3 am and I wanna go to bed

To eliminate the ridiculous long blog posts of a combination of 3 or 4 days, I figured I would try my best to try to write every day or at least every other day when I know there is much to do talk about.  Tonight, can be considered one of those nights.  Tonight, well, technically yesterday night since it is 3 am, was another eventful night.  I was hungover from the night before so I pretty much laid around and watched Heroes (illegally) over the web for 5 hours straight.  When it came to dinner time, my aunt wanted to treat me to an all-you-can-eat japanese restaurant....sweet:) The restaurant was not a buffet style but rather, a order as you go type of system.  I had everything imaginable in the japanese cuisine menu.  I held back a bit this time since I know I was gonna get a little wild afterwards and wanted to save room.

When the meal was over, I went to home to take a power nap which lasted 3 hours before getting up to get ready to go out.  It was about 11:45pm when I went out the door.  40 minutes of transportation took me back to LKF (where I was last night).  I approached the club that I am supposedly to be at, and I noticed a line all the way around the corner (probably 200 people).  I was not too worried since it was my cousin's party and I figured I would get the royal treatment...I was wrong of course.  While my older cousin (the boss) was partying it up upstairs, his younger brother (still my older cousin) was trying to manage the downstairs chaos.  Being closer to the the younger brother, i went to him for help.  It nearly took him 25 minutes to get me in (25 minutes in 85 degree weather does not go well in a dress shirt).  I did eventually skp the line of hundreds and got in. 

There, the fun didn't start.  The place was packed (I would say take the "library" in minnesota and times it by 2).  Usually at something like this, I am did not expect to be digging in to my wallet due to the circumstances, but I figured this was kinda of ridiculous.  I ran into my other cousin whom I've not seen in probably 4 years.  I offered to buy and that was the last time I bought anything.  Two shots of absolute vodka ("rail vodka") came to a total of $20 dollars.  Luckily, tipping is not expected.  Then, the all-mighty famous rapper "Jin" came on stage.  Oh wait, that was before the police raid of the place, checking ids and such which lasted nearly 45 minutes. During this "raid", everyone is required to sit and not speak...totally buzz kill if you had a buzz.  In the meantime, I found the party host's table and had as much free booze as I could find.  But yeah, eventually, the rap started.  It was in chinese! hahahhah, the guy is ABC (American born chinese) and acted much like an American.  But he was rapping in Chinese.  And being a person who does not like rap in general, Chinese rap goes one step below every American rapper I've heard.  There is no doubt he is a great Chinese rapper due to the van base I saw, but wow, what a joke.  That was my queue to leave, I was not really enjoying my time.  It was way too loud to talk, wasn't much dancing going on (just bouncing up and down), and I couldn't get drunk enough due to the price.  If you have ever since 8 Mile with Eminem, the atmosphere was kinda like that battle scene where the rapper was on stage and everyone was bouncing up and down (only it was in a a nice air conditioned high rise. 

Chinese rap is really not my thing and having to pay too much to get drunk is also not my thing.  So a relatively cheap $12 dollar taxi ride led me back home, typing this.  I hope for a better night tomorrow, the family is having a little potluck party and perhaps i will hit up LKF with a better approach.  We will see....
