For the record in case some of you forgot...

The Disneyland trip when Jon and I met up with Steve and Helen was the most hilarious dinner I have ever had in my life.   Not trying to make you jealous...well yes I am.  Just thought you would like to know the hijinks of being a lil drunk at the most magical place in the world.

Also for the record...Steve ain't lying.  He really did eat a leaf in tomorrowland.

First off, I would love to go to Disneyland next summer.  That place is fun, though I dunno if I can handle the rides anymore.  I know they only go like 10 mph, but the last couple times I went to a theme park, I started feeling ill.  Maybe it's just the ones that are really spinny.  hmmm...

SF:
I hate the place...why?
  • Smells like piss
  • Crowded
  • Dirty - air and the streets
  • Parking there is a bitch
  • Too far away, but everyone loves it
  • Too fast paced for my liking
But today I realized that I did like something about the big city atmosphere.  I liked walking around on a nice 72 degree day and looking up at the tall buildings.  I though it was a really cool sight and I think I could've walked around all day, just staring at some of the buildings.  I also realized that I would hate to be a bus driver.  All you do is drive in circles all day, dodging cars, and stopping every five miutes to pick up people who are totally unappreciative.

My Status:
Everything else with me is going ok...I still not feeling "single" yet.  The freedom that it brings hasn't sunk in yet.  This week I was actually feeling ok because of stupid classes, but then I went to Friendster and saw Tiff's profile and she changed her status to being single.  *Sigh*  This may sound petty and gay, but like I said before the whole ordeal hasn't totally sunk in yet, so I was feeling kind of blue after seeing that.  After talking w/ her some more, I've realized that I think she's accepted the fact that she's single.  I wish I could....

One thing that I wish....it was common knowledge that her and I broke up.   I think I've been asked 3 times this week how things are going b/w us and I wish for each time I had an automated response saying, "We broke up, I needed some time to myself, she took it ok, we're friends."  It hurts explaining it each time, hope that ends soon.....

Last weekend:
Total fun!  Playing poker Thursday was great, though I was dead tired on Friday for work.  Then going out to Miyake's w/ Kristen, Kevin and co.  was a blast.  Drank one too many Sake bombs and I entertained the heck out of everyone in the car on the way home w/ my singing.  Then passing out @ brendan's was great as well.  Didn't lose any money playing poker and didn't go out and play pool, so I saved me some dough hehe.  Saturday, was fun as well.  Going to Obon and kickin it with everyone was great.

Highlights:
-Attendees - Bryant, Jonathan, Brian, Kevin, Andy, Sudhir, Anthony, Matt, Vikram, Martha (Sudhir's girl)
-Seeing Tiff...first time we've seen each other since the break up and it was great.  She looked great and I had a good time talking w/ her.  She hooked me up w/ a beer.  haha
-Meeting Jonathan's perfect match in eating -> Vikram.  They both were racing to see who eats slower and Vikram won by like 2 bites (meaning he ate faster) hehe.
-Andy Andy Andy
-When I first encounter Andy, I was talking w/ Tiff.  He comes over takes her hat, puts it on and starts walking around.  Then he puts it back on her and then bats it down.
-Tiff then starts to introduce Andy to her friend, his response "No, I don't want to meet her"  right in front of her friend.  He was kidding, and then he preceded to whisper something into her friends ear.  I think he offered to buy her a beer or something.
-Andy then goes and buys some fries, over does the ketchup because it's all over his hand.  This one fry drops that had massive amounts of ketchup on it and Andy kicks it.  It hits some lady, Andy says sorry, but no response from the lady.  He then says to her, "That's ok, it happens."  Or something along those lines (heard from Sudhir).
-Over by the beer area, Andy drops a dollar.  Instead of picking it up like a normal person would, Andy decides to hit someone in the back of the calf to see what they would do.  The person turns around, sees Andy's massive frame and turns around because he's smart.  Then Andy turns to him and pretends to kick him, while he's looking at Andy.  hahaha.
-I guess I had a couple entertaining moments, quoting Little John, Usher, "To da windows, to da walls!" was my theme song.   I also showed off some of dance moves that I would be displaying @ the club later that night.  My warm up dance was ....The Running Man.  LOCK UP YOUR LADIES BAY AREA, BRYANT IS ON THE PROWL (simpsons quote w/ a couple touch ups)

Post Obon:
-Jonathan, Brian and I precede to Loft 11, club in SF.  The place was small, hot, and not crawling w/ good looking girls.  There were a couple cuties though, but I was in no mood to put the Bryant Mack on if you know what I mean haha.  So instead, I drank. 
-Danced w/ Jonathan's friend Vy's roommate, most of the night.  She was an ok dancer, mediocre on looks (please tell me no Berkeley people read this), but she liked Kobe Bryant, so I was down with her.  I tried talking w/ some other girl, but she was 29 and ready to make out w/ some other dude, so I was ok with that. 
-Danced and drank and went to Denny's.  Got home @ about 4.  Went to pass out, but then Kevin decided it was a good idea to wake me up.  Boy was he wrong.  It was like he unleashed a monster.  I grabbed Kevin and started wrestling with him, but then I started hearing "I'm not wearing any pants."  So I then let Kevin go and that's when I got out my room and started dancing around the house.  I am guessing that the alcohol wasn't quite out of my system yet and also that I wasn't as tired as  I thought.  I probably didn't get my groove on enough either.  So I got on the couch and did a booty dance for everyone.  Gave Brian a personal dance, jumped on Kevin and Andy while they were in bed, and went all around the house.  I got rave reviews the next morning.  A quote from Sudhir, "Andy!  Bryant is ready to have his way with you."  Spoken by Anthony.  Sudhir and Martha thought I was so funny that they didn't mind that I woke them up @ 5 in the morning.  Kevin thought it was so funny he took pictures.  Him and Andy couldn't stop laughing.  Brian was as enthused as the rest..."you ever come that close to me again, I will kill you!" I know he's just messing around hehe. 

Overall I had a great time, mostly because my best buddy Kevin was around and I got to hang out w/ all my good friends.  (Minus some others, but I'm sure most of you wouldn't want to be around me.)  Though in telling this story, I am blushing and embarassed, I had a great time and my friends let me have a good time.  Funny thing is, if I was with Tiffany at the time, most likely she would've spent the night and most likely Kevin would've never come in my room and all this wouldn't have happened.  I did realize something, I did miss nights like this where it was just the guys having "silly" fun.  It's been a year and a half since I've had a night like this. 

Thanks to all for showing me a great time, it was exactly what I needed.  Steve, can't wait until you return so that you can join our good, clean fun.  Kevin, we have your camera so you gotta come back. 

Pictures will be on K I M C H E E F I E D when I get a chance. 

Another thing that was fun...class...only because it gives me time to doodle in my notebook.  Missed those days in college.  haha.

Peace out y'all.
Wsup people

That disneyland entry was fuckin' hilarious. I totally agree with Tony on the price of food. Remember when i heard that all the plants in tomorrow land were edible? Fuck yeah. I don't give a shit if they're peppers. They're still edible. 8 bucks for a sourdough bowl of chowder??? you better believe i'm gonna eat the bowl too!
I think it might be cool to take some cool pictures of disneyland. Especially at night. Cuz those "photo spots" they have (or is that great america) are bullshit. One part of disneyland that i want to check out more is the main street. I never spend any time there. I walk right past it all on the way in, and by the time i leave, it's too late to check out any of those places. Granted, all the shit there costs an arm, a leg, and half a kidney, but like B said, it's more about the environment. (i would have written "ambiance" instead of "environment", but i don't know how to spell "ambiance"). Oh shit i forgot blogger has a spell check now! ah fuck it i'm too lazy to click it.
The last disneyland trip was fun. Especially the panama punch at the rainforest cafe. Good shit. Now if i could only get drunk while INSIDE disneyland, now that would be cool. Nothing like throwing up while on matterhorn...that would be tite.

So i went to the local indian casino to play in a no limit hold em tourney. 13 buy in, with $10 add ons. I lost pretty quick...made it about an hour. I hate playing at those casinos tho..nothing but a bunch of ghetto ass mother fuckers, old filipino gambleholics, and people who do'nt care about the money. I swear, what's the point of giving everyone the same amount of chips when they can just buy more right from the get go. Fucking stupid. I lost to a river rat too, that fucking prick.
Oh wells, at least i wasnt the first person out the table. It was a good experience tho. It's alot different from limit hold em or a live game. I think i'd better read more poker books or just play more.

Anyone down for a reno trip come Sept or Oct?

Tight....free tomo's and poker. Sweet.

Home again in august. Not looking forward to it.

hope you guys are doing well.

Some recent things I have observed on my recent trip to Los Angeles...
 
1.  Every single time we ride Pirates of the Caribbean, we get stuck on a boat that seems to be going back to China.  As a reminder I think the cast members at Disneyland should realize I don't have a brown backpack, pink hat, pink shoes and a nasty of a color plaid shirt.  I mean c'mon...put me with the white folks.
 
2.  I'm getting old.  My feet hurt after 2 hours of walking around.
 
3.  Space Mountain is on track to be opened in 2008.  Big Thunder Mountain keeps killing people (operator error though), Matterhorn needs some serious oiling and Splash Mountain is where you go to see Tony without his shirt on.  (As we are going up his shirt is on...after we splash down I turn around and see his shirt off with a big grin on his face)
 
4.  No one takes good pictures around Disneyland.  They are all the cheesy, stand in a line in front of a bush and smile.  I think for the first time in my life I'm going to take a real 35mm camera in there with black and white film and take some dope ass pictures for about 2 hours.  (No more because no one wants to lug that thing around)
 
5.  Those tram people DO NOT sound like Homestar Runner.
 
6.  Tony hates paying quality money for quality ramen in San Jose.  He'd rather eat branches and pho.  So you should see him try to save money in Disneyland.  I think his cheeseburger cost 8.50.  He drank the water out of Splash Mountain.
 
7.  Out of all the sluts...er princesses I saw there, I think that Belle (yes the French one) and Jasmine looked the best.  I wonder if they can take those costumes home.  I could do some fun stuff with the Minnie's head.
 
All in all I still stand by that Disneyland is a awesome place to go with friends.  Sure it might not be Vegas or be on the same level of getting piss drunk, but the ambiance is bar none.  You can never find trouble and everyone is out to have a good time.  I talked to Shannon and we decided that we are all (I guess Jen, Aaron and Linds can come...hehe) going to go next year.  It's Disneyland's 50th anniversary.  Hopefully Space Mountain will be up again, you can ride Tower of Terror (fucking dope) and we can even go clubbing around LA...and stop off at the Best Western where our heroes, the Swingers ate.  Of course this trip is about a year and half away, but I thought I'd mention it now only because I'm sure rooms are already being reserved for the celebration.
 
Hope all of you had fun at Mountain View and Steve...for your shameless plug of Tomos...I will treat you...we can go up to Fresno for the day and play cards (they don't have a button charge there either).  Peace.
