Welcome Back to LA…….bullet points

OK OK

I can not believe I survived a year out this piece. I certainly have not changed. Still angry at the world….still full of the hate. So for all you naysers…thanks for checking in.

What the hell have I accomplished?…………………

Same Job for a year (anyone that knows me knows that is a damn miracle)
Stayed out the way of these tryfiling women
Good contacts in intertainment
2 months behind on my project
finally bought a car…….
another few years here is deff in site
have not been home in 15 months.
Miss kenrick,lenka,john hinds, phil, marty ranks, newbrunswick crew
have not heard from any of my ex girlfriends.
almost got hit by a car
my landlord stole my close and shoes and laptop
Saw somone kidnap a dog that had cancer for a $500 ransom at a shady hotel
seen a few has been celebrities.
Saw Al Cowlings (the otha nigga in da car with OJ).
and……
I started wearing tighter Jeans

So I went to spend time with my family in Orlando Florida. It was much needed break from the high intelligence that LA offers. I got news for you all….There are dumb people in Florida. I think the people that provide any type service to you……either at CVS or Radioshack…..in a warm weather state are all just a little slow. At universal studios nobody knew where to eat or even go to the bathroom.
You all have to check out that simpson’s ride…..shit is off da hook. My mother is a true hater and she really enjoyed that ride. If you are ever down in Orlando please stay away from “Yuk Fuk Wok” or whatever that chinese Place is called. I felt I OD’d on the MSG in all the food.

The Olympics are over thank God. I got tired of the Jamaicans just plain old dominating sshit as usual and “Phelps the new golden white boy”.

The RNC convention was just wack. Did anyone see the only black dude in the audience………..it was the brotha with that veterans hat on. lol……….

Wow…..Fucking Lehman Brothers…….is going down……
an ex girlfriend of mine used to work there. I can’t believe those son of a bitches that rejected me 5 times …not even second interviews is about to be saved from going out of business………..Shot outs to all that fraudster MBA’s that ran the business into shit. Bunch of scammers. Sorry to rain on anybody’s little dream of working for an investment bank.

You know what I did this past wee?. I had a conversation with somone that always got on my nerves. I never in 4 years told them the reason why I could not stand them…until yesterday. not that I am special or your special…..but if there is someone out there that makes your skin crawl…..please reach out and talk to them. you might be telling them something that makes them see how others view them. it can help them out. I feel like me and that other person accomplished something. Hiding your feelings never really helps anyone….and you know that from experiance.

My mom’s book was released this week………and I am proud of her. It was nice going ino Barnes and Noble and asking for your moms book. It really made me realize that I got to get my shit together…that means..YOU TOO.

So I cut back on drinking………well not really ……In my line of work it’s too easy get hooked…….it’s always infront of you.

I’m on day 46 of not going to the site assparade.com. No more big booty internet shit for me. It’s tough…..most of you reading this don’t have a clue about online porn withdrawal syndrome…….OPWS.

Till next time………………..PEACE

Handsome Dre on the Economy.

Dre on the Economy
Current mood: betrayed

Yeah yeah Ya boy is back with another Rant.

This time it’s all about the Economy

Times are tough Baby. Start using your toothpaste twice.

http://losangeles.craigslist.org/sfv/ers/786169843.html

You better start making your payments on your ride before you end up like this…guys you too !! you might end up wearing some leather chaps down the street late at night

.http://butchbeardedhungbear.usafur.com/0hungbear0.jpg

Has anyone heard the news about Supercuts closing 180 locations.I know white folks are going to be all upset at this shit. Their hair is already fucked up.
now you might see the return of the Bowl haircut.

http://www.cmikesell.com/_img/haircut001.jpg

http://tinypic.com/297b6t

Those pics are of what’s to come in America !!

Anyway back to the economy………..I work in a restaurant and I notice more people are splitting there Entree and desserts. Dudes are spending less on women. I see alot of them splitting the bill on dates…that’s always a good thing.

These mortgage company and big bank executives should all be put in jailed for making people think they could afford shit with no money down and no fixed rates. that is sad sad sad. alot of families are going to be effected by this.

I feel sorry for all those “know it all” Realestate moguls that bought 4 homes on credit and who are now having issues with bad tenants. and shot outs to all the home flippers too.

One thing I’ve learned in the last ten years…is that if you start seeing everyone has become an expert, all feel pumped after reading a book like rich dad poor dad…………stay away from them and what they are into.

Thank the good lord that Bear Sterns is out of business. The rejected my resume 6 times back in da day. I just don’t understand how all these over educated people can let this all happen……….obviously they are not that smart. nothing but scammers !

I’m starting to wonder about all the young people from 24-36 riding around in Range Rovers and Escalades. You going to see these folks start buying less drinks in da club after paying $125 to filll up their truck 2x a week. Night clubs from LA to NY better start having 2 for one drinks for all these ballers. I’m predicting that there will be a surge in parking lot pimping since it’s costing $30-40 just to walk in a spot these days.

People used to call me cheap for drinking at home before I get into the spot……but many did not realiz that it cost about $70 to get a slight buzz….even more for me and my alcholic self and friends back in Jersey.

I still am the only person I know to to get kicked out of several places for walking in Wasted. I apologize to any family or friends who I embarrassed while trying to save a few bucks.

You know that shit has hit the fan when people are saying that there child Chavone who is 15 years old and 5’11 is actually 4 years old in order not to pay the extra $1.25 fare on da bus………..I saw this happen in downtown LA last week.

You know to day is my ex girlfriend’s birthday……….I hope her knew guy takes her out to a nice restaurant and she is real hungry. I hope that dude decides to order one Entree and split the dessert…………lol………then he splits the bill with her………..lol…….lol………. i know i know you think i am hater

Anyway………..stay tuned for next weeks “LA Story: One Year Later”

shot out to anyone that took the time to read this……….because I wouln’t.
save your money for these tough times we got coming up ! eat before you go out god damn it !!!

“Stay alive if possible”-
andre

incase you where wondering how i’d i come up with such and uncanny qoute…….
i was in a restarant on the lower east side in manhattan drinking 2.5 bottles of white wine wile trying to have a conversation with a newly out the closet lesbian. her name was Shanny and she was Columbian from the bronx. She was waiting for her exboyfriend to pic her and her Girlfriend to take them back up to the bronx. we where talking about how fast white women age.They ended up dropping me off on 33′rd street so I could take the Path train to Newark. I ended up getting in a cab with some African dude named Shakka. who had 5 kids and one day hopes to own his own cab. He even shared a story about the time he got arrested for selling phoney Rolexes. I told him “stay alive….if possible”…after giving him $12.50…..then I went to bed. You know i’m not sure his name was shakka…i had way too much to drink that night.

please let me know what trends your spotting that shows the economy is getting worst. also let me know what topic you want me to rant on.

LA Story Redux

andre2010 — Thu, 23 Oct 2008 01:46:58 +0000

First and foremost, I would like to apologize to the entire hatian community for making false accusations. For years I have also mirepresented the facts of waht really happend to my Polo Jacket. I always thought it was jacked but infact I was probly drinking back in 03′ and left it at a bar or a friends house. I am not sure it was Jacked. For years I have hid this from the public. I now spend my days trying to move on pass THE POLO JACKET CRISIS. When i think about it….I just remember having a good time with someone who I cared about at that period in my life. We are all guilty of having a piece of clothing that symbolizes a relationship.

Anyway…….I’m still here in Self imposed exile in LA. I am having a good time. I still don’t know the full scoop of this town but i am starting to break a little ground. The housing situation is buckwild out here. I have decided to take some headshots and start sending them out….you know……I might get lucky….I think I do a great job of acting like I work hard….so why not get paid for it. I can tell you one thing though and that is as soon as i get a liitle bit of money……I am deleting my myspace page, cutting off my cell phone that none of my friends or even family will be able to get in contact with me. Next is some exotic air head chick and a black sports car that gets 8 mpg…..I’ll let AL Gore figure out how to save the planet.

ok ok ok….i been hanging out a little bit ……

last week I went to the BMI Latin awards and after party……..It was pretty cool. Hennesy sponsored the after party. I do think the Puerto Rican chicks from the Bronx and the Dominican chx up on 143rd and Broadway look better. but the Latina ladies where in full spender. you know i think I’m getting old……..it not I think i have alot of money…..I CAN NO LONGER DIGEST REGULAR HENNESSY ANY LONGER!! I have to do the premium Henny. Suprisingly, I made it to work @ 7am on time baby !!

So I’ve been hanging out at a Cigar Shop on Sunset since the first day I got here. The owner needed a few shifts covered….guess who has volunteered?…….It’s pobably the best job I’ve had. I get paid to look at fake tits, shake hands and 3 cigars a day. i get to do alot writing here as well…….so that is good.

ok ok I’m almost done….here goes the sentimental shit.

I urge you all to stay focused on your visions….I’ll explain later but …….i got wrapped up in so much work that i forgot tocall my father for fathers day…….i felt terrible.

as long as your working for someone else you are living someone elses dream.

peace out !!

LA Story 2008

andre2010 — Thu, 23 Oct 2008 01:45:47 +0000

Yeah YEAH yeah, ya boy is back. Man it’s been too long since I captured my moment in LA and put it in a time capsule. Fist off, the last few months have been real cool. I got promoted at my job. I am now a manager. Meaning I am now in charge of nothing. From East coast to West Coast…Managers have meetings about the next meetings. I’ve been attempting to do some networking. I’ve have minimal success. It looks promising though. I ran into a couple of snags with getting an apartment closer to work. These knucle head people want to see your damn myspace page first before lettign you come see there place. I hope NY is not gettign like that too. Craigslist out here sucks. I have not gotten any really good deals. Your better off asking around out here. I have been seeing alot of film shoots while walking on the streets which I think it’s cool. At times this place seems to be one big hollywood sound stage and everyone is auditioning for something no matter how minimal the job is out here. I finally found a great cigar shop out here. The people are really nice and they treat me well. 2 new big name restaurants just opened acroos the street from us. There nice and have big names, but my place is totally different.

Just to shake things up abit with ya, I can not believe I saw valet parking at Kinko’s lol………lol………man i almost lost my mind………I got jacked for $2. Few weeks agao I was rollin with my old buddy from Jersey and this homeless guy was cursing us out. He probly said the hardest hip hop line I have ever heard. he was like “I dream Big, I dream Big MAN !! I dream about everything !! Listen you two young Niers ! I’ll even Dream both of Y’all Futures.” I was like dyyaaam, Someone needs to sign this man and give him a cash advance. How hard has that? Shoot I got to get outta here !!…I’ll holla at ya real soon

Death & Job Promotion !! LA STORY prt 3

andre2010 — Thu, 23 Oct 2008 01:41:20 +0000

Wheeeeew!!!….Came close dying this week in 3 different areas.

1. Almost got hit by a car on Melrose…..by the way…… of all the cars in the world…..a damn Buick !!

2. I thought I was going to be a victim walking home when a car rolled up on me full of 6 young black negroes. Yeah all much younger than me…..by the way the car was red…..they all had red on (yeah connect the dots bitch). I felt like Micheal J Fox !!….I WAS SHOOK !!

They asked me “where da the party at” and “who you be wit” (I pulled out a chapter from riding the J , A, 2, C late at night skills) ……I walked up to the car and asked for a ride down the street and told them that I was from Edison, NJ….One guy was totally bullshitting when he was like yeah…”I heard about that shit in the news”….They said they had no room and gave me a couple hand shakes and pealed out FAST.

3. Expensive Expensive……This Dry Cleaning Lady by USC charged my $26 for my 7 shirts !!!…..I played it off smooth and pretended that Jamaican Dave gave me a phone call and walked out. I don’t think you or her bought that either. I work in Beverly Hills and I found a place where all the rich people go. Turns out the Place is 99 cents a shirt. No wonder they stay rich. The first lady is right across the street from USC !!!

By the way …..I am now in charge of putting ice on Oysters on my Job !!

BAAALLLLLIIIIINNNNNN !!!!

Yeah……..more like the emotional one !!

Ya Boy in Da Desert HEAT,

Dre

Still in LA….LA Story Prt 2

andre2010 — Thu, 23 Oct 2008 01:39:08 +0000

Still in LA

Yeah Yeah You Bunch of Sorry Excuses !!

I’m still here in the city of Angels. This place is grimier than NYC. If you half step here……. you are in trouble !! This place has got alot of things going on. I’m so glad to be away from all the Puerto Rican and damn Dominicans in NYC. It’s only a matter of time before these Mexicans get on my last nerve here. They got some CRAZY Black people here boy………….I mean these negroes have lost it !! I’m looking for a car under $500 but I don’t trust these shaky Guatamalan mechanics. They my jack some parts from my shit. That’s the last thing I need ! My writing is going very well so far.It’s hard to have a decent meal under $25 here though. I’ve caught a few chicks checking me out despite my lack of a Ferrari. I’ve met a bunch of cool people here though all on the day to day grind.

Stay tuned from more LA Stories

Yah Man on da seen

DRE

Stuck in LA.

andre2010 — Thu, 23 Oct 2008 01:37:01 +0000

I bought a one way ticket to LA……..I think I’m really losing it.

I am going to be staying for a another week…….Shit I might just stay the hell here……

I’m having a good time though…….If I make it back to the east coast I got a million stories to tell you all……..From my secret desire to throw up a gang sign when nobody’s looking …..to the accidental visit to the Gay Guetamalan/Mexican night club !!!…….

More Bad News for Dre

andre2010 — Thu, 23 Oct 2008 01:34:57 +0000

this blog is a year and a half old……….I thought I should repost

Man,

My Medical Career is over……………before it even started I’m now looking into the window shade cleaning business……..here is why………for the past 13 weeks I’ve been in this mini medschool course at UMDNJ- Newark.It’s crash course on Medical school.I graduated from the program last night……I have not graduated anything Since 1992…….so I was happy to go!

Here is why my Brief Medical Career Ended:

I go to the lobby to meet Jamaican Dave….came back and sat down………this lady started to sit next to me and dave and I give her a look like I was holding it for somone……..then i told her go ahead with an attitude and 1 minute later…I snatched my sunkist soda can out of her way. She started laughing hard when I snatched the soda can. I even mumbled..”I’m glad I amuse some people” & “I don’t know how some people can live with themselves”……….she was still cracking up…………then I start telling Dave how good she looked….and even though she is older….I would still give her my number…I REALLY WAS GOING TO TO!!……She looked ok for an older chick.

DUDE……………….

15 minutes later they are giving out these big awards to the executives………………..then they call………MS COX……….PRESIDENT AND CEO OF UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL. The lady sitting next to me stands up……to recieve her award.

YEAH……………………GULP!!!….yeah I had a BALL in my THROAT.

To make matters worse………….she comes and sits down again. Before she sat down…..She was like… is it OK for me to sit now?(you young niggaz know who I am now right) ..I’m like…You know what miss Cox……I saved your seatwhile dave tried to give it away. she chit chatted with me and dave for a bit and asked me my name(I should of said Don Barker or some other shit) …and then she was off to her next appearance.

So yeah man…………If you know anyone that needs there windows cleaned…….please give them my number.

I’m keeping my big mouth shut for the rest of the year.

Dre on Gay Marriage

andre2010 — Thu, 23 Oct 2008 01:32:45 +0000

There is alot of talk about gay marraige……I mean alot. Personally I am not concerning my life about two grown men getting together. It is there business. To me this “ban” talk is just a dance around the circle. It’s all about ECONOMICS in my view of the “Sitchi-ation” (That’s Newark street style for situation). If you have 20 million gay house holds getting the same tax benefits as a straight couple…..I am in BIG TROUBLE!!! Getting married has a huge tax benefit as in comparison to being single. That means the IRS will loose revenue….and lots of it. Your talking about a 20-30%++ they would be saving if they had combined incomes. You know damn well uncle sam “aint gonna” dig into his own pockets to come up with the difference. WE THE PEOPLE are going to have to pay for it in hire taxes. Getting married would also entitle them to pass on there estates. If they as individuals with a basic will(god forbit they don’t have one)there estates are heavily taxed like it has been for years. As a union most of there assets will be passed on to the spouse or child/cargiver without a heavy tax burden. That loss of estate taxes if you have not put 2 and 2 together by now equals more lost revenue for our beloved Uncle Sam.YESSS “MO MONEY MO MONEY” (no need to translate). All this Ladies , Gents, Cross genders means BIllions and Billions.

The religous argument is getting a little Passe’ to me. I understand that people have there belifes and I respect that, But lets not pretend that we are not all capitalists here.

Janet Jackson on LIFE SUPPORT !

andre2010 — Thu, 23 Oct 2008 01:30:37 +0000

Yeah, lets talk about Janet Jackson…..Ms. Jackson if your NASTY!!!

That intro was for all you old school heads!!

Both Janet & her brother MIKE had ample time through out the years to hop on this hip hop bandwagon. Janet missed her chance in the 80′s and late 90′s. POP POP POP was all you heard from them. RAP RAP RAP was know where to be found. They both underestimated Hip Hop. Now all of a sudden this chick is boning Jermaine Dupree. J can not save her career. She should of supported hip hop artists from back in the day rather than trying to use them now to boost her “faded Star Status. I think Mr. Dupree busted his NUT on the Usher & Ms. Carey projects …………they SOLD 22 MILLION WORLD WIDE TOGETHER. Mr. D out did himself ! I think this album is going to be a good push but….I don’t think it’s from her heart. We shall see. I hope she is still dating Mr.Dupree if her album TANKS.
