FRIDAY NIGHT [OT2] - Official NeoGAF Weekend Kickoff REDUX

Well that was a weird night..

Popped out earlier to grab some stuff, go out into the back garages and notice a huddle of people at the top of the hill. Didn't think much of it, people always gather around the back here when saying goodbye at weekends, so I get in the car..

Come back twenty minutes later, old bill are here, people still huddled together. I go into mine, dump the stuff down and go back out, I'm a nosey bastard and if anythings happend round my area like a break in I want to know..

So I go up to the group, consisting of two blokes, a woman and and old lady on a scooter "Whats happend then?"

"E's been knocking her about"

"Oh, right, who?"

After a few minutes it transpired a bloke three doors up from me had smacked his 16 year old daughter about and his wife, they struck back, hit him with an air fryer. Cops showed up, the bloke claimed they assaulted him.. the wife then stuck up for him..

The daughters crying to the cops she can't be there. They tell her there's nothing they can do, go to your room, lock your door, ring us if you need help

I kick off and say bollocks, you can get her a hotel room for safeguarding, they turn and basically say 'their hands are tied guv'

Girl goes in, people go home, dad's probably fuming..

What in the actual fuck happend in the dog shit country in regards to protecting young girls??

Wankers.

Been sitting here for 90 minutes with the window open waiting to hear a peep from the cunt bag (Excuse my French..)

The old bill here are utterly fucking useless.
It's hard to understand how they couldn't do more to protect the daughter, especially when it's clear she's in distress

It reminds me of something that happened with my neighbors (a couple with a young daughter) across the hall. Our apartments are connected, so I could sometimes hear their arguments and other things happening

One day, their argument went on for longer than usual and escalated to the point where things were being thrown. It was impossible to ignore, and I could clearly hear the girl was in immense distress. I remember feeling distressed myself because the whole thing sounded so awful. I ended up calling the police, and they assured me they'd check on the situation

Fast forward a few months. I hadn't heard or seen them at all during that time, six months, maybe. Then, out of the blue, I saw them moving out. But the kid was nowhere to be seen, and it left me with a lot of unanswered questions
 
This seems like a bad time to pop up but here I am.

Layout looks great. Barely noticed any down time as I was out-side playing with my new power tool.
Which I realize I forgot to mention what it was.
I bought a reciprocating saw.

Lots of things that need sawing around my place.
 
It may be Monday, but it's Friday to me! I took today and tomorrow off, and I'm about to fly back down to Florida to go to Universal's new parks (including Nintendo World) again two more times before it officially opens.

I just can't pass up the opportunity to go to a new theme park before it opens to the public. The lines are so short, and I love rollercoasters lol.

AJUMP23 AJUMP23 I'll see if I can get you that DK mug
 
How do I get a tag? I feel like something like 'upstairs blasting his Will Smith CD' would fit strictly for irony, of course. Biggest Eminem fan on this forum, don't get it twisted

For reference and the uninitiated:

 
May father passed Away on 4/11/25/ so this is an Historical GAF thread for me now. I can't prove it (because there is no online records) but this niggas is my father.


Edit: Only proof I have right now is I look like him.

Idleyes Idleyes sorry for your loss..

I'm not trying to sound negative, just being honest. My father left when I was three to continue pursuing his music career. I was born in 1973 and came to America around 1976. When things didn't pan out for him here, he returned to Jamaica without my mother, my 3 siblings, and me. I'm not sure what the relationship between my parents truly was, but eventually, he found success, remarried, and had more children. He lived the rest of his life without us. Despite the distance, I'm proud of the path he chose. He reached people with his music and fulfilled his dream of sharing his ideas with the world.

At this time, I'm hoping his lawsuit against UMG succeeds, not for him alone but for other reggae artists UMG ripped off. I'll leave things at that. :messenger_sad_relieved:

Edit: correction, he didn't leave when I was 3. He was around (always not home because he was rightfully paper chasing) for what i recall 2 years after I arrived in America. I remember his white stretched out car (or it likely belong to someone else in the industry at the time) with wheel covers that looked like it was a part of the vehicles body.

Edit 2: He never got paid for his music appearing in Grand Theft Auto San Andreas (Chase the Devil).

Edit 3: I don't have beef with Rockstar Games. I'm sure they got a legit license from UMG to use it.

I'm sorry for your loss man. That's a wild story. Did you ever see him again after he went back to Jamaica?

I have a confession to make. I used to be Administrator over at iidb.org. I left because I didn't think I was a good fit for the Job and the platform was a good fit for me. I love that they trusted me with the task and I still love that website with the most deepest parts of my soul. I was lurking there for years upon years before I started posting. Then I became a mod (loved the team over there). Then Head Nigga in charge. I honestly regret leaving, but I think it was best for iidb that I did because I HAD NO IDEA WHAT THE EVERLASTING FUCK I WAS DOING.

No. We spoke over the phone a few times. He'd ask how my mother was doing every time and he'd say, you're still in Florida? Stay in Florida. Not sure why he'd say that. but I'm still in Florida. lol

I mean hey, Florida is nice. I'm there right now lol
 
Yeah I got no beef with Florida. I was homeless in New York for 2 years because I was stuck in the loop of getting ID. Social Security Office needed shit from both the DMV and Immigration office. DMV needed shit from both the Social Security office and Immigration office. Immigration (you fucking guessed it) needed shit from both the Social Security and DMV. Came to Florida and some white lady at the immigration office was like "Honey what's your SS#". Ok lets get your biometrics". You're done, here's your Permanent residence Card sweety".

I was like, well FUCK I should have come to Florida a long ass time ago.

I am glad Florida helped you out. I grew up in central Florida. Are you working toward citizenship? If so good luck and keep it up. A state with no income tax is a dream.
