It's been a rough week and a tough one at that. Let's start with Thanksgiving Day, where I woke up and got there early for Turkey Bowl. A good brother reminded everyone on our team that hey this is a fellowship game, played by CBC people, which means church goers. I was hoping this game would be a light on that hill, because of our surroundings that their is a hill on the field. However, it turned into bickering, words and actions that I wish I did not hear or see. Yeah 5:14 won the game, but on that morning their was a part of me that I wish I was just not a part of this game.

Then I went to my Aunt and Uncle's new place, and wow this place is like a mansion. I'm glad they moved closer so that they can be closer to their church, Korean Baptist Church I think it is. I saw all my cousins except for Alan, but what surprised me was seeing my baby cuz, Wendy. I mean dude she can drive now! She is my baby cuz because ever since we were little, she reminded me of Michelle Tanner from Full House. She looked just like her and was always so quiet. Now looking at her, she can drive, and she turned into a hottie. I had to give her lectures about the clothes that she was wearing and the amount of makeup. I plan on checking up on her now because she is like a little sis to me still. Lord only knows what her brother does now. I am also curious to who she hangs out with and the influences they have on her. Again she is my baby cuz, and I gotta look out for her.

Friday I lost at the casino, end of story.

Saturday, I went down to U of M Dearborn to play in Rick's b-ball tournament. First time ever I got ejected in a game. I got a couple of technicals, and a fight on top of that. Bobby said it best, is that we don't like to play dirty. However, to me ever since our last MSU tourny, when one team kept pushing us around we just let them. Someone at the tourney reminded me after my ejection, that we should be a light on the court. Yes I agree but we ain't called to play like sissy's either. In the finals, we played against Steve Nash, he was a pretty good player. As the game went on, all of us started cramping up. It's hard not to when Bobby, Stan, and I all are playing about 36-37 minutes a game and it's only a 40 minute game. It would be nice to have depth with talent and more role players to compliment us better. With 3 minutes left though, I had my cramp and I was on the ground for a while. However, unlike everyone else, I decided to stay in the game rather than sit out. Why? Because with the game tied, this is where you have to suck it up, plus I was guarding their best player, when we played a box and 1. All praises go to God for giving me the strength to stay in the whole game on one leg. Also the ability to shut Steve Nash down, and hit the game winner. That first game though, like everyone said, it was more of a WWE match then a game. The MSU team was fun to play against because they had a big crowd with noisemakers and everything. I love to play against hostile crowds.

It sucked to have missed the Jambalaya War Zone Action.

Finally last night, playing a triple header with flu like symptoms now. I don't think ever since high school, I have dropped so many f-bombs on the court or in my mind. We lost to Joey's team again in the finals. I mean now my team has been to the finals 7 straight times and have only won 3 times. It was frustrating, and I think my frustration carried over to my Troy game. Everyone in this league continues to recognize my individual play, but I keep telling them that it ain't getting me no W's. I mean we're still in the basement of the league. I feel like T-Mac, and I know what he's going through whenever they show his face on the court because I give the same face. Mark talked to me last night after the game, seeing that I was pissed. My thought is, is it possible for me to play with some competent girls? This is the most frustrating times right now that I am going through for v-ball.

Finally, to add to my sucky day, I just got pulled over for the 11th straight time. If you are travelling down Van Dyke, do not speed between 12 and 11 mile as they have that area ambushed. There were cop cars and motorcycles at each entrance pulling people left and right. Now I can say that I finally got pulled over in my new car, and first time being a motorcycle. Gosh I need my Valentine more than ever!

So Far Away
