“Don't Eat Before Reading This,” Anthony Bourdain
published in The New Yorker, 1999
I met Him- We both just happened to be in Manila~ Philippines, at the same time.
He was doing His Show- & I was working on a documentary about global warming/coral bleaching at the time.
“I’m a big believer in winging it. I’m a big believer that you’re never going to find perfect city travel experience or the perfect meal without a constant willingness to experience a bad one. Letting the happy accident happen is what a lot of vacation itineraries miss, I think, and I’m always trying to push people to allow those things to happen rather than stick to some rigid itinerary.”
— Anthony Bourdain (via wanderologie-)
no but do u get it?!?!
my life’s moto and my role model
Watching old episodes of Parts Unknown and being struck by little moments like these. What an extraordinary tragedy.
"What do you need to know about Tokyo? Deep, deep waters. The first time I came here, it was a transformative experience. It was a powerful and violent experience. It was just like taking acid for the first time-meaning, What do I do now? I see the whole world in a different way.
I often compare the experience of going to Japan for the first time, going to Tokyo for the first time, to what Eric Clapton and Pete Townshend-the reigning guitar gods of England-must have gone through the week that Jimi Hendrix came to town.
You hear about it. You go see it. A whole window opens up into a whole new thing. And you think, What does this mean? What do I have left to say? What do I do now?"
Atrayo's Oracle Eulogy Vlog for Anthony Bourdain R.I.P.
Hello All, Today I wanted to make a dedicated "Jewels of Truth" channeled angelic wisdom statement 2,654 as a eulogy for the late "Anthony Bourdain". To honor his memory in my own way as an admirer of his work from afar. I have channeled via clairvoyant automatic writing past celebrity eulogies as well for select individuals whom I've also admired. Such as Dr. Wayne Dyer a self-help spiritual motivational author, Robin Williams the world-famous comedian, and finally Michael Jackson the musician entertainer King of Pop. Before I get into this vlog and blog entry I wanted to mention I offer a complimentary Angelic Blessing Invocation service through my website. To pray and bless anyone, anywhere, and for any reason whatsoever via email. I'll perform a prayer ritual with my angels to send out such a blessing and will notify the person in return by email. I will also offer another of my services I don't usually advertise anymore which is an angelic automatic writing session of a Eulogy on behalf of a Love One. I'll do this for Free although I'll take any optional donations if offered for the inspired service. All I'll need is general information about your loved one such as their accomplishments, their name, married with children or not, how they passed onward, etc... Besides anything else, you believe that is pertinent as an introduction about your loved one for the automatic writing session regarding your loved one. (*Note: This is not, however, a psychic reading but a eulogy in writing.) May you enjoy this dedication for Mr. Anthony Bourdain.
Memorial:
2654) To all that have anguished after hearing of the loss of "Anthony Bourdain" to an unthinkable tragic event of suicide. How he ended his life be he sober or intoxicated at the time of his isolated passing. His life has the arch of rebellion sprayed all throughout against the establishment of the culinary world. Up until the hour of his hopefully unmeditated senseless actions to us in the conventional world to date. The last insult towards the pain of this world that has hurt him so much. This was an unfortunate conclusion decided upon in a drunken stupor we suspect?
Anthony leaves behind a professional legacy many have adored and envied for years on end. From the culinary circuit to breaking bread literally with the salt of the earth across the globe. All throughout his televised travels to known popular locales and to other places off the well-beaten path. The general audience became well enamored with "Anthony Bourdain" during this period. With his sarcastic attitude towards life bemoaning the serious and the foolish in one jovial sweep.
How he educated his followers by television of the cultures, politics that mattered beyond partisan posturing, the human condition, and especially the food that brought it all together. In an elegant fashion across the globe into our televised homes on a seasonal basis.
The most important legacy, however, Anthony leaves behind is his beloved cherished daughter. Who has drawn him back home be it in spirit no matter where he stood upon terra firma on this Earth during his travels. His countless friendships cultivated over so many decades is another treasure many can miss off-hand. But, to Anthony, these kindred souls make life both interesting and at other times that much tolerable in the world we are shaping and inheriting together simultaneously.
If Anthony where here overlooking such an outpouring of affection for him. He would lament at such a poor decision in so many colorful passionate euphemisms about his passing. Anthony Bourdain's heartache overwhelmed his sensibilities which we collectively regret his decision no matter the disposition of his line of thinking and feeling at the time. We Love You Forever Anthony for making our lives richer with your roguish bravado. That always left us 2nd guessing our place in your esteemed company. No matter we wouldn't have it any other way because we adored your mischievous style and celebrated your rebellious spirit. God Speed to you "Anthony Bourdain" we love you, you bum.

People will be absolutely flooding over with classism and people will just allow it because they like them.
