[Astcloud11]

Black, Haitian by heritage, Male... Born in the Miami Gardens area, lived around NW 183rd ST and 2nd Ave and moved to NW 186th DR and 7th Ave so I've always been within 10 minutes of Dolphin Stadium my whole life. Grew up loving all teams Miami more and more, to the point where i have a tremendous pride in anything that says Miami in it. I love me some canes and phins no matter win or lose. Although I am a huge football fan, I am also a band geek (did Marching band for Norland in high school, was band captain/section leader). Actually went to school with Duke and watched nearly every game he played as a Vike. Wanted to go to FAMU and major in Music for college but things didn't work out.
So currently I'm living in Eastern NC (MCAS Cherry Point) as an active duty USMC Avionics repairman. Visited a couple high school football games and they are TRASH and boring compared to Miami games. The first game that I ever went to that WASN'T in Miami, happened to be the game against Duke with the return (no, I wasn't waiting for Golden to be fired, it was a coincidence). Amazing experience and definitely was worth the drive. Unfortunately I'm yet to have the opportunity to go to a Canes vs FSU game.

Muslim.

Interesting... I'm a Fan of Malcolm X and most people would frown on that because they see him as a radical racist... but he was a smart dude and once he realize that Religion had no racial limits.. meaning when he realize that he had white, red, yellow and brown Muslim brothers it caused him his life... I'm Christian but think that Malcom and Gandhi had some wisdom that we all could learn from..

Some Gandhi quotes that is relative to all Races, Gender and Religions:

"You must be the change you wish to see in the world."

"The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong."

"Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony. "

I am not well versed in this, but didn't Malcolm maintain the call for a separate black nation even after he broke with The Nation and became a Sunni?

Mydas77 - AA male of Caribbean decent (trinijamerica). Grew up in Miami and have been a canes fan since birth. Got my BA from UM. Met my wife at UM. Attended UM with my sister, who was a bad *** 800 meter runner for coach Deem. I work as a lobbyists and political manager for an energy company in Pittsburgh.

Big up to all the vets. You are better men and women than me. Thanks for your service.

Thanks for starting this thread. It also feels good to not be arguing about coaches for a change. Feels like we have been arguing about coaches for a decade. Let's hope CMR can keep us united behind him.

Yes..but he wanted to establish his new movement on his own .. to avoid anymore friction with the Nation but even say he would eventually open to all Muslims... however he didn't live long enough to follow through with that...

[motorcitycane]

Black Male, grew up in Detroits East Side (East Warren and Maryland Avenue if your familiar with Detroit) went to the Navy. Medically retired in 2014 PTSD.

CURRENT Occupation
Since 14 I've begun work for a hedge fund manager. Started out as a sales agent. Currently we trade in 86 different futures markets all commodities though our bread and butter is crude oil, heating oil, natural gas, doesn't matter if oil goes up or down we still gain capital. (People always say oil sucks. Yeah not for us) ask our parent company Saudi Aramco if oil sucks. In a nutshell I'm responsible acquiring qualified candidates to put invest into the market and seeking people who want to become shareholders.

Currently I seek commission based only sales agents who have contact with high net worth individuals (all of our client base) to just put me in contact with who they know and I'll do the rest. Conference call or whatever. We do 10% commission for all deals. All investments with us start at 100k and up. So people can keep their day jobs and still get checks from us. I love it so far and I've put some of my family's money into the company so definitely not the guy just telling people stuff I don't have my own money in. My family put in 500k in '14 we've been up 60-80% roi on that money every year. Which is our average. We are a private firm and if you want info pm your email I'll send you some information about us.

Enough with the work stuff lol

I currently travel a lot for business so I have a few properties around the country. When I'm not currently staying at them I have them listed on airbnb,homeaway and vbro just on the side. Usually run from 500-3000 a night depending on which location.
I have a high rise condo in Isla Verde beach in PR, I've got a unit on Biscayne in Miami right directly across from AA arena, I have a large home 8 BR, 14 Ba in Alpharetta,GA,
I have a home in Naples, FL (Pelican Bay) where our U.S. corporate HQ is.

I have a Penthouse Condo a block away from the Las Vegas strip. If CIS family is traveling I'm open to renting my places out to you guys as long as I'm not currently there.

Overseas I rent two properties one in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia and the other in Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, where I'll be for the entire Olympics.

Thats enough about me.
Too some photos last night from my current situation out here in Vegas. Like I said all properties I'm open to renting out for your vacation. CIS fam.

I'm a canes fan football, Michigan State fan basketball (mother went there brother played there) Pistons, Lions, Tigers, Red Wings my other squads.

It's cool seeing how many great people are in CIS as a whole.
