Forever Young

The basketball championship trophy now resides here in Boston no thanks to my personal effort, but thanks to the collective effort of everyone who supported the Celtics on their epic journey to number 17. I learned some things from this championship final, about valor, mental and emotional toughness, but I learned a bit about myself. A lot of people are curious about what make a person into a sport fan, and I came to the conclusion of appreciation and pride. People see the players and the stunning feats they complete while in game. Then these same people attempt to do the feats they observed by the professionals on television and realize, “that’s not that easy.” Appreciation for the sports and athletes derive from this realization.

I experience the climactic blow-out win with Tyler, Felipe, Amar, Jamie, Craig, Steve, Brad, and Alex. Felipe picked me up from my house and we just chilled, organized up and headed out. He drove to JP and waited for a few hours just to get me. He is a good friend indeed. I had to organize up with Dre, so it took like 30 minutes. We pulled up to Tyler’s to find Jamie and his girlfriend making out in the driveway. I met her at anime Boston this past year. I invited her and him to my room for some drinks and good times. She had to be one of the most annoying people I met all year. She is very bossy, thinks she is correct all the time, and bias. Not a good mixture of traits in conversations with me! We interrupted enough for Jamie to come to the car to say hello, but went right back to kissing her after we got out the car and headed inside. I thought I was funny to see him hit pause and resume on her. They had wings for food, and I got some sauce in my eye. *no homo* It burned like hell, but no damage. I got pretty blasted and went home with Felipe some hours later.

Wednesday was DSL at work, both jobs. I went to Samurai for lunch. It was my third visit and they still did not recognize me. Needless to say I was slightly upset. Qing came to the second job and spent time with me. We thought of going to a movie, but then decided to just go home to my house to see if my mom made food. We chilled out for a little while, ate and then Chris decided to come get his charger he left. I entertained him until about 12:30 and then he left. We watched a ton of music videos and I really enjoyed everyone’s company for the first time in a while. Kanye was top choice. Qing and I spoke about his behavior recently, as well as the behavior of a lot of others. I played some DoTA while she slept, and then went to sleep in anticipation for my day off.

I woke up early to bring Qing. Then back to bed. Then back up to bring my dad. Then I miss the parade. That’s how my day started, but like a good day off, you never let bullshit keep you down. I still pressed on to meet Kevin in the common. There were still hundreds of people moving about after the parade which apparently wrapped up in under and hour and a half. Not typical, but it is what it is. We sat in the grass after grabbing a bottle of Bawls. We just observed the scene and chatted. There were tons of distractions due to the amount of people. We saw three fights in the hour plus that we were there. The details of the fights have been shared several times already, and I have no pictures >.< . We eventually met up with Matheus in Park St. We obviously had to wait for 20 minutes or more. On the way to Heath three girls came onto the T each dressed very differently, but still stylish. I asked which he thought was best, and he picked the girl in the Navy, White and Red. Good choice. I told Felipe I would drive over and get him, and we headed over once in JP. I picked him up and headed home through the VFW parkway. On the way I was driving on a 2 lane street separated by a double yellow. You see there was a SLOW ass car in front of me and I hate going mad slow on an open street. I did the only thing to resolve the issue which was to proceed into illegal overtaking procedures by entering the lane for oncoming traffic. While speeding down the wrong lane drift city style, cars began to appear from the turn ahead; this was unexpected. Now with danger heightened I had to overtake and turn back into my lane. I sped forward and with speed and precision turned my wheel right to over take and miss the head on collision. I like to bring the party. We chilled out for a while at my house, went to Zesto', gamed, listened to music, and tried to get VPCDJ to work. All interesting day. Friday I thought was going to be a poor day. I dressed P.I.M.P and then do nothing? Bullshit. I went through the day cruising around the office looking for people to talk to, I ended up calling the Abroad office and JT while I had free time. We planned to meet up and chill out for a while, I ended up going to Newbury Street to meet them in HnM. I know the store is wack, but they are there so I have to go meet them. There were so many girls out grilling me, because I was wearing red shirt, blilver tie, black vest, and shades. When I met them JT was alone, and Sylvia was shopping. We didn't have to wait in line because JT cut the crowd. We headed to Super88 so she could get Tea. I got a green apple slush and it was sub par. We went to my house after, chilled for while. JT had to meet people for a movie so we ordered Nemo’s to feed Syvlia quickly and then they dropped me off and went home. I VPCDJ some more and then DoTA with Matheus and Kevin, I do not recall what heroes, but we were –arem and there were several games including one that crashed while I was Silencer. I am not going to lie, my memory is getting “hazy” about this day.

Saturday I woke up late into the day, cleaned up a bit and ordered some food. Qing came over and a whole mess started. I do not even understand what happened, I just know I asked some simple questions. What is the issue, who’s fault do you attribute it to? How do you think you can resolve it? How do you think I can resolve it? What do you think we should do together to find a solution? Although there was more then one occasion that she had no response during our diologue I chalked it up as nervousness and confusion over her inability to construct new substantial ideas on the fly. The rest of the day was cleaning, chilling and being home. We went to Stop and Shop and bought a ton of stuff, drinks, chips, cookies, and steak. We were going to be join a BBQ by Ryans house later. It was weak to say the least, so we ate some hot dogs and steak took a few vodka and red bulls and home around 12:30. Something funny happened though, out of no where Ryan became extraordinarily competitive with me about consumption. Even though I have eaten more food then him and drank more then him on multiple occasion. This is what happens when you stop chilling with someone for a year, they for some reason think they magically develop pass you, and you are left where he last knew you. That is what I would consider a noob mistake. We bought a watermelon and stop and shop, and he said he could eat more then me. Now I have eaten watermelons against others, at camps, at picnics, and at parties so I was like I have not in a while, but sure. I cut him a piece (the smaller piece) and take my piece and then we count to three… I dove in and in 3 bits the watermelon was 85% done, he did not even bite into his he just watched. I said nothing to his inability to even compete and just noted the faggotry in my head.



“I am sure you’ll be great at that, like you are at everything else”-The Orc. Compliment? I doubt it.



Sunday Qing left to go to Dj tiesto’s concert in Connecticut with Ysis. And suddenly the clouds opened up and Lost Odyssey hovered into my 360 and I played 5 hours of it. Hard to pick up, but good game so far. The style is incredibly unique its like watching a comic book while during the cut scenes, then a movie during CG and then like a target fighter during battles. The first boss was incredibly tough like it 2 shot my entire party my first round. I was like am I under leveled? WTF! I figured out a better strategy and gave it another go and won. There was a baby Christening early for Alfonz so I had to get dressed, stop playing, and go. I also ended up supplying the party for Tati, Shivani, and David how pathetic upon all of you! After I met with them I saw my cousin Indeya again (the one from the tent that night). I asked JT if it would be inappropriate to compliment her on her superfine pair, but he said no, and he is right. I will have to keep my complements to my self from now on. I went back home gamed some more, but eventually I had to bring my sister home and that slowed down my night a lot. When I came home I was pretty tired, so a few games and GG for me.
