Stupid Final exam of the semester... I thought I would have been done by now...
Well at least it’s done now.
Best Week, really has been the best of the summer...
I didn’t write as much as I wanted to. I never got a chance to write about, the Links between My chuck-e-cheese experience (In New Jersey)…how it was somewhat similar to gambling in Atlantic City (New Jersey). I had been formulating the post all week in my mind…
Was gona link the similarities between playing games at Chuck-e-cheese earning tokens – redeemable for toys … and gambling (playing with tokens) – redeemable with cash…
I was planning to tie that in with the recent corruption scandal in Jersey and the nasty tasting water…
For my NY stage... I was gna write about “beer summits” (hanging w people I haven’t seen in months)... Somewhere along the line, I had decided to look for job’s (preferably con looking types), and going for interviews, and just doing them as badly as I possibly can... Rain etc, didn’t check out the museums, sights etc….(Maybe next staycation)
Instead, I have been sleeping for most of this week, been mostly unsociable… But I Kinda enjoyed that.. I am that dude that is cool wit u at the party, but really not.
Maybe nextime, We will actually plan the next bestweek ever... Hopefully we can do it together?
Road trip from LA to NY? Midwest tour? Southern tour? NY to Miami? And everywhere in between?
Pinks, CD, Nyash, Carol, Brian, we gona do this or what??? Maybe train rides then?
Anyway thanks for paying attention fam, We averaged about 100 or so hits a day…
Nextime maybe we will do more than email to do this…
* I think I forced a lot of things.. and if I did'nt get people hitting me up on the email, gchat, text etc, I prob would have spent the week, in bed with a bottle of johnny walker (would have been much cheaper - Now that's a real broke ass dude staycay)..

Bestest Movie ever...
Just saw G.I Joe…
Way friging astoundingly, awesomely, accurately accentuating adolescent aspirations...
Missiles, Sword play, airplane fighting, some acting (here and there), not too much mushy stuff!
Damn!!!! I need to get me a flux capicitator, a Delorean go back to the past and focus on being a G.I…
Summer movies, are all about bangs big budgets, graphics, and decent story lines... Star Treck was cool (I mean I was always a treckie, and Kirk is the second coolest captain, after Han Solo and just above The Sky Captain (sky captain and the world of tmrw)).. Wolverine was okay (but could have been a Hallmark flick), Transformers was aight (but them two stereotype car* thingies irritated me), I missed out on Terminator (Terminator 2 was too scary for me, so ill have to see that first), Up and (hopefully Ill have a blue ray disc player and surround sound system before then.
G.I Joe is like James Bond, Ironman, Top Gun, Starship Troopers, Neria, Once Upon a Time in China and Wanted all in one.
* I am sorry to any friends of mine that where raised in car voltron families, that have secret fantasies about Optimus Prime.

Issues
I got onto the Bus back home at 9.30am... got into NY around 4pm, Only had 2 hours of sleep the night before (You cant beat cheap college town/ after parties) In Mass. I can't sleep on travels, got back into the crib cried a lil bout my lost shoe...
I missed the crib, and now that I am awake, I see the crib’s pain. I know the TV missed me (it recorded the shows I missed when I left), but I think the fridge is still sulking (it's still empty).
The other shoes I own where out in full effect (and seemed confused in their mourning for their comrade that didn't come back from this trip), they are just scattered all over the place. I feel their pain, only one of em came back. And there is a new pair that seems to have taken a place of honor on the shoe rack.
I think the plates and dishes are also mourning and showing their unity by congregating in the Sink. Some of the glasses and plates are obviously struggling more with this whole shoe thing…and have distanced themselves with the ones in the sink (I was surprised to find the one plate in the bathroom).
the clothes can't seem to handle the stress either. They are just spread out all over the apartment.
I can’t take it either, I am awake now, the apartments apparent mourning is making me sad!
Gona go see Prince Paul (DJ for De La Soul) do his thing….
Hopefully, the apartment will get itself in order b4 I get back!

frigging Boston
I am extremely pissed off... I got into Beantown around 8pm on Saturday night... I Had Packed light, and was rocking my favorite sneakers…
As soon as I got into town I was told that, the places we where going to had, no sneaker rules in effect… So I pondered, pondered some more, thought about it, then decided I needed new shoes anyway... I copped a Charlie card, made it to downtown crossing, from south street station, hit Macy’s and got a white pair of shoes..
My memories of Cambridge somehow always involve lies from my friends, “yeah just get off at Kendall, on the Redline, and you will be at the crib in 5 min.” Which I now understand to mean, "Get off at Kendall and walk for about 50 minutes" , I am pretty sure the real reason why Ivy League kids are so successful is because they are particularly good liars!
In truth I think I have walked up and down Mass Avenue more than any other street in this country. After some bad directions and 45 minutes, of walking around I finally found my host, and it was late... (By late I mean Boston late, because they are so cool their clubs close at 2 am)... But I Digress..
In order to save time, we decided to break from the brokeassdudes protocol and take a taxi into the city.
The thing that I really hate about this trip is that, to save time I changed into my new somewhat funky ill pimping, extremely comfortable (despite first wear) new white, stylish, good looking, envy inducing new shoes… On the cab, ride downtown… The cab driver upon realizing that I had left one of my sneakers, in the car decided to drive off with my shoe. Why would he do that?
I think he was hating on my NY swagger… I love these shoes… if you have met me more than 1nce in the last 4 years you have probably seen me clocking these sneakers at least 1nce... I love them... My most favouritist, beautifullest, bestest, comfortableset, cool ass looking shoes EVER! I mean I have had so many sneakers throughout high school, always had a thing for Adidas Shoes... and these rank 1 (after the white Addidas Kobe’s-> 96, Grey spaceshoe looking Kobe’s -> 2000 and Black Kobe’s -> 99– well those where my brothers, but I used to steal them all the time, and front like they where mine).
I have had these shoes throughout all my travels, girlfriends, apartments, weight changes; I even stopped playing ball in them to preserve them. Damn I loved them more than my transformers pencil case (the one with the button that you would press and a sharpener would pop out, press another.. secret compartment, etc -> 86).
This Best Week is turning into worst week; I hope that taxi driver is looking good; dammit, I should have just stayed at home...
At least my beautiful classic Addidas Shoes would have still been here…

Killadelphia/ Illadelph
(city of brotherly love*)
Thanks to “The Twitter” and all my Tweeps, Twizzles, Twizas, Twiggas, Twitlians, Twitilians, Twistites, Twitenoligists, Twintenators (Think Gov of Cali), Twimps, Twoes, Twistitutes and Twits** I have pretty good plan's for NY… Thanks to "The Twitter" through the Network of Dj’s , clubs and neighbourhood promoters that I follow I’m Like the man in San Fran***
I am following Monie love (Classic Mc/Dj in Philly), but she aint telling me whats hood, good or popping in Philly, the tweets are more about stuff like “hey that sex in the club song was just a song!”, On that note Philly is sounding better and better by the tweet…
The twitter and twitter app i use (ubertwitter) have been actingfunny , lately, but I managed to find a free Sam Adams beer tasting event (they where looking for opinions on which beer to submit to next years beer contest...whatbetter expert could they have asked for?)
I'm in the Hardrock Cafe right now (center city, philla), Apparently there is a UFC ultimate fighting thingy a block away, (I wish i knew/or cared) who these people where, cus people stay taking photographs of these UFC guys...
anyway.. Gotta go,gotta go, gotta go... gatecrash a farewell party (for someone moving to NY), and get prepped for Atlantic City tonight...
As far as sports go, I hate philly teams, more than any other sports teams from any other metro area (76ers< KNICKS, eagles < GIANTS, METS > phillies). Next time I'ma finna wear my Orange Converse Sneaks, Knicks T shirt and Met's cap!!!
Still I kinda like Killadelphia, The vibe is cool… Lot's of homeless people on the streets tho.. which reminds me,I have decided to look at job postings and go for interviews when I get to back to NY (just for the hell of it- this is what people with nothing to do.. do****)
* I would have commented about that name, but… all I can say is maybe Batman, Robin, Burt and Ernie prob spent a lot of time in philly
** Shameless self promotion, hopefully Ill show up in Bing searches.
*** Well really NY, but I have always wanted to describe myself as the Man in San Fran, Kinda like Dirty Harry.
**** also since I couldn't make it to the graduation I was supposed to have gone to this weekend, this gives me an opportunity to wear one of the 3 piece suits i rarely get a chance to.

Tu Cool for Skewl
Well they say they never really miss u till u dead or u gone...
That's why I was sabotaging the blog by not posting... Instead i occupied my time throughout the day by.. (1) refusing to wake up before 3 pm, (2) hacking "The Twitter" (making microblogging impossible), (3) failing to do my school work during the day time but instead opted to play ball (hurt my body), (4) laundry, (5) trying to finish quizzes, homework and assignments before heading out to philly (an activity i failed at)...
My friend called me a chronic procrastinator earlier (I’m thinking to be associated with Dr Dre’s classic “The Chronic” is a great honor – Thanx Luv)
I'm still in New York, missed the last bus out to Philly (I couldn’t find my IPod…SO I missed the long island railroad to Penn Sta -->, bus, etc)
The day has been such a waste... So much, I Could have done...
Being broke, I would have fit right in with the Brooklyn people tonight... I could have gone to Coney Island, and seen white people dressing up and walking around like vampires*.
I mean some things are just things to do with your girl or good friend that's a girl like Slideluck Potshow XIII that was on today...
What I really wish I could have done tonight was hit the Prince Purple Rain** sing a long, for that one gf or not, I would have hit, who knows I could have bumped into Apolonia***
Instead I am here, in the am’s confused as hell, trying to finish schoolwork, I guess the school is too cool for me. but i refuse to accept that.. Im just gona try do more and see more cus i missed this one day, so i guess im still too cool for school****.
* Cmon now what would u have thought if I did that... At least if I had a chick, then id be excused...
RING RING (the broke assness requires YOU to do the, ring ring sound) "YOOOOOOO Yaooooooooooooooo, Yo!!!!!! Tunga wassup?????"... "Yo, Yaooooo yoooooooooooooo.. Nun jus chilling, drinking a bud, took a two hour train ride to Coney island, dressed up as a vampire, walking around Coney Island by myself, what u up to?"
That would be seriously wack might as well call myself Pandave blog about baby blue girly things, tomatoes , dinner for myself and The Tung allegedly speaking
*****
** Prince > MJ
*** C’mon kids, Think Kanye verse “since Prince was on Apolonia” she was the love interest in Purple Rain, HOOOOOOTTTTT
**** yes if u are singing along to puff and mase singing "school can't hold me down, ohh no, i gotta keep on moving on, ohh no, i gotta keep on moving" ...the school has alreadsy destroyed my summer.. On that note hopefully ill be done b4 the sun comes out (tonight)...
***** allegedly only because the validity of te blog is in question...why would such a great man waste his time and effort blogging to mortals?????

Take me to your leader!
Day 1 (sorta), just about to run through pa, nj, ma, ct* and the wonderful Empire State of New York.
The Blog has now officially started, thanx for the good looks, ideas, and advice much thanx to my friends and family from inferior states and towns** that I hope to see in the next couple of days.
I’d also like to thank, the super from my building who locks the laundry room at 9.30pm, the old lady from across the hall that act’s surprised every time she sees me (with that does he really live here expression), The sci-fi channel for changing it’s name to syfy (apparently calling it to sci-fi was too complex for the average viewer), Time Warner Cable for not disconnecting my tv and internet, the one and only pet that I have ever had that I allegedly killed by feeding it rat poison when I was five.
Hopefully we can have some random fun... Just downloaded some guide tour thingy’s.
5 states, 1 week, no money lets go….
* ct really has no identity, just gona drive thru…
** There is really only 1 city

An alien (be yourself no matter what they say)
A Zimbabwean in New York*
I have been getting a lot of questions, like “why are you doing this?”
Truth is I just enjoy it… I stopped writing for a minute…
About 4 am Saturday night I thought id combine my staycation and writing**. I don’t know if it has ever been done before, but it’s a totally original idea (much like slicing bread)... The blog is gona die In a week or so (when I get back to my regular life - so join in or miss your chance at making history). I got “The Twitter” set up to post on the blog page as I go along, on my one-week adventure thru the Northeast.
There is something about writing… Not just writing, but being able to communicate an idea or a concept follow it through (sometimes flip it, mid way through – for a somewhat humorous effect).
The real key or bonus for me is actually having someone actually WANT to just read the blog (despite the continuous calls, texts and emails to anyone who’s number, facebook or email I have asking “did u read my blog”), there is a sense of satisfaction derived from when people read it cus well… they want to***.
I really wish I had something mildly relevant to write about (like Obama drinking wack ass beer at a Beer summit)
The blogging is fun for me, I enjoy it... I cannot sing, draw, rhyme, write or even spell to save my life!!!
But I can be entertaining (well “some” of the times)… It’s not a career move (although I wish it was)
I have a week to kill starting “Tu” morrow had free time open up, I get to leave the apartment, see some old friends, I enjoy writing, might as well write about it.
I blog, cus its fun, I listen to the music I listen to not cus its popular cus I just like it.
If you where thinking it, you are right! I write just to make yaal dumber…
*Try Hum along to Stings song Englishman in New York, while u read this
** call it a beer-ephony

More Preperation
For now at least, we know that we have no working camera…
Gona have to rely on camera phones… (There is still a possibility I may be able to steal one from my sister, on day one of trip – My nephews birthday Wednesday night)*
The broke assness, has not allowed me do lundry** the way I would like to (drop it off and have someone else do it for me). The laziness has also been preventing me from doing laundry (yeah, yeah .. self explanatory), at this point I am wearing T –shirts I won at functions in High school after work (and my high school uniform at work***) .. The Laundry must be done!
I am in the process of “acquiring” season 1- 4 of curb your enthusiasm ( I only caught on around season 6), Loading them onto my portable hard drive. I know that there is a new album coming out sometime this week. But I cant for the life of me, remember who or what it is.
So.. In the last 2 days we have
1. Found places to stay
2. Tried and failed to fix camera
3. Set up “The Twitter”
4. Considered doing laundry
5. Added a new team member to the blog (yeah I know get a life @madomasi)
6. Considered doing laundry some more.
Broke ass uncle or not I really need to find a gift to get my 4 year old nephew, I wonder if he is into coupons, Or slightly used, beer stained, but still readable books on Micro Economics (think about it with all the notes and stuff in it, he will be better off when he starts college in 14 or so years, and to top it off it’s a second edition). Just to make it even cooler Ill just write "property of the
half blood broker"**** in the book.
Or maybe I will just be responsible and give him some (soon to be washed) clothes that he will hopefully never grow into***…
* Yeah so um… sister dear... “Borrow me” your camera, (never mind my track record with cameras- the last one almost lasted, almost a whole month)… Disregard the fact that If I loose it or break it, all those memorable pictures (that she almost surely hasn’t backed up will be lost).. so let’s see how gullible my sister is.
** Or do a spell check
*** The fat jokes are so tacky, lets be grown up here.
****cmon that was clever!!!!!

The Financial situation...
I’m afraid to look at the bank account, It had been looking good, but since I wasn’t paid my commission check (hopefully my dispute will be accepted and check cut before I start this adventure - but then that would take the fun out of it? No?? certainly give me less to write about!) , having rent taken out, with nothing going in is gona hurt big time!!! But at least I shall inherit the earth (the meek*).
At this point I have nothing to loose and the world to gain! If it comes through, then that long overdue IKEA trip is gona be a part of the yet to be finalized NY itinerary **, and maybe I can buy a blender stock the drink cabinet (buy some fruit) and use that drink book, I bought for my friend (the one that refused/"forgot" to take but instead decided to steal.. sorry I meant “acquire” some of my other items like my cool bag and winter wear… yes yes I am talking bout YOU!!!)***
If the check comes before all this starts then maybe, I can buy some John Deer clothes (to fit in with the Mass crowd – country folk/hippies).
Being broke is like living on borrowed time (and the clock is ticking fast), but there can’t be any thinking just doing, I should really just… adjust to it! Just make it right… Right? What it is is what it is… and what it ain’t, it ain’t! Everything is everything. No point in being a rebel with out a cause… Just make it relevant! Don’t fall In line and follow... tailor it for better things! Focus on perfection****
* Yes I can also quote from the bible (Matthew 5:5)
** By itinerary I mean I have a place to stay in NY
*** Not the “you” that reads my blog but the YOU that does not see that her family is not the Lion Voltron family (which mine is) but in fact the Car Voltron family that is relying on the Obama administration to bail her family out of the trouble that her family is currently is in... For the record, this person should not be ashamed after all Obama is allowing those clunks from the 80’s to be traded in for more fuel-efficient vehicles… Ohh right this person moved to Europe. Sorry!!!
**** Yes I can also write about life perspective, quotable quotes that can make you’re life better! … (Right)

Wait, shit
Wait, shit!
Turns out I may have jumped the gun, by communicating my intended scrubbing activities, some people in the cities I am looking to visit have been refusing to answer my calls*. Jokes aside I am quite amped to see a few good friends in Mass, and Philly (some I haven’t seen in years!)
So far so good tho, the Philly itinerary** is in check (Thursday), Atlantic city (Friday Night) is in place, I got Boston good (Saturday night), still trying to con people in the good state of Mass*** to BBQ (and possibly buy alcohol - Sunday afternoon).
The Twitter has me good for NY (when I get back) I got everything from art exhibitions, free movies (Bryant Park) and scavengers hunts good. I just need to figure out if I can get good FREE/RELATIVELY INEXPENSIVE things to see (Friday Day Time- Philly) and Boston (Monday Day Time). I am looking forward to the museums in Philly (got my student id card!!!), and happy hour by the Seaport. In AC them penny slot machines are sounding real real good right now.
I am hoping to find some good websites, or people to follow on The Twitter, in any of these cities!
* Or maybe my phone has been cut off (either way I aint telling), and I am just acting out to make it look like I have a working phone.
** By itinerary I mean place to stay (turns out I got a whole apartment to myself)
*** I can do it, Basketball season is out, Football season is out, best time of the year to visit Mass if u a Knicks, Giants fan…

Tools...
I have a Netbook with a wireless modem built in, I-pod touch, Blackberry, and what some may consider to be a sense of humor.
I am pretty sure I will be able to get on the internet and blog about what I am doing (batteries allowing)… from almost anywhere. (Except for that little bit of time I may to have spend in jersey)*
This blog, is only gona have content for the next week or so (while I am on my broke ass dudes adventure).
I am actually considering making a twitter account, specifically for the trip....Just so that I can blog and tweet at the same time...
The one thing I am missing** is a digital camera, I have 2, one has a broken screen (so you cant see what it is you are taking a picture of, and the other I dropped and a few screws came out***, so the little bit that I press to take picture button doesn’t work)
I guess I will try and fix it, borrow one, or just buy a damn disposable camera (hard to do on a broke ass n*g7a budget)
I am gona travel china town bus $15 to Philly from NY $15 to Boston… and try and con my homeboy to drive me to Atlantic City form Philly.
As far as what’s popping what’s hood and what’s free, I’m gona rely on... “The Twitter”****
* The caveman in the Geico commercial apparently lives there... last I heard they where still working on making the wheel, I seriously doubt they have internet there…
** Very funny if you where thinking sense of humor.
*** No really, if you are gona use that comment to take a shot at me, u gotta come up with better material!
**** the broke as dude budget requires YOU to do the dum dum sound from law an order every time I mention "The Twitter".

Lets Go!!!!!!!!
DUE TO SOME COMPLICATIONS AT WORK, I WAS NOT PAID TODAY!!!!! THE EVENT ITSELF WAS FORSEEN*…
Just Barely made rent, bills, credit card payments and subscriptions to which blogger will not allow me to mention do to censorship issues.
I had taken some time off work in order to attend my cousins graduation.
The initial plan was to head out to Chicago, hit the city hard, take a train to Indiana (see some cows), head back to Chicago then head out to Detroit** (all places I have never really been to - or remember even if i had), come back to NY, hit up the city for a day or three work free, then end it there..
I still have the time off work… The summer has been so uneventful, I refuse to make this summer suck more than it already has!!! I intend to make it the best week ever regardless…
On an extremely*** limited budget (after rent, bills and what some might call an addiction to not cooking my own food), my new plan is to hit up a few cities in the area (sleeping on couches, china town buses)..
I’m gona blog about it****, and hopefully make this all as fun as it possibly can be.
* A LITTLE CRYING, A LITTLE COMPLAIGNING, BUT FORTUNATLEY ALL IS NOT LOST (well not yet anyway)… we are still working on it and hopefully I may still see my commission check (which I rely on to survive)
** Spend 3 or 4 Hundred on a house
*** To put it mildly
**** Not sure if anyone will read it but regardless, I am gona go for it.
