Unfortunately, I didnt get any responses. Thats ok, Ive done homework on the subject, and turns out San Antonio's Crime rate is the highest in the nation. </div><br /><div></div><br /><div>The FBI released statistical data that indicated that San Antonio per capital has the highest crime rate, and this was released in May of this year. Driving aorund the city one can easily see why. Prostitution, and Drugs overwhelm the south and south southeast sides. Graffiti removal. cant keep up with new graffiti, and the curfew is flatout ignored, let alone re-enforced. </div><br /><div></div><br /><div>Electing me as Mayor, is a fix to all of these problems. If elected I will fine parents on Graffiti, </div><br /><div>increase fines on kids who are out past curfew, and make the call of putting more cops on the street, and not pulling funds away from a critical needs item for the city.</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>Now the task wont be easy, and I go into it knowing that there are many pitfalls I might encounter. That being said, Im confident that with me as your mayor, you can rest assured, knowing that your rest is assured. </div><br /><div></div><br /><div>Big-E Is Tough On Crime...Every Time..</div>smoothiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07777474999517093280noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37438609.post-70249250970862512352009-07-23T15:20:00.002-06:002009-07-23T15:36:03.572-06:00Running For San Antonio Mayor..<a href="http://www.wayfaring.info/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/san-antonio-tx.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 640px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 587px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://www.wayfaring.info/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/san-antonio-tx.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div><span style="font-family:georgia;">Ha Ha...Made you look...I know its been a while since I actually posted, but to go into the past yr of my life would take more then a post about me running for a position I will never get. But in the short term, yep ya boy E is actually running for political office at his local college. </span></div><br /><div><span style="font-family:georgia;"></span></div><br /><div><span style="font-family:georgia;">The way it works is, for my final, I'll be running against fellow classmates and I actually have to convince them to vote for me b/c they cant vote for themselves..Or else we'd have a 13 way tie. </span></div><br /><div><span style="font-family:georgia;">That being said, Im going to post several local hot topic items, you the blogger are gonna tell me which of the top 3 caoncern you, and from there, I will run on those as my platform. You can reply to my post, or as usual email me directly for privacy reasons. </span></div><br /><div><span style="font-family:georgia;"></span></div><br /><div><span style="font-family:georgia;">Here's a rundown of some of the more controversial things Ive noticed.</span></div><br /><div><span style="font-family:georgia;"></span></div><br /><div><span style="font-family:georgia;">1. Lifting the cellphone ban in school zones. (I have 3 schools on either side of my house)</span></div><br /><div><span style="font-family:georgia;">2. Moving Strip clubs out of the City Limits</span></div><br /><div><span style="font-family:georgia;">3. Free Wireless for the city. (Houston's allready experimenting with this)</span></div><br /><div><span style="font-family:georgia;">4. Turning 281 into a toll road (Im actually for this)</span></div><br /><div><span style="font-family:georgia;">5. Creating Fine for Parents of kids who Graffiti and making them clean up areas there kids tag. (Corpus Christi is doing this)</span></div><br /><div><span style="font-family:georgia;">6. Requiring Sex Offenders to have sign outside of there house. </span></div><br /><div><span style="font-family:georgia;">7. Creating a Car Pool Van Voucher system. </span></div><br /><div><span style="font-family:georgia;"></span></div><br /><div><span style="font-family:georgia;">Again Im running off the 3 that you guys tell me. Odds are By next tue. My inbox will be low, but what the hey, its worth a try. </span></div><br /><div><span style="font-family:georgia;">That being said, who knows, this might be the start of me blogging again, stay tuned for my next post tomorrow..</span></div><br /><div><span style="font-family:georgia;">EdE</span></div>smoothiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07777474999517093280noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37438609.post-66324190857938166492008-08-22T06:41:00.008-06:002008-08-23T15:56:01.702-06:00Old Skool Friday Al B Sure....Night and Day<object height="344" width="425"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/mZ6GddZbQHE&hl=en&fs=1"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/mZ6GddZbQHE&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object><br /><strong><em><span style="font-family:times new roman;">I know its been a minute since E did this, but he's told me if I can come correct bring it back..So In honor of the tape my big sis made pop twice, I give you Al B.

In the matchups I wanna make one thing clear..I TOOK THE TEAMS AS THEY WERE CONSTRUCTED..The players selected at the times they were selected..Not when in there primes...With that said, its assumed you see a starting 5 from 1992 like this</span></em></strong></div><br /><div><strong><em><span style="font-family:times new roman;"></span></em></strong></div><br /><div><strong><em><span style="font-family:times new roman;">PG Magic Vs. PG Kidd adv.. Kidd</span></em></strong></div><br /><div><strong><em><span style="font-family:times new roman;">Heres why</span></em></strong></div><br /><div><strong><em><span style="font-family:times new roman;">Magic had to unretire to come and play for the dream team. Jason Kidd is 33. I give a slight passing edge to Magic but Speed, agility, and defense are all advantages Jason would cream Magic on. </span></em></strong></div><br /><div><strong><em><span style="font-family:times new roman;"></span></em></strong></div><br /><div><strong><em><span style="font-family:times new roman;">SG His Airness Vs. Kobe adv..His Airness</span></em></strong></div><br /><div><strong><em><span style="font-family:times new roman;">Heres Why. </span></em></strong></div><br /><div><strong><em><span style="font-family:times new roman;">At the time of the Dream Team MJ was at the Apex of his prime. You wasnt touchin MJ. I dont care who you were and are today. Fresh off a Championship he dominated on every side of the court. From lockin his guy down, to droppin 40 MJ crushed. Kobe wouldnt know what to do. Cant beat MJ with offense, he was far to good a defender at that time..Cant try to lock him down..Jordan Rules..</span></em></strong></div><br /><div><strong><em><span style="font-family:times new roman;"></span></em></strong></div><br /><div><strong><em><span style="font-family:times new roman;">SF Scottie Pip vs. Carmelo Anthony. Scottie</span></em></strong></div><br /><div><strong><em><span style="font-family:times new roman;">Here's why. </span></em></strong></div><br /><div><strong><em><span style="font-family:times new roman;">Everything I said about MJ Scottie did at a robinesque level. Scottie could lock you down and score from all over the place. Carmelo would get shutout. Scottie would be streakin down the lane while snowbird tried to steal easy buckets...</span></em></strong></div><br /><div><strong><em><span style="font-family:times new roman;"></span></em></strong></div><br /><div><strong><em><span style="font-family:times new roman;">PF Sir Charles vs. Bron Bron..adv Bron Bron</span></em></strong></div><br /><div><strong><em><span style="font-family:times new roman;"></span></em></strong></div><br /><div><strong><em><span style="font-family:times new roman;">I had to wrestle with this one. First you have a True Power Forward going up against a guy who could easily play the PF. One was coming down from his prime, and one has yet to reach his. One has an all around game, and one was dominant in the paint. I have to go with Bron Bron..</span></em></strong></div><br /><div><strong><em><span style="font-family:times new roman;">Here's Why. </span></em></strong></div><br /><div><strong><em><span style="font-family:times new roman;">Charles would have to work to stay with Bron, but Bron would have to work in the paint. They somewhat cancel out. In the end though, Bron has that certain ability to catch fire and go. Highly Streaky...If Bron is own, Sir Charles starts to get dirty.. </span></em></strong></div><br /><div><strong><em><span style="font-family:times new roman;"></span></em></strong></div><br /><div><strong><em><span style="font-family:times new roman;">Center Admiral/Ewing vs Howard. adv Howard </span></em></strong></div><br /><div><strong><em><span style="font-family:times new roman;"></span></em></strong></div><br /><div><strong><em><span style="font-family:times new roman;">The Admiral has shown me on more then one occasion that when matched up against a Shaq type he gets overmatched. Ewing gor physical, but an up down game would kill him.. Howard for all intensive purposes brings a physical game, can run like a sprinter, and can jump out the gym. </span></em></strong></div><br /><div><strong><em><span style="font-family:times new roman;">He creams these powder puffs in the paint on rebs. And in a game with the players mentioned above, rebs are gonna be at a premium..</span></em></strong></div><br /><div><strong><em><span style="font-family:times new roman;"></span></em></strong></div><br /><div><strong><em><span style="font-family:times new roman;">Bench </span></em></strong></div><br /><div><strong><em><span style="font-family:times new roman;">adv Dream Team. </span></em></strong></div><br /><div><strong><em><span style="font-family:times new roman;"></span></em></strong></div><br /><div><strong><em><span style="font-family:times new roman;">You can zone all you want, but the Dream team had a bench chock filled with shooters. Larry Legend, Chris Mullen, Clyde the Glyde, and the Mailman all had range 17 ft extending. At its best Micheal Redd is the only living player on the current roster who can bust up a zone. As for the Redeem team, there strength is there speed. With a bench that has the likes of CP3, Darren Williams, D-Wade and Bosh, expect a heavy dose of up and down..</span></em></strong></div><br /><div><strong><em><span style="font-family:times new roman;"></span></em></strong></div><br /><div><strong><em><span style="font-family:times new roman;">So tallying all of the above, Id say that in a very close battle given all the parameters Id have t go with the Dream Team in a very close game 106 to 98. </span></em></strong></div><br /><div><strong><em><span style="font-family:times new roman;"></span></em></strong></div><br /><div><strong><em><span style="font-family:times new roman;">The Dream team isnt gonna run with this squad, but what they will do is play a sound controlled game focused on busting up the zone and straking on the misses. Kobe gives up 30 to MJ and I expect a huge game from Chris Bosh. The dream team has no answer for a 6-10 bigman who can shoot and defend in the post. The difference in the game, <span style="color:#ffff66;">SHOOTING</span>. Legend, Mullen, and MJ eat this team alive in the corners. The moment they figure out they gotta defend the 3 MJ, Sir Charles, and the Mailman start back to the basket beat-ins. </span></em></strong></div><br /><div><strong><em><span style="font-family:times new roman;">The only hope the redeem team woud have is controlling the tempo..If they could manage a game like the Warriors Play, it would get ugty quick for the golden yrs gang...</span></em></strong></div><br /><div><strong><em><span style="font-family:times new roman;"></span></em></strong></div><br /><div><strong><em><span style="font-family:times new roman;">your thoughts..</span></em></strong></div><br /><div><strong><em><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Smoothie</span></em></strong></div>smoothiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07777474999517093280noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37438609.post-11764414201487550812008-08-18T14:22:00.002-06:002008-08-18T15:07:21.809-06:00I'll get to know you alot better...After...S@x.......<a href="http://www.crestock.com/images/60000-69999/66198-xs.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://www.crestock.com/images/60000-69999/66198-xs.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div><strong><em><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#ffff66;">KJ said he enjoyed bloggin so much he wanted to do it again..(Given my schedule, I more then welcomed it) So Without Further adieu..I give you KJ week here at RP.....</span></em></strong></div><br /><div><strong><em><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#ffff66;">SMOOTHIE...</span></em></strong></div><br /><br /><br /><div><strong><em><span style="font-family:times new roman;">Ok so I wanna get ANOTHER HUGE gripe I got about dating right off my chest right now...So im with you, we fealing each other, we leave the spot, and get to yo place..

Thats what I thought to. </span></em></strong><br /><strong><em><span style="font-family:times new roman;"></span></em></strong><br /><strong><em><span style="font-family:times new roman;">So I decide Im gonna take the convo up a notch. I ask her what she looks for in a man. She says " I wanna thug..Nothing against a hard workin brotha doing his thang, but I need a nicka " I had to make sure I heard her correctly as she was sipping the 11 dollar shot of Patron I had just purchased her . Obviously a look at me would lead her to believe im no thug. Faaaar from it. </span></em></strong><br /><strong><em><span style="font-family:times new roman;">I contract for the federal Gov. to catch thugs..I had to ask "Why would you a succesful sista be intersted in someone who is out on the blocks" ..</span></em></strong><br /><strong><em><span style="font-family:times new roman;"></span></em></strong><br /><strong><em><span style="font-family:times new roman;">Stars in her eyes ,she goes into great detail about being with a guy who lives for the moment, Who's always on the grind, and constantly focused. Fellas as t-h-yck as she was the weaker man in me wanted to hit the whip and come back in that bar with a wifebeater on sporting 3 cell phones and cornrows..But the stronger part of me had to walk away..I thanked her for her convo and left. </span></em></strong><br /><strong><em><span style="font-family:times new roman;"></span></em></strong><br /><strong><em><span style="font-family:times new roman;">She had me heated.. I could tell she wasnt feeling me, thats fine, I wasnt tryin to walk her down the aisle, (<span style="color:#ffff66;">maybe down the block to the Mo</span>) but to look at her Idve never guessed she was into thugs.. Especially at the spot we was in. Collar shirt and Nice shoes are a must there.

I can point out a couple of things that got me to my place in life and maybe it will serve as a blueprint. </span></em></strong></div><br /><div><strong><em><span style="font-family:times new roman;"></span></em></strong></div><br /><div><strong><em><span style="font-family:times new roman;">1.

Joker pretty much enlist the help of a crew who's sole job is to kill each other off if they take to much time.

Now ELI can shoulder the load of a Shockey loss. I mean one less loudmouth in the huddle is always a good tihng. I just have issues with the D. Strahan is by no means LT, but he did bring heart. The Giants are more then capable of proving me wrong, (the hot chick thats above them is not above her traditional flop job) I just have to see alot more from them on D. with the loss pof Strahan.

My goal is to watch and get a better understanding of whats really going on and see if I learned anything new from watching the show. That being said, it was hard for me to watch CNN'S Black in America without being a little more crittical then normal givin that A, I am indeed a Proffesional Black Male in America, and B Im married to someone who is Black and living in America.<br /><br />If im being totally honest, I give the overall 2-day special a 5 on a 10 point scale. Before I breakdown why, allow me to express this quick point about the special. It was infact, groundbreaking. MSNBC tried something along these lines, but there story was based more on a young man tracing his roots back, and coping. It is my hope that other networks pickup where CNN left off. There are so many aspects of peoples lives that frankly we just dont know about, and with us on the verge of potentially electing a blackman as president, I for one am a HUGE FAN of full disclosure. I want want to see how this affects the whiteman, brownman, blackman, and soforth.<br /><br />Ok , back on track..Day1 Black in America Blackwomen.<br />Family I was VERRRRRY dissapointed by this. 90% I repeat 90% of the special was dedicated to painting sisters as promescurous sex goddeses who rarely work, engage in unsafe sex, cant marry, and have low self esteem. The sistahs who are out there, are to out there, and only want to focus on there careers. Atleast thats the picture CNN painted on Wednesday's canvas.<br /><br />Here's a summation<br />There was a story of a woman who through bad choices/lack of dad was living in Houstons fifth ward district(avg. ghetto usa) trying to make it as a real estate agent and raise her 5 kids by her self. Everyday was a struggle between want and need. She gets kicked outta her home, and the gamily has to move into a lower mortaged house. She's making it though, but its tough. She blames her upbringing for her decision to makem men her burden/pleasure. Growing up withoutt any prominent ones in her life, resulted in her chasing them in her adolescent age. 2 kids beofore 20, and 5 total by 35. Another story was of a cutie who had unprotected sex just once and contracted HIV. This one broke my heart. This girl has alot of energy, and she has the looks of a dyme. She's now an activist, and speaks out against AIDS/HIV. The last snippet I'll provide dug into the life of a biracial married couple in ATL. Sistah with Opie..The situation didnt bother me at all. Im all about people dating whoever makes them happy. What bothered me was the commentary given by Tara Wall )(conservative sistah) .."Black men are taken aback by my sucess and often dont want to date a succesful sister"<br /><br /><span style="color:#ff0000;">WRONG WRONG WRONG. I dont know what circles up in DC she's runnin in, but I know first-hand that nothing is more attractive to a man, then a woman that can do her. Throw in a cute face , and the ability to make a brotha a country style breakfast, followed with freakishly heathenist sex, and I'd say a sista is the most lethal thing on the planet. And those women exist.<br /><br />The proffesional sista who was taught by momma the way to keep, and maintain a proffesional career/relationship. Sadly CNN was more interested in highlighing baby-mommadrama and the rest of the stereotypical assumptions made of black women.</span><br /><br /><br /><span style="color:#ffff66;">Here's 3 things CNN could have done to improve the women segment.<br /><br />1st. Hilight Sista's in there comfort zones. Ie the Beauty Parlor, Massage shop etc. Give them an open mike and moderate it all topics ranging from politics, to gossip.<br /><br />2nd More showcasing of the Proffesional Sista. Investiigate her struggle to maintian in a workforce that is DOMINATED BY THE WHITE MALE, all the while maintaining her blackness<br /><br />3rd. Coastal representaion. Sho how sista's from Cali differ from there Houston, Baltimore, and NY counterparts</span><br /><br />Overall I gave the Black Womens segment a 3.<br /><br />On to the Brothas.<br />Someone at CNN must have got the memo, either that or they were directed by 2 totally different people. Whatever the case, it was like night and day.<br /><br />CNN showcased a tale of 2 brothas out the gate. Brotha one was the modern dayt Cliff Huxtable. Model family 3 kids all succesful, and wife is a Circuit Court judge. He a superintendent , along with his wife raises his kids to be smart, repsectful and value an education. Brotha 2 was a former felon who accepted God while in jail and made it a point in his life to turn young brothas life around.<br /><br />Both men were in there mid to late 50's and had came up in newly de-segregated Arkansas.<br />The stories ran in perfect parralel as they showed how choices can shape and change your life.<br />Another story hilighted a young brotha who got a Computer Science Degree while in prison. No he's a felon so his job options are a little bleek, but he still remained positive and hopeful that his prospects will improve as time goes by.<br /><br /><span style="color:#ff0000;">Now here's where it FLOORED ME. A proffesor at Princeton did a study. Get this, 95% of blackmen with a felononious are criminal backround almost never get hired. Now that may sound steep but heres where I just sat there. A whiteman with the same prison wrapsheet has a 50% chance of getting hired. THE SAME STATISTICAL ODDS OF A BLACKMAN WITHOUT A PRISON RECORD...Essentially a blackman w/o a prison record is just as hirable as a whiteman with one.<br /><br />Im going to let you digest that one for a bit....</span><br /><br />Ok, Im back. They had Spike Lee on. He dove into the complexities he's faced trying to get his movies out. Many of them are privatly financed b/c Hollywood believes his message can be "to over the top"..Blackfolk we know code. The counter to his arguement was Joseph C. Philliips. He of Strickly Business, and small role fame. (He was the naval officer who married Denise on the Cosby's) He claimed that Hollywood does have the job's its just blackmen are lazy. Of course since he hasnt been heard of since Girlfriends axed him, I guess he's just to lazy to be found out there. Black conservatives irk me. Most of there stich is puttin us down. They seem totally oblivious to how society has ACTUALLY TREATED BLACKFOLK, and they come off as trying to hard to impress a culture that secretly could care less .<br /><br />My last snippet is of he brotha they followed out on the job chase. This brotha was young, had 3 kids, and was on a daily grind. He was positive, and focused and in the end he got a job. A good one night stcoking, and delivering. Now they had another one, specific to me. A young brotha who was in a worfoce heavily dominated by wihtes. I thought it to be good as well, but I would have liked to see them go deeper into how he has to be proffesional while being black. Its a fineline that I think people need to see.<br /><br />Overall I gave this special a 8<br /><br />I'll close by saying this. CNN isnt going to impress everyone with there special I am one of those people. I will say though, that im really impressed with the effort. I felt Soledad Obrien did about as good as one could w/o the exp. of street life. I place a strong emphasis on someone being able to tell a story or drive a narrative they can somewhat relate to.<br />Blackfolk are a prideful people. We are proffesionals, we are entertainers, and we are family people. Not all of what you see on BET represents us . You wont catch a majority of our men walking around with wifebeaters and gold teeth. Also, you wont catch a majority of our sista's walkin round in booty shorts with 5 kids at home, and lookin to find there "Captain"... (dont act like dont know what that mean..)<br /><br />CNN was able to provide insight on one of these,and for that I thank them. But im standin up for my sistas and asking them to to submit a better perspective on sistas the next time.<br /></span><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"></span></em></strong></div><div><strong><em><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">SMOOTH.....</span></em></strong><br /><br /><br /><br /></div>smoothiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07777474999517093280noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37438609.post-54804041140083434492008-06-03T21:30:00.002-06:002008-06-03T21:33:51.545-06:00Tonight is Barack's Night<a href="http://jmph.blog.lemonde.fr/files/2008/03/barack-obama-devant-le-capitole.1206907718.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://jmph.blog.lemonde.fr/files/2008/03/barack-obama-devant-le-capitole.1206907718.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div><strong><em><span style="font-family:times new roman;">I get to tell my 4yr old son that anythings possible..Thank You America, and Thank You Barack for showing many of us that sometimes when you reach for the stars, every now and then, you can actually get one...</span></em></strong> </div>smoothiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07777474999517093280noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37438609.post-17260803288358518502008-05-29T18:28:00.000-06:002008-05-29T18:29:18.908-06:00Little Hillary!<object width="464" height="388" classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000"><param name="movie" value="http://www2.funnyordie.com/public/flash/fodplayer.swf?7228" /><param name="flashvars" value="key=dc0b0f5ffc" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><embed width="464" height="388" flashvars="key=dc0b0f5ffc" allowfullscreen="true" quality="high" src="http://www2.funnyordie.com/public/flash/fodplayer.swf?7228" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"></embed></object><noscript><a href="http://www.funnyordie.com/videos/dc0b0f5ffc">Young Hillary Clinton</a> on <a href="http://www.funnyordie.com/">FunnyOrDie.com</a></noscript>smoothiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07777474999517093280noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37438609.post-39448733945948235942008-05-21T21:14:00.002-06:002008-05-21T21:20:19.720-06:00F*ck a dream ticket<strong><em><span style="font-family:times new roman;">Hillz killed that idea for me.

HE BEAT THE CLINTON MACHINE... Let me put this in perspective. If you were to tell me 3 yrs ago that a first term senator, African American, (MIXED TO BE FAIR) with the name of Barack was poised to be the Democratic Nominee, i'd have taken whatever bet you wanted to give, and I would bragged and boasted that Super Tuesday will end it. </span></em></strong></div><br /><div><strong><em><span style="font-family:times new roman;color:#ffff66;"></span></em></strong></div><br /><div><strong><em><span style="font-family:times new roman;color:#ffff66;">This is a story I wander why we dont see more of.
