Get Real Nuh!!

They are here, get real.. Maybe they should not be, but they are and we have come to depend on them so we need to face reality and make the best of a not so bad situation.. 12+ million illegals of which 78% are Mexican. In my opinion the 12 million are not the problem, it’s the countries that they are coming from. America will always look more attractive to the disadvantaged poor in the countries that surround her. Their well-off don’t really care for "us", we are just a huge shopping mall to them, but their poor do not want to die poor so they will always come. You can build all the walls and install all the fancy surveillance equipment you want, they will find a way to come and keep coming.
Pull their cheap labour out of our economic equation and the consequences are gravely obvious; food will go way up, housing will go way up, the cost of maintaining and building roads will go way up, restaurant food will go way up, clothing will go way up, etc, etc. The remittances they send home ARE NOT a drain on our economy, in most cases we are their main importers therefore those same remittances are the cash used to by U.S. goods exported to the said countries. What about the OTM’s (Other Than Mexicans) living in places like New York and DC that have been in the U.S. for 20-30 years and just never bothered to get legalized because it was quite easy to just live and survive quite well in their own "Chinatowns"? Hundreds of thousands of such people exist in this country, do we put them out too?
No its not the Blacks fault. They are not sitting around on welfare refusing to do hard work. The vast majority of people on welfare in this country are white Americans period.
Who says when we should suddenly shut off the migration pipeline anyway? This country overwhelmingly consists of migrants and their descendants, whether they came of their own free will or not. Who decides when that stops and why??
For once I agree with GW; give the 12+ million amnesty, and then give others that still come illegally temporary work visas that last for a few years. Keep track of the latter and tax their income or remittances. Anyway the 12+ million don’t have to worry, this is an election year and neither party is going to risk loosing the second largest voting block in this country. So whatever the Immigration Bill outcome, we all know it will be a rather mild slap on the wrist.
Just my 2 cents!

My Dilemma, Part 2

Well I was to start shooting the Escorts (ho’s) a few weeks ago, (Yu hafi read "My Dilemma" fi know ‘ow dis come to be), but it is not quite working out.
The first chick is a really nice looking Filipino lady that does nursing. She want to switch over to the Escort thing to triple her income, but not let go of the legit nursing for now. She is a single mother and some times has to pull the night shift at the hospital. All that creates a problem; she can’t commit enough time to get the escort "job" off and running. She can’t even find a couple of hours to come and get her pictures done.
The second chick is a nice tall leggy blonde that just got a boob job. Seems like in the industry getting those "done" is quite common place. She says her doctor said she would be up and around in a week so she had big plans to have Mr. Pimp (sorry, her manager, and my customer) drive her over for the shoot. Her Doctor was obviously BS'ing her. Of course the real recovery time for a breast job is at least six weeks. I went to see her about a week ago; swelling, bruising, and drainage tubes everywhere. She won’t be in front of my camera for now, if ever.
Why do I say "if ever"? Well Mr. Pimp has all of a sudden disappeared (jail, hiding? who knows). I haven’t seen or heard from him in two weeks, neither has Miss new boobs. So glad I got a small deposit from him! He can "disappear" all he wants now. They say he does that sometimes. I don’t really care, its dirty money anyway, the less I have of it the better I sleep at night. Problem is I was to shoot these ladies in an empty condo I am supposed to be readying for rent, and its probably soon going to be occupied. Of course I definitely CANNOT bring that crowd to my home!! The girls, yeah maybe, but Mr. Pimp, HELL NO. Just can’t trust his kind. Well if something does not materialize in the next two weeks then this gig is as good as over. The Lord works in mysterious ways. I had no business fooling with those folks anyway. Got a couple Weddings coming up….a good, clean living.

I Don't Get This

I am one of those people that really scorns shared restrooms. I won’t say public because we should all obviously scorn those! By shared I mean in particular those at work. Whether #1 or #2 I always religiously scrub my hands, I try to touch as little as possible not only before, but after I wash my hands, and I use a paper towel to open the door on the way out. As you probably know that internal door handle is the nastiest thing in there as all who neva wash dem hand grab dat first! I also never flush the urinal or toilet until the stall door is open and I can make a mad dash away from the unit as I push the lever. Why you ask? Well what ever is in the bowl is sprayed at least 20 feet outwards because of the splash created by the flush. And you know those heavy traffic units have a much stronger flush than our units at home!
What really pisses me off though is how many people (is it only the men?) actually head straight for the door without any washing of hands. And I don’t know if is me alone notice this, and I don’t want to insert any type of racial bias, BUT how come 99% of the black man dem wash and about 80% of our Caucasian bredrin don’t. What de r*ss is up with dat?? I actually did a sort of poll or test over a few weeks and asked an office mate to do the same. SAME CONCLUSION! Are they in such a hurry to leave because a black man is in there with them? (joke mi a mek people). Why don’t they wash? Do blacks just want to waste as much time in the restroom as they can possibly justify (joke again). I don’t get it. One race is not any more tidy or healthier than the other. I know urine is supposed to actually be sterile, but still nobody wants to touch another man’s piss, let alone your own! An as for de other ting that is definitely a no-no!! Is it just the men?
All the female Caucasians that I have come into intimate contact with over the years (just a few!) have been quite clean and hygienic. About equally so with the black women. Can some female out there run a bathroom spy poll and tell me if the same applies? Are they rushing out of the restrooms too?
I really cannot figure this one out.

No Surprise Here

A good weekend laugh. No surprise for us guys, but it well funny still....


A store that sells husbands has just opened in New York City, where a woman may go to choose a husband.
Among the instructions at the entrance is a description of how the store operates. You may visit the store ONLY ONCE !
There are six floors and the attributes of the men
increase as the shopper ascends the flights. There
is, however, a catch .
. .. you may choose any man from
a particular floor, or you may choose to go up a
floor, but you cannot go back down except to exit
the building!
So, a woman goes to the Husband Store to
find a husband . .
On the first floor the sign on the door reads:
Floor 1 - These men have jobs and love the Lord.
The second floor sign reads:
Floor 2 - These men have jobs, love the Lord, and
love kids.
The third floor sign reads:
Floor 3 - These men have jobs, love the Lord, love
kids, and are extremely good looking..
"Wow," she thinks, but feels compelled to keep
going.
She goes to the fourth floor and sign reads:
Floor 4 - These men have jobs, love the Lord, love
kids, are drop- dead good looking and help with the
housework.
"Oh, mercy me!"she exclaims, "I can hardly stand it!"
Still, she goes to the fifth floor and sign reads:
Floor 5 - These men have jobs, love the Lord, love
kids, are drop- dead gorgeous, help with the
housework, and have a strong romantic streak.
She is so tempted to stay, but she goes to the sixth
floor and the sign reads:
Floor 6 - You are visitor 4,363,012 to this floor.
There are no men on this floor. This floor exists
solely as proof that women are impossible to please.
Thank you for shopping at the Husband Store.
Watch your step as you exit the building, and have a nice day!

Hillary, Condi & Yanksville

Looks like it fast becoming Woman’s Time fi true! Portia is about to become Prime Minister of Ja, a woman (well at least a girl) might inherit Japan’s monarchy, and Hillary will probably head up the Democratic ticket for 2008.
The Clinton camp has now gone from denial, to saying nothing, on to subtle hints such as the one dropped at Corretta King’s funeral. Sounds like she’s gonna run to me! Question is, can she win? Personally I doubt it. There is however one scenario that COULD ACTUALLY give Hillary a strong chance at winning and that concerns Condi. Senator John "Wayne" McCain of Arizona will obviously emerge as the front runner for the Republican Party, if he picks Dr. Condoleezza Rice as his running mate (VP) then Hillary will stand a good chance of snagging the White House. How come you ask ? DI is full of BS you say?
Well I probably am since Condi has said time and time again that she would never run for elected office. She is now in the habit of stating that as soon as this Bush term is over she is in fact going back to Stanford University to continue as a professor of political science. Sure hope not, 2008 will then be a really dull affair.
But think about the scenario mentioned above; Hillary is running as the Democratic Candidate with say a John Edwards as deputy, and McCain is on the Republican ticket with Condi as deputy. How would that play out in 2K USA?? Think about it. First of all Hillary’s presence alone would really polarize things, either people love her or really hate her. McCain is the republican tough guy, and in these times of terrorist dis and terrorist dat Americans are really looking for that tough guy image to "protect" them. And of course behind John Wayne McCain would stand smart and diplomatic Condi. BUT WAIT A MINUTE!! Condi is still black isn’t she?? How many Americans will actually have the nerve to put a black person so close to the White House, yes one heart beat away from becoming President of the USA. A BLACK WOMAN! I don’t think so. Yes she will get ALL the outward support and praises; little girl from rural Alabama rises straight to the top! Intelligent, smart, healthy (she works out at 4am every morning), says all the right things at the right time to the right people. Perfect candidate if she were a white male,…..but she is not, …she is a negro woman. That is what it will boil down to. Once in the privacy of that voting booth white America will be white America. That 80% of the nation will stop and say "Hold on, what on earth did I almost do?" They will either not vote for President and just do the local races or hold their noses and vote Hillary. Nobody will know about their change of heart. No fingers pointing "Racist!".
And it won’t be about racism either, it will simply be a lack of trust.
Lets say there are two families in a town called Yanksville. The Jones’s and the Smiths, along with all their offspring and descendants. The Smiths are the majority, they are simply just more of them. They always get to be town mayor because Smiths generally vote for Smiths. Some Jones folks vote Smith too and vica versa, but there are simply more Smiths so they always run tings. The Jones’s don’t really mind though, just so long as whoever is running tings is fair and does a decent job. They can live with the Smiths always being in charge because they do still get a say here and there and life is generally good overall. BUT looong time ago when the town of Yanksville was just being founded the ancestors of the Smiths really screwed over the ancestors of the Joneses. They stole stuff and raped some of the hottest Jones women of the day. But like I said that was a really looong time ago, and both the criminals and victims are now dead, buried and looong gone. Problem is the issue involving this screwing over of the Joneses was never really resolved. The older folks tried not to ever talk about it and glossed over the facts whenever the younger kids inquired as to how and why it happened. Today in Yanksville everyone still stays clear of that ancient incident. You are just not supposed to bring it up. The Joneses for the most part get along just dandy with the Smiths, they hang out together, their kids are in class together, they BBQ together, they fish together, they cry together, they laugh together, hell… they even have sex together. But nobody mentions that long unresolved stealing and raping incident looong time ago. Now and then when a Jones and a Smith get in a real heated argument the incident is briefly and cautiously resurrected, but only in the heat of that moment then you are expected to drop it.
One year when a new mayor was being elected a Jones somehow managed to muster up enough Smith support to possibly actually get a real chance at being elected Mayor of Yanksville. The Smiths really didn’t mind. The Jones folks were overall good people and really cared for and loved their town of Yanksville. " A Jones for mayor ? Why not" they thought. " Why should any of us Smiths really have a problem with that? The Joneses helped build this great town of ours!". But once in the privacy of that voting booth another thought took over, "Suppose they use this new found power to try and right that screwing over they got from my great, great, great grand pappy hundreds of years ago?? I personally had nothing to do with that! Suppose they take our tax money and try and somehow repay themselves for what their ancestors lost?? I don’t think so buddy, I can’t risk that!".
The Jones guy lost that election, but the folks of Yanksville still managed to live happily, but cautiously, ever after.

Taping a Video stream

I caught the last 45 minutes of the MARLEYFEST as I had a function to attend earlier. From what I saw it was pretty good. It was actually from somewhere in downtown Miami. Wish I could have somehow taped the video stream. Taping an audio stream for me is quite simple, that is right up my alley. Anyone have any suggestions or know of software that would allow one to capture streaming video for later replay seperate from the computer? I am more of an end user than a techie when it comes on to PC stuff.
