Helping the Homeless
I just ignore them. I was brought up to help fellow humans but since moving out here,I'm more careful with the money I give away. I'll give you two examples:When I first moved out here,I was working at the Oggi's at North County Fair. I always saw this"homeless"guy on the median strips at the corner of Pomerado Road & Rancho Bernardo Road. Some people told me he was actually a rich guy from La Jolla. I was waiting on a settlement check to come and had worked about 16 days in a row at Oggi's. I cashed my check and on my way home through RB,this guy got on the bus. I glanced over and he had a wad of cash. More than I had. I was pi$$ed! He had 20's,50's & 100's. After the fires when I moved to CMR,I got bored and got a job at the Shell near where I live. I had seen this woman and her BF in RB before. Here she is standing next to the exit of the car wash for weeks. Before I started at Shell,I had won $100 on a BINGO scratcher at Ralph's. It was right after the fires and I felt grateful for what I had so I gave her $20. Shortly after that I started working at Shell. Her BF came in and bought beer and lottery tickets. I thought to myself"F--k it. I'll never help one of these people again" and I haven't. My friend and I were in downtown Sandy Eggo walking along Broadway. A homeless guy hit us up for spare change. All my $ was on my debit card so I politely said no. My friend said"No thanks. I've got plenty enough in my pocket" which was both cruel and funny.— August 8, 2009 2:42 p.m.

Helping the Homeless
You sure can russl. I've been called worse. :-D Mexican food is a food that's pretty hard to f--k up. With that said,my favorite is a place called Jalepeno's(inbetween the Rite-Aid and the DQ) at the corner of Stoney Peak Drive and Carmel Mountain Road here in CMR. My roommate is Mexican and takes me to a place down the road in the Home Depot parking lot near the Pat & Oscar's here in CMR. Yessina's is the name of it. Pretty good mexican there too. Now that I think about it,On The Border is more Tex-Mex than Mexican so it's always kind of disappointing when I go there. I guess it's a mind thing more than a bad food thing. Even a chain like Rubio's is pretty good.— August 7, 2009 8:38 p.m.
Military/Flag News Stories (and yes, Michael Jackson)
F--- Michael Jackson. I was pi$$ed when my father(Master Sargeant U.S.A.R. Ret.)lowered it for Ronald Reagan but wouldn't lower it for my grandmother's passing for my mother. We lowered it anyway for her. I told my father flat out that if a prick like Reagan could warrant it's lowering,my grandmother's passing could too. Military or not. He started to raise it back up and I looked him straight in the eye and said that if he continued,I'd kick his ass from here to Iwo Jima and back. The flag was re-lowered for her. I have an American flag that I fly from time to time when my Confederate flag isn't up. I fly it upside down in protest. My neighbors hate me for it but....f--- 'em.— August 7, 2009 8:24 p.m.

Driving Drunk Is Not Easy
LMAO!!! My GF and I discussed this further we've come to the conclusion that she's right and I'm right seeing as evolution has many Missing Links. And now for something completely different....— August 6, 2009 10:25 a.m.
Movie Pet Peeves
rickeysays:Those are actual live action movies due out either in '09 or '10. A live action Chutes & Ladders? WHOOOOOPEE! At least I'm pretty sure it was Chutes & Ladders. I know Where's Waldo?,Monopoly & Battleship are right. I'm almost positive I saw that on one of sxephil's vids on YT a few weeks ago. I'll check in the morning.— August 6, 2009 1:35 a.m.
