Mushpa y Mensa’s New Baby

Ford E350 Step VanIsn’t she beautiful? What you want to see more pictures??? Just like any proud parents we have more don’t worry, click here!

Why did we get this beautiful ride you ask? Well for a few reasons, one, we do flea markets all over this great big city (NYC) and thus far have had to drag tents, tables, chairs, product, displays, etc on the NYC public transit system.  Don’t even ask how…but basically we have been, over the last few months, developing insane upper body strength. Don’t get me wrong that’s nice, but walking up and down a million flights of stairs, getting in a packed train, delays, drama and more drama….no thank you.

That’s reason one! Reason two, well I can’t get into too many details, but we have big ideas, plans, dreams and this step van is the vehicle we will be using to achieve them. I am the worst with secrets, so don’t worry you will know sooner than later. One way to know more is to subscribe to our fantastical newsletter!!! You know you want to stalk us!

Much love.

Heterosexual Gay Quote of the Day

Liberty and Justice For All
Liberty and Justice For All

I could be wrong, but I think heterosexual marriage is threatened more by heterosexuals. I don’t know why gay marriage challenges my marriage in any way.

Got Vine?

Awhile ago Mensa and I were watching Parks and Recreation. In this particular episode Ron Swanson is obsessed with getting off the grid. There is this one scene where he accidentally opens Vine on Tom’s tablet taping his 6.5 seconds moment of, “Erase all pictures of Ron” selfie. It’s hilarious.

Yesterday during a rather slow lunch I decided to do my first Vine selfie. Check it out HERE. Boom! LOL.

I can see what kind of fun is going to be had by Mushpa y Mensa with this new app. Follow us on Twitter if you want to make sure you don’t miss any going forward. ;]

You’re welcome!!!

John Lennon’s 1971 Interview with Rolling Stone

john lennon yoko ono

Rolling Stone: “Why can’t you be alone without Yoko?”

John Lennon: “I can be, but I don’t wish to be. There is no reason on earth why I should be without her. There is nothing more important than our relationship, nothing. We dig being together all the time, and both of us could survive apart, but what for? I’m not going to sacrifice love, real love, for any fucking whore, or any friend, or any business, because in the end, you’re alone at night. Neither of us wants to be, and you can’t fill the bed with groupies. I don’t want to be a swinger. Like I said in the song, I’ve been through it all, and nothing works better than to have somebody you love hold you.”

Word. :]
