Wish me luck in Vegas... The Hotel is giving me a 50$ gas card, $50 kick back on the room rate, Free Dinner every night and $25 in table or slot play a day. And free interweb..... Because Afterall I am the Commander....

I had the pleasure of finally meeting BabyMayMoon Thursday night while I was in Los Angeles. I tell you this was a date a long time in the comming.
Negs famously chronicled the evenings adventures here . I suggest y'all click through and read it. MAKE HASTE!! GO NOW!!!
I have to say I had a fantastic evening of Persian food and Hookah smoking. The atmosphere outlined for me was relaxed and groovy. Negs was nothing less than a courteous and attentive hostess......and damn that girl is funny.
Thanks for a wonderful evening Negs!! Make sure you hook up with CiaoBella to lock in some Texas time. You gotta give me a chance to repay the favor...

Mesquite Chop House, and Flying Saucer are always good Digs.
Saturday I saw my first Professional Tennis Match . http://www.rmkchampionships.com/1/home/
I saw Soderling beat Stephanek in singles. Soderling beat Roddick the day before to some suprise.
I also saw a doubles match with 2 thai twins playing some brazilian kids. Fun to watch...
I also saw my first Roller Derby.http://www.memphisrollerderby.com/ .
The Legions of Zoom lost to the Woman of Mass Destruction.... Awesome... I was invited to the after party but I had to decline as the only scantilly clad woman in roller skates I want in my close proximity is CiaoBella...
And for my 3 first... ABSINTHE....
I said it...
ABSINTHE...
And what they say is true... I have a bottle of Lucid here... http://www.drinklucid.com/lucid_home.cfm
For years this stuff was illegal... and it should probably stay that way...
62% alcohol, Anise flavored Herbachol.... Black Licorice Bombay Sapphire with 22% more alcohol....
Long story short.... my 250lb frame was a little tossed after taking pains to make sure the coldest of water was mixed with the sugar prior to quaffing...
Sunday I took a Paddle Wheel Boat tour up and down the Mississisppi.....
werd...
I have to stay in Memphis for 2 weeks....

My Grandma (mom's mom) went to the Business School at USC.
My Great Grand Dad (Mom's Mom's Dad...) got his law degree from USC.....
My Mom cried on the phone today when I told her that for the next week I will be teaching at USC. Faculty not students... but still.... Carrying on the tradition.....
And by the way.... I have a hotel room in Mid Town LA across the street from the campus in case anyone is interested in tearing it up...

Hey Everyone, I am going to be in San Diego for a week at the end of this month. Anyone interested in hooking up for some trash talk and libations?
Lemme know......
Werd.
Yo....
I am back in Cali for the first time in 2.5 years.
I will be in Walnut Creek, and Sacramento for the next 2 weeks.
I have to say.... I kinda missed the place...
Werd.
I pulled something cool out of the closet the other day.
My Espresso machine.
I just made some French Vanilla Capuccino's for the Missus and myself...
Anyone else pull anything out of the closet lately?
The US Patent and Trademark office said no, and sent her 10 MB of Porn to prove why she couldn't trademark the phrase.
Read about it here.

I am in a business hotel. After 11pm your in trouble..
Which suprised me why a bunch of us business travelers where seated in the same area as a Wedding Party.
Business asleep by 11.
Wedding????
At 1 AM after a note, a call by management and a personal visit by management my tattooe'd neighbor wouldn't shut up
So at 1 am I walked out of my room..
ME "listen bitch if you dont shut up I will beat you about the head, chest and shoulders."
DUDE: "are you in your underwear?"
ME: "Yeah, A. when was the last time you had your ass kicked? B. By a guy in underwear??"
DUDE: stutters....
ME: "Bitch ....(pushes) dont tell me you want to be whipped by an angry 250 pound guy in his underwear....it's 1am just can it and go to bed......."
I slept fine until 6 when the alarm went off. Werd........
P.S. Aggressive...yes... but how often can you get in a fight in your underwear for a good reason and not be a lesbian????? I agree so I went for it.....
So in My opinion.... BVD's Trump Tattoo's
I can't go to London because I wont be able to go for 2 weeks.
If I didn't have classes scheduled next week, I would have been able to go to London for 2 weeks on someone elses dime.
