Crazy fire in Brighton/ Spelling Bee Finals

i am going to be writting about 6 entries about the past couple days. i been busy with school, work and relaxing that i havent had time to document my life hahaha.

So today Carmen came through, surprised me and chilled for a little before she went to work.

Street Fighter at Chris'
Then at around 2 i went to chris' house to chill for a little. i played a little street fighter III 3rd Strike on PS2 cause his xbox's disc tray is jammed for some reason. then we i decided to youtube to find a solution. all we had to do was some lil paper clip poking and it good as new. then we played street fighter IV and me and chris had some crazy battles. then i went on xbox live and was "schoolin some niggas"

Bidding for airmax's
then around 4 oclock i went to lings house to bid on a pair of Clerks Airmax 90's i been wanting for a few years now. i really like them but i wasnt really fiendin for them so w/e. they were at $36 at the last 5 minutes. then i bidded $40, got out bidded right away, and kept bidding more by like $10 but i still kept being out bidded. then i decided to just keep bidding just so the guy i was competing with will have to pay more than he had to. hahaha.I bidded 100, he does 102, I did 108, he did 110, then I did 113 and he he won it for 115. If I wasn’t for me he prolly only had to pay like 70 bucks but boosted the price up hahaha. w/e, its his money. Hahaha.

Movies and random reunion
After we went to the city to meet with Jason chung and his movie manager friend so we can see the new terminator movie for free. while waiting we saw ron and carla across the street at the other movie theater in times sq online to see the early showing of "UP."
about 30+ mins later, his friend never showed and we left. we went to training camp cuz jason wanted to see the nubuck jordan 12's in person. while i was at training camp one of the workers looked familiar. it was a skinny bald black kid. It was an old friend i havent seen or talked to in about 8 years. I looked at him and i was like "dont i know you?", "did we go to school together?" and he was confused and didnt know. then i was like "whats your name?" he said eric and the moment he said that i remembered summer camp and i said "we went to summer camp together, remember camp get-chi gummi hurray(a little old chant we said with the counselors)" then it slightly refreshed his memory. I stayed for a few more minutes for some small talk and left.
then went to chinatown with jason and ling and got bubble tea and a viet sandwich.

Crazy fire on brighton 6th street
then we went home. from my train station i saw this house on fire. its was a like 4 houses from lings house. it was the craziest shit i ever seen. my camera ran out of battery but ling was able to snap a few pics.

The crazy thing was this morning i heard the fire alarm from the neighbors and the first thing i thought of if my house was on fire was to rip the wires off my computer and take it with me, take a few of my favorite sneakers, my nas autographed vinyl, some other stuff i can grab and my parents wedding album and other old photo albums i can get.
mad weird. i feel like that vision in my head was some unconscious foreshadowing or w/e. lol

video of the day
right now im watching the 2009 spelling bee finals on channel 7 and also watching the cavs vs magics game on the TNT website.
whenever i think of spelling bees i think of this clip from a few years back. this is one of my most favorite videos......hhahaha classic.

this guy passed out. his computer brain went malfunction and crashed. hahaha. then he gets up outta no where and spells the word. wtf?!?!?!!??!
