l think part of the reason why l like being up late night is because its my downtime cause most people are asleep. lm always w friends or gaming w friends or partying w friends that l guess late night is my me time ya know? But this past week has been nonstop and really fun.
Sunday got Pokemon in the morning and from being up all night, l slept practically all day. l later hit up my mother's home and picked up her minivan as my God Uncle would need to lay down when getting him from the hospital. Took care of a lot of work and booked homes and had a handful of paperwork to do. Paperwork is never hard, its just a lot of passing around papers online and having things read and signed. Played Pokemon for the next 5 hours into Monday haha. Def enjoying it and ughhhhh lm getting serious about it again.
Fear me - l just caught a Magikarp..
Monday morning l got my God Grandmother and we got my God Uncle from the VA hospital in Philly and took them back home. Had lunch and caught up more tho l just visited in mid Oct. Stuffed face and took a picture of the recipe of the cookies lve been eating since l was practically an infant. Its my God Great Grandmother's recipe as l read her name on the lil card written. Its really simple but you have to knead the shit outta the dough just right. These cookies are just really really good lol.
Hit back home and got paperwork back of an accepted offer for Eric and Kristi!! Very happy for them and ESP happy they are in a nice spacious move in ready home and not that fixer upper that turned out to have massive flooding that is still currently under the house.
Got groceries and took care of some more paperwork w my new accepted offer and went to bed early.
^^ Both in my God Grandmother's living room
Tues l started my day off browsing Black Friday deals. Of course Best Buy had a ton of the best deals out there. lm always at Best Buy for Black Friday but this yr, Black Friday would be on thurs lol which yea... it doesnt make sense. Cause now its just literally on Thanksgiving. Played a lot of Counter-Strike Global Offensive w David in the evening and then made burgers. Counter-Strike will always be a fun go to game. Its crazy how l've been playing it on and off since 2000.
Worked on Smogon.com on a Pokemon team. So l decided, ok... l'll get back into Pokemon but not on the grinding part of it on the 3DS and l'll just mess w teams on Smogon where you build your pokemon perfectly and battle w your team from there. That way you dont have to spend HOURS to build a Pokemon and then find out you dont really like playing w him. Worked on that project for a lil bit reading up on all the OverUsed section Pokemon and different builds and copied down the ones that interest me. After marking down all the ones l like, then team building is gonna be a project of itself as lm gonna try to make it solid which covers all grounds. l mean, l could just start playing and fix it according to what l see.
Later on lit the hookah and friends came over, smoked and played Smash Bros w everyone and later the baked potatoes were ready. So l had sour cream, butter, bacon bits and shredded cheese and the baked potatoes were good!! But l think everyone was expecting like a serious dinner lol. Wellllll lm not that baller yet to provide good meals to a group of 10 every single week haha. Fried rice was atleast cheap. Maybe l'll just do that again soon. Played a ton of Super Smash 8 way which was mad fun and yooo the amiibos..... kicked our ass. Even one match.... all 6 of us were knocked out and the two Amiibos were left battling each other lol. Def interesting how they work tho. Had a good night and glad friends came through to chill on nerd night as always.
Weds woke up early for the home inspection which went smoothly. Scott did a good job as always and showed me Eric and Kristi small things in the home to look out for to possibly talk about for the Reply to Inspection report. Made more burgers and did some Counter-Strike Global Offensive w David again. Afterwards, some Ultra Street Fighter 4 w Justin for a while. My brain was just all arighaiehgaiohg and l was possibly going to go out. Good games w Justin tho he was destroying me now lol. He has me truly downloaded now. He knows my habits, l know his but he just out plays me well. He's getting me into Killer Instinct too.
Spent the rest of weds just peacefully working on my Pokemon team. It sounds fun and easy but no.... you know how many Pokemon exist in the Overused category?! And then all the possible common builds. Then all the combinations of all those Pokemon on a team of 6?!?! Hundreds of thousands of combinations.... and then if we talk about which Pokemon goes first(no need to write 2nd 3rd 4th since any Pokemon after that can be switched in) that just multiplys that ridiculous number by 6.
l know it sounds like lm taking the fun outta things but honestly.... as much as this is work, it is fun too. l do like reading up on the game, to peaceful build and come up w ideas and when l start winning, its great. Playing for fun isnt toooo fun. Learning and getting better and seeing that success is fun. Of course winning is fun. People who say it isn't is ridiculous because you can clearly see everyone winning is happy lol.
Def a fun weds lol.
Thurs for Thanksgiving l spent the day at Best Buy lol. So l got there at 11am and l coulda got the items l wanted online but l'd have to wait till mid to late Dec for it. The Xbox One bundle was nice for giving an extra controller and my sister's Macbook Air. Waited in line all day and eventually got my shit. Helped out others get shit as well. Double win, not only do l help out my friends but it makes my time in line WORTH it ya know? Anytime someones gonna go do something that sux, you wanna get the most out of your effort.
Got home freezing and me Joss and Brown set up the Xbox One and played some Killer Instinct together. Vicky came over w some Thanksgiving dinner, thank you boobie and stuffed face. Killer Instinct is def a fun game and its weird.... its complicated ENOUGH but overally VERY noob friendly. l think part of it is of course having so few characters, you dont gotta learn how to face so many opponents like you do in Street Fighter or Smash Bros. It takes A LOT of things from Street Fighter as some characters are Ryu clones... fireball, anti air and anti fireball move. But the combo system is very different and the whole combo breaker idea is interesting. l dunno how l feel about it yet and l havent gotten that deep into combos yet. Learning a fighting game, people always try to learn combos..... you should learn your normals first. Why and when to press each button. If you dont, you are just yolo'ing going for combos when really you couldve gotten so much guaranteed damage of your opponents doing stupid things that you are prob doing now. l do like how their training room is VERY advanced. Not only giving frame data but showing hit and hurtboxes. It SHOWS you pretty much how the game works in detail. Yea of course, when you punch someone, it shows you hit them but seeing the hurtboxes and reading the frame data really explain things in detail.
Spent the rest of the night w Vicky cuddling and trying to play w her butt. We slept early as we had a big day ahead of us for Friday
Friday morning bothered Joss and me Joss and Vicky hit up the Oxford Valley Mall browsing shit. Checking out stores, got some shit from Express cause whatever and bubble tea. Ran around trying to find more stuff to get but nothing else that great. Later on we hit the Giant and got food for shrimp eggrolls that were ok. Got mad crawfish that was good lol. l really like crawfish. Its so cheap too!!
Took a small nap and got up we just had a chill evening watching The Walking Dead and American Horror Story. We made a nice pasta dinner w bacon chicken ranch sauce which was really good. Just lm lactose intolerant so oops..... Def enjoyed my time w Vicky and l know every week we do the same thing but its peaceful. l dont get to see her as much as l like because of sced and the distance is just a bit too far out to visit for just a lil bit at a time so when l am w her, l just wanna do nothing but have time for us to talk and lay there and junk lol. Just the days when we are out the entire time, it kinda sux if theres no sleep over later.
Later on it was time to party.
Hit up pregame at Mike's for Rita's birthday and had a ton of people come through and drink, hookah and eat cake. Introduced people best l could to everyone but yo, the overall party group is pretty huge where theres still a few bridges l gotta build so its not a bunch of mini groups but one big group. But always adding in more people, its gotta come slowly. Pregame was really fun as always and we celebrated Rita's bday w cake, drinks and hookah.... Sounds like the perfect night for Rita lol.
Next we hit up Rumor to keep partying for her birthday along w setting up AmyW's birthday. Got in, got drinks and started dancing. We switched it up back and forth between rooms. Hip hop for hypeness more so and mayhem while EDM room was better for dancing and being breathable when we felt overwhelmed. Legs felt burnt out pretty early going a bit too goofy start of the night at Rumor. Def a really fun night and met a few people through friends. Also saw some other friends who l dont see come out much here and there. End of the night, hit back and dropped off Hak and Rita and actually slept pretty close to getting home. Happy Birthday Rita!!!
Sat got up to eat just a lil and then hit Maryland. Met up w the guys and we watched the Redbull BC One and chilled. Lit the hookah and friends started coming over. So the whole evening spent back and forth from socializing upstairs and Smash Bros downstairs. Bounme's annual Friendsgiving which is just a big ass dinner w video games, drinks and hookah lol. So got to see a ton of old friends and sadly l dont get to visit MD DC and VA as often. One work takes up weekends sometimes having house showings or open houses on the weekends and then since lm no longer competing in bboying, l didnt have a MAIN purpose to go down there and then party w everyone at night like l use to. Now its just lm there when l have a totally free weekend and stuff is going on down there.
We played a lot of games of Smash Bros and l was getting called out for camping in corners and running during 8 way Smash lol. Honestly, l was doing better when l just joined the mayhem. Bowser's buttslam and side smash dropkick were the heavy hitters. Flamethrower does well a lot of the time too. Upstairs was just a lot of talking bout the dance scene and all the drama lately and how its getting a bit too crazy. Twitch tv and girls on twitch that we know and watch and gaming in general. Watching viral fake videos of that family that always has that son who has no job and just plays games. Had the hookah lit, tried new drinks and snacked on food and then back downstairs for Smash Bros for a lil and then back up for more socializing. Def a really godo night at Bounme's as always and always nice being w everyone again. l really do miss everyone down there.
Next up, me Domkey and Pete hit up DC for Domkey and Ghost's birthday at Park at 14th Lounge. So this was one of my overall favorite spots of DC. Its kinda what got me into asian girls too lol. Its weird, bboy jams and MD DC VA and meeting tons of asian girls slowly switched me to asian girls lol. But yea overall it was mostly the clubs/lounges. Thats where everyones tryna look good and partying ya know? So got there and snugged in my tighest parking spot ever in my life lol. Got in a bit after midnight and had friends get us in free and hit the 4th floor where everyone was at.
MASSIVE reunion of friends, some who l havent seen in a few months, others l havent seen since 2009. So was smashing drinks and catching up w everyone and it was just really really nice. A lot of the overall 'Party Squad' as Ghost always says came through and it really did feel like 2005-2010 lol. Later on found friends to dance w and danced w new friends as well. Anthony had bottles in VIP as well on the 3rd floor and caught up w him and had some drinks. Also slamming shots Domkey didnt want to take for his birthday when people werent looking lol. Got way more drunk than l planned to. l planned to have 3-5 Corona's... maybe a shot, cause l planned to drive Domkey and Pete Nasty back to Bounme's then drive back home in PA and get back at 6am. Wasnt gonna happen.
Ran around drinking and dancing and l never had an OK time at Park. l always end up having a blast. Not sure if its cause of that whole 'if you travel far out to go somewhere, you make sure to have a blast' factor or what but l had an amazing time. l guess partly of course because of being w so many old friends who are fun to party w. Dancing ontop of VIP tables to 'l dont give a fuck with you' bouncing like a retard w my middle finger in the air lol. It was a good time.
End of the night, on our way back, Domkey convinced me to stick around and he got us fried chicken at 430am and we ate that while watching a meh ok manderin chinese horror movie lol. Chicken was banging, talked about a lot of junk and we passed out. Didnt finish the movie lol.
Pics from the past in DC
Sunday got up and hit home for my Friendsgiving at my house. Got back only w a lil chill time and friends came over. Big dinner again and stuffed face and just had a big social night again. So food and Marvel talk in the kitchen, movie in the living room and hookah and drinks outside as well. Another really good night w a ton of friends just hanging out. l was so sore from dancing fri and sat, a night w the same elements without dancing was just fine. l love dancing w friends of course but trust me, friday and sat was plenty anyone would need for a weekend. Food coma kicked and friends bounced out around midnight. Took Hak back and hit home to bullshit for a lil and then passed out at 3am.
Monday woke up late in the evening which l wanted. 3pm was perfect. Did a ton of work and prepared for my house showings and met up later w Linda and Kenny for house showings in Mont County. Saw some great homes and it went really smooth. Didnt really do much but play some Counter-Strike Global Offensive w DavidH, Victor, AdamZ and AdamW. We got paired up w mega high level people tho being in a group tho. Late night.... theres not many people on so the ranking system goes to ass. A bunch of no ranks and silver ranks vs top level gold lol. It was a pretty bad slaughter. Ended the night chilling online and knocking out at 3am 3am is a good time.
Tues took Jieun to the Honda dealer and then hit Ryan's place to work on his bottom unit to rent out. We met up w Corey and got sushi at Shogun again. Stuffed face and caught up about a lot. Its funny how our home group all hangs out in small lil packs but we all hang out together. Its hard to explain but ld estimate theres around 30 of us total who are all friends but how we became friends w one another are through different networks. Not a linear bridge from one person to the next but a spider web that jumps from some spots across the web to others. l just think its interesting how this group over the past 13 yrs grew. Through dancing, gaming, work, partying - a lot of our group met randomly and found out we were part of the bigger picture of our group. Ok prob a pointless rant.
Anyway... lunch was banging as always cause sushi is amazing and pced out to take care of A LOT of work. Winter time it usually gets slower but A LOT is going on. Pretty much my email is the game of me trying to answer and solve what comes in the email as more emails come. Its not hard, its not stressful, its just a lot. Kinda like getting 100 math word problems of situations. Lets say discount on purchases situations. You do the math, its simple, you know you'll get 100% as long as you double check and dont rush.... its just theres 100 problems to solve. Thats like what real estate work is like outside of the house showings.
All afternoon playing Far Cry 4 which is a fun game. Another game of that open world formula that Assassin's Creed has that Batman games followed, Shadows of Mordor which just came out that did the same is also doing well. l just like the whole 'heres the problem, solve it however you like' scenario. Where other games w levels have a path you follow, a script youre obviously given.
'A bunch of guys are shooting at me and they are next to red barrels, shoot the barrels and they blow up and kill the guys, then go through the obvious path up the ladder to the next fight'
You're just following what the writer wants you to do. It doesnt feel like natural. Now..... a REALLY REALLY good game will still be enjoyable like that but they are rare. Hitman is half like that since there are many scripts but you CHOSE the script rather than follow the one. The scripts are also fun to figure out and are somewhat open. Dark Souls 2 tho... still amazing. Portal 2 was scripted but you had to solve the puzzle.
Ended the night watching the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show of 2013 and then 2012 w Jieun and Sam. So we thought the new one was tonight but turns out they just shot it tonight and its on next week lol. After, watched the episode of Southpark about Magic the Gathering lol. l love Southpark. Now just writing here and watching this old movie about 2 people talking over dinner about life.... thats the whole movie but its interesting. Its a cult classic and whatever.... l love Philosophy... sadly deep topics on that level dont come up often and the discussion these 2 have over dinner is the kinda late night talk you had w your friends during sleep overs in elementary school where you just keep talking and talking and it gets deeper and deeper. l miss those. The movie is called My Dinner w Andre
