On The Move

Well, what did I do this month? Quite a bit actually. Spent a little more time in Myrtle Beach and I hit the road again. First, I went back to Irvine to meet with quite a few people on various business ventures, and of course, my new love of my life, my new company. I ran down to Gateway in San Diego, to discuss the new company with Ted and a few other folks down there. Next, I hit Los Angeles, where the University of Southern California, had just opened a new Eastern Asian Studies library, where my grandfather had contributed thousands of books, and quite a few works of art. My grandmother was quite pleased to talk to all the press about this. My brother, Dave, and his family, also were visiting LA that weekend. After that, to Las Vegas, where I won another $6000. My luck is just amazing lately! Lastly, I went to Michigan to visit Rick Snyder, ex president of Gateway, and also my former boss. He is running a technology venture capital firm in Ann Arbor. Pretty cool stuff.

I’ve also updated quite a few of the sections this month. The books section has been updated with my readings for the month of March. Also, the links section has been updated with some new places that I frequent. And lastly, I’ve been experimenting with sound, so a couple of my new songs that I’ve written can be seen and heard here.

Send Me An Angel

March 28, 1999

A 
Lord I know you've heard my prayers 
D              A 
Each and every night 
A 
And I know I've heard your voice saying      
E 
everything's all right 
A 
Lord I know you're watching me 
D                    A 
And all the things I need 
A                     D 
But there's still one thing 
   B7             E 
To make it all complete      
A                 D 
Send me an angel, straight from up above 
A                                   E 
Let me feel your soothing grace and shower me with love 
A                    D 
Send me an angel, to sing my harmonies 
A                          E 
Please send a load of love especially for me

All Over The Place

I can’t tell you how many people have told me that I would be bored once I retired. Well… it hasn’t happenned yet!I went back to Sioux City for a few days to sell my house, and then on to California. First, I stopped off to spend a few days with my 95 year old grandmother. She’s a paragon of energy and health. We all could learn something from her. I also saw my father’s sister, Shirley. After that, I hopped on a Southwest flight to Las Vegas, where I saw the most awesome fight, Delahoya vs Quarte. By the time I left, I also had one $4500 on the blackjack tables, and the hotel comp’d my room and my meals!

After that, I popped in San Diego for another meeting with Ted to propose an idea for a new type of company. I think he liked it. Then, I ran into Tommy’s parents vacationing in Del Mar. I hung out in Irvine for a few days, mostly visiting with old friends. And back to Sioux City to wrap up personal effects. Then, good ole RJ came down to Myrtle Beach for a week. We played golf every day, and RJ played 36 on most days. We also wrote a very special song! Maybe, RJ will let me put it up on my home page one day. It’s kind of an Aerosmith style song. Anyways, pretty busy month, I would say.

Diamond Nipples

Riemer-Cheng
March 1999

    A              G            E                  A 
She called herself Brandy but I knew it wasn't her name 
     A             G              E               A 
That didn't really matter, it was all part of the game 
         D          C         A             D 
Strolled over to my table and asked me if I wanted a dance 
  A           G         E     A 
I didn't come into this place looking for romance 


Chorus 
        B                      F# 
She had diamond nipples, could etch her name in glass 
        B                  G# 
She had diamond nipples, a little harder than her ass 
        B                      F# 
She had diamond nipples, and a smile that was so sweet 
        B                   G# 
She had diamond nipples, no reason to be discreet      


A                G            E                 A 
Brandy liked the tips, so she called her friend Dominique 
     A            G              E    A      
They both started dancing, and I mean cheek to cheek 
     D              C             A              D 
With rings in their navels, and a tatoo on their ass 
A         G                   E           A 
Long hair swirling, and their hips moving fast 


         B                      F# 
They had diamond nipples, could etch their name in glass      
         B                  G# 
They had diamond nipples, a little harder than their ass 
         B                      F# 
They had diamond nipples, and a smile that was so sweet 
         B                   G# 
They had diamond nipples, no reason to be discreet 


   A           G       E            A 
So how do they do it?, living every day so bold 
     A        G         E                            A 
With hardly a stitch of clothing, you'd think they'd catch a cold 
D         C           A   D 
Excuse me miss, can I get change for a ten? 
    A            G    E                      A 
And save me this here table, because I'll be back again. 


         B                      F# 
They had diamond nipples, could etch their name in glass 
         B                  G# 
They had diamond nipples, a little harder than their ass 
         B                      F# 
They had diamond nipples, and a smile that was so sweet      
         B                   G# 
They had diamond nipples, no reason to be discreet 
         B                        F# 
They had diamond nipples, hardest substance known to man 
         B                            G# 
They had diamond nipples, made in the USA not Japan 
         B                    F# 
They had diamond nipples, you know they can't be beat 
         B                          G# 
They had diamond nipples, man those titties are sweet

My Retirement Begins

Wheeewww Ahhhh! Happy New Year, and I really kicked off the new year in style. I journeyed back to freezing Sioux City to meet with Ted, and guess what? I retired. Well uh, let’s call it semi retired, but nevertheless, I’m not working anymore. At least for the time being.

Sorry not too many pictures this time. I’ve been mostly hanging out in Myrtle Beach, and changing my golf swing every time I go to the driving range. I had a Super Bowl party with a lot of people from the neighborhood, but I forgot to take out the camera. Maybe next time. Here are some pictures of my house, but these shots are beginning to show the limitations of my camera. I think it’s time for a new one. I think I got the time to shop around for one. 🙂
