#54 Checking In
May 4, 2009Well, prom night has happened. My “Night In Paris” (prom name) has come to a conclusion. I’ll post some quick images to start this thing off. :)
Gettin Ready! ;D
Kayla and Myself :)
Travis and Myself :)
Kayla, Myself, and Ashley :)
MAFIA - In the blue, yours truly, Black/Red, Erik, White, Bernie, Purple n Red, Amy, and Black, GIOVANNI/Brandon
GIOVANNI - When he laughs, you betta be on yo toes just in case he's laughing AT you and will crack yo mothafuckin skull in!
Hahahaha…what can I say? I had a damn good time. The music sucked elephant dicks but everything else was pretty cool, everyone at the prom was looking great and we all had a good time, many of us thankful the school year’s about to come to a close. I think it goes to show, I can go to prom and look pretty damn good in a free suit, the fuck do I need to rent some expensive tux for? :)
I arrived early and was among the first in, at around 7:54, that’s when I signed in and entered. I at first was a little nervous and even confused, unsure of what was going on, really, haha. I turned out alright though, I greeted Kayla and her date, R.J., who was a pretty cool dude. For the first couple of minutes or so, we hung out and grabbed ourselves a table, just waiting for things to really start getting crowded. It didn’t take too long.
Lots of good people arrived, Brandon, Ryan M., Bernie, Dwight, Amy, Ashley, Ashley (again), Kayla #2, Adam, Joe, Matt, Ryan K., Brett, Ethan, tons of others.
We were all dressed to the occassion of course, after all, we were having our night in paris. ;p
I spent most of the beginning time just hanging about with Brandon, acting stupid. He arrived around 8:30 and we pulled out sunglasses and just spiffied ourselves up, and went exploring! We took in the craziness of it, just going around and having a good time. We saw our other friend, Ryan M. get in. He had originally been worried he wouldn’t be able to enter, as he had only a dress shirt, pants, and a tie, no actual suit, so he was considering not going. I convinced him to try and show up and that’d he be let in and sure enough, he got in. When he got in, we shared a quick high five and a hug, it’s a good thing that dude got in.
I just hung loose, I was making people laugh, I was dancing like a lunatic at times (such as headbanging to rap/poppy music), and I just kept smiling and taking it all in. I’m only gonna be in two proms, so I might as well enjoy them, that’s what I was thinking. :)
I danced with a couple of girls, mostly doing silly dances with Amy. She’s a nice girl, I had a good time just hanging around her and we did a lot of fun and silly stuff. :) Also, for the lone slowdance song of the entire night (the rest being rap/pop), I danced with this one gorgeous girl I pretty much don’t know. She and her friend saw Brandon and I sitting around and they asked us to dance with them, so we gentleman of course accepted. What worked out for me was the prettier one asked me! :D She was pretty and nice though, she told me she has a Facebook, I’ll have to get her on there, she told me her name…but of course, I forgot. Doh!
The after prom party was a little boring, but not too bad. I was the 54th visitor and was marked with that number on my hand, it’s currently still on there, actually. I ate some pizza, watched some people play around on some rides with Amy and Brandon, played some Wii myself, and then headed out after an hour or so there. Brandon was kind enough to drive me home which was about 30 minutes away and we proceeded to listen to crazy shit like this and metal like songs, it was pretty cool stuff, though!
All in all, I had a really great time, met some cool people, and just made a good memory. Fun times. :)
No Static At All
May 2, 2009Posting after a while. Hi there. o/
Well, my school prom is tomorrow. =O !
I’ve got a suit but I wasn’t going to bother spending a bunch of money (that I don’t have anyways) just to rent a tux, so I got a perfectly fine suit from my dad for free! It’s pretty sweet.
I’m not taking a particular girl out for this prom, although just going with the idea that going with friends is plenty good enough and honestly? I think it really is. I’ll dance around and talk with a bunch of friends, instead of being expected to go about with a single girl that I don’t know or care about much.
I’m not sure how to keep on going with this…I suppose it’s just an update post? Yeah, sure, let us call it that. Peace.
I Write Sometimes
February 5, 2009Tadakatsu Hatagami looks out the window from the house that belonged to the Takiguchi’s, it was a place that was all too familiar for him. Kaneshiro and Reika Takiguchi were in a way, a second pair of parents for Tadakatsu, their son Yuichiro being a brother to him. Tadakatsu had met Yuichiro all the way back in Primary school, right on a baseball field, a place that felt like Heaven for Tadakatsu. Closing his eyes, Tadakatsu recalls the memory.
Back then, the two often played together on the same team, however, on that day when they met a good decade ago or so, they played against each other. Tadakatsu’s team, which he, assuming the lead role of the team for being the best batter, named the team the Tigers. The opposing team with Yuichiro was called the Dragons, little Yuichiro having no say in naming the team at all, but rather tagging along and just trying to fit in. Tadakatsu had played a good game like he always, all but one of the hits going way back in the outfield and he scoring each time, the other hit being a grounder that launched with enough speed for the second basemen to miss.
While Tadakatsu shined and awed the rest of the playground baseball watchers with his batting ability, he amused them with his fielding skills, for back then, he struggled immensely in even watching a fly ball. The Dragons offense was often playing offense longer due to the mishaps and costly mistakes when he was on defense. Combining his two abilities, the score remained close, 5 to 4 Dragons by the last inning, two outs and the bases loaded. It was the perfect opportunity for Tadakatsu to win the game. Nothing felt better to him than making a powerful game-winning swing to conclude a close game for a glorious victory in the sport Tadakatsu loved with such devoted passion. He had never struck out, not one single time. He was flawless and was extremely proud of his reputation for never striking out, it had made Tadakatsu the cool kid and leader of the pact throughout the diamond shaped field and beyond the bleachers surrounding it. It made him popular, that felt so cool to him. With a confident, excited, and brash grin, he laughs at the shortest boy on the Dragons team, who had only been on the mound for a few minutes, his bad pitching being the reason for all three bases being loaded.
“Pitch the ball, pip-squeak! It’s time for me to win this game! Come on, throw it already!” Tadakatsu couldn’t have been anymore confident, after all, the kid against him couldn’t even pitch well! Plus, the guy was so puny! There was no way in hell he would lose the game against him. He knew the drill and had been in the situation more than once, swing the bat, run the bases, take in the “Wow Katsu! That was a great hit! You’re so good!” like comments and go home to tell his parents about it all at the dinner table. Tadakatsu licked his lips, smirking. This was going to be a piece of cake!
Tadakatsu carefully watches as the ball is released from the little guy’s hands, he motions his bat towards the ball and shouts, “Home run!” Tadakatsu’s eyes close as he hears a loud POW from the impact of the ball ricocheting off of the bat. “Home R-uhh…drats!” The ball went wide left, a foul ball.
Tadakatsu relaxes his grip on the bat and stares right into the small pitcher’s gentle eyes. “Lucky! You don’t know how lucky you got there, shorty! NO idea! Come on, pitch it, pitch it!” Laughter comes from the Tiger dugout bench, they all knew Tadakatsu would make the game-winning hit, he was Tadakatsu Hatagami after all! He never struck out!
The ball comes towards him once more, again he swings, this time keeping his eyes open. POW! Tadakatsu’s eyes watch the ball in excitement and he even jumps in the air! He tosses the bat to the side of the mound and begins to run towards first base, arms raised, fists clenched in victory. At least, that was before he heard with a loud shout, “Foul ball!” Tadakatsu hears a few people laugh and he angrily grabs his bat, marching once more the home plate, ready for his game-winning swing. Okay, enough fooling around, this game is mine, Tadakatsu thinks to himself. Chewing a pair of Motoboshi’s Extra Flavored bubble gum, he pops it into a quick bubble and grins once more.
Tadakatsu swung, eyes closed. Tadakatsu hears a loud WOOOSH but no POW! His heart sinks and he opens his eyes, to see the pitcher’s face expand in shock. He struck out…Tadakatsu Hatagami really struck out! Tadakatsu’s shoulders immediately slump down and he drops the bat, an overwhelming feeling of unbelievability going through him. How could he, Tadakatsu Hatagami, strike out?! Against such a puny wimp none of the less! Tadakatsu notices his teammates staring at him, they seemed as shocked as he felt, although that look was temporary, as it turned to a angry and disappointed glare that basically told him, “Nice, Tadakatsu. Way to go…loser.” Tadakatsu turns away from them and spits on the ground, unable to say a thing. He really struck out.
After that game, when everyone separated, Tadakatsu found the small boy who had struck him out, the only boy to have struck him out since the first year Tadakatsu played.
“Hey, hey!”
The short boy looks at him, shyly. “Huh?”
“You’re the first person to strike me out since I started playing my first year and I’m like in my third year now…what’s your name?”
The boy seems to calm down. “I’m Yuichiro. Yuichiro Takiguchi. I really just got lucky I think, I’m no good at sports, especially baseball.”
Tadakatsu shakes his head. “No, no way, man. Don’t say that, man…you struck me out, you’ve woken me up, I’m not a perfect batter and I really felt like I was. You’ve opened my eyes, Yuichiro. I’ve never seen you around before, are you new?”
Yuichiro nods. “Yeah, mom told me to get some exercise and make some friends so I tried coming out here. It was my first time really playing against anyone but my dad. Daddy played baseball when he was younger so he was also telling me to play baseball, he usually pitches with me but I’ve never pitched to him though.”
Tadakatsu’s jaw drops. “So, basically…that was your first time pitching?”
Yuichiro nods. “Other than the few other batters before you, yeah. I was pretty scared but nobody else wanted to pitch and Hanbei was tired of pitching, so they made me pitch.”
Tadakatsu nods. “Th-that’s awesome…hahaha…really, that is, man.”
Yuichiro laughs. “I don’t know, haha.”
Tadakatsu pats Yuichiro’s shoulder. “Hey, you need friends? Tadakatsu here has you covered, how about you come over to my place for dinner? I’ll tell my parents all about the game and what you did!”
Yuichiro responds with excitement; “Okay! I’ll have to ask mom though!”
Luckily for the two, Mrs. Reika Takiguchi had said yes. It started from that day and to the very moment Tadakatsu recalled it right at the Takiguchi residence. They had been friends ever since, the sport Tadakatsu loved so much contributing to how he met his best friend, just one more reason he obsessively loved the game of baseball. It brought an eternal bond of brotherhood both on and off the field.
Merry Christmas, My Friends!
December 25, 2008
Aki Maeda says Merry Christmas! ;P (yeah, I HAD to post that, hur hur hurrrr. :3)
Hey guys! Huxley, Justin, Zhao Ran, whatever you’d rather call me is actually making a blog post! (Yeah, I’ve been lazy updating this thing lately, sorry. :P) I just wanna say some stuff. ^_^
Despite being ill for the majority of this entire month and dealing with lots of school work early on, December’s been good overall. As I type this, I still feel pretty congested but I’m in good spirts, I’m very happy it’s Christmas Eve and I actually kinda prefer that to Christmas day itself, I’m not even sure why, it’s just usually more fun. I guess maybe the childhood thought of Santa making his epic trip across the world delivering presents is a reason why? Haha, and plus I spent plenty of X-mas eves at Syracuse, New York throughout most of my years. I do wish I could go down there for Christmas again and especially meet my newest cousin, who was born shortly after dad and I visited in November, her name’s Brooklyn.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
If you wanna see a video of me as Santa. It’s pretty odd. :P
Christmas is such a happy time for me really, it also reminds me of how lucky and blessed I am. I get nice gifts and have a lot of fun. At school, I participated at the Toy Drive for my school, one of the activites I did was being filmed in a “Christmas Rap” video to advertise for the school, haha. It was actually quite fun, it was me, two black kids, a redneck, and a Irish guy so it was obviously a heck of a group for a rap. One of the black dudes did the main part of the rap while the rest of us were on chorus shouting, “Toys, toys, everybody make some noise!” a couple of times. There was like 20 entries but ours ended up the top favorite of the entire school, haha….I guess I might have a career in rapping? The entire day that day I heard comments about being in that rap, lmfao.
So who received nice gifts? Hehe, I sure did! :)
