Long Long Time

So since I left my home... I didn't do much for the rest of the week; I did a lot of work, my boss came by and we hung out on Friday. Friday night I went to chill w/my pops cuz he had been feeling a bit sick and ill lately; he has been scared of death and just been having depression because he hurt his back and now can't really be productive around the house. I suggested movies and video games and it worked haha.

Saturday we went to Vanessa's dumpling after McCormick and schmicks in Bridgewater (VERY poor). VD's was NASTY (pun intended)!!!!!! Delicious wonton not in soup and sesame bread sandwich w/duck inside. They also had decent noodles in brown sauce on a plate as well as red bean paste rolls (ok). We had cold bubble milktea to cool us down cuz it was freaking hot.

We then walked up to the brooklyn bridge's middle; it was my first time and it wasn't very romantic at all. It was a nice view of manhattan but it was a long walk and you just have car sounds and parts of the bridge blocking your vision most of the way; it was cool to experience though.


Later we went to hang w/my indian brothas and we hung at rishi's place. He was trying to blow me up (almost successfully) talkin about pros i was talkin to in Vegas... hahaha. Eiji showed up too while this dude was tellin us about all these pros... it was kinda weird. We saw that rishi has regular nintendo and people busted out Mario 1. eventually we left and tried goin to park which was closed down to non girls. Then we went to Cabanas which was also closed to non chicks. We walked around in 2 big ass circles, got a drink in Jake's saloon then gave up after some club didn't let my girl in w/her passport copies.

Sunday I took the Acela into PVD and I've just been working ever since.

The weekend was good, went to beach, ate really good food, swordfish, salmon stuffed w/spinach, quahogs, sole stuffed w/stuffing. We went to the beach to chill; almost lost glasses my glasses. A lady in an orange hat spotted us when we came back and were looking haplessly for my Diesels and told us she saw them, knew it was ours and hoped we came back. We watched people surf, planned to surf but freaking hurricane Bill F'd it up for us and making the rip tide too strong.

We tried hanging sunday but i was too tired, i slept all day and brought my friend back to the train station monday morning at 5:45. We swam sat and sun which was cool and relaxing. I've been tryin to work on Christine's sauna/pool combo to improve my skin. NOt sure if it REALLY works cuz i don't do it too much, but it feels good at times.

Finally Home for a Week

My week home has been ok so far. I've done inordinate amounts of work and on Tuesday I had to attend the funeral of Betty Jane Kurtain; the mother of Bill, the owner of WTT. I worked w/Betty Jane a bit; she was always super nice and really cute and funny in her own way. Betty Jane was very old, but still was taken prematurely from her friends and family. It was really a sad occassion. I never do well at weddings, and this one I made it through the entire service at the church until the priest stoppped and Bill said something to honor his mom. Seeing the pain on someone else's face like that just opened up the floodgates, and I just cried like no tomorrow. I don't know why; maybe i'm afraid of death, or confused by it. Whatever it is, I always cry at funerals and just do not like to go; however, if asked I will always go if I'm around because it's obvious that you must pay respects to people and show your support.

I have a question for people; why do people say balling instead of crying? I always try to say crying especially to other people because I feel like people get embarrassed saying crying? Not even sure. A little enlightenment would help me.

I literally have just done work the rest of the week and have taught one lesson even though my customer keeps cancelling on me.

Week of 8/10

Monday and Tuesday work was ok; we got our stuff reviewed and there were no big items. We stayed til 7 cuz they didn't review the 2nd binder; i'm not sure if he has by now.

I left for Minny on Wed and really was impressed by the people and hotel/resort at Duluth/Two Harbors. I walked around the resort along Lake Superior and it was really beautiful. Work was tough, I was almost on tilt from not getting stuff done.

We finished and Coworker didn't book hotel for friday, so we were 45 min from airport. He was leaving at 6, so the Plant Controller hooked him up by offering to drive me in the early morning at 9AM. During that time we were eating, the day before we ate delicious breakfast, then dinner was awesome, taylor the waitress was amazingly beautiful. Next day we walked out of the same breakfast place cuz dude didn't bother w/us. I literally walked in front of him and he said wait a minute. He comes back out with coffee and can't take my order either time he passes me out and into the kitchen. At dinner we saw taylor and realized i shoudl've hollered at her. Other watiress loved me too, but didn't step up either. Horrible. I kinda said something to Taylor, but she asked if i was staying around longer which I wasn't. I think both guys I was with realized I was a bitch at that point.

In the morning, we drove through severe fog and arrived. The flight ended up being delayed an hour; I still could make it to the flight in Minny, but they gave me backup flight at at 2pm anyway (I thought it was at 4).

While I waited I played poker and won, but there was a delay on the big board until 2 but until 4PM when announced over the loudspeaker, so i decided to drive. I had to cancel the 1st leg in order to not have the entire flight cancelled for some reason but went to see rental cars first. I found none at National and Budget, but Hertz had one for $250 to drive. I called the bossman who said ok, but while on the phone some shady guy tapped me and asked if i needed a ride. We had 6 dudes on a shuttle splitting 300, and it took 2.5 hours. At the end of the trip I looked at my ticket and realized my connection was 2PM... and it was already 2:45. I showed up and had to talk the lady at the front of NWA into getting me a seat, she kept saying no can do because the weather prevents it, but i explained to her why not. She obviously couldn't understand but booked me anyway. Ended up getting winked from the stewardess in st. clothes, she was lookin right. I also got smile from a chick on my flight big bosom. Felt good, but no way to capitalize on it!!!

Sylvana picked me up and we rode home. We played some pool and I lost. I suck at pool because i lose at the end, i hit in things during, but lose pressure situations.

We started and didn't finish shawshank . We had a chinese school lunch next morning w/my mom, I made it to WW in like 35 min w/a gas fill up, so sick. Saw albert and his sis. Then gave 2 hr lesson while mom drove sylvana home. The lesson went well. We worked on ground strokes early then it started raining and I said we could start w/serves. He literally hit serves for the next 1.5 hours. It was nasty. We got his serve a lot more consistent and powerful if that even seems possible. It's pretty simple to do; holler at me for a lesson if you need help with that hahaha.

HKFL 2009 DRAFT!!!!

Saturday morning I woke up early (9AMish) and drove from Farmington to Queens to help my friend move. It was a quick process; she had a few bags and no furniture; she just needed transportation for the bags to manhattan which I was happy to provide.

Fantastic football ensued at around 5PM. The order went AD then MJD, then it was my turn. I really hadn't prepared much since I've been getting killed at work. I did an analysis the night before since I had nothing to do in Farmington after my nap ended around 8PM. It was between Stephen jackson (injuries and ineffectiveness) Drew Brees (thought he would come back down to earth because let's be honest, it's the Saints) and Brian "I put up 50 points on Thanksgiving" Westbrook. I eventually went with Westbrook not knowing he was coming off ankle surgery, he was 30 and he in general has injury problems every season. I literaly was boooooooed.

The rest of the draft didn't go so well for me either in retrospect. We drafted before training camps opened, so who knew who would be injured, who would stand out, who would get cut. I got Fast Willie w/my second pick which was a bone (Colston, OchoCinco were there and I needed WRs as I had kept Cedric the Entertainer Benson and Forte). Forte was my 3rd pick, and McNabb was my 4th which I loved. I got Santonio which was HUEG for me as my 1st wideout (he's proven to be good since then). I really botched a couple picks later w/mendenhall, Crabtree (who hasn't played a down) and others. Ron Curry got cut hahaha.

After the draft, I went to NYC and met up w/the moving friend and her friend. They didn't know where to go, so I suggested Sin Sin which was TERRIBLE... it was super packed, good music, but just way too packed and hot as hell. We then hit up Under Bar in Union Square and met up w/amol. I freaking love underbar, they have great music, chill Vibe and crowd is sparse. The only problem is, it's more of a date lounge because you're not really going to meet a lot of women there.

Sunday we went to HK supermarket in the rain; future note NEVER go to China Town in rain. My friend cooked pretty good food and we ate w/her korean friends. I learned that "Ann yong Jarl Jeh Neh" means "hello how are you"

After dinner my friend and I discussed relationships and what it all means. Where we are in life and whatnot. Pretty in depth convo that I don't particular remember intricate details of. I ended up leaving around 10PM and getting into Farmington around 1230 which was terrible.
