Happy coincidence, my wife honestly picked every kids name. And thanks, I think I'll keep her around.
Sup fellas George aka GMONEY15 here. Born and raised in New Haven CT. I am 40 something years of age. Probably the oldest Cat here. However, don't let my age fool you, I can still get down and don't back down from Nada I Spent time in the Air Force. After I got out I lived in Phoenix and Mesa AZ for 13 years before I relocated to Aisa. I am now living and working here in Angeles City Philippines for the past 4 1/2 years as a Collections Manager. Divorced for over 15 years. I have 2 great kids. 23 year old daughter ( Still my princess ) and a 21 year old ( Bad ass ) son.
wait, don't you mean our first black guy? Don't you live in Idaho? That means either A) you are white, or B) its not safe to go outside.....

also, I have a black soul.... As in I murder kittens, deep fry then and feed then to other kittens.... I think, therefore that I should qualify as "black"
right, but in Compton you are allowed to be black.... In Idaho you're not. btw, get the man an avatar already, you've been slacking lol
Damn it all these coaching changes. Can we just get 12 that will stick it out because it's fun to play you guys? GMONEY 15 that Avi is kinda sad though. I'll work on a new one for ya shortly
Also, have you ever been to Moscow? Plenty of black guys here (thanks you the UofI) and 8 miles from WSU's campus. Lived here 30 outta 30 years my friend. I think I know I'm allowed to be black in Idaho. I wonder if you've ever been to Idaho...? I'm just sayin' it's more dangerous to step outside in Compton than it is in Moscow. Anyway, whatta you know 'bout being black?!
you might remember that I am right up the road in Spokane...... I am teasing about Idaho because the KKK used to have their HQ up in Hayden about 45 minutes from Spokane. I realize that is hours from Moscow, I am mostly just yanking your chain. as far as knowing about "being black" I don't, because I am white, so I wouldn't pretend to have a full understanding of growing up as a minority. I will say my kids don't even think of color/race with regards to people so I think generationally we are headed in the right direction. As far as exposure and knowing people of various minority groups, I was in the army so I knew, hung out with, and depended on folks of all types from Puerto Ricans to Hawaiians to Mexicans to black guys from NYC to white guys with confederate flags on their wall. That time for me was awesome since where I grew up (Spokane) it is pretty much 95% white.
I'm kidding too of course! Don't think I took offense, I never am serious in racial debates as it just doesn't matter to me who you are unless you're blatantly racist. I do like to prod though! It was interesting going up to Sandpoint/Hayden for high school football/bball games when I played. My brother, dad and friend all went into a fast food restaurant up there, got their order taken and then got ignored after that. 45 minutes... 3 requests, several other served customers... no food. I never had that issue personally but I definitely have had times where I didn't feel safe up there. "SpoCompton" is 95% white? Classic! Definitely thought it was a little bit more balanced than that. Still funny that people around here call it SpoCompton. I'm like "homie, no. It's not "SpoCompton" until they have chain-link fences around every building... including the church, and you got a black dude sippin' Kool-Aid out of the jug at work..." Tell me when you see that in Spokane!
Spokane is more diverse now than 20 years ago when I was a kid..... spokompton was coined when I was a kid. It was a joke.... Whenever someone would be like "you don't know me! I grew up on the east side of town!" we'd laugh and be like, yeah, east side of spokompton, you must be hard.....
