Therapy





Got my friends from Boston coming down to the ATL to visit me tomorrow, I already know what's bout to go down, because these ain't my stay at home and watch a movie friends, these were the friends that I hung out with when I wanted to have a good time. This is going to be one wild week, definitely pictures to come. I definitely need a weekend like this with close friends, I've been really stressed lately, for some reason I've been really angry. I almost got into a fight with a customer and beat his @SS, that is not like me, I'm way to old to be acting like that, but I guess the stress is getting to me. That's a really weak excuse but the only one that I have, hopefully I can blow some steam off this week and get my focus back on what I need to do.

A Step Back In Time





What a day this was, I recently ran into my old friend Yo who was visiting from cali, it turns out his best friend was getting married so they had invited us to the wedding when I met up with him at the club the night before. I haven't seen Yo in almost 10 years so you know it was bout to go down. The wedding was your typical vietnamese wedding, it was funny though to me, I had brought Zhuan and my boy Thai to crash it with me, and the whole experience was so vietnamese, something that I haven't experienced in a while. I felt like I was in an episode of "Paris By Night" (you'll only understand this if your vietnamese). It was really cool to be hanging out with someone from cali again, especially someone that I had grown up with. To make it even crazier my friend Yo was speaking vietnamese fluently and I don't mean the formal way, he was making jokes and had the lingo down pact, this was crazy because he is chinese and he never used to speak even a lick of vietnamese, me and Thai kept staring at each other in disbelief, I guess we were both expressing the same amazement from it all. We had a lot of fun and hung out until they kicked us out of the party, from there it was to the house to party into the morning light. I guess the morale of this story is learn to hold your liquor or you might end up like the guy in the last picture.

Wild Day
















Where to begin, what a crazy day this was, my cousin and her daughter decide to go to Callaway gardens and safari so I tagged along because it sounded interesting, needless to say it was wild. Upon arriving at Callaway gardens it was nice and peaceful, a great place to just relax, they have all kinds of activities such as golf, fishing, biking, you can even rent boats and paddle boats. The best part is that its all free! We first went to the butterfly garden where I spotted a butterfly the size of a bat.
After the Gardens we took a ride up the street to the safari, where we rented a car with no windows and proceed to drive thru the park. Upon first entering we were instantly attacked by a giant ostrich which had to be 9ft easy, I mean the thing was freaking huge, he kept trying to poke his head in the car. It was quite the experience, because animals just kept coming up to the car and some would even follow us at full speed. My cousins daughter was so funny she kept trying to feed the animals saying "I have to feed my friends" while hanging out the window, me and my cousin were freaking out, because this was up close and personal with wild animals. I mean what would I have done if one of the animals got a hold of her, can you imagine me getting out of the car and beating on this animal while his buddies surround me, it would of been real ugly but at least I would of been on the 10'o clock news, haha. Between almost hitting a giraffe, being charged at by a bull, having a zebra try to lick us and a peacock almost peck me, I had a lot of fun and would definitely say this is experience words can't describe, you can only live it.

Insomnia

Its 2:50 AM in the morning and I can't sleep, too much on my mind, I've been cleaning all night trying to get organized. I guess in some weird way I still haven't unpacked my life yet, oh well I guess I will when I'm ready. I've finally started looking for locations to open my store but have run into a barrier. My dilemma reminds me of that poem "I came to a fork in the road and I took the road less traveled" I guess I should "Make my own trail and blaze a path". Ok enough with the quotes, I seem to have so much on my plate right now only cause I over analyze my situation too much. Hopefully the next month will add some insite on the right way to do things, at least it'll give me time to ponder my next move. Its funny how certain things in life seem to fall into place when you least expect it. So many things to experience and so little time, aint that always the case.
