Buzz buzz buzz the vibrating of my phone woke me up at 6:00 am, ahhhh I yawn and stretch my arms out very far. I can barely function and think coherently from my long night of studying , work and just general college activities. They have kept me up far too long once again. But the early bird gets the worm! Or is it eats the worm? It's too early to think this deeply. I have been letting myself go lately so it's about time I get back to my regular schedule of workouts and school.
I can't wait to piss, it feels like my bladder might explode as usual. I drink a gallon of water before bed so every morning is like this. As per usual the door seems to be stuck so I groggily slam my shoulder against my bathroom door a few times to get it to open. I really lucked out being the 6'8 and 250 pound man that I am or otherwise who knows how long that would of taken me to do. My tiny apartment bathroom is a whopping 12x 12 feet and the only place that fit in my budget for school so it was either this place or be homeless. I quickly brush my teeth and get dressed for a quick morning run. It's just another day at Sunny EastDale University. Fully dressed in sweats I head out on my three Mile run. I'm in decently bad shape compared to what I use to be so it was hard but the weather was perfect and the sun just came over the horizon so it was quite enjoyable as well as beautiful seeing that yellow ball of sunshine peek over the horizon. Nothing like jogging around campus while listening to a good playlist to get your blood pumping and heart going for the day.
I finally finished my run in 0:26 min! All my hard work is paying off and it won't be more than a month or two until I'm back in shape. The end of my route was still a 15 min walk away from my apartment so I started to head back walking leisurely as a cool down.
About 5 min into the walk back and when I was at the edge of campus I ended up running into Tye Shin. Tye Shin is my 21 year old friend who is only a few inches smaller then me. He's a big Korean guy who I met at my gym while we were both taking a bunch of the martial art classes that they offered on sale to students as a packaged deal. He weighs in at about 215 pounds with blonde hair and he can always be seen in full sweats or basketball shorts because he's too lazy to dress appropriately unless we are going to a bar. The only reason he even "dresses up" then is because not many girls are receptive to a man at a bar in workout clothes and in Tye Shin's world dressing up is a pair of blue jeans followed by a comic book T-shirt or a band T-shirt.
Tye and I give our usual complicated greeting of fist bump, bring it back, hands up high, 2 handed high five, knuckle bumps and more for about 30 seconds before we end it in a bro hug.
"It's been such a long time since I have seen you Tye!!! How have you been man?"
"I have been doing pretty good man pretty busy with all my class work and gaming but it's nice to see you again."
Although we may not look it Tye and I are insanely large nerds and have a habit of not hanging out for a bit besides the gym from getting all wrapped up in fantasy novels, Sci Fi shows, manga, comics, cartoons , anime and video games and anything else that may catch our fancy.
After about 15 minutes of small talk Tye and I agree that we will meet up at 8:30 pm to play a relatively new massively multiplayer online role-playing game or MMORPG for short together. We lucked out and got a free month with the first expansion for just $8.00 and want to play as much as we can before it cost too much money for our broke student selves. When this usually happens we stop and move on to a new game. We have already played through Quest Of The Immortal Titans, Rings Of Our Lord, War Of The Gods, Fantasy Fate Online as well as a ton of Real Time Strategy games (RTS) like the entire Master & Conquest series and Demi-Devil wars.

To say the least we might be slightly addicted to video games and a bunch of other nerdy things but as long as we worked out and did our school work nobody could complain to us about it and we couldn't be happier with our lives.
After a quick shower and a change of clothes I spent all day in classes. 9:00- 11:00 am was Risk Analysisment 1:00-3:00 English 402, 3:45- 4:45 Economics 343, 5:00-6:00 Cyber Forensics. As a Cyber Analysis & Defense Major my classes have been getting more taxing every year.
Mentally exhausted I decided that I needed to be physically exhausted too and attended a plethora of martial art classes at the gym. Just some Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and boxing until 8. After rolling in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and getting knocked around a bit in boxing sparring I was a little beat up and covered in sweat so I ran from the gym to my apartment to shower before Tye and I met up for some quality gaming time.
I just stepped out of the shower when I hear Knock Knock Knock Knock "Open up motherfucker I came to game and get fucked up!!!'
I can't help but laugh and yell "hold on fucker some of us didn't skip out on the gym today!!!"
I grab some clean sweat pants and a T-shirt and open the door to see a eerily similarly dressed Tye holding a bag from the liquor store and a bulky looking backpack.
It's about time you let me in man! I'm dying to get started on this game. Yeah yeah Tye I'm sure it was hard waiting outside for 60 seconds I say and then softly chuckle.
We sit down on my couch and pull out our laptops, mouse's and connect the computers to the two 40 inch flat screens I have set up. They may not be the newest but they are a hell of a lot better then our tiny computer screens. While we wait for the game to start up Tye brings out a big bottle of Cinnamon whiskey along with a stack of red plastic cups.
"Let the games begin!!!" We cheer and start chugging the whiskey and start to pick our races in the game. I pick a dwarf because it's different from what I usually pick (badass bad/evil looking characters) and the class of Death Emperor.
Tye cracks up at my choice and shakes his head. "Since we are clearly picking the weirdest races we can I'm gonna pick
Demi-Panda because it's a giant fucking panda and who wouldn't like that?!?!?" He picked a Rogue class and starts to yell "IM A ROGUE FUCKING PANDA TITUS!!! BETTER WATCH OUT" while making corny hand chops and kung fu moves on my couch.
Bwahaha the floor laughing at his display of martial proneness. Tye proceeds to fill our cups up again. "We are going to need to finish this tonight Titus!!!" You don't have a choice he yells at me.
"You must have me confused with someone else I have no problem finishing it!!! My only real question is....do you think you can hang and handle this much whiskey little girl Tye?"
We cheers again and let the games begin in earnest.
