Will The City Miss The Black Guy?

Ok, ok so the past 9 weekends I’ve been living it up in the city just causing mischief here and there, making new friends, clinging with old ones and just going about my semi-popular lifestyle. Now FOOTBALL SEASON is here and I think I need time to relax and go under the radar for the weekend because these next 5 months are going to be the busiest of my liiiiife. With the opportunity of having a lay low spot in Harrisburg Pa. I will be relaxing out there for a couple of days. It’ll be good to get some fresh air and not see buildings or cabs every other inch lol. Come next Monday The Blackmaiin will be back in full swing with a new attitude driven by a motor that can be matched by no man. It’s game time baby!!!

Vacation + recession = Staycation

When days are long… you’re in the office for countless hours staring at a computer screen… answering phones non stop just trying to enjoy a bagel, it’s time to look up and say “I need a vacation” its now the middle of August and that’s exactly what I’m gonna do. Im taking the next 3 days off to spend with my bestest female friend Jessica, who is also my cartoon animator. The last time we took a vacation was last December spending a couple days in LA for the Rose Bowl and NYE. It’s funny how we both work while talking via e-mail everyday, all day long lmao, but that’s what friends are for right? Now, even though we set up an itinerary for the next 5 days of liiiiiife I doubt we’ll stick to 50% of what’s planned. With both of us being in this working world for over a year, it’s time for a little breakbutt and I need to have my friends visit me or else ill lose what’s left of my mind…Stay tuned for some fashionable action from the Blackmaiin :)

Kickball Season Countdown...

The season begins on September 13th...6 games...Sunday nights....LIIIIIFE.

We had our social last night on the lower east side just to talk game plans, have a few drinks, and do a little bar trivia "which I'm not very good at" I really can't wait for this season to start because our team consists of all run down PSU athletes hahaha, which makes it fun that our school has a bond that is still connected years after college is over. Of course I'm the only black guy on the team :) so that gives us the "intimidation" factor over our opponents.

I recently went to my gym and asked a trainer to take me through a kickball workout, he stared at me and laughed "what the hell would be included in a kickball workout!?". He saw the serious look on my face and we immediately began doing kicks and leg exercises to get me into peak fitness before the season starts. When there's a sport I play I need to be physically and mentally ready. Of course I havent played since 5th grade on the Clarendon school basketball courts but times have changed since then, only Sep. 13th will show if the training is successful hahahaha....I'M READY TO GO!

Bar Tour...an attempt but NOT THIS TIME

This past weekend my boys and I tried going on a secaucus bar tour. We set up 28 places in our home town where we would have one drink and move along to the next bar. This event was a lot harder than expected. We did get through 16 of the 28 but we didn't finish so boo hoo. Being that we tried this on a Friday after work wasn't a smart idea because we were all tired to start off. We will be doing this challenge again next month hopefully, but adding in spots to eat and having it on a Saturday which will give us more time to accomplish this challenge. This coming weekend will call for a little downtime and a beach visit...I feel like I'm losing some blackness hahaha
