Player Myth #4081: The Dope Ride

Here is another of the greatest misconceptions about being a G: The Need for a Dope Ride. (Click Here for Player Myth #4080: The Need for a Dope Crib and Player Myth #4080: The Need for a Dope Crib Part II)

Now, look, I have had dope rides in my day; a mint 1963 Lincoln Continental with Suicide Doors (and I don’t mean Suits VS SuicideGirls, either), a 72 Cadillac Coupe DeVille and a 2005 Cadillac DeVille (in 2005) so I am up on what I am putting down. And I can tell you that the lion’s share of the attention you get from dope rides is from guys not girls. Usually it is some skippy “congratulating” on how “sick” you ride is followed by tales of how they “used to own” a dope ride similar. Sh*t gets tired real quick.

If you think having a dope ride will get girls stepping to you, you are in for a surprise. Even in Southern California.

Doubt me?

Next time you see a Ferrari roll by, 99 times out of 100 you are going to see it with some solo dude or some cat and his weesh buddy. Rarely if ever will you see it with a fly girl attached.

Ferrari’s and other rides at that price point simply aren’t with it in regards to swooping girls. Hell, you would need to swoop like 30,000 girls to even make it pencil out. A highly unlikely occurrence, even for the most G of International Playboys.

Another word on Ferrari’s: max you can only fit one or two girls inside. Personally, I like rides that you can fit three or four girls in, hence the need for a Lac.

Hell, when I was a young up and coming Playboy on the rise, I drove a Ford truck (mostly for low-profile purposes). Granted, I was in my heavy “transport” days and uncrowded point breaks in Norte Baja days but I still peeled fly girls like a fresh Papaya in Panama.

So what do I do these days?

Truth be told, I don’t drive much anymore. I am usually waxing too much of a headbuzz and driving is the easiest way to get yourself caught up in the “Shitstem”. Nowadays, I mostly spend my time traveling, primarily in cities where having a car is more hassle than it’s worth.

Now I never get parking tickets, get towed, get DUI’s, get busted with 100 lbs of grass in the trunk or have to pay for car washes, oil changes, new alternators, or gasoline.

If I do need a ride, I have drivers on call. My cell is literally full of town car drivers and cab drivers. In fact, the only thing I have more of in my cell, is numbers of fly girls.

(If I do have to drive to The Del Mar Racetrack or a summertime Mansion Party, I still do it in a Lac).

Miguel Cotto defeats Yuri Foreman by TKO in the 9th

Fighting for his father, who died in January, for his legion of Puerto Rican fans and for his continued standing among boxing’s elite, Miguel Cotto won the first main-event bout at the new Yankee Stadium on Saturday night and handed Yuri Foreman his first loss.

In front of 20,272 fans, victory came in a fashion both decisive and bizarre.

Cotto (35-2) compiled what his trainer called “the perfect fight,” but triumphed in large part because Foreman (28-1) slipped in the seventh round and limped the rest of the bout.

The referee stopped the fight 42 seconds into the ninth round. Cotto secured the World Boxing Association’s super welterweight belt and his fourth championship. Foreman was not lacking courage, fighting and limping, slipping and punching, until the end.

Many people are saying that because Foreman’s knee gave out that there are many questions left unanswered by the Cotto win. For me, and anyone that really knows boxing, the question is answered. Bottom line, Foreman got broken down. It doesn’t matter if it is a knee, the body or the chin. Broken down is broken down.

And I have always had an affinity for fights that end with left hooks to the body.

Still, this was one of those rare occasions when both fighters stock when up after the fight.

Foreman showed tons of heart in his loss. And very courageously, twice did not take the 5 minute break he could have. For anyone that doesn’t think there have been good Jewish boxers in the past, see: Abe Attell (Arnold “The Brain” Rothstein’s friend), Jack Kid Berg, Battling Levinsky, Maxie “Slapsie Maxie” Rosenbloom, Maxie Berger and of course the great Benny “Ghetto Wizard” Leonard, among others.

Cotto on the other hand remains one of boxing’s greatest attractions. He always has very exciting fights, win or lose. I think part of the appeal of Cotto is that it almost seems like disaster is always right around the corner for him. Sort of Gatti-esque.

The sad thing about Cotto is that it does seem like the Margarito fight and possibly loaded gloves took something out of him. We may never know how great he could have been.

The Men That Don’t Fit In by Robert W. Service

I just came across this poem by Robert W. Service called “The Men That Don’t Fit In”. My Grandfather, like many Irishmen, used to recite this poem to me, among others, when I was a young cub. Check it:

There’s a race of men that don’t fit in,
A race that can’t stay still;
So they break the hearts of kith and kin,
And they roam the world at will.
They range the field and they rove the flood,
And they climb the mountain’s crest;
Theirs is the curse of the gypsy blood,
And they don’t know how to rest.

If they just went straight they might go far;
They are strong and brave and true;
But they’re always tired of the things that are,
And they want the strange and new.
They say: “Could I find my proper groove,
What a deep mark I would make!”
So they chop and change, and each fresh move
Is only a fresh mistake.

And each forgets, as he strips and runs
With a brilliant, fitful pace,
It’s the steady, quiet, plodding ones
Who win in the lifelong race.
And each forgets that his youth has fled,
Forgets that his prime is past,
Till he stands one day, with a hope that’s dead,
In the glare of the truth at last.

He has failed, he has failed; he has missed his chance;
He has just done things by half.
Life’s been a jolly good joke on him,
And now is the time to laugh.
Ha, ha! He is one of the Legion Lost;
He was never meant to win;
He’s a rolling stone, and it’s bred in the bone;
He’s a man who won’t fit in.

Collected Poems of Robert Service

Se Hotel San Diego Joins Hundreds of Hotels Falling Into Default

An unfriendly operating climate has taken its toll on another downtown San Diego hotel property — the latest of more than 30 in the region and 400 statewide to enter some stage of default.

Operators of the 184-room Sè San Diego hotel, an upscale boutique property at 1047 Fifth Ave. that opened in 2008, confirm that the hotel’s lender, a German bank, has filed a notice of default in connection with a $72.9 million construction loan. Such notice is the initial step in a foreclosure process.

I called this one back in December 2008: Setai San Diego Hotel Almost Open.

Which reminds me, I made a friendly wager with one of my droogs that this would happen before December 2010.

Time to collect.
