls per capita. Like the downstairs. Love the upstairs. It’s on like Vietnam.
Casa Mono
For my comida Espanola fix. And I need that fix more than a heron addict needs heron.
Mercat
Tambien.
Grammercy Tavern
Love this spot. Real illmatic.
Mondrian Hotel Bar
Good for early night swoops and warm up cocktails. You like “warm up cocktails” right?
Yonah Schimmel’s Knishes Bakery
Old school favorite.
Spice Market
Still smooth.
Mercer Kitchen
Dope.
Lure Fish Bar
Good for a “transition cocktail” and a swoop.
Mercer Hotel
Yeah, yeah.
Soho Grand Hotel
Still kreeg. (That’s Kauai slang for those that don’t know)
Daniel
Grinds.
Del Posto
Grinds.
Minetta Tavern
If this place was an Exotic Dancer, I might even spring for a lap dance. Maybe.
Blue Hill
I am down.
60 Thompson Hotel
Yeah.
Circa Tabac
One word: Grits
Café Boulud
Word up.
Blue Ribbon
Down like King Kong. And Donkey Kong. And I drop Game bombs.
Pastis
If this place was a beek, I would snort it.
Lizarran
Some of my people don’t like it, but they roll out the red carpet for your humble author. Could be the Custom Suit. Could be the fat Bankroll. Or the winning personality. Not sure which one. Hard to track. Do I care? No.
Eleven Madison Park
I will pay for the bill, and float a heavy tip.
Lombardis Pizza
Great mid-day grind, while dissing that weesh actor guy from HBO’s Entourage.
Russ And Daughters
Come on? Place is straight grindy.
Katz Deli
Russ And Daughters or Katz? Great question. I think I will split time 50-50. And I don’t mean that spot in Miami Beach either.
Per Se
Tom Keller delivers on the Eastside.
Osteria Morini
Mid-day bar grind? For sure.
Jean-Georges Restaurant
Word.
Le Bernardin
Especially for fresh seafood on a Monday. One of the few places I will eat seafood on a Monday.
21 Club
My friend has this place on lock. I have to admit I am kind of jealous.

Here is a little breakdown for 2012 by the cat who basically predicted the Occupy Wall Street Movement:
One megatrend looms on the near horizon. And we forecast that when it strikes, it will be a shock felt around the world. Hyperbole it’s not! Our research has revealed that at the very highest levels of government this megatrend has been seriously discussed. Read on:
1. Economic Martial Law: Given the current economic and geopolitical conditions, the central banks and world governments already have plans in place to declare economic martial law … with the possibility of military martial law to follow.
2. Battlefield America: With a stroke of the Presidential pen, language was removed from an earlier version of the National Defense Authorization Act, granting the President authority to act as judge, jury and executioner. Citizens, welcome to “Battlefield America.”
3. Invasion of the Occtupy: 15 years ago, Gerald Celente predicted in his book Trends 2000 that prolonged protests would hit Wall Street in the early years of the new millennium and would spread nationwide. The “Occtupy” is now upon us, and it is like nothing history has ever witnessed.
4. Climax Time: The financial house of cards is collapsing, and in 2012 many of the long-simmering socioeconomic and geopolitical trends that Celente has accurately forecast will come to a climax. Some will arrive with a big bang and others less dramatically … but no less consequentially. Are you prepared? And what’s next for the world?
5. Technocrat Takeover: “Democracy is Dead; Long Live the Technocrat!” A pair of lightning-quick financial coup d’états in Greece and Italy have installed two unelected figures as head of state. No one yet in the mainstream media is calling this merger of state and corporate powers by its proper name: Fascism, nor are they calling these “technocrats” by their proper name: Bankers! Can a rudderless ship be saved because technocrat is at the helm?
6. Repatriate! Repatriate!: It took a small, but financially and politically powerful group to sell the world on globalization, and it will take a large, committed and coordinated citizens’ movement to “un-sell” it. “Repatriate! Repatriate!” will pit the creative instincts of a multitude of individuals against the repressive monopoly of the multinationals.
7. Secession Obsession: Winds of political change are blowing from Tunisia to Russia and everywhere in between, opening a window of opportunity through which previously unimaginable political options may now be considered: radical decentralization, Internet-based direct democracy, secession, and even the peaceful dissolution of nations, offering the possibility for a new world “disorder.”
8. Safe Havens: As the signs of imminent economic and social collapse become more pronounced, legions of New Millennium survivalists are, or will be, thinking about looking for methods and ways to escape the resulting turmoil. Those “on-trend” have already taken measure to implement Gerald Celente’s 3 G’s: Gold, Guns and a Getaway plan. Where to go? What to do? Top Trends 2012 will guide the way.
9. Big Brother Internet: The coming year will be the beginning of the end of Internet Freedom: A battle between the governments and the people. Governments will propose legislation for a new “authentication technology,” requiring Internet users to present the equivalent of a driver’s license and/or bill of health to navigate cyberspace. For the general population it will represent yet another curtailing of freedom and level of governmental control.
10. Direct vs. Faux Democracy: In every corner of the world, a restive populace has made it clear that it’s disgusted with “politics as usual” and is looking for change. Government, in all its forms – democracy, autocracy, monarchy, socialism, communism – just isn’’t working. The only viable solution is to take the vote out of the hands of party politicians and institute Direct Democracy. If the Swiss can do it, why can’t anyone else?
11. Alternative Energy 2012: Even under the cloud of Fukushima, the harnessing of nuclear power is being reinvigorated by a fuel that is significantly safer than uranium and by the introduction of small, modular, portable reactors that reduce costs and construction time. In addition, there are dozens of projects underway that explore the possibility of creating cleaner, competitively priced liquid fuels distilled from natural sources. Plan to start saying goodbye to conventional liquid fuels!
12. Going Out in Style: In the bleak terrain of 2012 and beyond, “Affordable sophistication” will direct and inspire products, fashion, music, the fine arts and entertainment at all levels. US businesses would be wise to wake up and tap into the dormant desire for old time quality and the America that was.
