Here's a Nice Shot of San Francisco's Bay Bridge at night. How romantic. Uh, forget I said that. 

Dude, for $10, I got a wash, cut, stylin and a nice massage! What a bah-gain, ah! (read it again like a FOB) It was a clean massage; get your mind outta the gutter! 

The Brooklyn Bridge and Downtown Manhattan at Night. 

Nice shot of the Empire State Building just beyond the Manhattan Bridge 

I met up with my friend for dinner at 5 Fulton in Brooklyn. (My other buddy took the picture of us).

This is quite a view of downtown Manhattan. Notice that I'm walking on the Brooklyn Bridge and there's traffic right below. Dangit, I have something sticking outta my shirt pocket! 10-8-04 

Yup, I'm doin' the tourist thing, walkin' the Brooklyn Bridge into Manhattan. 10-8-04 

Is this perfect or what? This is the view from DUMBO (Down Under thee Manhattan Bridge Overpass). This is actually a view of the Brooklyn Bridge and Downtown Manhattan. 10-7-04

This is where the big name playahs and ballers from Harlem play. Some big timers started here! 

"Yeah, I'm a baller! What you mean you don't believe I can ball at Rucker? Check out my cross over move!" (10-8-04) 

"Whoo-wee! I ain't never seen so much electricity!" (Gray Davis, former Governor of California) 

"Golly gee! All them lights a-sparklin' in Time Square is sure kinda fancy! We don't get this in Meridian, Mississippi. No Sir-ee!" (10-8-04) 

Yes, I'm a tourist in Time Square, just like all those people from Nebraska behind me. Nice shot eh? 10-9-04 

Hey, I didn't blink! That's pretty uncommon! I guess I don't look as shiny as the newlyweds either. 

"A little nervous, are we? Just smile for the camera please" 

"Okay Pops (in-law), hand her over" 

Charles, that's a big smile! Of course, it's your wedding day (10-10-04)

Here's the view from the rooftop. It's pretty tight! You can see downtown Oakland. Dude, this place is NICE! 

Here's the Kitchen and Living Room. Yes, hardwood floors! Everything is brand spankin' new! New fridge, dishwasher, microwave, oven, stove, etc. 

Here's a Pic of the bedroom and walking closet. It's a good size, perfect for a young professional or a young couple! 

This is the new condo building where I bought a 1bedroom/1bath unit. Dude, I got this thing for just $280,000! That's a bargain in the Bay Area! 

Late Posting... on my PC Blog.... Those who know me read my real blog.

Well, I just closed on my first piece of real estate. This actually happened on September 23. My place is located on Telegraph Avenue and 24th Street in downtown Oakland. I hoping to rent out the unit, which is entirely brand new. The whole building is brand spankin' new. It's actually part of a pioneering effort to redevelop downtown Oakland. The Oakland City Council recenlty approved a policy to pour $61 million into that area to redevelop the area and turn it into a popular commercial and residential area. Here's some pictures of my gig. If you know anyone (or a couple) interested in renting it, give me a ring at 4-1-5-2-4-0-3-1-1-3.

A reposting...I took it down. But it's too good, too pertinent, too true to hide

Too often in my life I've been told by my church leaders and friends that women have a higher standard when it comes to choosing a partner. Often, we are told that guys are low down dirty rascals, who are just interested in what a girl looks like. Guys are POCs who don't look at a girl's personality or intelligence. We're just into the face and bod.

Girls on the other hand live by a higher standard. Girls are more interested in a deep relationship. They don't care what a guy looks like or anything superficial things like how much he makes or if he's got the bomb-ass car. Oh no, girls are more mature and they want a guy who's gentle, patient, kind, good listener.

Don't believe the hype....

I clearly remember one afternoon which I spent with one girl who spent the early part of lunch describing her horrific nightmare. She dreamed that she married a short guy!

Oh My GOSH!!!!!!! She just went off for several minutes talking about how she could absolutely never date, much less marry a short guy. In her dream she was tormented by her mother and her aunt who kept telling her that the short guy was good for her. She said that the horror of the dream caused her to wake up in cold sweat, almost about to scream out "NO!!!!!!!!"

Funny thing. That same girl told me another funny story at lunch time. And it totally relates to how Christian girls look for the right guy in their life. She told me the story about a man (but I'll call it a woman cuz it makes more sense that way). Okay so here it goes:

A woman finds out that there's gonna be a flood in her town. So she prays, "God, save me from the flood."

Well the waters roll in and the first floor of her house is completely flooded.

A neighbor in a blow up raft cruises to her second floor window and says, "Do you need a ride?"



She says, "No, God will save me from the flood."

The neighbor says, "Okay, well I offered."

The woman goes back inside her house and prays to God again, "God save me from the flood!"

The waters rise and flood her second floor, leaving the woman sitting on top of her roof.

A fireman floats by on a little boat and talks to her, "Do you need a ride in my boat?"



She replies to the fireman, "No, God will save me from the flood."

The waters rise even more and the woman eventually drowns to death.



In heaven, she asks God, "God, why didn't you save me from the flood?"

And God simply replies, "I sent you a neighbor with a raft and a fireman with a boat, what did you expect? An angel on a cloud?"

Ironically, my female friend who told this joke didn't see how it applied to her own life. She's one of those typical Christian girls who says that looks aren't important when it comes to the right guy for her. It's just that the right guy is not plopping into her life. The funny thing is that there are plenty of good Christian men around this girl and most Christian girls. I get sick of hearing "where are all the Godly men?" That's a load of crap. What these girls are really asking is "Where are all the Godly men who look as good as Tom Cruise and can sweep me off my feet?" "Where's Prince Charming?"

I know this is true because I've asked girls if they would date a guy who is the most Christ-like as possible, but...he doesn't take showers, doesn't wear deodorant, doesn't wear cool clothes, has a low paying job, which he eventually quits, and hangs out with losers. Well, most girls would not even consider this guy. "Heck no!" But then I tell them, this is a description of the human that Christ embodied when he was on Earth. Yes! Christ never wore deodorant, never experienced a modern shower, and was never saving money for long term retirement. His friends were tax collectors and prostitutes!

Well, so these girls are too good for even God? Wow, man, I guess all us normal guys are just scum of the earth. I guess we should just settle for the dogs. That's not bad. "Dog" is "God" spelled backward.
