I sometimes go to this speech center during Noon on Wednesday's called Toastmasters. At social settings, most people that I interact with will go to the work ethic card for whatever reasons to defend or dismiss people. This is true in groups that you try to fit into. They try to use their upbringing or discipline to push you out. The one thing I know is that most people aren't like Brad Pitt in "Fight Club." Put a mob on them, they will back off. They don't trust their discipline or hard-work against mob authority. Most will say that they have family or someone to protect when they only care about themselves.
This is from the man who says, "To be a champion, you must work harder than work itself." Hearing this kind of commentary, scare me to death even now as well as then. Ivan Lendl was a hell of player and a intellectual, warrior on the tennis court. His opponents were not only concerned about his game, his shot-making skills, patience, and power, they were concerned about his work ethic. When he entered tennis 1978, he started to make comments like the one above as well as this at this paraphrase, "if I don't practice well then I won't play well."
Work-ethic trash talkers will simply dismiss as something as "Life" or "things they can't control" card. Most of them though, will always look at people who they perceive don't work hard and have a lot to say but about 9'11, they shut up. Lot of them, will use I do the best as I can crap. These folks are selfish but scared who know their place like Lendl. However, Ivan Lendl is willing to "work harder than work itself" to move up.
Likewise with Lendl, you could not put American Idol's to keep him in line like with other bullies. Ivan didn't get along with Czech Authorities or the people of Czechoslovakia. They wanted him to lose because he had become a capitalist and sold himself out to America. Therefore, when he lost to matches to Borg, McEnroe, Connors, and Wilander, they were happy because the betrayer was kept in line. Sounds familiar with minorities here, huh.
He could have have used that "I played my best line" which he did but he got better and won. Americans didn't like him because he was boring, cold, and arrogant. They called him Ivan "The Terrible" because he humiliated so many American players (arrogant and charismatic ones as well as the hard-working and patient ones) and did it with a punkish attitude.
Ivan respected and embraced people who worked harder than him which is what kept him from going under when he lost a lot of big matches. Unlike a lot of bullies, he picked on people that he could beat and embraced the challenge of beating the best. Very few bullies can make that transition of beating their own and the best. Eventually, he did with Connors and McEnroe.
After getting out of tennis due to back injuries, respect has come slow as unfortunately guys like McEnroe are in the broadcasting booth while Ivan is living at home raising German shepherds, raising a family, and playing golf. Even his born country doesn't give him respect like let say Martina (not even she does). Hey, Peter Bodo he is from Czechoslovakia. Conservative critics don't want to say nothing because Ivan has tapped into their prejudices of what a conservative champion should be like, English-American and Ivan wasn't. He is Czech-American. Ivan does not care because he won and beat the best doing it his way.

The Alumni & the Dream
Man oh Man. Gentile Assholes of all colors, sexes, and religions really piss me off like hell. They cut you off conversations or group involvement. Give you vibe cuts, stares and glares. Get angry with them, they shoot it down or snob it up but mention the word-- Either they find religion, get angry for discovering their spiritual kryptonite or stop being assholes. Hypocrites.

WNBA (Women's No Business Allowed)
If you look at the WNBA (Women's National Basketball Association) marketing partners they are products oriented for men: Gatorade, Addidas, Nike, Ocean Spray, and others. You will see companies that are omnisex like State Farm, Southwest Airlines, and T-Mobile as well as ABC and ESPN. There are also Toyota, Discover, Kohler, and AOL to round the marketing for the WNBA.
One glaring ommision is that there seems to be a lack of women oriented products and companies that are partners with the WNBA. For a league that has been in existence for 12 years, this is very surprising. However, if you look at the WTA (Women's Tennis Association) same thing. You see Gatorade, Bed and Bath, Dubai Duty Free, and Whirlpool. Finally, you see hotel companies, Wilson, and Travelex.
Yet, you don't see women products like hair, makeup, clothing/fashion, and other women oriented products. Why? I have contacted and written letters to stores like Marshalls, Target, Sears, J.C. Penny, K-Mart, jewelery stores, and other products and stores that cater to women. No can do. A Marshall's business representive said they aren't interested and wish the "WNBA well in their business endeavors."
I point this out and I'm called sexist when I made my speech about this issue. But the paper trail and money says that I'm right. Women fans don't like women in sports like they do in men's sports which is few in general unless it is their family member. You would be suprised that more men seem to attend women's athletic events than women in tennis, golf, and basketball.
Main point: women are sexist to their own!

Mom go get your cataracts
My real mother is debating of whether to have lasic surgery on her eyes. My sister wants me to call her because she seems to listen to me. Whatever? Mom doesn't even to listen to herself maybe the voices.
When I talk to her, she always wants company so if you have the money, visit her. If you want to visit my mother and tell her to get her cataracts done: The village is in Manachai near Karakuidi. It is about 250 miles from Chennai. Here is the address:

S. Sivagami
K.M. SP House
Manachai
Vadagudi Post
P.M. District
Tamilnadu, India.
No numbers. She is hard of hearing and suffering various ailments to her body. She can hardly walk but if you visit her tell her that Davan sent her. To you perves and psychos, she'll talk to but let me warn you, not. You can learn it for yourself like I did. LOL. May the curse be with you.

ESPN Women's basketball commentary
I enjoy watching Nancy Lieberman and Pam Ward do commentary on women's basketball forESPN. Beth Mowins and Debbie Antonelli were the prime commentators for many years but Pam and Nancy have taken over. Pam's awkwardness works with Nancy. Like Elgin Baylor and his famous twitch that got him and Jerry West open. Nancy has a way of stepping in and rolling off her phrases and sentences with a comment of her own but allowing Pam to move on. That is what makes them standout. Pure Poetry! Lots of energy and honesty without the Simon Crowell enjoyment of being an antagonist.
With the second-half about to begin or out of a break, I really enjoy the preparation, talent, and work ethic put into the game by Nancy and Pam. There is mutual respect without the backhands. Their minds are pumping like coaches during timeouts. With other commentators, the game usually creates that effect due to the communion with the crowd, closeness of the game, and rival perspectives. With women's basketball, the game hasn't garnered that crowd excitement, close games are viewed like blowouts, and rivals are meaningless. Yet, Pam and Nancy make the game enjoyable because of their many perspectives (coaching, playing, interviewing, training, reporting, and selling) and how to process that info as it relates to the game at task. The excitement of the game elevates just by those two. Sort of like Billy Packer and the late Jim Thacker when they did ACC basketball during the 70's.
Pam and Nancy can think and respond to each other two plays ahead is what makes them so effective. This allows them to use pauses effectively while maintaining energy because their minds are working. Whereas other broadcasters, it is dead air and you see them react defensively and burn themselves out. Likewise, they can make adjustments when things aren't working due to their preparation but understanding their roles as a team in situations and how to react to them offensively. They maintain a high-level but an even-keel energy throughout their broadcasts.
A good studio team is needed to feed off Nancy and Pam's magic. Stacy Dales, Trey Wingo, and Kara Lawson agree too much. Which is fine but they lack perspective because they are too young to be studio hosts. Very mature but unless they had a father or a mother who was a player and is willing to embrace the past like the Alberts, it doesn't work. For instance, Stephen Curry really absorbs history well but Tameka Catchings doesn't. Now, Stacy and Kara as well as Doris Burke who occasionally comes in are all in the now and go. ESPN shouldn't try to change them but get them to blend with Nancy and Pam. The studio will have a less dead feel and have more of a livelier effect.
Stacy and Kara are hungry for knowledge as well as Trey but ESPN is not helping them at all. Pam and Nancy can do both but they are needed on the court not the studio. Also, Beth what is up with you on the sideline and and Debbie, working with Dave Pasch?
Postscript: I just loved the way Heather Cox handled the joy of Candice Wiggins after she got Stanford into the Final Four. When Heather started to ask questions, Candice was speechless and felt bad about it. She started to deprecate herself in front of Heather and the camera. Instead of annoyance or pity, Heather calmly reassured her, stuck with Candice's emotion without interference and added words to the scene when necessary. Great job!

Dependent mafia in the USA?
American people are willing to fight against Terrorists groups that do harm to others but not terrorist groups that harms others in their own homeland. You have gangsters like the Sicilian Mafia, Russian-Judeo mafia, Irish, Hispanic, Latino, Black, Indians, Jamaicans, Nigerians, East Asians, Albanians, Eastern European, Japanese, Koreans, Chinese, and more to come. My point is these folks are outsiders and immigrants. With the exception of Russian-Judeo mob, most of these mobs inflict harm on their own groups unless somebody crossed over their side without permission or wasn't an invite. The FBI mostly has a line over them. Even the most powerful gangsters are nothing but an FBI snitch bitch to pay off the government.
When I lived in Charlotte, illegal teen prostitution was going on amongst Chinese immigrants. These girls were brought to homes and catered at parties. These homes were next to gung-ho patriots who "would die if any foreigner would do harm to the innocent" bull. In Atlanta, it was the same thing with those massage parlors. I went there a couple of times and those girls looked way too young. Luckily my functions didn't last long but my rep did. Word got around about my adventures at my workplace at the time. Thanks Maria and Miss Grande for your sarcasm.
Eventually, those places were shutdown by surveillance. I went to the American side of the parlors where the girls were older for awhile. Yet, I always wondered concerning the Chinese ones why they were open despite cops being there? Another co-worker asked why don't I go after girls who pay $20 dollars off the street. I simply thought because "no protection". If it wasn't sex with these groups, it was drugs, gambling, or cheap labor. The group would only house their own to control.
In other places, you see country clubs or corporations hire minority workers than their own people but it had to be connection style. Not the immigrant bull of a dumb naive, English illiterate who asked for a job. You have the liaison or middle-person who worked the gambit like mafia. The head boss wouldn't know or didn't care who the workers were as long as they were efficient at their jobs. That was true with people who had their homes fixed by illegal workers or their homes cleaned.
In my observations, the strain I notice is the liasion having to pay for workers and to make sure they are paid efficiently. The liasion is in a vulnerable position to take the easy way out of bribing workers to work for free by threatening deportation or ask for compromising favors. The low workers can't exactly go to the big boss man if mistreatment occurs because big boss is a vulnerable position himself of hiring these workers.
Public opinion is very complex in this situation. There is outrage but it is not cohesive. If a sucessful immigrant has a John the Baptist American covering, Americans will be afraid to inflict their opinion to the top but wait when the immigrant runs out of favor. Small time bosses can forget trying this tactic without connecting themselves with "Mr. Baptist" If people try to mess with him, they are usually gone or keep to themselves and let things pass. This is true in bigger cities, country club resorts, and the burbs. Oh, but who is the real gangster, John the Baptist or the Feds on ATM?
In short, Americans are potent in fighting minorities and whites regardless of status but are impotent in fighting minorities and whites of stature and power.

Digger Phelps critique
Great job, Diggs! You actually spoke during a highlight of a women's game. But you sucked on purpose.
When Stacy is talking to you, meet her question--sort of like you telling the players to meet the ball. You dragged ass. Yeah, you answered her question. Half-assed. Oh gee, you brought some credible information about Connecticut. Even a dumb ass could have said that Connecticut is going all the way. But you don't believe that. You are just throwing up a heave to shut critics up.
You are a researcher and when you do yresearch: you bring pros and cons to teams and how they utilize them against other team with pros and cons. Then you break it down the middle. At least that is how you do with the men's team. Instead, you gave flat answers without any "ball movement" involving your other hosts. You acted like George McGinnis in the 77 finals who didn't get others involved except when the game is close and use Rece as a bail out crutch like George did with Mike Dunleavy in tight situations.
Now that Bobby Knight is on your side, I think Bobby is less sexist than the media is given credit for women's basketball (yes, he is an admitted misogynist). I believe he is willing to critique "inbounds play" of Pat Summitt teams from the past and now the future. Bobby would talk about how the players would use steady pressure to get them to crack under pressure in the 80's and 90's. But with the progress of better players and athletes, Pat Summitt has to get after the inbounder a little more tenaciously. I believe he would use tapes and study them to prove his point. He does like basketball whether women or men play it. His wife is a former basketball coach.

The Writers strike
I support the writer's strike that is going on or if its over by now. I know somebody involved in it. When I look at pictures of the strike and see the participants, I get concerned and bitter. Im looking at them and notice that they are mostly white. I'm not big into having minorities become writers or anything like that because you eventually have to please your white master. Look at rap and Hip-hop.
My only thing is for writers, be honest and responsible for writing bad scripts for Asian-Americans characters like me? We are always looked as animals or subordinates in every issue; like sex, violence, and values. Will this stop? I know this can stop but we don't have a big lobby. Yeah, I'm pro-Asia, that works? Whatever?
Yeah, you want 8 cents for every 19.95 DVD sold? I get that. How about every word or a lack of word where you make minorities feel small in stature. I know go get your own movie companies and distribution (Yeah, while you are at it, why don't you mention about piracy all Asians are notorious for ?) My point is, why should I feel sorry for you when you are just like your master or everybody's white master?

American tennis
American men's tennis was pretty much done since 1961 . You had revival with Ashe, Connors, McEnore and then the Brat pack of Chang, Courier, Agassi, and Sampras. Then lesser players like Todd Martin and Mal Washington during the 1990's. I believe that was due to pros not being able to play Grand Slam events like Gonzales, Trabert, and McKay until 1968. Pros started playing their own events with Jack Kramer into the picture in 1947 when it was just him and Bobby Riggs then Pancho Gonzales and Pancho Segura. After awhile, it was Gonzales, Trabert, Hoad, Rosewall, Segura, and others.
Tennis is a tough sport to get into and really easy to get out of. The problem I see is the coaching in early elementary school levels. You have to send kids to academy's at an early ages. Who can afford that? Americans do play the sport with USTA, K-Swiss, and others with great numbers. Another factor is players on the otherside who can make you better; Winning is emphasized too much. So if I lose, I tend to want to quit then improve my game particularly if I have to play the same gloating opponent unlike in basketball and other team sports, you are one of many. So a player like a T.O or Dominique are actually tennis players who play a team sport because they never seem to vibe with teammates well because they were constantly working on their game for themselves and not how it would help their teammates like Dr. J was.
Everyone is looking at Donald Young, John Isner, and Robbie Ginepri. I thought the best one was the player from Virginia, Brian Vahaly. He went to my brother's high school. I thought he had the mental toughness and the competitiveness but the commitment of playing the pro-grind weak to weak really got to him it seemed particularly when he knew he couldn't be the best unlike in college. He wasn't content on being a top 10 or top 20 players. He was great academically so tennis was to pay for his graduate school.
I look at Roddick and Blake both good solid players but lack quickness to beat top players in tough situations. They are fast and powerful but they have to really get on top of their opponents to win those type of matches like Magic Johnson and his Lakers in the early 80's with his passing that destroyed teams early. However, teams figured if they could hang around, they can put doubt until Magic developed the outside shot and the baby hook to win games in tough situations in 1987 and 1988. They were in the Finals in 1989 and 1991. That is what you are seeing in Blake and Roddick do, getting better and better in their approach shots and volley. Will it be enough?

Chris Evert's bitches
I'm a weak Asian-Indian American (whew) guy who loses to anybody in sight. The mental fortitude I have would make even Jana Novotna laugh. Now last year, I played a K-Swiss and got creamed to death. I didn't win a set in a 8 game schedule. I lost to short guys, medium guys, and tall guys. I quit on matches by the end of each set except one because my opponent Jean-Franois was such a great guy, I wanted to play hard for him when things went bad. The Scotts were pretty cool as well as Mr. Barton that I played against.
This year, I was trying to sign up for the spring season. A lady in charge of the signings and scheduling was looking at my record and saying some bull. Basically she was doing the Al Davis thing with Lane Kiffin, making me quit indirectly by saying I should play at a lower level which I totally agreed but she tried to provoke the argument by saying it would be better if you move lower and I said yes. She kept trying to piss me off and trying to get me angry but I wouldn't budge.
Unlike Lane, I sucked. The lady was saying about how she got a tennis racket at a department store and how everyone laughed at her. She kept at it back and forth; she finally got to me but my dim wit came up with something. I told her, it isn't like I'm going to beat Roger Federer and she shut up for good. I wish I mentioned this to her: "no matter how much you improve, you will still be Chris Evert's bitch for life because she is in your heart, your mind, your soul, and your spirit." Judge Judy can't help you because she is one too.
Now I hate losing like anybody but it sucks with it is by people with bully attitudes What I mean by that is people who beat me yet tom up to people that they can't beat. Jean-Francois who treats everybody the same even if he played Roger Federer. He was tough, strong, determined, and pleasant. Yes, Roger is the best of all-time and even a bully could be an awe but getting bitched-slapped by Chris Everts' including my ALTA team. Shoot, you guys and gals can kiss my ass. Pity guys can get annoying too but are okay as long as they have good looking women but these women are either really nice or have issues. I pity you, Steele. Pity women are real annoying because they are married to dorks who can be nice or abusive but these women are so nice to you can't hate them even if you want to.
Personally, I don't like the persecution attitude approach that I take because people get turned off by that unless you get ladies from it like Pancho Gonzales and if you are good. You need people on your side if you are going to get results. Me, I don't care. Why are all men and women who are under 5'8 with the bully attitude get bitch-slapped by the Chris Everts' and Tracy Austins'? Don't lie, you know you have been schooled by these women. If you don't like being short, why don't you allow your damn wife to get banged by someone like Tom Brady and maybe you can get an offspring (but stupid, what if a Buford T. Justice has a son like Junior? Answer: Buford T. Justice goes after the best, Buford to pity but not his wannabes like that lawyer and Mr. Bolly who would suck Burt's ....). Anyway, Tom does have that high-ankle sprain and most of your wives don't exactly look like Christie Brinkley (And I thought short guys have all the babes but then why would they have an attitude if they were all like Paul Simon in Annie Hall).
Now with the ladies I don't understand it; is it because you are closeted or that your husband is a loser and you have to do the work. You work hard against Williams sisters type but then quit when the Chris Everts' rip your heart out and you are so nice about it when you could beat her. Is it because the Chris Everts' are more feminine than you and if you won, you still lost so you quit to those types but not the Williams sisters type. Lets see about Maria Sharapova and Justine Henin, why do you lose to them? Are they like Chris Evert?
As for me, I better get some good-looking ladies like Federer to win. Oh yeah, I got to win or be another Chris Evert's bitch who finds weak people to bully and the Roger Federers' to suck up but I'm 5'11. Oh well, an annoying pity player.
This year, I was trying to sign up for the spring season. A lady in charge of the signings and scheduling was looking at my record and saying some bull. Basically she was doing the Al Davis thing with Lane Kiffin, making me quit indirectly by saying I should play at a lower level which I totally agreed but she tried to provoke the argument by saying it would be better if you move lower and I said yes. She kept trying to piss me off and trying to get me angry but I wouldn't budge.
Unlike Lane, I sucked. The lady was saying about how she got a tennis racket at a department store and how everyone laughed at her. She kept at it back and forth; she finally got to me but my dim wit came up with something. I told her, it isn't like I'm going to beat Roger Federer and she shut up for good. I wish I mentioned this to her: "no matter how much you improve, you will still be Chris Evert's bitch for life because she is in your heart, your mind, your soul, and your spirit." Judge Judy can't help you because she is one too.
Now I hate losing like anybody but it sucks with it is by people with bully attitudes What I mean by that is people who beat me yet tom up to people that they can't beat. Jean-Francois who treats everybody the same even if he played Roger Federer. He was tough, strong, determined, and pleasant. Yes, Roger is the best of all-time and even a bully could be an awe but getting bitched-slapped by Chris Everts' including my ALTA team. Shoot, you guys and gals can kiss my ass. Pity guys can get annoying too but are okay as long as they have good looking women but these women are either really nice or have issues. I pity you, Steele. Pity women are real annoying because they are married to dorks who can be nice or abusive but these women are so nice to you can't hate them even if you want to.
Personally, I don't like the persecution attitude approach that I take because people get turned off by that unless you get ladies from it like Pancho Gonzales and if you are good. You need people on your side if you are going to get results. Me, I don't care. Why are all men and women who are under 5'8 with the bully attitude get bitch-slapped by the Chris Everts' and Tracy Austins'? Don't lie, you know you have been schooled by these women. If you don't like being short, why don't you allow your damn wife to get banged by someone like Tom Brady and maybe you can get an offspring (but stupid, what if a Buford T. Justice has a son like Junior? Answer: Buford T. Justice goes after the best, Buford to pity but not his wannabes like that lawyer and Mr. Bolly who would suck Burt's ....). Anyway, Tom does have that high-ankle sprain and most of your wives don't exactly look like Christie Brinkley (And I thought short guys have all the babes but then why would they have an attitude if they were all like Paul Simon in Annie Hall).
Now with the ladies I don't understand it; is it because you are closeted or that your husband is a loser and you have to do the work. You work hard against Williams sisters type but then quit when the Chris Everts' rip your heart out and you are so nice about it when you could beat her. Is it because the Chris Everts' are more feminine than you and if you won, you still lost so you quit to those types but not the Williams sisters type. Lets see about Maria Sharapova and Justine Henin, why do you lose to them? Are they like Chris Evert?

My faithful one?
In my case, I was a charity case from hell when dealing with Christian women, Muslim women, and Jewish women. I came across each one because they were having some issues with their own religion: economic/class; single-parent taboo, and bi-racial, bi-faith, or bi-anything. Yet, they didn't want to leave their faith. Lot of it was chance meetings. Either I went to some function or meeting maybe even school.
I had some issues with my religion as well. One I wasn't going to be a priest no matter what because I'm not brahmin. But that wasn't the main, my parents and family didn't know shit about Hinduism. My father did concerning literature and music but how to apply to life? To him and his family, they were more fusioned Hindu's of Christian and Muslim culture due to British and Islamic rule. Christian-- free will and Islam-keeping marriage in the family are some examples as well as eating meat and alcohol.
When meeting these folks, I was a mess compared to other kids. I had some things that appealed to them but I was too needy instead of being functional depedent. For example, Ray Charles and the Jewish community and my dad with the Christian community. However, I wanted to be like Rod Carew, or Frank Thomas. That wasn't going to happen. At best, I was going to be in the mode of Ray Charles or Joe Frazier, many levels down. Nothing wrong with those two and they got their ladies as well but it was their own community that they shunned, left, or had lingering issues. My father was the same way with the Christian community. My dad still does work with the Hindu community. He helped set up a Hindu temple near the airport but it the Christian community that respected his abilities. But it seems like, they needed a secondary faith or group to help them through their primary faith or group. They didn't seem to be race conscious but group conscious and how they fit.
Judaism allow outsiders maintain their status better than Christianity, Hinduism, and Islam. Funny thing, you do see Chrisitians and Islamists outsiders contribute to Hinduism but you better have talent and good ethics with the provider or you will be dropped. Same thing with Chrisitianity, but the emphasis and pressure to convert is enormous and most leave. My father didn't though but he was pressured to convert.
As for me, I was just mean and angry. I couldn't understand how those guys were weak like me but those girls rejected me. They made it clear that I would have to convert but I would be one of many to choose. You have better having something to stand out in that crowd. Therefore, I stood on the outside. Being a strong Gentile is an absolute if you want to get a date much less in a relationship in these women of faiths. If you aren't, you will be dropped like a bad habit. Screw you, Megan Eliot. Your BS holy talk and your boyfriend.
Now that the Hindu community is grown in population, I'm now gettting the benefits of being a Hindu of nothing like those guys of nothing from other faiths. Hindu women still want to talk to me because either outsiders reject them or they reject outsiders and this little problem of Hindu boys going back to the motherland to find women (Indian women in America just want too much?). Since I'm in America and I'm not looking, they are coming. Most of these girls are much smarter than me with greater character. Yet, they give me time with their parents blessings for a look. I tell you what, I can truly say that I didn't miss much.

Intelligent Indians?
Every week, I get this crap by non-Indians. Today was this blond chick watching her two sons play tennis at a park. I asked her why she isn't wearing shoes. She talked about her lack of time because she is working all the time as a real estate agent. Though, she is trying to give tennis instruction to her sons and lying about watching how the pros teach. I told her about the cross step when you hit a stroke. Didn't know anything. Man, she was lying like a daddy's whore. Then she asks about one of the practice players on the ALTA team and where he is from. Then she asks me about where I'm from. I say here and then ask where my family is from. I answered, reluctantly.
She talks about her sister in-law being Indian who were adopted by white parents. I don't remember much what she said but her sister-in-law is 35 years old with 5 kids. Then she talks about Indians being smart and that 80% percent of something go to Tech or something. I think she meant in the science. Anyway, I said if you think they are so smart, why aren't you married to one (Very obvious to me, she is a single parent, divorced with white kids). Busted her on that one.
She goes on saying about Indians looking, well! I said, you can tell how Indians look at Tech, they are awkwardly dressed. She goes to the next subject about neighborhood safety and because her sons didn't answer the phone so she dashed to the court (hence, her bare feet). Her sons' were fine. She talked about homeless people living and sleeping behind the trees and asked if I lived here. She goes on about danger and stuff that her boys aren't big enough. I told her it don't matter if you are big or small when you got a gun to your back, there is nothing you can do. We finally, walked away from the tennis court. She talks about getting married to a Latino with a paunch but not telling her kids about so they wouldn't get disappointed in Vegas. She was wearing a blue shirt with boobs exposing like Elvira.
Now, what kind of women would have a great body and pushy attitude yet marry a paunch? Looks like she is trying to marry somebody to hide her identity of something. Two things about women like that: they are either gay or real nymphomaniac towards people of color (repressive feelings that you take it out on somebody else). I say the first. She didn't seem to be attracted to Indians or people of color, yet she was wearing those provactive clothes. I ended the conversation about a kid who adopted from Vietnam and called himself a tanned Redneck with a pickup truck, hat on backwards, and snuff. She said something about how kids are placed in cultures.
Finally, I told her at least you got some taste in people. Usually, women who talk like that end up marrying white dorks (I said dork without the word white). Shanti Feldhann and those women writers in all fields (Mona Charen). Shut up, get a Tom Selleck before you talk about Indians or marry one!
Hey blondie, Indian women are intelligent too like you and they are some pretty ones but they are some ugly ones that could compete with your "current husband" but you don't care about looks, just someone to look after you. LOL! Please!

Jobs, work-career
I was trying to interview for subsitute teaching at a couple of schools in Atlanta. Man, those Assistant Principals give more runarounds than your cheating spouse. The secretaries look like "Ugly Betty" and work like her too. The A.P. doesn't have to worry about his life like the secretaries do when the rejects get mad. Prinicpal is nowhere near. One assistant looked like Protestant loyalist, Billy Wright and the other looked like Bob Kuechenberg from the old Miami Dolphins. I take that back, he looked like Rock Newman, the manager for Riddick Bowe.
The County school employees are bigger and uglier; they look like they want "Bad Santa." Look out below! The security guards act like Judge Judy is presiding. Stand Up!

Who is the man?
I interviewed for selling tickets for sports teams and events in Atlanta and Charlotte. The persons who interviewed me; one looked like the lucky troll with a bowl cut and the facial fuzz; the other try to be like Sandra Oh from Grey's Anatomy. But Sandra has charm despite her sloppiness; this interviewer was nervous and coy. Bottom line: bosses don't have to look good but the candidates better. I had hair on my ears, didn't shave in certain places, and my pemphigous started to mold up in my skull. I had to grease my hair to kill the medicine odor as well as shampoo. Hope it worked.
Both of the managers had the same patterns. Same question: What do you want to be 5 years from now? Where do you see yourself in this company? What do you bring to the company? Later, if I don't call you by 5:30 for a second interview: it isn't we don't like you but we think somebody else is better qualified.
On the second interview, a hotel manager insisted that I go back and check if I made the qualifications even if they didn't call back because people in Charlotte are kind of slow and there are many applicants.
When I went back to the office for a check back, the blond secretary said they would call back after a few hours but I told her my phone went dead and needed a charger: do you have one? (Where was MacKenzie- the brunette. It could have been fake but charming unlike the blond). She didn't. A guy with chapped lips went outside the building and another guy went into the office rooms to find "Mr. Troll". As I waited, another manager stepped in and said "Lucky" wasn't able to contact me because of the applicants and I didn't make the cut. I knew that going in because an applicant from the day before was taking to the managers when I came in.
I returned home to try to again. This time. I will ask the man instead of his followers!

Maintaining your race?
I think the person said "Marriage is for white people" meant that "What is the point of following the white model when you are trying to maintain your race"?
I'm Asian-Indian and I'm tired of all Asian family and minorities's anger of trying to mold their children into an AMerican success while their trying to maintain their identity when they live in white neighborhoods, fear their own and other minorities, and elect leaders that are white.
I believe in the value of hard work only if it brings empowerment that can be shared or a power that is envied by all instead of secondary or second class manner in white American society. Most minorities are willing to work to the death for themselves and their family but ask them who they rather support as a leader: a white one with no work ethic but can keep other minorities away from them. An annoying contradiction that is so prevalent and never seems to go away. Sam Yorty made a living out of this as mayor of Los Angeles in the 60's with conservative Jews and smaller minorities. George W is doing the same with conservative Hispanics, Asians, Blacks, and Muslims.

Guys Lewis in the Hall of Fame
Guy Lewis (coach of Houston Cougars, Hall of Fame)
I was inspired to write this because of the buzzer beater concerning N.C. State and Houston from 1983. I think this game has penalized the coaching career of Guy Lewis despite 592 wins and 5 final fours. Critics say that he had great athletes like Hakeem Olajuwon, Clyde Drexler, Elvin Hayes, Rob Williams, and Michael Young. They mention the years that he went to the final four 2 with Elvin Hayes (67 and 68) and three with Olajuwon (1982-1984) and nothing in between.
The NCAA banned the dunk rule in 1967 not because of Kareem's height and ability but the fact that the 1967 Houston Cougar team had all five guys that can dunk. Lewis emphasized and practiced it because it promoted hustle, concentration, and toughness that so many coaches try to preach. By teaching the dunk, you are teaching power, flexibility as well as post play and players to be an attack mode from whether you are up or down. There was a lot of teaching concerning how to post, position, and pivot before the dunk which is what many critics and impersonating supporters failed to realize. Because you emphasize the vertical game, you put an emphasis on rebounding and block shots. If you do those things, you have control on offense and defense. That dunk law set his program back but if the dunk was allowed, I think Houston could have won in 1968 and maybe UCLA wouldn't have this great dynasty or Indiana going undefeated in 1976.
Then the 1982-1984 teams. After each final four appearance in those years, their star player would leave for the NBA. Rob Williams left in 1982, Drexler left in 1983, and Hakeem left in 1984. Yet, Houston made the final four in 1983 and 1984 with different line-up. You hear coaches complaining about players leaving early and what it can and did to their teams. Well, why not give credit to Lewis for coaching for those teams? Also, those players weren't highly recruited by many of the colleges because they were "schooled" in basketball. Yet, these guys became stars under Lewis and many became stars in the NBA. He has three guys in the Hall, yet he isn't. THat is not right!
I know coaching opponents criticized his coaching but nobody could beat Kareem in 67 and 68. In 1983 final, they didn't make their free throws. In 1982 and 1984, they were not good enough personal wise to match up with Carolina and Georgetown. When UCLA lost, it was due to David Thompson's vertical game of the alley-op pass from Monty Towe and his ability to block shots. People wondered how UCLA beat Kentucky in 1975. Well, Wooden didn't have to worry about being dunked.
