Been missing out on a lot of Street Fighter this week as I’m starting to get swamped by work again. I’m very close to revealing my passion project. I hope it comes out well.

I literally gambled all of Memorial Day weekend starting Thursday night. I am now $700 richer, but 4 days retarded. FML.
I’ve had some friends I haven’t seen in a long time come over for the long weekend. It’s been good times so far. Lots of movies, good eats, and gambling. Sick. All of us are currently up and collectively I think we’re up two grand. I’m going to need money in the next few months for my special project. I think I’m very very close to securing a venue for this event. I have a website in the works and lots of calculating to do. This is going to be a ten thousand dollar project for me, but I think it will be well worth it. I think I may be ready to unveil it within in the next two weeks or so. It’s going to be great!
So the Denjin Ranking Battle should be underway. I wonder who will come out on top? Clearly not me, since I just woke up =P Good luck to those out there.
Arcade Infinity Ranbat
Me and my best friend Vanessa
Tomorrow I will be doing a little shopping for an event I may throw. More details to come later if I can come through with this. Probably end up at Arcade Infinity afterwards to practice up for the tournament. My game has been pretty stagnant. Must develop my abilities.
Keno and Teresa at Keno's 21st Birthday Party
Had a big celebration last night at Banana Bay for Keno’s 21st birthday. Over 35 people were in attendance and it was a night of drunken debauchery and public destruction.
The night started at Arcade Infinity where everyone tried to get in a few casual matches. It was good to see Ryan (Gootecks) and Mike Ross back from the East Coast. They have leveled up even more. Got to see a lot of faces that don’t normally show up anymore including VictheSlik and Tonycrust. It was a good time.
Around 10:00pm, we all made our way to Banana Bay for dinner and drinks. Kai and I got Keno 4 and a half Gorilla Farts. If you don’t know what a Gorilla Fart is, it’s equal parts Bacardi 151 and Wild Turkey. It smells awful and burns all the way down. If it’s your 21st birthday, then you better not remember it. It’s the code I try to live by. I doubt Keno will remember much. You will notice his eyes in the photo above has clarity and display his awareness of his surroundings. Make sure to go through the pictures in the gallery below to see when Keno is clearly not okay.
I myself had a pretty hefty amount to drink: 1x Thai Tea Twist (new favorite), 1x Vodka Tonic, 2x Kamikaze, 1x Crown and Coke, 1x Long Island Ice Tea, and 1x Jager Bomb. My headache this morning was just awful.
At some point in the night, Keno went to the restroom. The auto paper towel dispenser seemed to have been malfunctioning as waving your hand across the sensor resulted in nothing. Flustered, Keno ripped the dispenser off the wall. It seems like the logical thing to do, when you’re drunk.
All in all, it was a great time. Decent food, good drinks, great people make for a fantastic night. Unfortunately, it makes for a shitty fucken next day at work when you get home at 4:00am. C’est la vie.
Arcade Infinity Ranking Battle this Sunday. We’ll see how I do.
On to the photos!
Headed over to Kai’s last night and we watched the new Star Trek movie. It was really good. We also ate native American inspired cuisine at a restaurant called the “Blue Agave.” Pretty good stuff.
Still working on a big Street Fighter project. Hopefully in the coming weeks, I’ll be able to unveil it.
Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms out there. I spent my Mother’s Day (obviously with my Mom) at nice seafood restaurant in Newport Beach. It was nice.
On another note: I am in the midst of working on a Street Fighter event that will hopefully be a success. It’s still going to be a long ways off but we’ll see what happens.
Kai plays Fuson909 while ShglBMX takes on Mr. KoF.
Had a good night of casuals at Arcade Infinity tonight. Fuson909, Kai, and ShglBMX were in for play and we all had good rounds. I played a lot of King of Fighters XII tonight. It’s a fun game, but I can’t stray too far from Street Fighter IV.
ShglBMX, Kai, and I had Claimjumpers before heading to the arcade where I had a full rack of ribs. Good stuff. It may have helped me do decently as I pulled a 20 win streak in SFIV.
Probably not going to have a lot of Street Fighter time the rest of the week. Gotta finish up a lot of work and then I’ll be going to my parent’s home for the weekend to celebrate Mother’s Day. I’ve got a nice dinner reservation at a seafood restaurant on the coast of Newport Beach. Should be nice. Too bad I’m going to be missing the Denjin Arcade ranking battle. Good luck to those that attend.
Arcade Infinity Ranking Battle 2.2
Just got back from AI Ranbat 2.2 where I think I must have gotten like 17th ish or something. I played Moval in the 2nd round where my need to do crouching jabs were punished heavily. A trick I believe that won’t work on me anymore, but it cost me heavily to learn the lesson.
I came back and beat out a number of people in losers when I got a phone call from my old friend Jennifer. She was having a birthday get together tonight in Mission Viejo and since I haven’t seen her in forever, I felt like I should go. I didn’t want to just throw away the tournament though, so I was in a state of ambivalence. Luckily enough, after a few more games in the losers bracket, I came up against my old California Regionals partner, Bryant the Tyrant. Bryant and I generally go back and forth. Abel is a weird match where I’ll either just completely dominate the round or get wrecked. I think both characters are momentum characters so whoever gets it, wins it. Well, Bryant took me out and I was free to come home.
Glen from Getyourtournament.com wanted to do an audio interview with me for his site so I obliged and spoke with him for a bit. Interesting that I’m getting interviews and whatnot. My life has completely changed since Nov. ‘08.
So anyways, here I am back home. I think I got 17th-ish or something. I’m sure the official results will be posted later and I’ll update my games page. Time to take a shower, put on some nice clothes, and head out to Mission Viejo and catch up with old friends.
