CARLOS: What are you up to?
RYAN: I'm about to buy milk. I feel like such a grownup!
I walked in late to Capoeira as usual.
LOUIS: We saw you in your car, taking your time, wondering whether or not to put your windshield cover on even though there's no sun!
RYAN: What are you taking about? There's sun!
LOUIS: You parked your car in the shade!
My balance is getting better. I was able to do squats with Jesse II on my back. But when he wrapped around me and tried to do sit-ups, I fell forward by his 2nd sit-up. Aside from the above, Jesse I, Diana, Jason (this being his 2nd class) and of course Andres were present. There was also a little kid named Ricky, but he gave up early.
ANDRES: You were pretty fucked up last Saturday. But we were drinking too when you called. We bought some vodka and made screwdrivers.
No wonder he's not so hard on me for drinking. Lil' Louis had a hard time with pull-ups.
LOUIS: Too many pull-ups in my life. (turns to me) Like too many beers in your life. You better quit it.
JESSE I: Did you get a girl on Saturday?
RYAN: Um, no, I cock-blocked myself.
LOUIS: How do you cock-block yourself?
RYAN: Well, what had happened was--
ANDRES: We'll teach you.
LOUIS: What? Are you gonna make a "What to do" video? Or "What Not to do?" Or "How to be Ryan?"
Ha. That Louis. I should make him tap out again like I did last Wednesday. We spent a good deal today on maintaining rhythm while switching on the instruments. Some spectator named Chris, who claimed to have never seen Capoeira in person before, was impressed. He said he trained in Krav Maga in Sherman Oaks. He said that place charges $125/month.
I rushed out as soon as class was over to get ready for my mommy treating Carlos, Michelle and I to dinner at Cheesecake Factory in the Americana. It's 'cause Carlos and Michelle are moving to Nebraska. My mommy invited their kids too, but they left them behind 'cause baby Abby screams in restaurants. But Diana assumed I was rushing to do more partying. So that's my rep now, eh?
Dinner was good. Veronica was there. She even brought us some stuff while our waitress was taking a break. Veronica is from my childhood. She appears black, but she's actually Filipina as she was raised by her Filipina mom. I'd hit it.
Carlos went to pee. Was gone for a while. Came back with a Jack & Coke. Of course. Michelle says not to talk to Pinky anymore 'cause she "did something bad" to 1 of her friends and not to ask what nor to who she "did something bad" to. Ok.
Pause. Who's Pinky? She used to go to PWG and sit next to us before disappearing to train as a wrestler herself. She also hooked up once with our other friend Caesar (not to be confused with my Capoeira classmate Caesar). I thought that was a joke at first. But wasn't. Must've been some serious beer goggles.
CARLOS: Is Pinky in the database?
RYAN: No. That's, like, erectile dysfunction.
MICHELLE: She's what you'd think of to make morning wood go away.
CARLOS: It goes away too when you pee. I think I'd rather pee.
