I woke up this morning, thanks to Alisha's wake up call, thinking it's not gonna be a great day. I mean I just spent 6 hours sleeping out of the past 48 hours. I taught a reading lesson that went pretty well. I sat and ate lunch my class as they were returning from recess. Next thing you know, I'm dealing with the lunch mom because a couple of my kids got bad reports. One was in a fight, another was caught stealing milk, and another chucked a b-ball in another's face. I was able to handle most of those situations with a little help from the office. I also had to deal with a riot, that I guess you can say I some what started. I just sat at a table, and next thing you know both 4th grade classes come rushing over to eat with me. I found out that the 5th grade teacher is retiring next year, and both 4th grade classes wanted me to apply for the 5th grade teaching job. I was touched and one of my students even wrote me a personal letter.

However, I was correct on believing this would be a bad day. It's kind of funny that I was talking about the topic of trust last night with Alisha as we were doing our Jap papers. She wonders why, I just have a hard time trusting people. An hour ago would of been a good example, because I had recieved a phone call. This person who had called, heard from another person whom I talked to a lot because I felt as if I could trust person A since I've known A for about 3 years now. However, that was not the case as A told B, which is funny because A came me their word that he/she would not say anything. In the end, B called me and we talked about it and I know what I shared with A was not gossip either as it were legit concerns. After, we hung up I just felt as this was another reason why I like to keep to myself more. It gets harder as I'll see A tomorrow, but I bet A made B promise him/her not to let me know.

I feel betrayed and even this past weekend, I had some sort of dream about it but with a whole difference cast. I was talking it over with this to my mom about taking a trip out of here soon. So I'm really considering, driving out to NYC on Easter night. I also understand with the author of Learning to Bow, when he talked about his emotions. Who can I trust, Jesus after that it's all DTA.

First off, I want to say forgive me, Father for I did not worship with the body yesterday.

Some things change and some things have stayed the same. Yesterday, I went to Joe Dumars to play ball at the butt crack of dawn. It was something I had to do for various reasons, first was to play against the Luu family. That was fine and dandy since the last time I played against them, one of them pulled out a gun because he was pissed. That was the first time I ever had cops interrupt a b-ball game. However, playing against them this time only last for an hour and a half because they were worn out already and I got picked up by the brothas to run with them.

So what has changed at Joe Dumars?

First off they jacked up the prices to $8 now!
Second, I noticed they have not built a wall to block the rails to the upstairs. I used to climb over the rails back then because they have a bar up there. So I would get my all you can drink Gatorade up there :)
Third, they remodeled some parts of the area.

What stayed the same at Joe D's?

First, the competition is still the best that I have played against.
2nd the MSU court is still for the best ballers, while the Pistons court is for losers. It's almost like how we describe the CCRB down in A2.
3rd, I can say that I played and stayed way longer than any of the peeps that went with me yesterday. It's been a tradition for me to play and stay longer than everyone else that I go with.
4th, I'm still referred to as the Chinese ***** (another term that African-Americans call themselves). I like it because it shows acceptance and respect for my game.

I was able to wow the crowd, with this one baseline crossover, 360 in the air, through a double team, with a reverse layup and 1. I was crossing people over when I had the chance, and when that wasn't there, then I had the 3's going, if that was shut down, then I got the new backboard shot going. One person described how I played yesterday as I was Iverson on defense with all the rips I had, and T-Mac on offense because I had so many ways to hurt them.

For the past month now, I've been wanting to take my game to a more intense level. Nothing against CBC ball, but nothing compares to Dumars smash mouth in your face ballin. I love the trash talkin on the side or on the court that just gets me more fired up. Yeah, CBC ball is for outreach, but at the same time I feel like people force me to turn my game down and just level off. And I ain't that type of player, I wanna improve as a player everyday.

Finally, throughout all the different teams I was running with there was one main constant. The offense ran through me, which does not necessarily mean I scored but everyone always looked for me. The interesting part is that everyone accepted it and each of them knew their role. I don't know any of brotha's I was runnin wit, but they gave me respect from watching me play. I didn't have to tell any of them what to do because they all know how to play the game within the system.

One thing I did feel bad about though was I kept yelling at my cousin's friend because he wasn't cutting it. He got intimidated by this one big lookin brotha who weighed at 250 and was 6'4. He got scared because of the size factor. I pointed at my heart, and got in his face to see how big his heart is. When it comes down to it, it's the size of your heart is what counts on the court. If I was ever to get a tattoo, it would be of Psalm 23.

I miss those days where my squad would run it up there every Friday night. Those runs yesterday were for my Dekeyser Squad. Gotta start hitting up Dumars again, because it's the best runs in the area, advantage Eastside.

Anything Goes

Today, Sarah and I were walking out of Jap class together. As we were approaching the parking lot, ahead of us we saw the 2 Metros that I have dubbed in the class. I mean these 2 guys are like woo swinging from the other side. I mean even our prof, makes fun of Metro Joe sometimes, while Metro Row's got some B.O. going on. Majority of the class, agrees with my Metro dubs. Anyhoot, so we see them walking to the parking lot together, and I started ad libing what they were saying. I was pretendin they were gonna ask each other out. Next thing ya know, Metro Joe got a little physical with Metro Row, by shoving him. So I'm thinking, ewww I don't wanna see that stuff outside. Then boom, next thing ya know Metro Joe took a huge swing at Metro Row. My jaw just dropped because this kid is not a fighter that's for sure. Then Metro Joe got Metro Row in the headlock and started punching him in the jaw. Sarah was like, hello are we in high school again. Personally, I was kind of excited because it just gave me a show to watch in the OU parking lot. I was about to break them up because Metro Joe's fighting style just flat out sucks and Metro Row does not know how to defend himself. One of the girls in our Jap class, broke everything up and pulled Metro Row aside. Now I started busted out laughing because Metro Joe was so pissed and he began to start Hulking up or something.

Metro Joe began walking away, but here is a tip for everyone. Never ever when you are in a fight do you where your backpack to throw down. Man first time rookie fighters got a lot to learn.

So this has been my dilema for a while now. Should I have stepped in or minded my own business? When I see something wrong, it's like I want to step in, but then I realize that it is none of my business. Like at McDonald's a while ago, some geezer was giving the staff a hard time. I wanted to say something back to the geezer but Ben told me to leave it. Can someone please drop some advice on this, whether I should step in or mind my own business?

Best news that I learned today, was that Prof. Molter told us what our EED 354 final would be. Our final is on April 19th, and it will consist of meeting at Big Boys in Rochester. Molter told us he was buying for both of his 354 classes. So as I was counting my 5 finals for my 5 classes with only a month left of this semester, I have finished 3 finals already. This Big Boys, then Carl and I finished our PowerPoint Final for our other EED 420 class, and there is no final in Astro!

Good fellowship conversations that we had tonight at 5-1-4. So what is your definition of being romantic?

I also learned today about this whole Taiwan presidency or whatever type of government they got going on over there. Actually, I'm still a little confused about it come to think of it. Yes, I am slow at this but I think I am only slow because it still doesn't interest me too much. I mean politics, to me who cares. I've been going to the Rec Center to workout even more and there is Caution Tape as soon as you walk in, and it reads "From this point forward, there will be no campaigning." This is for the fools running for OU Student Body President. I've seen some of these jabroni's on campus campaigning and asking people like me to vote for them. Personally, I have yet to vote for our president of our own country, so why am I gonna bother voting for one of those peeps? Politics, politians all liars and dirty people. However, there has been one gal at A2 who's been talking to me to prove me wrong, I welcome the challenge.

Today, was a funny day to go back and remember the shows that I use to watch. After student teaching today, I met up with Alisha, and Beth aka B Dizzle so we can study for our upcoming Astro exam together. Instead, we got the conversation of Nickelodeon for about like 2 hours or so. It all started when I commented on Alisha's away message the day before about Zach Morris. So we made a list of our favorite Nickelodeon shows, and we all agreed that Hey Dude was our favorite. There was Salute Your Shorts, Wild & Crazy Kids, The Legend of the Hidden Temple, Guts, Double Dare, Nick Arcade, The Secret World of David the Gnome, Alex Mack, Clarissa Explains It All, Flipper, Eureeka's Castle, The Koala Cartoon, and Welcome Freshmen!

We got so crazy, that we started downloading certain shows theme music on Alisha's laptop, and B Dizzle's laptop we were looking at ebay to see how much does it cost to buy Hey Dude's every episode. Next thing you know, all you can hear is our booth bouncin' to Hey Dude's theme song in the middle of the OC. We got the What the GG are they listening to look as peeps walked by.

I was such a distraction to other people's studying time when we went into Astro early, that other people started to talk to us about Nickelodeon show and which ones were their favs. If only we didn't have to take that exam and exchanged it for a time to look back as a tribute to those shows.

Does anyone remember any other Nickelodeon shows that I left off my list that were popular? Also does anyone remember Fraggle Rock? Hahaha, I started singing the Gummi Bears theme song in the middle of our exam. B Dizzle kept cracking up, man good times in boring Astro class.

Make It Clap

Serving God is suppose to be a joyous occasion, where we are to be delighted in serving the Lord. However, I noticed I've been drained of energy lately. I caught myself yesterday dozing off during the CBC 50th Anniversary meeting, that's how sapped out of energy I've been lately. That's why today I really wanted to go to NYC with my parents. I just wanted some down time for myself, to relax and not think about anything. I wanted a day where I could get some extra sleep, not think about school, ministry, and any sporting events. However, I opted not to go to NYC last night with my parents because it came down to my committments for these reasons:

1) EED project, I didn't want 2 of the 4 MotherLovers in our group dominating this project when I'm not there. I was so drained during class that I was not even paying attention, but apparently Suga Mama, D, Mandy, and Rusty all tried to put the smackdown on those mothers. I would of joined in but my mind was too pooped to say too much.

2) EED Powerpoint, I wanted to make sure Carl and I's presentation is the best in the class or at least better than those mothers.

3) Astro Lab, I made a promise to Suga Mama, that we would work on this together the previous week. I don't like breaking my word even if it meant not being able to go to NYC with my parents. Plus I have an exam in Astro tomorrow too, and it would be nice that I knew what chapters it covers.

4) V-ball Playoff Schedule, Now that the regular season is over our team has been waiting for awhile to see who we got in the 1st round. As predicted, Joey and our team had the 2 best records again, that we both have a 1st round bye. It's nice to get a breather in, but I wanted another piece of Foreign Relations.

5) Finally staying ahead, all the work that I done over Spring Break has finally caught back up where I am not ahead of the pack anymore. So another reason not to go to NYC was to try to get ahead in homework and working out.

Despite, being tired lately, blogging about it just now makes me feel better because I need to remind myself that it is not of my own power but of His that I can do things. Only the strong survive, so I need to push forward in all these things.

Ravine

Man am I an idiot sometimes. So the other day I finally got my letter back from MTTC for my next standard test. All my peeps are all taking at Hart Middle School like 3 miles away from my house. But me, nope I was dumb and put down the wrong city. I put down Detroit because it said Metro area, but what I should of put down was Pontiac/Auburn Hills. So now while all my peeps are taking it at Hart, I will be going down to Cobo Hall to take my MTTC.

But my stupidity doesn't end there, as today we had to read a chapter out of our ED book. We were gonna have an exam on what we read. So stupid me, walks into class and I thought I was so prepared for this exam to find out that I wasn't. Why? Again my dumb butt, I read the wrong ED book for class! Thankfully I have one of the best prof's on campus and the whole class got a good laugh out of it. So he decided to not give us an exam, phew!

Tonight I finally got a chance to play against Foreign Relations, lead by Barbie Girl. Maegan kept me in check from gawking at her. However, the rest of the guys had their probs as Barbie came in with some super short shorts, and a tight Hooter's tee. The first game, it was more of a feeler game, trying to see where each team stands. Barbie was trying to say stuff to me, so I had to help her keep her mouth shut. I guess the 2nd game her team took offense and boy did I pay for it. A shanked pass from my team sent the ball cruising over the net. I saw one of the guys going for the kill. I ran all the way from the Pit to try and dig it because I knew he was going line. Yup, he went line alright, straight down line and hard. So hard that he drilled the ball right on my GG! I was a half a second late from getting my arms up to dig it.

I crashed to the ground, and you can here the gym be filled with Oooooooh. So I quickly got back up and smiled at Barbie's team, trying to tell them that they are gonna have to come a lot harder to try and phase me. But on the inside, I was gritting my team because my whole insides kept shaking and I didn't want to show weakness. This only lead me to do one thing for the 3rd game, which was to stop goofing around with Barbie's team. I kicked it up a notch, to go S.S. 1 and just started to give them all jump serves (man have I been consistent on these things). 5 aces later, we had a huge lead in the 3rd game, and I wasn't gonna tone it down yet. Game point, to go fancy, I went hard middle and tooled the fool that drilled my chicken. Game over, I stared him down then celebrated with my teammates. I know we'll be seeing these fools in the playoffs and I can't wait. The thrill of a challenge to take on 3 of the most talented guys in the league, and a hottie who is very distracting on/off the court all on one team, gotta love it!

Wow GameWorks, what a way to end the night!

My Deja Vu

Wednesday, March 17, 2004

Isn't this cool, snow again? Driving in snow in an empty parking lot is so much fun. Doing donuts, fishtailing, and speeding down one end and to quickly spin out to see how fast you can recover is a lot of fun too. Again it sucks with no music what so ever to get the adrenaline rush going.

I am starting to lose my patience with a lot of people in my classes. As some who know, I am disturbing the peace already in all my ED classes. I'm sick of the ignorant people in this class. It the what I deem the 4 MotherLover Old Hags, who are all 40 year old mothers who like to brag about their kids, talk about how great they are at student teaching and don't know how to use correct English. You got one of them calling Polish people the deragatory word, and can't even properly direct African-Americans. Carl and I, finally got frustrated by telling them they might as well call us by our nicknames too. You have the other lady believing that Catholics are an ethnic group. These 4 mothers are killing me. It's funny because everyday someone else has been trying to shut them up other than myself, such as D, Liz, Mandy, and Suga Mama.

Then their is Jap class, for the most part I was able to play it cool earlier in the semester. Their were heated debates between Christianity vs. Buddism. I lead the Christian side while another student who is a hardcore Buddhist was on the other side. I had it today as we were discussing the differences between Chinese and Japanese food. Their were a few peeps who kept dogging Chinese food. You have the Prof. proudly supporting it and that her great Japanese food is so much better. I got nothing against Japanese food and everyone is entitled to their opinion but come on now no need to knock on it.

In the end though I know He put these people here for a reason. Although my outbursts do keep me interested during lecture. So to keep my mouth shut during Astro class tonight, I bought carry out sushi to eat during lecture, while writing notes throughout class to Beth. I wish I got to the OC earlier today too, as I guess some Theologians came in to have an open discussion forum about The Passion of the Christ. It was cool because you had peeps coming in with signs about the movie from both supporters and non-supporters. I was very curious on the believers on which verses they were using along with which Bible. Man had I only got there sooner!

Drift and Die

Tuesday, March 16, 2004

The last 2 weekends now, I've had to make some tough decisions in my life. I was taught in order to have good godly decision makin skills then I need to be absolutely clear on things with no hesitation. I made up my own acronym DYRLG, Do You Really Love God? It's like if I really love Him then I will obey Him. However, that isn't always the case with myself. But this past 2 weekends was like so hard for me to submit, and in the end I did give in. Actually one of the decisions was made for me, so that one was a lot easier. However, during those times, I tried so hard during my quiet times to pray and justify my actions. What was worst though, that my mindset at times were like, oh now that I obeyed, I better get some good rewards. Which is a totally bad attitude, as if He didn't bless me enough. Just the selfish sinner in me, but I hope those decisions pay divendends in those who witnessed it.

Nicole has moved to 28 Mile and Camp Ground right by me. It's so cool because she works with my parents at the restaurant again for a little. She is a very good friend of the family and I remember her and I use to go at it at the other restaurant. Nicole used to be this 21 year old hottie, and I was the 13 year old immature little brat annoying her to death. I use to just drench her with my squirt guns and she would run around trying to slap the snot out of me. But now, she's 30 and happily married with a baby. We were talking about how back in the day when she use to drive my sis and I around, we would always fight about who got shotgun and control of the radio. However, we still annoy each other at the restaurant now, but I think it's just our way of showing that we care for each other.

Today, I also took my car in to get the glitch out of my CD player. Now I don't have a radio so it's like dead silent in the car. But it was nice today to cruise around, in total silence, and just trying to ponder on where He is leading me. Errrr, today was another no fruit producing day though as I sat at home and played video games. I'm really glad that I used my Spring Break a couple of weeks ago to get ahead because now it is starting to catch up to me.

With You

Thursday, March 11, 2004

Wooooo, I think Leonardo just farted because it is stankin'. I keep dropping food in for this thing, but it ain't eatin. Now it looks like it is trying to get out of it's bowl. I wonder what is his deal?

Anyways, Paul and my cuz just left and I have just lost some dough. I lost to Paul, and I lost bad in Madden. I hate losing, so yeah it sucked although I got to win some back in NBA Live.

I also ran into Alex at Beech Woods the other night. It was nice to to chit chat and talk to my Korean brother. Another league is pretty much out of the way and I can now say it's a great feeling to be a champ in at least one of the v-ball leagues I am playing in. Only one more to go at OU!

I've been spending some time lookin' back at CBC's last 50 years through some really old pics. Looking back, really makes me appreciate the history of it. I saw a lot of funny pics of those who gre up in the church. I kept trying to think what was I wearing at least like 10 years ago because man everyone looked kind of goofy to me. Then again, I can see like 50 years from now, whoever is in charge of the CBC 100th Anniversay and see me, could say that yeah this kid was goofy looking back then.

Time for bed now because Leonardo is just stinking up the join. Hahahah, it just got scared when I put my Pikachu eraser next to the bowl.

Happy Nation

Tuesday, March 09, 2004

To have a pet again, feels really wierd. I am currently turtlesitting for my sis as she is now in Myrtle Beach once again. Man this turtle is fat, I wonder what she feeds it. Anyhoot, I don't know if this thing has a name or not, so I am gonna call it Leonardo after my favorite Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle.

As Spring is approaching, I've got mad loot that I've been saving up for this time. The money that I've been saving up since the beginning of fall is for my car. I've been saving up to make some mods to my car. I learned this weekend that my cousin, finally got his car custom made to his liking with all the trimings. Some sort of Mazda vehicle and while the flip side of the fam we have my other cousin who is still itching to challenge me in his Accord in a race. The Mazda though intrigues me, but I wanna show what an American car can do baby! My first purchase though will be the Valentine because I wanna stay away from number 12.

For those street racing fans out there, who want to test their driving abilities then here are the freeways that I've labeled between easy, medium, and hard.

Easy raceways: 696, 75, M-8, M-5 and 69 because they have a lot of lanes to make passing easy and at least 69, their ain't that many cars on the road.

Medium raceways: 275, 96, 94, and M-10 because they have many lanes but with a lot of cars. 96 especially because you can fly in and out of the express and local lanes.

Hardest raceways: All I can think of is M-39, Southfield Freeway. This freeway in my opinion has more accidents than any other in this state. The narrow lanes and populated traffic makes it hard to weave in and out. This freeway requires some sort of quick reflexes as today I was watching a handful of cars street racing. Boy where they going at it, this one girl did a 3 lane cut without even braking nor looking. I really wanted to challenge her but I had my sis in the car on our way to the airport.

Now if only we can patch up those potholes so I can install ground effects in my car. Happy driving everybody!

I'm With You

Monday, March 08, 2004

Are the Pistons just rolling or what? I mean yeah you can make the case that they played some mediocore teams, but they are blowing teams out! I've been doing a lot of thinking about this past Saturday's b-ball. One of my goals at the beginning of this year was to try to be more optimistic which would be as I see it, more faithful and trusting in Him. I gotta admit that the team I was on, it looked bad and I felt as if I was on the Hawks. I mean this team was filled with egomaniacs and with so much I tried to do my best by taking the back seat. However, with one swift trade to acquire ABCboy, that really turned this team around. I mean some peeps talk to me about how they wanted to keep playing our team because we were playing really good. I was excited because the team's offense was centered on me. It was good to challenge myself back to see how well my knee would hold up. However, as I was talking to some of the peep's, I mean I got all my points because I had teammates who compliment my game, accepts, and knows their role.


I mean I had Levi, who would spot up in the corner and I can just drive and kick out to him for the open 3. I had Arthur who is a slasher and I can find him when I am posting up. I have ABCboy who has the ability to post up so I can live off his double teams and get open J's. Finally their is Richard, who is in my opinion one of the best defenders at CBC. I was able to display the one thing that I do not ever want to become in b-ball, one-dimensional. I was able to hit the J's, attack the rim, and post up. However, I was also able to extend that and guard every team's top players. My goal in b-ball is to play both ends 100% and shut down my opposing player.

Although I was disappointed with myself at the end. I started to fatigue a little due to lack of lifting weights as much as I wanted to. I felt like Cougie Boozer took some wind out of me, but that's why it's good to have ABCboy to switch with me on D. Errr gotta hit the weights more!

Whispers in Blindness

Sunday, March 07, 2004

Today's topic is cell phones, which I have a big prob with. I'm the type of person who does my best to pick up my cellie when it is ringing. I'll pick it up during class, student teaching, ACA, CBC, I mean it just doesn't matter to me. I learn my lesson a few years ago when I had a pager and a cellie. I'll never forget that day, where I decided to not answer either of them during worship. As I was sitting in Sunday School, my pager and cellie kept going off constantly. I continued to ignore it, and then I looked at it to see it was Snoozer who kept doing this. JC kept telling me to ignore it because it probably wasn't important. So I did, but it kept going off so something had to be up right? So JC and I made a bet, that if it was important then he would buy me lunch and if it wasn't then vice versa. So I called Snoozer after our handshake. It turned out that she had a flat tire and needed my assistance the whole time! Of course I won a free lunch from JC, but the moral of this to me was that I can't assume that the other person has nothing important to say.

I still get calls at like the whee hours of the morning, which I don't mind. I mean I can turn the other cheek and ignore it, so that I can continue to get my sleep. However, I always choose to answer it because most of the time it is just someone who needs someone to listen and talk to. I mean if I chose to ignore the call, then I'm just selfish for wanting more sleep for myself.

Tonight, same thing my sis kept calling my cellie and my mom's phone. My mommy was worried sick about my sis because my mommy kept trying to call her back. But my sis did not pick up the phone. So I called on my phone, luckily my phone tells me if the other person is using the other line. So I knew it was nothing important when I knew she chose to ignore my mom's phone calls back to her because she was on the other line the whole time talking to someone else. I finally got a hold of my sis to see what she wanted, and of course it was important well to her that is. My sis forgot to grab her cash at the restaurant. I told my mom and she was so relieved because she thought my sis was in an accident. I explained to my sis about the importance of cellie's and putting people on hold type of ordeal. She didn't care nor understand, which goes back to our self-centered attitudes which just dooms us all.

Waiting For Magic

Friday, March 05, 2004

I learned something new today, well actually I try to do that everyday. My oh so ever goal in life, is to learn at least one thing new each day. During Astro class, as ususal I was bored out of my mind. So I grabbed Blythe's Cosmo magazine to read. I learned that you can get lip transplants? Wow I never knew that, and I was looking at all the famous actresses who got'em done. Ewww man that's kind of sick as they describe the procedure to you. I mean who wants fat from some part of their body be injected into their lips, so they can be nice and plump?

Eerrrrr I got 2 wrong today on my Japan Art exam! Dang it that dropped me down by 1% and it leaves my overall grade at 90%! I had one of the high grades at the beginning with a 98% now drop down to this. Astro I don't even want to wonder where I'm at with those guys in the front scoring 100% on the last exam. I keep wondering how or what do I need to do to stay on top of everyone else?

Yay, my sis is coming back home for Spring Break before I take her to the airport. I miss beating her up around the house :)

Bad Boy

Thursday, March 04, 2004

It's amazing today because I woke up early due to Suga Mama's call. I went to class to only find out that it was cancelled, so yay for that! I finally played my first game of the OU season for this semester tonight. I was hoping my debut could wait till the playoffs started. Now this semester has been funnelled down to 1 conference after last semester's 2. They separated the contenders from the pretenders. However, due to last week's loss, I've got to get back because I don't want our team to lose the top seed for the playoffs. So I was watching the other teams that I have yet to see. Especially, Foreign Relations since they beat us last week to see exactly how good they are. They had this one girl, whom I gotta admit is a hottie. I'll call her Barbie since that's what Lisa and Maegan call her. Boy does Barbie draw in the men to watch their team play, I mean just everyone was staring at and gaulking at her. I believe she does wear the shortest and I do mean shortest shorts in the whole league. Lisa and Maegan kept me in check, by telling me "K, you better not stare at her ass." That helped me, but I wish she could of said that to the other guys on our team. Oh well, all guys are hormono and tonight was a great example.

Tonight I've also entered the OU All-Star B-ball Extravaganza for this semester. I'll be competing in the 3 Point shootout, Free Throw Contest, and the 2-Ball competition whom my partner will be, hmm new nickname, Hung Wei. I'm also considering entering in the Slam Dunk contest, but yeah that's a dream. However, I have a month to get ready for this so if I work on my legs enough and just be able to get above the rim I should be alright? My plan was to just to alley-oop dunks since last semester a guy entered the Slam Dunk contest but could not even dunk. Oh well, my goal is not to shoot a donut in the 3 Point Contest, woohoo 1 minute to get through the racks!

Wow, ArmWrestleMania at Snoozer, KC, and Lizzie's place. Snoozer vs. Lizzie, hmmmm tough call, I can't say that I've seen Lizzie arm wrestle anyone. I do like my underdogs though. However, I checked Karoke Revolution and that these 2 ladies have dominated all the High Scores, I gotta give this to Snoozer. Why? Because Lizzie holds first place in the highest score ever in Karoke Revolution, so Snoozer should seek redemption. I will predict Snoozer to win this one.

Speaking of arm wrestling, does that bring back memories. Arm wrestling for serious money back in the day. I remember going up against the 2 fatboy brothers at Oceania Inn. Personally, I didn't like them too much because they always tried to push their weight around amongst the restaurant kids. I remember having the ballz to arm wrestle them both and trying to lay a butt whoopin of a lifetime on both those fatty's. However, it was too much for me too much weight to take them on back to back. I just remember the cash floating around that little room where it was filled with everyone my age watching. I remember when Oceania Inn had that F-Zero/Super Mario World/NCAA B-ball arcade game. It's too bad that they closed down eventually due to gambling, mah jong that is. Memories good/bad......

Man while I'm on this gambling role, I remember a bunch of going out to buy fish. Oh not just any fish either, we always bought the fighting fish. A lot of us would raise them and then we would all get together on the weekends. We would all bring our fish, and have individual challenges, fish against fish, with of course big loot on the line. It was like one of those Rooster fights that they do in Mexico. I remember we had one tank with all of us surrounding it, not making any sudden moves, and watching the fish bite each other. First fish that ends up floating upside down or the owner forfeits, is the loser and the winner wins the pot. Animal brutality, I can't say too much because I took part in it. We had all sort of ways to come up to making money, man I kind of missing having some sort of fish around here too.

Wheel of Fortune

It was good last week, that I really did a lot of my projects, papers, and homework for my Spring Break. What's even funnier, was seeing people in class today who didn't have tans. Not to knock on Kentucky, but Carl and I just told everyone that yeah you must of been down to Kentucky with us. So I wake up this morning anyways, and lately I've been waking up early just to watch Beverly Hills 90210. Then I went to class, where this is how my day broke down to:

10:40 class starts
11:50 Prof. Molter gives us a 10 minute break
12:30 I walked back into class, because I didn't realize that I was outside talking to other peeps in the ERL for that long, so I had a nice 40 minute break of class. Suga Mama and Mandy both looking at me because I came in so late.
12:33 Prof. Molter decides to let us leave early.

Yeah, I feel bad for just staying for a total of 3 minutes of class after my own little break. However, I did get to go home and watch Braveheart, take a nap, eat dinner, and watch the Pistons lose. What a day of unproductiveness! On the positive side, since I finished a lot of my school stuff months in advance, I do get to slack a little right?

On a side note, I've been downloading Ace of Base's 2nd cd now. Gotta admit, this thing has some pretty good tunes to just cruise around in. I also went to my grandma's house last week to find my Batman & Robin soundtrack! I love that song by the perv, R. Kelly's Gotham City. That song makes me think of all the times I go to the Twin Cities. It's just a very beautiful place at night seeing all those pretty lights. I miss going there to see family and chill up at the cabin. I look back, and think my sis was very lucky that year she got to go there on her own. Maybe I will use my free tix to go back to what I call my 2nd home.
