Last night after ball, Dong and I had a conversation about going out and drinking. How people these days go out to Hollywood and stay away from K-town and blah blah blah.

Like there is a difference...

Prelude to the story.
During basketball, While I was waiting, a topic came up about going out and drinking.

Some guys were saying that they like to go out to drink to hang out with friends and what not. Getting drunk and being stupid is fun and blah blah blah. Its all good I suppose. But here is my theory about going out all the time. Why do we constantly go out and waste our (or our parents) hard earned dollars at bars and clubs? If they like drinking so much they can do it at home and save tons of money right? So I called out one of these dudes that was saying that he likes to hang with friends at clubs and bars.

Dude : I just want to hang with friends and chill....
Da Fevah : No you don't.
Dude : looking puzzled .....
Da Fevah : The reason that you go out to these clubs and bars is because deep down inside you are hoping. Hoping that you are gonna score with a girl. You are doubtful, since you probabaly have never hooked up with a girl at these establishments, but you still go. Cause that is how it is. Cause that ounce of hope makes us human beings.
Dude : Yeah.....

I was just as guilty of the same thing in the past. Same pathetic hopes that you will find that one hottie that is just a little different.... Cause you know deep down inside you are just a little different too.

Well let me just take up to speed and give a fresh cup of reality. None of us are really that different. Most of us have no game. And just becuase you go out to Hollywood instead of K-town, it doesn't mean anything different. None of us are that original and all you are doing is wasting your $$$$! But don't let me stop you from stupidity. Learn the hard way. Go ahead and buy that freeloading chick a drink that won't give you any action. When you are driving home try to calculate how much you've spent.

Blessed

That is what I am. I am back from my week training and my trip up north. I was living out of a hotel for last week and an half. I don't like that at all.

Going back to being blessed, I realized that God really took care of me. I am so thankful that I am not where I was. I am always moving ahead all thanks to da good Lord above. 2005 is leaving me for good. Whew... What a year. I would love to do a photo montage of what I've done this year but... nah. I will say it in words.

I am thrilled at the fact that I am married. I am thrilled that my parents and my inlaws get along so well.

I was very happy to see Mel and his growth in God. We had a great conversation about his life and how God has been blessing him.

We were driving back from da bay area, and stopped by K-town to this little hole in the wall Korean restaurant called san. I saw many Korean there. So young, some old, and some flossing in Benz, and some broke ass fools and still ghetto fab. Maybe I am judging but their life seemed unstable and rough. For some strange reason, I realized that momment how great life was being with my fam. Stability. It is good. I highly recommend getting to be in my stage. It is awesome. This undescribable tranquility.

My favorite quote I've heard in my life was from a book called Confessions of St. Augustine.

"Our hearts are restless until they rest upon you, Lord."

I can truly testify to how true that is for me. God truly calmed my restlessness by blessing me with a wife. How the both families have gotten along so great gives me great peace in my heart.

I am happy.
