TRANSCENDING DECADNCE

Today I woke up to a burnt back and face, so I decided to head on over to the beach to burn some more. The waters felt like swimming in a large bucket of ice. I tried to utilize my naturally gifted athletic talents, but found that my forty year old body denied me the courtesy and instead froze under the conditions, placing me in a near catonitc state, fully exposed to the elements of Poseidon which sought out and attempted to drown me.

I was unlucky in my attempts to punch sharks in the face, as they cowered in hiding spots far away from my locale. Also, I ate a lot of lobster. Also, I bought more trinkets.

Because I’m traveling with my fucking dog, I mostly eat in the streets like a hobo. Tonight I had takeout in the streets from a Michelin rated eatery. It was delightful, in a bohemian way.

I see the stock market ripped higher again. Naturally, all of you are very excited. After all, this is your shot to break free from the chains of mediocrity and a middled class life. The market is your tit and the Federal Reserve is feeding you a rather intoxicating blend of milk and honey.

Ever wonder why regulations and high taxes never hurt those entrenched in power, meaning big business? It’s their moat. Along the same lines, just know, ‘they’ don’t want you to get rich. They want you slaving in the onion patch, beguiled and bewitched by the specter of riches. Like Captain Flint, they prefer that you chase the dream, indefinitely, for it keeps you docile and makes you think that you’re part of them. By the time you had the chance to figure out the ruse, you’re tired and old and uninterested in raiding the castle with pitched forks.

Be careful buying into crazy faced rallies, heading into September.

Tomorrow I depart back to Princeton, following a brief stop or two so that I might saunter and bedevil local merchants with ruffian styled negotiation tactics. I hope you’ve been enjoying the site while I’ve been away. The Option Addict hastens to make as much money as humanly possible, via prescient picks. RAUL get his Fox News on still. And Ragin Cajun is dealing with a city in ruins.

We used to have many writers at the site, some of which I truly enjoyed reading. But all things end, especially in blogging.

To that end, just know, “The Fly” is everlasting, the evergreen in a field of rotten midget trees. I cast my shadow far and wide, placing all other finance writers in the ‘fag box‘, to wallow and wither away–like morons riding horseback, harried into the middle of a fucking tornado.

    I always knew you were young but when you said you were 40 it stopped me for a bit. Can’t believe you had a kid at 20, basically. Although I would have guessed you were 42. And I think that’s funny since it’s so close. 40 seems old to me still dude.

    I was a kid when I found this blog. Jumped in hot and fast and starter handing out the balance of my piker account. 35 year old “grown ass man” now.

    So this is a college preview trip? Have you sized up the other dads?

    No, I always take a trip to NE during summer. Typically, I go to Newport. This year I tried someplace different. People are vulgar here.

    35 is a shitty age. You still try to hang onto your youth, almost pathetically. Once you hit 40, the matrix becomes clear.

    Great post Fly.
    Was in Kennebunkport a couple weeks ago, got the feeling that whole dream up there is about to be abandoned by the next generation.

    The baby boomers’ dream is now For Sale. Who wants to buy it?

    Quit whining about being 40. Look at Laird Hamilton (born March 2, 1964) Riding Giants, or Lynn Hill (January 3, 1961) Valley Uprising. Granted they are at the top end of a normal curve but there are a lot of people between mid point and the top end. I was surfing 12 foot faces at sixty three and I’m no athlete.
