Kenya's Marathon Champion Sammy Wanjiru Dies

Sammy Wanjiru is an athlete who especialized in long distance running. He had broken so many world records specially on half marathons and accomplished so much at an early age.

He won the Beijing Olympics in 2008 to become the first Kenya's marathon champion to win a gold medal.
The following years, he won the London and Chicago Marathon to have the fastest long distance records on both countries(United Kingdom and United States).
He was the youngest runner to win 4 major marathon Series.

Just recently found out about his death couple of days ago on the news after falling from the balcony at his home in Nyahururu. Authorities are uncertain about his death and unable to categorize whether its Suicide,accidental or homicide.

I think he will be remembered deeply by his people and throughout the world for his incredible talent and will become a true inspiration for all of us.

The Anti-War rally in Union Square, NYC April, 9th, 2011

I passed by in Union Square this past weekend coming from my job when I saw this huge crowd rallying for anti-war overseas. I took some pictures and videos. It made me think; A lot of people are not into politics or has no clue what our country's main concerns and problems. I don't blame them since I don't want to get involve either. I think most people are too busy with their own life agendas in their own communities which I think is the right thing to do, but at times like these where corruption is all over the place, nations coming down, Our own Government disregarding the Constitution, I think these are the times when we should all unite and get our country back to normal.
Like one of Thomas Jefferson's quote;
"Evil triumphs when good men do nothing." -Thomas Jefferson
I believe that as a citizen of our nation, it is our obligation to get involve in our current issues. I feel like even the crowd here rallying in Union Square don't have a strong grasp of politics, but they do know what's going on and how much of deep trouble we are on.
It made me realize, Is it really Humanitarian reasons why we are involved to so many wars overseas fighting Terrorism or is it Special interest of our government?
I Have so many thought in my mind, but I'm just going to keep it short for now.

The Famous Chinatown Arcade

The Arcade spot in Chinatown by Mott Street Closed down last Friday. I decided to drop by after I found out this is happening. There's was quite a lot of kids there when I came, maybe because the fact that its closing. I don't know the exact reason why they are closing down or could just be for renovation.
That Arcade spot definitely brings me back to my freshman high school days...with "Dance Dance Revolution" and "Tekken" Games. I'll waist all my dollar bills just to get the thrill of advancing to the next stage leaving myself empty pockets with no fare to get back home. Even though the place is old and has quite a lot of history, they update those arcade games and kept some of the old ones such as "pacman", galaga, and others as you enter the place.
This is the only arcade place I know that has that old school vibe or you can compare it to Dave and Busters arcades..hhmm
Is there anymore places like this in New York City and in Jersey?
I took some pictures to share this priceless memories..

Here's the front door entrance with missing letters on their billboard.
