Style

Style is the answer to everything.
Fresh way to approach a dull or dangerous day.
To do a dull thing with style is preferable to doing a dangerous thing without style.
To do a dangerous thing with style, is what I call art.
Bullfighting can be an art.
Boxing can be an art.
Loving can be an art.
Opening a can of sardines can be an art.
Not many have style.
Not many can keep style.
I have seen dogs with more style than men.
Although not many dogs have style.
Cats have it with abundance.
When Hemingway put his brains to the wall with a shotgun, that was style.
For sometimes people give you style.
Joan of Arc had style. John the Baptist. Jesus. Socrates. Caesar. Napoleon. García Lorca.
I have met men in jail with style.
I have met more men in jail with style than men out of jail.
Style is a difference, a way of doing, a way of being done.
Six herons standing quietly in a pool of water, or you, walking out of the bathroom without seeing me.

(Charles Bukowski)

Travel Inspiration

I have good hopes to visit in 2010 the World reknown Napoleon House in New Orleans. Hoping to drink there to Napoleon and General Lasalle memory, either a great Cognac or a Mandarine Imperiale will do it….

Few places capture the essence of New Orleans like the Napoleon House: A 200 year old landmark.
The building’s first occupant, Nicholas Girod, was mayor of New Orleans from 1812 to 1815.  He offered his residence to Napoleon in 1821 as a refuge during his exile on Saint Helena.
Napoleon never made it, but the name stuck, and since then, the Napoleon House has become one of the most famous bars in America, a haunt for artists and writers throughout most of  the 20th century.

PS: thanks to Girl Friday for always showing me the cool places to go to…..
