Back in The Late 80's....

...way back then, I got into...lets just say thingd that were happening then. The whole scene. Drugs. I'm not ashame, and I'm not boasting either, I sold and used...used more than I sold. This one Dominican guy, I sold for, it was after a night of spending about 1,100 dollars No hookers or any guys, just me alone. After spending my last 50, he made me an offer. He said 'you work for me?', and I said sure. For every 5 dollars, I made 1 dollar. I know that now that doesn't seem like a lot, but back then it was. The color was purple tops. What was different than any other colors that was out there, cause there was about 7 others, Black, Orange, Red, Yellow, Pink, Grey, theose were ran by the Dominicans. And Blue and White by the pueto Ricans..they all had a crew. Lookouts, steerers, Captains, Luetinants and sellers, all were on a salary, except for the seller he got a dollar a cap. Like I said, what was different was that it was just me, no one else. So the guy I was...

Something To Think About.

People come and go in our life every single day. Some die, and some just move away.There are times when a special some one enters your life, and then there gone. Gone on to another state, country, or they just pass away. When these people just decide to just up and leave, you question why? You do and say anything and everything to keep them in your life, your exsistence, but they want to move. This is one of those times. She started as a cashier, and just been in this country for about 8 months or so. I can pronounce her name, but she is from the Phillipines. Cute, pretty, nice complexion, friendly and she knows how to ride a skateboard. When we first talked, I asked her her age, and did she have a boyfriend. She told me that he broke up with her right before she came to this country. She also stated that she wanted to meet people, she wanted a boyfriend. Now, even though she is 22 years old, and that's too young for me, I thought about it. It wouldn't be fair to her, so I neve...

Its Hotter Than a Fuck...How Hot Is That.?

On onw of the hotttest days so far this summer, I come home ro a blazing, steamy hot ass apartment. I looked, and the key word here is 'looked'. I looked forwatd to jumoping in the shower, washing the sweat from the 8 minute walk from work off. The, with only my towel wrapped around me, and still half way dried off, turn on my fan, turn on tv, turn on dvd, and last episode 8 of the final season of lost. But nooooooo, 15 minutes into the show, the tv flickered off, and then back on in less than a second. Oh shit, this isn't a good sign. I marked it off as a power surge cause its hot, but into the 9 episode, the tv flick again..off, and STAYED THAT FUCKIN' WAY!!! WHAT THE FLYING FUCK is going on? I wasn't going downstairs to talk to the owner of the house about this shit, not my responsibility, nope its not. My house mate, she did. The son came upstairs, looked at the breaker box, and told us, he has to get the tools will be out of power for an hour. But he did come b...

The Big Spill

About a week ago, I sent out my resume to about 15 different companies. I want to help clean up this mess on our beaches...but get paid for it. Received 5 emails, and 3 phone calls from some of the companies. I think 2 of them, I didn't even apply for, but here is how this job works. Pay is anywhere from 300 to 400 a day, yep, that's right, A DAY. First there is a weeks worth of training, you have to have your certificates in order. If you don't have any, that's what the training is for. There are 3 different locations you can work. One, on the beach. 2, collecting what you clean up from on the beach. 3, processing what you pick up. From what I gather, turnover rate is crazy high, meaning, people work for about 4 to 6 weeks, get a little bit of pocket money, and then quit. I was told that I could make supervisor in about 2 months and then the pay is about 700 a week. 110 dollars out of your check a week goes towards you room, which you share in a 2 bed hotel room, all ...

Third Ave El (Elevated Train)

Image
In the 1960's, the remaining service of the Third Ave El was renamed the 8 (or #8). The final portion of the line that ran from East 149th Street in the Bronx to Gun Hill Road closed in April, 1973. On April 29, 1973, the Bx 55 Limited bus route replaced the Bronx's Third Avenue El. It only made the stops of the former rail line. The Bx 55 was one of the first bus routes in the city to have free transfers with the subway at the Third Ave-149th Street and Gun Hill Road White Plains Road IRT stations.
