HERE SHE COMES!! MONSTER RITA HEADS FOR H-TOWN!
Posted by mcmannes on September 22, 2005
Think JAWS 4. Remember how it seemed that the shark was after someone in particular – like it had some type of consciousness? Well, maybe Rita is looking for some dude from New Orleans that was evacuated to H-TOWN after her sister Katrina couldn’t find him. I mean, she’s coming like a freakin’ freight train, this chick!
Already, more than 1 million people have scuried to get out of town.
Hurricane Rita,
the now Category 5 hurricane, grew more turbulent today and has become the third most intense storm in history, the National Hurricane Center said Wednesday night.
As of 7pm tonight, Rita packed maximum sustained winds of 165 mph, according to the National Hurricane Center. I honestly didn’t think it would make it here but it looks as if she’s coming right for us..and she’s pissed, it seems!
As many as 1.3 million other people were ordered to clear out along the Gulf Coast today, particularly in New Orleans and Galveston. To avoid any repeats of the toll Hurricane Katrina took on those who didn’t evacuate when that storm hit just over three weeks ago, mandatory evacuations for Galveston went into effect at 6pm tonight!
Katrina’s winds reached 145 mph when it reached land and you thought she was pissed off? A storm this big has never hit Galveston, Texas.
It’s like Alicia, back in 1983, had a couple of kids that are looking to pick up where their mom left off! Alicia was tough but her girls are tougher. Katrina pulverized the Gulf with a body shot and now Rita’s looking to knock somone out…her target? Texas!
Of course, Texas don’t go down so easy…know what’m sayin’ pardner?

THRILL PRODUCTIONS RELOADED…
Posted by mcmannes on September 6, 2005
I have finally made a decent dent into TP. The links to the pictures and videos are almost completely done.
It’s a site that I’ve had for some time but have always been tweaking. Anyway, I have put up some videos that I produced – either ones for fun or as a producer during my time with the Houston Rockets.
Anyway, take a look…let me know what ya think.

In the Minority??? Maybe Not!
Posted by mcmannes on September 2, 2005
First off – it’s a disgusting town and city, IMHO. It’s dirty, nasty, smells of urine and feces during the summer and is argubly the most sinful city in the world. There are very few redeeming qualities about New Orleans. Please, I’m a JAZZ lover! Don’t use jazz as your argument!
I think alot of people’s viewpoints regarding inner-city blacks and whites are founded because of things like this. I’m not lumping everyone into this category but it’s truthful. Why does no one mention education, crime, family values, morals, ethics, etc…when they see a group of black people AND white people destroying their entire environment around them. It’s not only evil, it’s pure stupidity.
Why can we not talk about what kind of city that New Orleans is? Why can’t we say that the inner city black folk AND white folk have no direction and have no incentive to do anything but destroy everything around them in animalistic style in situations like this? Instead of rallying to encourage, support, redeem, uplift, and rebuild – the inner city people of New Orleans (And I won’t say a race here because it’ll be turned into something other than dialogue) destroy everything they come in contact with as if a demon has been set loose inside them. Destroy, rape, pillage, and consume everything at all times despite the circumstances. Raping a child next to a dead body is just inconceivable.
Here’s New Orleans – right here! Take a quick look…..
Jackson was en route to Louisiana for what he said was a humanitarian effort. However, he had time to open his mouth…which is usually a bad thing. He said racial injustice and indifference to black suffering was at the root of the disaster response. Seriously?
“In this same city of New Orleans where slave ships landed (Good Lord, the slave card?? AGAIN?????),” Jackson said, “where the legacy of 246 years of slavery and 100 years of Jim Crow discrimination, that legacy is unbroken today.”
Black members of Congress today also denounced the slow federal response to Hurricane Katrina. One black baseball player the other day said, “See, the problem is that white people don’t see color!!” THAT’S THE PROBLEM??? The way I see it…HONESTLY, is that my first instinct is to help, do what I can, check on my friends and family, keep up to date, etc…however, when I’m told that my President and Govt. are not responding fast enough because it’s all black people down there – well, that pisses me off!!
Anyway, I teach in a minority-based school – mostly blacks. I coach the black kids. I teach the black kids. I email the black kids, I make fun of the black kids. I tease the black kids. I’m friends with most of the parents of those black kids. I stay after school with black kids. I champion causes for these black kids and their education. I work with them after school on their athletics – these black kids. I yell at these black kids! I send black kids to the office and hope they get in trouble when they’ve been bad. I gives bonus points to black kids. I support and uplift black kids. I wear the same clothes as black kids. I talk almost the same way as black kids. I grew playing ball with virtually nothing but black kids. I donated money to help black kids but then Jesse Jackson comes out and says that I’m not doing enough or I’m not doing it fast enough because they’re not white kids, they’re black kids, well…..that eats me up inside. If he could get the guts to say that to my face………………………….I’d have 200 friends of mine tell him where to go!!
Oh Yeah… they would just happen to be black kids!
