Spring/Summer has arrived on the West Coast

One can tell Spring/Summer has definitely arrived in Los Angeles...the Homeless are now wearing Tank Tops, shortie Shorts and their seasonal dirty Thong!

all TASERS considered

There was an incident at Bank One Ball-Park last week (home of MLB's Philadelphia Phillies)where a over enthusiastic fan ran onto the field, towards the end of the game, and before he was subdued(that's describing it lightly) by stadium security he got a chance to run around the outfield for 15 seconds and gain the recognition of the players, fans and TV cameras.

Now how this fan was contained and captured has become a hot topic all over this country and I'm here to lay down the law, so to speak (pun intended)

The fan was Tasered by a Phillies stadium security guard and was whisked away and booked for jail. Now in the aftermath of all this there has been a percentage of patrons who believe this was excessive and not plausible for apprehension (to the credit of most Americans in this country they stood behind the action and thought it was justified)and that's where I have issue. How can any one think this Tasering was to forceful, considering all the dangerous acts through the years that has be-failed unsuspecting athletes/coaches who were doing their sports job when either they were stabbed in the back or punched in the face...etc, etc.

They need to make security Tasering mandatory at all professional sporting events in this country (in Europe Tasering is considered a light retaliation compared to Dog bites and Club-Stick bashing that goes on more frequently by stadium police)that's the only way you can curb the ignorant and rampant act of 'fan-field dash & run' that goes on year around at most MLB-NFL-USTA sporting contest

Matter of fact they should take it one step further and go in the stands and taser the hell out of drunk azz fans that start fights and disrupt the viewing of a hard paying fan who has his wife and kids with him and wants to enjoy the game in peace. Taser these guys relentlessly and maybe after a year of seeing hard-headed fans get caught-electrocuted and jailed other dumb-ass wanna-be's will change their opinion about causing trouble.

That's how I would run the law, can't u see the crime rate dropping significantly in this nation if JokerPace was Chief Supervisor of National Security? Say it with me, HELL YEAH! I'm officially allowing Tasering of drunk guys at bars, rude people at the bank, old people who take to long to pay for their groceries, the drunk girls who throw up outside of clubs, people who smoke cigarettes and throw the bud on the street, hot chick at restaurant who looks so good your making it hard for the married guy to concentrate on his wife......

Now all I have to do is find a way to stop all these crazy ass criminals from initiating high-speed car chases with police officers and endangering lives of innocent bystanders. How about a shoot first ask the guy to pull-over second mandate? I like that...what do u think?

the Obama Effect trickles up and down

I can only call it like it see it, the 44th President of the United States, Barack Obama, has made an impact on racial relations in this country. Now he's not the only one and I'm well aware there was mutual understanding of cultures between people of different ethnic backgrounds well before Obama decided to run for office. But this new wave of mixed-racial friendship is outstanding.

Here's a good example of it:

The other morning (5:30am) I was stopped at a light on a busy downtown L.A. street. My SUV along with a car next to me were the only cars on the street. I looked over and I saw a Asian guy driving and seated next to him was a Mexican gentleman. And it was a pretty long light so I had a chance to observe these guys and what I witnessed briefly was a happy exchange between 2 people that might not have happened a few years ago (especially out here in a still somewhat segregated Los Angeles)....now granted the Asian guys was giving the Mexican a 'hand job', stroking and jacking the guy's penis off but that's a minor technicality in the grander scheme of a proud moment of Racial Tolerance

Can't we all get along? Of course we can as long as sex is involved!!!

Super Bowl Party Etiquette Tips

Hey! If you're going to a Super Bowl party this Sunday and you know nothing to very little about the professional sport of football, do us all a favor and be very very quiet and go hang in the kitchen with the ladies, the annoying dog and the owner of the house your partying at who's simultaneously trying to figure out who clogged up the basement toilet while also door buzzing some body in through the front bldg gate

Basically what I'm saying is "SHUT THE **CK UP"! Shut up and don't say a word until halftime and even at that point, you want to keep your non-football talk simple and easy. "Hey, how u feeling? Is your team winning" [response] "Yes...bye" That the should be the extent of a conversation that involves a hardcore NFL fan and a somewhat casual party-goer that just happens to be at the party cause he felt compelled to be doing something everybody else is doing

No real NFL/Super Bowl fan wants to be zoned in on the 1st qtr of the game while answering questions from a sports novice about which player is who ("is that Clayton Manning wearing #12"?) and how many points does one touchdown constitute when Peyton Manning is n position to drive his Colts into the red zone and possibly score the first touchdown of the game

The real tip here is if you are a hardcore NFL fan and you truly want to focus on the game stay home, invite 2 or 3 (no more than that) of your truest football friends over--light up the ole Wide-Flat Screen TV and watch the Super Bowl in NFL Bliss. This way you can focus, drink and yell at the screen without some 'American Idol lovin' Dooch-bag looking at you all crazy and telling you to "pipe it down a bit, its just a game, its no big deal". That type of guy will be littered all over super bowl parties this Sunday from California to Maine and sometimes they will travel in packs to S.B. parties; these type of people should be eliminated from all sporting activities/viewings, period!

This is more than just a game, this is the final and biggest game of the season for the NFL and we Americans are celebrating like we're entitled to each and every year and that's wit National Holiday reverence. After the Super Bowl all NFL fans will go into a hibernation detox withdrawal that's not a pretty sight to see; believe me, I'm n the early stages of it right now--I'm sweating like a pig 24 hours a day, sleeping only 3 hours at night and I"m losing weight rapidly...somebody please mail me a 6 pack of PBR, couple boxes of Bratwurst and a number 1 fan foam finger so I can start my recovery

I'm already looking forward to the April 24th Draft

Maxwell...the new King of R&B

If the rhythm and blues/soul genre of music was looking for a successor for Marvin Gaye and the likes of Teddy Pendegrass I think he's been resurrected and he's staking his claim, again, as the 'man'

During the entire 2nd half of 2009 singer-songwriter MAXWELL toured the country and re-established what had been missing in the music-performance game...'Grown Man Sensual-ness' Ladies from the very young to very old was captured by his essence

I had a chance to see the brother perform at the Hollywood Bowl this past summer (my date for the night was the Doctor-Ms. Darnise Martin...a superfan of Maxwell for the last 10 years) and all I could do at the end of the night was stand up and give a roaring round of applause, he tore it down, he had every lady in the joint on the edge of their seat, he was playing 'em like a puppeteer. It was a fantastic show and I couldn't have been more impressed

Every women in the arena was 'moist' and a few even threw their panties up on stage, I even saw a guy throw his boxers on stage, not mine of course, that's how much control he had

Maxwell, welcome back, and thanks for changing the game a bit upon your re-entry (he took a 7 year hiatus from recording) I'm sure the ladies, and possibly a few of the fellas, are actively waiting for that next album

Here's Hoping Haiti's relief isn't Katrina-ized

While all the support and concern has gone toward the Relief for Haiti, and rightfully so, I can't help but wonder about the Relief we Americans gathered for the victims of the Gulf Coast 5 years ago after Hurricane Katrina ripped through New Orleans and parts of Mississippi. We all collectively gathered close to 800 million dollars (telethons, red cross, internet donating sources, etc.) to go towards the rebuilding of the southeast region of United States of America and unfortunately Louisiana and Mississippi was lucky if they received a quarter of that money, I recently traveled to New Orleans (summer of '09) and there is still a lot of work that needs to be done; there are portions of the region that look like earthquake ravaged Haiti (a virtual war zone of poverty and chaos); the money came in quickly during that first year but it slowed greatly after that

Here's hoping Haiti doesn't fall victim to a financial disaster after Mother Nature treated them so cruel. They need and should receive every penny the citizens around the world is contributing and then some for the foreseeable future

So the next time someone ask you to donate to the Haiti relief fund ask yourself who's responsible for helping and aiding the victims in the Gulf who've yet to recover from their own natural disaster...and where the hell is the remainder of the 800 million dollars?! It all should have went to the Gulf Coast
