My Little City Blog

Nights and days pass in Gotham. Each area is distinct and posing its own reality…coffee shop, pizza parlor, and dry cleaners…all the same but different…in that they create many different realities. This blog is my reality.

Ruby In Town



I'm very excited that Ruby will be in town this week. I hope that we get to spend some time together even if she is coming to conduct business. For those of you that don't remember...well I wrote about her on this humble blog HERE

What is there to say? Only that Ruby is a very talented lady who has had many write-ups on her work. Well I'm not sure when her art will be hitting NYC but I'm positive that she has something showing in Los Angeles right now.

I will make sure and post some pictures of us on the town. Holla!

Bobby Fischer Dead

I was very sad to hear the news that Bobby Fischer has passed. As long time readers know I thought that Fischer was one of the greatest minds to ever play chess. I didn't agree with Fischer's view of the world...but God on the board this guy could create...a virtuoso of his craft.

If anyone has played chess seriously they have read something or heard legendary stories about Fischer. But his great battle of 21 games against Spassky has to be the greatest international wins for the United States. I put it right up there with the US Hockey team beating the Russians.

He was the youngest to ever reach the Grand Master title at 15. In the chess world that is like a 15 year old being the head of Microsoft or Apple.

In any case, I wish the man the best and hopefully he will find peace in the after life that he was never able to find here on earth.

Robert James "Bobby" Fischer (March 9, 1943 - January 17, 2008)

Random Pictures



The Rooster and Rey "El Rey" Contreras. Need I say more about this photo.



This is the latest and greatest picture of my boots.



No, the WPBT Champion doesn't get Mrs. Tripjax. Yet, she has to be one of the hottest Blogger wives I have met and she was kind enough to take a picture with me. This picture in no way does this lady justice let me tell you. I think this was taken at 4am when her husband was running over the poker table and drunk as a skunk. I remember when Tripjax told me his wife was hot I was like...this inter-dweeb has got a hot wife...pifft. But he was so very right...Long Live The Tripjaxs Family. Here is the picture of all pictures...Holla! HERE



Me getting ready to eat some grub.



Getting ready to bet with the nuts...because The Rooster never bluffs.



Rey with some of the crew getting ready to make the long journey to Barcelona Bar.

Visit to Arizona Pictures



This is a picture with my sister, Elena. What can I say, she is my heart and I miss her dearly and sometimes I wonder how we have been able to be apart for so many years.



This is a picture of the Queen Bee, my Mom and my sister. She is still my rock and best friend and there is nothing better than knowing that your mother is also your best friend. She can hear the first word out of my mouth on the phone and know where I'm at mentally...very cool.



My brother-in-law on the far left, me, Uncle Joe and my Pops. It was great seeing my Dad who has never really looked for attention for the important role he plays in the family...quiet and strong is how I look at him.



This is my brother-in-law, Tim with my nephew, Timmy. This is a great picture and was taken after Timmy got his new car that Tim built him from the ground up. My nephew is a good kid and never gives me problems...can I ask for anything more? Well yes, and I do, but I ride him because I believe in his potential.



This was one of the coolest gifts I got this x-mas. My Dad and Mom purchased this Rooster for me (and they also purchased this really nice sweatshirt) and I just thought it was the best....thank you Papa y Mami.
