Engrish III – hope my students look like this

Today, I am eating, talking and listening to my father and brother. I can’t believe over 5 month ago, it was 4 years that went by before I started to talk to them again. I am thankful that God humbled me and showed me the errors of my ways. I have always been the black sheep of the family but as I prepare for my trip, my family, though filled with its faults, has pulled together and made me feel good about going. All the advice and the concerns that flood my ears, is a pain in the ass but will be missed when I am gone. I know this is all because I am going away for a while and if I didn’t go, things would be the same but I realize that I AM going and things are changing. I am opinionated, head strong and individualistic and I am going to the corporate world filled with conformity, rules and responsiblities. I need this. I believe Japan will bring balance to my chaotic life. But enough of this serious talk, Japan awaits.

How’s everyone? This weekend was pretty, dayum good but next weekend is my last in NYC. =*(. You know I will be actin’ the fool. Swing by and wish me luck in Japan, bring a friend or two or three. It doesn’t matter. Do you really need an excuse to drink and party? Well, in my next post I will be introducing my two new traveling companions, Pretty Craig and Pretty Rodney. They’re not as pretty as me but they can hang. Get low, D!

Holy shit! I have to write this blog before I go to sleep because tonight was effing B-A-N-A-N-A-S! I am not kidding. Bussa aka Sweetness effing owned The Park tonight. It was unusually saturated with asian ppl, that it looked like a Stuyvesant HS reunion but dayum, I never, I mean never had so much fun like this in a long ass time. Hunnies to my left, hunnies to my right. Bussa aka Sweetness couldn’t do wrong. It came to a point where I gave out the 15 bidness, that’s right BIDness, cards I had and had to resort to putting digits into my phone. Went with my friend Jason, who’s one of the best wingmen I have ever had. The team was unstoppable. There was a lot of Cali chix there and all I have to say is if all Cali girls dance like these girls, then what the eff am I doing in NYC?!!! A couple of girls stand out in my mind, but unfortuately I don’t remember their names. Sorry girls, I was busy that night. One girl’s name did stand out in my mind and her name was Sylvia, she done knocked me down with her booty. Girl dropped it on me and brought it back, effing knocked me down with that booty, now that’s wifey material. There was this Egyptian girl, forgot her name but let me tell you. I had her legs wrapped around my waist and I done flipped it and had her legs sticking up in the air! Jason and I were battling and even came across this dude that freeking did a hadouken, yeah that’s right, from streetfighter2, you believe that shit. WTF?!! It was cool though, I even got up on this Indian chick but the funny part was that her huge bf was watching! He even gave me props, haha, that’s how I do. Jason and I even picked up this waitress, I even danced with her while holding her serving tray. Yeah, I act’d the fool this night. All I have to say is, pray to God I don’t get near Patron! You don’t even know what I’m capable of. Saturday night, y’all better come. I mean it. I know it will be off the hook. Bussa aka Sweetness doesn’t give a dayum! Any ladies within arms reach is in trouble and that’s for DAYUM sure.

The day after V-Day was B-A-N-A-N-A-S! After dinner with a friend and partaying it up at an impromptu outting @ HOME, I crashed at my other friends house. I woke up the next day with a message from Chase saying there’s a problem with my account. The thing is I don’t have an account with Chase and I thought I was a victim of fraud. I was so worried but I prayed and it turned out to me a glitch in Chase’s system. I was relieved! =P I also finished purchasing my plane ticket to Nartia Airport and picked up my Japanese Visa. Thank goodness my friend Jason told me to head out because I got to the Japanese Consulat 10 minutes before closing. You don’t even know how happy I am! I’ve been dreaming of this for soooo many years and I finally have the ticket in my hands! A one way ticket to Japan! Based on today’s events, I have a feeling that tonight will be promising. For all of you who don’t know, I have an alter ego: Bussa aka Sweetness and he will be going buck wild tonight.

I also have two traveling buddies, courtesy of a dear friend of mine, their names are Pretty Craig and Pretty Rodney. I’ll have a separate blog introducing these guys. hehe.

What’s up yall?!! T-Minus 2.5 weeks til I leave for Tokyo Japan. I am so excited, I hardly get any sleep at night. All I keep thinking about is neon lights, funky clothing, exotic food and japanese culture. Last week, I worked at M Magazine for Bauer Publishing and was one of the only dudes around a whole herd of women. Thanks Chiaka for the info. Besides that I am just preparing for my trip and getting the handle of this blog.

Also I will be @ [ The Park ] February 24 | around 11pm, if you want to holla at your boy before I leave.
