Yosef Karduner in the Heights

I just came back from the Yosef Karduner concert that was being held at the Mt. Sinai Jewish Center in Washington Heights on 187th St and Bennett Ave. Normally, I detest Jewish music, mostly the Yeshivish Shwekey type, because it all sounds the same, and everyone wants to sound like Shwekey who sucks to begin with. I'm pretty sure all fans of that genre of Jewish music come from Five Towns. Fair Generalization? Yes? No?



However, Yosef Karduner is a tzaddik and a beautiful musician. His music is so crisp and his voice is so uplifting. Aside from that, he's a Breslover, and I'm huge into that. A lot of his lyrics are from Likutei Moharan or Likutei Halachos.

I recorded about an hour of the concert for everyone's viewing pleasure. I'll probably upload all 18 videos tomorrow. I would have stayed a little longer, but one of my friends who lives on the Upper West Side leaves all of his hockey shit in my apartment for his games in the Muss basement gym.

It sort of seems that he is starting to create a trend. I went to a HIM concert last December at the Nokia Theatre, and I had to leave about 30 minutes before the show was over because he couldn't stand their music. He's cute.

On another note- I feel like I'm slacking off in school. Midterms started this week, and I really don't have so much work. But, just because everyone else is freaking out and I'm not I feel like I'm not doing something right- maybe I'm too relaxed about everything? Maybe I should be freaking out too? I have been skipping class the past few days though. I'm just getting really sick of school. It's definitely time for a break.

Oh, and this morning I went climbing with Yatzi. I don't know HOW I managed to get myself in this position, but it hurt. It's kinda Greek God-ish according to Yatzkov. Eh.

Oh, so Jews Are Poisoning the Wells Again? Er...Not Really

If Piggy Flu wasn't enough check this out. Mumps outbreaks in Lakewood (30 ish) and Boro Park (50 ish). Yay! And who's got it? THE JEWS! My guess is that most of the kids who have it never got vaccinated partly because the private yeshivas don't always require immunization records. Or...we're in desperate need of teshuva.

I'm actually in Boro Park now. I work at a home for disabled individuals. I hope to God they have all had vaccines for Measles. Then again, vaccines don't prevent getting the disease 100%. It sort of just protects you a little bit. Check Wikipedia out for Mumps. It's pretty scary.

Don't let anyone breathe on you in the subways... Yucky

Gut Voch :)

Guido LOOVES Wasabi

Whoa! Guido and Stevo have more in common than the fact that their names rhyme! Next time I'll get him to snort it..

So, it's winter in New York City. And....it's still the middle of October. I have been here for four years, and normally the heat continues to cook the city well into the middle of November. I must say that the summer months are probably the most dreadful. I'm from South Florida, and the heat here in NYC makes Century Village look like a penguin lagoon with shuffle board strips and golf carts crashing into palm trees. If you haven't been in the 181st subway station in the middle of July (Or a typical October) then you don't know what hot is. Waiting for the 1 Train on that damn platform in the heat, which is for sure above 110 degrees, is a guaranteed hallucinatory trip right into the electrified third cable. What I'm trying to say is that the weather here has been great.

So, it's pretty clear that Obama's Change has yet to come. Actually, that's not true. He's going to change America into a third world communist cesspool. Not because he's black. I'm not a racist, but my grandparents are. If they weren't Jewish I'm convinced that all of their bed sheets would be white. I hate speaking to them about Obama, because no matter which of his plans we speak about it always comes back to the fact that he's a Muslim operative planted in the White House. Why are old people so against Socialism? And Black People?



Oh, and we know that he's terrible for Israel. But, does that really matter? Shouldn't the fate of Israel be in the hands of the Jewish people alone? Maybe it is. Oh, and Obama is the Anti-Christ, supposedly...
