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.................. 

BoobaJones #6........No Spirit, No heart,

No Guts and No Pride that's how we showed up tonight. The last time we played team green we held the ball and fell 31-29 on a last second shot. Tonight we came out in a man defense, the defense wasn't the problem the transition defense and rebounding was. We would come down take a bad shot they'd have numbers on us three on two or two on one every time miss, get the rebound and put it back in -we got pushed around out hustled and completely dominated in the first half.  We switched into a zone and everyone thinks all our problems are solved the problem with zones is accountability - me personally i don't play well in a zone i tend to lose the man nearest me to block out or finding myself late rotating - as far the rest of the team either there lazy or are just like me . We were stuck ten and the half seemed like it was 30. We opened up the second half in a zone we contained them on a couple of possessions so everyone was patting each other on the back all excited until freddy mann hit two consecutive threes. we wasted a time out to switch back to a man-(my fault on the T.O) for the next 10 minutes or so we finally played with some pride we rebounded we got back we stopped them in transition and cut into the lead and finally tied the game. Freddy Mann hit a three from the corner with 30 something seconds left to put them up three mike Mann forced a three and missed we fouled they missed here is a key play that happened since were such a good rebounding team for some reason we only had three guys on the line instead of four- guess who came up with the rebound? The shooter did,he passed out to freddy mann and for some odd reason he heaved another three and missed - we called time mike was fouled with one second left he made the first missed the second on purpose we lost 53-51.......... some personal side notes to the game----- we fouled the three pointer shooter on the shot twice, once getting a Technical also - We probably shot 30% as a team from the floor, a lot of bad shots .... we were out rebounded by at least 15................I am not going to signal anyone out by names but our defense was lousy for most of the game........

It's been two days,

Since i closed off my Facebook account, and thus far i don't miss it, Especially now with the Elections, I can probably read it my mind all the unthought, unoriginal. posts that many of my "friends" put up. I wasn't a big poster myself, and usually when i did post something it represented either an historical event, or something that i may find witty ( i am very careful not to post or even send emails of things that i don't deem funny- because everyone gets flooded with millions of emails of nonsense). The main reason i decided to shut down at least temporary was just that it was becoming a basic distraction- i do have to log back on in the near future to email some relatives etc........I Did support Freedom yesterday and voted, despite bickering about it.............. When i learn how to copy and paste i will paste my ballot here same as some videos.........Update from my last date turns out that there wont be any church on Sunday, not to elaborate this time there was no confusion here is how it broke down  I asked to call her again----she said call me ------ i called left a message-------she texted back shes busy will get back to me tomorrow-------- she texted me 2 days later shes sorry she forgot-------i texted back its cool don't worry------- THE END....... the only thing that i can think of that i did wrong was I made fun  of the place we ate - but i chose it, she was eating very hard chicken and couldn't cut it so i helped her and then i texted her i got arthritis from it - the joke clearly bombed but i don't think that had anything  to do with it.....

where did these kids get the balls,

to take some of the shots they were heaving up was my first thought as i watched basketball leagues at the Center. Guys shooting long threes, fade aways with two guys in there face. dribbling for eternity until they can somehow squeeze there shot or erratic drive to the basket and then started barking at the refs for a foul. I think this era of basketball tolerates the guy that shoot 30% from the floor- unfortunately basketball is not baseball where 3 out of 10 is good. This is not a knock on the talent, but more so  on there brains- kind of like the old commercial "this is drugs then they show you you're brain on drugs"  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3FtNm9CgA6U- . the game was going on and i watch a kid just pull up from about 22  feet no regard to the big man running the floor and just clank it -  didn't even bother getting back on Defense - "Have you, no shame, no embarrassment " had i been on the court i  definite would've knocked him out - Had basketball been played in Biblical times a lof of these players would be flogged and stoned..........................................

My Profile reads as following,

originally from Jerusalem,The eternal capital of the Jewish people ( liberal jdate censors please dont erase that) not according to our state dept cause there is no country on my passport. I always wanted to be the guy you're mother warned u to stay away from unfortunately I have no tattoos, piercings,never stole anything except once Swedish fish from Costco and ketchup from supermarket( i went back when i realized i stole it) and music also I've never been in a gang not unless u count Bnie Brith. The Good news is i look like my Pictures, The bad News is i also look like my pictures - If there were a Hall of fame for Punctual people I'd definite be in it. I pronounce silent letters in words to be inclusive. I am somewhat superstitious i don't listen to Arabic music when i fly, or call out dice, I stepped in #2 three times in the past 2 years and never got any good luck - I'm in wholesale health and beauty products not my ideal job cause i really suck at basketball - Menachem Begin is my hero,(despite Sinai accords). i am fluent in worldwide profanity it helps it's very useful in Traffic and i don't really know Spanish just what i read in the bathroom walls - for the most part on these dating sites the only thing that usually counts is the photos- A couple of interesting things that have happened to me here was once i was getting emails from these insanely good looking girls from Israel- they all seemed to look like the Supermodel Bar Raphaeli and i was thinking "holy crap there is no way I'm this good looking"- as the saying goes if its to good to be real its too good to be real- turns out they were looking for me to hook up with green cards plus i don't think it was really them in the picture I  do admire them  for there forwardness......

Why are they all Excited in China Town,

 Because tomorrow is ERection  day....... same old joke every year,Haha its so stupid that it's funny plus its a once a year joke. Elections are very tricky with all the polls and no one really knows the accuracy of the polls. When the Betting line for the presidential elections between Obama and McCain first came out  in 2008 McCain was only +160 meaning for every $100 bet you would win $160 and if you bet Obama you'd risk -180 to win $100. The Monday before the election McCain was an 11-1, I called my bookie to bet on McCain- of course he had no shot, but i was influenced by guys like Hannity saying this is not over don't let you're hearts be troubled. McCain can pull it off - The truth is and this may sound racialist but i was hoping for the Bradly effect ( in the 80s Tom Bradley a black candidate was running for Gov of California and the numbers showed he was well ahead, because white voters weren't telling the truth who they would vote for http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bradley_effect) but for me 11-1 meant $6500 big ones (actually i dumped 100 on my friend Swiss)- We were only 25 years off........................
