Today , it ’s gloomy in New York . It ’s been like this for days now , some peculiar stretchability of the August blues , and there ’s not much to say about it other than it ’s only slightly unfit than the human clambake that typically go on on the streets this time of year . Days like these , star out the windowpane into the hoar menace , one feels an incisive desire for transcendence , for a admonisher of what military man is equal to of at his honest , when he ’s not busy victimize his fiddle or drinking himself dumb . So I bring to you four individual acts of wizardry .
First stop : JUGGLING ! That ’s right , my panda bears ! Juggling ! Chickity - check this out :
Nuts , right ? How does he do it ? ! terpsichore and juggle and once in a while sass - sync , all at once ? That ’s it , I ’m pre - booking him for my unborn child ’s Bar Mitzvahs .
Now , this one I ’m not so sure about . It ’s a Nike ad asterisk Brazilian association football star ( and world - class mug ) Ronaldhino . Watch it and let me know what you intend : is it a hoax , sort of like LeBron James ' Powerade commercial message where he makes all those shots from the opposite side of the homage , or are his foot really possessed of laser - like precision ? I ’m feeling large-hearted today , so I ’m fail with the latter , but evidence me if I ’m being snowed . It ’s happened before .
I find this one below peculiarly impressive because this kid is neither a superstar or a Ubermensch , like the two above . ( Yes , the juggler is a demigod . Watch it again and endeavor to take issue with me . Try . ) This kidskin is just a jerk , like you and me , but mostly you – and he pluck off an extraordinary trick . Is it all by signified of touch ? Can he see through his blindfold ? Again , I ’m left with more questions than solution .
And no tilt of human greatness would be complete without … a young Geraldo Rivera , bake out of his gourd vine . Note the ' stache .
Anyway , sorry to disappoint , but I ’m exit to be on a different continent next week and will be unable to station . I ’m pretty sure there ’ll be a relief poster , so be sure to show him[editor ’s eminence : or her , ahem]the same respect you do me . I ’ll see you in two weeks . I love you .
