Cheap People- Broken Soul or Losted Soul?


This is a topic, that have been bothering me for a long time. Don't get me wrong, but I'm a cheap person too. There's something wrong, that these people do, that bothers me!

I was out with some friends for 2 days, and had a great time! (see posting on Mendocino)

I noticed something about some of the people, that I know. They would never do this, b/c they're too cheap to put up the money, or not willing to.

Of course, these Cheapo's are never invited! Most people, hate these people! I look at them, as people, who just don't understand! They think they're saving, but they're cheating themselves out of life!

I can understand if immigrants' do it, and they have a big reason- Survival! Making sure, that they have enough for tomorrow, and have a specific goal in their life (One is a home!)

You see, the people, I spend my time with this week are immigrants, who are doing ok in their lives. They own businesses, self-employed, or making a good enough salary. They don't want to live poor, or act poor. It's a bad mindset to think like this!

Another type, are the ones, that had limited income for their retirement. That's acceptable! They have to budget to stay retired, and don't go back to the work force, which is understandable! I won't too! It's great to not work, and enjoy life, if one can do it! Be smart, & Manage your money well.

What bother me is that I know of a couple of people, who are rich, or you want to say Wealthy. What do I mean???? What would you say about someone, that is worth around 8-10 Millions in Real Estate, and is getting cashflows from their apartment buildings. Is that rich, or wealthy? I can tell you this! You wished you had it! If you can't relate to that, then how about someone worth a million in real estate, and saved over 200K? Still don't want to spend a dime. All they say is "No Money!" They look for all the free stuff, like newspapers, eating, shows, and movies, but they forget one thing, they lost their time! I guess, that doesn't mean anything to them, but time is not important to them!

Anyway, to get back on track, these people, don't want to spend a dime on anything! They want to "just get over on anything, or person!" They're always telling people, that they don't have money at all, which is FULL of BULLSHIT! Yeah, right! Where did all that money go??? Up their Asses??? I know, they didn't spend it on any of the 5 evils- smoking, drinking, gambling, women, and drugs, b/c they don't do those thing. Why??? B/c it cost MONEY!

These are the one, people hate the most. I don't know what they are thinking about??? They think that they don't have any money. If you see, what I see. You'll be SHOCKED! They'll steal and cheat, just to get over on anyone!

I mean C'mom, you have money! "What's up with that", as Mr. Stump would say!

My opinion is that their mindset is all twisted! Or is it like My friend, Dean told me, they broken souls, or people! To me, they're kind of lost, not know what to do!

They'll learn or haven't learn about inflation! That'll eat their incomes.

Next, I'll write about what I learn and observe watching them, and was surprised to find!





Have Anyone Had Fresh Abalone?????



Man, Was it good!!!

Like I wrote, these people (especially the men) did all the cooking, b/c they love it, and love to eat. It was totally non-stop eating and cooking!

We ate Abalone porridge (Jook, rice soup or congee), soup, marinated, and raw! If you haven't eaten fresh abalone, you're missing out! It's like "Wow! The Taste! No wonder, Asians love it!

No wonder, these people rent houses, and everyone goes to it!

As yourself, where can one get fresh abalone soup, or even abalone soup anywhere???? You CAN'T! No one sells it, or makes it for sale!

You figure, it's 100.00 a pound to buy. We're eating it for the last 2 days.

This is Really Abalone heaven, heheheh !!!

Lucky us, and everyone, that attended!



Went to Mendocino for 2 days.


My friends rented a house in Mendocino by Cabrillo Point.

There were about over 10 people staying there.

Went diving at Fort Bragg, Jack Peters Creek, and

All of us, caught Abalones for a BIG Abalone breakfast, lunch and dinner, plus more!

Besides Abalone, we had a BBQ- steaks, pork, chicken wings, corns

Something about the people, I went with. Man, these people were eating non-stop, somehow!

Since, we came back for AB diving with our catches. They have been cooking and eating almost non-stop! It was like eating heaven there!

Hey, why not! They deserved it! They work hard, and play hard!

They make money, and they enjoy it!

The cost to rent the house for 2 days, is 900.00+.

Had A Good Laugh!



I was approached by one of my roommates, which is a female. She was very friendly. More than usual. Anyway, she called by my whole name "Robert." Also, being nice too.

Well, she told me what her gay friend gave her. A hand full of DVD's. She asked me to choose one, anyone! I pick one. I couldn't lose, b/c they were all male DVD's. Her and her friend started to laugh, and I thought it was funny.

I like all my roommates. Most of them are females, but I looking for a male to fill the last room. It's nice to have some people with different personalities.

Tired, had a looooooooonnnnnggg day!  ; )

Take life, one day at a time!

Signing out, 

Rob




June 8, A Long Unexpected Day



Today, I didn't do much, at least I thought I didn't do much. 

The day started at 6am, I didn't want to get up, so I slept. Woked up at 7am, and sat around. Started planning my day. 

10am drove my roommate to the Richmond district. I was planning to go diving, but it was getting late, so I cancelled out. My roommate loves the food on Clement Street, so he was shopping for some lunch. 

11:15 am, we went to pick up some free movies pass, but went to the wrong place. Later, we founded the place and got ours free passes for "The Taking of Phelham 123,"

11:45 am, I had to stop my the San Francisco Sheriff's office to check on my eviction of my unit on June 10,. Asking about can I remove the locks myself. The answer is "Yes!"

After that, we went to the library to use the net for 2 hours. 

Went by home, by 2:30pm to have some lunch and take a nap, before I go to Oakland to look at a property at 4pm.

Viewed the property, and went to see one of the investor's own property at Point Richmond. Property was worth 1 Million before, but now, it's around 600K. 40% drop, and maybe still dropping. This is a new development there. 

Didn't make it back to San Francisco, until 7:30pm. Planning on going to a party at Jullian's in San Francisco, which starts at 7pm-9pm. Hey, I have a chance to make it there, but got a call from someone about a Free Nordic Track Machine. They want me to pick it up immediately, but I had to rescheduled it, b/c I was hungry, and wanted to eat. 

Got to the party around 8pm, they had chips with spinach dip, buffalo wings, vietnam rice rolls, Calamari, and quesadillas. Is that some foods????? Well, it's Free, so "Beggars can't be chosey!"
I was full now, and had to work, Damn it!

Finished & had to walk back to the car to go home & pick up the Nordic Track machine. I decided to call my roommate to see where's he's at. He was down the block, and I asked if he needed a ride home, since I was on my way there. In less than 3 minutes, I pick him up and drove him home. Can't have a better roommate than me, lol. (Just Joking, or Kidding!)

Pick up the Nordic Track, it was in good shape. I was happy I got it, but hope I could use it. 

After that, I had to met up with one of my roommate, for the rent. Want to penalize her, but I won't. I guess, I'm too nice of a guy. (What a stupid guy, with a dumb concept!)

Now, I'm writing my blog, finally!

What a day for the Robster! The day never ends with him. SHIT! : (


P.S. Man, I'm Pissed. I'm going diving tomorrow, for sure!

Rob Is Returning to Blogging???????

Just have been busy, and thinking about my life, and other things going on.

Unfortunately, I have to do an eviction on a long time friend (about 36 years), but that's not my fault. He was given a couple of months. What can I do?

If I wasn't his friend, he would have been "OUT" already. No one is going to tolerate this. Btw, he doesn't live there anyway. Why pay all the rent, when he's not there. Also, if he was a real friend, he wouldn't make me go through the legal process of evicting him.

Also, I've an empty room, that I like to rent out. I have to check the new rent board law in San Francisco. It's not easy to be a landlord in San Francisco. Too much pro-tenant laws to work against the landlord.

Maybe, after all this. I'll start blogging again. Something I really, really enjoy, but at times, I feel lazy.

So, will I return??????? That's the mystery of Rob................heh, heh, lol?????
