So If you happen to be in the Cali, especially in the Central area, you can catch me every now and then at Rock And Roe almost every other Wednesday depending on how busy I am...Location is Fresno, CA on Palm And Nees ;/ sorry forgot about the zip code *LMFAO* but it is right at the corner of that so you can't get lost...

It's a radio sponsor event that my local station started ever since Roe opened up, it's a sushi bar/lounge it's pretty cool, I don't eat fish though ;p if you wanna know more about it...swing by it's page at:

I was playing this song Last Wednesday...Yes I do a lot of covers right now...I just don't have the inspiration/time/or a full band to write my own songs at the moment...flying solo kinda sucks sometime...Brucey and Bono...I cover them a lot...mostly because they're easier to learn...*lol*

This song...sorta goes in with the time...Not the best vid...but was the only one I could find ;/

"Johnny 99" ~ Bruce Springsteen

Well they closed down the auto plant in Mahwah late that month
Ralph went out lookin' for a job but he couldn't find none
He came home too drunk from mixin'Tanqueray and wine
He got a gun shot a night clerk now they call'm Johnny 99

Down in the part of town where when you hit a red light you don't stop
Johnny's wavin' his gun around and threatenin' to blow his top
When an off duty cop snuck up on him from behind
Out in front of the Club Tip Top they slapped the cuffs on Johnny 99

Well the city supplied a public defender but the judge was Mean John Brown
He came into the courtroom and stared young Johnny down
Well the evidence is clear gonna let the sentence son fit the crime
Prison for 98 and a year and we'll call it even Johnny 99

A fistfight broke out in the courtroom they had to drag Johnny's girl away
His mama stood up and shouted "Judge don't take my boy this way"
Well son you got a statement you'd like to make
Before the bailiff comes to forever take you away

Now judge judge I had debts no honest man could pay
The bank was holdin' my mortgage and they was takin' my house away
Now I ain't sayin' that makes me an innocent man
But it was more 'n all this that put that gun in my hand

Well your honor I do believe I'd be better off dead
And if you can take a man's life for the thoughts that's in his head
Then won't you sit back in that chair and think it over judge one more time
And let 'em shave off my hair and put me on that execution line

Also I can be found at Sam's Pizzaria every now and then *lol* it's just 3 blocks from where I live and you can't ever go wrong with Pizza located on Olive and Chestnuts. Great place, very nice people and the pizza are all homemade and cooked in a real wood stove oven so you get that really smokey flavor *LOL*

Hmmmm Other than that...not much except getting emo from time to time...*LOL* I was really busy last week and a half ago? I was fighting against the city...they wanted to tear down a Hmong community garden and replace it with a police substation...WTF...so I was helping to organize a protest and what not...I even got to give a speech to the mayor and his minions...Long story short...no matter what you say, the mayor and his peeps that runs this town doesn't give a crap...You gotta love this city *lol* they tell you they want the community to get together and then they turn around a tear down something that IS bringing the community together...

A friend of mines told me that it was a waste of time for us to even try and I told him not exactly because we still won either way, with or without the garden...If we won, that's fine that we still got to keep the garden...If we lose the garden, we still would win either way because a lot of people saw us on the news and in person fighting with such passion about it,the whole city is waking up and was freakin' pissed at the mayor and the city council. My soc 2 teach always says "Silence is a sign of acceptance" and that's right

Yes yes, I'm an activist at heart...Thanx all to my friend Rosanna *LOL* people always get the notion that I hate this country but they got it all wrong!!! I love this country A WHOLE LOT...So much so that I'm willing to sacrifice everything to insure that we still have things like Freedom and Liberty in our constitution and that it could be shared with everyone. Patrick Henry once said something (don't remember the quote exactly...) is that the real patriot is the one that stands up to their own govt. when the govt. is doing something wrong ^^ that's freakin' PATRICK HENRY Dude

Aside from playing music and protesting...I still think about Jen a lot sometimes and it still kinda makes me sad about it...And I'll just leave it at that *lol* it's taking a loooooonng time for me to get over it...I don't cry as much anymore so I suppose that's a good start...

Also There is that someone in my life right now and I suppose you could say that I'm learning to love again...but it's sorta hard to do ;/

*lol* On a funnier note: This chick knew who I was and when she asked me if I make a lot of money for playing my music I told her no... and she just sort of got up and left *LMFAO* that like never happened before ;p

Other than that, my God Daughter's Mother took a pic a little Natty ;D *lol* just thought I'd share:


*lol* YAY! xD xD xD

Well, I'm usually on the go a lot so I get my gaming on the run...Uh Oh! Geek Talk *LMFAO*

For the PSP I picked up Valkyrie Profile: Lenneth Again...I love this game ever since it hit the Playstation awesome awesome awesome...Kinda morbidly depressing though I mean seriously...Check out the vids below:

Now if neither of those gets to you...You are one Heartless bastard *LMFAO*

Other than that I picked up "Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia" For the Nintendo DS and I'm sooo loving it right now...compared to the other games in the series this one is much more challenging and the best part is, is that they gave up on the crap anime style that they did with Dawn of Sorrow and Portrait of Ruins and going back to where it was originally supposed to be, Dark.

Tailored suits, chauffered cars
Fine hotels and big cigars
Up for grabs, up for a price

The dollar's up - down, you'd better buy the pound

The sights are on me
So what do you do
That's guaranteed
Hey little girl, you broke the laws
You hustle, you deal, you steal from us all

Come on, come on, listen to the moneytalk
