Closer

Mindy & I were both invited to go to a picnic in South City with Karen, King & Roybn's bowling league friends. Usually n Sundays, they go bowling, but since it's summer now, there's not much bowling I guess. Pretty much enjoyed the nice weather and it was pretty hot in South City so I knew that it was more hot in the inland area. Played basketball, ate bbq and played bingo. The cool part about playing bingo was I actually won the first round. I don't know if it had to deal with luck or the card, but I won five dollars from the game.

When the second round started, Mindy had won five dollars as well, but this time, it was a "T" . Meaning you have to get the top row and the middle row down. Karen had won the third round, winning how ever much was in the pot, but since there were two winners, she ended up winning only $13 dollars. Every bowler started to complain and shit, pretty funny actually. After the 5th number was called , I yelled bingo! Everyone was like what the fuck? No Way! but I was only joking haha.

Afterwards, they began to hand out awards for bowling. Pretty cool, and then went back home, in which everyone was pretty tired. Watched the BET awards in which this year was a special one, because it was for Micheal Jackson. Jamie Foxx was host and you already know, dude is mad funny. Everyone had there gloves on for Micheal. The award show was alright I must say. It felt like it was some what unorganized, and kinda not your typical Award show.

When I come home, the first thing that usually is on is my 360, and when I turned it on, I checked out the spotlight and watched a video on Major Nelson. He was in Iraq and he's going to be there until July 4th. During the video, I spots him with a Nikon, he knows whats good. Nikonians!

Standards

Went to San Francisco to go Karen's house to drink and remember Michael Jackson's death. I don't no one could ever forget him, even my niece Hailey. She came up to me and whispered "Uncle, Michael Jackson died." I go "I know, but do you know who he is?" Hailey gives me the reply "No." and runs away haha. When we got there, we chilled a bit and then headed out to Safeway to go grab a few things. Afterwards went to Quickly's and headed back to Karen's.

When we got there, Jen, Gel, & Derek was there waiting for us in which I haven't seen in a while. Chilled a bit, but not so long because we were drinking. Oscar had given me a big ass glass which was full of heen and it kicked in hard. I had some other shit, but by the time I was trying other stuff, I couldn't concentrate, everything was so blurry haha.

Billy Mays dead?

What the hell is going on here? Farrah Fawcett & Micheal Jackson both passed away and now Billy Mays? Dang man... R.I.P

Pac Div.

Pac Div - Mayor. Saw it on The Hundreds, wordpress/blog or whatever you wanna call it. Thought Id like to share, even though im like what 3 days late?

Santa Cruz

"I'm going to the beach where I belong."

That song was stuck in my head that whole entire day. Yesterday, KJ asked Mindy & I if we wanted to go to Santa Cruz, & I said sure why not. I ended up driving this time thinking everything would be fine, it was until we left. I made a blog entry about it, but I'll explain it later. I haven't been to Santa Cruz ever since I was little and I remember Santa Cruz being more further down, but actually it wasn't. It's more closer than I thought. Before we got there, we had stopped in Union City for majority of stops. Meet up with Albert and caught with him. It's always good to catch up with people you haven't either seen or talked to in a while.

We ended up being at the beach area rather from all the rides and attractions. Didn't end up going on any rides what so ever because all of us had more fun at the beach. Mitch & I went towards to ocean and tried to go against the waves. Right before saying this is the last wave, whiling were kinda soaking wet, the last wave was big as hell and we tried to run, but I fell and almost lost my glasses. Mitch got wet as hell. We went back to dry up and change.

Some of Mitch's and KJ's friends came. Throughout the day we were drinking and playing football. Later on, I decided to try and dig a big hole in the sand and make a fortress with a sniping spot while in prone(on your stomach)like Call of Duty. I had a umbrella for my sniping which was dope as hell, because the sand that I dug was deep and no one could see me, shit was leet haha. That certain spot was were I got buried. They were all making sure I couldn't escape by jumping on me and hitting me.

I couldn't really feel nothing, but the thing that sucked was Mitch and KJ was drunk and Mitch accidentally threw sand all over my face, getting in my ears, mouth and nose. Glad I was wearing glasses, because that shit would of got into my eyes and hurt. My lungs started to hurt and it got really hard to breath. I got one hand out and I was digging my own self out, shit was so heavy on me. Never knew sand could be so heavy at one point in my life. Right when I got out, Mitch and KJ are fighting. This shit happens all the time when they drink, they argue and fight, but most of the time it's funny as hell, with constant comebacks, firing both back and forth, instant classic. Don't worry thay always make up which is great.



"I want things to go my way, but as of later, alot of shit has been going sideways."

When we left, I was going about 66 mph and I didn't know highway 17 speed limit was 50 mph. This sucks, because most of the time, the speed limit signs aren't really posted until 3 to 5 miles after. The cop was nice though, I asked if It was possible to get a warning, but he already has it on the record or computer or whatever. Shit sucks. I have to drive back there for court. After the judge calls my name to plead guilty or not guilty. The judge asks if I can pay the ticket in full or whenever you can. I'm just hoping it's the nicest judge possible in the world and not suspending my license for a year. It's always, always based on the judge's decision.

Some other shit that's been going sideways.
- $60 dollar parking ticket.
- Jobless, fuck Cutco's lying ass.
- Bills, bills & more bills. That's what happens when you grow up, you pay bills.
- As for school, my mom and some family members keep telling me to go back, pushing and pushing me. I'm not so sure about school. Yeah maybe go to CCC which is a community college and get a G.E degree or at least some degree that can benefit me from getting a job. I mean I get asked the same question "What are you going to do now?" I just say work. I just wanna live life honestly. I also need to talk to my cousin on my resume.
- I also might be moving to Union City, CA with Mitch and KJ. It's still at a 50%
