"As A Wise Man Once Said": 1001 Quotations Worth Reading

Christopher McCarthy was born and raised in the Bronx-bred to be the biggest Yankee fan on the planet. Fighting against the grain of his working-class family's proud influence, he became a lawyer and moved to Boston for his dream job. What he ended up finding, was his dream girl. Angela Bambino, a struggling ER Nurse, was born and raised in Boston-bred to be the biggest Red Sox fan on the planet. Despite the mounting list of reasons why they could never work romantically, Chris and Angela find they have two very important things in common: their love of a historic American pastime and their legitimately insane families. Believing they have what it takes to overcome their bitter fandoms, clashing careers, and dysfunctional families, the couple embark on the relationship of a lifetime, eventually leading to their announcement to all of their intention to marry.After months of fending off resistance, sports rage, and jealousy from family, coworkers, and friends, the exhausted couple's love is nearly destroyed. On the eve of their wedding, Chris and Angela's selfish families once again try tearing the couple apart with everything they've got, when a miracle occurs, leaving both sides of the rivalry in utter disbelief, though united, in an unforgettable moment time itself couldn't rival.A Yankee Red Sox Wedding embraces an ironic, at times poignant tone, injecting a clever range of metaphorical and satirical humor discretely throughout. In addition to its humor, romantic quality, and social commentary, it asks whether one can indeed master his or her own destiny, versus surrendering to a socially prescribed, pre-existing fate. It's about relationships, self-identity, and following one's conscience in battling life's obstacles-win or lose.

You're a cunt (The merry-go-round of misery)

Based on a true story, "You're a cunt (The merry-go-around of misery)" is a true depiction of this writer experience over the years in what also could be termed as a sick twisted horror show, the only difference is that this was real life in front of a person's eyes and not on a screen that you could walk away from once the film or movie ended. "You're a cunt (The merry-go-round of misery)" is a tragic comedy and a dark story of a group of people from all walks of life who were all very successful in their chosen fields at some stage of life, only to fall from grace consumed by their addictions and spin into a tail spin of destruction. They are thrust together not by faith but by their desire to maintain the demands placed on them daily to fulfill their chronic addiction needs which leads them to not only huge substance abuses but predictably the daily abuse of each other. "You're a cunt (The merry-go-round of misery)" is filled with the many hidden truths about the human condition, the lack of desire to seek professional and reasonable solutions to their own problems or addictions. It shows the human mind and how it works simply to have one more day of substance abuse which in-evidently leads to emotional, psychology, personal and most certainly in the case of Helen's house, physically and violent abuse. "You're a cunt (The merry-go-round of misery)" is not for the fain of heart but opens up the doors of the human conditions and the weakness that surrounds us at all times in our lives. It is driven by the inner need to connect to something or someone similar in needs, desires and emotions or not as in case of some of the characters we meet in this play. Based on fact, "You're a cunt (The merry-go-round of misery)" is not an isolated and exaggerate case of misfits but a mirror into the deeper and darker secrets of not just some homes across Ireland but the entire world. Coming off the success of his first play "The Divide", Patrick C. McDonnell's second play "You're a cunt (The merry-go-round of misery)" has chosen a topic that cuts at the very core of our being and opens up a can of worms rarely discussed even in today's modern media, a situation that currently tears at the very fabric of homes and societies at all classes and levels worldwide.

A Land Remembered has been ranked #1 Best Florida Book eight times in annual polls conducted by Florida Monthly Magazine. In this best-selling novel, Patrick Smith tells the story of three generations of the MacIveys, a Florida family who battle the hardships of the frontier to rise from a dirt-poor Cracker life to the wealth and standing of real estate tycoons. The story opens in 1858, when Tobias MacIvey arrives in the Florida wilderness to start a new life with his wife and infant son, and ends two generations later in 1968 with Solomon MacIvey, who realizes that the land has been exploited far beyond human need. The sweeping story that emerges is a rich, rugged Florida history featuring a memorable cast of crusty, indomitable Crackers battling wild animals, rustlers, Confederate deserters, mosquitoes, starvation, hurricanes, and freezes to carve a kingdom out of the swamp. But their most formidable adversary turns out to be greed, including finally their own. Love and tenderness are here too: the hopes and passions of each new generation, friendships with the persecuted blacks and Indians, and respect for the land and its wildlife. A Land Remembered was winner of the Florida Historical Society's Tebeau Prize as the Most Outstanding Florida Historical Novel. Now in its 14th hardcover printing, it has been in print since 1984 and is also available in trade paperback.

A sumptuous presentation of impeccably designed classic interiors by Matthew Patrick Smyth. Matthew Patrick Smyth is renowned for elegant, sophisticated rooms that combine sumptuous fabrics, well-selected antiques, and contemporary comfort. In Through a Designer's Eye, he reveals his design process, emphasizing his commitment to exploring the world, through travel and in the imagination of the theater, and to recording scenes and vignettes in photographs. Through a Designer's Eye presents Smyth's recent work ranging from a traditional Park Avenue apartment and an edgy Tribeca loft in Manhattan to waterfront houses in Florida, New England, and Long Island that demonstrate his skills in responding to context and eliciting preferences of clients to create a unique environment for each. Nowhere is this better seen than in his own house in Salisbury, Connecticut, an unexpected 1970s prefabricated deck house now elegantly appointed with an eclectic mix of furniture, objects, and works of art he and his partner have collected over many years. Smyth's engaging, first-person narrative references formative experiences with theater and photography and focuses on five elements of interior design--appreciating of artisanal and handcrafted elements, understanding of history and context, evaluating light and seasonal change, weaving furnishings and art into a coherent mise-en-scene, creating an inviting atmosphere--that contribute to successful spaces. Illustrating the text are lush photographs of completed rooms, interspersed with Smyth's own vignettes and details, which add a unique visual layer to the presentation.

A Time of Gifts: On Foot to Constantinople: From the Hook of Holland to the Middle Danube
Patrick Leigh Fermor
New York Review of Books
2005
nidottu
This beloved account about an intrepid young Englishman on the first leg of his walk from London to Constantinople is simply one of the best works of travel literature ever written. At the age of eighteen, Patrick Leigh Fermor set off from the heart of London on an epic journey--to walk to Constantinople. A Time of Gifts is the rich account of his adventures as far as Hungary, after which Between the Woods and the Water continues the story to the Iron Gates that divide the Carpathian and Balkan mountains. Acclaimed for its sweep and intelligence, Leigh Fermor's book explores a remarkable moment in time. Hitler has just come to power but war is still ahead, as he walks through a Europe soon to be forever changed--through the Lowlands to Mitteleuropa, to Teutonic and Slav heartlands, through the baroque remains of the Holy Roman Empire; up the Rhine, and down to the Danube. At once a memoir of coming-of-age, an account of a journey, and a dazzling exposition of the English language, A Time of Gifts is also a portrait of a continent already showing ominous signs of the holocaust to come.
