August 8th 2017

Sup Guys, lm thinking of doing part time headhunting.

A while back, JackK said I should really find a way to get paid for all the networking I do but you cant charge your own friends for helping them get a job or giving the right introductions that lead to something more. Headhunting apparently is a lot of work but can be really good money. I don't think I'm gonna go to deep into it right now since real estate has been time consuming but when it slows down a bit, it's on my list to check out. I like working on new things constantly and getting paid is a pretty nice bonus. There's other career paths I wanna try out on the side when I get more free time. Life is fun like that.

KK my past 2 weeks.

7/24 Monday got up in the evening and just did work peacefully w the tv on. Was set to have a really chill few days at home. Got groceries, watched Naruto and played some Street Fighter 5. I also got Fortnite and played that deep into Tuesday. Fun game, cool concept but the game is a bit too easy. I havent failed or even come close to failing yet. There is no stress lol. In gaming, l dunno why stress is fun but it is. Maybe its the satisfying feeling of accomplishing something when its hard which is why we all love Dark Souls.

Tues got up around lunch time and booked homes and kinda went back to sleep. Sleep sced is totally random. Got up in the evening and played w the new character Abigail for a while who is really fun. A LOT of options, massive damage. I think he’s gonna be top tier. He does STUPID BIG damage and has a lot of answer for things. Just shitty defense. We’ll see.

Played some Fortnite and its still fun but still…… way too easy. What is the point in doing something anyone can do? Later on hit VinceZ’s and played Santorini which lm now newly obsessed w. Very simple and clever game. All about manuvering. Did some games of 1v1, 1v1v1v1 since David and Alex were playing too and also 2v2 where we all control 1 piece and no talking which makes things very interesting. Highly enjoyed that game but there is so much thinking. Afterwards, played Catan and lit the hookah and we had fun playing several games all night.

Hit home, did dishes, ate burgers and watched Naruto for a while. Played some Fortnite and later on messing w Tekken 7. Stuffed face while watching Game of Thrones and then more Tekken 7 reading. Trying to narrow down my characters.

My issue is trying to pick a top 3 and then maybe just keep it to 1 or 2.

Alisa - great poking, low execution, defensive
Akuma - DP, high punishment, high damage, 5050 mix ups
Asuka - easy, whiff punishing, DP, oki
Bryan - poke high execution
Bob - easy, great poking, versatile
Devil Jin - great pkes, well rounded, mobile, high damage, dps
Heihachi - mixups, mobile, rushdown, high damage, high execution
Hwoarang - high damage, rushdown, high execution
Jack 7 - easy, turtle, long pokes, throws, great lows
Jin - mobile, mix ups, poking, high punishing, versatile, great parry, fast rage art
King - best throws, oki, high damage
Lars - ryu, great lows, basics
Lucky Chloe - high damage, good pokes
Miguel - easy, poke, great hopkick, high damaging rage art/rage drive
Dragunov - best approach, WS punishing, wall game, pokes, high pressure

Not sure who to take out or if l should just start testing now. Finally knocked out early morning.

Weds got up at 5pm and got my checks, deposited them and got groceries. Had a lil bbq cause thats what l do. Stuffed face, lit the hookah and just had a good time bumming it. Caught up on gaming news and did a ton of work and then hit Nicah’s late night to chill.


Thurs got up late and had house showings w Ariel and saw one w great potential. The listing agent was very nice to work with as well. Afterwards, she came w us to Bonchon since they were having a Wing of Thrones event where $25 got you all you can eat Bonchon. But then again $23 is 20 wings and their wings are huge. Stuffed face and friends came through. Thank you Chris for the shots!! We had a really good time eating, suffering and drinking haha. But yoo.. Bonchon wings… always great.

Afterwards, we hit the Deck House and smoked hookah and chilled for a few hours. Gotta utilize that deck as much as we can before it gets too cold. Got monies from Long for payments for the last few weeks and hit Nicah’s to bum. Gave her a 1.5 hour massage as l was watching a ton of pro players trying out Abigail online. Def could be one of the strongest characters in the game. He capitilizes on fear and good reads. She passed out half way into the massage…. Ended the night playing w Abigail a ton.


Friday hit up Chinatown Square to meet w everyone bout hookah night weds. They will have hookah in private rooms as well but wednesday will be my nights and they will be discounted. A big thing is training the rest of the staff for when l’m not around. Thank you David for the pork buns. So damn good. We lit a hookah, tested some things, showed them some things and talked numbers about a bunch of stuff. Nicah came through later on too. It was half hang out, half meeting. Working with friends can only be so serious ya know? I’m excited though to work there mostly because my friends are there. Afterwards, we got bubble tea and hit back to shower and then start pregame.

So we held pregame at Nicah’s and tons of friends came through. John and his friend was running the table. Not sure what happened to my beer pong skills lately. I do wanna do a house party somewhere soon tho. Had a good time and then afterwards, hit Monarch for our pool party. Got hooked up w a bottle and we just drank, ran around to socialize and played in the pool. It was someone else’s bday as well at the table next to us as tons of friends were there. The rain only came here and there and it was very little thankfully but the rain did scare people from coming through in general which sucked. But nothing I could do bout it so its one of them, just make the best of it situations. Partied till 2am and ended the night at a lil after party at Allison/Andy/Jeff’s. Lit the hookah and just hung out till late.


Sat got up and we just left straight to the Tuner Evolution Car Show. Hung out w a bunch of friends, ran around and checked out some cars and stopped by the bboy battles to see friends. Met Nicah’s model friend who had her own booth and just ran around. Not a bad event but it’s the same old thing every year and lm not into cars lol.

Afterwards, hit the Deck House to hookah and ate a lil sushi. Talked to them about promotion ideas. Bummed it there for only a little and then hit back to get Nicah since she wanted to nap earlier and then we hit AC for David’s birthday.

Got to AC and hit pregame and did shots and smoked hookah. Met a ton of new people and pregame was a ton of fun. After they all hit the club, a few of us stayed back to hookah and talked bout a ton of shit for the next hour or so.

Afterwards, we hit the casino to find food and then gambled. Taught new friends how to play craps as well which their $10 lasted them over 30 mins lol. I started with $100 and got to teach Nicah how to play. We had a lot of fun as the money went up and down like crazy. Some really bad luck but then the few times l yolo bet a lot more than average, it paid off. After over 2 hours of laughing praying to the alien gods Zenu, l lost $32. Same thing as taking Nicah to the movies. Had so much fun and -$32 is nothing. Now if it was -$100, l would be feeling the pain a bit but l knew it was at risk going in. At 4am we finally left lol.


Sunday got up to help Zack and Marisa move w the Squadron. God l hate moving but atleast we had a lot of friends. All afternoon we moved and joked around. Afterwards, we hit Chinatown again for food cause thats where all the food is. Got food at Chinatown Square and swung up to say hey to friends. We ended up hanging out there all night lol. Lit the hookah and sat around w friends having drinks and hookah while eating. Finally got back to Nicah’s to nap.

Got up later and we hung out for a lil before l hit home. Did a ton of work, caught up on mad gaming news and caught up on Game of Thrones into monday morning.


7/31 Monday got up in the evening and had real estate work to do. New clients which is great. Got MattK(Plural) and hit up The Lab in Hatboro for tournaments. So l only been messing w Tekken but didnt even find a main yet so l didnt enter that. Just Pokken and Street Fighter V. Pokken which l only play at tournaments for now until Pokken DX comes to the Switch. Then l’ll be training hard again in that. Also will be trying to learn a new character against zoners. Also haven’t been playing much Ed since I hardly get time to play Street Fighter V as is. But l did surprisingly well and came in 3rd. Beating 2 people who usually/always beat me. Not sure what happened. I did practice for an hour tho before the tournament so maybe l was much more fresh. Had fun and watched a lot of Tekken. Still trying to get the flow of that game. It’s very different.

Afterwards, hit home and played Playerunknown Battlegrounds w MattH, another Matt that a lot of my friends are friends w but l never met and SteveF. Had fun and def picked up that game quick since its pretty much a cleaner version of H1Z1. I see why the game is so huge. It’s addicting cause you spend so much time looting running and being paranoid and then the fights are quick and exciting but if you lose, that’s it. Played a while and we were doing decently well, coming in the top 30% most the time which is fine for being new to it. Played a lil after they got off and yooo.. Outta 100 people, l lasted to Top 16 in Solo.

Watched some Naruto and wanted to test some shit for Abigail and play some Ed cause l was all hype. Played all night into Tues.


Tues l was up still playing like a mad man. Enjoying myself. Played till 2pm lol and finally slept. Got up at 8pm and did work for a while and then more PUBG w the Scumbags. More work and then rewatching Game of Thrones’ newest episode while eating. Then more Street Fighter V playing Abigail and Ed into weds lol.

Weds still up, caught up on my gaming news and was reading and watching videos on the Tekken characters lm interested in till 11am. Narrowed down my list some more. Finally knocked out and then got up later to get my haircut and hit the Johnnie Walker Lounge for my first day on another part time job as the Hookah Manager.

Angie and Jenny were working with me and the 3 of us held it down as we got flooded 1030-1230 with nonstop packing hookahs. We def had a lot going on and tons of friends came through to hang, drink and hookah. Got a ton of free food as well as free drinks but l didnt start drinking till it slowed down around 1230am. It’s cool, l was told to drink and socialize w guests. Tough work l know lol. The other managers are pretty chill and David and Kenny are really nice to work for. Had a really fun night working. Ended the night hitting Nicah’s to eat and sleep.


Thurs got up for house showings w Nicah. Saw some potential but overall… lm not a fan how if its close to campus they can just upcharge a rough apartment. We hit Shogun for dinner as MattH and GifH were back to visit home. Though l talk to Matt all the time on discord when we play games together, its nice to spend time with him in person. Had a big group of close friends and had a really good dinner tho it took a while to get going lol. Hibachi and sushi is always great.

Ended the night hitting Vince’s to play Terforming Mars w David and Vince but yooo deep game but so long and not like…. A game to fuck people over or put clever plays on people right away. Santorini and Catan are just the best games. Hung out for a while before hitting home and doing work. We watched documentaries and stuffed face and read some gaming news before sleeping.


Friday got up late and did work for a lil before me and Nicah stuffed face at Baja Fresh. Pretty damn good and yooo all those salsa choices and chips is so dope. Hit Vince’s cause we like love there and we had Game Night all night. A bunch of friends came through and we just played Exploding Kittens, Santorini and Catan.

Me and Nicah won a long ass 6 player game by building 4 cities and 2 settlements. Thuy also won a game she thought she was gonna lose and snuck it back in. God its so addicting. The fucking people over part is just funny and entertaining in general. Played just sooo many games and me and Nicah make a great time(sometimes) as we were killing it in 2v2v2 Santorini. Just the corner strat of just having a triangle in the corner to bounce around and blocking off other workers w our own worker so they cant stop us in time is something people always miss. You gotta play defense earlier than you believe. Played games for damn 8 hours. I needed this night tho to get in games. I just really enjoy it.

Hit home to work on rentals, eat and watch more documentaries w Nicah before sleeping.


Sat we got up late and hit up Bonefish Grill for Thuy’s birthday. A lot of friends made it out and just had a really good dinner and yoooo the green tea cake was banging as weird as that kinda cake sounds. Had steak and these shrimp lobster things. They were amazing. Next up we hit Nicah’s pregame back in Philly.

Got Ariel and we set up pregame and a shitloada people came through. Pregame was a lot of fun but…. Still losing to JohnPi in beer pong… l dunno how he just goes on fire and hits 6 cups in a row…. I’ve been… dethroned. Introduced a lot of friends to each other and met some new people as well. Afterwards, hit up Coda but we couldnt get Nicah in. Got the bottle situation set up and drove Nicah back sadly. But we wont have to worry bout this anymore in a few weeks. Went back to tip the bottle girls, take pics, party and socialize and run up on stage to hang w Paola for a lil. Had a good time and afterwards dropped off friends. Andy was down to hookah so just stopped over to smoke and talk bout the EDM, club and lounge scene in NY NJ PA MD and DC. We got back to Nicah’s to eat and then she realized she forgot stuff at my place back home. Since we were invited to go to Ultrazone anyway… we drove back to my place at 7am lol.


Sunday me and Nicah got up and figured out Ultrazone. Met up w Zack Marisa Thuy and Vince for Lazer Tag but not a lot of the group was making it out from such a busy weekend. I was fine with it since there was a lot of people playing. 37 players….. So the layout is the exact same as it’s been since lve been going since 1996. Hit the bases, shot up people coming to the bases and ran upstairs to just blast people in general. Of the 37 players.. I TOOK 3rd!! Still got it. I use to take 1st-3rd often when I was 10-12 yrs old as well. I was much more hyperactive then but I think now, I just have better aim and I’m not freaking out.

Afterwards, we hit Vince’s, my other home away from home to play Catan Explorer’s and Pirates. Its a lot of fun and a lot of new mechanics but there isnt much player to player interaction. It’s fun but I think normal Catan and Catan 5-6 players is still my favorite. We’ll see, we only did the 2nd layer of 5 layers. Afterwards, watched Game of Thrones and damnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn… l want a Dragon now but they arent on Amazon. Hit back home to do work, play w the Scumbags on PlayerUnknown BattleGrounds for a bit where we kept doing well but no 1st place yet… drove Nicah home at 1am and then more eating, Game of Thrones again, gaming news and bullshitting all night.


Bae can take all my energy ;)

Late.
