So.......

I recently became a Knicks fan, due to my team of the Seattle Supersonics getting a name change and a new place to play (I mean REALLY? Oklahoma City?). Anyway, being a Knicks fan for the past few years has been difficult. As a Buffalo Bills fan, I'm used to losing. As a longtime Yankees fan, I know there is enough money in that payroll to make changes. Hell despite their records I believe the Nets were a better team. Anyway, I want Dwayne Wade here. NOT LEBRON. Not that I have anything against him, but I don't think he can handle NY emotionally. In Ohio he's a king. In NY he'll just be another high priced athlete. Once he has his first 4-21 shooting night with like 15 points the back page will read "LEBUM" and he will be in for the shock of his life. Mike D'Antoni is a terrible defensive coach but the Knicks should at least be able to make the playoffs with as much cap room  as they have. If not, I'll be VERY mad. VERY mad.

Beer

My first real drink was probably around 12 or 13. Being the only black guy in a group of Dominicans has its advantages. "Budweiser Papi?" who was I to say no? Besides I learned Hispanic folks get very upset if you turn down food or drink. So I said why the hell not?

from there I started drinking hood beers. 40s and stuff, plus the occasional Cisco (If you don't know then thats probably a good thing.) One day maybe 3 or 4 years ago as me and a buddy were bar hopping and looking for a place to drink Heinekens and Coronas, I said "Hey, lets go in that bar that says 'BAR'" I was changed forever.

Essex Ale House, had a beer that was called Arrogant Bastard Ale. I said shit that sounds like us, we should try some. We ran the tap out. I then asked for a Guiness because I remember the harsh taste, and it looked so smooth and frothy. And it tasted like water. Game over. Next was the epic beer journey of a lifetime...................
