Aight well then, lets get caught up here, so my journal doesnt look all outdated...
After the Sweden trip, as yall prolly knew, I moved out of Lake Claire after 2 years (and the UCF campus altogether after 3 years) and I now live in Pegasus Landing. Kevin subleased his apartment to me, so now I live in his former room. I suppose I'm the new member of the 108. Yay. Haha so anyways, even tho all the other people who used to live here still do, they aint around usually. Chuggin is here most of the week, but who cares cuz he doesnt go out anyways. Chris is here sometimes which is cool. And Raju, well forget about him, I'll be lucky if i see him before August when I move out, haha. Oh yeah, it took a week but they finally hooked me up with the internet, and now that I got it, their shit is always slow as fuck, as sadly expected. Fuck em, I'm just waitin for August 1st, our move in date for Riverwind!!
So I went back to Tampa the Monday before last, so I could appear in court. I'm sure everybody knows about me gettin arrested and all, and if not, just scroll down a few entries and read all about the bullshit. So I went before the judge lady, and I made my plea. Of course I plead guilty but I knew it didnt matter, cuz I had no prior record. And for first-time offenders, you can waive your right to a speedy trial and enter into the Misdemeanor Intervention Program. Basically it's just like probation, but minus the probation officer visits and shit. I'll prolly end up paying around 200 bucks to the Salvation Army when it's all said and done. What a buncha crap. FREE GRIMACE and FUCK TAMPA!!!!
A couple weeks ago Chris came around and we went over to Jason and Peter's house to chill. They drank wine and we all smoked cigars. Then drunken Chris called up some fat chick stalker of his or whatever, and she came over and gave each other backrubs. It was something Chris regrets and would like to forget. Hahaha, good shit. And so two nights ago, Chris told me of some big party goin down at that house, so naturally I'm down after work, cuz I'm never one to pass up a party. Well there was a good amount of people there, sorority chicks and all. They had some keggerator, which is a refrigerator turned into something where you put the keg inside, hook it up to the CO2 tank or whatever it was, and then from the outside of the frige you can dispense from the keg via the tap. They also made some giant 2 story beer bong, where the funnel is held from upstairs and people drink from downstairs... haha yeah, good shit. And of course there was fun drunk games like beer pong and flip cup. It was just a shame I had to work, cuz the beer ended up making me more tired than social, and I was just kinda floatin around the whole night, rather than my usual loud drunken self. Of course the ladies didnt pay me much attention, perhaps in part cuz I didnt pay much attention to them. The dudes were cool tho, they're all like HEY ITS GRIMACE, I LOVE YOU MAN, GIVE ME A HUG!! Haha it's all good tho, really... cuz my thang is, if everybody else is havin a good time, than it was a good night for me, I dont give a fuck. And so I sobered up for a few hours, and drove back Chris and his Palm Bay friends Juan and Fonzie to the 108 and we had cresent rolls and shit. Then I finally passed out around 6am.
Oh and last night I just worked, I ended up training somebody. But it's fuckin dishwashing, so basically i just had help, and I got out of there early. Then since Chris was around again, we went to Subway. And then I watched crazy hick shit on TV all night long, it was... great, hahaha. But in the middle of watchin tv, I got a phone call from a private number. And so it was some chick, she's like "what's up wanna see a movie?" and I'm like "...who is this?". And then she's just acting insulted that I dont know. I'm thinkin maybe it's random prank shit, until she calls me by my name. And she's like "meet me at the Duplex". But yeah, it was some strange shit, I dunno who the fuck she was. It coulda been a hot bitch wantin some lovin, but I guess I will never know. HAHA... dammit.
Anyways, Boston Market kinda sucks right now, and I been somewhat lookin for another job, or if possible, a second job. Cuz well, the people I work with is good people, they make workin there fun and shit. But it's business, and right now, 6 bucks an hour just aint payin the bills. Plus, I never liked workin in the fast food industry... been there done that with Mrs. Smokey's (in the Sawgrass Mills Circle) when I was 16, and after I left I vowed never to work in that type of business again. Well, I suppose when nobody else offers me a job for around 3 months, you'll work just about anywhere. But yeah, now that I got the job for a minute, I'd like to have a better one that will help me pay my fuckin debts, they too big right now.
Aight time for some music talk, I havent done this in a long minute. Not too long ago I got the Petey Pablo album, "Still Writin In My Diary: 2nd Entry". First off, lemme say that the last album I bought was back in November, so that should tell ya somethin right there. This is some tight shit, for real. If ya like his style, then you wont be disappointed. Lemme break down the collabos right quick. Yall already know about Freek-A-Leek, the Lil Jon production. That aint the only Lil Jon beat, there is prolly 2-3 more tracks with his shit, and on one he is featured on it. There is this Timbaland production, featuring Bubba Sparxxx, called "Get On Dis Motorcycle"... shit is a straight banger, it should def be the next single he puts out. Them Timmy beats always fie, and Bubba on the track only helped it, although I must admit Petey didn't need to help on the track, he was spittin. There is a bonus track at the end, called "Vibrate" featuring Rasheeda, and that will get ya movin, its tight. There is a Cash Money collaboration with Baby and TQ, with the Manny Fresh beat and all. There is a collab with Young Buck, and this funky type a song with Missy Elliott. There is even a Kanye West produced joint, for them folk who like that. And for the classic rock people, Petey samples some song by Chicago called "25 Or 6 to 4" and it really aint that bad, I like it. Anyways, even without all that extra shit, he comes correct on this shit. Perhaps it will be nominated for a grammy like his last album did. Haha, unfortunately shit has changed in the rap game this past 3 years or so, so I doubt that. Anyways, yeah go GIT DAT SHIT!
Lets see, I think I'm ending this now, I caught up and shit, so it's all gravy. My birthday is in a couple days, woo hoo. Haha, hopefully people will get together and do shit for my 21st. I know with such short notice, people cant organize nothin big, and besides, half the people I know aint round here right now. It's aight tho, as long as somethin goes down Wednesday. Oh yeah and then Memorial Day Weekend I'll be goin back to the FTL, to celebrate with the family and shit. Maybe perhaps, I'll find some hometown people to hit up South Beach, but that might just be wishful thinking, haha. And I will be back to this writing thang after it all goes down. So until then... TAKE IT EASY
