Sup Guys, lets talk about Spider-Man and my childhood cause this blog is bout ME ME ME ME MEEEEE!!!
Growing up, Spider-Man was my favorite superhero. I had random comics, mad toys, watched the show. I literally had 4 bowls of the Spider-man cereal the day l got it. Looking up to Spider-Man growing up, l always wanted my body to be like Spider-Man. I never wanted a buff look, a Thor/Captain America/Hulk look. I wanted a tall, fit look and thats how l grew up to be. Maybe a bit skinnier than Spider-Man lol but whatever. Anyway, its crazy how Spider-Man is back to being all over. When the MCU started, they wanted to give bigger shine to so many other heroes. Im glad they did. But its good to see Spider-Man get his shine again. No Way Home was damn amazing. Go see it. Shoutout to Uncle Ben.
Kk past few weeks.
12/13 Monday up from Sunday, watched videos on builds for COD Warzone. I dunno if l should focus TOO hard on making some new solid guns incase of the next balance update. The issue can be, sometimes it can be a while and sometimes it can be in a week where they’ll balance a few or a lot of guns. Immediately some of these guns can become top tier or unviable. Stayed up watching Ancient Aliens for a while and passed out early.
Got up later on. Sending in offers, working on another deal and setting up bdays for friends. MattK and Brando came over to chill and hookah and l just played some Street Fighter V w Luke, got him to Platinum on my other account. Did more work and yooo so much is going down. AMC is also taking a shit. Ughhh
Got on COD w the guys and did some multiplayer and one game of Warzone. Had fun w everyone, just leveling up guns but gahhh l feel like the second l build some guns, they’re gonna get nerfed. Just a gut feeling. Stayed up late, watching mad videos on AMC and the stock market in general.
Tues got up and hit my dentist. Getting new invisalign trays and also did a cleaning. Got home to work on the new accepted offer and harass Statefarm to do their job as its been 2 weeks now and every person assigned to me does not answer their calls during their office hours and the THIRD person assigned to me isnt even back at the office for another week according to his voicemail. Crazy how long Ive been paying Statefarm for car insurance and never needed them and for all the years I’ve owned my home and when l finally actually need them, the customer service is absolutely dog shit. I always hear horror stories about insurance companies but holy shit.
Got on COD W the guys later and got a Warzone win. We camped towards the end to have a full team to the final circles and got it clean. Was using the PKM again since its great recoil, great damage, 200 rd mag because this Pacific Warzone map is so open and yooo its still kicking ass. The thing is, close-mid range fights, lm not that mobile. Its a hold here, aim down sight and kill kinda gun. Cant run and gun which would be asking for too much anyway.
Ended the night w some Street Fighter V Luke on ranked again. Almost at Super Platinum. I’ll get him to Diamond soon. Hoping l get him him higher than that soon enough.
Weds got up early, had terrible sleep. Crazy dreams, phone calls, waking up thirsty as shit, it was a rough day. On and off sleep and finally got up at 5pm…. Yeaaa…. So got work done. Smoked hookah w Jeremiah. Got more work done and set up cooking for me and Ryan. Played COD for just 2 games and then Ryan came through and made lobster vegs and mash potatoes. Watched Hawkeye and the Screencrush things we missed. Played mad Street Fighter V w Luke afterwards. Working on my dps, punishes and all the other basics. Its like learning a game all over again.
Thurs got up and had Statefarm come in to check my floors to cut me a check for the floor and wall damage. MattK came through to hookah and we watched Luke videos. Going over Luke w Matt and talking bout match ups. He’s always good to talk to about fighting games. He just gets it ya know? Hit back upstairs to do work for my 2 deals and work on a rental for a friend.
Hit my office party and yoo food was banging. Good spending time w everyone and it was chill. Got multiple plates of food as l starved myself lol. Gotta take advantage of good food. Had to dip early though for Spider-Man.
Hit Spider-Man No Way Home!! Jeremiah Ryan and Ron and yoooo dude… it was a rollercoaster. Def got way more emotional than expected. So much going on, so much nostalgia and tho it gets everyone, lm so big on nostalgia. Its just a good feeling. Dont want to spoil anything but its def an amazing movie.
Friday got up and hit house showings w Hyeon. Checked out some potential spots and talked bout our AMC shares lol. Good hanging w her as always. Got home and did some Street Fighter V for a while and later Sam came through to chill. Just played games, checking out DNF Duel and ended the night late night w youtube videos on AMC.
Sat got up late and hung out downstairs. The guys were hardcore on DNF Duel. I started on Crusader. Easy execution, high damage. Sounds good to me. Fun to play, the wall is FAST, damage can be stupid high, simply but powerful mindgames. Def a good choice. Thanks Jeremiah.
Got on COD w the guys for a while and then later headed out. Went to pregame for Gah’s bday. Big pregame, lit the hookah and met a lot of new people. Gah and Dana’s squad were mad friendly. Had fun having some drinks and getting to know everyone and then we headed out to JWL for his birthday. Popped bottles and danced on furniture. Saw a bunch of friends and swung by Hang/David’s table. Glad EmilyD was w us too to be hype w. Partied till 2am and then afterwards, Dana Gah Emily jumped in my car and we hit back for a lil after party. Just mad food and chips and stuff. Good hanging w everyone and got home mad late.
Sunday got up for a team party at Mary’s house. Just hung out, had drinks, bunch of food and just hung out w everyone in the team. Thanks Mary for hosting. Its crazy cause l dont get to see my team that many times each year. Everything is done online and actually thinking of it, there’s never a NEED to meet up anytime for work. Its always office events and stuff we see each other. Or when lm grabbing stuff from the office and happen to see them.
Got home later on and messed w DNF Duel for a while. Picked up burgers from Harvest(thanks team for the gift card). Bison burgers from Harvest are so banging. Played mad DNF Duel w Jeremiah and then eventually got mentally burnt out lol. Chilled for a lil then napped then back down to chill late night haha. We hung out all night, just bullshitting. Playing more DNF Duel and watching Netflix and then getting on COD to level up guns.
12/20 Monday still up leveling up the BAR which is a gun l really love. When built right, there’s no recoil and its a 4 shot kill. 3 shot kill if there’s any headshots mixed in. The range is great. Just slow firerate so its not a run n gun kinda gun. Just focused on long engagements. Which is how l like to fight.
Headed out to get the mall to get toys for some friends kids but couldnt find shit at the mall oddly. Weird but Target was the spot. Ran into Pat by chance who was also looking for stuff. Crazy timing lol. Found a bunch of stuff and just grabbed a ton of stuff. Got groceries afterwards and hit home to do work.
After my real estate work was done, l got to eat and watch Netflix. Got on COD w the guys later and we got a win. Yayyy lol. The BAR dude…. I love it so much and the guys are so tired of hearing bout it. Ended the night on youtube w Jeremiah.
Tues l slept all day. Got up in the evening to do a lil work and set up for Dumpling Sessions. Friends came through and l made the mac n cheese w arugula and baby tomatoes again. Def one of the better and more favorite dishes l started making. Just a chill night. Nothing too crazy. Made some money on Salty bets later w the guys. Stayed up late and at 3am me and Jeremiah watched the Matrix Resurrection which was mehhhh…
Weds got up late as did real estate work first. Figured out dinner and just got on COD w the guys. Some multiplayer first as we had a ton of people and then did Warzone when we got down to 4 people and got a win.
Rewatching some of Matrix Resurrection cause Jeremiah fell asleep half way through the night before and yoo hahaha he hates it so much. Ahhh its pretty sad to see. Did work late night and ended it watching youtube.
Thursday got up at 130pm cause MattK came through to wake me up to hang hahahaha. It feels like something I’d do to others. Hit downstairs to smoke hookah and chill for a while. Bummed all day really. Got on COD Warzone w the guys for a lil and then just ended the night watching Netflix w Jeremiah.
Friday slept 16 hours. Got up at 8pm… Lol yea. Got on COD w the guys and then watched some Netflix. Did really do much but oddly l did fall asleep late night. Not sure why l was still so tired.
Sat got up late and Matt and Amy were over to chill. Hung out w them for a while and then got on COD w the guys and we got a win. Was in this mood and well… me and Jeremiah stayed up all night watching all 3 of TobyM’s Spider-Man movies hahaha. Was def a fun time. But yea… Spider-Man 3, way too much going on.
Sunday l got up as l couldnt sleep and Alex came through. Jeremiah came down and we watched The Amazing Spider-Man(Andrew Garfield) and yooo its still so good. Like, rewatching it, it is really well done. Finally after the movie l was able to pass out. Got up late night and was up all night.
12/27 Monday l was up all night, just bullshitting. My mind was everywhere. Eventually Matt and Amy came to hang out at lunch time. Matt played some RE7 again and its really cool looking back at this game. Good hanging but second they left, l died and passed out hard for the rest of the night.
Tues got up at 330am. Just bullshitted online. Planned for my work and later on started Five Night at Freddy’s Security Breach which is cool, kinda scary but kinda toooooo easy and linear. Like… l think this is a nice scary game for kids. Its just, very basic. Hit upstairs to do work and make calls for my floors and walls as l finally got a number from Statefarm on my claim.
Later on played some Street Fighter V and then COD Warzone and got another win w the guys. Brando came over to chill too. Hung out till close to midnight but ended up passing out before midnight.
Weds got up at 8am. Just worked and chill and later Alex came to pick up stuff so we hung out, lit the hookah and watched documentaries on Netflix. Headed out to get groceries and got stuff for a cajun boil. Was gonna order from Crab Du Jour but l wanted to try it myself. Got on COD Warzone for a lil and then started cooking. RyanW came through and we stuffed face and l bought way too much food lol. Watching Book of Boba Fett and the screencrush video to follow. Food was solid and good hanging.
Hit home to play more Street Fighter V and then ended the night watching the movie Dont Look Up which was fun.
Friday got up in the evening and just played Street Fighter V and COD Warzone w the guys and got another win. Back to more Street Fighter V. Hard life ya know? We watched Amazing Spider-Man 2 and yoo, Andrew Garfield was such a good spider-man. Just the 2nd movie, yea they just THREW IN Green Goblin for a single bullshit fight and that was it. Took the whole night off easy. Just mad Netflix. Made some basic ass shrimp broc and started watching Singles Inferno w Jeremiah. The nicest, most polite dating game show ever lol.
Sat got up at 9pm cause l have no self control. Oh yea Happy New Year lol. So more Street Fighter V and COD multiplayer w the guys. More Singles Inferno w Jeremiah and some youtube. Just took it easy allll night. Food hookah and shows. Hung out till 5am before he went up.
I started playing Street Fighter V and started working on my punish guide for Luke. Ended up working on it throughout the night.
Sunday still up, still working on my guide, ended up playing till lunch time. Got off and Jeremiah woke up lol. We started watching Cobra Kai and just took it easy. Hung out till 5pm till I passed out.
1/3 Monday got up at 5am. Watching AMC/BB stock videos and preparing for my day. Time to be responsible. Got a lil errands done. Got chinese food. Played a lot of Street Fighter V again and watched the documentary Icarus on Netflix. Simple day and was def productive. Got things set up for my closing on thurs though l cant be there since l was gone at Magfest. No complaints. Ended up getting tired at 6pm and passed out early.
Tues got up at midnight and started my day lol. My day keeps starting earlier. Just getting small stuff done throughout the night and then at 3am started to hang w Jeremiah. Watching mad episodes of Cobra Kai. Its like… this show is something l wouldnt normally watch but then some of the dialogue is so off the wall, its amazing again. The fights arent like anything amazing but its more so seeing these big ass brawls, l dunno, theres something about it thats mad fun.
Played Street Fighter V for a while. Got my Luke close to Ultra Platinum. I def think l can go past Diamond with him. My DP game is much better. So I still cant DP to a jump in on pure reaction but lm like ALWAYS kinda looking for the jump, that lm kinda almost ready. Its not like cr.hp where l can do that on reaction to any jump. The basic ass Fireball - anti air game is huge w Luke. Im like relearning it differently since his fireball speeds are insane but you cant really fireball trap someone w a slow one that can be thrown and then anti air their jump. Its just every fireball is a risk.
Headed out to run errands for a while and then back home to eat and watch shows. Finally starting the new season of Dexter. Def very hype for it. Cant believe it ended back in Sept 2013. Now its back. Lit the hookah and finished Cobra Kai w Jeremiah. Dude we ran through this season 4. It was just fun. I really enjoyed it and l like how they set up for season 5.
More Street Fighter V and got to Ultra Platinum w Luke. Only gonna take me a week another week to get to Diamond, lm sure of it. I’m happy lm not like STUCK in Gold or something w Luke and that it’d take me a full year or 2 to get to Diamond w him. Through learning multiple characters over time, l know what to look for faster and faster. How to build my pressure routes. Write out everything so l know what is optimal at every single range and how plus l have blocking an opponents unsafe attack. Just understanding the character Luke was a bit wonky cause it’s like… is he a rushdown? He seems like a zoner. All around? Where l do feel like he’s actually a lot like Guile. Zoning but can go in pretty well. His fireball game is totally different being SO fast. It just sets a tone that ‘at any time, a near fullscreen fireball can hit you. So now, are you going to jump when in range?’ which then sets up anti airs. Though the risk of every fireball is pretty much, if they jump and l threw a fireball, l lost 25% of my life. My fireball patience game has gotten way better. Was throwing too many then l was barely throwing any, then l was throwing too much again and now lm throwing just the right amount. Of course, jump ins still happen but not nearly as much and l also control the pace. Im just glad, lm not truly starting from the very beginning w him and l learned him so quickly.
Passed out at 7pm or so. Woke up to Vee dropping off gifts. Thank you Vee!!!!!111 Glad to hang even though it was short. Passed back out.
Weds got up at 5am. Watching Ancient Aliens and eating mac n cheese. Its a good life lol. Picked up a rapid covid test from Serena, thank you and thanks Vee for helping me get one. Negative as l thought since l felt fine. Lit the hookah, played Street Fighter V all morning and yoo l was on a rampage in the Ultra Platinum league lol. Got 13 wins straight, later got another 12 straight. Its crazy how the more patient higher level player are easier for me. I feel like The Super Platinum and below are SO random, you just gotta punish them and react to stuff cause like anything can happen. Got chinese food and later on helped Brown move out his old sofa, took half of it and threw out another older half, that also use to be Brown’s when he owned my house lol. Confused? Watched Boba Fett and played some Street Fighter V before heading to Bounme’s in Maryland.
DavidV made it over and we lit the hookah and chilled while Bounme made onigiri. Bet $5 on there would be 26 or less. I lost… there was 27 made…. Had a good hang out and passed out a bit after midnight.
Thurs hit Magfest and took a lil while to settle in. Made stuff to bring
in, unload, move around furniture. The rest of the squad got there
pretty fast and way earlier than l expected. Had everyone come to my
room. Also got an atrium room again dead centered as always. Had drinks,
started gambling and set up Nidhogg 2 for people to start playing and
learning since we were hitting the tournament later on.
Got to
the tournament and the staff asked if I would like to commentate. I
asked the group who is down to do it w me and Henry was down. Had fun
commentating as we had fun but really went over strategy and weapon
match ups and what was a common theme among players. A lot of weapon
throwing at spawn. Had mad fun commentating and playing.
https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1255190305
24:50 me vs Henry lol
Fun
commentating my friends playing each other and other people. Na won the
$20 too. There was a bag where you grab a random amount of MPoints aka
magfest cash redeemable at the dealers room.
Afterwards, l hit
met up w friends and ran around the arcade and console rooms. Playing
random shit here and there. Nothing too crazy. Its more nostalgic in
there. Ended the night having people back in my room to gamble again. We
got such a problem but yo, its so fun. Hookah, gambling, drinks. It was
a solid day one lol.
Friday got up early for tournaments. Got rough sleep. I love my friends but omg the snoring… Got up and hit tournaments. First the Tetris tournament which l beat my first opponent and lost to my second(who ended up winning it), Ngoc did really well coming in 3rd l believe. We also did the Crossniq+ tournament. Clever game but l dont get how the locking works. I just do my best and hope for the best. Lost to Ngoc in finals lol. Took a lil break in the afternoon and then hit the Street Fighter V tournament.
First time using Luke for a tournament. Beat my first opponent being a Guile, beat my second opponent which was a R.Mika player. 3rd opponent was my friend Ludovic where we also played on stream at Summer Jam. He beat me and ended up also winning the tournament. I took 5th of 24 players. Totally fine w that for my first tournament w Luke.
https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1256496990
More gambling back in my room along w the hookah and drinks. Did really well on gambling and now l gotta buy more own set lol. We checked out to concert and Replay Lounge and mehhh lol. Just a lil adventure me and David went on. Hit AJ’s room to chill and drink for a lil then another hotel party that wasnt my scene lol. Hit back to the room and chilled. The squad was playing board games. Had movies on and lit the hookah.
Sat got up and hit downstairs to do hardcore shopping and arcade since l barely got to do either of those in the first and second day. Just yolo solo’d it. Got some Street Fighter stickers and some D&D items for the squad. My feet and lower back were aching from all the running around. Played some arcade games. Some nostalgic stuff, some music games, some fighting games and then hit back to the room to chill w people for a lil.
Back down to watch MattK play Tekken. He also came in 5th outta 32 players. I do like watching his King. If l were to play Tekken, the little l did, King would be the character l play too. Hit back to Bounme’s room to chill for a lil and then Clarise knew of the surprise Triforce Quartet concert at the gazebo. Im glad she knew about it but yooo why they keep it a secret?! So they played some Zelda, Hollowknight, Mario, Pokemon. Just a bunch of stuff everyone knows lol. It was pretty awesome as it always is. Hookah lit, drink in hand. Felt like royalty on my balcony, over watching the performance. I can be so pretentious lol but it was soooo nice. Really just chilled out and enjoyed it.
Later on Brandon(dr chaos) came through w a girl he’s dating and we got to catch up big time. Talk about gaming, DC and everything. I brought up how Lud took me out and then we hit up Lud. Lud came through w a small squad. Just drinks and hookah and chilling. Good hanging w everyone. Later stopped by board games to visit the squad. Me and David went on an adventure lol. Concert fail. Ggs. Back to the room for more gambling!! Kimily came through too and glad l got to see her before the event was over. Went up a lil bit more and ended the weekend up $120ish. Watching movies, lit the hookah and we stayed up pretty late.
Once again, Magfest was really fun. Just good being w friends, making new friends, running around, doing whatever we want. Tournaments like crazy. Seeing some cool shit. Its such a fun trip.
Sunday got up and packed up and drove back. Dropped off Bounme David and Ngoc and hit back home. Got Halal food and shisha on the way back. Took it real easy. Watching Single’s Inferno and yooo lol its such a different kinda dating show. I dunno, l just really like it. Single’s inferno and youtube w Jeremiah for the night.

Got on Street Fighter V and had a FT10 w Ludovic. He kicked my ass w his Chun-Li 10-0. Saved it so l can study it later. He just gets me in the corner so quickly and knows how to keep me in there. Good games homie. Def good to have friends who are really good to learn from.
RyanW came through, made serious nachos and watched episode 2 and 3 of Book of Boba Fett. Really loving this show. I cant tell if lm biased or not cause its like, lm going into it WANTING to love it ya know? But actually, it is just what the fans want. Story and action. They are fleshing out more things and giving greater detail to Tatooine. Im really liking it. Watched the Screencrush videos on the episodes we watched and then started watching The Eternals. Ended the night hardcore labbing Street Fighter V w my oki situations w different combo enders. Figuring out maximum optimization.
Thurs got up and people came in to work on putting in new dry wall for my house. Hit Brown’s to help w a tv but then it wasnt ready yet. Got my checks, deposited them, got chick-fil-a and dropped some off to Brown and his family, the guys working on my house and for me while watching Dexter New Blood. New lights and slapped my sticker on there of 3 of the M.Bison dolls. Played Street Fighter V for a lil bit and then got on COD Warzone w the guys and we got another 2 wins.

Ate that while watching Dexter New Blood and then ended up the phone w TinaT for a while to catch up.
Got on COD Warzone w the guys and got 3 wins and headed out to Johnnie Walker Lounge for Erick’s birthday. Did shots and thanks for the drinks everyone. Happy Birthday Erick. Cool to see he’s a manager now and lm very happy for him.
