up awake thinking about random shit

lol its late and i cant sleep, like 5:30am, this song is currently crushing me now even though i hate kanye west auto tune


and this song, it kills me. neyo is sick fabolous is sick, jamie foxx is aite





i love playing poker
i love playing games like warcraft3/starcraft and counter-strike
i love playing football/basketball and im decent at baseball
i love watching the NFL/NBA and post-season MLB


for the first, i already wrote how i got into playing poker

for the second, when i was in 7th grade my friend jonathan and joshua yoo along with kelvin, sharif, lawrence and other asians got me hooked onto a game called starcraft. its a strategy game where you pit aliens vs humans vs alien-humans. it is a great game. i started playing this game and slowly got addicted to it, i played it religiously unti about 11th/12th grade when i started playing warcraft3 which is essentially the same thing but with different units and a different style of gameplay. i am still somewhat decent at both games but im all giddy awaiting the arrival of starcraft 2. :D call me a nerdy asian, whatever!

as for counter-strike, living in an area with an inane amount of PC cafes, you eventually learn to play a shooter game called counter-strike that pitted terrorists vs counter-terrorists, you buy guns, kill other people, it was a fun game as well. i actually played this game to a serious level where i would "practice" every other day and go to live tournaments and stuff, i think i won about $1000 in prize money playing lol. cool shit.

to this day i still play wc3 randomly during the week as with starcraft, cs not so much, havent been getting into games that much. i do wish i would get better at madden though


for the sports, its pretty cool i think how i got started. when i was 4-5 years old i got started in pee wee soccer like all kids and i fricken loved it! i played till i was about 7-8 and my mom got me started in basketball! oh how do i love basketball. i played every day, was on the all star team for annandale boys and girls club and was there every winter, it was GREAT. during this time i was 11-12 and needed a sport inbetween basketball seasons so my dad thought i should try baseball, it was okay, i played outfield and batted 5th most of the time, i loved to play the field but i sucked as a batter. this is about the time my cousins got me into playing football, i loved football and i still do. the contact, the accuracy of throwing the ball and catching passes. i quickly started playing every week with my family just throwing the ball and running routes and stuff, i still think i have a decent arm now and have decent hands. fun stuff! i was a nomad among little league sports cause i think that its cool to try new things. ive tried ice skating (lol as my cousin natalie was a ice skating trainer), lacrosse (meh), swimming (for brief bit), and a handful of other sports.

nowadays i just stick to playing basketball and pickup football games, i havent thrown a baseball in years but would love to, let me know if you want to play catch :D

the last thing i love is watching sports. my friends and i are sports junkies, i follow all sports by reading, watching, anything. lets see, kevin, me, chung, alex, vernon, phillip ejaz and tahir all follow sports and we're pretty knoweledgable on all sports whether its the NFL draft, NBA draft, huge MLB signings, NHL records or even swimming events, we know most of them. i believe its a conversation piece in 70% of our conversations lol. theres nothing more relaxing to me than having a drink in one hand, remote on the other and watching the slew of sunday football or the excitement of the NBA finals or even the cool days of the MLB post season.

the teams that i follow
NBA - wizards
NFL - redskins
MLB - nationals
College BBall - VCU
College Football - VTech

not a bad weekend in football picks though won some change from this

chargers win outright - W
ravens win with 3.5 - W
cards outright - W
minnesota with 3.5 - L

not that bad imo. next week is going to be tough here are some predictions pending i see the line

baltimore at tennessee, i like the titans in this one, chris johnson is good out of the backfield and lendale can pound the goal line, titans offense is much better than baltimores and their defenses are about equal, i pick the titans 13-10

san diego at pittsburgh, upset pick of the week, chargers over pitt, even though pitt has a great defense, their offense has little to be desired. i look for chargers capitalizing on mistakes that ben roethlisfjkslfjager will make. chargers win 21-14

eagles at giants - ugh i hate both teams cause they are in the same division as the skins but the giants are going to win this one 31-17. earth wind and fire will dominate and eli will be efficient

cards at carolina - panthers win 38-31 because both team can pass and run all day on each other, in the end, identity and theft will win the game against the cards shitty run d and the cards will throw all day if the oline protects warner enough.

welp! now i'm done :D. sorry for reading all of this if you're a non sports junkie but hey!

these picks will probably be edited further along this week when news breaks.

peace out!
