]]> Comment on Bodega Down: Top 13 Bodega Foods ca. 1990-1997 by Ulina http://tishon.com/blog/top-13-bodega-foods-ca-1990-1997/comment-page-1#comment-437 Ulina Sun, 25 Apr 2010 18:38:55 +0000 http://tishon.com/blog/?p=109#comment-437 I've only been living here for about 3 years but most of the "bodegas" in Jersey City are a front for liquors stores. At least the ones in my area. They carry 20% food and grocery and then 80% alcohol. I'm from the Bronx and your list is similar to mine execpt I would put Quarter waters at number one, say Winterfresh/ Juicy fruit because Winter fresh came out around '94. I would remove pickle in a bag, Charleston chew, pineapple soda, rap snack and replace them with Butter Crunch Cookies, 50 cents juices/soda, Hostess Cupcakes and Swiss Cake Rolls. Not necessarily in that order. I would also add Italian ices. The ones that came in the cup you had to scoop it out with a small flat wooden stick. :-) I’ve only been living here for about 3 years but most of the “bodegas” in Jersey City are a front for liquors stores.

I not sure how much I'm allowed to say about it, but it's an identity project that involves transportation, and the letter "T". I had sketched (http://www.shanekeaney.com/images/t_sketch.jpg) something similar before going in different directions. (and yes that's lined paper I was using, I have know idea why) -s Whoa crazy, I just worked on a similar project a few weeks ago.

But since i'm not a bike dork (yet) I didn't realize it was a revamped version of an existing logo. And Goldman Sachs could use a facelift too... I like the finger idea.

I think it's the mark of a conscious person to realise that as long as we are involved intentionally in our decisions, we all want this: our work may be our families, our friends, our spiritual nature, our health, et cetera, though we immediately assume "career" as the epitome of the "work" idea. For some of us, our desires and intentions find home in our career, and this is true for Glaser, hence (career)-work as the ideal. But wouldn't all of us wish to do, every day, what we love and is important to us, until we die? Sadly, not enough of us make our intentions or desires clear, even to ourselves, in order to find what is our "work" that we'd be happy to die doing. And that's my two cents. more lovin for glaser! yes.

And for me the answer is definitely NO! I'm always amazed when someone hits it big, earning enough money for a lifetime and instead of using that financial freedom to explore other interests, or directly help people, whatever, they just start another company and continue working 60 hours a week. My theory is the harder and more you work the more you become your work. At a certain point your lost, and while it that can make it easy to "love" work, I wonder how much of it is actual inspired living, and how much is a comfortable pattern you can not, or do not, want to break out of. Even if one's cranking out cool shit. I think we glorify work way too much in our society. That said, it's Milton's prerogative, I just don't get. This is something I often think about.

I think of it as my life." As you said, he absolutely enjoys what he does. I'm not sure i buy it though. Yes there are gratifying moments but to the point of wanting to die in the midst of work? Thanks but I think i'll take that bahamas cruise you mentioned! At least he didn't try to answer the question "what does it take to succeed?" Some successful people dish out these vague, semi-inspirational nonsense when asked this question so i appreciate that he was clear about there being no set recipe. “I don’t think of work as my job.
