My document title
Simply Bobby
By nature, I'm just a guy who looks for fun and enjoys meeting people. I have had quite a few hobbies in my life like Philosophy, Language study, sports (boxing, wrestling etc) as well as basketball and football. In the last few years though, I have loved traveling. I have traveled to Thailand about six times already and found that it is a place of warmth and passion. Like many other people, I found many friends from being online and through these pages you will hopefully enjoy reading about my experiences. Most of what I write will be about Thailand and NYC friends and experiences.
In a time span of a few years, I hope to travel to Cambodia, Burma and the Philipines. I may have an eye out for settling in either Cambodia, Thailand or the Philipines. As for Burma, I think the people are having a really hard time. I'd like to experience this for myself and if indeed I can help, I will.
I have written many songs as well as recorded many. I have written poetry and some short stories. It seems that I like to dabble in many things. I am, I have found out, a jack of all trades and master of none. Well, on with the website and hopefully your enjoyment!
These are from a very lovely Thai lady named Mam. She is the one in the story, "The kidnapping." She touched my heart with this gesture of kindness and friendship!
**Crazy Pete**
One of my friends just became famous-well, sort of. His name's Pete and he's one of the more kind hearted people in this
otherwise heartless world. He's full of energy and sees the world sometimes from a slightly different perpective. Well, I'll let
you find out for yourself by clicking the links below.

**John O'Brien**
(I knew John pretty well and this is the result of too much teasing by thoughtless human beings!)
Two murder/suicides strangely echoed each other. In 1993, John O'Brien asked members of his stuttering self-help group where the heart is located in a person's chest. The next day he brought a handgun to the New York subway equipment facility where he worked. He shot a co-worker in the head, killing him instantly, and then shot his supervisor in the chest, leg, abdomen, and back. The supervisor lived. O'Brien then killed himself with a shot to his heart.
O'Brien stuttered severely. He had been denied a promotion because of his speech, but co-workers didn't know whether his victims had ridiculed him. Friends described O'Brien as "an unbelievably nice guy," "quiet," who "never bothered anyone."
Trio Linked By Tragedy
John O'Brien kept mum even when he played football with acquaintances or rode the apartment elevator with longtime neighbors. There was a simple reason, according to colleagues, neighbors and family: O'Brien, 37, had a speech impediment so severe, he was too embarrassed to talk, to date or even to reach out for friends.A portrait of silent anger and isolation emerged yesterday after the Transit Authority employee apparently went berserk, killing a colleague and...

Back when I was growing up in the Sunset park area of Brooklyn, there were a large number of gangs. Actually, there were gangs in every borough. To give you an Idea what it was like back then, I have links to information, pictures and video's. I knew many of these gang bangers back then.
Thanks to
Kingklast and others for much of these links!

Combat training
I studied boxing for 2 years from coach Gregory based from the lunar boxing
club (Now defunct?).
One of the most brutal arts I ever learned or had to use in real fights.
Tony Cecchine is an exceptional coach. I studied about 2 years with him.
He also has a youtube account.
I trained with Craig Kukkuk for three years and Renzo Gracie for two years.
