Jacksonville St. - All I gotta say is, I've been to a lot of Pistons games before in my life, but nothing compares to the NBA Finals! I pull into the Palace and all you see is a whole section blocked off for media trucks, and the Palace is surrounded by limos. How packed was the Palace for parking? I had to park my car on Harmon St on the grass! It's times like these I wish my knee was 100%. As my cuz and I were walking around during halftime, we ran into Jerome Williams doing interviews with the fans. JYD was in the house and I was on tv, well for those who has NBA Direct TV! I got a pic of Jerome and the funny thing was boy are there a lot of stupid bandwagon fans there. Peeps kept asking me who that was, and I'm like uh Jerome Williams. Then their all like who is he? One person actually asked me if it was John Salley! So I continue walkin around, and then I was the only person who noticed him! Yup, #1 himself Braylon Edwards! I stood right next to Braylon and no one even had a clue who he was. I tried to get my camera out in time but Braylon got into the elevator. As I put my camera away, who runs into me like the NFL is already in session, but another D product The Bus Jerome Bettis! I quickly tried to dig my camera back out but then he hopped in the other elevator. Ahhhhh!

It was funny because my cuz thought he saw Ice Cube. I was like we ain't in Cali man. Seriously though, this is what I'm talkin bout the D representing. Everyone I mentioned from above bleed Detroit, along with Eminem, Kid Rock, Mr. Wonder, The Hitman, this is where we stay. Man I'm so pumped for Game 5 and I am gonna get there butt early now and actually have my camera ready.

During and after the game, I had some time to reflect again. I mean B-12's party was over and she was the last of my counseling era for D-Ship. She was a freshman at the time, and it has been amazing just seein her grow in faith these past 4 years. I got to see Brandon and Austin too, man I don't think I can pick Austin up anymore. Jo and I are related now in her new Sims game, we're bro and sis livin in the same room. I guess we adopted Steph as our lil sis, but I wanted to trade her in for a dog instead :)

Lastly, I've been gettin some senses again and usually my gut is pretty accurate. This is why I try not to have expectations on anything because when they don't go what I was hopin for then I get all disappointed. Ultimately, it's His Will and I need to remember that. But hard sometimes to deal with ya know. I think that's why the game was so refreshing because I just wanted to focus on healin my knee. The goal is still to come back in time to defend the KUMC title and I get to see the specialist on Monday. Whether surgery or rehab, no doubt I am comin back for CCUC no matter how hard I need to push myself.
