So l knew when l was younger that time wise, things gotta give in order to focus on other things. Partying, work, bboying, gaming. Around 26 l lost bboying. I miss it but I’m happy I had it for as long as I did. Now it seems like gaming is taking a back seat. I use to be able to play 10-25 hours a week if l wanted to but now l barely can. We’ll see. I also have been just drained lately.
My past 2 weeks...
5/8 Monday got up at did work for most the morning. Hit the Lab as the Lab is gonna have biweekly tournaments on Mondays for Pokken and Street Fighter 5. Been rusty on both and only went 1-2 in Pokken and 0-2 in Street Fighter V. Had a really good time being back w everyone tho again. Mondays also work out a lot better for me now that lm in Philly weds-sun every week. With Philly house showings Weds and Thurs each week and partying on weekends along w some house showings Fri-Sun, no reason to go home. Just ate food, watched matches and socialized and l think biweekly will be perfect to see everyone but every week was kinda overwhelming at times.
Hit home to do work all throughout the night and watched Through the Wormhole on Sci Fi all night. Ate and caught up on Better Call Saul before knocking out.

Tues set up house showings in the morning and got groceries and came back to a call that l got an accepted offer for Sunnie. Very happy for her and she was so relieved. I’m really happy for her and just happy in general, my career is making people happy by finding a way to get them the home they want. Got chinese food and watched more Better Call Saul.
Ended the night playing a ton of matches w SteveC in Street Fighter 5. He’s getting back into it which lm glad. I always liked that he’s one of my more serious gaming friends that plays everything and back in Ultra Street Fighter 4 days, we had a ton of fun. We’ll see.

Weds worked in the morning and chilled in the evening. Got groceries at night and hit Long’s to get DNA money and then got more chinese food at David’s Mai Lai Wah. Hit Nicah’s to eat and watch Goblin w my wittle goblin huehuehue. Bummed it w her all night playing Zelda and junk.
Thurs morning checked out rental w Liz and Nick. Saw some potential and good to catch up as always. Went back to sleep and then got up later to check out more homes w VinceC. Saw one that we didnt really like far out of the areas we usually been looking and talked bout homes for a while before hitting back.
Got Nicah and we met up w Alyssa and Will for food at Distrito. YOOO food was banging and so were the drinks. Stuffed face and had a really nice dinner w all of them. I really like that these mini double date hang outs w Alyssa and Will.
Afterwards, me and Nicah went to see Guardian of the Galaxy vol 2 and yoooooo so fucking good. Just REALLY GOD DAMN FUNNY and then a lot of feels towards the end. Its just so well written and theres a lot of slapstick but slapstick is good when done right. Afterwards, hit back to Nicah’s to play games.
Friday morning hit Allison’s graduation. Congrats!!! Very proud of my little sister and glad to be there. Met up w Steph and watched her graduate. Took some pics w JohnV’s camera and lm relieved she’s almost done. She’s got grad school coming up and then the real world. Hit back to get Nicah and hit Hmart as she needed stuff and stuffed face upstairs. Hit back to nap and got up later to play Street Fighter 5 beta updates.
OMGGGG Ed is mad fun. I really really like his playstyle, his character, his normals and I just feel very at home playing him. I’m nervous things will be nerfed about him but the character design is really clever. So was Kolin’s and if Capcom keeps this up, the future DLC’s characters are gonna be really fun creative characters.
Next up w Nicah’s party. Friends came through and we just started doing shots and l dunno how but it got really wild. Singing songs obnoxiously, vogue battling Diamond, we just got pretty damn drunk and had a good time. Nothing really even happened thinking bout it. Besides Sam pushing me off a stool which lead to a slow motion fall onto my back, feet up in the air and everything lol. Just a good time w people. Shots always lead to ridiculousness. Ended the night playing a shitloada of Street Fighter 5 w Ed. Was winning like crazy. Yea people are unfamiliar how to fight Ed and also not familiar using him but l was still 15-3.
Sat got up to check out potential spots for Domkey and Rose. Had fun running around Philly and talking bout the lifestyle differences between Fishtown to Center City. Really fun times as it didnt feel like work at all. Its the best part about my career. It feels like just a hang out w an objective. Afterwards, got Nicah and we hit Frankford Hall for food and drinks. Stuffed face w burgers and smores pretzels and drinks. Got totally stuffed and then we hit OJ’s party.
Simple night w the Squadron as we just played a ton of beer pong, did shots and laughed at a bunch of shit. JustinJ even came through since he was visiting home for Mother’s Day. Lost a game of pong w Justin to Zack and Vince though arhgoairhgoiahrgoa.. Later on had revenge as me and Domkey went 4-0 in beer pong. Also… we were down to 1 cup and Rich and Zack had 9 cups and me and Domkey made the same cup which instant ended the game. It’s my best bullshit move and the hype was real. Flipped a major shit and my night was already complete. Also Nicah hit a wall bounce shot on Vince and Zack and l was dying. Loser does shots is always a fun rule. Partied till late and then hit Rumor to pick up payment from the night before and then got Wawa before hitting home to eat and then play more Street Fighter 5 as Nicah played Zelda. 
Sunday we woke up late and hit the King of Prussia mall to shop around. Got some shit at H&M, ate food, checked out some spots and then hit this Primark store of ridiculously cheap stuff. The shirts were a bit tooooooo cheap feeling as some were literally $3.50. But its all about the feel. There was these stupid soft blankets tho for only $7 so l got 3 of them lol.
Hit back to nap and got up late to get chinese food and watch Attack on Titan which btw….. Wut…. wtf just happened lol so nonchalant. Watched some Goblin and played Zelda and caught up on my gaming news. Stayed over at Nicah’s till 5am ish and ht back home.
5/15 Monday still up doing work, finally slept at 1230pm. Got all my work done so l could sleep easy. I hate sleeping w things on my mind. Got up at 6pm and did more work, hit the mall to get my digital code for Injustice 2 and bullshitted till release.
Played a ton of Injustice 2 and l was really liking Robin. Went over the ranges and speeds of his combo starters and l like his range and all but kinda dont like that when someone is in his face, he’s too slow. Also at further ranges, it may be rough to get in zoners. ‘But you can roll now’ yes spending 1 meter. It’s like trying to jump in on someone when you assume a projectile but now it costs you a meter so you really better be right. We’ll see how the game develops. Right now, lm just getting a feel for everyone and waiting for pros to discover shit and tier lists to drop and take it from there. I want someone who fits my aggressive style and is solid but not gimmicky or ridiculously OP to the point of getting nerfed asap. Played allll night and messed w some others for a while.

Bane I’m liking but l hate constantly watching his ‘juice’ character trait. To maximize it, you wanna hit it once, when its close to being finished, hit it again and then a third time when its about to run out again. That way you get maximum time before you have the negative time. If you just hit it 3 times right away, yea youre at max damage but you still have the full negative time. If you think ‘well just hit it once then take the negative time’ then you’re missing out on level 2 and 3 of the juice where the payout is better. Say its 5 seconds of that level
If you only hit it once then have negative time
5 seconds level 1
5 seconds negative time
But if you hit it right before it ends at level 1 and level 2
5 seconds level 1
5 seconds level 2
5 seconds level 1
5 seconds negative time
But if you hit it right before it ends at level 1 and level 2
5 seconds level 1
5 seconds level 2
5 seconds level 3
15 seconds negative time
You get MORE out of it since you hit level 2 and level 3, not just level 1 for 15 seconds. Hope you guys get it. His special have armor which is cool since they’re slower but seriously, lm like STARING at the juice meter rather than playing and looking at what they’re doing. It’s too much to keep track of your opponent and juice. Its also annoying needing to hit it constantly. I wish it was just a one time press of boosted time and then negative time. We’ll see.

Tues finally slept at 930am. Got up at 6pm lol yeaaaa…. Did work and got on Discord w the Scumbags. Just talked w them while taking care of work. Its just like being on the phone w a bunch of friends. Mad a ton of food and watched Into the Wormhole all night on Sci Fi.
Caught up on gaming news and played Injustice 2 still undecided on my character while talking to MattK about character choices. Played all damn night.
Weds still up from playing, when it hit 10am, it was back to work time lol. Got a ton done and then went back to Injustice 2, messing w Firestorm after a suggestion from Matt. Enjoyed him and he’s got some good shit but some flaws. Mostly the input of his most important move being awkward. We’ll see.
Hit Shogun to get sushi for Nicah and hit her place to eat… Alone cause she wanted to sleep. Headed back out to house showings w Shemmay and her family to check out some potential. Saw a really nice home and had a good time hanging out as always. Hit back to Nicah’s to nap until game night at Marisa’s.
So we ended up playing Monopoly and of course…. I WON AGAIN CAUSE I AM THE REAL ESTATE MONGULLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!1111 Haha but very good times playing w everyone. Zack shouldnt have sold me all them railroads.
Me Nicah and OJ got pizza at Alegros and stuffed face before hitting back home. More gaming news and Zelda and later on eating icecream and watching Goblin.

Thurs got up early to look at homes w VinceC. Checked out some potential and had a good time browsing. Afterwards, more house showings w Pat and Kenny. Saw one w really great potential and had a good time hanging out. Got Nicah and we hit the Reading Terminal for food. SO MANY OPTIONS so we stuffed face and got a ton of food to go too. Hit back to bum and do the usual gaming news and Zelda.
Friday we literally just bummed it allll damn day lol. It was amazing and what l needed. Running around house showings in the hot days has been exhausting. At night time we got EmilyL and SamY and we hit up pregame. Just the usual drinks and hookah and then we headed out to Rumor. Found more friends and we just partied in the hip hop room but it was really a mix of hip hop and edm. Hype club bangers of edm. Had a lot of fun and partied till closing. We then headed out to get Taco Bell cause thats our new thing lol. Its always nice to eat Taco Bell tho after a dope party night. Stopped by Chinatown to see friends and hang out on the streets lol. Finally went home afterwards to knockout.
Sat got up and Domkey and Rosie came through and jumped in my car along w Nicah to checked out homes. We saw a ton of properties and in their price range, they are good to rent anything they want anywhere they want. The big deciding factor as always was location. What lifestyle they wanted in Philly. We hit up Spruce Street Harbor after to chill, walk around, have food and drinks and just had a REALLY good day for the 4 of us. After a lot of talking, we narrowed it down to 2 favorite locations. They came through Nicah’s to hookah and chill for a lil till 10pm.
Afterwards, hit OJ’s for pregame. Paola made it through and celebrated her birthday. Partied, introduced friends to friends and played some beer pong. Just won 2 games but then went back to socializing. Nicah did well in beer pong too. Had a good time and then headed out to Coda. Got our DNA bottle and poured drinks and Paola started playing. Partied in VIP most the time and its just nice not worrying bout rando dudes trying to dance w the girls nonstop or looking for everyone through the crowd everytime l get a drink or use the bathroom. Our squad was pretty deep and just went apeshit during the club bangers section of Paola’s set. Bomb a drop once again made me lose my shit and then a new track that is now my new fav banger - Steve Aoki - Oh(deorro remix) HOLY FUCK aoir;hga;iorhgiaorhgaiorhgoaihrga
Balls out on the sofa acting like a maniac. Its really fun to just truly let loose. Partied till 3am and glad everyone came through. We got more Taco Bell before hitting back home. More Zelda till the sun coming up lol.
Sunday got up for house showings w Kev in NE for rentals and saw 2 spots but not the best of homes. NE in general tho is a bit rough. Afterwards, hit home to work on an offer for Brown. Brown and Jenny hit an open house of a home they really loved and my team was on point to work on it asap. Hit Adam’s for a mini bbq w him Alex and Danielle. They had a lot of left over food from their bbq the night before. Stuffed face, smoked hookah and hung out for a few hours. The ribs were disturbingly good. Very good hang out. Hit back to work on the offer for Brown and alo for Domkey and Rosie about their rental. Worked and bummed it alllll night.
5/22 Monday worked on Brown’s offer throughout the day and got everything sent in. Got MattK and hit The Lab where l got bodied in Pokken and in Street Fighter 5. My lack of practice is really bad lately but…. I need to make money lol. And I am very happy with how well real estate has been going the last few weeks. Had a good time hanging w everyone and me and Matt went over things in Injustice 2 as well. We got McDonalds and then dropped him off. Got groceries and Domkey came over to go over the stuff needed to apply for the rental. Def a productive night.
He’s partying without me :(
Late.
