Let’s talk about Feb, baby.

So it was St. Patty’s day and I had a great time and met some new people. My cheekbones were hurting from the laughter. That’s prolly one of the best types of pain (if any) one can endure.

Anyway, I’m here to talk about February since I barely did last month. Not that you would care but it is the shortest month every year so I thought I’d give it some belated love. Maybe in list form. Who knows? Let’s see how it turns out…

  •  
  • •   I played two separate vball tournaments… AT THE SAME TIME. Both of my teams won it all! In the finals on court 1, Andrew got injured so we had to play with only 3ppl yet we still won! It was such an amazing feeling to have the whole place cheering for us, point after point. What a day :)
  •  
  • •   I was so tired one day that I dialed my credit card number instead of the phone number on the back…
  •  
  • •   I finally started using the hot tub. It helped when I was sore after capoeira. Also when I work from home sometimes I use it during lunch break. Reminds me of Shizuoka :)
  •  
  • •   On Valentine’s Day I came in 3rd out of 5ppl in a game of Monopoly even though I only owned one deed. Andy sucks at making deals.
  •  
  • •   I went to an evening with Kevin Smith at Roy Thompson Hall. Talking about Avatar, Bruce Willis and Blair Witch was so hilarious.
  •  
  • •   Conan had his last ep :(
  •  
  • •   I got addicted for two weeks to that T.I. track, “Whatever You Like
  •  
  • •   I started and beat Mass Effect 2. SO AWESOME! Seriously, this game is amazing.
  •  
  • •   The Olypics happened. In Vancouver. We rocked. Our ceremonies did not.
  •  
  • •   I got pulled over for speeding. Got two tickets for my licence being expired and having my old address on the expired licence :( Nice cop tho. Let me drive home because I was so polite :) Thank God he wasn’t a white cop!
  •  
  • •   Learned that the Timmies at Lawrence and Don Mills is not good. Like… TERRIBLE. Do NOT go there.
  •  
  • •   Got back into Westbam.
  •  
  • •   Got into Tape Deck Bros. Funky-ass house! They are so awesome. Monday nights @ Andy Poolhall after capoeira are amazing! (Thanks Wyn!)
  •  
  • •   My competitive vball team changed their name from Grapes to “I Wish I Had More Hands.” Before that we were Pancakes and before that, Blouses.
  •  
  • •   I got down to 181lbs. I probably gained some back after I went dessert hopping with Steph and Cin. Yeah you heard me, dessert hopping.

Anyway, that was a breif summary of my February. See you next year, Feb.

Stacks of GAMES, and Coke on ICE,
We be Street Fightin’ all NIGHT
And maybe we can play whoever we like. We can play whoever we like;

Great white BEACH so warm and so BRIGHT,
String up the net for you so TIGHT
And baby we can bump however you like. We can bump however you like… Yeah!

Can’t Sleep

It’s around 4am and I’m lying in my bed awake. I’m posting this from my phone so the formatting might be a bit off…

Anyway, it’s been a month since last post and I’ve been meaning to post a few stories. I just haven’t had any time. I still have so much to do.

I have work for clients due, bills to send, bills to pay, some organizing… I need to make that schedule I’ve been meaning to make. My braindead time has been consistent tho.

Instead of blogging, I’ve been Tweeting and FaceBooking a lot. Now there is Buzz but I just have that set to post my Tweets and my Google Reader shares. It’s better than watching Jersey Shore!

Speaking of girls getting punched in the face, I played and beat Mass Effect 2 this month. I played as a “renegade” and during a TV interview, my character punched the reporter! Besides that, the game was awesome especially if you beat the first one. Beat the fisrt game, not girl…

Since I’ve been back from my trip (almost 2 months ago!) I haven’t had time to get much done. And when I did have time, it was braindead time. It feels like I need it more now days? I donno. I’m loving vball (I need to post about the last playoffs!) and I’m back in capoeira mode (sore!). Maybe I need more greens or carbs in my diet…

The last time I was on a scale it said 183. So I have 8lbs left to go! I’m taking these last 10 slow since – lost the first 15 so quickly. I don’t want to crash!

Anyway, I should try to shut my eyes. I hope I don’t wake up to find too many spelling errors and crappy formatting :)

Gonna get my Nihon…

So it is 3am and my flight is in about 7hrs. I still have some packing to do. I was supposed to finish it all before my vball games but I had too much stuff to do for work.

As for the vball games, both of my teams were 3 for 3 and I am tired as hell. Before the games I went to the clinic and we did one on one quarter court drills… I was tired in less than 2 mins. So awesome. The vball feels so good. Like, SO good. All they need at North Beach is some good music. Not that vocoderiffic crap that passes for hip hop nowadays…

I weighed myself again the other day at my mom’s place and I am… dun dun duuuuuuun… 185lbs! I’ve lost about 15lbs in the last while. Yeah, can you believe I was around the 200 range? If you knew me in high school I’m sure you’re surprised.

D-Train showed up to my last match so he and the team went to JA’s and ate and drank. I had a cookie cup! So good, man. I drank three Gatorades and two waters and I’m still thirsty.

Anyway, I should get back to packing so I can nap a bit. If you want to contact me you can either post comments or use the contact page. I’ll try to update the blog, twitter and MAYBE facebook depending on how late I stay up the first few nights.

If I don’t update, then happy holidays and happy new year, fuckers!

Baby Steps

Today, when I got to North Beach, I got four or five complements regarding my appearance. Felt good! A little ego boost never hurts right? With a boost in ego comes a little boost in courage as well.

I used that courage to do something I never do. And while it wouldn’t sound like a big deal to normal people, it is kind of a big deal to me. Nothing interesting or special happened but nothing bad happened either so thumbs up! I hear practice makes perfect. So let’s see how long it takes for me to try it again!

Rundown: Week 46, 2009

Derrick and Vicky are gone :(
But that’s ok, I had lots of fun during the last three weeks. I hope they did too. And I hope they come visit me and Tomocus (Tomoko and Marcus?) in The Land of the Rising Fun.

Here’s a quick run down of what I did during the last week:

  • • Bought Assassin’s Creed 2 ($20 off!), all three Overlord games ($9 total!), both Crysis games ($15 each!)
  • • Got early access to the Bayonetta demo on XBL
  • • Got my 2 week JR/Shinkansen pass for my Japan trip
  • • Watched Derrick and Andy play Borderlands for many hours
  • • Practiced Street Fighter IV with Sagat (and destroyed Derrick’s Ryu, heh)
  • • Andrew and Wendy’s wedding (last one of the year!)
  • • Planted seeds for Andy and Ben getting snowmobiles for X-Mas (lol)
  • • Watched Pandorum and 2012
  • • Dim Sum with the office crew and D+V, Ana, Carmen
  • • All star wings with D+V, Andy and Karmun
  • • Applied for my passport renewal
  • • Volleyball tournament
  • • P90X Core Synergetics
  • • Died after P90X Core Synergetics

I can’t remember much more since I’m dead. I also procrastinated updating this site to make it live. All I need to do is tweak it so Internet Explorer doesn’t just do whatever it wants with the CSS. Then one day you can actually read this!
