I'm gonna tell yall I stay up on my benefit shit just because of the fact that it's a benefit and I'd be dumb not to. I don't think I've missed a doctor, dental or eye appointment in my 12 years of working in the real world. I had an early appointment this morning. I was suppose to only be gettin' my teeth cleaned. That's until I found out I had a mouth full of cavities. With the economy the way it is and layoffs or in my case termination a possibility told homie to go ahead and hook everything up today. I called into work and told them I'll be late. The Doctor said "Your insurance gives you $1700 a year." I said, "Use it all today." The doc said that over the last few months, He's had a lot of people coming in and telling him the same thing. He says that people think Dentist are safe from the recession, but that's not the case. He's hoping that there are enough people who still have benefits to come get dental work done. The doc said, "I've had a spike in patients coming in, but I'm expecting that to only make up for the patients that I've already lost this year. Needless to say I'm numb as a mothafucka right now. I'm pretty sure that this is the last American dental visit I'll be doing. See that flyer below? Yeah, don't laugh. There ain't nothing wrong with Mexican dental work. The prices are unbelievably low. Mexican medical doctors have some good rates too. My feelings are unless you have cancer or some serious shit, you can fuck with Mexico. You just don't really wanna depend on the expensive medication there. They'll sell you counterfeit shit.

I got one last week and almost posted it here, but sometimes I just keep shit to myself. BUT I was up in the coney island this morning, getting me some chilli fries and the chick that took my order was so amazed to see one that I figured it's worth posting about. Lincolns head is still there, but replacing the lincoln memorial is that cabin. I'm too lazy to google why it was changed.This is actually the first time the U.S. penny has been changed since the "wheat cent" days. I actually collect those pennies with the wheat on the opposite side of lincoln. I'm sure I even got some indian head joints in my collection somewhere. Like I said though, this is the first change in a long time for the U.S. penny.

I want yall to see why brothas and sistas in the "D" and Michigan in general have so many fuckin' problems. I don't want this to look like a cop thing, cause it ain't. I've been riding past white and black cops for almost 2 months now. Not a single incident. Then I coast past 2 brothas in a squad car on monday and I saw the expression on their face(it was like look at that nigga, who does he think he is). My homegirl saw it too, she said, "Damn that was an evil look they gave you." Next thing you know I hear them on the speaker, "Pull over, NOW!" My homegirl couldn't believe it. I told her, "Black people pulling other black people over and down. Crabs in a bucket mentality." I've been dealing with it every since I graduated from college and entered the real world. I'm not trippin' because The ticket can be dismissed if I remove the tint. but it's just the fact that I got flicked while on the freeway on Memorial Day for having tint on my windows. and I had the windows down. If I had been in the hood fucking a bitch in my car or something, I could understand being hassled. But on this day, I wasn't. Now that I think about it, these mothafuckas should be happy a nigga is even in the city spending money and stimulating the weak economy. When people ain't around, they're services aren't needed. I could have easily spent my memorial day and money outside of the state. I've had the same tint on this car for 5 years. Notice how the back window tint is peeling and needed to be removed anyways. The officers, brothas about my age makes me and my date get out my car, frisks me(not her though because they would have had to call for a female officer) and tears the inside of my car up looking for shit(now yall know I don't ride dirty anymore). When he sees that we're legit he gives me a ticket for window tint. WINDOW TINT. Every other car on the rode has window tint like mine. I tell people about how many problems I have with just driving in Michigan and people think I'm lying. They think I'm a speeder, don't obey traffic rules and shit like that. NO, I'm just a brotha that usually has a nice looking broad in the passenger seat(when I'm not shooting for my .com site of course lol). I've admitted to you readers how I fucked up years ago by driving without insurance. But I'm a changed brotha now. You best believe that if all my shit wasn't in order, I'd be sitting in a cell right now with my car sitting in the impound collecting fees. lol, hahahahaha. I drove around in L.A. with the same tint a suspended license and expired/out of state plates for 6 months. I was dirty as a mothafucka there and expected to be ticketed. but five-0 there was understanding of a brotha. I'm convinved that here in the "D", my hometown, most people are HATERS. Too many people trying to figure out reasons and ways to fuck the next person over instead of trying to improve themselves. They don't understand that KARMA is a bad bitch though. Whatever kind of energy you put out into the world will always come back to you. I honestly believe this is why I have so much good luck in life. You know, I'm not even mad at this incident, just glad it happened to remind me how fucked up things are. I've already established the fact that I'm outta here as soon as I'm done with my 9 to 5. But now I'm feeling like when I do bounce away from Michigan, the metro "D" area ain't even gonna be a hang out destination for me. Too much shit just ain't right in Michigan nowadays. I'll just enjoy all the memories. I told yall 2 days ago they're forever and they only get better with time.

Ok, so here I go again. You can only take amatuerish shit so far. I make good money with it, enjoy doing it but I have visions of my .com being much bigger than it has been. Why do you think I came up with the "different" name FOULFOWL and not just streetpussy, hoodhoes or shit like that. I was thinking ahead to the brand and marketing it. In 2001, I was thinking a bizarro playboy/penthouse. I'm still shooting for that. It hasn't happened yet partly because I didn't know exactly how to grow and I have been too lazy to try. The way I've been running the .com parallels my 9 to 5 where I make O.K. money and happen to enjoy getting up in the morning going. I've been too comfortable and satisfied. If you look back through the .com archives, In June of 2006 I was gonna change shit after moving out of Michigan, In August 2008 I was gonna change after copping a dSLR camera. In November of 2008 I tried to scare myself to switch shit up after fucking around in a abandoned building with all kinds of crazy shit happening inside. I even tried to frighten myself in this blog with the fear of catching a disease in March of this year. None of that shit worked. I still haven't moved foward. lol, so although I sound like a fiend at this point, The broad you see up above is my final scene in front of the camera. Big changes are gonna start in July. I've already filmed all my June shit(it's gonna be an all white girl month, starting with some brand new shit with Kelly. Yall remember her). I'm gonna be dropping quite a few dollars to combine foulfowl.com and chic-chick.com during that time. I'll be marketing those 2 sites every chance I get in June. Why now? Well if you notice on my .com this month I've had a couple of flashbacks/throwbacks. 2 of my favorite "models" from over the last 8 years. Notice on my .com site on 05/20/2009 I stated I had a top 3 that I wanted to see again. Well out of the blue I saw the other 2 yesterday(I always tell yall strange things happen to ya boy). One was the first update I did on the .com and the other is a random broad that I just happened to like. Both were looking a lot fatter than years before. Still whores but they know the game now and wanted too much money for me to take more photos or do another video. I could've paid them what they wanted but sheeeit, I didn't even wanna fuck with them as sloppy as they were looking in 2009. Unlike previously when I tried to convince myself to "move on" I now feel like I'm ready to start doing better shit. The bitch up above is gonna be my next .com update(I promise It's The last amatuerish one I'm doing). You're getting a rare sneak preview. She's a chick that I met this month and have videotaped her 3 times(so what, I got hooked). I can't believe the members reaction and the new members that she is drawing to the .com I've made more off of fucking with her than any other broad I've had on the site. As far as I'm concerned though, the photos I snapped of her and the videos suck. And I'm tired of the low budget car, outside sessions and spur of the moment scenes. All that combined lets me know that I'm finally ready to step my game up.

These fucked up Detroit roads. I was on 7 mile last night and dude hit a gape in the concrete and his bike slammed onto the street.

For me, I'm not sure there could have been a better unofficial start to summer 09(Memorial Day). I'm typing this before I goto bed with sore feet, aching arms and legs that feel like they've been stomped on. This is how I like to feel at the end of the day. I feel like God gave us our body's to use. If you don't, you lose. Fishing(even if it's in the river) and hitting a few golf balls(even if it ain't a country club) make for a real decent day. The whole weekend was excellent.

My summers used to be filled with ice cream from that very same DQ. Day camp at that very same park and Little league baseball games on that very field above. 25 years ago. A whole quarter of a century ago. That Train use to seem so much bigger back then. Hell, that whole park seemed like an amusement park back then. It looks so tiny now. I mean that shit it part of the fabric that make me. It's picture perfect in my mind, just like the photos I took today. I feel blessed. Kinda like how I started the first post of the day: Couldn't have been better. The shit you do as a child seems to have very little value to you when you're young but the older you get the more valuable that shit becomes. I'm not Rich(yet) but with my MEMORIES I'm a billionaire. Bottle that shit up like wine and watch it get finer over time. But they're better than wine, because you can sip all you want and you never run out. I look at life and GOT DAMN I've had a good one so far. I owe a lot of people a lot because no matter who you are, everyone that had a part in your life, whether it has been minor or major, good or bad has sculpted you into you. I look at my almost 3 year old blog and notice how each little entry seems to be bullshit with very little value at the time I write it, but 6 months, 12 months, 18 months later I scroll back through and be so happy that I took the time to write the shit down. And not only do I myself get to enjoy the new memories, but everyone that visits this blog enjoys it with me. Hi HATERS, lol.

There are even more empty blocks than ever before. It's so green that you'd think this was virgin farm land. You would think this would be prime real estate because when I drive about 10 minutes away from these areas there's a music festival going on downtown. There's a huge bridge over the river that leads to Canada. In the neighborhoods though, All the shit it basically up for grabs. If you can deal with the knuckleheads that roam through these abandoned areas to steal and destroy shit. You could have a lot of property that can't do anything but gain value. But that's the problem, to many ignorant people that you have to deal with. With GM and Chrysler falling apart, the small business that depend on the big 3 sure to fall like dominoes behind them. The media constantly bashing the "D", the leadership in the city made to look like clowns. I'm really starting to think this whole thing is a conspiracy. Someone or some organization has been trying to clear Detroit out. Take a look at that empty space and tell my differently.

In my mind, she'she finest bitch in porn. These broads have been coming to the "D" lately gettin' that dough. Promoters fly them in, have them do a litte meet and greet session at the adult video store and then perform at a local titty bar. Carmen Hayes was here a few weeks ago, Roxy and Pinky before that. I took my ass on 8 mile to see Lacey though. I had never seen her at any of the shows in Vegas or L.A. I asked her why she never attended and Lacey said she use to go all the time when she was fresh in the game, but hasn't recently because she hasn't had any major shit to promote. These girls get their hustle on when they come to the "D" though. To get into the bar when they're here it'll run you like an extra $15.00. To take a picture with a pornstar it's about $15.00. I was telling a dude the other day that in Vegas, you don't pay a bitch for a photo. If you paid to get into the event, you can take all the photos you want. I told Lacey the same thing yesterday. I wasn't paying for a picture lol. So instead of me getting the picture that the photographer stuffs into an autographed card. I pulled out my camera, handed it to him and said I just needed a few shots for my blog readers.

Cruising through the "D", downtown today and I see a movie being shot. It happens all the time nowadays. I can remember when I would use the city scenes as backdrops for a lot of my early .com photos I would always wonder why Hollywood wasn't taking advantage of some of this scenery. Well, all it took was tax breaks from the state to bring them here. This particular set has old Cadillacs parked all down the street. My heart kinda sunk when I saw it because as I was driving to my 9 to 5 about a month ago, a movie scout had stopped me in traffic, given me a business card and told me to call him about them using my car as a prop. I'm usually the type of nigga to jump on opportunitys like that. I had called him, but blew the shit off because they wanted me to drive to a location to determine if they wanted to use my car but I had to goto work that day and I don't have any more vacation days. Plus I knew there wasn't any big money involved and tt wasn't like my face was getting in the movie. Also, I figured they wanted show quality. Apparently after seeing the set, they just wanted "original" looking joints. Yeah, I slept on that opportunity, but oh well it's just another missed one.

Yet another 2010 model that I spotted. The all new Cadillac SRX. This is kinda unusual because it's only May. Normally, one wouldn't start noticing the upcoming model year cars until July.
May 15, 2009

On my way into work this morning and I spotted my first 2010 mustang GT on the road. I'm not impressed. The price on them is right, but like the camaro it just doesn't stand out enough. I think with me personally it has a lot to do with the fact that I've seen a lot of Lambos and Ferraris on the roads over the last few years and "pony" cars just ain't hittin' anymore.

Man, the bootlegged software on my computer stopped working for some reason today. My photoshop is telling me to reinstall and I can't do that right now because I need to find a keygen so I can get a serial # but anyways...I'm feeling good as a mothafucka. Today is MAY 13th. Exactly 4 months from today I'll have reached my goal of working at #$@%" for 10 years. September 13th can't come quick enough. The fucked up thing though is I seriously doubt that the facility I work at will be operating even 2 month's from now. I think I got about a month and a half left. In a way, I wish the joint would shut down tomorrow. I'm sure it's so evident in the very little work I've been doing at my 9 to 5 since January. I've pretty much had all my shit together and in order since December. I'm sure a lot of people that read this blog think I'm bullshitting. A lot of people I know in person are doubters. The same people I was telling to own your own shit back in 2007. When you are the owner of (your home, your car, your job) no one can take it away from you. I'm telling yall. I'm 95% certain that I've set myself up on the right track to live the rest of my life like a big party. I thought I was at this point in 2006, but I just had too much unfinished shit that was keeping me from being able to concentrate and handle business with a clear mind. Since December of 2008 though, my saving and investments have been right(to me that means being able to survive at least a year on savings alone). I could lay around the crib from now until NEXT summer and have all my needs taken care of by what I got tucked away. In 2006, I probably only had a 3 month surplus of savings. Most importantly I'm now mentally ready to make some major things happen. I'll be real with yall, I had to basically retrain my way of thinking. Eventhough I've been doing my own thing on the net for almost 8 years now, Before December 08, I was still trying to convince myself that I could walk away from an easy paycheck. lol, 9 to 5 money is wonderful. There's no risk involved. You're gonna get that check every Friday. but it's a "limited" check with so many restrictions attached to getting it. Here it is, only May and I'm already out of vacation days at the 9 to 5. I got plenty of loot to go wherever I wanna go, but I can't go because if I do, I'll get fired. lol. see that's one of the restrictions involved with getting that check. Most importantly, working for someone stops you from becoming RICH. You aren't gonna get "limitless" loot working for someone else. I'm an American and the goal here is to be as successful as possible. Yall know what determines success in America, right? I look at my current coworkers who are sheeplike. Rushing to get their resumes updated and applying for new jobs. Just so they can be in the same situation they are in now: working for a company until they're not needed anymore. When I think back over my years of "working" I think what will motivate me the most to be successful as a business owner is to separate myself from the idiots and clowns that I currently work with. I have never been able to respect people with no ambition. I'm cut from a different cloth. It's almost as though there was an intentional dumbing down of the facility I work in done by management. If you still think I'm bullshitting when I tell yall I got major things planned, keep watching this blog. It's gonna be a helluva summer for ya boy JohnJuan. I'm glad I have a long running blog here and through my .com so you can see that as I evolve it wasn't just some overnight shit. To get where I'm going takes careful planning and plotting. I think I've done that well. So now what if my facility doesn't close and I do make it to my 10 year anniversary on September 13th? Well, if there is absolutely no chance of being layed off and me getting any kind of compensation(I ain't missing no money). I'll just Quit.

Out visiting in Farmington Hills and Novi, Michigan today. God, I still have to pinch myself because even after a whole month, I can't believe I'm actually driving around outside of the hood...Anyways, I spotted a 2010 cadillac CTS wagon on my way back to the hood on the freeway. Not bad at all. I could actually fuck with one of these. This might have to get put on my short list of vehicles that I will consider buying this fall.

TGIF. It was a long week, but I made it. I've kinda been looking forward to this particular weekend too. Star Trek opens today. I'm not a trekkie or anything like that, but I've always enjoyed the television shows and the motion pictures. I can remember going to the theatre as a 7 year old to see the 1st movie. and I bullshit you not, I always wondered why it didn't tell the origin. I think I was about 10 when I went to see the 2nd movie. The Wrath of Khan. It was also constantly on HBO, Cinemax and Showtime. I had just gotten cable, and I swear I must've watched that movie 25 times. Those pictures up above are GLASSES that I got from the Berkley Taco Bell that I showed you last month. These joints are at least 25 years old. When I copped them as a little boy, I bought 2 of each in the set. I used and broke one set over the years and this is the set that's left. No I don't have these joints hanging around in my crib. These are in a storage facility. I dug them out this morning after seeing that Burger King is giving away new movie glasses for $1.99 starting today. Of course I'll be copping those too.

See that top photo. It was shot on April 6th. I've been trying to do a set of time lapse photos for a minute now. For the last few years, I started to do the budding of the trees in the spring. As usual, I fucked up and missed too many days. But I went to snap a shot this morning and a squirrel was looking dead at me. I thought it made a nice shot for the blog.
May 5, 2009 too

You know, I'm kinda disappointed. I was at a stop light sitting next to that black 2010 camaro today and I wasn't impressed. It doesn't stand out enough. To be quite honest with you it looks kinda bland. It sounds even blander. maybe some exhaust pipes and rims would beef things up a bit. looking at that maro this morning though I don't think the stacks that I've been collecting for my purchase of a new car this fall will goto chevy for that.

A few days after I got my bullshit 2 year A.A. degree I walked into the Michigan Employment Security Commission(MESC) office. I was on top of the world. Kinda like I feel right now. When you look at the condition of jobs in Michigan today, those days look like easy times. See, back then, you could walk into the MESC office, register and you'd be placed on a list which the automobile companies used to hire employees. I went in 2 times, then left the state but no one ever called me with a job offer. I knew several people that had been hired that way. In the back of my mind, I had always wanted to be a Big 3 employee. Growing up in Motown, how could you not? Working for GM, Ford or Chrysler was like a badge of honor. Literally. My U of M campus was 10 minutes from Ford Motors world headquarters and as a 20 year old I'd see men and women in the area with their Ford security badges. I made it my goal to get one(now I can't wait to get rid of it). It's probably the only organization or group that I've ever wanted to be a part of. lol, I'll be 60 years old telling youngsters with pride that back in the day before I expanded Foul Fowl Entertainment and got rich I worked for such and such for 10 years. My time at the auto company will rank up there with the pride I have for My universities. As a matter of fact, I see a lot of similarities between the two. Eventhough I loved class, enjoyed learning, college just always seemed to be a waste of time to me(just like my 9 to 5 now). I could have been a walk on athlete, joined a fraternity or whatever else. I was just too preoccupied with trying to find a way to do as little as possible and not be on campus(like my day job now). I've told yall how I took a year off and travelled around the country. Even when I was living on campus I'd lust city life so much that I'd often skip classes just to spend days in hoods of Grand Rapids, Ypsilanti or Flint, Michigan. Yet I still managed to graduate 4 years after high school. Back in 1996, I probably wouldn't have taken a plant job even if one of my 2 favorite spots that you see up above had hired me. It would have just been a missed opportunity because I had the goal of getting my Bachelors degree by age 22(sounds crazy, but I did it and with just 3 years of college). I still ended up working for one of the auto companies. I actually got my job by flipping through the sunday newspaper and answering an ad(this was pre-monster.com or careerbuilders.com). I mailed my resume' to the address in the classified ad in May of 1999, got called in for an interview in August and was hired in September. 13 years ago, GM, Ford and Chrysler were invincible. Now in May, 2009 one company is bankrupt with idled plants and I predict another one will do the same by the end of this month. It's gonna be a very eventful summer. 13 years from now, I'll still be a fairly young mothafucka. It'll be interesting to look back 2009 then.

My new favorite burger. I'm hooked. I hade been passing by that mothafucka for about 6 months, but today I decided to stop and taste one. They're delicious, but I swear it felt like the arteries in my arms were clogging by the time I finished it. If yall knew how greasy, fried, fast food I ate, you'd be wondering why I haven't had a stroke or a heart attack yet.

I know I'm probably late on this. I hit the same corner stores way up too much. Sometimes the same shit sits there for months. Shopping in CVS today though I noticed these "throwback" sodas. 2 for $2.22 They're made with natural sugar or sugar cane. The same way all soda is made in mexico. The way soda was made years ago in the U.S. I cracked that mountain dew open and the difference is very evident. The throwback definitely taste better, but I don't wanna get hooked, because they'll probably stop selling it in a few months. I wish they would bring back crystal pepsi. That clear pepsi from about 20 years ago.
May 1, 2009

I couldn't believe what I had done. I woke up early this morning and decided to take my stang out to "the strip". Mothafuckas get their race on there and not saying that I would partake in anything like that, but I had a need for speed on this beautiful friday May day. As I told yall back in the fall, the stang was my winter project. I dropped a 2004 SVT cobra engine into my 2002 mustang and today I was finally gonna put it on the road. Well, it was a disaster. Typing this is kinda therapuedic for me though. I popped the hood to show my shit off as I stood with a few other cats on a secluded, long stretch of straight road. Somehow, the clasp that locks the hood down when closed had become rusted over the past few months. So when I thought I was slamming it shut, I wasn't. I get into the mustang, floor it and as soon as the car starts to accelerate, the hood slams into my windshield. I can't even tell yall how pissed off I was. I got out the car, re-slammed the hood. It locked this time and I just road on outta there to the first service center I found. I didn't really wanna file an insurance claim(the last thing I need is for my rate to go up), I pulled out cash and paid the bill and a half to have the window replaced. When riding off I couldn't stop thinking about what a good night I could have had at a booty bar with that money.
