Thanksgiving Weekend

November 24, 2009
I’m tired again today so I go to the new place on Northern that’s across the street from the bus station. They didn’t have ice coffee though, no coffee in the middle of fall? Cmon! I had to stick to that hot stuff, blegh. On the bus ride, behind me are two Chinese men speaking Mandarin. One guy seemed to know more about Thanksgiving and it felt like he was almost teaching the other one about the American ritual of Thanksgiving. I took an anthropology class on food and drinking customs. I also got to hear it through their Mandarin. Who said I wasn’t still somewhat Chinese?
On the train to NYU, I see a guy dressed like Jimi Hendrix. He has a small amp attached to him and he’s playing the blues. Awesome guy. I give him $1, but then he doesn’t continue playing and just rants about how the Native Americans got screwed over. Fuck him man.
Spanish class is meh as usual, though this weird Asian kid is hilarious next to me. He always talks about random stuff. He once said that I should go in the front of the class with him to do the stanky leg. I mention Ice Cream Paint Job to him and he literally starts ranting off all the lyrics and semi-dancing to it in his seat. Kid is so freakin’ random and hilarious.
Subway is pretty narsty, but I get a footlong for lunch because shit’s pretty darn healthy and filling for the amount of calories. Well at least I eat half of it and then hours later eat the rest. I get a bit of paperwriting in the library and have nothing to do but wait for my next class. It’s way freaking boring and I just sit around instead of actively trying to participate for points. It’s all about lame stuff about minorities and discrimination and profiling. Wah wah, boo hoo.
On my way home, I pick up some whiskey for the weekend. I get home and chill out and do some paper writing. Turns out I’m working tomorrow. Makin’ monies yo.

I go to work and just do some random work. I wouldn’t do anything anyway if I was home and it’s money. More money for the liquor and shit brah. I get Chinese takeout for lunch. It’s all steamed veggies, bland steamed chicken, and white rice. Gotta get that sauce on side so you only use like a bit of the sauce and no kill yourself with the calories of it. That’s how our diet goes playas.
The night before, I make an event on Facebook for people to do pre-Thanksgiving dinner. I planned on cooking Thanksgiving since I would want to do that tomorrow. However, mom’s going to Virigina to see my aunt so I’m not cooking for the fam. Turns out no one was in so I didn’t do that. I instead finish up my paper that’s due at 7.
I try to throw a last second thing to have dinner at my place since no one’s home. People seem to have pre-Thanksgiving plans though and it sorta doesn’t happen.
It’s Evan’s shindig at his place tonight and I end up hitching a ride from Alon. It’s pretty ballah with liquor, loads of people, etc. Also a bit weird since his fam is upstairs.
Highlights? Kenny chillin himself at the TV. Stefan rolling in with two Bud Lights, opening one, splattering it all over the floor, being loud, and causing mad ruckus. I need this kid around more. What mess. Not cool though causing the mess part.
Two Kaitys from high school show up, random much. We all start getting kicked out at one point. Jonah and I hang out at Bolanos for a little bit along with the other Bolanos siblings. That’s the night.

I wake up and shmooze around because I’m a bit out of it from last night. I catch up with Corinne a bit even though she invited me up to Boston to have Thanksgiving with her fam. After staying up a bit, I decide to take a nap. I feel like cooking because of the holiday, but it’s almost 6:00 by now. Stop and Shop and Waldbaum’s are close. Thank you Koreans!!! H Mart is open!
I do loads of ambitious cooking plans and buy loads of stuff, but then I feel lazy and don’t carry it through. I eat grandma’s hand made dumplings, which she left loads in the freezer. I also bake some cookies. Almond apple oatmeal cookies. They’re really ugly looking because they’re oatmeal cookies, but they’re really good.
My house is open tonight and I tell people to come over. Candace, Damien, Kim, and their friend come. At least Damien and Kim appreciate the cookie yummyness. I need to bake more oatmeal cookies sometime. They’re so good. All cookies should be oatmeal cookies…
We get some drinking action done. It doesn’t go too long because I have work tomorrow. However, this is not without the awesome chick ever that Avi brings along. She’s pretty drunk and she’s just hilarious. Multiple times during a conversation, I had to put my arm over my mouth because I had to hold back from bursting out laughing. Bolanos was later quick mean and described her as the dumbest girl ever.
She apparently was recently fired from Hooters. She had weed on her and a co-worker ratted her out. Woops I guess. She lets me smell this glasses case and it reeks of weed. She said she can’t smell it anymore because her car is covered with a weed smell.
We then get into a conversation about “breaking the seal” as in peeing when you’re drunk. She says she hates doing that because then she has to pull over and pop a squat. So to remind you. This involves drinking, not peeing, then driving while intoxicated and public urination. Now that is classy stuff. People like this need to be around more for my entertainment.

I have work and I get back at 5-6:00ish. I’m driving my uncle’s Altima because mom took the Fit with the fam to Virginia. When I get out of work, I notice that the left side mirror had been sideswiped. It’s still on, but the mirror is cracked in half and broken. That’s bullshit man. However, you gots to fix that shit yourself instead of a repair store. It’s a simple mirror. It would cost loads to actually get that fixed the “right way.”
I get home and I take a nap. Waking up early in the morning for work and going out at night can have its effects. I get up and for some reason feel like cooking Asian. I go to H Mart and buy some Coke Zero for drinking this weekend. You can go on Facebook to see the dish I made.
Some of the guys are going to see Ninja Assassin, but I still hadn’t eaten/worked out. I get my work out done, which I’m still trying hard to keep a good schedule with. At night, Aaron and a bunch of his friends, and Stefan and CNF come over. Then Bolanos. We get some drinking done and then it’s a coincidence that Avi told me about a party and also one of Aaron’s friends.
Bolanos and Stefan go to Wendy’s at 12 for some reason. The rest of us leave and go up North to the party. We get there and it turns out that it’s this is a party that Avi is throwing, but at this girl’s house. That’s a nice situation. Sitting on the table is loaves of bread, oh my god. She works at Murray’s Cheese and we’re making grilled cheese. I get that going because I’m the drunk chef bitches. I serve that shit up. Cutting bread, cooking on the skillet. That’s what I’m about bro.
I get some mad drinking on so before I left, I sent an email to my boss that I might not be coming in. How responsible of me. Apparently Stefan is being gangsta Stefan and really didn’t fly with one of Aaron’s friends, Mariela. It turns out that they had a feud going or something. I walk over to Stefan, who is passed out on the girl’s couch and tell him about Mariela is talking shit. Sorry if you don’t find this funny, but I wanted to start some drama. Unfortunately, we had lost gangsta Stefan and he was just tired and didn’t give two shits.
At one point, Bolanos asks where Avi is since he’s been gone for a while. Being the sharp man that I am, I say that the host has been gone too. We know what’s happening (wink wink). Avi later comes from upstairs and the lady comes down minutes later. I confront Avi and I’m obviously a genius because I figured that out. Apparently he’s also trying to rock a threesome with this girl and Hooter’s girl from last night. Shit is boy got his game rocking. Playa playa.
The girls ends up passed out completely on a couch and we start get going. I get home by 3.

I wake up myself at 8:00, but I cannot get up. I snooze more and more until it’s finally 12:00 and it’s too late to get to work. I guess I’ll take the day off. It’s more that I’m just super tired because of hanging out/working. I’ll take it easy today. This way I have time to chill out, do some errands, and get some work done because papers are going to be due soon with the end of the semester coming.
I decide to invite Miah and Bolanos over for dinner. I go to H Mart for some groceries. At my place, I fry up some dumplings. We cook marinated beef. I make some kale for myself. There’s also egg fried rice. We then start drinking and I take loads of shots with Bolanos. Spamps and Caroline pick us three up to go to Josh’s. We’re barely there before we go to a bar.
It’s quite a walk, but the bar is awesome because there are catering containers of stuffing and turkey. I didn’t have any Thanksgiving food so that’s awesome! Nothing’s better than being way drunk and grabbing mad free food. I don’t know if it’s free or anything, but no one at the bar says anything. Bolanos at 12:00 wants to go to the city to hang with Shek. I’m against it, but I’m drunk and Bolanos said he’d pay for the cab all the way from Brooklyn.
We meet up with him at 23rdish. Apparently Atron is in the city and we run into him at the bar. However, he’s got feuds with Shek and stuff, so I only say Hi. The two decide to go to Fat Cat and Shek drives us down there. They play a bunch of ping pong and Bolanos hurts his arm. We go to catch the 3:19 and Shek drives us to Penn.
We run into Atron again and I decide for some reason to brown bag a Bud Light because I’ve never done that before. Bolanos and I down that beer. Atron says that we were way messy. Apparently, I was making weird comments and Bolanos said that he wanted to “fight my back.” He then proceeded to punch my back for no reason. He wanted to get into an actual fight, I don’t know why… Atron wanted to distance himself from our drunk messy selves.
We walk from Little Neck to my house where his car is. We go to 4:00AM. What’s better than an everything bagel with lox spread at this time of night. Nothing. Done deal night.
Btw, I’ve been watching these:

She’s a model that has been traveling Asia and stuff. That’d be an awesome life, though doesn’t make an awesome vlog. However, I think she’s pretty quirky and awkward and funny in a weird sense, which is good since most people who try to be funny just aren’t.
