lm still feeling...... odd about a few things. l think l just need something to get excited about. l mean yea, Street Fighter 5 is extremely fun and lm glad l have that project to work on again finally but l need something besides gaming lol. No not a girlfriend. l think l just need something new. Even just a distraction. lm still having fun gaming, partying and just in general spending time w friends but l need something fresh. lve just been weird the last few weeks. l think lm just having an emo phase. If anything, l need some new good food lol.
l really am a princess about a lot of shit. l think my problem is that l honestly had it a bit too easy my whole life that anything not going PERFECTLY well just irritates the shit outta me. Lately, l've been getting furious about things l cant even control. Traffic and sun in my eyes for an hour?! l was seriously about the destroy the sun. l dont give a fuckkk. The italian hoagie l ordered and asked for extra mayo has NO MAYO?! First world fucking problems. l really just hate everything. And these are EVERYDAY things that happen to people, no big deal, l know l know. But then there are other issues that people say 'deal w it' 'move on' and l hate that. 'Deal w it' means 'Tolerate this shitty situation' rather than 'do something about it'. You guys know the commercial about 'The Settlers'?! Well its really true and lve been preaching this shit forever. You should go for exactly what you want and get what you want. Dont settle for something else because you can get the 2nd best because you're not gonna be happy with it. Maybe lm just too spoiled that l cant. Whatever. l want things to be perfect 100% of the time and honestly.... they usually are... but lately.... l feel like lm just dealing w a lot of bad circumstance incidents and lve been extra annoyed. l hate everything.
Ok now lm done whining.
2/16 Tues l was up all night playing Street Fighter 5. Fucking loving it. Went 45 wins and 24 losses. Played all night and really loving Necalli. l slept all day and got up in the evening and just did work ontop of some home research for myself. SteveC came over later and we played Street Fighter V for a while. Def a lot of fun and we were figuring out Birdie and Zangief together. Seems Steve is going to stick w Birdie cause tho he has less damage than Zangief, he has more options. Also the dive SPD is pretty deadly when your opponent is either scared or looking for something else. Anytime l was waiting for Steve to jump so l could anti air him, ld get hit by the dive spd. Its totally a yolo move but it gets people when they are looking for something else. l think the character fits Steve too. By learning a character even if l dont play them, l'll better understand their view of how they are approaching a match. With 16 characters, l plan to learn them all to better understand the game. l pretty much plan to be obsessed w the game.
Ended the night watching History Channel and doing work again and then played Street Fighter 5 all night lol.
Weds got up late and hit this networking event. l never been to one so wanted to check it out. Plus some friends were going so it wouldnt be too bad. Hit it up and passed out my business card to tons of people. Most people in their early to late 20s. Sadly no one needed a home just yet. Hit Rita's afterwards to smoke hookah w Rita Rob and SteveC. Ended the night playing Street Fighter 5 w Bounme and going over everything from anti air, footsies and basic ways of thinking like taking advantage of the lifelead and not walking yourself into the corner. Afterwards, played w AlexL for a while and got my ass beat pretty rough by his Ken. His Ken was very solid. Def good games and def loving being able to play Stret Fighter 5 w so many friends right now.
Thurs got up and had house showings w KevinA and we checked out some potential investment properties. Good hanging out w him as always and def saw some potential. Hit up The Lab after for the Ultra Street Fighter 4 and now our first Street Fighter 5 tournament. 21 players entered for Street Fighter 5. l went 4wins 2losses in Ultra Street Fighter 4 and 2wins 2losses in Street Fighter 5. So glad everyone came out and its just nice to have everyone at The Lab at once. Since Jimmy opened The Lab, we really did form a nice group over the last few months.

Ended the night by playing more Street Fighter 5 lol.
Friday got up late cause my sleeping habits are ruined because of Street Fighter 5. Got pizza and hit up Vince's for a chill night. Dickson Shala Julia Allison Andy JohnV and Yanni made it out. Ate tons of food, drank wine, smoked hookah and had Ted 2 and the Entourage movie on. Had a really really good time playing the high low game w cards but not to gamble money but the person w the highest card can ask the person w the lowest card any question they gotta answer. It was a JohnV roastfest as somehow he kept drawing the lowest number. Ace is the highest UNLESS someone gets a 2 and then it becomes the lowest so you never DEF won or lost till all cards are revealed which l think is a really cool fun rule to make someone who thought they were screwed - not screwed and someone who thinks they will be asking a question is not being put on the spot. Very fun night w everyone. Hit home and was studying Necalli frame data lol.
Sat got up late and hit up Vee's family party. Its crazy how well and how many people l know in Vee's family now over the the years. Got there and started eating hot pot and holy shit l ate so much. Had drinks w everyone and got to see Chris and Solena's baby and Brian and Somanette's baby both for the first time. Makes me wanna have kids again. Had drinks, socialized w everyone and really good to spend time w them all again. Celebrating Vee, Dan's and 4 other birthdays. Its insane how many people have a birthday in Feb. lm glad l got to stop by and hopefully l get to see them all again soon as l feel like l see them all less each yr.
Afterwards, hit up OJ's for pregame and had drinks and smoked hookah w everyone and we started playing the high low put people on blast game. This game seriously has me laughinng so much. Its just something to do ontop of everything else going on. Had a really good time and at around 1220am we hit up Coda. So got there and ran around and found friends and danced w different group of friends on the dance floor. It was the weekend Coda was celebrating its 1 yr anniversary so the dance floor was flooded and l would just find friends randomly. It got extremely hot tho and partied by the bottle service some friends got as it was cooler there and the advantage of dancing w friends at the bottle service is that its just friends in that area. No worries getting bumped by other people or any shit. Partied till 3am and had a lot of fun. Def felt right annd the music was mad on point. At 3am, drove friends home and hit home to eat, take a bath and sleep.
Sunday got up inn the evening and hit up Rita's to hookah w Rita Rob and Chris. Just straight bummed it and talked bout everything going on. Ordered pizzas and watched this show Caught on Camera where we just watch people die which was a bit weird seeing it on tv. Pizza was banging and had a good time before hitting home and playing mass amounts of Street Fighter 5 lol.
So first jumped on w ScottD and we checked out Zangief together. l've always like the concept of Zangief and any fighter of the most powerful grappler but the struggle to get in. We figured out some of his basics and whats good annd whats bad and figured out Headbutt is positive on block ontop of just being a great move and to follow it up w mp or SPD or bait and that his knee hop is negative on block. Fun times working w a friend always to figure out a character and its more efficient too since you can just tell someone to do something rather than record and playback and all this other stuff.
Afterwards, playing tons of games w AlexL and learned a lot. Def good games and he beats my ass pretty bad lol. Ended the night playing ranked matches all night.
Monday still up all night from playing, kept History Channnel on and did work all day onlinne. Slept throughout the midday annd got up at 1030pm to play Street Fighter 5 again. More games w Alex and he's really learning the cast quickly. Training room to test a ton of shit solely without fight request on and my data bank is getting quite full. Its mostly to make sure l know which my max damage combos are and also when it is and isnt worth using meter. Stayed up all night playing.
Tues still up playing Street Fighter 5 like a maniac. Watching Supernatural and hitting up potential clients. Bummed it most the day and did a lot of reading and watching of Necalli to try out new things. l like to just have a few go to things that l think are most efficient. Tons of frame traps to set up. Having a command grab is so great. Akuma's Super in USF4 was 0 frame which l loved which his Ultra was 1 frame but had the flash so it was used more as a punish to punish pretty much anything lol. Its nice to have a command throw special even tho its slow and bad range, when l get them - they cant tech to stop it. Slept in the evening.
Weds got up at 6am. Almost normal sleep sced. Ate gumbo w rice that George made which is banging. Its 4 meals worth and a good mix of meat and vegs. Was totally stuffed and afterwards played some Street Fighter V. Later on headed out and got mad groceries. l hate carrying tons of groceries but its nice having tons of food again. Ended the day meeting up w my team and Amie guided us through putting together mailings to my neighborhood to see if anyone is interested in listing their home. Took a while but there was some trial and error in some areas to get things looking right. First time trying this so yea.... lm actually excited to see how well this works. lm excited to send physical mail..... I AM NOW OLD ughhhhh....... But yea... from being up since 6am. Hit home and knocked out.
Thurs well woke up in the middle of the night in full shiver as it was ridiculously windy. l was too tired to get a hot shower which l prob shouldve done. l put on sweats and socks and had 3 layers on blankets and it took me 30 mins to get warm enough to fall back asleep. Of course, 2 hours later, l wake up again in full sweat and had a rough time sleeping and realized l was now sick. GAHHH.... took a hot ass shower and later on a hot bath, took meds and just ached all morning w a headache from lack of REM sleep.
Slept some more and got up and l really shouldnt have but l headed out to The Lab to play Street Fighter V. So it just seems like everyones sticking to Street Fighter V. It seems Ultra Street Fighter 4 really is dead. l guess esp Street Fighter V being so new, its everyones focus. l actually think overall... l like Street Fighter V more. It really is a more honest game. However l went 0-2 aiosrehgaoisrhgaoihg... but the game is so new, lm not worried. Def had fun chilling w everyone and playing a ton of games. l think l command throw too much.
Ended the night hitting up Long's to get payment for the past weekend and hanging for a lil. Met up w the Squadron at Tango for drinks but being fucked up from freezing earlier, l just stuck to drinking gingerale. Good times bumming w everyone as always. Felt like a friday. Also saw Chris and Kenny. Also thank you Tuan for the hook ups. Hit home afterwards and knocked out.
Friday, got up late, showered and got stuff and hit the Clarion hotel for Winterbrawl X. So this hotel is always under staffed, the staff itself likes to push work onto others when they can and they just act soooooo unprofessionally hood, its ridiculous. When you're at work, its time to stop 'keeping it real'. Anyway... got there and the electronic keys didnt work annd had to carry my shit up and down and then they made new keys which didnt work again... 3rd time after carrying all my shit up and down and waiting in line again, she finally made the keys right. Always issues w this place.
Settled in and friends came through. Had to play Ultra Street Fighter 4 first and went 2-2. Lost to KBrad to start to pool who ended up winning the entire tournament lol. My luck at tournaments...... Later on, hit upstairs and just played a ton of games, smoked hookah and had drinks. Around 11pm tons of friends started to come by and had a nice full room of friends playing games, socializing and met some cool new people. Reza came through to play and good to see shes getting much better. We went over some things w Cammy for her to work on as well and she really does a good job taking in things l teach her. Very fun times playing a fuckloada games, joking around w friends, having hookah and glad EricM and JustinJ came through to have a lil Kutztown w me lol. A few ginger ale and vodka drinks and some coaching after friends checked out some of my matches. Good times w tons of friends all night and finally got to bed around 4am.
Sat got up and me and Eric ordered food and stuffed face and started the hookah right away lol. Yeaaa... so we bummed it. Friends came through the room and l practiced on and off. Later on hit the tournament and found friends, socialized, watched some good matches and played my games. The games l won werent tough but the losses l had were rough as my first loss came down to final round, final game, final hit and l went foro blockstun into command throw and he jumped.... NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO and then later to a Vega which was hard to out footsie. l gotta figure out that match up big time.
Back to the room to chill w everyone. Friends came through the room throughout the night and had another full night of drinks, hookah, food and games. Got to catch up w a lot of friends and played a ton of matches w friends and strangers who came by. Some casuals made me feel like a God lol. Other friends reminded me l have a lot to learn. Learned a lot of how l play now that lm playing an upclose footsie frametrap heavy character. Its a totally different way of thinking than lm use to but l like it. l def go in a bit too hard l realize. Very fun times hanging w everyone and stayed up till about 4am. Me and Eric were totally spent. He had the group laughing all weekend.
Sunday got up to pack, clean and pce out. First said late to Andy and its always good to spent time w him. He's a really hard worker and really pushes things forward for the FGC. Meeting him was one of the biggest things that happened to me for getting much more involved into the FGC in general and l'll always thank him for that. Dropped off things to the car and said late to the guys. Hit home and got Boston Market and stuffed face. Settled in and watched the rest of Winterbrawl X on twitch. Happy another friend LI Joe won the tournament and he def deserves it. He does a lot for the scene as well. l knocked out almost immedietly after since l was running on no sleep from all the interuptions in the night, the snoring, people knocking on the wrong door, peoples cells going off...
Monday got up early at 8am and felt fresh. Full REM sleep omggggg.... did work allll morning and felt great. l can do anything when l get enough sleep, lm powerless when l dont get enough. Allison and her friends came by to work on a big project. They took over the kitchen since our living room is being redone. Just peacefully did work through the day and later on played some Street Fighter V w Michelle aka StarmieGee. She's always going after the tougher characters to play as shes currently Maining Fang right now. Very good games and always good getting some character knowledge. Right now with only 16 characters, learning how all the characters work isnt too overwhelming. l plan to really get a good grasp of how everyone moves in this game.
Later on got Rob and we hit up Rita's to do some hookah. Just a good way to bum it. Watched The Voice and just talked bout tons of shit. Hit home and ended the night playing matches against DavidH in Street Fighter V. l got a lot to teach him but would be easier in person.
Tues got up late. More massive amounts of sleep. Felt fresh waking up tho irresponsible. Was gonna do a list of things but most needed to be done during the day. Just took it easy and did some work and watched some Pretty Little Liars. Simple night. Gonna just play Street Fighter V and chill for tonight.
lol good edit job Scott
Late.
