About Me

1I am a New York-bred transplanted Californian who is now stuck on Long Island.

I've lived in New York since birth except from 1993-2006 when I lived in California. I should have never left... California, that is.

Buying and Selling on Empire Avenue

Buying and selling people. It’s almost like work. Read the blog. Buy the man. Buy for growth. e(MIKEYLITO)

Empire Avenue is like a chameleon that changes identities based on who is engaging with it. It is a social networking website that uses the meme of a stock market. Hence, the ad that I [...]

Living In The Truth

If you’ve ever seen any of my profiles up here in the cloud, there are two, maybe three, taglines that you’ll see on them.  Recently there’s been one about me being a transplanted Californian stuck on Long Island.  The original one is a thought I’ve always had; simply: “Perception is reality.”

In between [...]

Dwight Howard v. Orlando Sentinel

Dwight Howard "tweets" about the Orlando Sentinel.

One of my brethren in Clipper Nation posted this tweet and follow-up article this morning.

The No-Look Pass: Dwight Howard Just Wants To Chill

Speaking only for myself, I would love to see Dwight Howard in a Clippers uniform, although I wonder how many star power forwards one [...]

It Gets Better

I just saw this video and had to share it.  (And I don’t really care that it’s a browser ad.)

And so it goes.

Ciao for now! Mike

Sonic Drive-In Comes To Long Island

Wherever I have lived, I’ve always missed out on the Sonic Drive-In experience.  When I lived in Long Beach, the closest Sonic was in Anaheim.  When I lived in the Coachella Valley, the closest Sonic was in El Centro.   (Shortly after I left the valley, Sonic opened a location in Cathedral City.)

Long Beach Opens Bike Lanes

Saturday, my adopted hometown, Long Beach CA, opened separated bikeways on downtown one-way east-west thoroughfares.  Third Street and Broadway added what are called cycle tracks, physically separated bike lanes from vehicular traffic.  Long Beach’s bike lanes include separate traffic signals for bikes and cars to help each traffic pattern flow smoothly.

Good News: A Tale Of Instant Karma

Through no one’s fault but my own, I take public transportation — a bus — to and from work.  This evening was no different.  I had stopped at a supermarket near work to pick up the fixings for my homemade concoction of mochas and proceeded to the bus stop to head home.

While [...]

Seth Godin’s Theory Of Relativity

While cruising around the net, I happened upon this quote from a blog by Seth Godin, to wit:

A number isn’t who you are, and your status compared to other people isn’t how you’re doing.

I found it fascinating considering that many are enamored by services such as Klout and Empire Avenue, myself [...]

April Fool’s Day 2011

I didn't fall for any pranks on April Fool's Day, but apparently April is the month for pranks.

Saturday the 2nd, I was walking around the store with a fishbowl I was planning to return to the Pets Department. I stopped in the Toys Department to leave some instructions with my associates.
