thanks alot man it worked like a charm! much much props^_-

last night was kind of one of those...make or break situations some of us really never get to experience...at least in real life. in the movies Ive seen crap likee this but never in my life has it ever happened to me before... I am an african american Male. Born and Raised in Oakland Califonia. my "Block" or turf rather back in the day when crap like that was considered cool was 98th and Birch street in oakland. from the time I was there it was always a rough place to live. but of course when you grow up in it it doesnt seem THAT bad to you even if you are aware of most of the dangers... in aznycase I am kinda side tracking but it all really just builds up towards the end anyway...Last night or this morning rather(1am or so) my friend "Machu" (Using his net alias) called me pretty drunk. he needed me to pick him up and take him home. of course I am going to do it...its 1am in the morning he OBVIOUSLY has no one else to call. and he wasnt far away so I didnt mind. I needed to get out of the house anyways(Drama) so I head towards Castro Valley(I live in San leandro which is like 3 cities away me thinks) but he told me he was waiting in the cold and was freezing. so I decide since it will take me a while anyways to get there...I will pick up some starbucks. hes also upset so I figure some java would help ya know? well as soon as I get on the block where starbucks is a cop flags me down in a crown victoria telling me to pull to the side. now just a little extra history here. me myself I didnt start really driving till last year. I am 24 and will be 25 in march(please god dont ask its embaressing just typing this-_-) I was suppose to take my driving test last monday but because of the hospital and my eyes and crap I couldnt go. have to make a new appointment and wont be fit in until march 8th. that being sai dI was ready to face the consequence for driving without a license. I am at fault for that and if he towed my car I would have deserved it. but thats not what happened. at all. there was nothing aboutthis cop that was "professional" hes got his uniform on but I swear to you he had NO BADGE ON for me to see his name, his number or any of that. he gets out of his car and slow steps towards my car. no I am not writing a fantasy novel this mother flocker walked very slowly to my car and started flashing the the light thru my window(this crap was really bright not to mnention he turned his highbeams on me and LEFT THEM ON! *Sigh* I roll down my window and the first thing he asked me was not "can I see your license and registration" he didnt ask me anything. he started pacing around my car. tapping on the window everytime he walked past one. naturally now I am scared. I have never been in THIS kind of a situation with a cop. Ive been pulled over by cops for fitting the description of people they are after(really not their fault that alot of black guys look like me. well kinda. he finally opens his flocking mouth and asks me to get out of the car. of course I do as the ass says. hes a flocking cop and I know I have no license. but the fact that he wasnt even interested in that was very very scary to me... "Boi what nationality are you?" that was the first sentence he flocking said to me. nothing else. just that. and I get a confused look on my face. now I am black but I have certin features that make you second guess sometimes(I cant help being prettier than most man...its a curse) my complextion isnt the lightest but my skin tone is lighter than most black people I know. also my eyes look as if I have asian decent(I dont. at least not that I know of) also the way I speak...well is kinda like how I am typing now. I have my ebonic moments sometimes but for the most part I sound pretty whitewashed in person. anyways yeah not your average african american. I tell him "Black" he than asked "what else lil nigga? you caint be fool blood black!" once again a confused look on my face. I dont know what to say to this guy. he is either really pissed off or looking to flock with someone. either way I was flocking terrifide...everything depended on what I did and said with this man. he started to push me around my instncts tell me "your invading my space, you need to get out of my space, I WILL flockING HURT YOU IF YOU DONT GET OUT OF MY WAY! But of course I knew thats what he was doing. he was TRYING to push me to that point. and both of us knew what would happen had I tajen the bait...yeah I could have kicked his ass. but the first blow I gave him would have landed me in a place I do not care to be in. but with everything he was doing, saying, I was so scared,confused, angry...he grabs my hair and and than pushes my head away laughing. "Punks as lil nigga. wont even do crap. lil ass biatch" flashes his light in my car again and tosses some of my books on the ground its been raining for days. they all land in puddles and pretty much all of them are destroyed. he walks off towards his car still laughing. feeling really good about himself I guess... the cop pulls off and I am standing there by my car...so angry...so so angry...I started punching a near by tree. for about 3 minutes i am going off on this tree. there was no one around to see what happened. I didnt get his license plate number, he had no badge on. my eyes still arent great so I could hardly pick this guy out from any other BLACK COP! the kicker! he was a black cop!??!! harassing me because I dont look fully black and because of how I talked and because there are a shitload of fantasy books in my backseat. there were books in there that were 90 years old...some of these were my grandfathers books from when he was younger. adventure books and mysteries and crap. classic stuff I could never find anymore....gone....just gone...I finally stopped punching the tree and just started bawling. I didnt care who heard me. I have been harassed by cops. I can deal with being harassed even by a dick cop. I could deal with a white racist cop...but I have been able to understand why me an African american male have been flocked with more by black men than anything else... theres a alittle more to this but I dont really wanna type anymore...its making me upset...its funny. as an african american I do take pride in being black. because the people who fought for me to be here and paved the way for me to have rights here. wanted me to be the way that I am. they wanted me to educate myself. learn from others. grow and evolove into something more than a color or a race or a name. I belive they wanted me to be as diverse as I am, they wanted me to absorb any an all information that would help me better myself. I believe they wanted to me to be as involved as I am with emulation and gaming and reading and writing...becuase thats what they were fighting for.... but this...Ive been dealing with people like this...black people like this for years. because I can articulate myself, because i can read shakesphere like its nothing, because I can flocking hang with some of the best in SFA3 or third strike yet enjoy sitting down and remembering why I love chronto trigger and cross...they deem(spelling?) me "not black enough" I get treated as if its the flocking 50s all over again...except its being done by my own people. its so flocking...frustrating... thats that. I cant type anymore. thanks for reading if you read it... Black man out...

Has full discography^^ guys you have no idea how much your recomendations for music have been helping me today. much much props.(Ive gotta stop saying that... Black man out!-

Dude thanks I forgot about muse! I downloaded one of their alblums maybe 3 years ago and I really dug it. everything is in queue as we speak^^ I will let you kno wwhat I think of the rest(though I can tell you now that I like radiohead alot^^)

I think I was surfing for romsets and I found a thread here that lead me to what I was looking for. I liked the forum setup though and the croud here is pretty cool. so I trolled around for a while Until I decided to just plant myself here.

I will give it a shot. the only reason I am being so anal about it is because I downloaded that TV show regenesis and I just watched the first ep. and thats the folder thats locked>.<

haha no I know what you mean. rommy use to have the same issue back in the day on our old forum. and I am sure if u made my request it would get nuts. so when you feel a random act of kindness come on just remmeber me:P

dude your designs are gorgeous. is there anyway I can get ya to make a sig for me? something with Luffy from "One piece"?

I was transfering over some files from my incoming folder to my main folder. but the flocking dog jumpped on me as I went to do this and it ended up in some random folder with Numbers and letters. I can acess the folder butu I cannot move the files back to their respective folders because it keeps saying disk might be in use and access is denied. I have at least 100gigs of space left so that aint the issue. also I keep chaging the folder properties from hidden to regular but it keeps resetting on me. anyone got any ideas?

Prince and the Revolution. "Lets go Crazy" hell yes^^

hel man make a day of it and try and do both. than when you get home SIGN ONTO LIVE AND LETS ROCKOUT TO SOME ROCKBAND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!............... Yea both Ideas sound cool bro. I say do both^^

subject really speaks for it self. I am bored with my music and want some suggestions. to kinda give you a hint of what I like these are my top ten bands or artists Iced Earth Seether Disturbed Prince Michael jackson Y&T George therogood Van halen Demons and wizards Hikaru Utada(before she sold out) so I am kinda up in the air with Genres. as long as it sounds good I dont care lol. thanks guys! Black man out!-

well I am a hardcore Otaku (wow why did I just admit that ) and I grew up with manga and anime so its damn there apart of my culture. but I am big on literature period and I can say that I have to say that I like comics a litte more than manga. most manga stories are fun and usually interesting but I lose that interest really quick because theres alot of Repitition in manga. I mean look at the shonen jump Library! I swear Naruto, Bleach, straight up almost EXACTLY like DBZ and while I know I am going to get flocking fryed for this...it gets old. dont get me wrong its like dynasty warriors ya know? if it aint broken dont fix it...but even dynasty warriors TRYS to break the mold a little. ahem lol that being said...I will always love anime and manga because its just one of my favorate things to do but I will say that I think american comics do a btter job of telling a store. even the redundant X-men comics still have more flare than bleach or naruto(all shonen jump manga/anime) btw. Rubio you have alot of skill man. very nice^^

my store is out of every model other than a random 20gig thats just been flocking sittin there for months. we havent been shipped any ps3 systems in like a month and a half. not like alot of people are asking for it here though so its interesting.

very very useful thread. ive been interested in this for a while but I have been on the fence about which to get. props man^^

*Sigh* today started out pretty ok ya know? I woke up. had some breakfast. waited for my dad to pick me up from my place and headed over to the hospice(I just feel like saying hospice I have no Idea why) got the number of one of the nurses because...well I am bad the flock assed THATS WHY!?! Did my scan and off I was. chilled at the store for a minute with the gang. shared some laughs about a few very very ignorant iidividuals who kept coming into my store talking about "When dat new madden cum out brah? Man I hear Dat O9 is Raw kid. why yall holdin out?) Yes very very VERY flocking ignorant but even that brought a smile to my face. why? I was in a good flocking mood. Until of course I get home and the flood of Drama just...happens. one of my best friends breaks up with his GF of 7 years, on top of that my friends sister was raped today but a TRUSTED friend of the family and now I cant FIND my friend to stop him from making matters worse and throwing away his life...flock... the list goes on but I dont have the stamina to try and explain it all...I wish I could do more ya know? I know I dont have any control over ANY of these scenarios but at the same time I feel as if I could do so much more for them. trust me I know this is something is kinda a issue ya know? I shouldnt try and take the weight of the world on my shoulders...I just cant help it...*sigh* I really wanted to typed out this short story I have been working so that I could see what some of the other board members thought...instead of this depressing crap. maybe tomarrow I will get around to it before the day lets on... with that being said I need some Zzz. been up since like 6am. black man out-

Dude that sucks I hope everything turns out ok. I had my scan today and I ill know the results monday. fingers crossed >.< Yea fo sho I am black^^ though my white washedness shows ALOT so it throws people the hell off lol. Your black also?

I dont start my new job till monday so I have lot of free time. also keep that manual handy when your making characters. its good to know what style is good against what ya know? also gamefaqs has a SHITLOAD of Firepro info so thats also a very VERY good reference(but I am sure you already knew that^^)
