Sup Guys, l ran from the cops Sat night like l was 17 again.

But given the situation and the attitude of a random cop to random civilians - naturally you woulda just ran to.

It was pretty fun.

Weds took Allison to work and got a ton of shit for sushi. Gotta love sushi. Homemade or from the restaurant. Played a lot of COD and messed w Magic the Gathering and watched Naruto while stuffing my face w sushi. Always a good time def. Working w friends on an offer and successfully got the accepted offer cause lm awesome. Very happy for him. Worked on writing up the offer late night and had a good time going over everything and doing paperwork.

Late night hit up Philly for Ly's birthday. Just had food and drinks at Barly and Shwe and Joe made it out. Then we followed the night up w Yakitori Boy, getting a karoake room and singing and having drinks and sushi. More sushi lol. Whatever. Happy Birthday Ly!!!!111 Had a really good time singing a lot of songs and yo.... there are so many fun songs the sing in the last yr. Its just remember them cause l dont really listen to the radio and l dont think about music that much. Just when lm driving and about to party or at the club l focus on music but lm not INTO music like l use to be. Singing is always fun and being obnoxious is always a great time. Very good time w Ly Shwe and Joe.

Thurs chilled w Allison a lot. Took her to class and later on we babysat the next door neighbors daughter. Outgoing 4 yr old girl and it was a lot of fun playing hide and seek pretending to be a monster and junk. Feeding her icecream sandwiches and working on her speech homework. Yo.... kids are a handful.

Playing some COD w the guys and yo..... just like the past COD.... lm getting bored of multiplayer fast. Its really just to play w friends. But like... its so pointless. There is no metagame when a team of 6 players arent communicating and adjusting their tactics. Actually the MOST fun l have playing that game is when there is a lot of shit talking in the lobby b4 the game starts and the opponents start camping, start holding positions, start rushing in groups and start REALLY trying to win. Thats when its exciting. Most the time - its me and my 5 friends vs a random 6 guys. Thats why clan matching is so fun but its really annoying to get everything to GET to that point. Easier to just start talking random shit to get the opponents angry so they try harder lol. The only way metagame occurs is if you are adjusting and changing to your opponent but w 6v6 and everyone just doing whatever they wanna do, you arent really playing someone, you're trying to play multiple people. So yea, go w a silencer, stay off radar and youre already at a massive advantage. l dont get why people dont realize this. When you shoot, someone runs around a corner and blasts you cause your gun is loud so add a silencer on. l dunno... meh.

So later Brown come over and we hit up Stomping Grounds to build decks we liked. Two aggro decks l really like arent expensive at all. So build this Heroic Red deck. Its 'Red Deck Wins' style but using the cheapest of the cheap red creatures to just drop in and attack relentlessly w a few blast spells. l like it because you strike first. You only really get fucked if you draw like wayyy too many lands(rather than too many lands, too little lands, not enough of a certain color of lands) and its Red and lm loyal.

The other deck is Rakdos Aggro which has been doing well in the tournament scene. Just a really fun idea and really effiective tactic overall. l really like it and will prob rock that for tournaments. We'll see.

Played at Stomping Grounds, caught up w Nick, Breslin and chilled. Good times that night def.

Friday morning took Domkey to the airport for his last international trip for a while. Had a good talk bout bboying and how the scene is now. It has changed a lot. Dropped him off and tried to sleep in the afternoon again from lack of sleep. Evening met up w EricM's and his gf and another couple and the Cigar International. Had a cigar and caught up and we talked about this girl looking like Taylor Swift. Took a pic w her and lied on instagram/facebook but of course some friends had to ruin the prank lol.

Afterwards met up w Sam and Haley for a pregame and two house parties. Met people, drank and ran around KU like l was 19 yrs old lol. That was fun. Later met up w the brothers and set up the hookah and had drinks. Chill evening and later on friends came through and turned into a small party. At 1am hit up Shorty's w some brothers, danced w some friends and ran around. Had a good hour but it wasnt anything nutty as l was just at KU a few weeks ago for homecoming lol. Still had a really fun night.

Sat woke up and hit up the Football game and sat w the KU Dance Team. Recorded their dance and good seeing them again and catching up. Crazy Felicia will be graduating and last time l'll see her as a student since l met her as Lauren's Little on the Dance team.

Bummed it like crazy sat afternoon. Drank, video games, hookah and food all afternoon. Eventually started ritual and initiated the new guys into the AXP Fraternity. Congrats guys!!! Its nice to see - always thinking bout and talking w guys about when they got in. So we were suppose to have a small party because the guys got too many noise violations and are at the brink of getting evicted. So it was suppose to be just brothers, some friends and some sorority girls.

Well we got 2 kegs and just word of mouth spread like crazy and it was a massive party. So just like homecoming - there was a mass amount of girls showing up all in one bulk lol. The sororities are allowed to be even bigger than before now and when you got 20 guys in a fraternity and 65 girls in a sorority, its nice for the guys.

So yea massive party, beer pong and shit. Had a good time and brought the hookah upstairs to keep it small. The party was filled downstairs and l REALLY just cared bout spending time w brothers. If l met cool people, thats cool too but lm not hoping to meet people. It was nice to meet a ton of AST sisters who l havent met before or who just got in that night too. Told them a lot of old stories how AXP and AST use to be in the past.


Later on some incidences occurred and me and a few brothers hit up another AST house and ended up drinking and smoking hookah w some of the girls from 1-4am. Had a really good time and glad l really got to meet and chill w AST sisters again as l havent been too in touch w them since graduating and others graduating. We messed w hookah tricks for a while and l was starting to ghost it(haunted house floor looking move) and then scoop it so l get a lil tornado that l suck up. Got it a few times lol. l'll work on it. Had a good time and me and Rob were the last brothers to leave. Glad the girls invited us over.

Ok so my running from the cops story.

So me and Rob walk out and l got my hookah in my box and we hear a cop yell 'POLICE STOP WHERE YOU'RE AT!!' but we see other people stop and made a turn and kept walking. So 2 mins later, guessing the same cop yelled at us 'POLICE STOP WHERE YOU'RE AT!!' and we look around to confirm he was saying this to us as we were a bit confused cause we werent doing anything but walking home. He screamed it to us again and something kicked in that just told me to run. l heard the cops got really bad and this cop was just yelling to random people walking home to stop in an aggravated tone of voice. l didnt do anything but just by what he was saying and his tone of voice and it being 4am - he was going to TRY to find something l did so l'd get in trouble. It really pisses me off. l've NEVER seen a cop just start barking at people in hopes they did something wrong so they could arrest them. Plus having the hookah w me - l knew l'd get questioned

'Oh hookah - what were you smoking? Let me check the box then. Hmm why does it smell like weed then if you dont smoke that?'

kinda bullshit the pissy cops say. Making shit up hoping they are right so you'll crack and say something stupid. Overall, didnt feel like dealing w a cop at 4am who is out to get people in trouble so l just said to Rob 'Run' and as we bolted, we didnt look back and l saw he wasnt sure which turns to make so l just kept saying 'follow me here - follow me here' and we ended up splitting up towards the end. The worst part was getting to Main St, it was so well lit that l thought all my zig zagging would be pointless if he saw me on Main St and would be back on track on me. l hid out under some stair well and caught my breathe. Kinda hard to breathe when l was smoking and drinking on and off ALL DAY. l wasnt drunk or anything, just a shot here, sipping on a beer there and playing w hookah tricks. It was fun tho lol. Hit back to the AXP House and passed out.

Sunday morning woke up and AST girls stopped by to chill. Got ready to head out and chilled w my brothers and sisters for a bit and said thanx for having me and pced out to visit my God Grandmother in Reading. So drove there and caught up w her and my God Uncle for a good 3 hours. Really nice talking bout old times and what the family has been up too. My God Grandmother is very social and l wouldnt be surprised thats where l get it from. She made me burgers for lunch and l gotta talk to her about the cookies she's always made me throughout my entire life. Its a certain cookie that l never found ever outside of her baking. Its an old school recipe and l tried to make it back in jr high but never did a good job l think from the dough being too thick. l wanna try again. Good seeing them and headed out for nerd night.

Got back, showered and Brown got me and we hit up Hack's for Nerd Night drafting Magic the Gathering. Right now w it being Nov, lm all about Standard rather than draft. Sept-April l'll be focused on Standard. May-Aug is about Draft as the game changes SO MUCH every Mid sept when a new cycle begins - so much applied knowledge and experience is all gone and practically doesnt apply to the new metagame.

This is also happening to Street Fighter 4 w the announcement of a big change in the game mechanics. Delayed wake up meaning l dont know EXACTLY when you are getting up off the ground to make you guess how lm attacking you as you get up. Vortex weakened to 50/50 of wake up or delayed wake up and THEN if l guessed right, then you must guess now.

Had a good time and we ordered food, standard games were happening and it was a good night.

Monday had to wait around as people came to work on the house next door and had to catch up w all my clients. As its getting colder, work slows down more and more and Dec is right around the corner where l'll be fucked. No one has time to see homes when they are buying gifts on their free time, also its cold out and people just wanna stay in. Then l gotta buy presents. lm so fucked this time of year lol. Also after presents are given out - its all bout New Years. Time flies. Its not even Thanksgiving yet but lm already excited for Jan to make money lol.

Hack came through to try to get Battlefield 4 for himself off my account as lm not interested in that game and worked on looking at building a new PC. lm undecided now. l know my PC is out of date straight up but its still fine. l use it for internet and work emails. Thats about it. A little bit of gaming but lm still able to run these games. Not at the highest settings is all. We'll see what l do. Its all about Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals. If l can save a good chunk and get stuff pretty cheap, l'll do it. Its a pretty clean PC for the most part - just want it to be beastly for the sake of being beastly lol. l have the money to do it and all but it doesnt mean l should just blow it. l've been blowing money on entertainment wayyyy too much lately. lm too relaxed w money which is really bad. Just l view money this way - if lm gonna get it anyway, might as well get it now and enjoy it longer. Why wait? Except the Xbox One - theres seriously not ONE game lm hype for to get it right now but l will be getting it eventually. But yea - l dont look at how much l just paid to fill up my tank or the price of food that l want. Its justified that lm gonna have to eat and gonna have to drive. Why save money and have no life?

Well - gonna play COD campaign just for the sake of it. Its not bad. After l beat it then l can claim that l've been every single COD on Xbox360 on Veteran difficulty lol.

Late.

November 13th 2013

Sup Guys, balancing my interest has always been pretty easy in the past. But in the last yr, its not.

And w more new interests that l would like to take on a more serious level. Not sure how lm gonna do it.

When l was younger, l played instruments and sports and played a lot. Then in 7th grade l went hardcore sports. Esp w wrestling for my school and basketball intermural the same season and still going to dance practice. College it was my fraternity, bboy practice, setting up parties and even the year on the Dance Team. Things just kinda sced themselves well not to conflict w other interests.

In the last few months l havent been dancing and l miss it. But going to practice once a week was really just useless. l would just go over my sets and try to make them perfect w details and presence. l was never that great at presence. l would like to get back into dancing cause l miss creating moves and working on power moves for fun. Its like being a little kid running around and playing Power Rangers for me when l worked on power moves(stuff like headspins). l just dont like how battles arent clear cut by a score like basketball its clear a basket gives you points and whoever has the most points win. Also how you cant really stop your opponent but its just who performs better. A reason why l never took high/long/triple jumping serious in track&field in high school. If someone can jump higher than me, theres nothing really l can do. That just sux. In basketball - l could be playing against Shaq but l COULD theoretically win. l could throw crazy shots and just happen to make all of them. Yes in dancing and high jumping, my opponent could have an off day and l could do better than usual that just puts me ahead to beat someone. But its not a good feeling to plan to win because l hope my opponent screws up rather than out playing them ya know? Not saying theres anything to change it. Thats just how it is.

Now w real estate and gaming it seemed to work out well but trying to get into multiple games competively is difficult. l dropped Starcraft 2, didnt really fall in love w Dota 2 or League of Legends on that level. Dropped Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3 and not really into Injustice. Shooters are really fun but being on a team and going by their sced isn't realistic for me as lm not gonna tell a client l cant see homes Tues evening because lm clan matching nor would l do that in general. However.... clan matching for shooters is really fun. Once when you do it, playing multiplayer just w friends against random people feels pointless. Like what am l accomplishing here? Its stiill fun but its not exciting like clan matching where you are constantly plotting and adjusting to your opponent. With Street Fighter 4, Magic the Gathering and Pokemon..... l dunno if l can do COD Ghosts Clan matching. l want to tho. But then aosrighaoirhgaio lm not absolutely destroying in anything right now. Just doing above average. But whats the point? l'll figure it out. Just venting.

Monday had a lot of work to do w clients. Just A LOT going on in general its hard to mentally remember what step and where lm at and all the info l need to remember for each client. l NOTEPAD on the computer and real life notepad like crazy. l like it tho. It eases my brain A LOT knowing, l just look at the piece of paper and am reminded where lm at. Reserved COD Ghosts and traded in GTA V. Just it was too buggy and the BIG HEISTS still never updated and thats all what l was excited about. Got $42 for it from trading it towards COD. Got Taco Bell and stuffed face and had some work w tenants fixing up some things w the home.

Played a lot of Pokemon at night and yoo... its so fun. Its just a lot of rational decision making and reading. The thing is, you only play your opponent once online and dont know which moves he picked for that Pokemon and where he invested his EV(if he wants a fast pokemon, a high health high defense pokemon ect). You just kinda hope you know their gameplan and move accordingly. Pretty much, its rational decision making and educated guessing. Plus my dirty Gengar w a lot of coverage(variety of moves to really hurt a lot of different types of Pokemon), my powerful Mewtwo also w a lot of coverage, covering 13 of the 18 types. Yveltal w some dirty tricks who covers Mewtwo's weakness. Yea just trust me. Its mad fun.

Anyway... midnight got COD Ghosts and played online w a ton of friends. Very fun, very smooth. l like the maps. Less crazy killstreaks in this game but the spawning is quite terrible as they dont care where the enemies are upon choosing where to spawn you. A friend got spawned infront of an attack dog that killed him hahahhahah. It just sux. lm glad they made Marksman Rifle its own class as l always just picked the assault rifles w 3 shot burst or single shot burst but then adding the much needed silencer reduced range(reduced velocity over distance meaning my shots do less damage over bigger distances) so l'd have to put in 3 shots or more over LONG range which sucked and close range you just pull and hope but you cant hold it down like an automatic assault rifle. But here, the range drop isnt so bad and they are just powerful in general. Tap tap dead tap tap dead. Its nice. l have a 1.84 Kill/Death Ratio - higher than every one of my friends. l mean a part of that is that lm playing w friends everytime online who do well so they cover me and reduce my deaths. Just in general, l get this game, it just flows naturally. ld like to clan match again but we'll see. l told myself l wouldnt get into a competitive shooter again because of time and because how things change every year and its pointless to memorize things. Every year a new COD comes out and the info you know on the previous COD is pretty much useless as guns change, creating your class changes, maps are new so you could almost throw everything out from the past. We'll see. Running around shooting people is just fun to joke around w the guys again and laugh bout shit and have fun blasting people together in general. Since the old days of Counter-Strike in 2000 when we first got Cable internet to the days of Rainbow Six w Brown and Domkey. Shooters are always a fun time w friends just to goof around. Laughing how we're trying to show each other shit in the middle of a match but we dont care cause we're winning by so much. Its fun.

Tues Vicky came over w Pad Thai yayyy!!!! Pad thai, drunken noodles and Tom Yum Lemongrass soup!!!!!!!!!!!11 Yo Tom Yum Lemongrass soup is my overall favorite soup. It use to be hot and sour soup but Tom Yum is spicy and it has a taste of lemon. Two of my favorite things. Thank you babe. Very thoughtful of her. We took it easy watching The Walking Dead. Napped in the afternoon and worked on Math for her for 3.5 hours. Helped her a lot and gave her a lot of practice. Math is really all about repetition. Its just easier to memorize the steps on how to solve each type of problem by doing it over and over so its second nature rather than trying to remember what it is. l mean, most the time, you could just really look at the question not as a MATH PROBLEM but as a question someone asked you on the street and rationally think it out on what makes sense to figure out the answer. Watched some Pretty Little Liars cause l love cute gossipy bitches and she pced out late night. Very nice day w Vicky def. Esp the soup hehehehehe..

Weds me and Ryan chilled during the day for some business and it was good seeing him. He's been mad busy lately and him and Lori havent been out too much lately so it was good to chill even for just a little. Got some sushi to go and watched Naruto and napped in the afternoon. Just waking up early doesnt suit me. Played COD for 6 hours straight haha yea...... just kinda zoned out. Just destroying it tho. l just understand it very well. Training Pokemon on the side. Thanx to ChrisH, l got 4 new perfect Pokemon to work on. Not really liking Blaziken and Scizor. Greninja and Gengar lm enjoying for Rating Battles 3v3(non legendary singles). Watched the movie The Wolverine and had a good night taking it easy.

Thurs hit the new office and took care of some work and did a lot of work for several clients to set up for next week. A lot of clients work a lot and its hard to find free time to get to them. Had a chill day again lol. Went 30-0 in one match in COD Ghosts w the guys. l mean... l do play w good friends who are just good at the game in general so they cover me well as l mentioned b4. While playing, l was training pokemon on the side lol. Yeaaaaa pokemon is time consuming so l need to always be working on it. Ended up passing out early.

Fri hit up the office for more paperwork and got groceries to surprise Vicky w. Spent the afternoon watching Blizzcon online while doing my work and training pokemon on the side. Very chill evening just bumming it and getting my shit done. The whole week was pretty chill thinking bout it. Just sitting at my computer, getting a lot of stuff done. Felt good. Very productive and very peaceful. Brown came by later as SteveC hit me up about a Magic the Gathering tournament Sunday at Stomping Grounds that was a Starcity Games Invitional Qualifier. So he came by and we worked on decks. He went Selensya Aggro, l went Devotion to Red and SteveC went UWR Control.

Later on hit up Rumor w DavidH and met up w more friends for free open bar 10-1130. Smashing free drinks and chilling as friends came through. Yenn and her squadron made it out along w Carolyn's posse. Tee Kim came through too as she was there working and promoting the cocktail event going on. She also had some free drink passes and passed it out to us. Thank you Tee Kim!!!! So got to catch up w her as l party w her spontanously. Carolyn's group eventually showed up and had fun going apeshit on the dance floor. Also JackK made it through and had VIP and partied w him and his squad in the VIP area by the EDM room. Brought in the girls and David and we partied in VIP for a lil bit. Good look Jack. Running around back and forth between the EDM room and Hip Hop room just dancing w friends and getting free Corona's lol. It was a good night. Partied till 2am and had a great time catching up w a lot of friends while introducing so many friends to each other. Hit home after Rumor and didnt do Whisper as l had to wake up early the next day. Picked up Vicky at 230am and we hit home only to watch Pretty Little Liars and eat a little before going to bed haha.

Sat got up and we hit up The Vault in Yardley along w Brown Joss Susan Jieun and Jieun's friend Courtney. So lunch was really bad ass. It was at a brewery and they had dope flat pizzas. Also got a board of cheese, meats and stuff and that was dope too. Wine and cheese kinda stuff. Stuffed face and got to meet Courtney. Me and Brown were actually hoping to meet her bf who was suppose to make it out since he plays Pokemon and Magic the Gathering competitively. Def someone l'd like to meet and nerd out w haha.

From there we went to see Thor 2 which was really good. Vicky really liked it and now wants to see the first one. We are just gonna run through all the modern day Marvel movies. Will def be a good run. Thor 2 was very dope tho. Stan Lee's cameo was pretty funny and l liked the ending a lot.

Hit up my house after for more food and hookah. Just bumming it and talking bout a lot of crap lol. But yea, Courtney and her bf smoke hookah so lm like l just found my new best friends lol. From there Jieun and Brown jumped in the car w me and Vicky and hit up Stomping Grounds to complete our decks for Sunday's tournament. Got some cards and checked out a Warhammer 40,000 game. Hung out for a bit and afterwards pced back home and said late to Brown and Jieun.

Me and Vicky just napped from 1030-130am lol. We're always sleepy but cuddling is the shit. No partying for sat night because we were just too beat. It was nice tho and wouldnt change it. Late night took her home.

Sunday big day - Magic the Gathering Tournament at Stomping Grounds for the Starcitygames.com Invitational Qualifier. Went Devotion to Red which hasnt been doing too well lately at tournaments but l like the concept. Good quick little red weenies hitting in early, blast shit that come into play that would block, drop Fanatic of Mogis for big devotion damage and blast them to finish if they stabalize the board. SteveC met up w me and Brown and we found Breslin and had a good time playing. 7 rounds Swiss cut to Top 8. Also sold a foiled Thoughtseize for $24 and bought Warhammer 40,000 Space Marines and paint, brushes and stuff. l just wanted to buy one set just cause l think they're cool. That game is simply to understand but its complicated in the big picture w so many units and abilities.

l ended up going 4-3. Sadly was 3-0 at the start then started getting unlucky w draws, one time even mulliganing down to 5 which happened to be the only time l won my dice roll and chose to play first. Really bad timing. Was there for almost 9 hours. Ate some chinese food, learned A LOT about the metagame currently by playing players w decks who were experienced w them. Learned A LOT about sideboarding. Its crazy how complex but quick to learn on so many elements in the game. Its nuts. Like.... its mad complicated but you can learn it quick. l think thats what draws well to Magic. Easy to play - hard to master. Just like a lot of great games. Had a great time and hit home late. Very good times w the guys of Scumbag Squad and lm hyped to play more. There are two decks lm excited bout now. Rakdos Aggro and Heroic Red. Both aggro decks but Rakdos has more flexibility which is why it won that tournament along w a HUGE Grand Prix 731 player tournament last week. We'll see.

Monday was a big work day. Sending listings, sced showings, figuring out homes and starting negotiations. Getting the toilet fixed next door and working payments and insurance companies for having a dehumidifyer. Yea just figuring out a lot of stuff. Was very productive tho. Playing some COD w the guys and reading up on Magic the Gathering. Gaming and work all day and night. Pretty simply day.

Tuesday Vicky came over early and had a full day w her. We went out to get hibachi and it was amazing as always at A1 steakhouse in Langhorne. Stuffed face and then hit up Hmart and got a ton of food for $40. Love all the food l got.

Worked on painting Warhammer 40,000 Space Marines and it was a lot of fun tho takes much longer than you expect. Its the details that make it look so good and exciting to make. l DEF see why people feel personal to their army since you build them, choose their positions, pick which weapons a few special ones use - in this case the Sergant(picks between a few weapons) and heavy weapons guy(picks between a rocket launcher like thing and flamethrower) which influence the game. Then you paint them and add small things to make it more detailed. Decals, weapons and junk on the sides.

Spent some time working on math for her. Played some COD while she answered problems and we worked together and she def improved a noticeable amount. Makes me happy my work is helping her out. lm sure she'll do fine when her testing comes.

Stuffed more face making TOM YUM LEMONGRASS SOUP!!!!!!!!!!1111 So good!!! Had a fun time making it and yoooo its seriously my fav soup. Just spicy and lemony lol. l was in a great mood. Watching The Walking Dead and taking it easy. Napped and she pced out at 1am or so. very nice night w her.

Now been up working on details of the Space Marines and reading up on Magic the Gathering. Got a lot of work today so gotta sleep.

Late.
