So it has been a few days and now working on my computer seems to have made life better. China has allowed us to log onto Blogger.com now but now they have blocked us from seeing youtube.com go figure that shit.

Now lets talk some more crap here. This week i decided; "What the hell, i am going to buy a motor-bike". Now here in China for low power bikes, basicly ones you drive around the city or town in but not around the country, and no more then 2 hours of riding time or the motor heats up and blows. So here I am, just got it and that night some friends in the city want to go to dinner. So i get on my coat (it is about 50 degrees out) and gloves and get on the bike to go. So i get down the hill and across the river (not to grandmothers house I go) and then get into the outer area of the city. So the light in front of me is flashing that it will turn to yellow in about 10 seconds but still green and don't you know the dam taxi in front of me slams on his fucking brakes.

Ok, so i know I was the one in the back and that means it is automatically my fault, but come on, a guy slams on his brakes when the dam light is still green? What the hell is up with this picture. So, i get off my bike and he gets out of his taxi, now my front is smashed in and on his bumper there is a "Scuff" not even a scratch. He is saying he wants me to give him 250 (now that is yuan not dollars in US Dollars about $30.00). For a fucking scuff mark. He is saying that his dam bumper is not broken on the inside and a whole bunch of shit, all he saw is a foreigner and a chance to make some cash. Now we all have to say,... this guy thinks to small, I should of gone for more then $30.00 wouldn't you? But the fact is i was holding myself back so much from just letting loose and beating the shit out of this guy. If not for the fact that i have spend almost two year building a reputation for myself in this city that I am now friends with Doctors, Government Officials, Police, Business Men and more then I would truly not of given a shit and beat this little prick to the ground. That is what i would call some true Old School New York Street Shit. I look around in this country sometimes and say to myself how i have no worries most of the people i see here i can take, but every now and again i see some that would make me think twice. I am not one that has ever backed down from a fight, and I am not saying that is a good thing but when push comes to shove even if I know the odds are 100% against me I will stand my ground and do what I have to do to be the one to walk away. I am not trying to sound like some big strong prick because i am far from it, but when the shit hits the fan I have always taken care of myself and those with me. I have not won every battle but i have won enough to allow me to keep breathing.

Just a side note since i am on the whole violence issue. I am not one that love to fight or see someone hurt. But I must admit in the past things have happened and my opponents have gone down to the point they will never get up, and to this day i still see the faces, i can still remember the moments so vivid, like they are a HD movie playing again and again. So with that said, think before you take action, for those you hurt or worse may not leave you for a very, very long time.

So on another note, i was on the radio for the first time today. I helped to advertise the city and what it has to offer to the entire nation. I will tell you there is something to be said for the opportunity to have over 1.3 billion people hear your voice that gives you the feeling of joy, inside and down bellow.

So this is my crap for these days, there will be more to come. I have some things i published in a chat forum that i will be putting in here in blocks. I hope you enjoy them and until next time, take care and stay safe no matter where you are and who you are.
