Real Trains. Model Trains. Such as: Acela. The Bullet Train, or Shinkansen. Yamanote - a cool surface Train Line in Tokyo, Japan (I've only seen it in a Video). The Romance Car - like the new 'Odakyu 50000 VSE'! =) Eurostar. TGV. Steam Engines. Diesels. Electrics. Budd Cars (they still exist). Metroliners. I have NEVER been on BART, MARTA, RATP or others I can't think of.Why not? Poverty Level Income. Not enough? Read my Blog "The Color Of Money".Although I'm NOT too keen on those "Driverless Trains", I'm impressed with the CAM - Computer Automated Metro - in Montreal. WOW! Rubber Tired Subway Trains! =) And THAT 'Musical Sound' they make when they move! =O But it "feels weird" there is a computer doing the driving. =| I'm not into Model Train Layouts run by 'Computer', either. Where IS the fun in THAT?The LRT in Manila, Philippines is quite interesting. I hope old friends from the Philippines will find me on this site. Nilda Quigao. Thess Bernardess. Rachel Dizon. Juliet Llanes. Lorna G Bintad. Hmmmmm....:-/ any others?A train just sitting there is sexy. A train on the move is sexier. At the controls OR in the driver seat of a train: HOT! HOT! HOT! And THAT Music! See the Bottom of 'Music' Box for that."What about sex", you ask? That's the last thing on my mind. I RARELY think about it. A bunch more of you just left. Sex IS overated, right? Those 'links' that direct the user to some site full of 'scantily clad women' are such a waste of my time. I got better things to do...and look at. I'm NOT interested in women that see themselves as sex objects. It's 'So Degrading'. Yet, I wonder why they do THAT and a thing called Bondage? They "enjoy it" is what I get. Enough said.Movies AND Music....see the the BOXES Below.Also, Asian Foods - mostly Chinese and Japanese. I LOVE Sushi! Chopsticks! I learned in school early in my Childhood...and I never really forgot! It's not hard to imagine an American Black Guy that STILL knows how to use 'Chopsticks', is it? ;-)I'm curious about Chinese Opera. The Martial Arts: Ninjitsu and Samurai.Cooking. Yeah, I cook ALMOST Everyday. Can you believe it? I learned from both my parents. :))HEALTHY STUFF: Gotta have that "Liquid Sunshine" - Orange Juice. Those Pomegranite Juices (I LOVE 'em)! If I have the $$$, I would buy it by the case! Grape Juice - HEALTHIER Than Wine! Lemonade - I have it daily at work. :D Apple Juice...Pineapple Juice and those mixes of other Juices. I eat Broccoli AND Fish. I love the Low Sodium Soy sauce.I'm NOT a coffee drinker. I hate the smell. And there are really no health benefits to that stuff...except to make the drinker nervous. And who wants that? It's Hot Cocoa or Hot Chocolate...especially WITH Marshmallows. =) I RARELY drink Tea.I tasted beer just ONCE. :-P It was AWFUL!If 'Good Health' is such a good thing, it's a blessing and a curse at the same time. One can be in 'Perfect Health, but have no $$$ to travel. I don't understand where or HOW other people get the $$$ when they have "MS", "Cancer" or some other disease/illness and be able to see the world before they get too Ill. A Generous Charity? Life Savings? Life Insurance? Family/Friends with $$$$$$? I guess not everyone is so lucky. Makes me wonder why "Last Holiday", (starring Queen Latifah) flopped?NO ONE IS PERFECT: I Learned on my own that stealing IS wrong. Yeah, I USED to steal. Scary, huh? I took: Candy, Toy Cars, Money... The BIGGEST thing I almost stole was a watch...when I was in the 6th grade. I saw it in a desk at school but I NEVER took it. And, I did return some of what I stole when I "Changed my ways". O:-)SAME RACE RELATIONSHIPS: Not many Black Women are interested in a guy like me. Again, I'm fine with that and enough said.And, I'd like to 'WHACK!' Mayor Ray Nagin, of New Orleans upside the head and tell him: "There is only ONE 'Chocolate City': HERSHEY, PENNSYLVANIA!"INTERRACIAL RELATIONSHIPS: I have ALWAYS been interested in Interracial Relationships since childhood. REALLY! I have had much experience in it in the late 1990's. I married an Asian Woman in November 1997, but all she REALLY wanted was to 'marry an American' so she could stay here. Yeah, she LIED at the Altar. She walked out in 2004. INS wont do anything about it. O_oI have no regrets. Her action is Permanent on HER Lifetime Resume. She lacked "Family Values". Need I Say More? :))I know not ALL Women from Overseas want to be like that. I still believe there ARE Honest Women out here to meet and see where it goes from there...even being 'just friends' is cool with me. It's like: "What's the latest news out of..." Japan? China? Taiwan? England? Switzerland? Africa? Canada? France? You get the idea. ;-)Briefly, back on the subject of Asian Women: I'm often left giggling at the profiles that SOME Asian women put up "...prefer a white male, Financially Secure, Educated and Stable Job." I guess they took movies like "Starman", "Superman" and "James Bond" way too seriously.Many European Women have similar 'preferences', too.How many movie theatres outside the USA showed "The Color Purple", "Meteor Man", "Bebe's Kids", "Boyz In The Hood", Jungle Fever", "The Long Walk Home", "Do The Right Thing", "Glory" or "Amistad"...unless they were shown on a flight to the US and foriegners STILL got the wrong idea about 'Being Black And Living In America'?With all do 'respect and NOT to sound racist', have those ladies paid close attention? As in what REALLY happened in American History, here? Ask me about MY Family History. I DID say "6th Generation Black American".My Parents helped fight for Civil Rights. And, I'm NOT going to 'mess up' what THEY fought for. It's VERY unfortunate MANY Blacks today DON'T feel the same way.True Story: One afternoon at a subway station, I was being polite to an Asian Female and her White Male companion. All I did was step to one side on the platform before the doors on the train opened (as I normally do, ANYWAY). THE couple saw me do it. THEY stepped off the subway car. HE said the "F" word to ME. She was not heard saying 'that was rude' or something...(but probobly slapped him silly upside the head afterward). OK, That's ONE Example. BUT, if she were paying attention: I said nothing. How many people WONT keep quiet? Much less make 'a scene'? Especially, since I'm 'Non-white'?I was "Polite" before they could step off the train.Plenty of witnesses - mostly white - saw ME and heard HIM. SHE DID 'prefer a White Male' to be with on a date (I wonder what names he called her...especially out of Ear Shot?).Check out my Blogs...if you like to read.It's nice to know not every Asian Woman '...prefer a white male, Financially Secure, Educated and Stable Job'. To be fair, I have 'spoken to quite a few' Asian women as well as women of other races. Many are surprised at how Polite and Patient I am. How young I look. ^__^And, they know how Racist America (still) is.There is one woman I remember seeing in September 1996. It was my first flight on a Jumbo Jet. My first trip to Japan. I was changing planes. The plane arrived in Osaka, Japan. As passengers were getting off the plane, I remember (a VERY Cute Japanese woman) walking in front of me. She asked, me as best she could in English, to give her a small item - head phones in an upper compartment above a seat. I just reached in and gave it to her. "You are so tall!" she said to me in her soft sweet voice.^__^ I was quite taken by her. When we got off the plane, she was looking back at me with a big smile.Well, I wish I were going TO Japan at that time. I would like to have gotten to know her. She could have shown me around parts of Japan?Hopefully she or a freind of hers that told her of that trip, will remember that story, and see this message? Who knows?Even if I never find her, I hope I find one just as sweet and open minded as her. ^__^"Made In Japan". That old Country Song by the Late Buck Owens stayed in my head for hours after I saw her. Nice flashback.Speaking for myself, I find it interesting women living here in the USA post profiles looking for "...a good guy" or "...a REAL Man" and barely show interest in me, yet I fit 'the good guy' thing VERY Well. Except: I live in a house instead of a Condo OR Apartment. I have no car (I do have a Driver License). And I have a LOW 5 figure Income. Yet, the MAJORITY of ladies interested in me ARE From Overseas! I'm fine with that.It's funny that women here in the US wonder 'why is that American Guy, with that Foriegn Girl?'This is all interesting, isnt't it?Think about it. Racial Issues covers a lot does it not? I don't mind talking about it.Are you familiar with "Pikachu" and the way his ears 'perk-up'? My ears do the same (not in same appearance, but you know what I mean!) whenever someone mentions 'Racial Issues'.OK, THE IMMIGRATION ISSUE: I STILL went to work on May 1st 2006. AKA, "No Gringo Day".CELLPHONE/MOBILEPHONE RINGTONE COMPETITION: I just use the Best One out there. I keep my 'Cellphone' set to 'Vibrate'.SPORTS: I'm not big on it, but I RESPECT my Home Teams.WALL STREET: Check out my Blog "13,000+". Here is the short of my thoughts on Wall Street. Ok. What's the BIG DEAL about a location that closes Up or Down? If stocks closing "Up" IS such a 'good thing' how come no one else benefits from it? Layoffs still happen. Oil/Gas Tycoons still take home billions yearly. Jobs STILL get sent OUT of the USA - AKA "Job Outsourcing". All that as hard working people live paycheck to paycheck to paycheck.And, THOSE 'Commercials' that say: "Call Now! Earn $10,000 in your first month going into business for yourself! Earn 10 times that in a year!" Do people REALLY "believe" that stuff? Come On! It's All FAKE! The REAL Money Makers ARE the people that send you that stuff when they ask you to pay for it - via shipping and handlng charges. JUST Buy A Lottery Ticket!Tarot Cards. Palm Reading. Palmistry. The Pendulum. Numbers. I'm into that, too. What else...? Chinese Iron Ball excercises. I have those.
