How accurate some words thrown together can be.

You may need to pay attention to your ambition now or you could be dealing with unnecessary drama. Between the Full Moon tomorrow and the fact that she's in your sign all weekend, you won't be able to easily stabilize your moods. Stay emotionally flexible and be open to the voice of your intuition. Your inner guidance won't get you into trouble unless you decide to override it with calculated logic.

The saga continues, the guy is actually funny...like a clown! Here is his response to my professional email about photographing his scrotum. I'm sure there is no need to reiterate my response, since he so tastefully quoted mine. Enjoy!

Well Reena, I’m sorry. Sometimes I let my humor get the best of me, and this time even I feared I may have gone too far. In my defense, you emailed a real estate broker to advance your career and assumed that you had reached a hotel. What may have seemed like a normal email for a hotel to receive was quite unusual for us as we are only interested in selling condo hotels, not art. I also noticed that you did not provide a phone number. Rather unbusinesslike, don’t you think? Had you, I might have picked up the phone and simply told you that your inquiry was misdirected. You got to admit that it was thoughtful of me to give you any response at all considering the nature of my business and your inquiry, huh? I mean I did tell you that I don’t have the contacts you wanted, so give me credit for that.



I’ve got to tell you that you’ve given me the best laugh of the day, and for that I thank you. I love this opening line. “I am neither interested in your failed comic career or your scrotum.” Classic! Of course, if you got to know me better, you might care to here some of my better jokes. J



Now, allow me to address some of your other comments:



You said, “I wrote a serious email to an organization with a reputation and many possible business endeavors.” What do you know about my reputation? It happens to be one of being a sarcastic, wiseass who gives timely responses. I’d like to believe I lived up to that.



“I was appalled that a grown man would write to a complete strange women like that, unless you are used to talking to women that way.” Again, forgive me, but I did not know you were a strange woman when I wrote to you. I’m only getting a feel for that now.



“As for you stage fright at the urinal, that sounds like a serious personal problem that you should seek help for.” Good advice. My therapist said I should channel my energies into my writing. Maybe I should replace her.



“but if you would like to have your "scrotum" hanging in a a well established museum, I would be glad to photograph that for you...for a nominal fee.” I’d like to know what your rate schedule would be for such a request, and is it based on the scrotum as a hole or per inhabitant? Could you tell me what your competitors charge so I can shop rate and compare artistic presentations.



“You have presented yourself as a perverted old man who can not take business seriously and I hope this is not the way you treat all business endeavors.”
Old? 42 is the new 27, and I won’t reach that level of maturity for at least another 8-10 years, so stop name calling.

His Response

Seriously, I was just having a little bit of fun with you. Wasn’t trying to be disgusting, but I admit I went a little too far. On the other hand, I find it hard to believe that you can offend anyone who surfs the net these days with an indecent reference. It’s not like I attached photos.



I’m sorry, but at least my reputation is still in tact.

Is this appropriate for a TRUMP employee?

I decided i would reach out with my artwork and contact the New Trump Hotel going up right now in Dubai. Here is what I wrote to the person who represnnts this hotel:

MY LETTER TO THE MANAGEMENT OF THE TRUMP HOTEL IN DUBAI


Hi,
I am a fine art photographer that has invented my own process. It is new, innovative, and will be perfect to decorate a brand new lavish hotel such as yours. I also work for an advertising agency in NYC working with interactive recruitment. Having said this, I I have a lot to offer to a new and thriving hotel in a city that is flourishing.

Do you happen to have an art buyer or someone I can get in contact with to present my work to? I am very interested in the new and upcoming industry in Dubai, so please don't hesitate to contact me. Thank you for you time and consideration.

Sincerely,
Reena Nemirovsky
Fine Art Photographer/Campaign Implementation Specialist



THIS IS HIS RESPONSE:



Reena, I do not have the connections you seek, but I would like to be considered as your next model.

Although I've sold real estate for 21 years now, I always felt that I was a frustrated comic that would have been a good stand up if it weren't for my fear of public speaking. Alternatively, I always thought that I could be a great nude model, if it weren't for the stage fright I get when others stand next to me at a urinal.

I'm hoping that you can bring me out of my shell, give me a chance to face my fears and one day, have a photograph of myself, spread eagle, welcoming the guests at the Trump Palm Jumeirah in Dubai. Who knows? With your process and my sexy 42 year old body, one day a replica of my scrotum could be hanging in the Louvre or the Guggenheim. Tell me what you think.

to blog about!!!!

The amount of thoughts, wonders and visual ideas going through my mind is very hard to process. So many comical, outrageous, crazy, and unbelievable things have been happening all at once, one after another.

Once again, I will just have to settle for an outline of some things on my mind. If i were to go into detail, not only would it bore everyone reading this, but would take up the entire Internet....and that's just today.

--Paris Hilton. I wake up in the morning and turn on the Today Show, a real time broadcast informing me of current events, traffic weather, and GOSSIP...oh yeah, and sometimes health stuff.(things that may be true now, but will change soon enough). For the second week in a row, i see that there is constant coverage of Paris Hilton and how she can't face the fact that she has to be treated like a real human. As i watch her sad face plastered all over the news, there is a small article in the paper about 3 US soldiers that were being held hostage. How many people knew that? How many people knew that they are presumed dead? How many people really care when we have Paris to worry about? I can go on beyond this, but my sympathy for Paris is overwhelming me to move on.

--"Are you Smarter Than A Fifth Grader. New reality show hosted by Jeff Foxworthy. Adults come on this show as a mockery to themselves and modern day society. What does it show that a grown person (i.e. a teacher and a rocket scientist!!!) can not answer a question that a fifth grader can.

--Umbrellas. People are so obsessed with their hair, their clothes and their possessions that they completely disregard all others around them. When it rains, I see everyone get out their umbrellas, which happens to directly correlate to their personalities and style. Umbrellas range from the $5 black standard, which happens to have a flip inside out time of about 30 seconds, all the way to the Mercedes of all umbrellas...the double decker if you will. Funny thing is, if you don't know how to man an umbrella, it doesn't matter how good it is. For example, I saw a man crossing in front of 42nd street (in direct traffic) and his deluxe umbrella flips inside out, making him lose control of everything. Did i mention he was in the middle of the street? So, here is this business man, with the best umbrella money can buy and yet, he is almost killed because he's not factoring in the wind!!!!

--Technology has made most of the popular culture stupid.

--My mind is running in a million circles, obsessively contemplating everything from work to life to what it all really means.

--I wrote an email to the Trump Hotel in Dubai and received a ridiculous response. I need input on that before i explode this nonsense on the Internet.

--New job starting on Monday! That means that this blog must look good, it's needs organization, a common thread, or FOLDERS!!! Organization is my life, even though it may seem and fell chaotic, organization is what keeps me going. Clutter in your house, clutter in your life. So much to learn, so much to do

--Art Show at John Allen's.



so you think you can dance brings me to tears
