For some reason (probably because he's on my friend list) that stays on the top of my news feed. I can't see contributing because the first time his rent is overdue he will sell the bike. Shit, he might never even buy the damn thing. :rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:

WTF.... thats a blast of the past.... he isnt 31 (who cares)
quick story:
This was my virgin trip to sosua. he already knew some of my crew from their previous trips. being newbs and Weekend warriors my crew trusted him, except my main wing and me, we are hispanic we hated hustlers, so he only kissed the gringo's asses in the crew. He really didnt do anything shady. he had a SUV in those days, he drove dudes around, grabs hoes, etc. The crew fed him, gave him old clothes, ontop the taxi fares, im sure dudes gave him some pesos outside that (remember they are WW's)
The Last night he was chilling with the wildest and most dangerous one in my crew, he didnt pull any chic and we got to the villa. My friend wanted pussy but he wanted something wild, in steps Abel. He said he can get atleast 5 chics, and they would do every. The price $200, remember they were WWs, and newbs, in nyc a round of drinks is $200 so 200 for pussy is nothing. Guess what happened? of course he didnt show up.
wait there is more!
next year we go to sosua, a lot wiser, still wild but we learned the prices, my wing (who is dominican) said any1 pays a hoe more than $50 is getting punched in the face. We get to rhumba and guess who we see Abel. Being our 2nd trip and 1st day we said dont touch him, ignore him. He came to the crew begging for forgiveness saying he got locked that night, blah, blah. The guys remained calm and just shaked it off, I was pissed i told him if you talk to me there gonna be a problem(i was a lot more fit in those days, now i cant even crack a egg)
He hanged around, until the last night. we all grabbed out hoes for the night, and guess who was hanging around? Abel. Like a hustle he hung around the weak link the one that has a soft heart. He asked him for $20 the weak link got his wallet out to do it when the wild one in the crew and the most violent saw that.
The WO grabbed Abel by the neck and threw in street and started dropping haymakers, the whores started called the cops and security, we tryed to get out of there but the security guard motioned to take his gun out when the Violent one just got him in is face and the rest circled him, he just walked away. (8 iraq vets, 6ft+, 200lb+ dudes vs a 135lb bouncer unless he got there already shooting he had no chance)
Abel was lay bruised and bloody when the cops showed. one caught up with us but that was the 1st night i met my ms bani, who's sister was fucking the cops boss, she handled the cop, he just told us to get out of there before any1 see us.
Made one more trip in a crew after that and i prefer rolling solo haha
Good story. It would have turned out differently here in Pattaya. If a local is attacked for any reason here, 5 moto taxi guys will jump in with helmets flailing, if that is not working, 5 more will jump in and so on until the farangs/gringos are left in a bloody pile on the street. The cops will not intervene, even if they did bother to show up. Glad it worked out for you, luckily most of the motoconchistas in Sosua are a bunch of drug dealing loud mouths, and your police connection paid off this time.Quote:

I never had any interactions with him. Maybe just a head nod and he keeps going.
Abel has mellowed over the years. He's come to understand that ripping off customers isn't conducive to maintaining customers who you depend on for your livelihood. Not to say he won't pad your bill, but that's just what middle men do no matter what the industry.
One of the hustlers out there that is trouble is the young kid, kind of has some baby fat on him now. He runs up on you with "yo what's up my Nig*as!! I hate that.. He is always looking for a handout. Asking if you need any weed... This guy Abel is no problem compared to that kid. He looks like 18 or 19 years old..
yuppp. i tell everyone the story of the t shirt i saw. 5 locals beating down 1 person, and the shirt said team work.Quote:

Gofundme....how about gofuckyourself. He can do like all other motoconchos and pay a lender 200 pesos/day to own a bike. Piece of shit.
Bingo. Case closed.Quote:

I have nothing personally against this dude, but, in general, I don't really fuck with these hustlers that are lurking to score off newbies on the strip. BTW, is that a fuckin transvestite in the background in Clasicos?Quote:

There were also nights when Abel would ask for cab fare to go home as well and me being on vacation and good with the world would throw him 200 pesos for that too.
One night he was in Rumbas and asked me for a drink and I explained I had 2 nights left and spent more than my quota and was rationing what I had left so I couldn't.
He gave me a dirty look and turned his back to me. Needless to say never again did his self entitled ass get anything from me again and never will even though he has shamelessly tried every time he has seen me since. He blew it.
To be honest with you. I don't trust him.
I've been telling them for over 10 years "pesos for putas" and don't have much else to say.Quote:

A guy could start off talking about Obama and ultimately its a set-up to befriend you and ask you for money 3 days later. Growing up in NYC, it's been fairly easy for me to spot BS and much easier now that I hardly ever drink.
I don't trust any of them. Never trust a hustler or a whore.Quote:
