And now that I understand I have <span style="font-style: italic;">more than one reader</span>, let me say it again: I appreciate my readers. Notice the plural, people!!<br /><br />So, after a little Oaky Ton-related work last night, I decide to go through the WHOLE blog, which took a long time, as you can guess, because of ALL the excellent content available....ehehe.<br /><br />See, a long time ago, I kicked off this groundbreaking blog with a <a href="http://oakyton.blogspot.com/2005/12/bay-view.html">nice little piece</a> describing my move to Oakland and why I chose to live in Oaky versus all those other cities in the Bay Area.<br /><br />Lo and behold, I find comments under this humble post of mine, multiple comments from seemingly different people! I would like to share with everybody the thoughts that permeate my readers' minds-----Here are my favorites:<br /><span class="anon-comment-author"><br />Jason</span> said... <dl id="comments-block"><dd style="font-style: italic;" class="comment-body"> <p>man yo oakland sucks its nuthin like San Francisco, but anyways i live in New York the best place in America rite now nuthin worse where i live cause i live in the Bronx recognize tha</p></dd></dl>Unfortunately, Jason was shot and killed as he tried to finish his sentence. So much for the Bronx.<br /><br />Anonymous said... <dl id="comments-block"><dd style="font-style: italic;" class="comment-body"> <p>umm.yeah. oakland really does suck. you've got folks who don't have any idea what a trash can is for, you've got idiots running lights and running drugs and playing their crap rascist music loud enough to wake the dead. basically its a land of super low IQ folks who in any other community would be shunned. they intimidate by pointing guns, driving real fast and being real loud when "dey" are on the street. oh yeah. and, came here a liberal and am leaving this hell-hole more conservative then i was before. the main population here in oaktown are suckers who buy into victimhood- get over yourselves oakland you suck you will always suck.</p> </dd></dl>Umm........Jerry Brown, is that you??<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/20074401-114599849887907733?l=oakyton.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>TRexALotnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20074401.post-1145903577196377842006-04-24T11:20:00.000-07:002006-04-24T11:32:57.210-07:00This is a sad story. I did not make it to the Paramount Theatre box office in time to buy <a href="http://www.toolband.com/news/">Tool</a> tickets for this May. They haven't played a live show since 2002 and I am going to miss the Oaky show this May------<br /><br />DAMMIT!!!!!!!!<br /><br />Tickets went on sale Saturday, April 22 at 10AM but sold out within the first few minutes. I expected that but---DAMMIT! <br /><br />Whatever, I will have to buy tickets to see the <a href="http://www.thesecretmachines.com/">Secret Machines</a> on May 6 as they promote their new album, which is out in stores tomorrow. Yeah, baby. I saw the Secret Machines when they opened for the <a href="http://www.kingsofleon.com/">Kings of Leon</a> at the <a href="http://www.thefillmore.com/">Fillmore</a>. That was an incredible show----Some of the best live bands of our time. <br /><br />Maynard, if you read this blog (which is likely, since I boast 1-2 readers already), let's make a deal: I will have my man cook you some bomb-ass enchiladas the night of the show in Oakland if you send me tickets. We'll even make some delicious pinto beans and rice for your dining pleasure. Please, Maynard, please!!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/20074401-114590357719637784?l=oakyton.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>TRexALotnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20074401.post-1142626917692530162006-03-17T11:54:00.000-08:002006-03-17T12:22:23.140-08:00Hey, Mayor Brown......<a href="http://cbs5.com/local/local_story_076143808.html">Who</a> will <a href="http://www.berkeleydaily.org/text/article.cfm?issue=03-17-06&storyID=23670">protect</a> us from <a href="http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2006/03/08/MANDR.TMP">you</a>??<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/20074401-114262691769253016?l=oakyton.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>TRexALotnoreply@blogger.com0
