Never Say Die

Well time has passed, and I have done a lot more then I planned for. Simply, a steady wave of change enters my life like the ebb and flow or the oceans waves on forgotten shores. One might say without change and decision I am not completing my role. I can say this I personally have undergone significant change in the few weeks that I have been working over gaming.

At work I have a stead flow of task that I can do without difficulty. There is funny people in my work environment, I have mentioned L Wang before, but Naomi and Trish are the only others I speak to regularly. R.A.D asked me to stay for another two weeks at same pay, and I had almost no choice but to accept it. I feel like I got strong armed. What does one do when your labor is your commodity and your skill, your poise, your diligence, your ethic, and your attentiveness is not the subject of your value? Adam Smith would say it is quit accurate that it is my labor they wish to employ and not me as a person. Well Smith had a lot right, but in the end once your employment passes a certain time line you as an individual becomes relevant. I wanted to give you something to think of for those who are out in the working world.

On the sports front, I have gone to two Red Sox games in one week; once with Steve in the grandstand, and once with Tyler behind home plate. They one the second game with some big hits, so naturally that was a better game. There were annoying kids at the second game who kept calling friends and trying to wave to them on T.V, its very immature and hilarious when

their father began to do it also. I guess they never sat there before, and the allure overtook them.

Tyler being back in town always makes for fun times, on Wednesday after work they came over and chilled in my room. He “came bearing gifts from the west” as he put it. Gifts were golden indeed. We just chilled out, and went to Captain Nemos for dinner. Only T and I ate. I think they did not want to pay for their own food. I noticed Tyler stopped volunteering to pay, Craig was without money two times in a row and T only covered himself. It seems college has given him a sense of independence, but I hope being at Stanford did not affect his sense of loyalty. I know he is taking Craig and Sam to Belize with him, I don’t understand why Sam out of all people. I thought it was Sam who ditched the Bermuda trip on the fly, which I am sure cost money. We played Big Buck Hunter, and again Craig did not spend a dollar to even join the game, things must be tough for him. I did pretty well with 2^nd place, but I think I am better now and want to give it another shot some day (Pun intended). After they left around 12 I ended up playing three games of DoTA. 3 with Kevin, two of which Matheus also played in. I played as Nerubian, Zeus, and Axe. I placed first all times ^_^. Good ending to a good day.

I left work early to meet them, and ended up seeing Qing instead. I went to her house to walk with her to the T (not my style of a good time). She cried because I brought negativity to her day, which made me come to some realizations that I will elaborate on later, hopefully not Jeff Tram style (JT knows what I am talking about). I dropped her at the Scooper Bowl, paid for her admission and was on my way to the game to meet them. After the Sox game I tried to go to the Absolute Clubhouse and you can only enter through a special place in the park. These guards went in through the exit door and I was speaking with one of them, and I could tell he was a racist piece of shit. I was asking about the entrance etc, and he was being standoffish for no reason. I had to assume it was race related do to the nature of the Absolute Clubhouse being for Home Plate season ticket holders, and the nature of my skin. I met Chris at Park Street for a meet up to see the Celtics game. He, Qing, and I enjoyed it together. It was a wonderful, intense, hard fought game. We had to be Ghetto fabulous and strip a IEEE wire and attach it to a coaxial cable that liked to a box that went to my monitor. After fraying the cables end as an antenna we got clear picture and audio of the game. I bought a paper today to frame the quote “Never Say Die”. I feel this links directly to my core trait of resilience, and Celtics coming back after the half from a 24 point deficient is nothing less then that. The game was sensational to the point that it made NBA history and will aid in sealing the championship for the Celtics this coming Sunday.Qing stayed over and we had breakfast at Fanagal. More hair compliments I am up to 3 in a week, LOL.

I have a wedding to go to tomorrow at 5:30 until later in the evening, but tonight nothing is on the Agenda. Let’s see what washes up on my shores. GFG.
