April 30th 2014

Sup Guys, this weekend l got to spend a lot of time w so many old friends and new friends.

It was quite amazing.

Weds night l ended w a lot of Street Fighter 4 lol. After next week, lm gonna take a lil mental break from the game and focus on studying more for my exams.

Thurs l hit up Kutztown to visit a lot of people. Started off meeting up at the fraternity house and EricM met up and we smoked hookah, had champagne w the brothers and got a text from Rich where to meet up. So me and Eric jumped in my car and met up w RichL DaveC and MattC at 1760 for wings and drinks. First time seeing Rich and Dave in forever!! Eric and Matt l usually see when l visit Kutztown to see the current brothers and my god grandmother.

REALLY GOOD TIME catching up w them. Just talked about everything. So many stories about our days at Kutztown University and how much things have and havent changed. Its just like l saw them last week tho. Crazy my friends having kids now, in the world. lm not ready for it personally at all. Finances alone, lm not ready. But yea, we ended up just sticking around longer even long after we were finished eating just to talk. Thank you Rich for the food and drinks. We plan to hopefully meet up again soon this summer for fishing, maybe AC and Delilahs if anything. l know having kids, time is highly rare compared to before so hopefully  we can find a set date. It is rough tho living far from old friends and work sceds and w some now, kids. Its nice tho we still find time tho and that we are still the same together.

Later on, Matt and Eric came back w me to the AXP house to bum it and just talk. Met up w the brothers, drank and smoked hookah for a while and l got mad tired. Prob from food coma. So we set up beer pong and ahhhh..... me and Eric went 4-0 against other brothers. First game l hit the same cup Eric hit after his first shot to win game 1... also did it again on our second shot on game 3 lol. l prob play beer pong a total of 10 days a yr now compared to every single fri and sat and l still got it. Its such a stupid game but theres something about it that makes winning feel so good. Prob the competitiveness and the shit talking. Hung out till 4am w everyone and passed out a bit past 4am.


Friday woke up and hit my God-Grandmother's place and ate and talked w her. Planned to stay like 2 hours or so but we just talked and caught up on so much l ended up staying a bit past 4 hours. Shes very social and shes always been very rational. Talked bout work, the future and just life perspective in general. But yea, just a REALLY good talk and glad l got to see her. l hope to visit her a couple of times this summer and l'll try to see Eric Rich Matt Dave and anyone else somewhat around the area when l do. l wanted to visit her along w my old KU group and the AXP guys in Feb and in March but every weekend something was happening. Either way, still better to see everyone in April than no plan at all.

Hit back to the house and chilled a lil before heading out to watch Greek Sing to end Greek Week. The guys were paired w ZTA who when l was still in school, me and LaurenS made the 1st section of the dance and the 3rd section and we won Greek Sing. The performances were fun to watch. Superheroes theme but it was just the 5 Avengers. They had Iron-Man. They ended up also winning Greek Week so we were just expecting an insane party. The guys were so happy lol.

So brought my champagne and hookah over to the ZTA house and very dope house party lol. So had a really fun time dancing, took a lot of candid pics, laughing w the guys and it was just really really nice seeing it all again. Met a lot of cool people, some who dont live too far from me and had just a really good 3 hours partying. Nothing out of the ordinary, just dancing and drinking, more social area was the kitchen.

Late night ended up back at the AXP house and just had a really good time chilling. Lit the hookah, had a glass of water on rocks and just bummed it. Laughing w the guys, talking bout all the things happening now, how things changed and stuff from the past. Really good time w the brothers and thank you guys for having me over as always. l really enjoyed being back. Nostalgia is just nice lol.

Late late night hit back home and ate and slept.


Sat woke up rushing to pack my PC and hit up NY for Team PIE's King of New York B League to determine the 2 placement spots into A League. So set up my stream and holy shit it was a mess figuring out internet shit and the external hotspot MarkA loaned me. Got it working and thanx to some friends, got my stream running. Had a good time commentating w friends and meeting new people. Met a lot of NY people of course and good to chill w Team PIE again. First time chilling w them outside a NEC event lol. Also cool to see Art as well as he's been helping me a lot w streaming in general. Got my double headsets working and enjoyed the time watching matches. When matches were done, played Smug a bunch of times and learned a lot and also learned a lot playing against Glitch. Both high level players of the NY scene. Good job Andy as always as he does a really good job setting up events and having things run smoothly in NY. Hit back and oh man, NY traffic, its atleast exciting haha, better than stop and go in slow traffic. l like the aggressiveness. Kinda like a game, just w my car that l hope doesnt get hit.

Hit back to Vicky's and was gonna go out after but ended up eating fried shrimp(awesome) and watching shows and passing out w her. Had a chill night and bummed it for a while and left late night. l still def have FOMA (fear of missing out) but what l realize is.... what l fear of missing out is time w my girlfriend. It really does suck some nights when l see a lot of couples together and lm like 7th wheel or whatever l am lol. Yea its nice l can run around and mingle and do my own thing, dance w whoever and just chill but it is sad sometimes that shes not w me. l just wanted to be w her sat night and so l havent changed cause l did what l wanted to do the most on my weekend. If l was out in Philly, l was missing out on time w her.


Sunday l straight bummed it hardcore. Did some work, made some calls, some emails and then yo... just sat, watched and read up on Street Fighter. Watching History Channel. Doing nothing. l drove around SO MUCH thurs-sat, l had to just chill. My body and mental state was just in a level of aorighaoirghaio. Enjoyed my Sunday of dullness. It was peaceful. Lately.... l love peaceful moments. Its just so nice. l feel so old saying it but its just so nice. Peace and quiet lol. My body is always aching, lm always having headaches. l needed to just mentally be a sloth. Sunday was awesome. l got what needed to be done for work. Everything else. Meh. Didnt care.

Monday hit up Bed Bath Beyond for more black drapes to help me sleep during the day cause lm a Vampire lol. Also got a gift card for clients and hit home and just straight up played a lot of Street Fighter 4. Havent been doing as well lately. Keep trying out new theories. l dunno if l should just keep to what l was doing as l was doing really well, up to 80% win rates or if l should keep trying out new ideas. The thing is.... all my ideas are set ups on fearful opponents. l dont have enough bait set ups. Also.... l feel like if l just keep my ideas as they are(tho much improved to my past), l wont improve. If lm content w 80% wins, l'll just stay at 80% wins. If l play w new ideas, yea l'll fail here and there and go to 60% wins some nights but then maybe l'll discover something and go up to 90% wins. We'll see. l already got new ideas for when Ultra drops. l've been mentally preparing for Ultra Street Fighter 4 for a while now. Just need the game to come out so l can actually try out my ideas lol.

Tues Vicky came over and yayyy she brought Tom Yum Lemon Soup!!!!!!!111 She brought a diff Thai dish that wasnt bad. But yeeeooo Tom Yum Soupppaiorsughaiorghaiorhgoiahrgioahrgioahgoiahgioahgioa MY FAVORITE SOUP IN THE WORLD - which she also introduced to me since l like lemon and like spicy lol. Its seriously so damn good, l need to buy paste or mix for it to have it whenever. Anyway.... we kinda had a super bum day. Well... there was work in there, l was working anyway lol. But yea, watching Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood like crazy and finished it. We will have to watch the one movie that follows it as well that takes place inbetween the series. We may just watch the first Fullmetal Alchemist anime but may just start on Attack on Titan. We'll see. We made more food later on and lm glad we're really cooking stuff again. Cuddled and bummed it late night and ahhh so nice. l love legs lol. l loved the day and night w her but it still felt so short lol. But l guess thats what makes our time valuable together.


Weds woke up early w a headache. Slept on my left arm like crazy and l swear l thought this time l really had to get it amputated. It didnt have blood flow for like 5 mins lol. l was like holy shit. The pain. Chilled all day, hitting up clients and trying to figure out when my shortsale will happen. No luck yet. Damn banks. But its a shortsale.... Had house showings w Ivan and Grase in Doylestown and Chalfont and they're always nice to show houses w. Had some laughs and thoroughly went through a certain home. Hit home and got McDonalds and holy shit traffic. The storm sucked. My 30 min drive turned into an hour and half. Sucked big time.

Just been watching Next Level in NY which Smug won and talking w Vicky on facebook chat. Gonna play some Street Fighter 4, just Cammy tonight, gonna let my brain chill.


Late.

April 24th 2014

Sup Guys, ever been in a situation where you're mad tired but you're hungry?

l end up eating in my sleep.

When l wake up in the morning and gotta pee really bad but wanna go back to sleep.

l lay there in pain for about 10 mins contemplating if l should just go pee and eventually go pee.

K my week.

Weds morning yayyyy woke up at 645am and got 2 hours of sleep cause Brown and Jieun were picking me up so l could help move furniture and stuff. Actually it was just mostly stuff. Gahhh... so hit up NJ and moved stuffed from her old place into the Uhaul and had a chill ride to Philly for bout 2 hours w Brown until moving stuff back into her Philly spot. Moving blows so much lol. But yea..... every person helping helps a lot when moving and it was Brown and Jieun so l had a good time gossiping w them lol. lm such a diva but lm nosey. We got the bed stuck a lil bit and ughhh.... Geometry is a bitch. l am not a laborous person.

So afterwards, l had to get my car from Cafe Soho so we went there and ate their awesome wings and met up w Allison. Good lunch after all that hard work. Thank you guys for the meal. Took my car and hit over Vicky's. So we were gonna hit up AC w a room at Harrah's for 2 nights and do Harrah's The Pool at night and then do Haven nightclub on Thurs but she sadly got sick and the rooms everywhere were booked like crazy. Its ok, it happens. l was physically so tired from partying on the weekend, the Zoo on Monday and then moving stuff earlier that day.... l was bummed but l do like my rest. We just chilled and watched Roll Models lol, l enjoy it. Life about gogo dancers pretty much. Interesting show and oh man..... high maintence girls... l dunno how people have the energy for it. lm too lazy. Had a good evening w the girlfriend and glad l still got to see her if anything.

Hit home and just ended the night w a ton of Street Fighter 4 till early morning w Akuma. Same old stuff. Viewers trying to train me to work on footsies and no tic throwing if l land the jabs lol. Good training actually. Very good times w the viewers. Always loving Street Fighter lol.


DOESNT BROWN LOOK LIKE ERIC SNOWDEN?!


Thurs woke up mad late. Enjoyed it. Watched my shows, Vikings and stuff and played more Street Fighter 4 w Cammy. l really really do enjoy playing w her and l do pretty well for not having her as my Main. Later on, stopped by Domkey's to chill for a lil and then took him to the airport as he was judging a jam in Indianpolis. Hit home early morning and slept.



Fri woke up later on as Allison needed a ride for to Philly to run errands. So had a good evening signing paperwork for her new place this August in Philly. Dropped her off at work and then hit up Best Buy back home to get a new headset for streaming. Did my research and went for the MLG headset. Just $60 and its mad snug. A lot of specific volume features, l prob wont be using but nice to have. Its all about comfort for me. If l was playing a shooter, yea bass, direction, game volume - chat volume adjustments are very crucial but lm using the headset for streaming Street Fighter 4. l just want something mad comfy which it is.

Brown and Jieun were actually there by chance and chilled w them as we bought shit. Hit home to smoke hookah w Rita as Rita was back home and it was good to catch up w her. Always nice to chill w the hookah, tea and talk. Chill evening tho quick w Rita and her poofy cheeks lol from meds.

Afterwards, pced out to get Brown Jieun and Adam and met up at Mike's. So pregamed there and met his friend Dhruv and the 6 of us had a nice 2 hour pregame. l love pregame. So lit the hookah, mixed the drinks and enjoyed 2 hours of hanging out, talking and well..... ended up playing drinking games w mix drinks tho we didnt have enough chaser lol. Soooo that ended up hurting. Playing up and down the river, fuck you pyramid and texas holdem. Got pretty dizzy. Usually pregame is just a nice social time for me w some drinks to feel a lil lil bit of alc but its just nice before going out together ya know? l just really like pregame haha.

We hit up Whisper where Mike and Dhruv both got a bottle each. More friends came through and introduced people best l could, at the tables and on the dance floor. Its easier of course to introduce everyone at pregame but l did my best. Had a good time on the dance floor w friends and met a few of Sam's friends. Mika l think her name is spelled and pronounced... VERY FUN to dance w lol.

The creepers were lingering around. You know... the guys who just dance near girls dancing but arent dancing WITH the girls... they just linger there hoping she'll just go w it or maybe shes mad drunk and some miracle will happen. l dunno when this started happening but its like a thing now... these lost souls that just wander the dance floor. l feel old as fuck saying it but.... back in the day, you just went for it or you didnt and that was it. No one ever just danced by someone they wanted to dance w/fuck. It just seems SO COWARDLY to do this. Oh... and it doesnt work out lol.

Fun times tho w all my friends. Victor and Alex also met up w us. Other promoters made it out. And yayyyy got too drunk lol. Had to take a seat. Use ice to cool me down. Got into an ice throwing fight and then back out to the dance floor. For 3 hours of partying..... it was pretty insane. We just had such a fun group. Physically was burnt out tho.

Ended the night getting Wawa and then dropped off one of my fav dancing buddies Sam and then took home Adam Brown and Jieun. Showered and destroyed this Italian hoagie before passing out at 7am lol.


Sat had house showings early w Ivan and Grace. Like a champ even w a crazy night the night before. My body can handle it. Went really really well and yea..... def really happy we looked at this particular house. Been making mad emails about it since. Rushed to get a card and gift and then headed home to change into a suit then right back out for Vee's Father's Surprise birthday.

So got there just in time and awww yeaaa cocktail hour.... gotta love it. Yooo... so VERDI SPUMANTE SOOO DAMN GOOD!!! It was the champagne l really liked at Vee and Dan's wedding. W a single rasberry in it which l dunno if its placebo or what but it makes it taste better lol. l always fall for placebo. So met up w Vee Dan Serena and allllll of the generation of family members Vee's age range of her cousins(theres a good amount). Caught up w everyone, talking w some about competitive gaming and Street Fighter specifically. Drank and ate and had a good evening as we were waiting on Vee's Father to arrive. Gave the surprise and then it was dinner and dancing.

Vee and Serena gave really good speeches about their Father and had a really good dinner. Steak..... was dopage. Gotta love it w mashpotatoes. It was just enough that every bite could have mashpotatoes w it. Had fun doing the cambodian version of the electric slide lol and had a good time socializing by the bar. Chris suggested shots and me and Dan joined in and did a good amount of drinking through the night. But yea... call me a bitch, dont even care.... VERDI SPUMANTE lol that was my overall drink of choice that night. lm def buying a bottle soon w rasberries.

Taking selfies and pictures for everyone and just being there w the whole family in general was really nice. It was def a really good night and a little switch up from my usual sat night. Thank you Vee for inviting me!! Her entire family has always been an extended family to me. Crazy l've been around them for 10 years now.


Sunday yo - l just straight up bummed it. Woke up late as shit. Just watching Norcal Street Fighter 4 Top 8 and just messed w my new headset. Turtle Beach PX22. Very dope. Very comfy. Umm yea lol just did nothing but watch Street Fighter 4 and did a lot of reading. Just had a good time relaxing.


Monday had a lot of work to start the day tho starting off quite late. Catching up w clients and stuff. Nothing new. Later on, hit up Karen's hotel and we got food in Center City. So walked around and we ended up at 500 Degrees, right next to the Rumor. Destroyed these burgers and holy shit, they look kinda small but they fill like crazy. Really good burgers tho def. We walked back and smoked hookah and played a ton of games. Well...... lost to Karen 3-0 in Chess. GAHHH lm actually really butt hurt and want my vengence. l focused too much on board control and she would ALWAYS SLIP in and put me in check and then harass w a Knight and Queen or a Rook and Queen and checkmate me. That aroigharoighao lm quite biter. Messed w some Blackjack odds and Texas Hold'em theories and smoked hookah. Had a really good time chilling and playing and sad shes leaving Philly. Her project is done so Friday shes out and off to Hawaii. Glad l got to see her these last 2 weeks tho before she left. l do need to play her again in Chess again. Left at 11pm and got Vicky and we just hit back and watched some tv and slept early.. like 1am.


Tues woke up at 7am and watched Game of Thrones. Couldnt go on Facebook news feed till l watched it because too many of my friends are on that pure jackass level and just write shit like 'OMG BLAH BLAH IS DEAD YAYY' and ruin shit too quick. l was sooo pissed last week when l got spoiled.

We made breakfast, well mostly her lol and had omelets and watched some Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood and bummed it. Got mad dizzy, blacked out for a lil bit and almost fell over. Napped more at 1130-230pm and then we headed out. Got my oil changed, hit up the mall and looked to replace her Meoow shirt for a XS and find me nice V necks. Got 2 but its more than just color. Some just look right, some dont. Hit up MarkA's martial arts studio and picked up his CLEAR hotspot thank you Mark!! Need it for streaming this sat at NY.

Later on we hit up Newtown for more stuff lol. Big day l know. We got cupcakes at the cupcake place we always do and yooooo they're always banging. Also got groceries. Got crackers, pierogies, bagels and baby spinach w arugula. Sour cream and cream cheese for now only the pierogies and bagels but for the smoked salmon so l can make a nice dish.

Hit back and we had a good evening cooking like we use to. She pointed a while ago we dont cook from near scratch like we use to. We kinda just yolo whatevers in the fridge and do canned stuff and junk lol. l mean it is exhausting to maintain crazy dinners all the time but yea, we've been slacking lately. She made the congee and fried rice and did a really good job as always. l made my cracker, salmon and cream cheese, sour cream dish and yoooo lm a 5 star chef l swear!!

So we ate food and watched Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood like crazy. A small nap in there. Just cuddling is so nice lol. We're such cuddle whores. Stuffed face and late night had to bring her home as she has class in the morning. Really nice full day w her as always. Sad when l have to leave her tho. One day a week is rough. But lately we have been lucky to see each other 2-4 days a week often so it happens. Def a really nice day with the girlfriend. Oh yea dat foot massage!!!!111 A slight reminder why shes awesome. Holy shit it cured me haha.


Weds woke up early and hit a meeting in Doylestown. Nothing nutty, just getting on the same page kinda thing. Hit home and ate a big lunch, confirmed appointments and forwarding emails as lm just literally forwarding emails back and forth as middle man about a home. Took my mid day nap as 130pm l got a lil light headed.

Woke up later on and hit my house showing in Philly later on. New clients and it showed well. Def got a lot of info to trade w them in the next coming weeks. Hit home and figured out how to get 2 headsets to commentate in my stream for this Sat at the TEAM PIE KINGS OF NEW YORK Tournament. The first tournament l'll be having my own stream. Pretty excited to do it. So yea, you can add in skype and l just add skype in as another headset and now they both work. Now if l wanted 3 headsets - then l need an audio mixer. There use to need more shit to get things working but l guess since the recent updates, they made it much more user friendly.

Been watching both New York's and Cali's weds night Street Fighter 4 tournaments. Weds night tradition lately. Its chill lol. After this week, lm about to start studying a lot and life is gonna get lame for a month lol. Oh wells.

Late.
