Miami Vacation July 06'

My trip to Miami with wifey (who I have been with for 5yrs and counting...) was one of the best times I have ever had in my life! I didn't think I would have anywhere near the awsome time I had! I don't even know where to start. I would like to thank EXPEDIA.COM for providing us with the best hotel and car arrangements. We took off from Newark Airport on Tuesday July 25th at 6am.


...as you can see it was still dark outside...I was tired as hell since I didn't go to sleep until like 2am and we woke up at 4:15am...



The clouds was lookin hot from above and I haven't been on a plane in over 10yrs! Mad long ago. And even though I didn't cross time zones. I was still tired as hell!


This is what I was using to try to stay awake...Had to switch to Coke (as seen in my hand!)

As soon as we touched down we definitely had to sleep on the King size bed at this resort style get-away type of Hotel. It was simply amazing. It wasn't all commercialized and it was simple and elegant. There were flat screens everywhere and yet the style was still contemporary instead of modern...I was surprised at the service and style of this hotel. It was called the Circa@39 hotel. The Bar was hot as hell and there was this Trinidadian Bartender there (if you don't know I am 50% from Trinidad myself!) and he ran the whole bar. So naturally I got free drinks and I was also told where I could find the hotspots which were like right around the corner! I was right on South Beach, Miami Beach Florida! We also had a private pool at the Hotel with an exclusive entrance right into the bar area. It was really like a get-away there! I am super happy with the hotel. Oh yeah, and the beach was right across the street where they had para-sailing and jet ski's which I was unfortunately not able to do because the tide and waves were too strong due to offshore tropical storms all week, but it was sure fun to swim in! Well, here are the hotel pics!

Usually we didn't wake up until like 11am and got some breakfast and went STRAIGHT TO THE BEACH right across the street! The water was beautiful and clear. The beaches were Crazy to say the least....Now, don't look too long at me and wifey, cuz I know we are DIMES and all....

After all the Beach stuff was done, we went out to get food to eat or ordered something from a gourmet place because the Beach Takes a lot out of you if you go there everyday...and so does the drinking! But We went out to Ocean Drive where they filmed all the hot movies like Scarface and the new Miami Vice movie. The street is actually small and not even that long of a stretch. All the places over there are nice and there are some nice sights to see as well..if you know what i mean...here are some below that I was able to snap without my wifey knowing! LoL!


All I have to say is that it was simply amazing! All the people are nice in Miami Beach and none of them have accents like I thought they would. They all sound like NYC type of people! We saw all the bentlies, rolls royces, limo's and everything you can name. We saw the sickest houses right on the water at Star Island! Well, I know i am DEFINITELY going back there soon. The beach was great as you all can see! So was the food! We ate at this EXPENSIVE ass place called the Colony which was located right on Ocean Ave!!! We had steaks and all the good stuff! It was well worth it because I think it was the best steak I ever had in my ENTIRE LIFE! Well, peoples...gotta go...ask questions if you want, but that's all for now! You guys won't get to see the exclusive pics, but that's between wifey and I....haahahaha! Here are some Pics of our ride home to close it out! Peace!!!!

Carlos Baldomir Knocks out Gatti...



Yesterday I saw a brutal fight between the welterweight champ Carlos Baldomir (right, who kicked Zab Judah's ass last year in his hometown NYC) and Arturo Gatti (left). To make a long story short, Carlos Baldomir was non-stop toe-to-toe fighting with Gatti and getting the best of him in almost every round. On my scorecard, I had Gatti winning one round where the experts say he even lost that round! So Gatti got knocked out in the 9th with a crushing left hook...he staggered and got back up, but got hit by 4 more hard shots to fall again. The referee stopped the bout at 2:50 in the ningth. Now Baldomir wants to fight Floyd Mayweather JR (THE GREATEST BOXER IN THE WORLD IMO)...and Gatti is thinking retirement....I HOPE BOTH GET THEIR WISH!!!

Sugar Shane Mosely knocks out Fernando Vargas!








It was a nice fight last night that I saw at my boy's crib last night. Mosely knocked out Fernando Vargas in the 6th round with a THUNDEROUS Left hook to the face. He was having a very difficult time getting up. Then when the action began again Mosely hit him with some great shots and the referee had to step in to stop the fight. Mosely was winning every round before that easily and on all scorecards. His speed was tremendous! Will Mosely fight Mayweather Next??? We'll see...

MOTO GP 06' FOR XBOX 360 IS SICK!!!

I am back on the game shit again! Can't really help it and I'm not trying to help it. Its like being in the real world (from the movie "matrix") and being able to plug in and learn different types of programs. You can learn how to drive cars, shoot, fight, race, and fly. You can do almost anything you want to do in games and the controls and graphics are getting so life-like, that it is more stimulating than books and movies even...way more interactive; that's for sure. Well, Now they have just made a lifelike motorcycle racing simulation called MotoGP 06 for xbox 360. This game's physics, controls, and graphics are almost true to life. I am now hooked possibly for the rest of the summer... You can customize your bike, helmet, rider, leathers, and many other aspects of your bikes. All the popular bikes are here and all the popular professional riders...


....AND IN BOXING NEWS.....




Pound-for-Pound King Floyd Mayweather will not get the opportunity to fight Golden Boy Oscar De LaHoya after all. Oscar says he needs to take more time off after his great victory over Mayorga and sustaining a few minor injuries. Personally, I think its because he knows he can't beat Floyd, so he is now backing out. I wonder who Mayweather Jr. will fight next? No one knows right now...Oscar has stated that if he does fight again, it will be Mayweather, but in early 2007. I won't hold my breath for it...


And now another BIIIIIG fight is finally underway in the Heavyweight division. We have both of my favorite heavyweights about to battle it out. I really don't know who is going to win this one. It is Knockout artist Samuel "Nigerian Nightmare" Peters (right) vs. ring savy James "lights out" Toney (left). This is going to be a truly marvelous fight with the young (25yrs old) Samuel Peters who has probably the hardest punch in boxing today vs the overweight, older (40-something yrs old), but still highly talented and elusive (even at such a big weight) James Toney. It's going to be good... Fight goes down Saturday September 2nd, Showtime at 10pm...
