NEIGHBORHOOD IMPROVEMENT
Check it out! Last weekend I was out and about and saw some visible signs of improvement in my neighborhood.




This giant clock tower is so cool because I can see it from a block away as I keep track of all the late buses that finally make it to my stop.



Ay Chihuahua!! Pico-Union es muy bonita. I'm glad to see my tax dollars at work.

JABBAWOCKEEZ - IF YOU DON'T KNOW YOU BETTER ASK SOMEBODY

Well folks, another "star" has risen in our family of artists and entertainers. My nephew Kevin and his dance crew, the JabbaWockeeZ, are making big news on the little and big screens with their incredible dance style.

Currently you can catch them competing on Randy Jackson's "America's Best Dance Crew" tv show on MTV. And you can also catch them doing their thang on the big screen in the feature film, "Step Up 2 - The Streets". Oh yea baby, it's on and poppin'!

I could tell you all the stories of how my nephew and niece, Atija, were doing their thing back in the 80's, and that me and sister Fran were holding court in her living room having big fun learning the newest dance crazes from this dancin' duo. I can tell you that 'cause it's all true. This is where it began for them, and we've got every funny moment on videotape. From Kevin doing his best MC Hammer impersonation with his mom and aunt as his backup dancers...wigs falling off, laughing hysterically- to clips of Tija and Kevin showing us the moves they choregraphed for their Jr. High and High school dance crews. We knew they were the real deal and now it's paying off in a big, big way.

Recently I had the pleasure of sitting through a taping of the Dance show and I tell you, I couldn't be more proud of what Kevin's accomplished. He's a husband, father and he's following his dream of being a member of the best dance crew in America. I have faith in what he's doing and I know there's more and more exposure to come. CONGRATULATIONS NEPHEW, you've come a long way baby!

SUPER TUESDAY

Well the race is tighter than ever for the Democratic party. "Billary" Clinton and Mr. Obama are neck and neck in this race. Hillary even loaned $5 million dollars more to her campaign to step up her game.

Even though Barack won 13 states, and Hillary won 8, she won more delegates and that sucks big time as far as I can calculate. The race is not over, but after hearing some of the dumb reasons people are voting the way they are....I get angry and discouraged. I'm still hopeful but...I'M STEAMING right about now.

This Mexican bus driver was talking to a black woman today and he said, "yea, when Bill was in office he brought the recession down, and I think he'll help Hillary do a good job. Since we've never had a woman president I want to see that in my lifetime." HOGWASH!!! Homey knows that if a Mexican man was running against Hillary. all that talk would go right out the window!! The black woman said, "so basically if people vote for Hillary they're really voting for her husband." He agreed and was happy with that. Yet he can't see that America has never had a Black, Hispanic, or Asian for President.

GIVE ME A BREAK!!!! Politics and Religion....two issues you just don't want to get into a discussion with with friends and strangers.

Other candidates are dropping out of the race like flies, but Barack Obama is in it to win it and I'm backing him all the way. Yea he represents me and I like his policies....America needs change.
