Sup Guys, time flies by so fast.

Looking back on pics and stuff, its crazy how long ago some things happened. I feel like ever since I finished college, time isnt broken up into school years w things changing every few months and now its just life lol. I wish time didnt fly by so fast but time does fly faster when youre enjoying yourself. Weeks go by quick in general cause lm usually just doing nearly whatever l want. I remember wayyy back to this one time l was riding in a carriage and I asked the driver if the horses could go any faster. He said they could but it'll shorten the ride and I immediately said yes. Why go for a slow long ride when you could have a fun ride though being shorter? If you're not having fun, whats the point of riding out your life ya know? Not saying people should go kill themselves lol. But that you should have more fun.

K sooo the past 3 weeks.

2/16 Thurs night me and Nicah just stuffed face while watching Its Always Sunny and then more Resident Evil cause we’re addicted lol.

Friday l slept in while she hit work for a lil. Got her later on and we got Luke’s Lobster and yooo its soo damn fucking good but so damn pricey. Still, it was made perfectly and l love lobster. Shrimp and crab rolls were banging too of course and lm glad we went. Afterwards, we packed and played a lil Resident Evil till we headed out for the weekend.

Got bubble tea and lm really liking strawberry bubble tea. Hit the Clarion hotel and unpacked and set up for the weekend. Matt and Mike were in the lobby too so they came to hang out and play some games. Practiced a lil Street Fighter V and Pokken but its so bad how late of a practice it was for me since l’ve been playing other games lately. I always do this before a tournament. Play other stuff a lot lol. Oh well. Friends came through later on and it was good partying w the FGC again. Playing matches, having some drinks and lighting the hookah. Had a really fun night being back w everyone and getting games in.

Sat got up early and got our bracelet to enter the tournament. Had trouble waking up the sloth Nicah but l got her up eventually. Hit the tournament and went 3-2 in Pokken and 2-2 in Street Fighter 5. Some loses were close, others were just bad. All my wins werent a problem at all like the Blaziken player who just used his entire lifebar to attack me only for me to tap him to take away all the grey life. Had a lot of fun and kept punching Nicah in the arm everytime l got hype as l won a round against a high level Pokken player named Rasenryu.

Afterwards, hit the room to smoke hookah and chill w Andres. We played a ton of matches of his Ryu against my Necalli. He really does play the game solid as hell but sadly Ryu isnt the same in season 2 right now. Played some Nidhogg and then later on some of the Squadron came through. Taught some how to play Nidhogg and had some matches which were entertaining.

More of the Squad came through and we started playing Mafia. GOD I fucking love that game. So had a lot of fun using the Alien rule again and in general, it was just fun. Oh yea….. I won as Alien for our first Alien win. Played it like l was a civ but not too good and just happened to be suspected lol. Played till midnight and then more FGC friends came through. Got in more games and started to really learn how good Necalli’s MP really is. So l like using cr.mp a lot but for 1 more frame, the range is really worth it. It’s just such a good pressure tool.

We ended up hanging out till 430am ish in the morning till people start dipping out. Playing in person is just nice to get focused on a match up along w being able to talk the person right there. Oh yea and no lag of course.

After everyone bounced, we showered and ate food and Phatboi hung w us for a while. Playing Resident Evil and just having a good time being together. Very good times. We eventually went to bed at 6am.

Sunday morning we packed and cleaned but we got most of it done sat night. Headed out and said late to friends and we got Boston Market on the way back. GOD the sides are so fucking good. The creamy spinach is so good but it had me farting all day lol. We took a nap and then got up to hit Chinatown to meet up w Long for a lil. Talked bout the event we just had and talked bout future events coming up.

Next we got SamY and Allison and hit Mike and Sam’s place for game night. Met some their other friends and had a good time learning new games. Friend came through and just snacked like crazy, had some wine and played games. Exploding kittens is interesting because there is tactics, reasoning and probability and there is also straight up risk. To skip a turn and not gain a card or risk it but risk losing immediately. Of course, you go on probability. I just like that game has you nervous when drawing a card everytime lol. Nicah and some special chocolate trying to listen to all conversations at once lolol.

Ended the night w big games of Mafia. So much fun. The Alien rule makes it extra good and Sam is a fucker lol. Hit back to Nicah’s late and me and Nicah finished Resident Evil. Such a good time. I’m looking forward to Outlast 2 to play w her. I cant play these games alone. We still got the DLC banned footage 1 and 2.

Monday got up late and we got some halal food by a food truck close by. So damn good. Doesnt get old. Hit back home to hit my office to get checks, hit the bank to deposit money and checks and hit Rita’s to hookah for a while. Caught up on everything and Rita told me the best shameless story she has ever told me lol. I give her credit for being able to tell a story like that outloud too haha.

Hit back home to play For Honor w Bounme Fox and Sam all night. Caught up on gaming news and just played literally all night. Shugoki seems to be my main class. The Super Armor itself for the mind games alone is too good.

Tues got up in the evening to do work for a while. A little behind on work in general. Played more For Honor w Bounme Andres AdamW and Sam. We’re getting the hang of it now. Just a lot of information l wish was more out in the open. Played all night into weds.

Weds still up playing For Honor doing mad Deathmatch. Constantly becoming 1st place on score and kills as l have gameplans against each character now. It’s all about the Super Armor. When l have it, l do whatever l want and get some damage in or a throw. When l get hit outta it, l back off till my Super Armor recharges. It’s only bad when they knock me outta Super Armor and are still ontop of me. Ate and was catching up on Vikings and then slept at 2pm.

Got up at 8pm and did work for a lil and then back onto For Honor w Bounme and Fox all night. We’re doing much better now. Played till late night and then more food and Vikings. Keeping it simple lately.

Thurs l finally stopped playing For Honor around 10ish to do work for a lil and then… well back to For Honor. Hit Nicah’s and we got food at HMart. Ate there but also got some food from the grocery side for us and for Jasmine’s Hot Pot night later on. Hit back to her place to nap while she hit class. Later on got up and we hit up Jasmine’s Hot Pot night at her new place in Center City.

Tons of friends came through and just prepared food and caught up w some friends l havent seen in a bit. Food was so damn banging. The soup was a bit too spicy lol but whatever. Had a really good time being there and just hung out till pretty late. Thank you Jasmine for having us.

Afterwards, JeffH and Andy came through to Nicah’s to hookah and talk for a while. Talked bout a lot of junk and about Anime and lm glad Andy and Allison are watching Deathnote now. Chilled for a lil before knocking out.

Friday we got up and got food from the food truck Phillypino which wasnt bad. I’d get it again. We hit up the movies and watched Get Out and The Rings. Both were good. Get Out was cool just because it’s different, it’s funny and there was more to it than it first appears. There were some twists, one which l called that some people would think of and in general, it was different being scared for a fit black guy as when we think of ‘fit black guy’ you dont think of a guy who cant fend for himself ya know? Crazy Jordan Peele wrote it. The Rings was good if you’re a Ring fan in general and like that storyline. Pretty scary and all and digs deeper into the storyline.

Afterwards, we hit up Mike and Sam’s place for Mike’s birthday. Played games, had drinks and food and learned some new games. Just a big hang out and had fun playing games of Mafia. It’s great that they are back in Philly and also got a big cool place in Center City. It just adds to the overall fun.

Happy Birthday Mike!!

Sat got up and we got Boston Market cause Boston Market is God. Stuffed face and dropped Nicah off w her club as they hit Pennstate main. Hit home to play a lil For Honor and catch up on Gaming news and then headed out to Vee and Dan’s 90s themed birthday party.

So got there and caught up w a ton of friends. It was pretty much 4 massive groups. Vee’s family side, Vee and Dan’s RiderU squad, the Baltimore/BBoy side and just the Bucks County group in general. Though its 4 groups, everyone’s all blended together from over the years. Stuffed face as the food was amazing there and then started drinking. Ended up going 5-2 in Beer pong w Brown and AlexL as partners. Goof’s outfit was hilarious and was highly entertained as the hypeness on the dance floor. Partied till late and was really happy to be w so many friends. Esp nice catching up w some of the Rider group l havent seen in a while.

Happy Birthday Vee and Dan!!

After l got home, played more For Honor 1v1 for a while and knocked out super late.

Sunday got up late as hell and headed out to Scott and Jeni’s for Hack’s surprise birthday that Betty set up. 3 nights in a row of 4 30yr old birthdays. Met up w friends and hide till Hack showed up and surprised him. We ate cake, smoked hookah and had drinks. Caught up w more friends I haven’t seen in a little while and we watched the Oscars and l just kept eating lol. Glad we could be there for Hack. Hung out till everyone was bouncing.

Happy Birthday Hackkk!!

Hit home and used my new Turbo cleaner to clean the fuck outta my bathroom. Took me a while but feels so good that its so clean again. Read some gaming news and played For Honor like crazy into Monday. Did a lot of 1v1 and I’m learning a lot. It’s such a 3rd person over the shoulder Fighting Game. Right now I’m working on match ups. We’ll see but the FGC may make it a tournament staple soon enough now that Final Round is starting 2v2s. It is weird tho that we can’t do LAN play. There needs to be a LAN set up or something.

Monday 2/27 still up from being up all night, l stopped playing at 10am to do work for a while. Working on real estate and setting up automatic payment for house bills lol. Yayyy lm so grown up now. Hit up clients and emailed out homes and then finally slept.

Got up at 8pm to eat and watch Fresh off the Boat. God l love that show. It’s multiple new themes of funny. One thats common in the show is being super cheap and how thats funny. Played mad For Honor again and worked on my match up guide for the game so l can just reference to it instead of trying to remember the 12 match ups. There’s just so much info and so much to remember, it’s nice to have cliff notes on the side.

Took a lil break for gaming news and food then back for more For Honor. I actually like 1v1 and 4v4 Elimination the most. Dominion is very where we should go hold or capture strategic but playing Shugoki, l mostly defend spots which can be very fun like holding down bridges w my charge for a free knock off kill or 1v1 fights which l feel very confident about. The only downside is l get into 2v1 and 3v1 fights since lm defending alone and there isnt a reason why 2 people should be defending 1 point. Strategy wise it makes sense but leaves me in sometimes a shitty position.

Tues still up just bullshitted, had the tv on and did work. Watching What on Earth on Sci channel all day. Sci channel is a good replacement for my History Channel 2. The other show - How the Universe works is amazing too. Working w clients all morning and just had lunch and finally went to bed at 2pm.

Weds got up at 1am and just bullshitted, ate and watched Vikings. God l love that show. Booked homes to show and played a ton of For Honor. Did some work at 10am as that’s when l feel like its fine to make phone calls and then back to For Honor for a lil bit.

Eventually finished up and got sushi at Shogun and got to Nicah’s work to hang out, read my Game Informers and chill. We hit back to her place to sleep and then got up to meet up w the Squadron.

We met up and got pho, classic. Pho is just a staple amazing meal. You can never go wrong w it. We then hit up Dave n Busters to play games. My sister Allison is ridiculously good at Fruit Ninja lol. Had fun playing a ton of race games, competing in basketball and skiball and since weds is half off games, playing games only cost like $0.30 or so for the simple stuff and still under a $1 for other things. Had a really good time spending time w everyone as always.

Afterwards, we hit back to Nicah’s place and me and her played some of the Resident Evil DLC - 21 which is VERY interesting. It’s Blackjack but w multiple changes. The cards are 1-11 but only 1 copy of each. No Ace for 1 or 11. Trump Cards that let you instantly draw a specific number, trade w the opponent the most recently drawn card, change the number to aim for from 21 to 16 or change it to 24. Also, the bet starts at 1. Each loss is a loss of a finger. First person to lose all fingers loses. Later it’s changed to being shocked 1-9 then finally a saw that moves inbetween 14 spaces back and forth depending on the winner and how much the current bet was at. It’s REALLY well done. Capcom did such an amazing job on this game. The game itself, the DLC and even the music.

Thurs we slept in a lil and then got up to do the Hitman Elusive Target 21. This one was much harder than most Elusive Targets. Some Elusive Targets are really simple. Some require some plotting but are still 20-40 mins to figure out and execute. This one was ridiculously tough if you wanted the bonuses. You had to find a virus and inject it into your 2 targets. Second you kill 1 target, you MUST finish it now. Got food w Nicah at food trucks after her place and couldnt stop thinking how to solve this Hitman Elusive target. After eating, went right back to it and finally figured it out. Def a lot of fun.

Hit house showings w Vince afterwards and found some new potential. Def glad we have some options now. Good times hanging out as always. Hit Marisa’s for an epic game of Monopoly that took over 4 hours. I ended up winning since l just bought everything possible in the game early game and got lucky twice hitting the Free Parking for a ton of cash to keep me in the game. Fun night and afterwards hit back to eat and watch Dr.Strange.

Friday me and Nicah slept in till 4pm. God damn. Got up to eat at Sabrina’s and then got gas and drinks and hit back to bum. We played the Resident Evil DLC - Daughters which was a fun scary short. Cool to see how the family became the way they are and though you hate them, you really cant cause it’s not their fault. Besides the brother lol. Played some of the survival mode too which is fun. Its all about management of your scrap(money) and buying long term beneficial things first but still having JUST enough ammo to survive each current wave. I was so effective of my management that the finally 2 waves were pretty easy.

Afterwards, we had pregame at Nicah’s since her roomate Alyssa was also having people over for a birthday. Joined the groups together and had a really fun pregame tho losing in beer pong right off the bat. Very fun pregame as always and then afterwards hit Rumor. The music in both rooms were really good and we mixed it up between the hip hop and the EDM room. Partied till 2am and then afterwards we got Wawa and hit home to eat and watch Its Always Sunny.

Sat I got up early while Nicah slept and just beat the survival mode a few times to unlock stuff. Finally Nicah got up in the evening and dropped her off to a dance thing. Later on we got Bobby’s Burgers which was good but pricey and then dropped her back off at dance again. Hit back to her place to play more Resident Evil DLC survival mode then when she came back, we napped cause all we do is eat and sleep. 7-9pm we slept then got up to get ready and eat more.

Hit OJ’s pregame and went 3-0 w Vince. Big pregame and glad Alyssa and Will are coming out w us more. Really fun pregame and just had a good time being there w everyone for a while. I love pregame. Finally hit Coda at 1230am and partied till 3am. Had a short meeting w Mario talking bout a ton of stuff and had a great time dancing. The EDM set Mike Lowry played was really good and also Shap was there since he’s friends w the DJ and it was good to catch up w him. Danced mostly in the center all night and was so burnt out from the night. We got McDonalds at the end of the night and then hit back to eat and watch Its Always Sunny. Ended up watching videos on the music of Resident Evil and then other junk and well… kinda bothered Nicah till 9am lol.

Sunday we just slept the day away. Ordered food and just took it easy watching shows. A series of Unfortunate Events Netflix but l couldnt see past the acting. It really does feel like lm watching a play. I heard the movie and book is good but after the first episode, I just didnt give a shit at all. I didnt care about the characters at all. Watched Its Always Sunny cause that show is amazing and pced out later on.

Hit Long’s to get payment and talk about future events and just the overall gameplan for the coming year. I’m really happy we’re growing our DNA team. I think just having people in different cliques and getting new people to our events is the way to go. Hit home and finally catch up on my work. Stayed up all night doing work along w catching up on my bullshit.

3/6 Monday still up all night reading up on gaming news and eating and just having the tv on. Finally at 10am, back to work as l feel like calling before 10am is just too early overall. Got a lot done and stuffed face w a hoagie watching Vikings. Got the game Blackwake to try out. It was $20 an in Alpha and is a dumb fun pirate vs military on boats game. Its slow paced but fun. It would be more fun w real friends tho, freaking out and organizing ourselves than w strangers tho. Took care of more work in the evening and then went to bed mad early.

Tues got up at 330am lol. Turned on Sci Channel cause nonstop How the Universe Works is pretty cool. Did work and played some Street Fighter 5 all early morning. At 10am, headed out to get groceries and liquor and then caught up on my gaming news. On the phone w clients for an hour and glad to be getting new clients. Eventually slept early again.

Weds got up mad early and was just booking homes and emailing clients all morning. Played a ton of For Honor and lm glad lve only gotten much better from watching tournament footage. L was missing out on more guaranteed damage in some situations.

Later on at 230pm, SteveC came through to show me Zelda and the Nintendo Switch. Rita came through later on and then Alex and ScottD joined. Smoking hookah, eating shrimp lol. It was a good time. Played some Bomberman and its fun but $50 is a lot for the content. Like it’s fun but l dont know if it’ll get competitive on that level as l see it more a party game.

After friends bounced, did more work and played more For Honor and read more gaming news. Finally went to bed at midnight.

Thurs got up at 8am and just bullshitted all morning. Started doing work late and then headed out to get cheesecake for game night later on and hit up Nicah’s.
