Re: complaint Box / Subway Manners

Just finished reading an article by Lynn Harris..'Yes, I'm Pregnant, and Yes, I Want Your Seat' in the Sunday's New York Times. Well Ms., if you were standing while I'm sitting, no way you are getting my seat. And I'm not being mean either. Why on God's green earth would you be riding on a subway train pregnant? If I was a female, I would plan out my trip so that o would be taking buses. I don't care, you can get help faster aboveground, than below if you ask me. Taking your kids on the train with you too, I.e., baby stroller? You know damned well that you will have to carry it up or down some stairs somewhere along the line. So, I'm or some other or any other person suppose to help you with your stroller. Nine times out of ten, I can left it without your help, so you hold on to my backpack while I do the lifting. One woman told me, no, asked me why should she carry my backpack. Didn't I walk away from helping her. She had got very nasty with m...

Music, Music and More Music

I like mu, no I love me some music. I can get into almost anything that has a beat. Like right now, I'm listening to The Stanton Warriors, Sessions 3 cd, but its a mp3 on my ipod. This shit rocks. A good track is Beggin. The cd is continous playing, but the tracks are broken down. Its a remix cd by the Stanton Warriors with an assortment of DJ's. My fav, is Precient, and the 2 songs that lead up to it. I started liking music in the early late 60's. Ralph McDonald's Song of A Drum, Jam on The Groove. That track brings back memories. That was the start of all this hip hop rap era we are in now. My taste have changed over the years growning up. When I was staioned over in Germany, I was in my rock era. That was the late 70's. Once out of the Army, I hit the streets of NYC, and caught up with the hip hop rap stuff. Mostly, I like the crews, songs for their beats and scratchin'. Now, what I'm into is electronic and trance. I download A State of Trance by Armin v...

Maybe Its Me ?

We all have problems, I know I do at times. With my problems, I think that no one has ever been thru what I go thru. But I'm wrong. There isn't a problem that no has ever been thru before. Th3e biggest problems of the owrld today boiled doen to one common thing. MONEY !!! Right now the way things are, we all worry about money. Some more than others. Those others are the ones that havewaaay too much monry, millionaires, billionares. If they were to loose all their money, like some have, they would be trated just like any day regular folks. But the never loose it all like they claim they do. My first take on earning my own money started when I was young, I had a Sunday paper route. Papers on Sunday were 30 cents, and I would start with a dollar. At the end of my route, I would have about 15 or 20 dollars. Not bad. I was doing so good, that I had a friend help me out during the winter time. I went into the US Army, and learned a completely different thing about money. In the Army,...

Tryin' To Figure This One Out

I had a dream last night, strange one too. I was in my old Unit, over in Germany. Was sitting in something like a movie theater. One of my friends, I think he was a friend was sitting besides me. We were both wearing the old OD green uniforms. He was a Sargent First Class, E7, can't tell what rank I was. He was smoking a cigar and was telling me I was an old soldier like him. Told him that I was reassigned to the Unit. Next thing I'm walking back to the Post. Everything had changed from when I was last over there in 1977, more people in the town and it looked like New York City in a way. I had to climb through a junk yard, over barb wire fence and stuff, did it twice. The second time some kinds, black kids, were dancing, practicing their moves. One of them pick pocketed me, and I went to retrieve what he took. He pulled out a razor blade, and I checked my pockets, but nothing was taken. And then I woke up, woke up at 2am and couldn't get back to sleep. Strange. Sent from my...

????

I have a Western Digital 250GB hard drive, I bought it off a friend about a year ago. It WAS working just find until a couple of months ago. For some strange reason it started acting up. Things like when I power down my Netbook, the power light on it would still be lit. So I would un plug it, plug it back in and power up my netbook. Then the NB would do a drive check that would take about 2 hours to check for problems. This was signs that it was about to go bad...... so I thought. All the articles, magazines state that you should always back things up to an external hard drive or to some type of storage, like online storage. I figured this external drive was good enough, so I delt with it. Then it crashed last week. I never understood when people got all crazy when their drives crashed, now I do. I HAD about 2GB of pictures, about 10GB of programs and other notes that I saved in NotePad stored on that drive. So, I went online to try and find ways to recover what was on the drive. I Goo...

I'm Melting !!!!

The last couple of days has been really hard on me. No for real, I've been thru hell. No, again. I feel as if I'm living in HELL. The weather has a lot to do with it. It drains me. I work in a place where the air conditioning is up very high. The other day I had to put on a jacket because I was getting chills. I was actually shivering. Then when it was time to leave work, the heat from outside knocked me down, beat me up. Went home and tried to sleep and all I did was toss and turn, sweat and get really angry at myself. Fans do NO GOOD. Only thing that worked was taking a shower, like every 45 minutes. Then it was off to work cranky, for the lack of sleep. I'm not complaining mind you, just tired, that's all. That's it I'm finished. Its a litle bit cooler. Gonna try and get some sleep...good nite....I hope Sent from my T-Mobile Sidekick®

Lets Name The Demon.

As far as I know, from what I've been told, and read about, demons are the devil's hired help. Am I right about this. Those are the things that are in the spirital world, lets talk about the ones present in this world, right now. To name a few, I could go on. So I'm gonna start with an easy one...Homelessness. What? How can that be a demon you may ask? I ask you, have you ever been homeless? I have, a couple of times, but the first time, I did it to myself. I don't blame anyone, or anything, it 2was something that I just experience. I have a lot of respect for the homeless now, and always will. I don't always give, when some one ask me for a handout. Its rough out there on the streets. Take your average person, a home, 2.5 kids, car, bills etc. If something was to come along and take all that away, say, losing your job, where or who can you depend on. Sure, you save up in case of an emergency. But with a family, bills and everything else, savings deplete fasting tha...

Robots

I don't why I choose that title, thts what came to mind..ROBOTS Some people get angry, upset and teed off with me, so what. I can't be perfect to everyone ll the time. But I try to be. Most importantly, I try to keep my word. Something came up after work yesterday. I gave my word to a certain young lady about 9 months ago. I told her that when all else fails, this is my number call, leave a message and I will get right back at you. Usually I don't call back numbers that I don't know. All the people that I give my number to are stored in my cell phone. But this number looked strange, different, so I called. It was a ex co worker, and her boyfriend beat her up, and threw her out on the street. I said I would come, if you called, and she called. Took a cab over there. The weird thing about this is that its her apartment and he threw her out. She was standing on the corner, and looking pretty bad too. People at first thought that I did it to her, but by our conversation, t...

Bob Vila, Home Improvements

I can cool off quicker than I can warm up. Meaning that if I'm freezing cold, it takes me loner to defrost. Laugh if you want to, that's what I call it, defrosting. But when I'm hot, no problem. As long as there is running water, I can always cool off..well I use to think so. First let me say that what I've been hearing on the radio about this being the coolest summer in yeaars is a bunch of BULLSHIT !! Then why am I sweating like a roasted pig at night when I go to sleep? Why am I waking up in the middle of the night sweating, thinking that a fucking raoch is crawling on me when its nothing but sweat, huh? Why? I figured it all out though. I'm a thrifty type guy, you know that already. Why should I buy curtains when I know people are going to throw some of their old curtain away. I just come along a get them. I have been asking around, but I haven't been asking the right people, my MOTHER. I moved into my place during the winter time, so curtain were not a prio...

'Had a Dad' by Jane's Addiction, This Song Rocks !!!

Flashback, I get them sometimes. Picture this. Ok, have you guys ever heard of the Lallopaloza Tour? Will Perry, from the band I think Jane's Addiction? Yeah, I'm quite sure he plays or use to play with them. The Lallaploloza Tour is still going on to this date, it just doesn't stop in the tri-state area as much. Well, I went to the first one. It was held in Stanhope, NJ. Now here is the scary part. It was the night before the 3 day fest in NJ, and I was at home watching tv. I was a little nervos about going to a open air 3 day rock concert. I was watching tv, and one of the Jason, Friday The 13th movies came on. The opening credits have just rolled, and the first scene... a sign saying something or the othe about Stanhope, NY (again, Twilight Zone music plays in back ground). At the concert, fest, I had the best time of my life. 3 days, open air, on the show bill... Jane's Addiction, Souix and The Banshee, Henery Rollins Band and Ice T with his band, Body Bag. All nigh...

US Army...Gettin' Shorter and Shorter, and Shor...

My time, my tour was slowy coming to anend here in Germany. Let me say this. There was a lot I did, saw and accomplished while I was in Europe. I came to realize this. I grew up in the military somewhat. I went from a 17 year old one day, the next, a 17 year old man. I was thrown in anenivirnment of grown men, doing grown men things. Some and most of it was childish, but life is an experience. You don't experince, you're not living a full life. I learn by trail and error. I learned from my mistakes, some more than once twice, thrice. Still to this day, its a learning experience. I got hurt emotionally, physically, and spiritually. I had fum, wish I was dead and, at one time, thought I had died. That experience I will not talk about ever. Fact is, this is the first, no second time I thought about that experience. Gonna take a break from The Army for a while. Talk about some other things. See shit pops into my head, and I just place them to the side. It comes and goes. So to mak...

Poof !!!

One day, and one day soon, all will be forgiven. No more pain, anger, hurt, worried frustrations. Again, all will be forgiven some don't believe that all this pain, all this suffering, will come to an end. It has to, it needs to. Sent from my T-Mobile Sidekick®

The Birds & The Bees..Why I Am Like I Am Today

I had 5 girlfriends before, no 6 girlfriends before I went into The Army. First girlfriend, I think when I was 13 years old, she was 16. Then in Jr. HS, she was my first real girlfriend, Carolyn. Also, while in Jr. HS, Pam. Then there was Diana, a Spanish girl, very pretty and I would meet up with her when I got out of the Army too. While in HS, there was Mina and Lisa. Lisa is Asian. The closes I came to have sex was with Mina, was already and stuff, but some one walked into the room. We were in her grandmother's apartment. I was then off in The Army, sex never crossed my mind. I remember it was in September, and my room mate Curtis had a German girlfriend. He introduce me to her and every now and then I would see her about town without him. She would come up to me and we would talk. She introduce me to her girlfriends if they were around. At the clubs, she had plenty of her girlfriends around, and I would be introduced to them. One day she saw me and said that she has a sister th...

US Army Pt. 9 and Bob Segar

It was a Tuesday, I had a 3 day pass. This was in conjuction with a Training Holiday for My Batteries, so I had Friday off too. I didn't have any Guard Duty for Saturday & Sunday, plus I was owed a day, so I was off on Monday. 6 full days off, and all in a row!! Early that morning I was at the Banhof, buying a ticket to anywhere. I was really enjoying seeing the German Rat Race, going to and from, to work. It was nothing compared to a daily commute in NYC, but it was close enogh. Had me wishing I was home. One thing, I never once got homesick, strange huh ? I was standing on the platform, not waiting for anything, just taking pictures. This young woman was sitting crossed legged on the ground reading a newspaper. She had a brown wickered basket besides, I named her Little Miss Riding The Train Hood. My control of the German language at the time was horrible, I was known to say the wrong things in German. I approached her, and ask, while pointing to my camera, could I take some ...
