all around the world

I just felt like saying that!

Actually, I haven’t been around the world yet, I am waiting for the lotto or Oprah to take me.

Then I can expand my collection of stolen glasses and make it International.

I started collecting caps; the premise behind the idea is that every time I go out of town ill buy a cap, so when I go to Boston next month, I'm gona buy a Red Sox Cap. In Philly* I would get a 76ers cap, actually no! Cus getting a basketball cap would be like betraying my Knicks. So id get a Phillies cap. The only Exceptions to the rule are Manhattan and New Jersey**. I went to Brooklyn the other day and I am mad at myself for not getting a Brooklyn cap***!

Right now I only have two caps,(and I know its sad), An Atlanta Cap (the first one i bought), I got that back in Sept, when I went to Atlanta, and I have my Miami "1966" Dolphins cap, that I got in.....****,

Maestro and Jan pay attention I really want a Raiders and a Dodgers cap*****. Nina even after you move you are gna help me pick a Bears cap.

To tell the truth, after Atlanta, Chi, Cali, Boston, Philly, and DC I don’t think there is too much I am going to look for. I mean if by some sad and unfortunate twist of fate I end up with a Denver Bronco's Cap, then so be it.

A few college caps would be cool too, Mt Holyoke, MIT, Harvard, Jackson State, U Chicago, Florida State (Yes Brian Ill put my Hatred aside), Lander, etc, etc.
I just want to be able to fill a room before i buy my bottle store at age 50.

I am not gona wear the caps, only thing ill take off is the price tag. Hopefully, overtime Ill get more and more. When I do get them, Time allowing id try and get em as different as possible.

Then when im old, senile, and drinking in my highly unprofitable bottle store in Zimbabwe (The one right next to my highly unprofitable butchery). Ill be giving people free beer on condition that they listen to my ramblings about the trip I took to Atlanta back in 06, where i Was in pain and thought I had broken my leg one day, and miraculously recoverd the next day******.



I need hobbies people drinking and Oprah don't count.



Ive got my time budgeted this Year. Hopefully Ill get a Caps United Cap Next Year. ...




* Or as my boy put it Killadelphia
** All Jersey has is Hockey teams, and that isn’t going to look good on my wall.
*** Yes I Go to Brooklyn that often
**** Pinky that means I got in Miami!!!
***** That’s really a "yo I’m letting you know now I’m gona come crash at your place soon!!"
******* U had to be there...

Seeking…….

I am a single black man that has recently re-discovered the joys of stealing glasses from bars, and restaurants.

I am looking for like minded individuals, preferably females, that will come out for a drink or two with a hand bag, that will fit a glass or two*.

Summer is fast approaching so it will be that much harder, to sneak out glasses without the large winter jackets/coats. On the plus side, there will be more bars and restaurants that will serve drinks outside, so it will be that much easier…..

I am very picky, plastic cups and glass bottles do not count, and neither do items from establishments that sell glasses their glasses or give them away.

Feel free to comment/email or call me.

I will also be looking more favorably at, respondents’ that will not only help me steal glasses, but actually buy me the beer too….




* Maestro if you want to carry a handbag, I will not discriminate and fuck with you too…

?

I get annoyed when people are like…….. “Oh, you live in Queens….I thought u had a half decent job…….Maybe when U make more money you will move into Manhattan”.

I just thought I would put this out there, cus I hear it too often………..

New York City is made up of 5 counties, which are also called Boroughs. Those 5 Boroughs/counties , Bronx/Bronx County, Brooklyn/Kings County, Manhattan/New York County, Staten Island/Richmond County, Queens/ Queens County, are just like any other county in the United States!

You have good parts and bad parts, granted per capita there are more rich people in New York County (aka Manhattan) than there are In Kings County (aka Brooklyn), but there are also many, many, many bad parts in Manhattan just like any other county in the United States………..

End of the day its all New York, where a One Bedroom in a bad part of Queens, will cost u $800.00 as opposed to the 2, 3 or 400 in Texas………..

I have had people come here and say, “Oh Queens is not that bad”. I think that’s so retarded, that’s like going to South Beach in Miami Dade county and saying” Miami is not that bad”. If I took them to Lil Haiti, or Overtown in Miami, which is the ghetto out there, they would say this part of Miami is bad. That will not make the whole of Miami Dade county bad. Same with any borough in New York City, There are Good Parts and Bad parts…

I love Eddie Murphy but I hate the movie “Coming to America”. I don’t like the way it makes Africans look naive and backward. Which is a Stereo type the general populace here endorses of Africans. Now that I live in Queens, I hate the flick even more, cus much like how anyone that has never been to Africa, thinks Africans act like the way they do in that movie, they think people that live in the outer boroughs are struggling (like how it is in that movie).

I know it’s a movie, its comedy. But like how I tell my New Yorker friends, come to Africa, and ill show you how off ur train of thought is… To my African Friends that have never been to Queens, Brooklyn, Staten or the Bronx come to New York and I will show you how off u are too….

Simple Simple man.....

Earlier.....

Watching the Knicks almost beat the Pistons on TV I heard one of the presenters, Walt Frasier use the word "vociferous".

I was so intrigued that I looked the word up and now I am going to try my hardest to use it in a sentence tomorrow.

I might even do something "vociferously", just so that I can use it in a sentence*.






* I think I am starting to realize why I am still single......

Dear New York

I Love You...!


I know it would be cheaper and life easier living in any other American city, (considering id get paid the same).
I love u Almost to a fault.

I love ur people, ur music, ur streets ur buildings and ur neighbourhoods (Even Brooklyn). I almost disowned a close friend when she blasphemously said that London TOWN was more culturaly diverse than you!!! I love u that much...

I think I came into my own here.

Through ur music I grew up here, I already knew about the Bronx/Boogie Down, Brooklyn/Crooklyn, Manhattan, Staten/Shaolin and Queens before I even set foot.

There is no judging here, people that live in Brooklyn talk diffrently from people In Queens, or the Bronx. I like the way u treat people that grew up in Virginia and people that grew up in Africa the same, untill U incorporate them and make them natives!


I Know people that have moved out and moved back! I know people that are too scared to try you.

Me and you know that, you have to walk the walk, and talk the talk, New York, New York to understand.....

Dear Friend's

I'm happy yaal are coming to New York.

Just a couple a things...

1...... Bring Money
2...... Buy Alcohol
3...... Bring cute girlfriends
4...... Did I say bring money???
5...... Brooklyn is an evil, evil, evil place
6...... Leave ur dodgers caps at home,MaestroAmado
7...... leave me at home, when u go shopping!!!!!!

Dear Summer

I know Jay- Z did a song about you, but that was almost 2/3 years ago tho.

Truth be told I fell in love with you back in Miami, where it’s pretty much summer all year long.

I'm looking forward to you this summer. I have been cold, and bitter, and been discouraged from going out a lot during winter.

I have friends coming to visit and friends moving into NY.

I think I am a little less of an African man because I haven't been to a barbecue for a while now. Now that you are here, I am going to crash as many as possible this summer.

I am going to play as much ball as I can, and go to as many concerts as possible.

Summer I'm happy you have come back to me!!!!!!!

Jus one more Day

I’m in a good mood today!

I gave up coffee and energy drinks for lent, I get an adrenalin rush just thinking about how I’m gna fill myself up with redbull and my beloved/hated starbucks on Tuesday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tomorrow is Good Friday, gna try my hardest to not to eat meat. I have been eating rabbit food for the two last weeks on my detox (which finishes tonight); I think I can go all out for one more day!
