Spring semester is going well so far. I haven't come across any problems or numerous workload. The only problems I'm having this semester is work. Work is taking too much of my time and it leaves me with no time to do other things like homework and have free time. I've been slipping in statistics due to numerous mistakes which I simply could of detected it if I didn't rush my quizes. It's a wishful thinking to have homework take up a short time or not have any at all.
To relieve this stress, I decided to go to Davis on wednesday to chill with Gary & Sayuri. I give my condolescence to Gary for loosing someone that's close to him. I feel bad that Gary always visits us the bay and no one returns him the favor. After class, I went to Davis and got there in 1.25 hours (I think that's a record for me).
We ate at this Pita place near campus and we all know that Gary is very VERY picky when it comes to food. Gary ordered philly cheesesteak and Sayuri ordered some sort of lamb or sheep. Eating sheep or lamb is disgusting. Gary didn't know that philly cheesesteak came with bellpeppers in the meat. He was about to ask the guy to change the order after it was made. I sacraficed my chicken pita with Gary's order because I'm a good friend and I don't want conflicts to arise. Damn, I didn't want to eat meat, there's too much cholesterol (I'm going to die soon!). Anyways we made fun of each other while we were eating. It was good times all over again.
I woke up the next morning to get started on my homework. Since I couldn't get a wireless connection, I had to use Gary's cable and work on his desk. I turned my chair to get my calculator. As I was turning, my computer dropped and my screen went blank. My monitor got busted (TEARS X1000000 times). Gary woke up and asked me what happened. I tried to restart the computer and adjust the monitor, but I couldn't get the display back up, SAD TIMES!
We meet up with Sayuri for lunch and ate at a chinese restaurant. The waiters didn't seem to be friendly. It seemed that they wanted us out a.s.a.p. We glanced at the window looking at cars that were parallel parking. Davis drivers really don't know how to drive. I asked Sayuri if we were still on for the trip to Japan. She said no! OUCH! There's no reason for me to go anymore (TEARS x1000000000). After we ate, we opened our forturne cookie. Gary's forturne said that he should stick or be proud of his culture. Sayuri's said that she would be artistic. And mines said, your luck will completely change today. I kinda think about it and thought that I will get lucky. But I realized that I broke my computer. Sayuri told me that my luck could change for the worse. I thought "OH SHIT!" It turns out that I really had a bad day.
We left the restaurant and went to the post office to mail my trades. I looked at the office and it was closed. Why would a post office close this early, it's only 12:30? I read the sign and it said the office is closed from 12 to 1 for a lunch break. LUNCH BREAK???? There's no such thing as a lunch break for stores. Would Macy's close to have their associates take a lunch break? GEEZE. We decided to go back after Gary gets a haircut. We went to the barber and there was a card shop next to it. Sayuri and I went to check it out. I was looking at a ton of cards while she was looking at figurines and other stuff. After Gary was done, we talked to the owners about Magic while I was still looking at cards. Sayuri got bored and wanted to go home. She suggested that she would go home and meet us back. 2 people entered the shop and wanted to draft, so we took accpeted their challenge.
I had the best deck that anyone can get. 3 rats, nijitsu and bouncers. Due to a careless mistake and being to aggro, I lost the 3rd game to a bullshit deck. My luck is getting worse. Loosing to newbies, wtf???? (This will be the last time I talk about magic in my blog, reasons comming up ahead).
We left the shop and went to the post office to send my trades. I went up to the counter and asked to send the letter with comfirmation. They said that I couldn't send it that way. I got furious and left cussing. I shouted out "What else could go wrong?" We went back home and Sayuri was there sleeping. She woke up to check something out on her computer. Gary told her that we lost a draft and I told her that I didn't want to talk about it. Sayuri said something and I couldn't hear it. I asked her what she said and Gary told me that she said "That's what you get for ditching me!" I felt shocked and felt that I got stabbed in the heart. I tried to appologize but they closed their door with Gary and Sayuri inside the room.
I tried to think about what I have done to her. Damn the fortune cookie, haunting me with this bad luck. I realized that what she said is true. I think I'm prioritizing gaming over everything else. Everything that I have done is my fault. Come to think of it, Magic has been revolving around my daily life and it's sinking in to become part of it. I packed my stuff, left their place and decided to go home. I didn't want them to feel awkward while I'm staying there. Sayuri is right, I ditched her and I don't blame her for saying that statement.
After realizing that this is an addiciton, I've decided to sell my cards and no longer be involved in this evil entertainment. I think of this as a new beginning to my life and hopefully this event won't happen again. I talked to Jeff Skoony about it and he has been really helpful through this rough time. It's cool to have Jeff Skoony as a friend, not only as a magic friend, but a friend that understands about reality. I can say the same for the new friend I met, Anthony, who wants to accomplish his dream of uniting the community of gamers. The first step to resolve the problem is to admit it and take steps to resolve it.
Sad day it was. No reason for me to go to Japan anymore, UNLESS Skoony goes with me.
Japan fund: $0 at the moment. I'm transfering it to my Savings until something happens. |
