This day could not be any more frustrating… It is currently 2:25am when I began writing this… I went to sleep fairly early because there is not one single tv channel that shows anything in English…. AND my internet is not working… (Story of my life!)

The day started off promising… We were moving into our new UPGRADED luxurious hotel… My team manager finally figured out us 2 American’s did not like the only food that was being provided so he was going to start giving us money to find food on our own… Life was starting to sound pretty exciting!! So I thought…

Earlier in the day our coach pulled both American’s out of weight training to go over some things… He first wanted to tell us what great of a job we have been doing… The players are looking up to us and are working extremely hard because we do so… I was pleased because these clowns have never seen a hard working day in their LIFE! And their bodies are proof! He then told us when we would be moving… AFTER they go and purchase a computer for Wayne… So no more sharing… WOO HOOOO!!! Finally he told us our manager finally agreed to give us the money for food instead of paying for us to eat in the cafeteria after practices… I was too geeked about that! The food they eat is sooo disgusting and cooked far from properly!

So after weights… I head back to the hotel to pack… I have a great conversation with my friend “B” about life and I am feeling pretty good… Its finally time to make the move… I am so anxious and ready because they have been hyping this new hotel like Greg Oden coming out of college… Lol… So you already know I was thinking BIG SHIT!!!

NOT!!!! We pull up… I am like… WTF?!?!?! It again is a ran down older looking hotel… But I give the outside the “bennie of the D” not judging a book by its cover… We walk inside and it looks a little better… One thing I have realized  about China, the more English you see on signs… The better… And I can read EVERYTHING!

Well umm… FUCK THAT THEORY!!!! This shit sucks!!! The room is a LITTLE bit bigger… The bathroom has a tub…. BUT THAT IS IT!!!! Nothing nice about this hotel… AND ON TOP OF THAT… THEY CAN’T GET MY INTERNET TO WORK!!!!! Something about an IP Address isn’t matching up…. But my computer automatically detects IP Addresses so I am thinking the problem is on their end, NOT MINE!

So the place I am guaranteed to be staying for a while… The LAST PLACE IN CHINE I RESIDE… My internet wants to act up! SUCKS!!!! Frustration level is about as high as your local area Crackhead…

So we go to practice… I again… Take my frustrations out on these lil dudes.. They can’t come close to guarding me… I feel like I am playing at Northland HS’s open gym all over again… Scoring when I want, how I want, on whoever is on me… After practice… We head to Pizza Hut… WOOO HOOOO!!!

When we get to Pizza Hut I order the Cheese Pizza with a side of wings… No complaints there… So that was that…

I get back to my room.. Fiddle with the net.. NO GO! Oh well… I shower and call it a night…. ONLY TO WAKE UP TO THEM DOING FULL BLOWN CONSTRUCTION AT 1 FUCKING 45 IN THE FUCKING NIGHT!!!!

I am talking about Metal clinging… Hammer bashing… Steel banging…. CONSTRUCTION!!!! WTF??!?!?!? I swear I did not sign up for this shit… This shit is sooo loud… I get startled sometimes… And I am wide THE FUCK awake!!! I can’t shut my window… Cause the damn air isn’t working… I am pissed…. If they do this every night… I might never sleep!

So yeah… I wake up… I got some left over pizza… So I take a few bites… And then realize… I have no drinks in my room… So I go downstairs to the front desk… To purchase a few bottled waters… They “can’t sell me” I ask them “Why no sell me?” they say… “Too late boss will be angry me!” AHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What the FUCK?!?!?! Since when would a boss get angry about a sale being made?!?! Lazy ass bitch!!! I swear… People are not going to like me out here… I am about to start being an asshole to everyone!!! I already put my shirt over my nose when anyone is near talking… I can’t take that shit! I never smile… I am always off to myself during down time… These punk ass people I am dealing with are making me HATE CHINESE PEOPLE!!! I feel like fucking River Watch Tower all over again…

So yeah… I have no idea WHEN I will be posting this… Because I have no net access… They told me they would hire some professional to figure out my situation… But I am not holding my breath… Unless he gets in my face to talk… The ups (Not so much) and the DOWNS of “The Life” yall…. Holla!

***UPDATE!!***

This blog entry was written about 11 hours since then I have gotten back on the net (Obviously) and am enjoying myself again… Until the next time…. “The Life” yall… Back on TOP!!

So we had the draft on the 18^th… You are probably now figuring out the reason why this post is titled “Lucky Number 7”! Ya boy was the 7^th pick in the 2010 NBL Draft!!! Get on my level Evan!!! Lmao… Anyways… I was the 1^st wing guard selected, AND 1 of 4 guards selected in the 1^st round! Most teams followed the format and grabbed bigs… I was a little shocked I went so high… There were about 7 or 8 legit bigs, so no complaints at all!! God is sooo good, and I give all praise and thanks to him! He put me in the position and gave me the strength and talent to make it happen!

This is a big turnaround in my life!!! Since my pro career has started… The decisions that I have made, have seem like the right ones at the time… But for some reason or another have not worked out in my favor… Me leaving Nogales and Fuerza Guinda was indeed a tough decision… One of the hardest… But I did… and I absolutely made the right decision! For the next few months I will be playing in a country just about anyone who DOES NOT play in the NBA wants to play in… The top league (CBA) scouts will be at several of my games which means I am well on my way to getting offers from them… When I met with my agent last summer when I made the switch… I told him “All you gotta do is get me there… I will do the rest! Just get me in front of someone… I GOT IT!!” And that’s what he did, SO THAT’S WHAT I AM GOING TO DO!!!

Side note for you Buckeye fans…. T Dials went 2^nd in the draft… He would have went 1^st but he hurt his ankle the 2^nd day into the draft process and really didn’t get to show how consistently he would MURDER these fools out here… But he is on his Durantula out here… Lol…

So yeah… 7^th pick! As soon as the selection process was over… We met with our new employers along with our agent’s connecting agents out here to discuss salaries, bonuses, and perks…. I am happy with what I am making… First time I am “Satisfied” (BUT NEVER CONTENT) with what I am making in a few years…. So at the end of the meeting… They tell the interpreter to tell me we are leaving at 2pm… IT WAS 12:53!!! I said “Well damn!” let me get going then…

When I got back to the room.. I gathered my things and packed it all up… It was kind of bitter sweet cause it was the end  of the 06 reunion with TD and I… Him and I get along the best 2 grown men in 1 room will ever get along… Of course he got on my nerves at times… As I did his… But we at least understood when to leave each other the hell alone! Now it’s gonna be some clown ass dude who doesn’t know when to shut up… So we had our crybaby ass moments… and that was that! BOO HOOO!!

FAST FORWARD…. We were on the FUCKING plane for 3 hours before we took off!!! I guess there is no rules or regulations that make them let us get off the plane… I was pissed!!!!

So we have been in Beijing the past few days… We are here til the 23^rd… We are playing pre season games… I am getting to know my teammates although don’t none of these fools speak a lick of English! Our temp. interpreter knows “Very Little” English… So me and the other American Wayne has been lost to say the least… We just go with the flow… I must say though… He is a pro’s pro! He works hard, focuses in practice settings and he wants to win!!! He is a Cap’t though! He was using my lap top to skype with his people back home… MAN!!! Why is every nigga a saver/cuffer?!?! Oh well… That’s his problem come judgment day… Not mine! Judgment day meaning when his jump-off realizes every single thing they had, and every single thing he told her wasn’t nothing but lies… I am sure she’ll understand…. NOT! Clown!!!

So yeah… Some observations about China and it’s people…

THEY CANNOT DRIVE!!! And I see why that is a stereotype in the states… BECAUSE THEY CAN’T!!! I have seen some SHIT out here… Its nuts!!! I mean… Even people on Bike’s act like they got all the air bags a Buick does… SMH…. Yall don’t feel me!

Food.. Umm… There has been 2 CHICKEN HEADS FOUND IN THE CHICKEN GRAVY STEW… Needless to say…. Ya boy is eating fruits vegetables and Fried Rice… THAT’S IT!!! HEADS?!?!?! Like with the Rooster Mohawk attached and EVERYTHING!!!

Speaking of food… They eat soooooo nastily!!!! Smackin’, Spittin’, the whole 9 yards and then some!!! Just listening to them eat will make your stomach turn… I can’t even lie… I sit by myself because I can’t take watching and listening…

The Chinese culture is sooooooo Feminine based!!! The men are sooooo touchy feely!!! All week my teammates have been touching and grabbing my tattoos like they are pets… And I got some on my chest… Back… arms… LEGS!!! WTF Bong?!?! Get your hands off me Yao!!! FUCK!!!!

So yeah… Enough about the bad… The city I will be in when we leave Beijing will be nice! Harbin, China is what it’s called… And it’s known as the “Paris” of China… It is right on the border of Russia so it’s almost like living in Russia… I am kind of excited about that! (LOL) Only thing is… It’s very cold there… My punk ass agent told me to pack for summer…. All I got is one hoodie… A couple pair of jeans… and some sweats… NO COAT! But I am sure they will provide… I am not worried…. I am anxious to get there to actually see what its like… I will let yall know… I am finna be out though… We gotta game vs Anthony Peeler’s squad… Remember him? Played in the league with the Lakers and the Timberwolves?! He is a straight up NUT!!! But he’s cool… Until next time people…. “The Life” is a little different than what I am used to… But please believe I am getting adjusted! And I am in it to WIN it!!! Yuuuup!

Yooo!!  What’s good people?!?! Sorry I haven’t blogged in a while… Its been a busy NON STOP several days… And a whole bunch has taken place… Let me get yall up to date!!! STRAIGHT CRAZINESS!!!

Well… Last time I blogged… I was playing for The “Fuerza Guinda” in Nogales, Mexico… I was contemplating leaving and taking a job in China but wasn’t sure if my passport renewal would allow that to happen… Cause I had to be in China pretty quickly to be elgible to play in the league…. Well I decided to go for it… And just try and Expedite my passport and get the proper paper work documented in order to play in China… After several websites, and about 400 dollars spent online trying to get that done… The DAY BEFORE I AM LEAVING MEXICO… I receive an email from the US Consulates office in Nogales, Mexico that my passport was indeed ready to be picked up! Lol… So I did all that online spending for NOTTA!! I was SUPER SALTY!!! I called all the Customer Service numbers to try and get my money back NAAN!!! They weren’t effin with me!! Oh well… I biddounced outta Mexico and went home…

Once I got home… I had to send off my passport along with a Visa application to some lady in Texas who was then gonna get me my Chinese Work Permitting Visa so that I could not only enter the Republic of China, but that I could also work there… (Work for me if you hadn’t guessed is the game I love to play… It’s called BASKETBALL!!! Curtis Blow made a song about it?!?!)

So I filled out the Application.. I had 2 Passport photos left over from when I renewed my passport… And I signed another copy of the Application JUSTIN CASEß(My Hero Justin!!!) I filled it out incorrectly or some things needed to be changed… and overnighted that Biotch!!!!!

I am assuming I did things right cause ummm a raaaa…… I GOT MY VISA AND PASSPORT IN THE MAIL 2 DAYS LATER!!!! WHOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I immediately call my agent and tell him the Good news… He told me I’d be S.O.L. the day AFTER I left Mexico because my documents wouldn’t make the league’s office front desk in time for them to issue me a plane ticket… So for a while… I was thinking I made the wrong decision leaving Mexico… Leaving a job fellas before you have another one isn’t a good look… But I am always goodlooking so it all worked for me… NOT!!!

The day before we are to leave… Thursday the 6^th was my son’s Grandfather’s birthday… He passed about a year and a half ago to a 7^th month battle with cancer… We miss David sooo much!! We visited his memorial at the church he attended  and we all went to dinner… This whole time I am sposed to be enjoying family… I am stressin because I have YET to receive my itinerary for tomorrow’s journey! My bestfriend/college teammate T Dials who is making the same trip and who is quite frankly partly responsible for this opportunity for me already received confirmation that he was leaving… But I received no such thing… So ofcourse  I am trippin!!! After dinner… I kiss my mother goodbye shake my dad’s hand… And hug him… (Soft I know!) and dap up my lil bro.. Deah Sully… And tell them hopefully I don’t see you guys anymore… My mom says “Aww HUSH! Everything is going to work out!” Well….. Ummm…..

In the car my phone rings… I don’t answer because I didn’t hear it… Oops!! But it was my agent… As soon as I get home… I immediately call him back… Gian tells me he has good news… and bad news… And asks me what I want to hear first… I said hit me with the bad news… He tells me the league didn’t purchase my ticket because like he said… They weren’t issued my visa paper work in time… But the good news was he bought it and that I was leaving tomorrow at 1:30pm!! YES!!!!!

NOOOO!!!!!! Roey immediately starts to cry and says he doesn’t want me to leave!!! Ofcourse there is a snowball effect and Tookie starts doing the same… People… There are a million and one perks to my job… I get to see the world for free! NO SCRATCH THAT… They PAY ME to see the world… I have a KICK ASS TIME DOING IT!!! But the look on my children’s faces when they know Daddy won’t be here tomorrow makes me absolutely sick to my stomach!! It is by far the worst feeling in the whole entire world!!! And it doesn’t ever get any easier!!! With Whitney being in Law School… They almost never get to come to see where I am… and it pains me to no end!!! Every single time I contemplate giving up the game to stay with them… And this time was no different!

After I laid with Roey as he cried himself to sleep… I kissed Tookie goodnight and went to my room to cry myself to sleep… This feeling sucks BUTT!!! And yes I get super duper emotional every single time… I text different people and try to get their prospective… And for the most part they are right on the money…. “Use the game of basketball as a hustle… Get in and get out to better your family’s life! But never stop preparing for life after basketball!” Thank you! The truth is… No one can pay me the money I make playing ball… No one! And the other truth is… I will not be capable of doing this forever… So I must do it while I can… While my children are young… To make sure our lives are the way they need to be later… Its very important and it’s a sacrifice I have to make… Its just that simple!

So yeah… The next day… Whitney had a final early so she bounced… Jalen rides to school with his TuTu… So I said goodbye to him… Just Tookie and I… She watched  Noggin while I finalized my packing… SUPER BAD TERRIBLE NO GOOD IDEA!!!! Tookie the WHOLE TIME FIGURED “ Shiit… Everyone is gone.. Daddy’s packin… He’s going to China today… I am the only one here… I must be goin?!?!” Umm… Needless to say when I dropped her off at Ms. Monica’s she threw a fit!!! “I wanna go to CHINAAAAA!!!!!!!” She said that maaaaybe about 87 times… I love you Tookie!!!!

To the airport I go… 1:30pm flight… I check in at 12:30… Whitney is there to see me off… She starts to cry… I cry in the song… Song Cry! Can’t let her see me cry… But I was emotional!!! I give her 2 Mother’s Day cards… (The Gifts are inside one of them…) and I pass thru security… I am on time… Not feeling my best… But feeling like I am ready to take on China! Ummm….

Chicago was fucking shit up !!! And that’s an understatement!! Wind and Thunderstorms was preventing anyone to fly into or leave Chicago all morning… So flights were backed up 3 hours minimum… We were on the runway twice! (That new rule doesn’t allow you to just sit on the runway.. So we had to get off… JUST TO GET BACK ON!!!) It takes an hour and some change to get to Chi Town from C-Bus… I didn’t get there til 6:30 LOCAL TIME!!! 7:30 C-Bus time!!! CRAZINESS!!! When I finally did get to Chicago… I immediately jump ship to Garrett’s Popcorn to get that good Chicago Mix!!! WHEW!!! It was sooo good… I went back and blamed it on my non existent friend wanted some of her own… Lol… Oops!!! I then went looking for my gate… As I was walking… I see mass people taking pictures of out the window… So I go to see what all the fuss was about…  And I had no idea what was going to happen next…

Police cars… Unmarked Government vehicles… Mass important people just standing around outside and NO PLANES but 1 is moving… Its not a commercial plane… But a USA one… I ask someone whats going on thinking Obama was coming home or some shit… And I was sad to find out a Fallen Soldier was coming home… A big ass rush of emotions rushed my ass!! That shit was sad!!! I wasn’t ready for that at all!!! For that 1 split second I hated about all the complaining I did today simply because that man died in order for me to be able to do whatever it was I was setting out to do that day, and everyday for that matter!!! I was pissed off at myself for being mad about anything… He died for ME! FOR US!! FOR AMERICA!! And we complain about stupid shit like not being allowed to text and drive… WHO THE FUCK CARES?!?!?!?!

The fallen soldier was given a ceremony outside and it shut down the whole entire O’Hare airport… As it should… I am sorry but ofcourse you have your idiots complaining about that because they are going to miss their connections to go on vacation… FUCK YOUR VACATION!!! That man died for you to be able to go on vacation!!! People are stupid!!!

I finally get to LA… And I am hustling trying to get to the Int’l part of LAX to check in to get to Hong Kong… I make it with little time to spare so I knew what that meant… My bags surely didn’t! FUCK!!!

I take 2 Advil PMs sit back eat my popcorn and fall asleep… The plane wasn’t as packed as I expected so shit… I could spread out without being in First Class… My agent could have made it First Class though… He would have for Leon… Punk ass nigga!!! I wake up with 4 hours left in a 14 hour flight… Not bad for me who cant stay sleep past 5 hours EVER!!! I had my own personal screen so I jumped thru some 30 Rock and watched “Up in The Air” with George Clooney… Great movie!!! He was weak as fuck for going to see ol girl at her crib though… Ofcourse she had a family dumb ass!!! Yall live “The Life” too!!! Cant catch feelings on the road man… That’s the number 1 rule!!!

I get to HK.. ZZZzzzzzz….. I have a 6 hour layover… I tweet til my computer dies… Check my email… Tell my fam I made it and then just chilled… HK to Beijing… Easy flight… I listen to some C.O.B. and some Jay… My 2 favorite things to listen to… and zone out… When I get to Beijing… Lol… The shit picked up!

Like I said… My bags didn’t make the LA to HK flight so I was not surprised when they didn’t get to Beijing… They gave me a paper and told me to come back… I had one more flight so it wasn’t a problem.. I walk out thru customs with no luggage… MASSSSSSSS PEOPLE out there with signs… So I am looking for my name… Lol… Dude had NO SIGN… I forgot… My black ass stands out like a sore thumb! He walked up to me and says… “Hey Hey Hullingsure!?!” I said back “ JJ Sullinger?” he then said “Hhheyah! We ho heat humething!” This dude takes me to McDonalds… Of course he thought I was like every other American Ball Player who ONLY eats shit he can eat in his backyard… But since I couldn’t understand him, and he couldn’t understand me… I went with it… Ordered a chicken sandwich and some fries with an Orange Juice… From my times in the Philippines… I remembered portions and drinks are small as FUCK!!! So I ordered 3 OJ’s.. Lol… He was a little heated but oh well… Fuck you man I am thirsty!!! After we eat… He tries his best to explain to me my flight isn’t leaving for several hours and that there are lounges with showers and beds you can pay for by the hour he was gonna get me one… HAD I KNOWN THAT I WOULDA BEEN AT SOMETHING TO JOIN ME!!! Lmao!!! I go shower and chill… And wait til its time to pick up my luggage… As I am chillin… I cant help but to think about how many people cop these joints to get it INNNNNNNNN before they part their separate ways!!! I know I would all the time!!! Shiiit… That shit was hot!!! I might try and open one up in Columbus… Its connected to the hotel… You don’t even have to go outside… It was nuts!!!

I grab my luggage and then wait for dude… This time I know who I am looking for but shiiiiit…. You try finding a Chinese Man in a Chinese Airport!!! Like trying to find Waldo amongst a million Waldos!!!! I finally just stand in front of McDonalds… BAD IDEA!!! Homie thought I enjoyed that shit so much… I wanted it again… NAAN!!!! So we ate that BS again….

FAST FORWARD!!! I make it to my final desty!!! I knock on room 1201… Terence Jerome Dials answers the door… Lmao…. Just like old times back at O State… Back with my homie!  During the Pre Draft process… Tee and I are not only rooming together… But we are on the same team! It’s always easier to go thru a transitional period in a different country with someone you know from home…. I have been very lucky to have had people always with me…. Shaun Fountain in Poland…. Ron Lewis in Belgium… Tony Stockman my first time in Mexico… Tee being out here is no different…

FAST FORWARD!!! I plug in my computer… Ready to Tweet and Blog away…. NO ACCESS!!! China regulates Social Networks due to constant scrutiny and criticism toward the Chinese Government..  So they cut out the voice by not allowing people to say it to the masses… I WAS PISSED!!!!! I was immediately ready to turn right back around and go home!!

So the reason why I am here…. HOOPS!!! I am BALLIN!!! The first game I went in for like 30! Tee went for like 20…. We were the 1-2 punch! Crowd favorites and all that!!! I immediately put myself in position to get drafted in the 1^st round, which obviously is a great thing! That means better opportunity, more money… I am feeling so blessed and happy these days…

Feeling so great, you would think I have no complaints… NOT!!! C’mon… This is Jay Sully! You know something ain’t right out here according to me!! MAN!!! Where do I begin?!?!

How about this… Chinese women are NOT fun to look at… I know I am not out here for nothing like that… BUT SHIT!!! It doesn’t hurt to look does it?!?! Well umm… These women do NOT believe in pedicures, OR brushing their teeth!!! I mean… It is fucking ridiculous!!! No ass… No titties… NO SHAPE AT ALL!!! Tookie has more ass than these women out here… EWW!!!!

As far as the culture is concerned… I don’t mind the looks and the stares I get… I love being the center of attention if you hadn’t noticed… So umm… YUUUP!!! But umm… Grabbing me and touching me like I am an art exhibit is NOT the business!!! Tee and I went walking around… I can’t tell you how many people who just came up and grabbed me as if they were trying to figure out if we were real or not… Lol… Like do they touch Dog Shit to see if it is indeed what it is?!?! I don’t think so! SO WHY THE FUCK YOU GRABBING ME?!?! YES I AM A REAL LIVE BLACK MAN!!!! SO WHAT?!?!?!

Another thing that bothers me… A LOT is their complete disregard for the concept of “Personal Space”… Man it is BOGUS!!! If you are standing in line for anything… Please be ready for them to be RIGHT ON YOUR ASS if they are behind you…. Like they trying to take your booty or something?!?! Oh and don’t give space to the person you are behind… The person behind you will straight cut you in line like you weren’t even standing there… I hate this shit so much!!! And in this lifestyle for whatever reason….. I find myself always standing in some kind of line or another… So this is something I deal with on a daily basis… AHHH!!!! It drives me insane!!! But shit….. If that’s the worst thing going on… I am cool I guess…

We got some clowns out here FOR SURE!!! I mean… Some niggas don’t belong out of their house…. Let alone the country! Wheew!!! And their knowledge for the game?!?!  Don’t even get me started… These fuck niggas are out here… OC!!! “Out of Control” for you first timers… It kind of upsets me because I can think about the times when I was out of jobs and opportunities thinking when my day would come… I can’t help but think it was these dummies (Yeah Stac… DUMMIES) getting in my way… Who have absolutely NO business calling themselves Professional Ball Players… Being able to do any dunk in warm ups does not make you a legit baller.. And that is sadly the only pride they take in some of their games… But oh well… Now that I am out here with them… It is just making me look better… And I am capitalizing on it every single day! I am indeed bragging! I am KILLIN THESE NIGGAS OUT HERE… AND I AM HAVING FUN DOING IT!!!!

Until next time yall…. I will holla back! I know this one was long… But don’t worry… I will be updating more often now that I got this 3^rd party website that allows me to get on Tumblr, Twitter, and Facebook and all the other sites China outlaws… SHHH!!! Don’t tell China… I could go to jail! Lmao… OUTLAW!!!!! I feel like Tupac or some shit… Anyways…. “The Life” baby!!!!!!

It is currently 2:45am EST when I started this entry…. No tellin when I will be finished because I have a lot to say… But at the same time… I don’t know how much in depth I wanna go… This is going to be sooooooo Random because I find myself thinking about a lot of shit…. Fair warning… There is going to be a lot of “Bad words” in this entry… Some from me… Some from others…. You’ll see IF you keep reading… Staci… I really hope this suits your expectations… But if it doesn’t… Lol… I really don’t care… Excuse me if you think that’s rude of me… Lol

So we lost today… It happens… As long as I keep playing the game of basketball… I will keep losing… It’s a part of sport… And at an early age you are always taught “You win some, you lose some…” My father always taught me at a VERY early age to win with class… And to also lose with class… I don’t think he would have been proud of me today…. I am so disappointed in myself… But I was clearly provoked!!! Keep reading…

We (I included) just didn’t have it today…. 4 games a week, 40 minutes a game… ON TOP of the Refs allowing each and every team to beat me to exhaustion night in and night out… I just was tired… We had a 3 hour bus trip the DAY OF, along with a sprained ankle off my “Push off” foot… and a nagging “Shooting” wrist injury… I was already about 67% at jump ball…. The team we played isn’t the greatest but they have some good Mexicans… That’s huge in a league where only 2 International players are allowed… If I did the math right now… Our Mexicans are probably responsible for MAYBE 50% of our scoring… Which means yes… The other American and myself is responsible for the other 50! 4 times a week at that! Needless to say… If I am not 200% at the start of the game we are in for a long night…

SAYING ALL THAT…. WE WERE STILL IN THE GAME TIL THE END!!!!!

As we are making a run in the 4^th…. Ofcourse the Refs get in the middle… These refs are more inconsistent than the PBA (Philippines) refs… And I thought that absolutely impossible… These refs flat out SUCK and they have it out for us every single time!!! Its fucking INSANE how much we get screwed by them… I mean….. FUCKING INSANE!!!! AHHHHHH!!!!! Missed call after missed call on 1 end… But then on the other… Phantom calls are made on us…. It drives me up the wall and leaves me WIDE OPEN to injury… Those of you know my style of play know I am not one to shy away from contact…. As of a matter of fact… I can’t play without it… I am no Allen Iverson shake and bake type guy.. I go thru people! Lol… Well here…. They clobber me! And no foul is EVER CALLED IN THE 4^TH! So needless to say the ref gives me the “I didn’t see it gesture” and I get angry… Same ol story… I am passed all that! But then…

I go up for a rebound… I don’t get it… The big 7 foot Mexican on their team does…. He leaves the ball naked as he looks to outlet the ball… So I swiped at the ball… Nothing out of the ordinary… I fouled him… No doubt but it was a play on the ball, and nothing close to being dirty or intentional… I just simply missed the ball… The refs to no surprise (Well actually it was a surprise cause it was me committing the foul not them) miss the call…. The guy shoves me off him… I then give him a look as if to say “C’mon man… Its basketball… You’re gonna get fouled… Are you gonna be okay lil homie??!” I then turn my back and run down the court… Umm…. He THEN PUNCHES ME IN THE SIDE OF THE NECK!!!!

WHAT THE FUCK?!?!?!

“WHO THE FUCK DO YOU THINK YOU ARE BITCHASS FAT ASS MOTHERFUCKER?!?!” BAM!!!! Decked him in the mouth!!! Yep…. I punched him back… I totally lost my cool…. Its something I am still upset with myself for doing… I totally lost my cool and did something I have NEVER done on the basketball court… I am not gonna lie… Felt good as fuck though…. But BAM! EJECTED!!! Of course nothing happened to him… As words were exchanged.. I was not only called a “Bitch” I was told to “Go back to Africa you fucking Nigger” amongst other things…

All my life words have meant nothing to me… Mainly because I can cause way more harm with words than anyone else can… My tongue is sharp as fuck… Ask James Todd “Satch” Sullinger, Sr., Julian Daniel Augustus Sullinger, or Barbara Adrienne Smith Sullinger… Hell… Ask Whitney!!! I am nasty as fuck with words so I have never ever gotten hurt by them…. But putting your hands on me is absolutely unacceptable… I am grown, I am a parent… Who the FUCK are you to put your hands on me?!?! So I snapped… Ooops!!!

After the game.. As I am walking out… I see the big 7 ft fat ass so I walk towards him… People start backing away like I was gonna swing… His back was turned to me… So I could have easily blindsided him… But that’s some Bitch shit… I aint no bitch! So I walk around so that he sees me… Give him time to make a move if he wants…. He smiles… So I reach out my hand to shake his… He accepts the hand shake… I pull him close and I say… “You fat FUCK! If you ever put your motherfucking hands on me again.. I swear on my life and yours I will whoop your motherfucking ass!!! Good game!” I then let go and  I wait for him again to do something… I knew he didn’t want it, so I walked away… As I turn my back… He then again goes to his bread and butter “Go back to Africa” chant… Then he says “I will put my hands on you again, whenever I want!” I then turn back around and told him to do it… When he didn’t.. I just let it be… I said what needed to be said… I was hoping he got bold and flinched at me… It woulda been then he would have immediately been put to sleep by a left hook… 1 hitter quitter for sure!!!!

The nerve of some people… I would never  ever think to say something racist to someone … Especially on  a basketball court… But it happens all the time! What pisses me off is after we get back on the bus… All my teammates decide to tell me he is known for making them kind of comments… They could have prepped me… But then again…. That would have done no good because he punched me before he said any of those things… When he punched me… I absolutely lost total control… That’s exactly why I will never EVER own a gun… Because in a situation such as this…. Id be in jail for murder… Thinking to myself.. “Damn Jay… Did you really have to kill him?!” HELL NOOOO!!!! I wonder how many people are in jail right now for this exact reason?!?! Crazy!!! None the less… I am a lucky motherfucker… Cause I just got suspended for 2 games… And they might take that away IF I play in the All Star game… LMAO!! FMLLLL!!!!! I was sposed to go to Phoenix for the weekend with a teammate to kick it…. I am sooooooooooooooooooooo salty!!! I was out of it and everything… And then this… Oh well…. “Becoming a part of something bigger than yourself” is the biggest part of living “The Life”… Now I can still miss the All Star game… BUT I get this suspension.. And as you read earlier… My team stands no chance without me… So I will probably be attending the All Star game and NOT Scottsdale, Arizona!! Damn…. Have a drink for me out there yall!!!

It isn’t uncommon for Americans to converse about shit during games… You see Kobe, Melo,  Bron, D Wade doing it all the time… But its different Overseas… Why they are prolly talking about the latest car they just copped, or the hottest watch out right now… We talk about how much we hate our coach, or how bad the hotel food sucks, or just simply how miserable life is away from family and friends… With an occasional “Whats the bitches like in your city?!” Lmao.. Anyways… Dude decided to ask me “Has anyone ever told you, you look like Eddie House?!” NIGGA PLEASE!?! Fuck outta here!!! So needless to say… I cut the forest that was growing on my face… I didn’t realize how much weight I have lost… My face looks sooooo skinny!!! I need a baked potato!!!

I am sooo pissed about this All Star game situation…. Just more evidence they treat us like fucking cattle out here… I am hurt!!! I need some fucking rest! But they are gonna bribe me into playing… I hate this shit!!! All they gotta do is look at the fuckin tape! But no surprise the team won’t let it go… I mean…. Doesn’t that kind of like prove fat asses guilt?!?! Man… Give me 3 minutes in the Octagon with dude… Id whoop his ass!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But that’ll never happen… Just let it go Jay…

Well we made the food mart (Oxxo) run… On our way back to Nogales… 14 hour bus ride… Shit sucks BUTT!!! But I I got these sleeping pills… So I am finna be OUT!! Until the next time yall.. This is “The Life”!!!

Ok… So I am poppin’ my cherry here! First blog ever on Tumblr… I used to write notes on Facebook called “The QoTW” (The Question of The Week” and I would write about that weeks events… But the questions I used to ask were sooo controversial, that people paid little attention to my life… I look forward to tellin yall about my completely BORING ASS LIFE HERE IN MEXICO!!! That’s right.. For you newbies who don’t follow me on Twitter (@MrOH1O) I am ballin in Mexico… Let me rephrase that…. Slavin in Mexico! I do nothing but work work work… Not really my thang but hey… Its payin them bills!!! SO FUCK IT!!! I feel as if I have to let yall know this upfront… I CURSE A LOT!!! I talk about things you prolly wouldn’t want your kids to know… And I am pretty a big deal… YEP! So umm…. Yeah…. MEXICO… Scared the FUCK STRAIGHT!!! This Drug war out here is nuts and you can’t go anywhere without hearing about it… Just last week some “Informant” was gunned down by 2 youngins with Machine Guns… IN THE WEIGHT ROOM I LIFT AT!!! Luckily I wasn’t there… AND they only shot him up… But DIDDAMN!!!! That’s waaaaaaay too close to home… So yeah… I do NOTHING OUT HERE!!! I go to the gym, BACK to the room… I eat sleep, shit… Play ball… And Tweet…. Lol… Now I can Tumble!!! <—- Was that tumblr. savvy?!?! Yall gotta excuse me if I do this wrong cause umm… Im not gonna change… Im finna do it my way!! (Usher voice!)

Ok ok… So yeah… I don’t do shit out here… The All Star game is this upcoming weekend… I am telling them NOW I am NOT playing and I am taking my ass to Phoenix!!! Fuck you pay me!!! Lol… All Star games in anything other than the NBA are a complete waste of time… Fans don’t give a fuck and they don’t pass… We play 4 games a week out here… So that would just be 5… For you idiots… There are 7 days in a week… 5 games in one is a lot! SO IS 4!!!! Especially when you are 1 of 2 Americans…. who is responsible for winningscoringreboundingplayingdefenseonthebestplayerleading
