Hey nigga, where you from?

Accessing the internet through my phone right now (holy fuckin' technology, Batman!) 'cause I'm so bored at my lil' cousin Janine's 17th Birthday party.

It was grappling day in Capoeira today. The plan was to go to training in Sylmar Park and go straight to my lil' cousin's party in Northridge afterward. Honestly, as much as I love grappling so far, I just don't enjoy getting dirty beyond the washing machine's repair. When my mom said she was coming home with sushi, and I didn't wanna rush eating sushi before training nor could I wait to eat it much later, I called in sick.

I called Jesse I to ask him to make a mental note of what they would learn today so I could catch up later, like a school kid - or a parent, rather, since a school kid wouldn't be that responsible - asking for his assignments while sick. Wow, where was that passion when I was in school? I just don't wanna fall behind. I have 6 victories via submission so far, including over Andres (our teacher) himself! And nobody besides Andres has made me tap out (give up) yet.

Last year, my lil' cousin had her Sweet 16 party at my house. Her friends were primarily nerds, but there was at least 1 chick that was jackoffable (it's legal in some parts of the East Coast and in other countries, so shut up). It was cool how they were checking me out in my Gryffindor tanktop. But today, wow, all her new friends here look like douchbags and there's not 1 looker out of the 3 girls here. I guess she downgraded this year in terms of people she hangs out with.

Surprisingly, her boyfriend is here and Uncle Lando (her dad) is ... ok with it??? That's some upsidedown shit. I remember when Uncle Lando locked her out of the house and disowned her for having a boyfriend. Her boyfriend and I had to pretend meeting each other for the 1st time today. We 1st met at the Britney Spears concert they dragged me to last April, but Uncle Lando's not supposed to know he was there with her. I still remember our 1st conversation:

COUSIN ANDREE: (to me) Are you gonna be an overprotective cousin?
JANINE'S BOYFRIEND: Hi.
RYAN: HEY NIGGA, WHERE YOU FROM?
COUSIN JANINE: Ryan!

Urgh ... Gotta get back to the party now. Whoop-de-freakin'-do.
