There is a tide in the affairs of men,
Which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune
Observations, miscellany, etc

Observations:
- It is a truism that there is nothing more pathetic than an ageing hippy. Unless your name is "Keith" or "Mick", kindly cut your hair and make use of some soap.
- All you investment bankers, attorneys and software engineers who claim to work hard should see what life is like in Nepal as a labourer. The women who till the fields, or the men who haul dried goods on large bags strapped to their backs via their heads are real workers, unlike anything we know (thankfully) in the Western world.
- We listened to a wonderful band tonight, playing the greatest hits of Deep Purple, Bad Company, The Doors, Dire Straits, etc. Makes one reminisce about one's youth.
About me
- I'm Sunset Shazz
- Living the dream in Istanbul, Türkiye
- I grew up in the hardscrabble streets of suburban Ottawa, Ontario, committing petty crime, insulting the elderly - basically the classic misspent youth. When I was 19, I moved to West Philly, where I put myself through the Wharton School by dealing crack and hustling. After stints in Paris and London, I eventually graduated and moved to San Francisco, where I put in eight years hard labor working for The Man. But now I pop bottles with models, deciding cracked crab or lobster - who says mobsters don't prosper?
