Montgomery Aztecs - hang out ..inspired story from someone back then...

  Montgomery Aztecs- hang out - inspired story from someone back then..
   Hey classmates , are you enjoying the flash back into the past , here's another spot , remember ? Ok.. After football games , alot of us.. would get in our cars and head to Chula Vista , Broadway's - Roberto's a taco shop that had windows all the around the restaurant , so you could see everything outside. It had benches with tables outside. It was a cool place to sit by your car , play some jams or sit on the table and look at the girls inside.. Rose , Soly , Darlene , Diane , Joanne, Myra, Diane,Joyce, Kathy, Janie, Marie, Grace, Eileen, < ok , maybe the names are not right but you get the idea . We or my group Joe, Jonas, Fred , Alvin , Jerry , Ale, George, Roger , Virnie, would show off doing either martial Arts moves or the popular pop locking moves.. Alot of the times it was just a way to hang out after a game and maybe get a word with one of the many pretty girls that attended Montgomery. I might be giving too much credit to the girls at my school , but I will say back in the day our lady Aztecs would out look any of the girls from southwest , bonita , Chula vista , Sweetwater,, Hilltop.. We had and will always have the prettiest , coolest and at times the toughest girls around.. Not saying I saw alot of girl fights , but when they dud do their stuff , bar none they were ther best fights .. Why? Girls just fight , dont care how they look , no bull shit , just grab hair, punch faces and rolling to the ground . yea,, vicious./. Not like us. guys . We pose alot. we talk alot , push and all that. I mean some of the fights were lame, but the reputation of Montgomery was unjust. Sure , we had the perception of gang land school . because of the fights. But on most cases, we were a good group , and we had many great students. But as kids with raging hormones and uneven emotional states , of course your gonna have conflicts. But because we were a multi-racial school , I feel we were better apt to react and respond to the real world. So, goes Roberto's Taco shop , it was ours to claim and we all knew after the games this was like out unofficial hang out. Not only that , the burritos and tacos at this place has a fond place in my heart. The laughs and the posing by the girls and boys was hilarious , we all wanted so much attention from each other. We wanted to impress each other so much , we wanted to express ourselves so much. I know our sports teams were not very good during our time , but our parties and our gatherings were one of a kind. I enjoyed the excitement of who was there or where to go to next was always the thrill. The many parties we all attended during our high school days were fantastic. Whether it was the keggers with the white boys and girls. or the over the top food at Filipino parties.. or wild Mexican music parties , I will always cherish.. But I believe what was important to all of us , is that we all loved one another and were so protective of our school and our classmates. Sure we fought and made fun of each , but when outsiders talked shit,.especially at sporting events , we were very vocal and supportive of the Mighty Aztecs.. I know alot of wish those days lasted longer , but alot of us also wanted to start our lives and careers and find ourselves. Based on the many FACE BOOK , friends I realized everyone enjoys the recollections of all the memories I can recall and that I get reminders and requests.. I hope this stroll down memory lane was enjoyable and brings about more images that are truly yours. I want to thank my fellow Aztecs and Mayans that enjoy my journey through memory lane and even for a moment imagine if.... until the next story take Care .. The Source Productions @2011.

SOUTH SIDES " THE PITS " inspired story from someone I once knew..

 SOUTHSIDES "THE PITS" inspired story from someone I once knew..
  Ok, guys and girls , this place was a special place for some of the white boys Lon , Layne, Guy , Mark, John and myself. Ok the location is in South San Diego , by the 805 freeway at the east end of Palm Ave, by Palmridge park. back in the day that was all dirt roads , In fact once upon a time my baby brother took his brand new Toyota 4x4 AND GOT STUCKED. I heard about it , I think I was working making money. I had too , to pay for my brand new truck. Toyota 4x4.. Ok, lets back track a bit., back in high school the racers , the guys with fast cars like to cruise their and break out the kegs of beer , bonfires and trippy talks and jokes. It wasn't a particularly a nice spot, because that where we all dumped our trash , like tires , batteries , oil , etc.. I know that's not environmentally safe and the fools that bought homes there are probably gonna have issues in the future.. I mean we called the place the pits .. because it was a haz waste dumping ground. Im sure any water down there is contaminated and the soil there is not very good. I sure would eat any fruits from any vegetation growing in those backyards. but hey.. what can you do? We liked to play our loud music. AC DC , VAN HALEN , RUSH , JOURNEY , BLACK SABBATH , were just some of the band blaring in those days.. We also did dum stuff like racing cars and trucks or doing dangerous maneuvers around that tricky and steep area. Did the cops police the place, yes and no.. but most of the time ., we were left alone. But when that one night , when it got out of control, I wasn't there , but I heard one of the girls got raped. Am i surprised , yes and no, Imean alot of guys , drinking , girls flirting , secluded area,, yea it was a bad scene ready to happen. Well , after that incident , police activity increased and before long it became a off limits and prohibited area. The place we once went to party was gone,. But the memories of watching some of the girls. Linda. Lana. , connie , cathy. I know im missing alot of names but that was ages ago. But one thing is certain.. The Pits was a memorable place for the rockers  surfers , and racers of the the south side . We weren't a big group , but I must say some of the best keggers were done by these groups , we called the loadies , the stoners.. I really miss those days with my rock partners, but like everything in our young lives , things had to change. We soon graduated and went our separate ways. I know we said we would stay in touch forever , but I know now we needed to split up and find ourselves..Which after all these years , I've found out through my Face book connections , That those party hardy white guys were totally the best ber drinking guys in South side or any where else in San Diego.. For those about to rock < we salute you!!., A classic AC DC song.. Bot those were some fun and crazy times.. I hope for those who were there , a look back in time will open up your fond memories of one the the most popular sites in South Side., san Diego.. Until the next memory for my Mayans and Aztecs of Montgomery.. Take care and enjoy!! The source productions @ 2011.

My profile shot? Montgomery Aztec for life!

My Profile shot - Montgomery High Aztec for life!! inspired story from some I once knew..
 First of all , I was so unprepared for that photo session, I was late , didn't shower or wash hair ,. I was freaking up all night drinking all kinds of alcohol, with guy and friends.. So yes I was drunk , stinky , and sleepy and I still went through it. In fact I told the lady, when I got there lets just reschedule , I'm not ready , I look horrible I said. She said , well your here anyways, lets see what happens,. and then when u get the proofs then decide. I said , ok.. what the fuck right? So what seemed like forever , she took many shots and kept flirting with me. She was a good looking lady , but I was 16 years old and still a virgin.. really? Yea,, believe me. I may have started drinking and partying at a young age,. but I was not sexually active.. ok.. Perception is hard to explain , and I know alot of the girls I knew back IN Montgomery must have thought I was a horn dog,. Well I was , but no one wanted to play.? So , that's my quick hit story on this picture. Well I got the proofs back and I was surprised , in fact selecting the photo for the year book was hard to do,.I think I asked one of the girls back then Diane , Rose , not sure , But one of the pretty girls back then make the selection, so blame them.. haha. Well anyways. My quick throw back story , that my long lost class mates seem to love to read about. I mean High school was not that fun was it? Oh well , another toss back into memory lane .. I must say , I get alot of compliments about that photo and I get alot of hazing from my guy friends , yea, pretty boy. gay boy,,, sweet as a girl... I know I told u I looked better than alot of girls back then and get this I only weighed 120 lbs/ Imagine that.. I'm no where near that weight now, and if I tried to get there I would die.. But it's my trademark photo and its the pixs that seems to get my classmates to remember me quicker than any other photo.. ah,.. I also used that shot for my audition for the taco Bell commercial , that many of the good looking guys tried out for at South western San Diego State Theatre club.. but that's another story to tell , at some other time... Take Care and keep reading my stories.,. I love to write and I know you guys and gals love to read!! The Source Productions @2011.

FACE BOOK - IS IT REALLY A GOOD SOURCE TO CONNECT..?

FACEBOOK"IS IT REALLY A GOOD SOURCE TO CONNECT>>?"INSPIRED STORY from someone I once knew..
  Is Facebook a good source to reconnect with long lost friends. Well , I haven't been a long time member , but in just a short time I touched and reconnected to so many long lost friends. Now , is that good , I mean as much fun the past was for alot of us. We also had enemies or failed relationships. right. But that was many years ago, You cant possibly carry a grudge for that many years and do we all know why we liked or disliked one another. For me.. Yes. I remember Jr High School too much.. I remember the pretty girls that went to Montgomery Jr. and Montgomery High and South west , and Hilltop , Bonita, and wherever else I went to seek out girls. How the hell i was able to get to all those schools at a young age is incredible. I do remember taking the bus alot,. getting rides from older kids. Driving illegally.. remember that, well i do,. one day when my dear mama was shopping at Sears I took her keys or borrowed them , saying I was going to get something out of the car. instead I went to the key shop and had dups made.. What a sneaky kid.. ?well she had a bumble bee color mustang.. you blame me? Well anyways.. I've seen pictures of girls I used to have a crush on.. well honestly i think I loved or liked  every girl.. at school u name them ,, Cat , Kathy , Laarni , Rose , Joyce . Joyce from south west , Ann from Bonita , Missy from Pq, Sherry , Joanne , Jojo. Darlene ???..gosh i was horrible. Maybe that's why I could not  hold  a relationship ..I bet all the girls must have said , " yea he said that to me too.. haha. I guess that's why I had to seek female love from girls at other schools. Was that bad..? oh hell yea, but it was me. and To be honest , if I could go back in time. I would try to same girls again,. but with the mind and wit I have now,. I will sway them.. Right ? Ok.. wild thoughts , but that's why you like to read my stuff. Right.? You want pleasure , comedy , insight , wisdom,, or simply you want to be entertained,.Well whatever the case I enjoy sharing these memories with you all. It's funny how small the world is. I mean I was fb with friends commenting on a profile picture when i recognized a name? My fb friend said yes, that's her last name back in the day.. Wow.. what a trip huh? well what did the source do,, yup,.,, I requested a Friend request.. My gut feeling she wont accept. I mean back in the day she used me and abused me for two whole weeks before I caught her with her ex.. Yea,,, Maybe i deserved it but it still hurts you all recall those days when someone dupes u before u can.. I mean we all have egos and back in the day this skinny ass boy who wanted to be the next Bruce Lee was very hurt.. But back to the fb deal. Yes. despite some of the revelations I have encountered in fb. Overall I think it's one of the greatest things ever created and i use and abuse for my personal and professional uses. I know it may not be a good way to reach to some people but , if you get hurt or sensitive about personal request or professional inquiries , than maybe you are too sensitive and you need to step away from the source. Because one thing is for sure , the source don't play. He write and states his feeling for all to share , love or hate , but its out there. The ability to touch people , with so many emotions is a gift the source relishes and has strong desires to increase his emotional attachment to all of you.. Finally, enjoy face book , but do be careful what u say. I mean some people take pictures of blogs and fb images and use it or will use it for their own personal gain, or professional , but it doesn't matter to me. Whatever pleasure or gain you may get is totally cool with me.. In fact I encourage all of you to share my blogs with family and friends.. laughter , tears , insight these are all the ideas and thought I want all of you to encounter in my journeys through the past ., present and future stories I seem to encounter.. Until the next story ,. Take care and Be happy! The source productions @2011..

USS PELELIU- DAY 5,6,7- DUTY DAY= INDOC DAYS

 USS Peleliu- Day 5,6,7,-Duty Day= INDOC DAYS.. inspired story by unknown source..
  ok, It's been a while since I posted anything about my new command. Why? Its been very tiring , work at 6:00 am - off at 1300 or 1400. But during those times we are moving boxes , parts , up from the pier on the brow onto the quarterdeck = hangar bay.. Yea, tiring is the least descriptive term i can possibly use. I haven't worked that hard since my last sea going command and that was once in awhile. This has been telling on my body , i mean my feet hurt and my arms too. But all in all Its been ok. I mean we haven't gone underway yet,. but that's coming and I'm not looking forward to getting sea sick and head aches and all. But hey got to do it. Am I cool with the duties I have , sure it's alot of work, stowing , moving parts and making sure receipts are accurately maintained, Is there characters on board , you bet , In my division I nicknamed probably the loudest , funniest and goofiest brother u can meet. He's like a wanna be politician , I mean he's greeting people including officers like their his best buddies, i mean they act they are so why question him?. Except for one first class , she's made sure to explain to him , in front of me.. u don't do that type of greeting to officers , no matter they are relation or what.. But u know .. he keeps doing it and I'm sure he will continue " oh his nickname is action Jackson.. or Michael because he thinks he can sing and dance.. u know.. Well I'm trying to keep a low profile , but the real me keeps revealing itself every once in awhile, I mean I'm not advertising myself, in fact one the first classes from my last command is the one giving me props to the new first class. I'm playing humble.. wow , what a acting job. huh? But I'm doing what needs to be done and accepting all schools and training I can possibly get. It seems like we have a good crew but I'm still observing our chief is a old school , no play , in your face chief that is firm but fair, I like that , i mean you know where u stand,. She sets her standards and sticks to them and expects you to adhere , if not she lets u know. The new check ins are getting used to the routine , but I see they are still unsure what needs to be done,.including myself. Eventually I will get it , but for now I'm just observing and absorbing information. Oh on my last duty day my amigo,, bought the other vato loco subway and a coke. we ate it while watching tv.. relax day. did some cleaning and boom the day is over. But this upcoming one is a full Saturday , wow,. looking forward to that one. One thing is for sure I like how the division is being run. You have takings , you get them done , and then you post , or leave for you civilian folks.. The day starts early , but it beats the morning traffic and when we leave at 1400, we beat traffic home , unless some dum ass southern cali driver flips his car or a mac truck blocks the freeways.. But u can't prevent that unless you fly.. Oh Indoc is boring , and makes me sleepy.. its a fight to stay awake , but we have a gung ho first class ready to tell u to stand up if he catches you sleeping. Oh,, one of the chiefs took a shipmates phone away when he was texting or what during class. Oh well , nothing else to report other than more parts to move tomorrow another day of indoc and duty day in the future. I;m staying low profile , how long it stays that way , we will see , but I have shown glimpses of my hyperness and humor. But I;m holding it down for now until I get the feel of things,, then after that only God knows if the source and his personality comes out. But for now the source is an observer , making notations and mental notes about ship life and the characters on board. Oh , we have alot of pretty young girls , but I'm not messing with that , if u know what i mean. I have a job and a purpose to attend to and young girls will only hinder or destroy my future goals and aspirations. The real test is when this ship goes underway and lets see how this crew and myself respond to sea life again. Until then relax and enjoy the exploits of the silent , observing , getting along source .. wow.. I guess u can teach a old dog a new trick.. THE SOURCE PRODUCTIONS@ 2011.

mythesource-favorites- youtube videos Jan 25,2011 based on unknown source..

mythesource-favorites-youtube videos- Jan 24,2011..inspired by old school pop lockin- Montgomery ..
  Ok, I know i have promoted this site for over a month and have asked my many friends and co workers to watch , promote and enjoy the videos I have made thus far. The inspiration is simply the pleasure of entertaining people , first the family at parties and now the general public and friends. The Martial Arts Demo was very exciting and dangerous , I mean I'm using real cocobolo hard wood that can kill or maim people or animals. The Kali sticks are authentic Filipino fighting sticks from the trips to the Philippine Islands during my duty in Japan. I enjoyed doing all the videos and using my sons as assistants, was and will always be fun and pleasurable. My son Brandon Lee is a very good dancer and is part of a Lake Elsinore dance crew that performs at school Pep rallies and football games as well as parties. MY baby boy Martin has performed his guitar performances at the annual Murrieta music festival. Most notable his long version of Black Sabbaths Iron Man.. If anything I'm very proud of my sons and myself performances and I hope you all continue to support me and encourage me as I will come up with more video ideas and performances. Like I said , the old school music is what really inspires me and i plan to do dance routines featuring those bands in my future video presentations. Gap Band , Zapp Band , Cameo , just to name a few. Once again , thank you for your support and keep the source alive ! I really enjoy the comments and reviews I receive , it only motivates me to write more about my past , present and ideological views about life and human nature. the source productions @2011..

BACK IN THE DAY WITH MEL..Montgomery Pride! inspired by my friend Darlene..

  Back in the day with Mel.. Montgomery Pride..
    I've communicating with friends from the past .. and what I'm finding out is despite all of us growing up and getting careers and raising kids. We are still kids at heart, What I mean is we still have our insecurities and our fears about the future. I know the past is done and as much fun it is or was to look back , those days were awkward times. We have storming hormones and wild thoughts and dreams.. I mean I think I loved or liked every girl at school,. I had flirty eyes and a flirty mouth , no wonder no real girlfriends back in the day. Am I sad , no not really, to be honest we will all to young to really know what is love? We were too young to decide on what we would wear that day? But we all went through the motions of being happy and being silly to hide the fear and ego issues we had. Right? If you were shy , you acted tough and wanted to be different than your real self.. Describing myself ,maybe. If you were ugly you acted like your were fine or good looking and no matter what people said , you didn't care.  The smart ones studied hard and was afraid to get low grades, I recall taking a class with Grace , and we competed on grades , I think she beat me at the end but the competition was fun and electric.. Was I a good student ., yes and no  I think I had a 3.5 grade point average and was accepted to SAN DIEGO STATE , LONG BEACH STATE, but I applied for USC , UCLA.. but the classes I choose were not at that level , despite the grades. So I settled for Southwestern College. Getting my AA degree in Pre-law,, yea I wanted to be a lawyer , at one time. I also wanted to be a martial arts star like Bruce Lee. Studied Theatre arts as a minor and did some plays and stand ups at Southwestern and SDSU, I even auditioned for a Taco Bell commercial back in the day,. I did extra work for some movies , but I got frustrated so I went into law enforcement , and eventually Military.. So , what am I getting at.. Back in the day we all had wonderful dreams about being something big. But reality sets in and now we are working hard , worried about our kids , our bills , mortgage payment. Life.. But one thing hasn't changed , that is our pride in our school and our class mates. Its a great feeling , even after all these years away from them , we all still care and love one another. If you had a connection with old friends its still there , but if you didn't years away does nothing to that relationship right? I think one of the things Ive discovered about my old friends is that they don't care we you live or what you earn ? Or what kind of car or house you own,, if anything  i found they care about how are you? The person , the soul, the friendship. You can't make connections happen , it's either there or not.. >? But one thing for sure I'm glad the friends I have reconnected to Alvin , Jeff , Guy , Glenn , Rose , Soly , Kathy ,Janie, Cat , Carol , and especially Darlene ,  wish all you well and hoping someday we get together and share that Montgomery , South San Diego Pride that never left us.. To those friends I  love you all.. and Thanks for accepting in our busy lives,.,.Take care always and enjoy the memories I pass down because they are all precious and wonderful..

NFL CHAMPIONSHIP WEEKEND SPIN JAN 24, 2011

 NFL CHAMPIONSHIP WEEKEND SPIN - JAN 24, 2011
  First of all the favorites won their games AND order has been restored somewhat in this year of the unpredictable. I mean we have the leagues MVP candidate in Aaron Rodgers , who can throw and run almost as well as any other QB IN THE LEAGUE. When you watch him , its like watching Joe Montana of the 49ers , just picking apart defenses and running at will to drive defenses crazy. Then You have the Big Mac Truck in Big Ben who not only throws well but can run when ask to and can evade pass rushers to get that extra time to throw to the open receivers. Time and time again watching that game , he always found time and connected on so many plays. The Jets simply ran out of time and energy. The Steelers not only dominated , but beat up the so called trash talking bullies of the NFL. I know I said the Jets would win, but I had sentimental rooting cause for LT. Wow, LT , once again does not have a great game and didn't really contribute to the outcome of the game.  As for The Packers and Bears , that game started out to be a route and with the Injury of jay cutler and his inability to play , Lovie Smiths decision to play Todd Collins was horrible and a waste of time. Only when he went with the unheralded rookie Chad Haney , did the Bears make a comeback and oh what a story that would have been . Think about it  a 3rd string no body , coming off the bench and winning the NFC Championship game. That my friends would of been historic and of course hollywoodish ending. But reality settles in and what we have is two very good defense and two very good if not great quarterbacks with outstanding skill sets , but different in the way they approach and play their position. Rodgers is the strong armed accurate passer that can run to yards. While Ben is that strong , scrambling QB that runs when he needs to and is a load and a half to tackle. The results are alarming. Big Ben doesn't or will ever have sparkling stats , but he wins,.Two Super bowls and a chance to win a third , in a season he didnt even play in the first four games. He may not look pretty but his is effective , kind of like a heavyweight champion back in the day Rocky Marciano , undefeated , not pretty when he fought , but when the time came to step up , he did and thats why he was undefeated like Big Ben in Superbowl appearances. I know Las Vegas has placed Packers as the favorites , but I see the Steelers winning thier 7th Super bowl,,. Amazing..

Final words: I believe Lovie Smith has made his last coaching stand at Chicago.

The Jets will recover and make another run at the title , but LT time to win the Superbowl is closing , not because the Jets are going to be bad , but I see LT , not having the health or skill set to stay on this team. When he had a chance to score that TD , he want even close. Some Players just never have the luck to win that Big Game . Barry sanders , Jim Brown, OJ Simpson, LT. But they all are great players and worthy of Hall of fame credentials.

Montgomery Mayans and Aztecs Pride! inspired by Rose and Darlene..

 Montgomery Mayans and Aztec Pride! Inspired by Rose and Darlene..
  It's Jan 23,2011 and when I went to my face book account , low and behold a photo of the girls, I mean throw back , back in the day photo.. It blew me away, why? Ok.. feathered back hair like Farrah fawcett Majors, ok I'm dating myself but who cares? The Big eyeliners, the black and the blues.. are u kidding me.. They wore that ? haha, I mean , these days , that would be so out of date huh? But that's how we ran back then. I mean the guys had the long feathered back hair. How gay was that? But we all wore that hair style.. We all wanted to look the same , act the same , talk the same , everything.. Gross right? Oh no. I thought it was kind of cool , yeah we had the rebels in the group that wore the different clothes , and listened to to that different music, But the majority of us wanted to be so alike.. But I must say , cruising around school was fun. you remember. How we used to say hi,, instead of saying hi , like the White folks did, we did the head bobbing or the eye raising , or waving of the hands deal.. I mean the normal kids or the properly trained ones must of thought we were gand bangers flashing gang signs.. Maybe ,, at times. but not always right
haha. I think one of the classiest things we did as kids was just being together , sharing times int eh hallways .. talking about each other. making fun of each other.I mean the girls back in the day we very , whats the word, Independent and strong minded, us guys were Little bit intimidated by that , maybe that's why we didn't hook up or get together as much as we should of.. Or maybe we just had too much egos to admit that these girls , especially the younger class mates were hot . But we survived .. right. the teachers strikes, the running off to seaport village , orJ street Pier , Balboa Park, The Silver Que in Chula Vista.. you guys remember . The Pits,., where my white boy friends would party .. Back in the day the end of Palm Ave was a dirt area , where we dumped our trash and party until the morning, Now it's Housing called Palm ridge area.. yeah those were the days.. and by popular demand I will retell some of my stories about those days and places. But for now ,for today.I loved recalling those days with the cool girls , with the guys with the long hair , angel flight pants and tight nylon shirts .. gosh that would look so silly on us today huh guys? But those were the styles that made us smile.. until the next story from the blast form the past. Enjoy Life. Mel Paras Productions@2011 and The Source Productions@2011..

FIGHTFORTHETROOPS.COM

FIGHT FOR THE TROOPS .COM- UFC FUNDRAISIER-JAN 22,2011
 This was a awesome event put on by UFC and Spike TV, I really loved the emotion and excitement this event drew. Basically it was UFC fight card with highly rated up and coming fighters. The fights in themselves were entertaining , but the reason for the event was more compelling. This is a event to raise money , and awareness for our heroes , Us - Military types that go into harms way and receive life changing injuries , especially brain damage. The stories were heart breaking and soul finding , I mean I can't see anyone calling that not a worthy cause. It touched home because I'm in the Military and I know we don't take getting injury as a thought , but accidents and injuries do happen and its good we have groups and people that look out for us. I mean believe it or not we do put our lives in harms way. Well I know we do that driving on our crazy freeways , with our lane cutting , no signalling , speed racing local drivers everyday , but that's beside the point. I really liked the idea that theres is something being done about brain injuries and I just wanted to give a shout out to this event and website. One of the wrestlers Joe Barry , lost his father went his was a young boy of 6 and all he got was his father's dog tags. I thought that was a touching and real heart wrenching story. The crowd shots you could see these warriors of the military tear up. I mean no matter what training we get or hard we toughen up our emotional side , we are still human beings that care about one another and want everyone to be able to live life happy ad pursue happiness. I mean It should be that way , but life , like the war we are engaged in is very unforgiving and unpredictable. That's why I like to live each day like it's my last. Do what you have to do , but also find time to do what makes you happy. Reading , Writing, exercising , game playing , what, just do it! Life is very precious event and alot of us need to be reminded of that. I would like to give this event and web site .. fightforourtroops.com A LOOK and if u can donate some cash and support for this wonderful group of people. We are proud Americans and I hope and Pray for peace , but understand that , we often have to fight and stand up to those who don't want such ideas. Until my next story take care!

USS PELELIU -DAY 3 AND 4--THE MEETING OF NEW CREW!

USS PELELIU DAY 3 AND 4 - THE MEETING OF THE NEW CREW!
 OK, another busy day some 30 pallets today and a total of 100 pallets since I have been aboard. Am I tired ?Hell yea,, am I sore ?Very ,am I happy? Well , I must say I've met alot of people already and some have been really cool especially my LS crew , but theirs others that don't like the fact I got new pillows and bed sheets and a pretty good rack. But I'm not worried about that. What got me today was the Meeting.
  Well like i said after a long day moving parts and making sure my spaces I'm responsible for are good for Chief. We the new crew.. Two LS1's and 2 LS'2 and one, LS3 , were bitched at about not being busy , about not staying late and not be more proactive.. I know i haven't been on aboard a week , but that's ship life. Once you check in or report for duty, they expect you to be ready to roll. No excuses. For me, I'm good on that, In fact I have duty tomorrow and I know I need to stay on board so I can walk around and really get know what's going on. This is a big ship with alot of spaces and people around. The mess decks and food still suck , and some of the people attitude suck , but I'm ok with that. I need to focus on what I need to do and I'll be ok.. I start indoctrination on Monday.. three weeks long. But that's ok.. I know after that time is up , The Command and my Chief is going to expect alot from the new crew. We also go under way very soon and I'm not looking forward to that, because I have a sea sickness problem.. Not only do i get headaches and feel tired all the time , but I throw up like crazy.. Not looking forward to that, hopefully I ll be able to handle it. I will bring my Tylenol , my sea sickness pills and avoid the greasy stuff and see what happens.. I know I'm not looking forward to Gq's and all the other drills we have to do on the ship. BUT , I know in 23 months I done and I will have fond memories of the Navy. I'm still keeping a low profile , but working hard to maintain a steady emotional level. You can;t get too high or too low on the ship or the drama and the stress will overcome you. I 'm trying to be positive an pro active and expect the unexpected. I know talking to people with a steady emotional control seems to be working , but lets see how long that lasts? But for now , I'm that quiet , hard working guy , doing as I'm told and making sure Haz mat spaces are good to go. One thing for sure ship life is a tough life and its a high paced one , if you think it;s easy , than your mistaken and misguided. The life on a US NAVY ship is everything you can imagine and more. But like I said , I'm going to try another approach my final 23 months here and be that hard working guy , with a low profile go along , get along personality.. Maybe after all these years I've learned the game. But I can tell my fellow new check ins are not so pleased about whats going on. Well another day brings more work and more interactions with the crew. Until the next episode , stay calm.. and be cool and not a fool..

Montgomery Mayans -THE HANGOUT!?

 Montgomery Mayans - Hang out !?! told by someone from the past , an unknown source..
 ok, way back when when we were skinny teenagers growing up in South San Diego , which is east Of  Imperial Beach and South of Chula Vista , but North of San Ysidro, huh? Yes , a sort hidden melting pot of all the races, You had Filipino's , Mexicans , Guamanian's , Hawaiians, Italians , Germans, Blacks,, but we all got along? I think we did , sure we were stubborn about how to dress or act , and we were ever so judgemental on who we were dating . But thats what mades us proud Mayans right? Well after school , alot of us Alex, Derwin, Eric , Myron, Elizabeth, Anita , Grace , Sherry, Janie , Rose , gosh alot of us would walk to Alex's house which was on the busiest street in the neighborhood. I believe its called Picador or what ? I know the memory is horrible , I mean I haven't lived there in many years and I'm sure alot of you may not recall the name of the street , but you know what I'm talking about. Well anyways , we would go there and listen to LP's YES records.. Group's like Bootsy Collins . Parliament " Flashlight" Bar kays - Lets have some fun , Confunkshun , Cameo , Earth wind and Fire and overplayed Heatwave" Boogie Night's and Central heating.. God I loved that music back in the day but Alex played the group to the point of nausea,, oh well it was the hangout , we could listen dance , and do slap boxing,, that's where you slap the guy or girl before they slap you.. I must say I was pretty good and the girls were fun to be with.. To be honest , I think I had a crush on all of them why not? All the girls i mentioned were slim , fit , beautiful black hair and great complexions and great senses of humor. But I also think they were the greatest teasers and all of us guys fell for that. But back to the story , we would spend hours it seems listening to the same music , dancing the same moves and watchin who would walk by Alex's house. Often times I would see my girl Liz and of course I always made a scene ,. I know this embarrassed her and probably why she broke up with me. I wanted too much attention and she was a shy quiet girl,.. Or at least I thought so?? Never mind that.. Just a thought.. Now that we are older , those times laughing and dancin at Alex's house are going to be the best memories ever. I would love for all the people I mentioned and anyone else from that class to perhaps get together plays those old tunes again and tell stories about growing up a Mayan.. I know there is alot of us still out there and I would love for you to tell your stories or remind me so I can retell them.. I wasn't every where , even though it seems I was. One thing is for sure our clothing style and hair styles back in the day was second to none and everytime I see those old photos , I cant help but smile and remember back in the days as a proud Montgomery Mayans.. Keep the faith and keep in touch and stay tuned for more memories from the Past... A Mel Paras Productions@ 2011, with association with The Source @Productions 2011..

USS PELELIU - DAY TWO-JAN 18,2011 based on a story from someone ..

USS PELELIU -DAY TWO -JAN 18,2011
 OK, guys I had one day on board before going to IBS school - Integrated Barcoding System- basically the new way you do Logistics on board ships. Ok, We muster at 0600, but guess what LPO , didn't let me know about it? But I guess I should of called . my fault huh? Oh well The LCPO , greets me and he we go, after the biggest working party off load in years , 25 pallets this time. my arms are killing me , as well as my feet , ankles etc. But after that evolution , which included mail being lifted from the pier and walk on by us. I was ready to learn about my ALPO job in S-8 division. but Chief had other plans for me and the new check in Garza, we both stand in line for almost two hours and guess what , they didn't need me. was I upset , yes, but I'm trying something new this year and at this new command , i 'm going to grin a take it . I mean I have 23 months to go , who knows they might cap me , or try to break me. huh? ok.. after that deal I go back down to S8 and I get news of my new assignment.. Yes, I'm going to be ALPO -- LPO of S-9 DIV. Whats that? It is Haz mat division , it's where all the hazardous material is stored and passed out the crew. It's a dirty and corrosive job and a thankless one too. Everyone needs that stuff and I'm in charge! But get this I also get to lead or try to inspire 7 other personnel from other divisions on the ship to make sure they pay attention to detail. In other words I'm getting the guys or girls that divisions find expendable or hard to deal with. In other words I get the low life dip shits that the divisions can't handle or don't want to deal with. Wow, I get the misfits , well why not Ive been a misfit or hated person ever since I joined the Navy. So why not end my career that was actually one of the first jobs I had early in my navy days. Did I like it , hell no, I'm sure those people I'm getting are going to be fun to deal with.. Wow, what a difference a day makes , One day I'm ALPO for 22 Logistic specialists, and now I will assume LPO duties for 7 TAD folks and one other Logistic specialist. Lucky me, oh yea, I'm also in a duty section and it starts this weekend .. and later underway , can't give exact dates security reason.. I know this can help on my evals and perhaps a good shot at getting advanced , but Ive seen this before. But I'm taking the positive side and I'm going for it. If anything being on board and being so busy , leaves no time to gripe and complain. You have a job to do , you do it and then your off for the day.. Like I said we cam IN at 0600 and left at 1400. I like that we beat traffic coming in and leaving. If anything , I expected changes but not this fast , but then again My character or personality seems to bring out the best or worst in my upper command. Wish me luck , I plan on being low key , but it seems that never happens. But, I'm keeping a low profile , not being outspoken or even mentioning my literary skills or dancin prowess , at least not yet if ever. I'm gonna see if I can just be a regular guy for the next 23 months.. and see what happens to me professionally and personally.. A new year , a new beginning a new approach will bring different results in my life. You think ? Stay tuned until the next episode of the new source - quiet and normal??!!

THE AFC AND NFC CHAMPIONSHIPS -FINAL FOUR! JAN 23,2011

NFC Championship Game :
Packers at Bears- The Packers were dominating on defense and everyone is healthy, They are playing the best football of all the teams remaining in the playoffs. Are they the best? On paper yes, but remember , especially this year , It doesn't matter the Vegas odds , or the injury report or talent or even Coaching skills. The team that wants is and plays their hearts out without making mistakes win the game. I see Aaron Rodgers , if protected will pick a apart the Zone defense  the Bears like to use. But Do I expect the Bears to do that? No , I expect exotic blitzes and disguising of coverages and letting Julius Peppers run wild. But the problem is Aaron Rodgers can scramble and find time to throw the ball to open receivers and he's the White version of Michael Vick, He has scored many tds as a runner. But has concussion issues One big hit could throw him off his game. Expect the Bears to come after him. But I don't see it happening , I see the Packers winning easily.

Jets at Steelers- The Steelers have been so inconsistent this year , sure  they won their division and beat the ravens two out of three times. But I see issues with the steelers, the offensive line is hurting and Big Ben will be running for his life. The Steelers need to get the run game going or Big Ben is going to have tremendous pressure to take over this game , He is a winner and is a playmaker , difference maker. If this game is low scoring and close , expect Big Ben to have one of his late game winning drives to secure a victory. But I see the younger , more hungrier Jets making Ben look average, remember this Jet defense made two of the games best quarterbacks look indecisive and frustrated. Big Ben hold on to the ball to long and because of that I see quite a few sacks and perhaps turnovers that will change the direction of the game. The Steelers have a very good defense , but I don't think they have the corners to cover the spread out quick pass offense of the Jets. If they the Steelers try to crowd the line to stop the run. Expect Sanchez to throw to his sure handed quick receivers for long gains. I know Polamanu is back but I dont think he's 100 % and I expect the Jets to throw to their Tight end to test if Troy is ready to tackle and handle a full game of hard hitting. Just a thought or hunch  I feel from watching him play. My upset special of the playoffs The Jets win a close , low scoring game decided by the time of possession advantage they will have and the turnover advantage they will impose.

Final thoughts:
The Packers defense and Aaron Rodgers accurate and precision passing will be too much for the over achieving Bears.

The Jets with their aggressive and innovative team defense will confuse and cause one too many turnovers for the Steelers and Big Ben to overcome. It will be hard hitting and emotional , but the younger and stronger and healthier Jets will beat the Proud , but inconsistent and older team. Big Ben is a great player but he can't do it alone. The Jets will play better as a team and will win a closely contested game.

NFL DIVISIONAL PLAY OFFS JAN.15-16, 2011..Analylsis.

 NFL DIVISIONAL  PLAYOFFS ANALYSIS..
Ravens at Steelers. 
 This game was being controlled by Joe Flacco and the Ravens defense, but when the second half got going the Ravens simply folded , three straight series and the Steelers took control. Everyone knows , that this is a game of momentum and once you shift it , it's like a rock rolling down a hill , its hard to stop. I will give Big Ben and the Steelers defense coming through at home , but the Ravens falling apart mentally is what did them in.

Packers at Falcons.
 Ok , this game was a clear cut win for the Packers , they are just a better team and the Falcons just never got going. The Packers look like a Super bowl team and might very well represent the NFC at the Superbowl. Aaron Rodgers is having the best playoffs of any of the QB's in the playoffs and has the ability to take over a game.

Seahawks at Bears.
 This game was over quickly , despite the final score , so what if the Bears let the Seahawks score alot at the end, they already played a different defense , i mean they still have the NFC championship game to get ready for. The Seahawks were embarrassing to watch , and they need to do something about divisional winners having the home field advantage despite records. I know they won their division but their record sucked and the only reason they beat the Saints was the 12th man at Seattle..

Jets at Patriots.
 The defense of the Jets shut down Brady bunch and company , oh really ? I think Coach Rex Ryan and his ploy about making personal , worked , no one talked about the Patriots beat down of the Jets in the regular season, no talked about Cromarties mistakes , it was pure genius and now his aggressive , trash talking team is a game away from winning the Superbowl.. Who would of thought?

Final Thoughts:
 Next weeks winners are the teams that don't turnover the ball , that controls time of possession and has a solid running game. I really enjoyed watching Aaron Rodgers his level of play is outstanding and he is going to be fun to watch.

The Jets defense and how their running game and passing attack work so well together they are a team of destiny. I really hope LT , wins that Super Bowl , they he dearly wanted in San Diego , but he's on a better team with great teammates. You don't think so? He left the Bolts , whose playing in the AFC CHAMPIONSHIP.. ? Heck , the Chargers couldn't even make the Playoffs ,, playing in the AFC WORST DIVISION? LOSING to the Raiders twice in one year. LT era the bolts only lost twice in 8 years.. never twice in one year.. just a thought?

Mayans- The school of clicks or Groups..

Montgomery Mayans - the school of clicks or groups..inspired story from someone i once knew..
 Back in the day , remember , how we all had our groups.. Remember, you had the goody too shoes ASB- the ASSOCIATED STUDENT BODY- the politicians the well liked group , the ones that got to do what they wanted and the ones teachers and majority of students liked. Right? but then again they had the Jocks , remember the ones that was good at sports and liked to show off their skills. You need names ? Or everyone knows their own showoffs at school. Where do I stand, well I was kind of a drifter , a wanderer, I could hang with whatever group I wanted. Maybe it offended people I was able to do that. But I was a inpatient youth that got bored very easy. Perhaps , the many reasons I had trouble in school, not academically but socially , I didn't or wouldn't stand bullies or mean kids. I often defended those who couldn't defend themselves? Why? I was a dreamer , I guess I felt like people should enjoy their school experience. But then again I was a practical joker that made fun of all of people during my school days.. I was too blunt and forward at times. But I tried to be a quiet guy , just chilling , but my personality and mouth would get me in trouble. Right. was Jr high fun, of course it was because we were so young and developing our moods and thoughts. I really like how we all thought we knew it all. We were young , but we all acted like we knew what was up. am i right? The Surfers I hung out with , always thought , Summer time would never end.. Right Guy , ? Then my small group of friends , Joe , Jonas, George, Roger , we thought we could do anything , we thought our martial arts ability were too good for anyone. It's funny how we thought , we could beat anyone up ,and at times we put that to test. Those were different times. I mean if our kids did even any of the things we did they would be suspended , jailed or worse. Our generation was thrill seekers and trend makers, we liked to make statements with our clothing and how we presented ourselves. We are a very proud but thoughtful generation. We , I know now grew up way too fast , sure we enjoyed our youth , but High school could of been so much closer and more fun , if we just kept the Mayan spirit of being together and being young kids, but we all wanted to grow up and start our life. Those short years at Montgomery Jr will always be cherished , the fond memories of pep rallies , the cutest cheer leaders , Sherry , Diane , Cindy , Janie , please forgive me if I leave out names it was a while back huh? But those days walking down those long cement steps by Silver Wing Park will always be fond memories, especially waiting by the entrance for my Jr high sweetheart Elizabeth , " Liz" she was a cool girl , but I was too wild and young to be stuck to one girl.. I love to dance , and she was too reserved at that time to be a show off, But as i think back .. Those were the days.,. huh? We had our groups , The Student body , the Surfers , the fighters or gangsters , the jocks , the smart asses, the loners, its funny how we all used to talk shit about each group , but now , we all are interested in each others lives ,, thanks to face book, my space, twitter , you tube , etc. But one thing is for sure those days cruising around school with our cool looks and proud personalities made us very special Mayans. we weren;'t the best athletic teams around , but I do recall we had a pretty good band and cheer leading group that competed around the state. I also liked our school colors and that cool folder they would give us before school started. The dances , pep rallies , and times goofin after school or after football games will always be fun times , we can never recreate except in our memories and in our photos that we took. We had our groups , but in the end , we were all very Proud Mayans , that liked to have fun and share probably the sweetest and most enjoyable times of our lives. We were young kids that for a few years shared very close and caring times that I like to share with most of my class mates when I see them in person or on face book. Until my next sweet memory of years gone by take care.. THE SOURCE PRODUCTIONS @ 2011..

NFL DIVISIONAL PLAY OFFS JAN.15-16, 2011..

          NFL DIVISIONAL PLAY OFFS JAN 15-16,2011.
Saturday Jan 15, 2011 games..

Ravens at Steelers- This is the rubber match both teams winning one game a piece. This is going to be the hardest hitting and closest game of the weekend based on past meetings. These two team have nearly split the games played and the points scored by both teams are identical. The difference is home field and the two time Superbowl Winning Quarterback Big Ben, he may not have the eye popping stats lie a Peyton Manning or even Tom Brady , but when it's crunch time and his team needs a winning drive he comes through and I expect his team to keep the game in range for one of his game winning drives and another shot at the Super Bowl. Steelers win and play the Patriots in the AFC CHAMPIONSHIP GAME!

Packers at Falcons- What luck the Falcons draw on their first playoff game in years playing a very hot team like the Packers, Aaron Rodgers is having a great season and looks every bit a franchise winning quarterback. The Packers defense has matured and blossomed under Dom Capers and they are the most dangerous team in the playoffs. But I see a ball controlling , time consuming offense by the Falcons to control time of possession and limit Rodgers opportunities. Turnovers could decide this game if one team makes those mistakes in the Red zone. I see the Falcons winning a tight close game decided by a long , time consuming drive late in the game to secure a Falcon victory. Falcons win and play the Bears in the NFC CHAMPIONSHIP GAME !

Sunday Jan 16, 2011 games.

Seahawks at Bears - The Seahawks played the game of their lives last week and made history , but don't expect the ball controlling Bears to make as many defensive mistakes as the Saints did last week. I see the Bears , running the ball and controlling the clock and limiting Seahawks offense to short passes . because of their aggressive line play . Julius Peppers will be a force the Seahawks have to be worried about. The Seahawks also don't play well on the road. I see a low scoring game , with the Bears winning it with ball control offense and a aggressive defense. I also can't imagine Matt Hasselback and the Seahawks putting together back to back consistent football. They didn't do it in the regular season ans I don't expect it against the Bears.. The Cinderella season ends for the first year Coach Pete Carrol and the losing record NFC WEST CHAMPIONS.

Jets at Patriots- Once again a rubber match between two very good teams. I favor the Jets defense over the talented by young Patriot defense. But Tom Brady and his young team will be tested , its a different intensity level in the playoffs and those young players of the Patriots need to step up. The Jets were a game away from the Super Bowl and I feel they are a better team than last year. The Patriots are undefeated at home and The Jets are 6-2 on the road. The key who is able to dominate the line of scrimmage and play their game. The Jets lost one of their star linemen , that is enough of a break down , plus Cromartie inconsistent play at corner that will do the Jets in,If I had to depend on a game winning drive late in the game , I trust the Brady Bunch to come through, than the inexperienced , young Quarterback Mark Sanchez. I see the Patriots winning a defensive low scoring game decided by a turnover late in the game and Brady taking the opportunities into a game deciding score. Patriots win and will host the AFC CHAMPIONSHIP GAME!

Final thoughts: Big Ben comes through and plays well on the field , even though popular opinion says he's a bad guy of the field!

Former Charger running back Michael Turner gets a shot a the Super bowl , and another heart breaking loss for  future Hall of famer Ladianian Tomlinson.

Seahawks Cinderella season ends and Jay Cutler and Bears defense make a statement with dominating win.

The Jets Running game will do well , but the inconsistent , unfocus corner back play of cromartie will be exposed and Brady will take advantage enough to win a close game.

Wild card weekend Anaylsis! Jan 13,2011

Wild card weekend Analysis- Jan 13, 2011
   Well, the wild card weekend was indeed wild and unpredictable kind of like the whole season. But here's my breakdowns or spins on why the various teams won or lost their games.
 Ravens at Chiefs- Simple turnovers and inability to have a stable offensive game plan. You can't have 5 turnovers in the playoffs and win . It just wont happen unless the other team does the same. I feel the pressure of being in a playoff game , made the Chiefs nervous and unsure of themselves. Ravens took advantage but they weren't overwhelming. Chiefs made it too easy for the ravens to advance!

Jets at Colts- This was a low scoring defensive chess match , with Peyton Manning's delivering on a good late game drive to get into range for what appeared to be a game winning Field goal by Adam Vinateiri, but the Mark Sanchez led team managed to get into Field goal range , thanks to a inexplicable time out by Colts Head Coach Jim Caldwell, the facial expression and the body language by Manning on the sideline was " Priceless" He could not understand that call, and to be honest I don't either. Why call a timeout , when The Jets only had one left to use, let them call it, in other words you gave them more time to get down the field without using their timeout. Bad coaching decision cost the Colts the game. The Jets were good , but not overwhelming.

Seahawks at Saints- This was a high scoring and exciting game , but who thought the Saint defense would be so horrible. Drew Brees had a monster game , but with no consistent defensive play , this game ended up like a street ball game where the last team with the ball and scores before it gets too dark wins. Matt Hasselback had a career day in a playoff game , from the worst record team ever to make NFL Playoffs. Give credit to Hasselback , but the Saints defense failed their team and the home crowd, you should never let any visiting team run up a score like that at home. No doubt the Biggest upset and shock in NFL playoff history!

Packers at Eagles- Aaron Rodgers was amazing early , but average through out the game. The eagles let the game get out of hand early and had to play catch up throughout the whole game. But David Akers missing 2 chip shot field goals changed the outlook and game plan for the Eagles. make those points and the eagles would have been leading and protecting a lead late in the game , instead , playing catch up and trying to score a Touch down to win the game. Missed opportunities , you can't do that against good team in the playoffs. Michael Vick is amazing to watch , but he's skill players dropped to many passes throughout the game to help him. In my opinion it was more the eagles failing to take advantage of scoring opportunities than the Packers dominating this game.

I expect this weekends games to be close games with turnover ratio and ball control teams , with strong defensive performances will win. My predictions coming later in the week Enjoy!

Montgomery Jr High School Dance.. back in the day

Montgomery Jr. High School Dance..back in the day..
 Ok, back in the day angel flights slacks , the tight nylon shirts, the long black feathered back hair and yes I'm talking about guys. But when girls wore the same clothes or similar  it just made u wonder ? In fact , I know now we were gay. I don't mean in a homosexual way , but in a feminine looking way. Check out the yearbooks of that era, all the guys had that feathered back hair , in fact I d say alot of the guys look better than the girls , why ? we were slim , fit and had long beautiful hair.. ok enough of that..
 Back to the dance scene, well of course dance day s always the most exciting or stressful because the guys were wondering what chicks were going and we all wanted to show off , especially me, I love to pop lock , which is a rhythmic almost robotic but smooth way of dancin,, ok.. Ken and I are always showing off and coming up with moves to do at the dance..
  ok,, I get there , and I see all the girls on one side and all the boys manning the walls, the music is loud and i , ready to dance.. problem is.. all they guys are afraid and the girls are too. So what do I do , I ask one of the popular girls ,, Divina , she's cool because she's new and extremely pretty and shy. But Of course , I like to draw attention to myself.. so we dance. of course I show off , but what surprises me is that shes a awesome dancer, not a pop locker , but a still awesome dancer.. I love it and together make the Jr High dance live and kickin.. Everyone , well almost , jumps in and we have a great time.. Probably the best I ever had,. of course I do my routines with Ken , but the fact I met the new pretty girl in school and we dance the night away.. Then of course the rumors fly and the comments " Cutest couple!" etc ran around, but in a sense I think that's why we never really hooked up.. It was too " perfect>" TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE! so we remained friends during our time growing up , but we never or at least I did , never made it more than just friends and to be honest ,, it was a good thing. Because I ran through or dated so many girls from my school and local schools around , Southwest , Bonita, Sweet water that I really never found that one girl.. But for one special night under the cool south San Diego moon light we had a dance of a life time , and I really enjoyed our dances together and the " BUZZ " we created at the dance and school.. As you can tell I love the attention and always look for it.. Well until the next story,,Enjoy memories of Jr, High dances.. TheSOURCE P..RODUCTIONS@2011

POPPIN AT MONTGOMERY JR HIGH ..

POPPIN AT MONTGOMERY JR HIGH.. back in the day.. Mele Mel..
 Back in the day , when I was a skinny long haired kid who loved to showoff and entertain a crowd especially young attractive girls.. ok.. imagine a bright sunny day in South San Diego , it's between classes, u remember , the bell rings and everyone has 5 or ten minutes before the next class, well My buddies decide to bring out the BOOM BOX - with our dance tunes , More bounce to the ounce ,, remember? ok,, so Ken ( my cool black brother) and myself  set the tone, we are in the lunch area , and we blast our tunes, and we start the show , first Ken with his wiggling precise poppin movements and then I jump in with my splits and quick pop lockin moves and a wiggle which became my trademark, it's kind of a zig zag movement while moving my hands up and down my body.. ok, of course the fine looking chicks are watchin and the homeys.. But guess what ? yes everyone , meaning the whole school was late to their class.. Yes,, We get our boom box confiscated and we are lectured by the assistant principal ass hole,,, for disrupting class and causing a ruckus during school time. This is our how many times doing this and the school officials are upset , and of course suspend us, but nothing happens ,, to us. We just practise some more and do it again and again,.. Yes,, back in the day we used to be a head ache for school officials.. but a entertaining side light for my fellow students and girls we were trying to impress.. did it work. of course,, But is sure wasn't cool staying after school , called detention.. but guess what we did? yup ,, bring out our boom box and entertain my fellow detainees,, and of course the student teacher aide who loved our dancin.. Did we ever learn ?? no , but it sure was fun back in the day , holding up students and being the talk of the school. was it cool. maybe not , but it was one of the moments in my childhood I will never forget and hopefully you can imagine even for a moment how the hell it was , being in school with the pop locking fighters from Montgomery Jr. High School..  oh those were the days.. Until next time.. Enjoy ! The Source Productions@2011..

JAN 11, 2011 or 1-11-2011..A special day ?

JAN 11,2011 or 1-11-2011- A special day ? DEAR SOURCE.....
   Is this a special day ? I mean in a mathematical way it is. How about life wise? The news reports , crime, and violence and how twisted some people are? I mean the other day a Congress woman and her supporters were shot down by someone who simply disagrees with their points of view.. Too bad he didn't work at ASD ,, haha, bad joke or is it? Lets face it every where you go and every where you've been you've seen the ass kissers and brown nosers get advanced. It doesn't matter you know the job better than they do or you work harder. You forget the old boy system the buddy pal of mine system. Who you know and who you blow? Today's Navy is very much like that , if you don't think so , then you need to wake up and smell the roses. Today's leadership is so caught up in looking good and being perceived in a powerful and good light. If you embarrass them or diminish their power they are insulted and will never forgive you. Don't even try to change their minds your wasting your time. Trust me , I have tried all my career trying to convince ass holes that you don't need to treat people like shit to get jobs done. But guess what today's leaders don't want to be liked or respected , they want power , they want you to do what they want. respect to them is getting advanced no matter what the expense. If you don't like it tough , I'm higher rank than you , I have higher pay grades to attain. In their minds, they feel why should i treat a lower rank person with respect. I wasn't respected on my way you , I was treated shitty. So , in their small minded way they like to keep the cycle going. A endless cycle of coercion, threats , harsh statements and guidelines. Conventional wisdom or common sense I like to say is " Learn from that and leave it behind , break the cycle. I was treated harshly in my early navy life, and yes I was bitter , still am. but guess what I still treat my peers with respect , unless you are a dirt bag , loser and lazy ass. Then of course I don't like you, who would? I like to have a tasking , complete it and post for the day. Like it is on my new command. The current LPO / ALPO who I will be relieving soon , as soon as my schooling and On the job training is done. I will keep that idea going. Why? Anyone who has been to sea duty, all those early days in port , will be made up underway.. because where are you gonna go? You stuck  on a ship with the same food , bad people and bad smells. Yes, the smells you experience on a ship , are only produced on the ship. It's the smell of the ship , oil , gas, bad food , burnt oil , sewer , piss , shit you name it , you smell it. My wife always tells me shower before you interact with us. The Smell folks,.. it the smell of hell - The Ship life. I know I have only spent one day on board, but all the bad feeling of ship life came back,, and We haven't gone underway yet.. Well that's coming as soon as my school is done. Am I ready..? No , you never get used to it , you learn to tolerate ship life. But I find ways to cope , like writing working out and of course cracking jokes. You always need someone , and I plan to be that one..I know right now upper command likes me,.but who knows once I get settled in.. One week , two weeks a month , who knows , but I will definitely set my mark here. I mean , Ive been challenged by dirt bags and yelled at by Chiefs that are concerned about their work space.. Yes, lesson learned people are very protective of their work spaces, well they have the divos and other upper chain to impress. Like I said earlier it's all about impressions and feeling important. The ship life everyone is fighting for attention and recognition , no matter what the cost to you as a person. You are too sensitive and can't take rants , then stay off the ship or better yet get out of the navy. This new navy is heading towards a very political philosophy, and if you don't go along , you don't get along. I see they have ideas or intentions for me , so I'm prepared, I have to be , Ive always been chosen to clean up divisions that have weak LPO's.. But because I don't play the ass kissing game I get nothing but more work. But I'm not saying I'm, changing my ways , just adjusting to get what i want,, which is to stay out of trouble and finish my time on board and go on to another chapter in my life. In other words my great friends at ASD, just do the same. play the game. Do what needs to be done , because those in charge will make you suffer, like long working hours , PT after working hours , late Friday's.. Projects , and functions to make them look good. If you do want to challenge them , you need to do it right by having all your facts right and don't forget instructions. If you know how to fight , they cant get you.. But if you don't ,, you will suffer.. Final thoughts " You can't give something you don't have ?" EXPLAIN .. ok,. like repect , I like to earn my respect from my peers , others like to demand it , to get it , but that doesn't mean people respect you , its more fear than respect. Am I right? One more example , you can't love someone if you can't love yourself.. In other words , asking something from jerks off when they have no idea if what your asking is a exercise in futility,, Don;t do it.. Advice; Do your job , accept the reality of your situation and decide I will not let them over power me.. MIND OVER MATTER!" I DON'T MIND BECAUSE THEY DON'T MATTER!" Happiness is a state of mind and everyday I choose to be happy , those haters are not happy with their loser life that's why they can't stand when you laugh and smile and get along with one another! Its funny you can't teach cool , they think by trying to dress cool or saying certain cliques make them cool.. it's not , it;s just being a phony ass wanna be.. Be happy and be true to those that are true to you!! Until my next story or advice, take Care and Enjoy life!! THE SOURCE @2011 PRODUCTIONS

USS PELELIU - FIRST DAY ON BOARD JAN 10, 2011

USS PELELIU - FIRST DAY ON BOARD-
 First off , we are in post deployment stand down period, so hours are 0630-1200- YES , on a ship I have 20 people in S-8 /S-9 division - takes cares of material parts and mail. We did both today , 5 pallets of parts some heavy DLR's , and 3 trips Of 20 MAN WORKING PARTY , taking mail form QD to Mail room. It took most of the morning to get this done,.Plus I got most of my check in done.. Why? They have big plans for me. We have alot of check outs and first classes leaving the division. My sponsor LS2 Blevins has been very helpful and letting know about who the workers are and who I have to get on.. hmm. why on my first day, well actually when I reported yesterday on Sunday , he said your gonna be the LPO , / ALPO - the title will go to a first class that doesn't know anything , huh,, my luck,., I always get this shot every sea command. Ok, well today , the funniest moment i guess is when this dirt bag , unshaven white dude, not being racist , but he was terrible and I let him have it along with MA1 - and my sponsor , I mean he cut the line , in whichwas standing in for over a hour. I didn't care he's getting out, I'm checking in and I'm gonna do something special here at this command. At least I feel really good about this place. But let me warn you  they are haters on the boat. One chief yelled at me and my sponsor about not walking on a mat that was covering a passageway.. ok.. here we go.. i let it go.. But when another chief got upset because i stormed up in the admin line , because I saw this dirt bag getting service before me.. yes, aggressive, but for those you have been to sea , it;s the only way to make it. Being nice , goody to shoes,. ain't gonna fly.. Oh well , once I forced my way into the office, the same Chief got upset because I sat a desk reserved for disbursing clerks,. handling cash cards and pay stuff. But once again, I defended myself, because he's damn first class told me to sit there,,. man ,what a set up.?. And jeez,, i filled out so much paper work , initial here, date here,,. sign here , not here, Admin paper work is a pain in the ass. I'm glad i didn't take that rate when i first joined , or I will probably be out of the navy.. Too many crossing the T's and dotting the I's , the poor PS got upset with me , because I kept making mistakes ,, Oh well. I didn't care,, right? well my sponsor was getting restless, Finally done , I left and went to see the Master Chief of Supply,. I took a deep breath and said my story, about how close Ive been to making first and how I know my stuff and have been given the chances to be LPO , but because of anger issues and alcoholic issues , had my duties removed form me twice in my career, They say stuff like that doesn't affect you , but for some reason I know it does. Well , he seemed to be interested and encouraged about how I carry myself and strongly suggested I get the IBS school at ATG 32nd st,, i said " yes,. I mean first day there and the next day go to school for the rest of the week. Yeah, this is a better command. ASD, i had to beg for a school. before they complied. But i must say running around the ship is a chore , up and down ladder backs , I have bumps and bruises because I misjudge the height of things , I know I will adjust but my feet hurt and ankles and arms. I mean the working parties today was harder than any or all the working parties I ever did at ASD. I mean , I being a show off decided to take the hardest position on the line , right on the brow on unlevel steps, in fact I ;m almost fell on my face trying to balance myself and carry a heavy item.. Action Jackson , a black bro, who likes to sing , immediately came to my rescue , than of course , ragged me out saying your first day and  you gonna kill yourself.. haha. Cool , I deserve that , but I need to learn up and catch up on the sea duty stuff and when my sponsor departs In march , and I assume his Assistant Leading Petty Officer positions,.look out . the source will speak his mind, but for a first day,. not bad beginnings.. But one thing that hasn't changed lunch food sucked.. Breakfast is the best meal and will always be on the ship , except on those rare days of steak and lobster tails.. yea, once ion awhile.. I also hate the shitty smell u get when you walk around the ship or pier.. Oh yeah, met up with LS1 Cortez,, he;s in S1 division , but wants to go to guess what ? Yes, My division. .. Oh well I see the ships schedule , a few under ways before going into a 6 month yard period , and West Pac next year, and before you know it I'm done with the Navy.. But for now , it's looks good , but I not looking forward to being underway - getting sea sick and  being stuck on a ship with people i don't like. I mean , I have pissed off a couple of people.. already.. But i don't care, because it's my last sea duty and final run. I plan to make this a trip and plan to share with all of my source fans,.. so get set for a journey.. and looking forward to tripping out those Marines, when they arrive,, They are gonna love me.. huh? Take Care and Enjoy life! The Source @2011 Productions..

NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP GAME JAN 10,2011

NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP GAME #1 AUBURN VS. #2 OREGON
 It's game time and conventional wisdom is Pick the No# 1 team with Superstar QB Cam Newton who is big fast , strong , sort of a bigger , faster version of Michale Vick. But Guess what? , Based on how weird the College and Pro game has been I'm picking a upset. Oregon Ducks with their crazy ass uniforms and offensive formations will not only beat Auburn , but light up this scoreboard. Oregon will be too fast and too clever for the Very good offensive team , but suspect defense, reminder they Auburn has been behind as much as 21 points on several occasions. Ok, The problem is , you get that far behind against Oregon, before you know it 40 Pt's... I just like the way Oregon approaches the game and they have alot of fast running backs and receivers, as good or great as QB Cam Newton , of Auburn he's only one man. I see Oregon's defense making one or two stops , to go on to win a high scoring affair , but Oregon winning by a touchdown or two. If anything it should be a fun game and I expect alot of offense and big plays.. Tonight , sit back and relax and watch two of the best offenses put on a show , but also watch Oregon , make those one or two stops in the game , that will decide the outcome.. Now Auburn , you guys get behind 21 Pt's ,.early. forget it.. no comeback on this team.. Enjoy and lets see if the SOURCE calls it right ..

NFL PLAYOFFS ARE HERE! JAN 8, 2011..

WILD CARD WEEKEND! JAN 8, 2011..
 Well the playoffs are here and I know I haven't posted any sports related stories in months, I mean THE SOURCE is a originally a Sports related column.. Ok, it's time.
  My wild card picks and why ?
  First game, Ravens vs. Chiefs, I see the Ravens with their Playoff experience and a seasoned pro in Joe Flacco , and a outstanding run game and a game changing defense, I see the Ravens controlling this low scoring game and sending the excited Chiefs home. I like the Chiefs Running game , but a inexperienced QB play in Cassel will ultimately do the young and upcoming Chiefs..
  Second Game - Jets vs. Colts- at Lucas Oil field. I see this being a very tight close game and I see the Jets winning because they have the better defense and run game. Peyton Manning is the better QB, but his team is young and limited, because they don't run very well, this makes the Colts predictable. Manning will get his scores , but the hits and sacks will take their toll on him and he will throw a late pick that will decide the game. I like LT and Schonn Greene having big days and don't be surprised LT getting involved in the Pass game.. On a personal level I'm rooting for my favorite player LT, he is and will always be the Chargers reason for Playoff appearances. Go Jets!

Sunday games :
  Saints vs. Seahawks - I see the saints winning this game because Drew Brees and company are a very good team and I feel better than last years Superbowl winning team. But traveling on the road will make it hard, especially with no running game. It's all on Brees, and I expect him to come through.

Packers vs, Eagles- These are two very talented teams , and two of the best QB's in the league with Aaron Rodgers and Michael Vick, but I really like how Philly is playing and Vick is unstoppable, I expect a high scoring game and perhaps the best game of the playoff weekend. But I see Vick and his talented crew to win in a high scoring show.

Final thoughts: I only picked one home team to win in my picks, the Eagles, I know home field advantage , but in those bold picks I made , I just feel the talent , and experience will prevail over whether or not the crowd is loud. I'm excited and Lets see how I do? Enjoy the playoffs!

Made a cook cry?-manning the rails-

Made a cook cry ? -manning the rails- inspired story from some one I once knew...
 Ok, Once again I'm back on a ship, for those that have never been on a United States Navy ship , it basically sucks, it;s cold , and it can hot at times. You see the same old people , some you really can't stand. Imagine that , being with people , you can't stand and seeing them every freaking day. Because its a small boy= small ship , you see people at the galley, the ships store , passageways , no place to hide. So you know theirs always one or two guys that make ship life bearable.. You know the ones that crack jokes , the crazy guy who breaks tension with jokes and silly stories and comments/ Well guess what.?. yeah me! , that crazy guy who likes to break the tension regardless of the consequences or what..? ok enough of that.. right?
  This is my first west pac 1993.. and probably the Best cruise or at least one of the best ones I ever had in my career. But this one is special because it's my first west pac . Now we are returning after a long 6 month cruise to the gulf and other Asian countries.. Malaysia, Hong Kong . Australia , Hawaii to name a few stops on this pac.. Everyone is excited , and ready to see family members and the tradition is we all man the rails before pulling into port. Simple enough , so the announcement comes and of course Supply Dept musters us together.. Cool , right ? Well me, the shit talker and joker is set to make announcements or comments to my SK buddies , everyone wants to be near me,, right ..?
  yeah ok, as we pull into Puget Sound harbor , Washington state.. We are in our dress whites , like i said i ramblin about things , people laughing , then i see the Pier and on the Pier I see this big white balloon or I though it was. But it was a big ass fat lady , of course I'm ready to say something , like look " a blimp!" it;s grounded!:" This young girl is so fat she doesn't just sit down , she sits around.. making a gesture of a large person .. I'm on a roll, shes so fat when she goes to all you can eat place , she gets charged a group rate..haha group rate.. Shes so fat he cant tell shes wearing two different pairs of shoes.. haha.. Everyone is laughing except this young skinny white dude next to me,you know the type scared of their own shadow.. types,. ok I look towards him, everyone is laughing their asses off. The dude says " hey man , that's my wife!, and tears roll down his face because of the endless laughter ringing out.. What does this young jokester do ??
show mercy.. No .. Instead I say " dude i heard of a Mercy fuck , but a mercy marriage , cmon man..hahaha I hear about people liking or loving pork or pigs , but not enough to marry one.. haha.. I heard opposites attracts.. But this is not right.. Be careful in bed.. I heard of rolling over in bed, but in your case rolling over I'm dead.//haha.ok thats really mean. but sometimes the truth hurts and that's how I made a cook cry on the day we returned from wet pac 93. Lessons learned , if you have a fat wife or girlfriend , you better damn well not stand next to me.. Because you might not like what I have to say. ok until the next story..

THE MEXICAN RIDE- ILLEGAL ALIENS-

The  Mexican ride -illegal aliens - inspired story from someone i once knew..
 OK, once again I'm with my home boys (vatos) Barkada's We are in my homeys brand new Toyota truck. We are toasted < I mean I think everyone is higher than a kite. So we decide to go to San Ysidro or was it Otay Mesa crossing .. oh whatever we decide to drink and tell stories. Then suddenly we see a group of illegal aliens . they keep crossing our path in the tick of the night.. They keep crossing our path , not bothering us .. Then the leader ,me of course say " Lets get a few of them and drive around for a hour or so an then drop them off somewhere. The owner of the truck Johnny who is really fucked up.. drunk , says " yeah lets fucken do it !" I stagger up and go up to one of these guys hiding in the bush and say " Que pasa, donde esta ? ask the, they look and shrug LA -and I say in broken ass spanish I will take u there.." yo tengo dinero? they reply " si" I say " to do al of it > they reluctantly agree . So they get in the back of the flat bed truck , we cover them up in blankets and we drive around otay mesa , laughing our asses off
  So the story goes we finally stop i guess a few miles or more from where they were and point back to the border ,, and say LA - diretso straight ahead,, . They smile and say muchas gracias as they scamper over the hills. We wait until they are out of sight before we roll down laughing..
 Is the night over? so we end up trippin till the morning , none of us could drive , so around 5 or 6 am I get the power to drive the freakin truck to my homeys house a few miles away. Guess what, as soon as I park the truck , Blinkers go on in front iof my friends house. I say " oh shit !" I', 17 0o 18 yrs old I 'm screwed .well he pulls beside us . Mo it/'s not a cop[ but a pinche " La migra!"
 Hell yells " donde esta illaves?" I said " que no?" he repeats his order , I say " aqui , aqui, holding them up in my hands. Donde esta indentificacion?" I say "aqui!" Que pasa  officale.? " First off I'm thinking why the fuck am I speaking spanish, I figure i better break this !! because these fools think we are smugglers or what? Hey officer , I'm American citizen. He's gets pissed off ~!La migra officer says" How come you  answered me in spanish?' Well , I grew up here plus i was schooled in spanish .. ESL classes - English as a second language.. He said to me " You are Filipino who speaks fluent Spanish ..I said " si!" ok " he said " what are u guys doing ? I said we are coming back from a camping trip and this is my friends house. we are just going to chill here before we all head home..Is this your truck he asked ? I said no, it's my friend johnny , he;s i the back seat passed out. He went on to say " you guys been drinking ?' I said they have , I'm the driver. Ok , he hands back my drivers license and looks at me sternly and said. " Be careful they are alot of reports of stolen trucks around here. I said " muchas gracias!" He looks at me and say " yeah, next time INS pulls you over i suggest you speak English . I said :" No problema !" He again looks at me .. the expression was " what a smart ass punk!" Thank god he didn't turn us in. He could of easily called the cops. Why we had beer all in the truck open containers and all. But luck was on my side , like so many times already in my life. But it sure was a night a night I will never forget or ever try again .. well at least the illegal alien prank , anyways.. until the next episode of the source . Take care..

THE FLAME-SAN DIEGO

 THE FLAME - SAN DIEGO..based on a story from someone i once knew..
 "THE FLAME" in San Diego hmm. whats that? . Well back in the day , oh maybe not too far back. I used to hit the clubs, and do my thanng. As you can tell I love to dance and show off. But I had seen every club in San Diego, LA, and TJ, so I was looking for something different. But Before I explain this club experience I need to back track a bit.
   Once upon a time I had this fine looking ruca ( women in slang spanish) girl , she was Guamanian(chomorro) . She was the prettiest finest girl I ever had ..But she was ,,well lets just say if you I'm crazy that she could match me or out drink me . she was my match.. I mean If i did something , she would and could out do me anytime anywhere.. At clubs , bars , parties , she could dance , drink as well or better than me on many occasion's. But she liked the Cheap Bacardi crap , I hated that stuff ..but whoever got her hooked on that was a loser.. haha..Well u all know that cheap ass run ,, right?
  Ok, this beautiful girl had beautiful black hair , and a sexy tan that was perfect. She had long soft legs and a beautiful face .. But she lacked a rack, her only weakness,. BUt I really feel for this girl.. 6 years together and I mean we did alot together and just those adventures would be a great book in itself.
 I recall one time i dared her to dance in Seaport Village in front of tourist , and she did , and i mean it wasn't a cha , or salsa dance , it was like strippers pole dancing . Guess what? I jumped in too. I was drunk of course like her. How the hell we got home that day or night is still a mystery? enough already right?
 Well , like i said I loved this girl, I wanted to marry her and all the works. Big wedding , but every time I thought it might happen , she pulled back. She kept telling me " I have secrets or demons that I don't think you would understand. It got to a point " I broke off the relationship " for a year or two , It was a long break , and well I went on a ho chasing spree. Anything that looked good I got , or at least i tried.. It was a lonely time..
 So, I decided to give my ex - a second or third try , can't really recall , u guys know, ok. so we hook up again and things are going well , and then I get too serious and the same freaking issue comes up. I finally say" =What are these freaking secrets or demons you speak of?" she said " You have to see it ti understand?" I said " ok, she went off that day and said " pick me up tonight.. " Isaid " ok.."
 That day I was with my " Barkada's filipino friends / gang bangers , I said to them " What do you guys think?" Most of them said " She's pretty , but she's a nut case.. Let it go !!" I said " Come with me tonight?" My homeys all turned me down.. So I left but before I went to pick up my girl I decided to go shopping for a new outfit..What? Doesn's that sound like a woman? Believe it or not I was a pretty good looking guy , slim , long hair , I looked like a flyin hawaiian surfer..
 Off to Plaza bonita when it was nice ? when was that? haha. I bought a freaking purple -lavender color suit. is that gay or what ? oh well I actually left the store with that suit on, walking around in the mall.. So here's this long hair good looking filipino guy  wearing a freaking outrageous purple suit. Am I flamboyant or what ? Of course I think I look fly , so I crusie by the hangout to show off my new outfit to the fellas.. My own homeys laugh at me and call me " BAKLA" thats gay in tagalog,, ok, after i CURSE THEM OUT .. PUTAGINA MO!!i WENT TO GET MY GIRL..
 Guess what? she has a freaking purple mini skirt dress on , now is that wierd or gay? maybe both.. ok , so we get to the club. I saw alot of pretty ladies dressed to kill and the guys were fly too. But I also noticed the groups were separated, I mean girls with girls , guys with guys and then us.. But i said hmm. interesting , So she introduces me to some of the prettiest girls i have ever seen . So we go in. It was cool beats , nice atmosphere .. She introduces me to another pretty girl , but i recognize her from my old high school Montgomery High School " this filipina " looked so good I had to embrace her and share some old time high school memories.. Janet asked me " What do you think of the club ? I looked around and it finally hit me. girls dancing with girls , guys doing the same. kissing , hugging , actually I was shocked ans started to make faces and get very protected. my girl said " This is my secret .. I said " What , your a lesbian?" She said , not fully , more like a bisexual.. " I was devastated , and to be honest all my hopes and dreams o having a future with her seem to slip away like a balloon flying away from you when you were a kid,, I was " sad!" < in fact i wanted to cry , in fact I think I did. My whole life was crashing down on me.. But guys , what seemed like a long depression or sadness , instead became just quick moments or minutes I guess. She said Janet, is my lover .. My high school classmate at Montgomery whose parents are close to mine , is now my competitor for my girls love.. But I stood fast , " I don't believe it you guys are full of it!" I think you guys are joking.. Janet said to my girl " Lets show him!" So right there my high school class mate making out with my love of my life .. Oh what a night ??..
  The music started playing music I liked , so I decided to dance on the floor. I didn't care who was out there , i just needed to dance the night away.. So before u knew it i was dancing with other guys. and after the dances were done. I was standing around with my girt, when this good looking tall white guy and said " Somebody is going to get lucky tonight , while holding wads of cash >" He kept parading around me.. I didn't get it or i was in denial.. Until the girls said " That Guy wants you. at first I was upset then a bit flattered, But I said, I'm a straight guy.. He said " I don't want to marry you honey , just a one night affair. !" Oh my goodness , I walked away with my girl , and I said " I think i better go,, she said " No , it's ok... Guess what I stayed and continued dancing and that freaking guy kept taunting me the whole night .. saying : Somebody gonna get lucky tonight!!" The Flame - in San Diego , it;s an alternative life style club and I was there, and on this night a truly a night that changed my life forever .. Do you believe it ?

TJ-BAJA ,CA " ARE YOU GAY?"

TJ-BAJA ,CA. ' ARE U GAY ?inspired tale from someone i once knew..
 Back in the day, I was a heavy drinker , I started at a very young age, it didn't help father and elder brother were essentially drunk ass fools. Like a fool I followed their foot steps. Why? TJ, back in the day it was the place to be, for under age drinkers and easier to cross, In fact , it was like a second home. Que NO?
 Ok, I decided to go with my gangster brother Al, just us, I thought that was weird we usually ran around with other guys , But this night he wanted to check out the local strip joints on our own..
 So we drove intoTJ , with our junker , throwaway car , meaning a piece of shit car. we didn't care it got stolen , vandalized or what. It just got us to point A to Point B, so we park , pay some dude pesos, and extra to protect our car> Ok.. w paid him and we hailed a cab , " Que onda" Donde esta the strip ? ok. ese , vamanos , so off we go,.,.
  We hit the strip , avenue revloucion,  or something like that. Its a trip , it;s like a cheap ass movie , so we pass bars and guys coming out " Buenos Noches Amigo, u guys wants to see rucas dancing.. ?" My baby brother was game but I said lets keep walking.. Club after club.. we walk this street , Finally,.. I find a strip club that I like or I thought I would.. We go in , we get our cold corona's , So we get set for the show.. They dim the lights and the strippers come out.. They start doing their thing , but i wasn't into it. they looked like hookers, they were dirty ,. sluty , and old.. remember I was 16 0r 17 yrs old so , I thought naything over 25 WAS OLD..
