WHAT IS THIS??

So what the hell is this?? Does this mean my sister is getting married?? One thing is for sure, it's not the ring I saw in the new Cash Money Millionaires video.

REACTION

This is the look on Petkovic's face after he saw the price of the ring. And the thought going through his head was "hmm....I think I saw a couple pawn shops and a goodwill down the street...I'm definitely not trying to spend this much money"

Mimi and Woody Visit

On the last day of their whirlwind tour of the Southwest and California Mimi and Woody paid us a visit. Here they are in the above pic (Woody, Mimi, ME)

We enjoyed a meal of Crab (see above), bread, and salad and a desert consisting of lemon tart and some sort of oranges.

My Chinese New Year Greeting (thank you Judy D, Li, Esther, and Jing)

SUPPLEMENTARY INCOME

Yes, it is true, I do work at a place called Children's Fairyland on weekends and holidays. Here's the photographic evidence. I figured that for all the harrasment and abuse I receive from you guys that it was time to bless you with a picture. But, let's think now...Who's the real dumby. The consumer savings rate in the U.S. has been hovering around "negative" for a while now, and let's not talk about our federal governments current-account deficit. Fairyland provides me with supplementary income which pads my 96-98% savings rate....so while you're off thinking of ways to make fun of me I'm watching my money stacks rise

WE'RE UNDER FIRE

Earlier this week the Google Tech Ops team fired these Styrofoam projectiles at us while we were working. I jumped in front of them to see if I could catch one in the eye and file for workers comp. But my plan didn't work, so all I got was a prolonged 5 minute break. (The text on the projectiles says "From Google Tech Ops with Love")

"GENTRIFIED,NOT DEFEATED, BUT I'M HARD TO HANDLE"

Googlplex Topography...Coastal Marshlands or Garbage?

So, let's be honest, working indoors for 8 hours a day makes you itch to get outdoors whenever the possibility presents itself. So me and my co-workers decided to explore the natural beauty surrounding the GooglePlex. For sometime I had been convinced that the "hill" across the street
was actually just a landfill, seeming as how the rest of the surrounding areas are flat and a similar landfill site sits on the direct opposite side of the bay in Fremont. Our trip up "vista slope/garbage hill" didn't answer my question, but did offer a nice arial view of the GooglePlex and a plethora of Rodents.
Another place of interest is the Permanente Creek, which runs right behind our building and is home to Egrets and these beautiful Mallard Ducks.

Heads of State Part II

In other interesting news Evo Morales was recently elected president of Bolivia. Mr. Morales received the strongest electoral mandate a president has received in Bolivia since 1960, winning 54% of the vote. Bolivia being a place where I have spent a significant amount of time, this particularly interests me. Mr. Morales is the former leader of the coca growers union and is the first non white/mestizo president of Bolivia. He is proud of his native Aymara indigenous roots and has pledged to legalize the production of coca and to nationalize all natural resources including Bolivia's natural gas reserves.

The Bush administration is set to staunchly oppose him, but this doesn't make sense....He's trying to legalize the plant which produces what "W" snorted while at Yale.

What he does in the ensuing months and years is up in the air, but what has particularly impressed me, as noted by the economist, is his high sense of fashion. In meetings with the King of Spain and Hu Jintao this past week Evo hung up the suit (actually he probably does not own one) and rocked the stripped sweater.... If Evo was a capitalist he would work at Google, I'm currently procuring a Evo Morales replica sweater.

Fun Fun Fun

So it was Danny's birthday today. "Michael" "Air" Jordan DJ'd the event with his laptop (Above) and Danny provided his own entertainment letting out a primal scream before cutting the cake, leaving security asking the question "what could he have done with a plastic knife"?

TOWER OF POWER

Tower of Power Greatest Hits is this weeks album of the week. Once again this album is brought to you by the OPL (Oakland Public Library) and sponsored by measure Q. Registered Oakland voters remember to support this measure if seen again on the ballot.


This album was recommended to me by my beautiful sister Winnie (above), who stars in the Amazing Grace Gospel Choir of Rome and the Rome Academy of Music Gospel Choir. FYI she also highly recommends Kirk Franklin for those of you that like Gospel...in particular the song Hosanna!!!!

Heads of State Part I

On November, 11th Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf became the first elected African female head of state. Her victory over soccer star and popular favorite George Weah will leave her with the tremendous task of running a country that has been robbed by former kleptocratic leaders, mainly Charles Taylor, and torn apart by civil war. As a Harvard trained economist President Johnson-Leaf will have her hands full trying to implement her plans for reconciliation and development with a meager budget of $80million. This week Ms. Johnson Sirleaf was officially installed as President. But, most importantly as she stated she hopes to raise the profile of women across the continent.


This week also saw Chile elect it's first female president, Michelle Bachelet. She becomes the third female head of state in Latin America and the first who is not the widow of a prominent male. Her victory was not as dramatic as Ms. Johnson-Sirleaf's, but shows that constituencies across all socio-economic backgrounds are prepared to accept female heads of state (Liberia, Chile, and Germany, most recently)SO.......


In the Land of Founding Fathers turned Single Mothers are we finally ready to break up the dominance of white male patriarchal leadership?? Hillary 20008??

Mixing Business w/ Pleasure

Partying w/ the c0-workers. from left to right: "Michael" Jordan, Amy (our excellent hostess), and.... yes, ME!!!!

MIDDLE HARBOR SHORELINE PARK

Opened on September 18, 2004 middle harbor shoreline park offers a unique look at Oakland's natural bayside beauty and its industrial and economic importance. Having seen signs for the park every morning on the way to work I decided to see what all the hype was about.
With ample and informative "signage" I learned a lot about local maritime activities and history and efforts to preserve some of the natural habitat.

But the most intriguing feature of this park is its location, with striking views of intricate industrial machinery and the beautiful bay it offers the best of both worlds. I highly recommend that YOU check it out for yourself.

Friday at the Plex

Wanna Buy a Bridge???

The Willis Avenue Bridge that runs across the Harlem River in NYC is for sale, for the whopping price of 1$. Included in the price is free transport within 15 miles of the current site and loading onto a barge. Maybe we can throw this up on the Oakland side of the Bay Bridge???

Yo-Yo Ma

This is the album of the week. Provided by the OPL (oakland public library) by measure Q. If you don't already do so, get yourself to the public library and excersize your tax payer dollars. This album is a nice mix of Yo on the cello with some bossa nova type beats and a piano player that sounds a bit like Schroader from Peanuts. Big Up yo-yo.

Welcome

Welcome....Yes, this is my Blog....hahaha. So get ready for my best unsensored banter.
