Oh my God, please make it stop! Can someone, ANYONE in the Republican party please grow some balls and admit that their man is fucking up and that Spicer is a fucking dumbshit idiot and he needs to be kept as far away from a news camera as possible?? This mutha fucka said Hitler didn't use chemical weapons! Tell that to everyone that he killed in a GAS chamber you fucking ignorant shit!

Come on man!! Is party pride that fucking deep that youre willing to not only completely ruin this country but hell, its looking more and more like we are going to be the next target for annihilation by the whole entire rest of this planet!

I'll apologize first...

... because I'm sure someone out there will be offended and call me a jerk BUT.... with everything that is happening not only in this country but in the world, why are so many people fixated on this fcking giraffe?
I love animals and all but what the fuck? I'm tired of hearing about this shit already.

I the people,...

I'll preface this with a disclaimer:  These are just my thoughts and opinions. If you agree with them, great. If you don't thats ok too, just don't expect some great debate between us. Keep it friendly or keep your mouth shut and go start your own blog.


Anyone that knows me, knows that i'm far from being a negative person. I'm generally in good spirits, easy going and a positive & optimistic person.
That said, I will start this off by saying that i'm staying true to myself and trying to still be that positive and optimistic person. I DO NOT want this man to fail as POTUS. No he did not get my vote and no he would not get my vote EVER under any circumstance. Fact remains though that he is about to take over this country so for me to hope for him to fail would be just sabotaging my own life.

I've held back from expressing my opinions for a while but i feel like its ok for me to do so. Maybe because the inauguration is right around the corner. Maybe because last night I watched a real president behave like a real president. Maybe because well this is America and I have the freedom to express whatever the fuck i want to express.
I dont have a clearly structured and formatted statement drafted out so i'm just going to vomit out random shit.
I'm tired of hearing people say that everyone opposed to Trump being president is just a sore loser.
I honestly am not. It has nothing to do with (I am a registered Democrat) our candidate losing. I'm not sore about that at all. I'm actually more sore at the American citizens for causing our candidate to lose.
First all those who didn't vote at all. You're the worst kind. First you silence your voice by not voting and then you're going to stand there and try to complain about or protest the results? Shut the fuck up. You had your chance to speak on election day. The fuck outta here.
Lets back track a little here actually. All you fuckturds who voted for Hillary as the nominee and then had no confidence in her as the candidate, you know where you can go.

Moving on to the independents. Listen, i understand that neither Trump nor Hillary were ideal or even just good candidates but you had to know that one of them was going to take this election. The independent candidate had no chance whatsoever. SO using your common sense and realizing which person you absolutely would not want in the White House, why wouldn't you do the sensible thing and vote for the other?

And then we have the republicans. First I'll commend you for coming out in full force, that part is admirable. Second ill say that I dont hate you because of your views, your way of thinking, or your beliefs. When it comes to agendas, I think that we think more alike than anyone really cares to admit. We all want the government to operate decisively and justly. We want America to stand strong, to lead the way in business, government, education. It has nothing to do with any of those things or any other number of debatable topics, directions, views, agendas, policies etc.
No, it only has to do with the fact that you are all sooooo attached to the republican tit that you're not willing to admit that you're putting a completely unfit, immature, ignorant, classless, embarrassing  excuse for a decent person in the position to control all our lives for the next 4 years.
Why doesnt that scare any of you? You HAVE to see the joke of a man and the joke of a leader this man is! Or are you truly so blinded by political party loyalty that you are willing to fuck up this country merely to prove a point? Are you so fucking desperate to get the black man out of the White House that you'll send up the fucking court jester because he's white and he's republican?
You really think this man is going to make things better for YOU? We'll be lucky to still be America by the time he is done.
Mr. Trump has said some things that need to be said. Ill give him that. I agree that the American government is fucked up from the feds down to the small town councils. There absolutely needs to be change. But then he goes on Twitter and calls Meryl Streep overrated because she called him out for behaving inappropriately. She didn't say anything that wasn't true! How old are you man? This is not junior high! Have some fucking dignity, some maturity, some tact! So when some ISIS person gets on TV calling him a weak leader is he going to tweet and call him a cowardly camel kisser or something stupid and childish like that? WTF? ACT LIKE A MAN! ACT LIKE A PRESIDENT!
Every single day for the next 4 years someone is going to say something negative about you. Deal with it! Take the punch, shake it off and get ready for the next one. Be a fucking man.
Finally, i'll finish like i started. I'm not wishing for this man to fail because his failure is mine too, all of ours. I'll keep wishing that he proves me wrong, that he will prove this country wrong.
He is not and never will be MY president but he is OUR next president.
Let that sink in and then figure out if you'd rather see him fail or succeed.
Told you I'd be all over the place.

Flag removals and really??!! The General Lee!??

Wow this Confederate flag thing all of a sudden is moving really fast. South Carolina takes down its flag. Retail corporations ban the manufacturing and sale of it. Even Warner Bros. now says the Dukes of Hazzard car, General Lee will not feature the flag anymore!
(General Lee is not the General Lee without the flag but i'll leave that argument for another day)
So in the words of Mr. Joker "What happened? Did your balls drop off?"
All these years of picking up your shotgun and standing on the soapbox yelling how its a symbol of southern pride and whatever. Pride in what? Pride in rebelling against your country and government and then fighting and killing your own countrymen?
I veer off of my point.
That point being why after all these years everyone suddenly has realized that you shouldn't be flying the flag that although it wasn't the official Confederate States flag, it did represent a division of the southern army during their attempt to fight their own government over an obviously uncivilized practice.
But lets take this further. Lets take this in the direction of who the fuck gives a shit about some fucking flag some southerners fly? This flag comes up as a part of the racism conversation but does a flag make you a racist? Does not flying it automatically mean you're not? Do you think that only white southerners that fly this flag are racist in this country?
And what about the idea that on the heels of so much controversy and injustice involving the African American community, the removal of this in fact insignificant flag is a completely empty victory in the battle against the true enemy...... racism.
People seem to be eating this shit up not realizing that its only a consolation prize. An appeasement. A peace pipe filled with all the good, sweet, apologetic bull shit you want to hear that will convince you to stop protesting, and arguing and fussing and fighting and so on.
You give a crying baby a pacifier to shut him up. This "rebel flag" is the pacifier to all of us who would see racism finally done away with.
Are we really so naive to think that a fucking flag is needed when some ignorant fool begins to teach his kids to hate any one in a darker skin tone than them?
So naive to think that the removal of this flag is going to stop or even curb racism in the south or any other part of this country?
Or even so naive to think that we've defeated this big symbol and supporter of oppression and racism? Flags don't support racism. Racism supports racism. Racist people support racism. And not all of them wave a fucking flag to tell you so.
We need to wake up folks. This flag is NOTHING. It means NOTHING. Thats why everyone is so quick to just give it up now. All we've done is actually create another symbol of hate. Symbols like the swastika flag or a white hood or a burning cross.
Remember that somethings are not truly evil until you label it as such. And now we have. Now the next ignorant, hateful asshole that needs some "symbol" of his pain and suffering and hate will have yet another ready to wear token. This flag is hated and so must be as evil as I am.
Nice job America.

My name is Rachel and i'm [fill in the blank].

Why doesn't this woman realize that its not even about her identifying with African Americans or as such but its about posing and passing herself off as and lying about who you are?
She claims its more complicated than just answering the question. No stupid, it isn't. Did you lie and tell people you are black? Simple.

I love Bollywood movies and Indian food. And even if I had married an Indian woman and had little Puerto Rican/Indian kids and lived in Bombay that still doesn't fucking make me all of a sudden, Indian!
You fucking lied. And you can say well people misidentified me as mixed or black. That is even worse because you KNEW that people had your race mistaken and you STILL kept it up!
Its fantastic that your boys love their mom no matter what race you are but what are you teaching them about being liars?
This is absolutely not about black and white for me, its about you being a liar.

And to the NAACP and to every and any other company, agency, coalition, organization etc etc down to the fucking local social bridge club that does or may represent a specific race, nationality or interest..... The most qualified person to lead you is the most qualified person to lead you. While it may help in some cases to have one of your own, in some cases it might be a hindrance. Can't fight prejudice with prejudice.


And while im here and have your attention. There's a very important election on the horizon. Please educate yourselves on who you will and will not be giving your votes to and why. Don't take this shit sitting down and don't sit down without taking action.

First one of 2015

I'd like to be able to say holy shit, i just realized i haven't blogged in 2015!  but that's a fucking lie. I know damn well i haven't written shit for a while.
So here I am.
You know the older i get the more understand the cycles of life. Old people aren't really mean as most younger folk would believe. We just don't give a fuck about your young ass ignorant bullshit anymore and refuse to have you waste the precious time we have left with some nonsense that should be easily remedied.  (shrug) What? It's true.

Oh as an FYI I think most of my friends know that while I'm sitting in front of a computer all day at work I am signed on to Facebook. But once i get home and on the weekends i rarely, barely even look at FB. So i apologize if i miss any one's birthday or posts and such, private messages included. Just throwing that out there.

While I'm on the subject I'd like to remind everyone out there that there is a lot of shit that you miss while you have your face in your phone trying to keep up with everything that's happening in other people's lives. UNPLUG!


And while I'm being so negative.......  Wait for it......  Wait for it.......

 Fuck you MTA!

I'm now paying even more for shit service that seems to get shittier.

Oh yea and to all you "love lock" shit heads, go take that shit back to France or where ever the fuck that shit started. You're damaging the bridge infrastructure assholes. Read the damn reports. Go buy a fucking ring and exchange THAT! Keep your shit off our bridges.

To every single person in New York. This is YOUR city! We all have a responsibility to keep this city clean, and safe and GREAT! Use the fucking thousands of garbage cans available on the street. Be proactive and reactive when people are doing shit they shouldn't be doing, especially people you know. The only way to stop all the robberies and assaults and shootings and all the petty fucking wanna be gangster little shits of this city is for the city to both strike back and to be the voice that talks them out of it in the first place.
Teens robbing senior citizens and young girls! What the fuck? No one in that group has the moral fiber to say nah man, that's not right??? You fucking cowards.

That reminds also, NYC has all these citibike locations why don't they put up a couple of porta pottys as well?? Do you know how difficult it is to find a toilet or a place that will let you use theirs?

For the past week or two my FB feed has been flooded with speculation articles about the NFL draft. Let me try to word this as best I can. Please stop. I don't give a flying fuck. I will still support my team and hate every other no matter who they draft.
Let us continue.
Please stop... all the "what you may have missed" articles
                                 "Easter eggs in this episode" articles
                                 "3 page breakdown and analysis on the new fcking 15 SECOND trailer" articles
                                 "batman vs superman" articles.
The list goes on but ill stop there. Please stop. I'm really fcking tired of endlessly scrolling through that all shit.

And what is going on in this country? At every turn you hear about a murder or a robbery, a cop being shot, a cop shooting an innocent, an American man dying in police custody and it goes on and on. such hate and violence and prejudice and intolerance. Even politicians showing their racial bias and less than honorable opinions and feelings. This country is a fucking mess right now. And through it all our United States government remains still and silent and unresponsive.
Now im not some Obama basher by any means, i think mother fuckers only see what they want to see when it comes to him but i'm talking about the government as a whole.
The UNITED fucking STATES government.
I guess we have forgotten that the federal government is the big daddy of them all and is supposed to keep the kids in check. When the Confederate seven gave big daddy the finger, big daddy stepped up and slapped the shit out of them. Why has big daddy forgotten his role? in so many cases its undeniably evident that the state has lost control of its ass and is shitting all over the place. Why does big daddy not step in and fcking regulate?!
 “We need a revolution every 200 years, because all governments become stale and corrupt after 200 years.” – Ben Franklin
If this is the necessary course of getting shit back on track, we are overdue.

SLAP CHOPS AND APPLE SHAUCE...

WATCH FIRST!


So yea, this happened and here is what i think people should learn from this. Obviously this is completely from my POV.

So anyone that knows me would know that I do NOT condone hitting a woman. That said it needs to be added that I absolutely don't condone hitting a woman out of anger or jealousy or anything that has to do with a woman that you know or are involved with having an argument, lovers quarrel or anything of that nature. If your lady pissed you off so much that you need to hit her, you don't need to be with her anymore.

THAT now said, anyone that knows me also knows that I'm big on protecting yourself, defending yourself and even more importantly, respecting yourself and others.

SO here it is.... this young lady, first made the mistake of not respecting others. You don't like some one's clothes so you're going to belittle them in public?
THEN you go, along with the rest of them that got up and tried to assault the dude that was recording the whole thing. Being that you knocked the phone to the ground now you broke another rule by putting your hands on someone. (No respect for others space and personal property)
THEN you go and cant take ONE insult from this dude that you've been insulting ten times over and you decide to take it further and put your hands on HIM as well. (No self-respect because you cant take what you so easily dish out)

Let me backtrack for one second, dude with the phone was already justified in slapping you if he had. Don't come at me (I will defend myself) Don't touch me (I will touch you back)

And then came the slap that you fully deserved. You already put your hands on two people. You're lucky you only got hit once and it was a slap not a punch.

My man that stood up and threw fists for her, that was very gallant of you bro but she had that slap coming so your chivalry was a little misguided.

I realize we don't know what happened prior to the video. Maybe 8-ball was trying to talk to her or something and she didn't want to be talked to. That's fine, but have enough respect for yourself and him to just tell him no thanks and keep moving. 
Have enough respect for yourself not to make a scene, to handle the situation like a lady and not like you're at some junior high school playground.
If he is respecting your personal space, you should be doing the same.

When a man swings at another man, he hits him like a man and is fully prepared to get hit like a man. Even as a woman, you should expect the same.

Respect people. Have some for yourselves. Show some to others.
Respect that people are different.
Respect other people's space and others privacy and others choice of clothes.
Respect others intelligence.
And absolutely do not touch me, because you might find yourself wearing that right cross even if you don't respect it.

You've been bitten, respectfully...

There's an update for the video.
According to the NYPD, Jorge Pena, 25, was charged with misdemeanor assault and disorderly conduct. Kevin Gil, 21, was also charged with misdemeanor assault and disorderly conduct. Danay Howard, a 21-year-old female, was charged with felony assault and disorderly conduct, and Shanique Campbell, 20, was charged with misdemeanor assault and disorderly conduct.

Catcalls and assholes.

So i'm on a bit of a fence about this catcalling video and the issues it brings up. There are a lot of thoughts that rise from it and some may kind of random, so bare with me.

One side of the fence is the side that says yes you are absolutely right. Dudes are stupid and rude and pervy.

But the other side is the side that asks the question... so how am I supposed to meet you if you think everything and anything i say to you is harassment?

Lets face it, i can totally admit it because i know my own kind. Dudes, a lot of dudes.....

(Oh yea and before i forget, I use "I" here a lot. That in no way means that im talking about myself. As I am surely not out on the street trying to talk to women, let alone harassing them. I use I to refer to guys or a guy in general)

Dudes, a lot of dudes are straight up assholes. If your goal was to get her to talk to you and now you're calling her a bitch when she didnt? You're an asshole.
OR If you're standing there licking your lips, gripping your nuts and "talkin bou" hey mami wats good?.... You're an asshole.
OR You follow hey how you doing with yea my dog dont talk either... You're an asshole.
OR If Damn!, Damn girl!, Damn you got a phatty! is your opening line.... You're an asshole.
OR If sweetheart, baby, mami, sexy, ass, booty, phatty, etc. are part of the first sentence you speak to this woman you've never met before.... you're an asshole.
In fact if the first words from your mouth to this strange woman are not "excuse me".... You're an asshole.
So yes ladies, I get THAT.

So now.... What if?

What if I walk up to you and say...
Excuse me. But I wanted to introduce myself.
Is that Harassment?
OR  Hi, how you doing today?
OR Hi, I think you're very pretty and I'd like to meet you.
Is that sexual harassment now because i mentioned your looks?
Sight is the first sense (unless you have the 6th and can see dead people) that ALL OF US use in any encounter. So it's rational to think that I would mention how pretty or attractive I think you are. I dont say yo baby you hot as fuck, but is it really wrong or harassing for me to say you're very pretty and I'd like to know you? Am I objectifying you by saying that?

Obviously theres a big difference between the two methods but there many people who would say yes, that is harassment. A woman (or a man) should be able to walk down the street and not have another person comment, speak about, or speak to them.
Sure but if that were the case then how would anyone meet anyone? If someone doesnt make the first move, how would you ever meet (potentially) a friend, a buddy, a girlfriend, a boyfriend, a spouse?
There are right ways to approach someone and there are wrong ways but it seems like people want to just do away with all ways.


Fellas: stop being assholes. Speak TO a woman like a lady not AT them like your dog.
If she says hello, shes just trying to be nice. Dont start booking a hotel room.
If she doesnt say anything, take it like man. Be a real man and accept and respect the rejection and keep it moving.

Ladies: Sure you can be picky but come on. If he comes at you the right way, at least you can listen until he makes you not want to listen anymore.  (if you're single that is. If you're married/BF/engaged etc then a simple sorry, not interested would do fine)
And if he's using the asshole methods mentioned above i would recommend some type of self defense instruction so you can knock a fool out.


Oh yea and to the parents out there please teach your sons some fucking respect. If there was more out there we wouldn't even need to be talking about this.

and you've been bitten.

Dr. Stupid

Right, so here is my thing. YOU are a fcking DOCTOR, fully knowing the dangers involved with working in the country you just went to work in. Why wouldn't the FIRST thing you do when you set foot back in this country be to quarantine yourself and get yourself checked out?
No this fcking guy went out and about in a city of millions and got on the subway, he went out to eat, he went fcking bowling. Are you fcking stupid??
So look you fcking idiot, if you survive this and other people die because of you, you too should be put in stockades and the rest of us be allowed to walk by and try to slap the stupid out of you on a daily basis.

And on the topic of stupid, all you fcking limp dick, wanna be macho, hiding behind tags and firewalls gamergate bitch asses need to roll back down to your basement gaming rooms, play your games, shut the fuck up and leave people be. People who have the same right to give their opinion as you do to scratch your nuts while you game all day.You threaten people with bodily harm over a fcking game? stupid.

Hittin switches

So there are many times that i have very strong opinions about things going on in our screwed up world and then i choose to just keep them to myself.
Today i can't do that. I'm going to make this really short and to the point.

People need to mind their fucking business and let a parent discipline their kids.
Shut the fck up with your save the rod, count to ten, 5 minutes of time out bullshit!

Kids need to learn some respect and some boundaries and yes even some fear. That's something that has been lacking as is evident by the increase of crimes, assaults and robberies and everything else committed by young kids, teens and young adults.
You think a teen who has learned those things would go around trying to "knock-out" an innocent 70 year old man?  Hell no. He would be too afraid of getting knocked out himself when he got home.
So spare me the bullshit morality talk. That talk wont help you when someone is kicking your ass and stealing your shit because everyone couldn't mind their business when their parents were trying to set them on a better path.

I dont give two flying kicks and fucks about this bullshit.I'm sorry i even wasted cyber space writing THIS shit.

Fuck you very much once again MTA. A 20 minute trip took me an hour today on the F train. And of course it made perfect MTA sense to hear the conductor say we are delayed because of train traffic ahead of us because along the ride you let THREE OTHER F trains cross in front of us. Fucking morons. In what universe does it make sense to stop one F train just to let 3 others pass it by?? Was my time not as important as everyone else on the other 3 trains?

Today in MTA

It took me over an hour to complete my 30 minute commute to work.

Oh yea and I had two of the most notorious train riders.
First I get on the train and this dude goes and leans on the pole like he's the only body on the train. I promptly tap him on the shoulder and excuse him off the pole.
Then I'm holding on to said pole when I realize now I have a slider. You know those people who apparently excrete gel from their palms because their hand keeps sliding down the pole on to yours.
WTF! Hey greazy kids stuff!  Wash your damn hands or put some fucking tacky grip on your paws but stop fcking touching me.

Refreshing Rather Than Rant

Yea I know you're all used to reading me rant and go on about all the shit that's wrong with this world but I'm not feeling that way today.
Actually I AM still feeling that way because there IS A LOT of evil, ignorance, darkness and negativity going on all around us this very minute!
BUT I don't want to talk about that today. Today as I casually surfed the endless waves of the web, liked some items on Facebook and tweeted a couple of replies i had a quick thought.

As i tweeted to Mr. Shahrukh Khan (my favorite and one of the all-time most successful Bollywood actors) how much I enjoyed his movies Don & Don2, I wondered to myself if he would be making anymore movies with Kajol. (my favorite and one of the all-time most successful Bollywood actresses)

So came the next thought which was that they are one of my favorite movie couples of all time.
And so here it is.
Some of Da Wizard's all-time favorite movie couples, mainly from some of my favorite movies!



Oh yea, this is going to expose a certain side of me.... but I don't care. I'm a grown ass man.

 

Arthur & Guinevere - Excalibur

 Yes I know the marriage was doomed from day one but he really loved her and she put up a good front most of the time. Plus they get extra points for having such a damn cool wedding!

Meg Ryan & Tom Hanks

C'mon! There can not possibly be anyone out there who doesn't like at least one of their movies! That's just not possible. Yes ok, Joe and the Volcano was kinda forgettable but Sleepless in Seattle? You've Got Mail? C'mon!

Him: I was married once before.
Her: What? What's her social security number?
If that isn't love?

Michael Douglas & Annette Bening - The American President

Cool idea, fun movie and proof that Douglas actually has a personality. Together they were spot on as a couple. Yes, it might give you a toothache from all the sugary sweetness but I see my dentist regularly.

Kate Beckinsale & John Cusack - Serendipity

Yes definitely a guilty pleasure. I love this movie. The chance meeting, the abrupt parting and the universe making shit happen as it should. Not only great chemistry between Beckinsale and Cusack but the supporting cast of Jeremy Piven, Molly Shannon, Eugene Levy, John Corbett AND our very own New York City is absolutely perfect.

 

Kajol Devgn & Shah Rukh Khan

Most of you reading this right now probably have never watched a Bollywood film. I understand, they are speaking Hindi, there are subtitles, there are musical numbers through out the movie and the movies are like 3 hours long. I get it.
So here is my suggestion, if you only watch ONE Bollywood movie in your life(AND YOU SHOULD) then watch one with Kajol and Shah Rukh. The chemistry these guys have is amazing. And their movies (6 in total) range from fun romantic comedies "Kuch Kuch Hota Hai to more serious drama "My Name is Kahn"

Buy one, rent one, Netflix it, borrow it from a friend. Just let them entertain you.

Bogey & Bacall

What can I possibly say here? Icons. A true Hollywood, fairytale, storybook romance. I LOVE THESE GUYS. I love their movies, their true story and their timeless love. Just watch and enjoy!

And last but certainly not least, there's these guys here. These guys are special. This movie is special. I'm not finished watching it but by far these guys are the best I've ever seen.  ;-)
Long live great movies and great couples!

MSG's (10 year) swansong

"The Madison Square Garden Company's 50-year permit to operate the arena expired earlier this year, but it has been lobbying hard for a renewal in perpetuity, sending the likes of Walt Frazier, Earl Monroe, and Spike Lee to argue the case for staying. But the city has granted only a 10-year permit, after which the Garden will be knocked down for the redevelopment of Penn Station."


I kinda get it.
Moving people in and out of Manhattan is definitely a priority.
Even in its "improved" state, Penn Station is pretty crappy by New York standards.
We surely do need a new arena because you can't possibly have 4 major pro sports teams play in Brooklyn. And yes we all know only 3 championships have been won at The Garden but there's a lot more to a place's  history than just championships.

At MSG I got to see Ewing, Starks and Oakley get rained on by Mr. Jordan.

I saw Leech, Messier and the Great One vs Brodeur.

I saw Luis Miguel become the first Latin artist to sell out the Garden.
Gloria Estefan come out of the dark.
Guns N Roses Use their illusions.
Marc Anthony "sheck"ing it out.
Alicia Keys play the hell out of that piano.
Sting summon ten tales.
The AMAZING Cirque De Soleil Michael Jackson Immortal
and Metallica bring down the house on two different tours.



 And lets not forget the many times we saw the circus. The Greatest Show on Earth!

Ok so maybe I'm talking about MY OWN history. Whatever! I'm sure all of you out there have at least one great memory of The Garden. I'm all for forward progress, increased efficiency, and positive changes but just like that kid in JHS or the Towers that once touched the sky, sometimes you just miss the things you grew up with.
Here is to the hope that we see both, a return of Penn Station to its former glory...

And a modernized, multifunctional and worthy of the New York skyline Madison Square Garden.

"Live in harmony with one another" - Romans 12:16

Extremely random thoughts...

So I see the world didn't end in a cataclysmic kiss of fire and water.

My ears are bleeding from the many "Oh my God, it's soo hot outside!" Ummm yea. It's July. Summer. In New York. Oh yea, and never surprising to anyone at all, EVER; It's from the same people who 7 months ago were saying "Oh my God, It's soo cold out!" 
I'm not a summer person, never have been. Especially here in NY. You cant breathe, the city reeks of dead and decomposing things, people reek like dead and decomposing things and my wife gets cranky. (Sorry baby, I love you but you do.) I guess I'm a rare kind of New Yorker, I'm actually quite happy with the weather for 3 of the 4 seasons.

While on the subject of too hot, MTA you STILL SUCK ASS. Much like what the stations smell like these days because you STILL can't find a way to ventilate the system.
We put people on the moon. I can grow hair back on my head. They make food that's edible for 25 YEARS! (may not taste great but it has everything you need) But you, MTA, you expect us to believe that no one in NY or on the face of this planet can come up with an option to vent the subway stations?

Oh yea, wife and I are on week 6 of P90X and I notice a difference in my body. It HURTS!

Speaking of subways, i read somewhere someone mention Bernie Goetz in a comment praising Zimmerman. Damn shame. This dude is getting away with murder. Literally. How can you follow someone to the point of making them confront you and then claim self-defense? Self-preservation should have been to keep your ass in your car. AND how did this jury look at this and determine well he didn't do anything wrong? HE DID EVERYTHING WRONG YOU MORONS!!  He shouldn't have been following anyone. He shouldn't have left his car. AND HE placed HIMSELF in a position of danger just because he felt like it. and he killed someone. not just anyone. not an African-American person. you killed a kid. who gives a shit if he smoked weed, got suspended, solved the world hunger problem or saved the fcking polar caps. He was a kid.
If there are any real Dexter's out there. Time to go to work.

By the way, "Live in harmony with one another" - Romans 12:16. When i started writing this post i looked up and i saw this in front of me. It was the daily verse on the calendar the day I proposed to my wife. Awww. If the East coast doesn't get washed away this fall, maybe we can visit where it happened again.


So I'm confused about something else. After the verdict, after this case that had elements of white vs black, stop and frisk, lawlessness (Specifically, Zimmerman acted like there were no laws that applied to him or his actions), racial profiling, racial stereotyping etc.  After all of this and after every one is trying to establish the opposition of these "practices", people, the majority of which are African-American, go out and (rightfully so) protest the verdict. I'm 100% behind that.
But a little while later a bunch of them break off in another direction a few blocks away and proceed to vandalize and loot the local Walmart. Soooo let me understand this. You went to the protest to call for respectful, equal, non-suspicious treatment and justice but then you went and committed vandalism, mayhem, breaking & entering and theft. Yea. That makes a lot of sense. I'll wipe away that stigma right now for you.
Now i know that a larger percentage of the population is not like that so this for everyone else. Stop doing that shit you assholes! You cant cry for help when you're stabbing yourself. You cant move forward if you're stepping on your own ankle. And you cant shout racism when you keep reinforcing those same preconceptions you hate so much. All you're doing is fcking it up for everyone else.

I don't hate anyone over skin tone, language, nationality, race, eye color, shoe size, even for being a Mets fan, whatever. But lets face it, there are ricans, south americans, irish, french, canadians, germans, brits, persians, asians, indians, australians, african americans etc. that are making their people look bad. Stop the bullshit already.
"Live in harmony with one another" - Romans 12:16

I didn't say "white" people because as we know white in this country really means irish, italian, polish, german, english, or any other pale skinned European that immigrated here.

Hmmm I've said a lot here so far, haven't I? That's what happens when I don't post for so long.

Oh yes so to all the racist Dbags who had something negative to say about Sebastien De La Cruz at the NBA finals and Marc Anthony at the All-star game. Both were born in U.S. and ARE Americans. I apologize the system and your parents failed you. It's really difficult and very hard work being ignorant and a waste of clean air.  So my fck you hat goes off to you. Make yourself useful or just get the hell off the planet.  

Ok I think I'm done for today. I'll come back soon. There are a few things I didn't cover.

Quick byte of the day.

Co-worker: "Hey, do you smell something burning in the pantry?"

Me: "Um thats the Earth. It's starting a day early."

Thank you. I'll be here all week.

Let's play catch..... up.

Its been a few months since I blogged, not because my world or our world has been void of noteworthy events but i guess sometimes I want to say so much that i dont know what to say.

Sooooo, here are a few things.
Since my last blog, 26 friends or family on my Facebook page have had a birthday.  A very Happy Birthday to all of them.

The Avengers, Spiderman and Batman movies were all released. Not to mention a bunch of other crap that no one went to see.

Shootings in NY, Colorado, Texas, Wisconsin, South Africa and thousands of others I dont even know about have claimed the lives of hundreds of people. The NRA can go suck a monkey nut. We need to, OUR GOVERNMENT NEEDS TO, take control of the gun control issue. Our federal government, that seems to enjoy getting their toms, dicks and harrys into just about everything else needs to start cracking the fcking political whip and get the states in line. I dont give 2 craps of a rhino's ass about no more supersize drinks but i do give a shit about some fcking idiot being able to get an AK-47 in 7 to 10 days so he can open fire on a room full of innocent people. You fuck heads in Washington need to do what you were put in place to do, Fcking govern!!

(Deep breath)

I'm very happy to have found a few of my "long lost" cousins on FB and plan to visit them and my very lost father in PR next year.

Mom continues to display a strong front while she battles to keep as much of herself as possible from being stripped away by her Alzheimer's.

My nephew Nick, graduated from high school in June and will be starting college in a couple of weeks. Great job Nick, we are all very proud!!

We took a ride on the original Batcoptor from the 60's TV series. Fricking awesome!

Summer softball season ended with a 2 game loss in the semi's. Fall league here we come!

Speaking of summer, I'm sooo ready for the fall. All this heat and humidity can KMA.

Speaking of KMA. MTA can still KMA.

My beautiful wife, has committed to making and keeping herself healthier and more fit and I couldn't be more proud of her sweat, hard work and dedication. And yes, i'm doing my part to keep up with her.

Our Florida vacation is booked, our weekend in Salem is booked.

Football is back.  Nuff said.

I started this blog about 3 hours ago so i've lost some direction and focus. LOL but i guess thats enough for now. Just wanted to flex my fingers a little.

Da Wizard has nibbled.

Here is my favorite conversation of the day..... 

   HER: Hi, do you have number 2 pencils?

            ME: There should be some in the copy rooms.

   HER: I checked both rooms and i didnt see any.

Now i get up from my desk(after stopping my movie cuz im on lunch) and as im walking to the file room... 

   HER: Oh but  I dont need them right now, im about to go out to lunch. 

So why did you interrupt MY lunch for something you don't even need you idiot?
