Gonna start working out again. No soda, no candy, no icecream. I’ll try to eat less carbs. Get my six pack back. Meet a girl, play psychological warfare and make her fall in love w me. After she’s in love w me, I can get fat again. I may just actually starve myself to speed up the process but I’m pretty sure there’s a lot of negative effects w the starving route.
My plan will start in a few weeks cause I know myself and won’t lie to myself.
Oh and lately I’ve been going out more again. Showing myself why I use to be an animal bout this life before. I miss it and still enjoy it. Just being out. I love people. I love music. Either we’re dancing, playing games, talking bout whatever. I like being out. It’s weird at the club/lounge, I just feel at peace. Like I can truly breathe. Maybe cause my house is always full of hookah smoke lol. But yea, being out w people… it’s just nice. I can go apeshit, sweat acting like an idiot. Or I can chill and talk w people. Doesn’t matter. Don’t get me wrong. I love my ‘ME’ time. It can be sat night or Tues night. 10 hours of pure unadulterated bullshit doing whatever I want. If I wanna play Street Fighter V, hookah, eat sour punch straws and then watch Thor Ragnorak… whose gonna tell me no? It’s a great time.
Kk past few weeks of debauchery and sloth.
8/14 Sunday woke up early and had youtube up while working on stuff for real estate. RyanW came over and we watched Alien vs Predator 1 and 2 while eating ramen w eggs. Mad chill start to the day. Afterwards, a ton of Street Fighter V ranked matches for a while. Practicing for Summer Jam/Go for Broke/Defend the North. Was playing better and just didnt feel ‘off’ ya know? More gaming for my sunday, just more COD Warzone and got 2 rebirth wins.
8/15 Monday got up late and started work w my 2 accepted offers and 2 other friends looking to buy. Had youtube on the side. Ricky was streaming Street Fighter V so tuned into watching his matches. Also saw ThuyT was streaming COD and joined her channel to say hi and will def have to play w her sometime.
Got on COD w the guys later, got 4 rebirth wins. Ended the night eating and watching UnXplained.
Tues got up at 8am. Organizing shit on my PC and adding junk to my amazon cart cause l have a problem. Ate pasta and watched UnXplained till 12pm and then started doing real estate work. A lot going on for rentals. Near finishing touches on the 2 accepted offers and booking homes for later in the week. Brown came through to chill w me and Jeremiah. Just bumming downstairs and smoking hookah for a little and then set up for Dumpling Sessions.
Friends came through and l made a ton of pizza rolls and dumplings like we’re kids lol. Played a good amount of Street Fighter V and DNF Duel w AaronDaGawd and had a good time talking nerd shit all night. Predators, Star Wars and just cult classic bad movies. Hung out till 230am before going up to pass out.
Headed out to get chinese food and RyanW came through to chill. Ate and smoked hookah while watching The Predator. I did it. Finished alllll Predator movies. Played some DNF Duel ranked online for a while, not to be rusty and then more hookah and youtube w Jeremiah.
Hit upstairs, bullshitted online, looking up stuff on Magic the Gathering again for Modern. Hammer Time really looks fun. Who knows if l’ll jump back in. Back downstairs for more chinese food and The Black Phone. Dunno how Brown got it on his Plex but Brown is great at media anything. The Black Phone was solid. It didnt get good reviews though. Passed out early morning.
Thurs got up around 2pm to do work but then was feeling outta it and went to sleep some more. Got up later to get things for the weekend and some pizza cause lve been mad lazy bout cooking. Cooking is nice and all but sometimes, its just too time consuming. Hit home to eat and watch Its Always Sunny In Philadelphia and smoked hookah. Practicing Street Fighter V A LOT and a certain match up since lm considered 3rd seed in my pool and the 1st and 2nd seed both use the same character. Ended the night eating more pizza, smoking hookah and watching Dr Strange 2.
Friday got up. Brando and House were over to chill and got a bit of work done before hitting downstairs to chill for a lil. Headed out to get ChrisG. Got him from the airport and hit the hotel. Got the room and found friends to help carry stuff in. Had a chill session in the room and then hit downstairs for the 2v2. Me and Vada sadly got taken out early gahrighaig happens.
Hung out for a while downstairs, socializing and stuff and then set up the small party. More friends made it through. Borrowing furniture and getting caught trying to steal extra chairs lol. I spread word pretty well downstairs to everyone and had a good salty suite. Nothing too crazy. Just a nerd night w drinks, hookah and a few set ups.
Sadly didnt do well. 1-2 DNF Duel and 2-2 at Street Fighter V. Worst DNF Duel tournament results lve had. I think l was just so burnt out from so much playing for Evo. Still happy for other friends doing well and glad to see ChrisH commentate a bigger event. ChrisG was on a tear and was in winner’s bracket for everything he played. Backing up friends and yoooo Vada makes me laugh so bad. He talks so much shit to back you up. Backing up Ricky, backing up me. I even had to tell my opponent ‘sorry my friends are gonna talk mad shit heads up’.
Later on, more food at the restaurant and got a shower and set up the party. Arturo came through to set up his optimized set up. More friends came through and had 3 set ups, plenty to drink and the hookah lit. Just a fun late night playing games w new and old friends. Got in games w Smug and MetroX. Hung out late and the party went till 4am or so lol.
So yo Game of Thrones House of Dragons, loving it so far. Then She-Hulk dude… so like l dunno any She-Hulk fans like that but the show is really good too. Watched some youtube and then started Sandman on Netflix which is also really good. So many good shows. Good hanging w everyone.
8/22 Monday got up in the afternoon and did work for a bit and then got chinese food. Got on COD and got 7 wins on Rebirth and then was up all night. Just bullshitting and looking up this deck called Hammer Time in the Modern format. Standard seems so boring still in Magic the Gathering and lm looking to get back into Modern. I like Modern as things dont change sooo quickly. For Magic the Gathering not being my MAIN game, its not worth my money to stick in Standard w the constant changes and thats if I even like the meta during the time and have a deck l really enjoy. Hammer Time fits me. Stayed up all night watching more Sandman.
Tues still up, watching AMC news and doing work. Stayed up during the day getting a lot of small things taken care of. Watching more Sandman and eating more chinese food and then finally passed out at 4pm lol.
Weds got up at 330am and started work and did more reading for Magic the Gathering. Finished up Sandman and yooo this show is so damn dope. There’s just a lot of good things bout it. Yolo bought Hammer Time on Magic the Gathering Online, not to be confused w Magic the Gathering Arena. Arena doesnt have the older formats since its just from when it was released to move forward w Magic the Gathering but not include the past. Played some games and yo there is so much interactions but l see how there’s so many things you can miss on playing it and you have SOOO many options, figuring out the most optimal option may be difficult. Its a really good deck but isnt easy to play. Some decks are really good and just practically play themselves. Like as if you dont make your own choices, the choice is always obvious but w Hammer Time(like Affinity in Modern) there are A LOT of routes.
Took a nap in the afternoo and got up later to do work and chill w Brando and Jeremiah. Got Buffalo Wild Wings and RyanW came through and we watched Top Gun Maverick. Yooo such a dope movie. Tom Cruise has been on point his whole life. Its pretty ridiculous. Ended the night playing more Magic the Gathering w my new Hammer Time deck and then watching Better Call Saul.
Thurs had closing w Jonas. Things went really smooth and congrats Jonas on your new home! He was a very chill client and we took it easy, talking bout gaming and stuff while waiting for things to come in. Got sushi on my way home and stuffed face and watched shows. Really simple day.
Got on COD and got 2 wins on Rebirth w the guys and later on Alex came through to chill. Just watching youtube and stuff. Just hung out late and passed out earlier since l got no sleep the night before.
We hit downstairs for Rage Cage and beer pong. This squad plays rage cage more than any other that l know so esp early game, the caging gets pretty ridiculous. I think people forget you can pass it anywhere if you make it first shot so if you’re getting caged, just make one shot and pass it across the table. Later on played beer pong w Nick as my partner but yooo lm sorry Nick, l was totally off lol. It was bad. Partied till like 130am l think but then Vivian went up to make food and slowly everyone went up to eat more lol. Its always the food that ends the night. Hung out late and just smoked hookah and ate food while chilling till around 330am.
Showered and then hit upstairs for more KBBQ yayyyyyyy!! Stuffing face hardcore and yo, it doesnt get old. I actually never had so much kbbq that l was sick of it ya know? Where you’re like ‘ok l dont want sushi for atleast a month’ l never got to that point w kbbq.
Chilled and me and my sister Allison were watching Sandman. I love that show so much. Other people were hanging w us and then slowly everyone went to sleep lol. I had to nap too. Got up and played beer pong w Nick again. Played against Xi and Omeo and then Cliff and Vivian. We won but yooo Nick, lm so sorry lol l suck now. Playing more rage cage and yooo Shirley w the cheering. The ultimate mom of the group. She keeps it hype. Watched Kelly just throw half her drink in her mouth and the other half all over her shirt and me and people were dying laughing as there was just a big splash all over herself. Rage cage gets mad serious. Then later she was doing the Orange Justice dance which is still hilarious everytime.
Towards the end, was just hanging around, doing shots. Started w pouring shots to each other, l think my sister started and it turned into like.. Towers. Soju towers l guess. Where we were pouring soju into someones mouth while they were doing it the someone else. Got up to 4 people but it was a mess everytime. Ended the night w more food. Hung out late w people, just smoking and eating again.
8/29 Monday got up late. Started booking homes and hit downstairs to bum. Got on COD but no wins on Fortress Keep. We have to play crossplay on more often as Crossplay off we cant find matches. So yea, its rough when we’re all on PS5’s against half PC players. Got to play w Thuy too. Havent hung out w her in forever since our bboy/bgirl days. Ended the night watching Better Call Saul all night. Very sad its the final season.
Tues got up and hit house showings w David and Lynn. Saw a home we really liked and then hit back to get a massage. My lower right back was STILL hurting from Spike ball from sat. The massage was good but it wasnt a replacement for the injury. I think l just pulled or banged up a muscle there. Turned in a check, got Subway and hit home to eat and watch Better Call Saul. God such a good show. More COD and again no wins on Fortress Keep. Some of the ending circles can just really suck in that map. Alex came through to chill. We rewatched the 2nd episode of GOT House of Dragons and then watched some youtube. Talking bout Magic the Gathering Commander a lot and its kinda weird that l never got into Commander even tho lve been playing Magic the Gathering since like 1994 when Colin taught it to me in 3rd grade. Did more Commander reading upstairs for a while and ended the night eating, smoking and watching more Better Call Saul.
Weds got up late and did work for a while. Ryan came through and l made us pasta and lit the hookah. We watched the movie Orphan First Kill. I really liked the original Orphan from way back and its cool to see it was the same actress. Its just confusing thinking, the first one is a kid, playing an adult who looks and acts like a kid. Now its an adult, playing an adult who looks and acts like a kid. Def not easy to sell all that.
Got on COD and we got 3 wins on Rebirth. Played some Street Fighter V later and then went to video editing. Not really editing, more so mashing wins together and throwing on music. I just like having these clips to look back on and any friends that wanna check it out, thats cool too. Not trying to be youtube famous lol. Ended the night watched more Better Call Saul.
Thurs still up, hit BJs to get groceries and then as l got home, Brown was leaving to work. Got in his car to talk bout whatever for a while and then hit the laundry mat to get my blankets all professionally cleaned. Got home to do more Magic the Gathering reading.
I guess the time off Magic the Gathering really made me miss it. Just standard STILL seems so corny now. Its been in a bad place for a while from my point of view and what all these articles and videos are saying. I think one of the toughest things is, the meta changes TOO quickly w sets dropping 4 times a year. Its like why grind and learn so much just for things to change so much, some decks come in, some decks die. Doing this switch up 4 times within a year. The cost of keeping up w it. Like it HAS to be your main game of dont play at all. Ontop of the meta just doesnt seem fun. Its too many negatives. Its why l like Modern. Longer consistency. And the meta seems more fun. Rant over.
Watched and finished Better Call Saul and it was great and lm really sad. Been watching Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul for so long now. I hope they do bring it back in some way. The Andrew Brown Theory. If you dont see them fully die on screen, they’re not dead. After you realize this, you’ll notice it SO MUCH in movies and tv shows. Someone gets hit and they fall into water or something or fall into whatever and you DONT SEE THEM PHYSICALLY DIE, just assume they arent dead. Mace Windu(l know its been like 17 years but still) you DONT see him die, Samuel Jackason saying the same thing. You see him DIE?! No, then he aint dead. I think they do that to like give shock value of someone dying but they have the OPTION to bring them back always. Gandalf said run you fools and fell.. Came back stronger. 2nd rant over.
Slept at 4pm, got up at 10pm cause lm fucked up, chilled w Jeremiah watching this show The Bear bout chef life and then more Magic the Gathering reading into late night. Mega late night, watching the Hulu documentary on Victoria’s Secret Angels and Demons which is really cool. Just crazy how branding and shopping changed so much. Its similar to Abercrombie and Fitch. Back when the mall was full of life. Up till 2010 ish, shopping at the mall was a common thing to do when you wanted to go do something. And brands told you what was cool, they dictated that. Online shopping and Instagram Models changed all of that. Some brand names still do a good job keeping that ‘lifestyle’ it gives to you and telling you whats cool and not cool but its not the same as the past. The past, it was brainwashing level. I drank the koolaid. But the koolaid tasted good. I still love your typical Victoria’s Secret model look. Like in the past, before they had to conform to the world of accepting everyone. Think Victoria’s Secret Fashion model. Been ranting a lot lately.
Friday still up all day, playing Magic the Gathering Online w the Hammer Time deck in Modern format. Played some Magic the Gathering Online - Modern using the Hammer Time deck. So fun. I dunno if l like Hammer Time or Affinity more to be honest. They both play similar. Slide in w a hard to block creature and cheat equip it to hit hard. Using cheap artifacts to ramp and thats about it.
Visited LauraS at Langhorne Hotel after she posted earlier she was working there and its literally 3 mins from my house. Thank you for hooking up the food Laura!! Got this filet mignon sandwich which was really good and just good to catch up w her again. I think cause of facebook and stuff, you dont really MISS people from your past that bad since you can always talk w them, see what they’ve been up to and stuff so no ones really outta your life. Cause of facebook, l got to reconnect w tons of friends from elementary-high school for either real estate or for gaming or other random ways. But still it was good to see Laura in person and catch up. I think the last time l saw her was in 2014 or so. Been friends since 2nd grade.
Hit home and Brown and Sabir were outside and we just hung out and talked for a bit and then went back to watching the Victoria’s Secret documentary. Finally went to bed just for a few hours only to wake up, pick up Soju and get EmilyL and Paula. Met up w RichL and MattC for Bonchon and we had a really good meal. I cant believe they never had bonchon. But after they saw the pics l sent them, they were down for it. Trying to see Rich and Matt more often than once a year. They were 2 of my closest friends throughout college.
Next we hit Paula’s place to pregame and met some of her roomates. Lit the hookah and just had a good 2 hours chilling, drinking and smoking. Nothing too crazy. Hit Johnnie Walker Lounge and yooo, they take care of us so much there. Getting hooked up left and right and l was feeling like too guilty. Appreciate all the drinks and hookah guys. Good to catch up w Erick and lm glad to see he’s doing well. Had fun dancing at our table. The music was solid and l knew esp Matt would like it more there. Angie always taking care of our table of course. Partied till closing and then dropped everyone off to their car. Dropped Emily off and she died. Later on she told me she hasnt drank that much in 2 years lololol my god… But good to get a text back knowing l didnt just leave a dead body on the floor.
Got home and watched some of The Bear w Jeremiah while eating pasta.
Sunday finally slept at 8am. Perfect way to fuck up my upcoming week. Got up at 6pm and did work for a bit. Things moved fast lately for real estate. Its good but lm gonna be outta clients after these closings coming up… Played Hitman and then watched Nope which l liked a lot. Jeremiah liked it a lot too but Brown hated it.
Hit upstairs late night and nerded out. Playing more Magic the Gathering Online w the Hammer Time deck on Modern and then doing mad reading on magic the gathering in general into Monday.
9/5 Monday morning watched youtube and chilled w Jeremiah before he had work. Hit house showings w Harvey and Sandy and saw a spot we really liked. Good hanging as always. Afterwards, got pokebowl and then started rewatching Squid Game. Its just so damn good. Lasted till about 430pm but finally passing out.
Tues woke up at 130am. Sleep sced totally fucked. Did work for a while and then at 9am, went to get food at Giant and watched more Squid Game. More work around lunch time and finally slept again in the afternoon. Woke up to fomo of all the fun in my own house for Dumpling Sessions and hit downstairs.
Started making dumplings and cutting birthday cake for MattChang’s birthday. Happy Birthday homie!!! I love icecream cake too lol. Served up friends and then had a good time having mad nerd talk w the guys and smoking hookah. A lot of Marvel and gaming talks. Played a set w Sam in Street Fighter V. Jeremiah had Jojo’s new fighting game on the main tv. Hung out late and ended the night watching the new Lord of the Rings - Rings of Power tv show. I like it so far. I was worried l wouldnt.
Thurs got up and did real estate work before getting into cleaning mode. Cleaning my room, went out and cleaned and did the wax spray on my car. Had my IRobot cleaning my 1st floor floors. Just feels good. Brown come over to chill for a lil. Afterwards, played some games of Magic the Gathering Online Modern w the Hammer Time deck. Got on COD later and we only got 1 win on Rebirth and then it was party time.
Met up w StevenZ and his squad and got into Noto. Got our table along w his friends and met a lot of new people. Deadmau5 was playing and just being a fan of his unorthodox style, l just cared to see him play live. I’ve always liked his music since the start but l felt like l wouldnt hear a lot of the tracks l like of his thats older outside of his like mega popular old stuff, like Ghosts n Stuff, which he played. Tequila and Henny at our table and just chilled on a redbull, doing shots every now and then. Had a really good time and partied till closing.
Got home and made bulgogi for me and the roomies. Lit the hookah and ate while watching Thor Love and Thunder. A really fun movie, just wish there was more action.
Friday got up and Brown came over and we hit 7th Dimension games to get our Commander decks. We’ve been playing this game since 1994….. Crazy how some things dont change. Hit back to my house and got in a few games and then hopped on COD w the guys and got 6 rebirth wins. Midnight… me and Jeremiah watched… ALL of season 5 Cobra Kai lol. He kept pressuring me to stay up and l cant say shit bout peer pressure so l stayed. It was fun lol.
Sat got up late and hit dinner at Far East Descendant, Long’s restaurant in Chinatown for EmilyL’s birthday. We got multiple rounds of food and had a good time just being there w everyone. Stuffed face and l really like the Shrimping Toasts a lot. The sauces are also really different and cool.
Afterwards, hit David’s house for a lil after party. Just brought out my truck party gear. Soju, vodka and hookah. Got chasers and ice and just set up. More friends came through too and we just chilled all night. Got home late and just stayed up all night bullshitting online, reading on Magic, watching youtube.

Sunday morning hit downstairs to chill w Jeremiah, smoking hookah and watching youtube. Headed out to get Sandy and check out some properties and afterwards, swung by David’s again since he was pretty close and having people over to watch the football game. Had a good time just eating mad food and chilling w everyone. Eagles won yayy!!! Im just happy they win for my friends to be happy.
Hit home and Brown came over and we got a lot of Commander games in. Afterwards, played some Fall Guys and then got on COD and we got 6 rebirth wins. Specialist bonus is still pretty much cheating. Ended the night watching some of Morbius but l was awake for over 30 hours at that point and had to pass out.
9/12 Monday got up late, did real estate work for a bit and then headed out to Peppi’s to get an italian hoagie and a bunch of random big pizza slices. Ate while we won 3 games on Fortress Keep. Foresight also helps sooo much in end game. One game just plotting so hard due to where the circle would be moving to won us the game. I sho smart. Afterwards, some youtube w Jeremiah and then headed up to work on a bunch of small things. Stayed up late working on Magic the Gathering for a while. Planning what to do adjust in my Commander deck if I draw it during our drafts. I gotta go through whats in the deck to make sure l dont change my deck TOO much.
Tues morning still up, chilled w Jeremiah, watching the rest of Morbius and then this show Devil in Ohio on Netflix. Working on Magic the Gathering Commander stuff, reading through literally the entire set of cards and writing down what l like and how much l like it. Doing some work, a reply to inspection, a closing the next day and a rental. Played some Magic the Gathering Arena draft, went 6 wins 2 losses. Its crazy how you get so many more drafts in from doing well. Im doing an experiment w $100, how many drafts do l really get in? How many packs did l win? Of course, the main thing is to play and have fun. But ontop of that, its about how much more value did l get out of doing it. Finally finished up Squid Game for a second time. Such a good run. Finally passed out at 4pm.
Now your moment of Hack.
