The last Three Nights,

Ive been dreaming about Shoveling, it may be that I am an OCD shoveler where every spot has to be cleaned perfectly, In my home I'm not like that at all.......... Is Shoveling Snow into the Streets Morally right to do I'm talking about small pieces where cars just break it down as they pass, cause if it's not then i need to add it on to my Dishonesty Resume of  - Stealing Music, accomplice in a pliers theft, Swedish fish, and Ketchup............................. A reader brings up an Interesting Halachic Question When you get new Action from a new girl is a Shehcheaynoo blessing required?....................Former Israeli President Moshe Katsav was found guilty of 2 counts of rape, The Left wing and Anti religious are having a field day with this, due to the fact that Katsav is an Observant Jew, Rape by anyone is wrong Yes Whoopie Goldberg Even  "Rape, Rape"( Roman Polanski) So attack him as an person not as an Observant person - When Haim Ramon Was Groping woman no one said he is a " chiloni "(no observant)

"Are you sure

  you're OK to drive" - if the roads are bad when u get on them call me, "I don't want u driving if its dangerous"----As i was reading this text I thought this girl is extraordinarily sweet UNTILL one of my friends told me ARE YOU AN IDIOT- shes trying to bail on you for tonight - I didnt see that angle, I think shes being sweet.......  After 3 postponements I  finally met up  with JD girl tonight- I got to NJ very early and killed sometime at the mall. She was kind of enough to make the arrangements, which i Thanked her for, Turns out that she had connections at the place, which got us a lot of free stuff. Awkward moment came when the waiter asked us what are our strict dietary rules- I said why don't they just put a yellow star on us, of course as a joke as for most of my jokes she didn't get or seem interested in as a lot of them flew by her - I did bring my A game I thought as i asked a lot of questions was interested, learned a lot of new stuff about food, which i think i forgot by now-Basically to sum up the night The atmosphere was nice, We had very little in common, but just enough to squeeze out an evenings conversation the snow was a help towards the end  she did happen to be genuine, she asked that i text   her when i got home, I usually text when i get to the Verrazano, cause it gets late- she replied in kind. In My Opinion she happened to be genuinely real nice girl Even though things weren't necessarily great for her she was gracious and caring which i appreciate it . Me and the Giants have about the same chance for there to be church on Sunday............

The Moishiach Finally shows

Up and some a$$hole tries to drive down the block and gets stuck in the middle preventing the plows from cleaning the street. This is a sign of a loser not the driver who got stuck the a$$hole that tries to shovel him out and lives on the block........Off the record the driver is a shami coming to drop off something for my brother in law........... Breaking news he was able to back out of the block- is clear, The trouble with shoveling someone out is there are too many chiefs and no Indians- every one knows the problem and how to get out- but no one wants to do the work

Listening to

History of Howard Stern Inspired me to throw away all my old letters, cards, and pictures from Ex girlfriends- after hearing the Bababooey Apology tape again- I decided i have to get rid of this stuff g-d forbid should it fall into the wrong hands- Past is Past ..............................I was going through my phone contacts and think I have 10  African- American contacts, a couple are old co- workers, one is a friend whose deceased , couple are business contacts, some are people i met randomly, one in particular is a girl I went out with, Shes an orthodox Jew who converted, we met up at a Starbucks, nothing clicked but i found her story fascinating- I generally don't store girls numbers that i go out with, when it doesnt work out- so that i don't even accidentally call them, and they think I'm Creepy, If i were a raciest which I'm not i can use that excuse " I even have black friends"............ Bloomberg promised all streets will be plowed by End of night - I've been diverted to NJ for my date tomorrow night - I don't mind driving out there,she is going to pick the place- last time i was there i developed arthritis from cutting my dates hard chicken. Thanks EE for recommending the place...........

" Go to a Broadway Show,

There are plenty of Tickets" - The words of the Elitist King Bloomberg who managed to disrupt millions of peoples lives in this Snow mess. It Seems like were a third world country seeing snow for the first time in our lives- There is no end in site for this mess, As long as city Hall and Times Square is clean its all good..... Special Shout out Danmiz.com an excellent insightful  blog updating us on various subjects from across the globe......................... I feel bad for the people who walk around looking to make money shoveling, especially on Large Ave Blocks, people stop them, offer them no money and expect them to help them get there cars out, and don't even say thank you, I wont elaborate on my story this morning........ The Third time is not going to be the charm, as tonight's date got canceled again-  It is Rescheduled for Thursday Night,but with this mess who knows- I feel a little more pressure now to make it more fun......................... Reader MB has filed a complaint  with the shul breakfast committee- his claim is that some people eat 60% of the food and when he takes a piece of cheese they look at him funny, I explained to him that certain people have facial expressions beyond there control and for him  not to be offended- hopefully will be able to put  "Breakfastgate"  behind us.

A While back I think,

 On DM website i posted my disgust at prominent members of the Jewish Syrian community for visiting Syria and Taking an audience with Syrian dictator Bashar Assad, Heaping praise on him and his father  Hafetz an adversary of the state of Israel and going as far as saying a special prayer on his behalf. Let's put aside all the suffering that the Jews living in Syria under this brutal regime Experienced, In today's paper the Syrian president ( yup the same one) honored Lebanese killer Samir Kuntar with a prestigious Syrian distinction and praised him, saying "Kuntar was not only the most senior prisoner during his time in jail, but also the most senior free and honorable man." ( the brave Kuntar Murdered 4 Israelis including smashing the head of a 4 year old), a true Lebanese hero. I am pissed at the Israelis also for letting marry , get a degree, and even get  fatter while he was in prison...................

To all those,

Who braved out the cold and went out to shovel this morning , The Nation salutes you. Please stand and be recognized, you are the wind beneath our wings. It is truly inspirational to read all the fB posts of the intrepid men and women- again Thank you................Will the Third time be the charm?  I was supposed to meet up with   "JD Girl " ( shes Sephardic) last night but mother nature intervened and we have rescheduled tentatively for Tuesday night. I hardly know anything about her, but she seems like a genuinely nice girl there is no specific word that i know, but in Hebrew we call her 'bachoorat Chemed"- there are a couple reasons i say this, but i wont get into it ( too long and boring)........ It's been 2 years since The launching of "Operation Cast Lead"- Former PM Ehud Olmert in his new book criticizes severely DM - Ehud Barack of not going in for the kill on Hamas, according to Olmert he wanted to commit 60,000 troops to the Operation. ..............

Stuck in traffic,

 on the belt Parkway, and getting the news of a Blizzard for tomorrow made my drive home even more miserable. I am trying to finish up moving and I am expecting my movers, and also i was looking forward to meeting up with the girl i almost messed up with ( we were supposed to meet up tonight - ill explain at a later post) Not clear weather either plan will happen............ In Shul this morning I saw the guy i call  Hitler, he shaved his Mustache though but he still looks like Him, Other Notable look a likes we see in shul A Shami guy That resembles Hadash MK Ahmad Tibi, Another Shamie that looks like serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer, a George Tekai Look a like who used to wheel some old guy around, The Great Duke Star Danny Ferry, NYC maratahon contributor Fred Lebow , Actor Gene Wilder, and Noted Scientist Chaim Weitzman.................................I went through thousands of old magazines( not porn) and newspapers I used to buy and collect any thing from old basketball previews, to sports Illustrated and historical  newspaper headlines I couldn't bring myself to chucking all of them out, i did chuck a lot though, I would estimate that I must have spend around 5-7 dimes buying and collecting old stuff like that , Where did it get me............I also found my Sr year High School Report card, Unbelievably I failed Gym

Just be Your'e self,

  As far as dating goes i decided not to care anymore and just be myself  - it sounds like a stupid cliche that everyone tells you to be you're self . It  is true in the past  that i made some tasteless jokes or done some stupid things, and gotten myself in odd situations, I'm not sure i was myself or not, maybe its a bad idea to be myself  but what the hell I'll  Try ....... Every year around this time i get a call from my Life Insurance Rep, Every year same stupid joke " "Still Alive just checking to make sure " and then her stupid giggle.When i first got the policy i joked about suicide- They did not find it funny...... My Will needs to be updated as i have added a couple more people..........It's still unclear weather i have to leave the doorman and porters in my old building Christmas tips- I moved out in July, I think I will.As this year I haven't had anyone that I needed to give Gifts to, I'm probably saving close to a dime....................I downloaded an App "Arabic word of the day" figuring i can pick up a new word here and there, it may be me but putting words like Sudan, Compressor, Ramadan, Donkeys aren't exactly the best way, only to be fair the App was free.............I almost got into a fight at the ATM machine today- This guy who i wont reveal his ethnicity, but it rhymes with Dick kept putting pressure on to finish faster..............................

Jews and Basketball,

are an interesting combination. Thanks to reader JN who tipped me off about an article on Yeshiva U basketball in the Wall street Journal. A nicely written article Heaping praise on the Coach and the program. The coach says something interesting "I don't tolerate excuses," Dr. Halpert said. He dropped his voice to a stage whisper. "But the reality is, I got a lot of excuses." - My Opinion is when you play basketball or any sport, religion should not take precedent over the sport ( Im not talking about playing on the Sabbath) Any one who steps on the hardwood is a ball player not a Jewish ball player or African American ball player or even a woman ball player. That's whats great about sports- you share the common bond of being a player during the game and are not defined by you're ethnicity. The coach is saying we have double curriculum and not enough practice time etc, so therefore its harder to win here than somewhere else, sounds like a non tolerated excuse............. When i was coaching in the worst league in America and the Rabbi insisted my players wear yarmulkas while they play- I answered  i don't tell them to  wear shorts and sneakers when they pray or learn.... Sportsmanship is not linked to Religion.......................

"You don't look too bad, here's another."

    as he fired one more shot into his victim .In a story that sensationalized NYC 26 years ago today(12-22-84) Subway Vigilante, Bernhard Goetz when approached by four urban youths demanding five dollars took out his gun and preceded to give them five dollars shooting at all four wounding them all. Goetz who apparently had enough of being a crime victim snapped, he was acquitted on all charges except illegal gun possession.

BooBaJones Finals - The Best Thing,

I can say about our season is  that its F%&* over ( that's a Coach Knight quote after winning the Nit in 1985) . We got completely dominated tonight to a point that it was embarrassing to watch( i did a lot of the watching ). Just seemed right that we should get out hustled, outplayed, out pretty much everything. Dr James Naismith is probably rolling over in his grave knowing what we did to his great game of basketball. We started off aggressive, and took a small lead, then Turnovers brought them back into the game as again we found ourselves not getting back on Defense, Despite this all we were up one at the half. The Second half brought more turn overs, less hustle, 0.0 defense rotation, an endless array of bad shots and  0.0 containment all that pieced together led to disaster and the merciless end to what has been a very sad and tumultuous,season............... Season Recap:- Solly Elmann Summed it up best " What Ill remember most about the season is Munster's Shot hitting the side of the backboard............. I will Give Joe Baghdadi credit for running an efficient league ( some minor rule flaws here and there that can be corrected but aside from the that the league is run in a excellent manner  much like the old center leagues were run as opposed to now.......... I would also like to apologize to My teammates for causing them  any hurt, harm or injustice (especially Munster for publicly berating him although it was justified) Al chet........This will thankfully be the last Entry in the BooBaJones series all Praise due to Allah...............

Censorship is Un- American

, previously i was censoring comments to the blog and on FB cause they were deemed in bad taste or making fun ,from now on I will not delete any comments, I  will delete though the whole posting or post instead i can't censor anyone but i can censor myself. A relative gave me an email of a girl that prefers to be emailed than called; interesting? I spoke to the girl, That i messed up by not calling, and she sounds very sweet, the conversation got dragged out a little longer that expected, but it was flowing beyond the You knows, and Yeahs, I have to say life is so much easier when you get responses, and some enthusiasm from the other end, I am pretty sure she "scouted " me out, I actually hoping she did, win lose or draw will have fun ..............................In a previous Post I was excited by the fact that Menachem Begin may be on the NIS currency, I actually changed my mind and side with his son Likud MK Benny That he is opposed to having him on the currency. Thanks to DM for sending me the article............

Being Half Ashkenaz,

has it's benefit's, for instance i am always on time, but I was late to my dentist appointment today it was by only two minutes but as the saying goes early is on time- on time is late- late is unacceptable...... My Whole visit lasted 24 minutes I'm not sure if that's good ............ I got an email for a speed dating event- it's like legalized double dipping, but I still can't bring myself to going to these things............I messed up royally as far as calling this girl i was supposed to, but i get a reprieve- tonight's my last chance, The reason i was held up on it was cause i checked her up on FB and saw that she was friends with a couple of girls i either was supposed to call or go out with, pretty stupid ................

The Best soldier,

in the best unit in the best army in the world- that would make him the best soldier in the world. Those were the words that were used to describe the modern Day Bar Kochba Emanuel Moreno http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/122213......... According to that logic then -  I  was the worst coach of the worst team in the worst league in the world that would make me the worst basketball coach in the world. My coaching credentials are extraordinary unimpressive an  0-11 record, but i did get to learn a lot of Arabic ........ Whats the rule as far as online stalking if you email a girl and she doesn't email you back, Does it mean the same as if you call a girl and she doesn't call you back; NOT INTERESTED

Congradulations to the,

 Lebanese govt there only about 25 years to late in finding  the Israeli spy equipment .........Some one suggested the NY Giants should be banned from Xmas this year after ruining it for so many people ..............Is it wrong to follow the game on the Internet while you're in shul.....................Does Kwanzaa still exist, I haven't seen one ad for it so far this year.... Thanks to one of my friends I learned that the Israeli Currency will Feature Menachem Begin and Yitzhak Rabin- I hope Begin is on the higher bill..........Whatever happened to Roger "Tings Do Not loook Good"  Tussant the brilliant MTA union head who chose to strike during Christmas week 4 years ago, practically paralyzing retail business in the city during the busiest week..................

The Flotilla birthday,

party was a lot more fun than i thought it would be, Of course i didn't bring up the IHH Flotilla story - I went to my old friends birthday party in Great Neck, NY. The great thing about it was that I didn't understand a word spoken amongst the 25+ guests. Everyone is speaking Turkish,which made it easier for me not to be social and speak to anyone. I was sitting next to my friend O - whom i used to be very close to, but time goes on and she got married had a kid, we remained in touch but not as close,( shes still in my will though)  I didn't stay very long and avoided speaking politics with the guests, it seemed that we both agreed about the current govt, they found it funny that i follow Turkish News. I ate a salad, but still made sure to leave money, cause i felt it was right thing to do, they insisted i didn't i overruled them . It's always great to catch up and usually we say will get together more often but for some reason it never works out, maybe it will.............

That's not a very nice,

thing to do, was what my 7 year old niece was telling me after I was explaining to her about the orders that Menachem Begin Gave to bomb the King David Hotel. How the hell do I explain to her that it was justified, for the record it was......... Anyone holding Bellagio 25k Chips has to go to the Hotel in Las Vegas to validate  them after this weeks hold up at the craps table that netted the robber over 1.5 million in chips........ I  bought the perfect push up and shake weight with the idea that I am going to make an effort to "work out "............... I liken the New Minyan in the shul i pray at to the Tea party - It focuses on prayers; just prayers quick and efficient no classes or speeches, it gives you that option after ( seldom do i stay).......... After about a couple weeks of  getting #s to call, Im down to one ( i lost it ) here are the stats- one date, one call me in a few weeks, one left a message and she  hasn't gotten back to me.........This is probably the best Xmas/ Jews parody http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3gRGMOhslq0

you have to feed off her answers,

I know that already, I was seeking advice as how to make a first call not very awkward -I left a message Though i confused her name when i left the message, she hasn't gotten back to me yet - I was curious as to why  a 47 year old woman  reform from south jersey and a 43 year old secular  woman  from Long Island with kids flirt with me on Jdate. Do you think there looking for relationship?  I don't mind it,I usually answer thank you and keep the conversation going for a little, It's part of my Can't say no campaign...... I finally found an apartment in the Greater brooklyn area the landlord is a Shamie, that seems like a good guy - he was asking what's the matter with me why i wasn't married - i told him cause i wanted to rent out his apt he said he's going to try to hook me up with a broke 25 year old shamie  girl i told him ,  she was too young he said make yourself a couple years younger than tell her - good startegy to start off a realationship on a lie...

BooBaJones Playoff Edition- Pigs will fly,

 Elephants would ride  in the Indy 500 Orson Wells would skip Breakfast, Lunch and  Dinner in the same day  Before NC State would be Houston in the 82 finals The same odds applied to us tonight in our playoff match up against the 9-1 green team. Haim called me up before the game asking me to match him on Freddy Mann yup the same one that clipped us for 30+ last time we played I was adamantly against it he insisted and with Humility I will admit he was right. We opened up in man and quickly found our self stuck 10. There big man who i was matched up against was hitting from all over the floor dominating the boards and putting Barney in foul Trouble. We switched to a match up zone, with slightly better results. I am going to say something nice not about the other team now ( i generally reserve criticism to our team) They played dumb,  instead of putting us away they let us hang around and despite dominating the half they were only up four. We shifted our defense to a box and one with haim playing the one - and forcing Freddy Mann to give up the ball and forcing him to drive to the help - Solly as usual was in the mix of things stepping in front of balls doing the small things - Mike Mann was carrying the offense load and was playing inspired Defense. Through the second half we were down 6- 8 points, Barney made a couple of baskets one of an assist by Munster one of the positive things he did tonight, we got to with in 2 then Mike Mann hit a deep three to put us up one they came back and took the lead- Mike Mann got us up one again - They came down and missed- they fouled after letting 5 seconds go off the clock- we missed they came down and didn't get a shot off as time expired. Notes of the game: Haim, Myself, and Munster probably shot a combined 0 -24 ( that's a real stat) Haim Held Freddy to a single basket - Mike Mann was tremendous on both ends of the floor, Solly did the usual not in the box score stuff , Despite the Foul trouble Barney Was solid on the glass and made a huge presence in the game...We Match up with Yellow in the Finals - they beat us pretty bad last time game ball - Mike Mann

Did i ever tell you, That I

 Bailed out a girl from Prison in Northern Israel a couple years ago....... Traffic was a horror today took me 53 minutes to go from bdwy and 81 to park and 33. Thanks to one of the readers JD  who sent me an a case of Hasidim couple trying to scam a dry cleaners on People's court, As "religious" as this couple was they don't understand how they fuel the fires of anti- semtisim http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6iJtzwMpLMU- (it's a little long )I went to dinner with a girl, I met up with yesterday, it wasn't really eventful and nothing really happened except for a little food i was starving, I dropped her off home and we remain FB friends- We ran into a interesting situation, I'm not sure i handled it well though, But I hope things work out for the guy that was in trouble..............I should have made a couple of awkward calls but got suckered into watching Operation Thunderbolt again im trying to watch it as many times before they take it off the channel...................

Stats are like a Bikini,

They Show a lot but not everything, I went to see the Tourist the other night it was OK, but i feel guilty   a little bit watching these Angelina Jolie Movies( not for dirty reasons) but for the fact that her record on Israel isn't great, I am friendly with a lot of Turks, and I know none of them are political- But I feel like i am backstabbing the Israelis by being friendly with them - I know it's silly, but its my retarded conscience......I went out with a girl who Explained to me that not everything and everyone is bad in every country that is bad to Israel- It made sense and I listened, but not for very long ....... My all time favorite Xmas song isn't really a Xmas song its feed the world - band Aid 20 --------I  have more awkward calls to make, I'm used to them already .................My friend is still pissed at me about the Eggs, maybe another week to get over it..................

Legend has it that he used to write 100,

on his Math tests, to spare the teachers from writing it. They say gambling is meant for 0.005% of the Population. Unfortunately for me i don't fit that category- I have been an Unsuccessful games player, gambler since I started learning the ropes. The first time I went to OTB as a 15 year old kid with some friends we bet the right horse- but in an usually rare occurrence the other horse claimed foul and our horse was disqualified and we lost out on our $20 something pursue- That should have given me an indication to stop gambling......My good friend Abe, who was brilliant in Mathematics probably to a point if he applied his mind could have  been working for NASA or something. He worked his way up from playing $1 - $2 backgammon games in the cold at Washington Sq Park to the tables downtown- through clubs all over the city- Until he became one of the most feared and successful backgammon players in the world- as the Backgammon world was fading, Poker was born and not an overly skilled player at the time, He Studied and honed his skills into one of the worlds best. For the outsiders who will say he never won the world series, or a lot of tournaments, The main reasons to that is that he doesn't spend a lot of time playing in tournaments, but non the less he has a couple of WS bracelets to his name -http://www.pokerjunkie.com/2009-wsop-abe-mosseri-wins-event-55-2500-limit-deuce-to-seven-triple-draw and has been featured in High stakes poker the big game http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KO38W9c3kl8me........   I know Gambling is not for me also by the way cause i am definite the only person to ever lose money betting on Abe....

Excuses, Excuses,

I don't really believe in excuses as far as dating goes I am more of a black and white kind of thinker or to be more clear a 1+1 = 2.  People will make "safe" excuses as to why they don't want to go out with some one again- but in reality attraction and wealth( the attraction more important to men wealth to women) are probably the two main reasons as to see weather to continue...........I told a friend, I couldn't hang out the other night, cause i was going to a party, even though i was really going  out with a girl i was set up. I don't know why I guess I just didn't feel comfortable talking about it- I'm Guessing its a lie............Despite neither Academy being a National Power house I don't think any Rivalry Rivals Army- Navy- a great day for the Armed Forces................

The Church,

will not open this Sunday, but the spirit is as always in tact ..............I had to pick up some checks from a customer today,which is not the easiest thing to do; that is get paid, and every time i pick up the check there is a calculator tape receipt and its filled with red marks that denote a deduction - no matter what happens if my shipment is perfect ill get a deduction, It feels like getting a test back from school with tuns of mistakes, I feel like by the end of the deductions I'm going to owe my customer money, this customer is Israeli by the way but he pays ...................... I had a Syrian customer whose bill was $551, he send me a check for $500- I know it's a game and he beat me -  but he claimed he had deductions i should have sued him for the $51............How does one know that he has no fashion sense? I know because if i look at a rack of suits all unmarked I'm going to like the cheapest one.......

Seemed a little odd,

 That she wouldn't introduce herself, I didn't ask questions though as I was invited in by the parents, stupid me figured they wanted to speak to me, find out who i was- but what I didn't realize was that the girl sitting with her parents was the sister of my date. I answered the basic questions of what shul, I go to what do i do etc....Once the girl i was going out with showed up- (she happened to look very pretty) I figured it out- once i said the ohh part they figured it out that i thought her sister was the one i was going out with. They are very similar in age, look a like and she was dressed nicely also- (This was a blind date). Besides Having a little bit of a hard time pulling out of her drive way, us waiting a long time to get our food,  there was no real awkwardness  I asked for the check pretty quickly but she understood it was only cause it took them a long time to bring the food, I didn't want her to think i was rude and plus i didn't really mind. I dropped her off home said thank you, generally you can feel out weather the girl wants to go out again or not, but in a situation of a set up i leave it up to the people that set me up to tell me, I am not afraid of rejection, I just dont want to make her feel uncomfortable. Win lose or draw  It was most definite a fun night - It's unclear weather there will be church on Sunday

People get busy,

actually extremely Busy at functions. I was at a Bris this morning and I happen to find it obnoxious for people to be playing around with there phones at the ceremony- i see this done a lot at wedding- I guess it's one thing to keep it to yourself - but i loathe the people who walk back and forth, and are extraordinary loud -we get the point, Everyone is impressed - I had a good wing man when i went to the Buffet i was pretty much covered to get as much food ( i didn't) as i want cause the guy with me was really filling up his plate, so for people looking at my plate it wouldn't look so bad..... here is an excerpt of a online conversation with a friend after i commented in front of his wife that he shouldn't be eating a lot of eggsI greg:  jerk KnightIU:  y what did i do now Greg:  "oooh cholestorel in the eggs, Maureen,  look, Greg's  eating cholestorel" KnightIU:  she didnt care u had a plate full of eggs Greg:  you didnt know that when u said it KnightIU:  i said that to u she said she didnt care let him eat what he wantsGreg:  you shouldnt do that KnightIU:  im concerned about you greg:  why KnightIU:  youre a good friend i dont think u should eat a plate full of eggs like an animal greg:  one simple serving, whats the fuc%$  big deal KnightIU:  looked like 7 servings `greg:  thats you and your fu#&ing  warped mind not seeing reality, the same way you cant see reality when it comes to women KnightIU:  im concerned about youre health and youre cursing me out Igreg:  why are u concerned about my health KnightIU:  as a friend greg:  oh ok

I couldn't help,

noticing that flags were still flying at half staff today, I would assume its because of Pearl Harbor and not the anniversary of The assassination of John Lennon, who was a symbol of a generation but definite not a great American ....... One Movie that I keep watching over again is Operation Thunderbolt( channel 291 on cable vision Jewish channel on demand, it has good movies but a lot of the documentaries are very left) It's the story about the Israeli raid at Entebbe. It's perhaps one of the greatest rescue operations ever. How times have changed. Now the Israelis are paying compensation to victims of the Mavi Marmara flotilla...........................Do I call a girl whose friendly with a girl i called the other day? I'm not sure how friendly,with the minimum Fb Friendly..... I bought two shirts a couple weeks ago both same company both same size one is very tight on me and the other one is loose.......

BooBaJones #10 Gauranteed and delivered,

Munster who boldly predicted we will be in the playoffs has made good on his promise. The team we were supposed to play tonight  has forfeited the game. Like the saying goes a win is a win............. The seeding will come out later tonight, when it does I'll post the playoff preview Entry..............

Booked up for the next,

couple of weeks is what she told me through our ruffled AT+T connection. After a very long 7 minute and 17 second conversation, which bombed , a lot of one word answers, long pauses( probably id say about a minute and half out of 7 ) I resorted to asking "medicated Pete" questions ( what are you're interests etc..) - We closed the conversation with "why don't i give you a call over next couple weeks and see whats up" - In realty this was a set up that was like the six degree of separation( I'm not even sure I'm saying that right) went like this,my sister knew someone that was friendly with her cousin friends,i don't know and onwards. I know everyone means well as for me I don't mind, but truth is i think most girls do mind if there is no immediate connection- she lost her voice also so that didn't help in the conversation........ BoobaJones Breaking News MUNSTER: WE WILL BE IN THE PLAYOFFS - the only way we get in is with a Win so that's a bold prediction especially since the team we play beat us already

I didn't think it was,

appropriate to throw a note in at the Ohel for the Jets to beat the Pats last night- But I have a list of people that I pray for, (The Jets are not on the list) whenever i go to somewhere Holy. The Ohel is the grave site of the Lubabvitch Rebbe, I went with a friend of mine last night- she is a lot more spiritual and religious than I am, so i am pretty sure she was more fulfilled than me I've mentioned my Opinion on prayers before........ Is This Bad of me I was hoping that my friends wife would give birth to a baby girl rather than a boy so I wouldn't have to go to the Bris? The gift would be the same - It was a boy- Bris is Thursday.....................I think I am a little paranoid regarding Tips, Especially at stores or at the car wash- I see a box that has a Tips written on it - But i always ask where to put the tip, not cause I'm a showoff but because i want the people to know that i am not stiffing them...... Former Shas party Head Areyhe Deri had a brilliant idea - Make the Hareedem firefighters ........ Happy 54th to Larry Bird, It's crazy how the kids today think that Nowitzki was a better player than Bird.....................

A Day that will in Infamy,

 Its been 69  years since The attack on Pearl harbor had Whoopie Goldberg and Joy Behar been around during the attack - this is what they would say -we  would like to make it clear that on Dec 7 1941 we were Not attacked by the Japanese, Just some Extremest elements of peoples residing in Japan that hijacked the true ideology of all of Japan - FDR was wrong in declaring war on the Empire of Japan.......

Clearly my Parents,

didn't intend on moving to the US  is how i Usually i explain My Name Especially to girls when I first introduce myself.  It can get especially Awkward when I am given a girls Number and have to call her I don't how to refer to myself Gidi or Gideon - The only good part about that is it helps breaks the ice a little, But I generally ask is The person that sets me How they Introduce me.........I do have to make a couple of calls this week , I am somewhat superstitious before i call a girl for the first time - I wait for the clock to show a time that has some good historical significance for instance for it to be on the 17th minute (1917 Balfour declaration) or 48th (1948 State is born), Then I always make sure it's OK with the girl (only on one occasion the girl had no clue i was calling- I apologized and hung up ) I always try to make sure I am prepared with questions and follow up questions, and also know not to exceed 15 minutes before asking her out even if conversation is going well. What's up for this week is unclear yet...........

Just say No,

         That's been a problem for me lately- basically the last 10 years or so maybe - I hate committing to something and not being able to do it- I hate double parking also, There are a couple of things which i can't mention that i didn't say no to, and have no way out cause i don't want to disappoint people (ill mention what i have to do in a later post).......... My Brothers weight Fluctuation is like the clothing stock market for me - Mainly for shirts and sometimes sweaters a point of mention if you see me and my sleeves are rolled up it's probably one of my brothers shirts ( The sleeves would be too short for me ).........A lesson on why you shouldn't snoop I was at a  friends store and saw a Stock news letter that i Wasn't supposed to look at it - I decided to buy a stock off the recommended list 500 shares at $6 per -The whole investment is worth $6.00 -You do the math...............

Spelling and grammer,

I would say are my Waterloo. The English is a second Language Excuse lost it's statute of limitations in 1988. I would like to apologize to i think what is now 7 or 8 readers and  that I will be more diligent in proof reading myself. The Original in the title of the Blog is misspelled and it was not on purpose........ I knew that there would be people blaming the fires on some spiritual excuse Maran Harav Ovadia Yosef , who is no stranger to controversy Blamed the Fires on Sabbath Violators http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3994225,00.html- I don't like posting links but many choose not to believe. After the Lebanon War of 2006 He was quoted as saying the reason soldiers die in wars, is because they dont observe Mitzvot http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3442321,00.html- The Family of  Roee Klien (an observant soldier who  jumped on a grenade screaming out Shema Ysrael  to save his comrades) were devastated .............

compatibility is probably

the biggest BS word used as to why relationships don't get a chance to form. I know this because That Excuse has been used on me, and in turn i learned to use it as well. After a first date they would ask "why wouldn't you go out with her again" - and the general answer is I don't think we were compatible- I definite think its a cop out answer but also is considerate of the other persons feeling. What the hell does compatibility mean anyways, and how do you know?  I think dates can go great, but with out psychical attraction the compatibility excuse comes in handy.............On My last night in Israel last week I was " set up " with this girl who was Russian but was now living in Israel- I am extremely open minded i didn't think anything will come of it but what the hell is my attitude- We sat in the hotel lounge( in what seemed like a Hareedy date) I thought she was ultra orthodox and she thought i was, and were joined by my brother who seemed to take a keen interest in the situation( i think i figured it out later on as to why) My sister in law was also there as well- We joked they were the supervisors, We exchanged Phone numbers i left her my FB and Email - gave her an air handshake as a joke - Then left to the airport, I actually think I'd call her but i forgot her name.....................................

The Catastrophe

in the Karmel Region in Northern Israel has left a void in the hearts of all Am Ysrael this Hanukkah. Isn't Ironic That we celebrate the Maccabees victory over the Greeks- and now the Greeks and as well as a good portion of the International  community are coming  to the aid of Israel, The Images are horrific and we continue to Pray.............. For me not eating at least one  jelly Doughnut on Hanukkah is like not eating Macaroons on Passover, I'm Not sure who created the custom  of the Jelly Doughnut  As for the Macaroons  I know when I was a kid there wasn't a whole lot of Kosher for Passover candy- so Macaroons became a staple in the house....................Stat of the day - I am the all time leader in carrying the Sefar Torah per Appearance in Shul............. This year I decided to pass on Gift cards for Presents and decided to go with Cash instead for my Nephews and Nieces.

The Tzdekah boxes in,

 Certain shuls are not very change friendly it's 2 boxes with a lock in each one of them That makes it impossible to ask for change,I wonder sometimes how much money they lose by not having change.
...............My Uncle In Israel is a cop, a while ago he was called to solve a domestic dispute between a couple. The Problem was Sex, He wanted it at least once a day and she was hesitant on once a week- after speaking to each of them individually, he got them together and after a couple of hours of  " negotiations"- He got them to sign an accord -That they would have sex twice a week and once she has to do it orally- His compromise was written up in Israel's daily News paper - titled the cop who brought peace to the home (Shalom Bayet)..............I haven't bet Sports in almost over a year and I completely forgot i have a balance with the Bookie - I hope they didn't charge me any Extra Juice, My Figure is $261 they promised to call to make arrangements to pick up- I confirmed they don't break thumbs for such a little amount............

Please Pray for the ,

Victims of the The Carmel Fires Near Haifa, There are reported 40 Prison Guards on there way to evacuate the prison  Whose Bus Caught fire that have died, I am praying and hoping that they get this Fire under control and for all the Victims..... I hope That people don't start blaming this Tragedy on sinners and all that stuff -This is a great tragedy for all of AM Ysrael ...............

BoobaJones #9 - I wish I knew,

Why we don't get back on defense ? was a direct question asked by Dave as he walked out of the gym after a disappointing 66- 62 loss. I think its a lack of character, its a lack of pride, nothing to do with skill Just simply That we don't care and it showed. After practically watching there lay up line fest and being stuck 16 in the first half, we slowly managed to chip back into was seemed like an insurmountable lead. Mike Mann got hot, even though he still didn't get back on D and carried the offensive load in the second half, Dave did a much better job containing, and Thanks to the hustle of Solly "not in the box score" Elman we cut the lead to two and had the ball with under 20 seconds Mike forced a three, rebound got kicked out to Dave his three clanked off the front rim and with that possibly our playoffs hopes  as we are in a must win situation next week to get in.. Isn't amazing how everyone can curse and scream on every play and when u say a word at the free throw line people go nuts.... Advice- There is no Replay in Basketball once a Referee makes a call- There is no point for the prolonged arguing YOU ARE NOT GOING TO CHANGE THE CALL - just say something positive to the official like " it's OK you missed it, you'll get right next time "

You are only cheating,

Yourself when you weigh yourself at a GNC scale and make you're self a few inches taller to match you're supposed weight. I tend to keep a note pad by my bed at night in case some crazy ideas come to me while I'm sleeping, Ironically i can't find that pad- but here is one idea  that I remembered. The already dirty shirt- The premise is to get a shirt that's already designed with stains that way when you actually do get it dirty, you wouldn't feel bad cause its already "dirty"- seemed like a good idea until several people in the garment industry told me that I'm an Idiot, ........ Congratulations to Turkish Prime Minister Tayep Erdogan on winning the "Mohmmar Ghaddafy" Human rights award ............. Today Marks the 55th anniversary Rosa Parks refusing to give up her seat- as I mentioned in a previous post the real heroine was  Claudette Colvin who refused to get up from her seat a few months earlier, but she didn't fit to be the face of the revolution.....To Jews all around the World Happy Hanukkah

My ears haven't,

popped yet since my flight  i was supposed to see a customer around 730 but fell asleep- I woke up 1t 1230 thinking that Shimon Heres oops i meant Peres was in critical condition- I checked all news outlets and realized it was a dream..... I'll never get the excitement of the lightning of the Xmas Tree, People must know something that I don't as a Jew If someone was lighting a giant Menorah I would avoid the area like a plague  "What is there to see" - But again all those people can't be crazy so it must be me.........It's always funny for me to see at road repairs sites four guys directing, and drinking coffee and One guy drilling, generally it's the black guy...........

Today in History

 63 years ago The United Nations voted to partition Palestine. The vote went  33 yeas 13 nos 10 abstentions- immediately The region plunged into war Arab league chairman Mr  Pasha  was quoted - "This will be a war of extermination and a momentous massacre which will be spoken of like the Mongolian massacres- Despite insurmountable odds, in a modern day miracle The Israelis prevailed. Thanks to Aryeh The tour guide i also learned that on this date  the Dead Sea Scrolls were found, and the oldest Torah in Aleppo Syria was Burned some 200 pages of were preserved......... It's been 12 days since i quit Red Bull, I'm still unclear if I need it or not

I am a Believer, Son

Of Believers was my response to her question as to how do you know G-d is on You're side. She looked at me with the HuH look and said this is probably never going to work out. On Jdate Most of the girls are from a reform or secular background, but the truth is the only that matters is the photo- and plus you never know also- but this girl was barely Jewish,but she was pretty cute  who thought i was from the Moon when i told her i put on Tefilin,She thought i was this religious kook, mainly from my response and also cause i support the Christian coalition ( mainly cause of there dedication to Israel). It Ended with us parting ways amicable........ I decided to remove my profile this week, I have removed it before but somehow always get suckered back in. Here are a little more excerpts- What I learned from previous relationships- I embellished it a little........No Double Dipping, Turkish, Not to wear white Socks with dress pants,don't ask for the check before u finishing eating, the Yemintes drained the swamps in the Galile, the difference between to and too......What I am Looking for: A girl that can have fun staying in or have fun going out someone who is comfortable in a black dress or jeans and if she can help me buy clothes that be great too for real though a good hearted and good natured girl if she can spell that be great also.......

except for kids kicking,

the back of my seat every so often, the flight home was decent  I sat next to a Syrian couple and there kids sat behind us - They looked familiar, except for some small talk (can you please pass up my tray, or excuse me can i get out ) we didn't bond. I raced to customs , only to find a huge line waiting for me ,so i politely went to the back of the line,at one end of the hall- I didn't realize that soon after they let people from the other side blend in to the line that was being formed in the middle so basically all the Syrian families, and the Amish group  that  i was way ahead of, now were way ahead of me- only to be fair i was cussing them and accusing them of cutting, but they didn't, so an apology is due..... It Took me 61 minutes and 37 seconds to clear customs , I didn't have to wait for luggage thanks to my brother and sister in law who put it with theirs on first class.......My Ears haven't popped yet and apparently there was lice on the plane - I went to get it checked out for about a 5 minute check up and a 99 cent brush it cost me $50 I didn't mind cause i didn't have to be sent to the "Refuge City".......

If Essa Comes and,

Smites one of the camps, Then the remaining one will be able to flee.When I Pack I utilize that strategy for my suitcases I usually put half my clothes in each suit case in case one gets damaged or lost. The Luggage theme continues is it a myth that when you check you're bags first you're luggage comes out last- I was ordering food with a couple of friends at a restaurant i ordered first, guess whose food came last....... It's Been Two Years since the Mumbai Terror Attacks,and the Murders at the Chabad House- YZ''B................The Old people term for luggage is Valise...........

Is it rude,

when in a cab or Bus to speak loudly on the cellphone? Or is it rude when you're in a middle of a job like professional photographer or Tour Guide to take calls on the cell?- My Nephews Bar Mitzvah was today, we took a bus to the old city but one of the main roads was closed so we had to drive around the Old city gates- My father had a Major cow, he is a nervous guy in general so he was extra nervous. It was great to see a lot of relatives and friends- When you go to another country everyone wants to see you but they insist you go to them, rather than them make the effort to see you - so generally i see very few people- I understand people are busy, But when anyone comes to the US I almost make it a point to be as accommodating and helpful as possible-Thanks to the shout out from Danmiz.com for the blog promotion-

Getting Ripped Off Sucks,

Getting ripped off and knowing youre getting ripped off sucks even more. I was Walking through the Jaffa Gate (Bab El  Khalil) and i wanted to buy a map- i got stuck at someone's shop who pretty much hijacked me with out letting me leave with out buying something else - my mistake was i took out the money already so i was stuck - I started Using my Arab profanity they didnt mind I picked up an empty  shopping bag that costs 2 cents and wind up paying roughly $28 for a Map a brochure and 2 cent bag - I know Israeli  cab drivers are very sneaky- They Jack up there rides about 20% which is acceptable in the getting ripped off world. I met my cousins in a restaurant in Tel Aviv--Then in the same restaurant i met a friend of mine who brought her friend it was planned  to meet them both but not at the same place - The girls were real nice- one is a friend who i met last year the other her friend maybe there would be an intrest- There was- but probably wont get beyond FB

UNESCO want's to take out

 Rachel's Tomb, and The Cave of The Patriarchs off the list of Jewish Heritage Sites Deeming them in "Occupied" Lands, They are more notably Refereed to as "Liberated "- I went to Breakfast yesterday morning at my Luxurious and generously labeled 3 star hotel -I ran into a Greek Professional Basketball Team, I didn't recognize anyone they had two American players, one played at Fordham the other was PJ Tucker who played at Texas and was all Big12 he played professionally in the NBA And Israel as well.......... We Went to Rachel's Tomb and Hebron - Both highly spiritual places - Rachel's Tomb  Seemed like it was in a Fortress behind a large chunk of the Security wall - I got the "Red" Bracelet's i don't really believe so much in them but again they can't hurt - At Hebron we didn't get to walk around the city as much as I would have liked to- We were on a time Schedule- But non the less both the Biblical and modern History of the city is amazing....... I walked though the Jaffa and Damascus gates i was thinking of going to temple Mount- but i know were not allowed to.................Israel 2010- Hareedem have segregated buses   Women sit in the back, who will be the Hareedy version of  "Claudette Colvin" ? ( she was the original black girl that stood up and wouldn't move to the back ahead of Rosa Parks)of the Hareedy women

Anybody here,

Seen my old friend John. 47 years ago today President Kennedy Was Assassinated. I sat in a Cafe  the other day at the Mamila took me about 10 minutes until someone brought me a menu another 10 to take my order - another 10 to bring my order about 5 minutes to eat it and after waiting an additional 10 minutes to get the check which was never brought to me i went to the counter to pay -I still left a 20% tip. We Went to Masada today and hearing the story of the Bar Kochba revolt never gets old.....We Went to the Dead sea on the same trip - on the road to the Dead Sea I was thinking of the Naomi Shemer's Jerusalem of Gold- where the part goes And We will again travel to the Dead Sea though the Jericho Road.....I was yelled at by a woman at the Internet Cafe, cause i didn't shut the door when I peed - I closed it but i guess it swung open - Didn't seem right especially since anyone can just pee anywhere in the street and no one would say any thing...Stat of the day Omeri Casspi and Jordan Farmar are the only Jews in the NBA there teams played each other twice- both games were On Friday Night...............

Going to a Beitar

Jerusalem soccer game, gives you a green light to use as much profanity as possible, and lets you get it out of you're system. I went to a game for the first time in 30 years, the atmosphere is insane, the fans are constantly singing, cursing, yelling at the game the players, the refs,and each other and it doesn't matter that there are little kids at the game, This is Israel after all Beitar was down 0-2 but came back to win 3-2. A good thing about the game the players  acknowledge the crowd, and are appreciative, unlike the spoiled over payed athletes That we have. One word to describe Kabalat Shabbat at The Kotel  Special. It's amazing how much partying goes on in Israel, especially in Jerusalem, every Bar, and club is packed, I went to Israel for a year after High school I thought i was on Vacation - now this is more like Paradise for these kids. I was in a communal cab back from Tel Aviv That carries 10 people it was me,3 Ethiopians, 2 Dutch, 2 Russian, 1 French, and an Israeli.......................

Breakfast in,

Israel is the biggest meal of the day. I am not certain how many times my father has asked me if I had breakfast, what does my hotel serve for breakfast, did i go in to the breakfast, I think because the Breakfast is Free it's a sign that you really have to go crazy. I am not a Breakfast person and Plus my Hotel has this Buffet that doesn't look to clean - so I skip the free breakfast - which seems to bother my Father- I shouldve lied to him and told him i eat the breakfast, instead of getting irritated at first, but now we have meaningful conversations about ; you guessed it breakfast. I went to Tel Aviv last night- Its amazing how difficult it is to find a kosher Cafe there- The old rule was "any thing that has Hebrew writing is kosher "- but not in Israel - I passed by a Strip club, I didn't walk in just took a photo from the outside - It's very refreshing to at least see that  they have a Mezuza at the door - the photo drew a lot of Face book comments

BooBa Jones week #8 Was a Big,

Win for us as every thing seemed to run like well oiled machine, I wasn't there, i dont think the team repsondes to negativty and scrutiny which i think sadly to say is my main contribution to the team here are some excerpts from the game: Munster-solid solid solid solid solid win last night everyone, so happy how we all SHOWED UP.even haim miz with this tennis bag .i really think it was the absence of gidy that made us play well, no negativity on both ends, gidy enjoy the israeli hookers.game ball- sam faks. whatever sammy did in china, whatever he ate or shnabbed worked i think.beastly effort, and great pass to me i just couldn't finish as usual (but i was fouled! ref said)i am 99% sure we are off next week and i do think we will clinch a playoff seed with one more win again solid effort....SOLLY-Barney was a beast + Mike good job distributing the ball we are a differnt team when everyone is involved. Dave great job running the team in Gidys absence Munster good job finally hitting layups + good job cutting to the basket.Haim good job penetrating to the basket. As for myself didn't do much but I gave some nice cheapshots to piss them off lol. Mike:Very happy with that win we needed it let's just keep it up still holes on defense I feel we just gata be a little more aggressive.
We controlled the game last night that was the biggest key of night we let the game come to us. There was a little stretch were we got careless and let them back in cutting the lead to 2 but overall we played great and controlled I still feel we have much more potential then how we played last night but its all good we won when our backs were against the wall keep it up boys let's make our playoff run now.Game ball sam faks Haim- Queensbridge Queensbridge --- Im proud of the team

Day One,

of my trip has been somewhat eventful ill keep it short.. I went to Mount Olives to Menachem Begin's Tomb - After 45 minutes of searching For Begin- I found Hussain the ground crew guy instead and then he took me to his Plot, Mt Olives is a huge old cemetery it's nearly impossible walk cause there are so many plots. I then went  to visit my Grandparents at the Mount Menoochot cemetery- I got invited to my Aunts house for  lunch  where i met some more relatives, they are Hareedy or ultra orthodox- they have a Halacha Yomi posted in the elevators there for everyday i wonder if they have one for shabbat- cause it is a shabbat elevator. I happen to pass by the Gilad shalit (abducted soldier in captivity over 4 years) tent so i read some Psalms there- I think sometimes my life is ruled by the bathroom- cause i had to cancel going to Tel Aviv to go back to my hotel to make maybe ill go later..................if i ever figure how to post pictures to the posts ill do it

Greetings from,

The Indivisible and eternal capital of the Jewish people - I reached Israel roughly 600 tonight - after a long, grueling and painful flight. The Flight was packed, the seats are tight, the ambiance is smelly, but thankfully they crank up the air- better be cold than smelly. I usually pray to sit next to a hot girl when i fly, but the results are usually the same and  I'm resigned and the fact that my prayers wont be answered - i did make a deal with G-d That he can punish me in another way if I didn't get to sit next to someone fat and smelly - The lord is my Shepard and he decided to give me a stomach ache instead not the one where i have to go, but the one with sharp pains I couldn't sleep and was cranky the whole flight i did pass some gas to try to relieve the pain- didn't work - When I land in Israel I DO NOT think that I am home, cause all though Israel is the Jewish State its' not my home I didn't contribute nothing to the country, so just cause i am a Jew I don't believe its my home and never will. My main activity tonight was reading Psalms at the wall and putting in some notes for friends- I really hope things work out for them and for all those who need prayers....Please pardon the spelling and grammar i don't know how to activate the spell check here........

My Prayers are like,

Vitamins there not going to help you, but they aren't going to hurt you as well. That's what I tell people that ask me to pray for them at Holy sites. One would think the Holiest people of any religion would be the Richest, but in some twisted fate its the opposite.....And while still on Religion how come anyone who always brings G-ds name into Business turns out to be the biggest crook- i know from dealing with some Arabs anytime the "Wallahi Ul Azzim" (swear to g-d) came up i knew to avoid the deal and the Hasidim when they start telling you stuff like " has ve Shalom"(heavens forbid) and "Chasedie Hashem"   (g-d's graces) you know to avoid them like the plague---As i mentioned before I'm flying tonight, and i know the first sign of turbulence I'm sticking to the Hasidim no matter how stinky they are

Ive Been Driving In the city,

While you were still Eating French Fries in Honduras, I responded to a driver who pulled up beside me and asked me if i had ever driven in the city before, She then replied learn how to drive - I answered can you please teach me, I don't know why i thought she was from Honduras She looked more Pakistani- but that the first thing that came to mind.....I was driving up town to meet a date, Since I'm Flying tomorrow, i am somewhat superstitious about making sins so we went to a kosher restaurant on the UPW- another reason i hate the kosher restaurants is, cause they squeeze so many freaking tables into the place we got to sit right by the "coatroom, storage miscellaneous" room - and every time the door opened there was a cleaning supply smell not a good one -at least they didn't put the tip on the bill before hand - we ate fast, went for a drink, Just talked mainly about nonsense and stuff , the conversation stalled for a bit luckily she had interesting neighbors to talk about- I don't think there will be church on Sunday - but it was a fun night.................

No News is good News,

So I thought, last week I sent my aunt a package of  "Chachkiss" -that's odds and ends and stuff, she insisted on giving me the business for these items, So firstly let me Thank her for the Business. I didn't hear anything from her or my cousin and I assumed that everything went smooth i even tracked the package and it showed it was left on the front door- End of story right Wrong almost 10 days later i get a call from my Aunt she lives overseas i wont reveal where but her country rhymes with "Frizzwheel"- Did i ever send the stuff- i told her it was left on the front door, I called her son my cousin and told them- I get the big ohhhhhhh they left it by the next house and i specifically Upsed the package so i wont have to take-  End the post by asking guess who has to take the package... .. Are the Free lollipops they give out at TD Bank Kosher? I would say No cause there is always a lot of them left in the dispensers, I cant say the same for the Pens, No Matter how many pens i have I still feel compelled to take Pens everytime I leave the Bank..........

what do you do,

when one of your'e best friends tells youre girlfriend to suck his D%$#............ Like any other friendship, guys bust each others balls pretty much about everything with out trying to cross the line. Driving in Brooklyn with a girl i was dating at the time, I was on the speaker  phone with my friend, He was Name dropping a place that he has been to, and kept going on with it - to protect the name of the place will call it the Feerb Club. So he was basically saying i was The Feerb club, all the cool people are at the Feerb club, not everyone can get into the Feerb club, and on and on that he was at the Feerb club. To be fair i was riding him about the Feerb club, unknown to him that my girlfriend was with me i said to him "Shonda" wants to know about the Feerb club, so he replied "tell Shonda to Suck my D%S#"- I froze for a second, She just said hang up the phone on him NOW, he heard and was apologetic right away, I had to tell him thats disgusting how can he say something like that and hung up on him. I knew that ovioulsy he didnt mean it that way and tried explaining to her, he wasnt like that. She was livid that i was defending him, and i got a lot of the shrap nail - . What to do in this situation? He send  her flowers, called her to apolgize i tried to smooth things out also, She wouldn't hear anything of it- a few months later he had a happy occasion which we attended, she actually made me stay till the end. She ultimately forgave but deffinette didnt forget- Just for the record Shonda is White

Collecting Cans for.

a living is a grueling and humbling way to make Money, But I do have a lot of admiration for people that do that. I was walking out of my house and saw someone rummaging through the pales looking for cans, I tried giving her a couple of singles, but she adamantly refused it - I admired her pride for not wanting to take a hand out -There is a big debate In Israel regarding Govt Stipends for learning Torah- I am vociferously  against this as the program Because  A) Unfair to those who serve and then go on to University they get nothing  B) The Program is infiltrated by a good majority who just take advantage of the system and aren't qualified to Learn  C) Even if you do study there is no reason for you not to go to work- Plenty of people incorporate Work or Military Service with Learning D) They Hijack the Torah - There is a lot of resentment towards the "Hareedem " and even more so the Govt..........A good point was made to me as why its not lying  "when airport security asks you did someone give you something to take for them,and you answer them No when the really do give you something. The argument is there giving it you to keep so once they give it to you it belongs to you, trusting you to give it to the intended party, Very much like selling the Chametz, Special thanks to Norm Rubin....

Fridays mark,

The "Jamma" Prayers for Mooslims around the world. So it was on One Friday That I decided to check out the Mosque for myself to see what's up, I had a Mooslim working for me and he invited me to come along- We went to a Mosque on Broadway and 28th or 29th  I think- This Mosque was mainly composed of a African Migrants, and Pakistanis who have either perfume or clothing shops in the area. I went downstairs and the place Stunk - I complain about haseedems taking off there shoes when there  flying to Israel, There is no escaping that stench - But the smell of rotten cheese, combined with foul body odor, lack of air conditioning, probably gas, is beyond any person can handle- Now Islam claims to be against Homosexuals- but when u think about it nothing in the world can be gayer than bending over in front of another dude who smells like ass over and over again - How is that Normal- I didn't Stay for the Actual prayers or the Imam's Speech - For me The "Jamma" Experience was over................

Munster, Marsha, Margo, and The Daily News,

How are all these linked to the same night. I met a girl called Marsha who i hung out with once before, she wanted to go out on a Saturday to some club, She said bring a Friend, cause she had one coming also- Perfect the first person I called was Busy, he Didn't finish reading the DAILY NEWS, Since I don't have many options i called MUNSTER and passed him off as my 26 year old cousin - We Get to Marsha's Apartment, we get swarmed by her two Cats- Munster with out any shame rummages through her stuff, goes through the fridge, on her computer, puts his feet up, and calls her Marsha(not her real name - she hates him, I'm laughing. Her friend shows up soon after and holy smoke shes Insanely Beautiful looked like shorter version of super model her boobs popping out- she looks at me and Munster and says I'm not going out with these guys - She was B%#itchy and was certainly entitled to be that way- She also stole Munsters Magazine- by literally ripping it out of his hand- The Girl that I was with was hammered , i didn't take advantage i dropped her off home, Munster after stealing some girls cigarette got her number but never followed through, Margo disappeared never to be heard from again and The original guy that was supposed to hang out did finish reading the Daily news- the only success of the night

Before the age of,

Facebook, back in the mid 90s when there was just AOL chat rooms i met up virtually with what appeared to be a pretty girl, back then everyone was trying to hook up it was a new craze trying to meet girls on line and chat rooms was one of the ways- She send me a photo, i send one back and we scheduled to meet at some club downtown. Now Unbeknowest to me, I walked into the club and was feeling good, I paid the $20 cover charge and WHOAAAAA..... I couldn't speak, I walked around white as a ghost Numb, In retrospect it wasn't as bad as it seems but it was a club specifically for Obese Woman, I'm not talking about chubby or full figured it was Very no Extraordinarily full figured, It was me at the club and a few Black guys - I went to the bathroom washed my face and booked the hell out of there. I do admit it was a mean spirited thing to do, I simply Panicked and also from her photo she didn't seem to be Obese. I did make an effort to "reschedule" but for some odd reason it never worked out.....

Father Flanagan would,

 be Smiling and looking down on one of my friends who was attempting to save the strippers from this horrible profession. On our first trip ever to a Gentleman's club - I think we  were twenty or twenty one We decided to go to club that at the time was called "Paradise"-. A quick background and Ill only Speak about myself as i am not authorized to represent my friends - I never got any play as a kid zero point zero so seeing  hot Naked woman for the first time live was something of a revelation, it seemed that way for some of my friends also but I'm not sure what they got before.We were all over the girls,giving them all our money and evaluating there hearts and minds and also body's - everyone except for one of my friends he was giving the girls money but was counseling them, as if he was going to save them- telling them to get a profession or go to college, do something respectful, from the looks on there faces they were saying  "A$$- %ole just keep giving us you're money" - To this day i don't know if he saved any of them, who knows maybe............When i was in High school once in a while I used to go "Clubbing" with a couple of friends, we used to have to schmear the security to get it, and as we got in we would separate cause there would be better chances for us to hook up with girls if we weren't together- seems like a good argument- I never got any girls, I used to try back then with stupid picking up lines- We would run into each other, and every time i would see them they'd be bragging that they just hooked up with this girl and got this girls number, I believed them the first few times- till I asked myself where the hell are all these girls there supposedly getting- truth is they were just as big of losers as i was they got Nothing also, I was just a dummy for believing them

It's been about,

a month since I started this blog - and i would like to welcome my 4 readers and potentially two more coming a board.....I am pretty sure i got a Red light ticket yesterday- On Coney Island i saw the flash come up- I used to write the F curse all over the ticket and envelope when i sent out payment,but now i just "dirty up the check and ticket " so the poor bastard that has to process my envelope would be grossed out "- I got the idea from an Old Stern show listener who when he had to send his Ex wife alimony checks he used to either wipe himself with check or spit or do other stuff to it - she took him to court on that - she lost cause as long as the bank took the check there was nothing she can do about it.... Next week I am going to Israel for about 8 days- Is it considered Lieing when Security asks you "did someone give you something to take for them" and you answer no when you actually do take something for someone? or is it like telling someone they look good when they really don't maybe ill consult the local Rabbi.

Blind dates, and set ups.

can be very tricky, The reason is if things don't go to well, everyone wants to have an excuse to bail. I Personally don't use them - a)because i have a super guilty conscience  b) I think as immature as I am, I'm not immature that way c) why hurt someones feelings cause there not attractive to you------ One incident that happened to me was I was picking up this girl that i had been set up with it, things didn't seem right from our phone conversation and also the fact that she insisted on meeting somewhere on the corner and didn't want me to pick her up from her house seemed odd- I picked her up and usually on blind dates I like to give the option weather to go locally or in the city- We settled on Bay Ridge- under 50  minutes later i had her back on the same corner that i picked her up- i beat the Israelis when they invaded and left  Entebbe by a few minutes. She had to say "good-bye to her friend who was moving to Florida"  that night -I made certain that she would get there with plenty time to spare..................... Another incident was I was out with a girl i have to say she had killer legs, and killer legs,I met her online and we went out to a lounge things seemed cool it was around 1200 midnight as i was dropping her off home- she blurted out to me "you can't come up, my brother needs to pick up an air conditioner from me"- my thought was at midnight really. I still see her online occasionally we  exchange greetings, i didn't want church on Sunday to be honest my mind was on other things that night......................

Here is an excerpt,

  from a Bar Mitzvah Speech i was writing for my nephew, It's not going to be used -              

 Family, friends, Distinguished Guests Thank you all for coming to celebrate my bar mitzvah with me. Having my Bar mitzvah in Israel wasn't my first choice,But Damascus wasn't a viable option and The Chilean Miners also weren't available at the time.The only person happier than me at this time is my father as he is very excited to get rid of all my sins that i have been making on his behalf, he will no doubt say the blessing of baruch she peatrano me onsho shel ze..with great enthusiasm. In Jewish Tradition Becoming Bar mitzvah symbolizes me becoming of a man, what i heard was that according to Jewish law i can now download porn legally.In all seriousness nothing gives me greater pleasure in being able to have my Bar mitzvah in the Indivisible and eternal Capital of the Jewish People "eretz tzion Yerushaylim. After visiting the Holinesses of our places Cave of the patriarchs, Rachel's Tomb,The Kotel and Menachem Begins tomb, It gives me the actual feeling that i am a small link on a long chain That starts with our forefathers Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Kings David and Solomon, Ezra and Nehimia, Shevi Zion, Bar Kochba, Rav Goren, Mota Gur and the paratroopers who liberated Jerusalem, and anyone that comes to Jerusalem as being part of the Bible . A small pasook in The Tanach

BoobaJones #7 If we played basketball in,

 Biblical times we would have all been stoned or hung for our effort in tonight's game. Losing sucks, losing to a bad team that trash talks is horrific. We opened the game with four again, solly came in- they matched up in an aggressive 3 -2 zone against us- with no one running the baseline and my personal inability to play the high post well - we settled for heaving up threes and in turn they ran on us we of course showed no pride in getting back and we paid heavily for it. Defensively we didn't contain not when we zoned them up or in the man defense, personally i was atrocious on Defense missing assignments on stepping up and getting beat for easy shots from my man. Munster who had a great opportunity's tonight couldn't score in a whore house with a fistful of fifties, Dave was careless with the ball, but as our primary ball handler didn't get a lot of good looks- Haim went to the basket hard and finished 0-10 from the line that's not a misprint, solly provided us with some big plays that let us creep in but was lost on Offense- not really his fault. Overall if there was a Basketball Tribunal we would all get the death penalty for a miserable and embarrassing performance

Its amazing how busy.

The Tow Pound can be on a cold rainy November night. I did not plan on spending the remainder of my night at  the pound on 38th street and the river but sometimes things happen. It was a first date, and i was trying to make a decent impression i even wore a new sweater. I cheated through Face book and knew what she looked like, I'm sure she did the same. The night flowed, i wouldn't say there was chemistry, but she was into nonsense and nonsense is my specialty, It was pouring outside so i told her wait inside and ill get the car. I ran a block down to get the car, and NO car. There wasn't a car on the block- Soaking wet i come in and tell her i may have some bad news-There is no car. She looked at me confused what do you mean. I said either we got towed or the car got stolen. Hmmmmm After a few minutes I got through to 311 - The car is in the pound. The Million dollar question what to do? I was calm, didn't curse once, I said to her Options can sometimes be a good thing - you can either come with me to the pound or i can send you home in a cab. I wasn't aware till the next day there was a third option- I went outside to hail her a cab, i had to walk to the corner, cause they closed off the street, shes still inside unaware that no cars can come down- I felt like a Black Man trying to get a cab. cause no cabbie wanted to go to Brooklyn on a rainy night- I went back inside and said to her I don't mean to be a dick but not cabs can come down the block you're going to have to stand outside- I finally flagged down a cab got her in gave her $40 - to this day i am not sure if she had to shell out more money, i came up with that figure cause the last time i remembered taking a cab home from the city was Nov 1988 after the Dodge NIT and it cost $31-I tried remembering the license plate, and told her to please text me when she got home - she didn't seem to happy  but i thought i was doing the right thing. I took a cab to the Pound it was around 11:30- amazingly there was a line of 7 people with only one cashier working. on the line were two crack whores who wouldn't stop cursing the cops and city out, i think a Midwestern girl hysterical crying she didn't know what the city had in store for her- and some other peculiar characters-The girl got home which i was relieved that she did - and I got my car back at around 100 at night................Afterthought,and lessons to be learned  Option C was to go back with her to Brooklyn in the cab, and then come back to the city to pick up my car-That was supposedly what i was supposed to do according to "community protocol "- This girl was 29 years old I didn't think she was in danger at any part of the night even alone in a NYC cab. Make sure you carry cash or get cash before you go to the tow pound because they charge you like 7% in fees if you withdraw from the Tow pound ATM. I thought i ruined my sweater, but I've worn it again since.... Dinner $100, Cab to bklyn -$40?, Cab to the pound $7  Ticket and cost to redeem my car $385 -Cost me over $500 and I got NOTHING to add insult to injury my  reputation took a beating from this  also, I don't really care ----- definite no church on Sunday....................

Can you take this back,

This is not hot enough, OH this is not what i asked for. I had to apologize to the waitress on behalf of my date, cause she was super finicky with her food and had been giving them a hell of a hard time. I explained to her that this is not my fault shes not my girlfriend, just a first date so they wouldn't be pissed at me and spit in my food. This girl probably had the biggest set of balls on any girl i ever went out with she was opinionated. she knew everything, she was critical, had she been hot it probably wouldn't matter- but she wasn't - Objective was finish up as quickly as possible don't talk to much be respectful - like meatloaf says 2 out of 3 ain't bad i just happened to pick the wrong one out of the three- she had told me she started working in Red hook Brooklyn, and with out thinking i said i work in the area boom I didn't want there to be church on Sunday-- but there was she was persistent in me taking her in the morning i couldn't say no. She made me wait 15 minutes till she came out, she didn't shut up, she insisted on sticking her CD in my car, She sang, she was criticizing my driving- I didn't throw her out as much as i wanted to -I kept making excuses after that why i couldn't take her, after about two weeks she got the hint...........

He Really Exists,

There is a real Bababooey, My niece and Nephew thought he was a make believe character - but thanks to one of my readers who pre ordered for me the New "They Call me Bababooey" book  i was able to show them The real Bababooey. In His book he makes lists and Thanks to the same reader In Honour of Bababooey - I made up one of my own lists...... Here is a list of my five not so - memorable moments at the Center.....#5-The Time I got thrown out of a game and took my ball home- It was my ball....... #4 Up 15  points at half my team held the ball to start the second half against Truck the game was called at the 16:00 after truck went nuts #3- When i Broke my trophy after Winning the summer league championship, cause we played horribly and were supposed to win by a lot more #2 -Breaking and throwing the second place trophy across the gym- i wasn't the one that threw it down the stairs - got me suspended from the center- after that i just would drop it straight in the garbage #1- "The Chair"- I chucked a chair across that flew halfway across the gym landing right by Richie- after he almost beat the crap out of me-he threw me out of the center i wasn't allowed back for a month.............. I Guess my greatest contribution to the center was that they stopped handing out second place trophy's, "Finishing second is finishing last"-

What would you do for,

a girl that you were into and thought she was into you? I am going to tell you what NOT to do. after about three dates with this girl will call Mellisa - i couldn't figure out what was up but i knew i was into her she was telling me about this great movie i need to watch and i figured if i "humble" myself enough to watch i would increase my equity with her. Of course i asked for something in return, but ultimately decided unilaterally to watch a movie called " The Notebook" - It was Sunday night and i figured whats the worst that can happen?  As i started watching the movie i literally was checking for my manhood to make sure it didn't turn into female part - it was excoriating pain, I did get excited for one part when the girl he liked and the girl he was sleeping with met up i was praying for a cat fight or at least a threesome, but Noooooo - She asked me if i liked it - diplomatically i invoked the law of contra positive  which went like this  you like the movie------ I like you --------- therefore i liked the movie- not my best line. I knew i opened myself up to ridicule if i told anyone and of course i got called loser, homo. and all kinds of other names. All in all in the  " what would i rather " game  i would take tasering over the movie, but the movie over root canal.

Just leave me youre address,

and ill mail you a check cut the rest of the crap out, i hate it when i get this way but when people push you and are super aggressive it drives me nuts. a couple times  a month I usually get a call from the Lubavitcher guys telling him all this BS how much they love and blablabla, I think its a terrific organization  and I love to help out when i can, but these guys are relentless they don't stop calling to a point where they hijack you're phone, they'll call from private numbers, different numbers, i was hiding from them in Aug, they called me from Israel, There like the INTERPOL of donations. i found a solution i will preemtively send them a check every month that way i don't need to be harassed............. Would you rather use a Pink umbrella in the rain or just get wet?............................How come some girls that list themselves for instance at 5-3 135 are lean and slender and some at the same dimensions are average- medium build(usually the American girls use the lean and the Europeans would use the med)

The Chinese Umbrellas,

That you buy off the street for a dollar or two, are clearly an example of you get what you pay for. I was picking up this girl on a cold rainy Sunday night, i had no clue what she looked like and generally go with the motto of "sometimes good things happen"- it was pouring rain, i opened up my umbrella and walked to the door, after ringing the bell, i tried shutting the umbrella, but my thumb got caught in it and was cut pretty badly, i wanted to get the hell out of there, but settled for pressing my thumb down on my pocket i left the umbrella outside- Mystery date Mom's opens the door she welcomes me in and extends her hand out, my right thumb is gushing blood so i shake with the left, mystery date comes up and sometimes not such good things happen, with my thumb still gushing blood i walk her to the car under a broken umbrella - we had a lackluster conversation through the car ride i dropped her off at restaurant cause it was still raining and parked a block away i did manage to find a bodega and buy band aids -dinner was pretty much just food as we didn't have much to talk about -I did behave,  perhaps i wasn't very upbea ,There was no church on Sunday.............................................. On a different note this was clearly a rare occurrence of sometimes good things happen - i did get set up on a different mystery date, and the girl was smoking hot, maybe i should not have told her that people that will see us together will think I'm really  rich, but i had to slip that out. I'm sure what goes on through every guys mind when they see a really pretty girl with any guy they would assume he's really rich. We didn't have much in common except for the fact that she was super pretty, i was hoping she would be bitchy, That way i wouldn't feel bad if she ditched me she happened to be real nice and  suggested we be friends; Just friends- we didn't become friends.............

I reopned my Facebook,

account only after barely taking two days off, the reason was of course a girl who ask that i friend her, and then she defriended me............... I was Watching the Jets game today and of course i was posed with the dilemma should i finish watching the game or go to shul, I texted my  "go to friend"- for advice and she emphatically said shul, i felt guilty i went to shul , the Jets wind up winning  she was right.....................I am in the process of writing a bar mitzvah speech for my nephew, seems like there may be some inappropriate stuff but i will print it here when its done............................An Intresting  story i read on line about  Yigal Yadin a noted archaeologist, scholar, IDF chief of Staff, and deputy Prime Minister who went asked about stolen artifacts - In one instance, where the thefts were commonly attributed to the famous one-eyed general Moshe Dayan, he remarked: "I know who did it, and I am not going to say who it is, but if I catch him, I'll poke out his other eye too."- one of Israels Greats.................

Holy $h%& What are you doing Here,

Holy $hi%&, I live here Stupid. That was my reaction and the response when i went to pick up this girl i was set up with. When i was first told of the last name i thought for a second maybe shes related to the guy i was torment in Basketball Leagues at the center. A while ago I used to run the leagues at the center and this guy used to pretty much try to kill me, cause i was telling that  hes horrible and shouldn't be allowed to play basketball all in a humorous way- but of course i was serious. So my first Reaction when i saw him was you re not going to hit me, and he was like are you crazy he introduced me to his wife who happened to be super sweet, and was telling her this is the guy that used to jip me off points and stuff, i played up to it just to be nice, They both happened to be super nice people as we talked more while i was waiting for his daughter to come down. We Went out and had a nice dinner somewhere in the city at a place where i know i  can usually have no problems parking- we went out a second time- i don't think neither of us were feeling it for date #3 but i called her again and as usual what happens with me with most girls they become mysteriously super busy- but she said call me for next week- i thought about it for a second and never called- from my information i was told she was really truly busy ohh well no church on sunday again..................

Don't call me names,

Don't call me names, The meter maid hollered at me, as i was running to my car that was parked in a commercial zone in midtown while i was dropping off a box at a customer. Lately I have been playing Ticket Russian Roulette with King Bloomberg and have been fortunate to be getting away with it. I saw her walking up to scan my registration and only to be fair i did call her names;  a -----Sucker to be specific. but when i saw she didn't scan yet i denied call her any names and said g-d forbid i would ever disrespect our brave police force- she told me get the hell out of here  she did also point out my inspection was up- which she couldn't have gotton  me for $115 + $85. I know generally when its cold and rainy or to hot- the meter maids are no where to be found ,  But i think the quota to write a certain amount of tickets now can be motivating. The last ticket i got was a couple months ago, It was dubbed the "$115 Piss" -I didn't even  get to bust a nut -had i peed outside it would've been cheaper..............................................The only  explanation as to why my maintenance went up from $611.37 to  $767.94 was the Mob took over the Building, I called Several times, but no one seems to know

I lost it for.

 
   The first time in about 5 years as we called time out and i punted the basketball to the ceiling of the gym- I was never a very good basketball player, or coach but i never would disrespect the game and not play hard - in our game last night early on in the second half- i lost my cool when i felt players were playing stupid and loafing around , the refs were nice to us and just called a delay of game. The last time i went off the deep end on the court was when i was coaching the center team in the league semifinals I got thrown out for kicking the chairs and calling the ref a F%$& imbecile, they threw me out of the center, Ive been thrown out of the center on other occasions as well, for bad behavior, i guess to some extent I'm a sore loser..... observations:....................When on line at the express lane at a supermarket and you're buying for instance 3 of the same item does it count as one item or three................. I have noticed generally for the most part on the Staten Island expwy  that the sign that estimates you re time to the verrazano bridge is generally accurate the last two times it said 12 minutes i got to the bridge in 11:44 and yesterday it was 16 minutes and it took me 15:24......................I went to the Lebanese shul on sunday for Minha,Arbit it took them 30:27 from start to finish on the average there about 5 to 6 minutes slower than other shuls...........................................

It says that G-d delivers

prophecy's through the child or the  crazy- During the summer of 84 while in Israel there was a family friend who was missing a few cards in his deck to say the least-Predicted that one day the Labor party in Israel would be the hope for Arafat. It was during elections and the Labor party slogan was  "Hamaarch hoo Hatikva" labor is the hope he just added to Arafat - Today marks the Anniversary of the Assassination of Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin. I don't believe in conspiracy theories, but there are a lot of unanswered questions regarding the murder, I wont get into it but The Israelis who are supposed to be #1 in all security matters for them to fail to protect the prime minister can't be overlooked as a security lapse, Especially with all the incitement at that time against Rabin after the controversial  signing of the Oslo Accords. The chants of  "Rabin Boged "(traitor) and calls for his murder, I felt did cross the line, and never believed he should have been called a traitor or have people call for his murder.I cringed when i saw The Rabin- Arafat Handshake at the ceremony at the white house as  I was fiercely against the Oslo Accords, i felt it endangered lives and cost a lot of bereavement at the expense of "Peace"..................................... Tomorrow marks 20 years since Rabbi Meir kahana was assassinated after giving a speech at a midtown hotel in NYC- I remember talking about it in school the next day and one of the future brain surgeon girls in the class was glee with excitment after hearing Rabbi Kahana was shot- She thought it was our Principal Rabbi Abraham Kahana - who was a distant relative to the legendary Jewish activist..... The slogan "Kahana Tzadak" Kahana was right is still the main battle cry of many Israelis who believe his words regarding the Situation with the Arabs..................
