Look
If you had
One shot
Or one opportunity
This is everything you ever wanted
One moment
Would you capture it
Or just let it slip?
Finally I got the 8 Mile Soundtrack, and it's just a great cd. I guess you can say I love Eminem from way back when before he became famous. Why did I like him? Because he always represented Detroit baby, my hometown, where I grew up. Other favorites of mine that came out of Detroit are I.C.P. and Kid Rock, you had to be hardcore to know who they were before they came out and became superstars. I can't wait to go see 8 Mile, I used to remember as a kid, everyday going to my grandparents restaurant and always getting off at 8 Mile.
I just got done taking my ENV exam, and dang it! Ya know the first exam everyone tells me that he posts most of the questions from the exam on his website. So I did nothing but study those questions for this 2nd exam, however out of 47 questions he only puts like 5 questions this time. And tonight I'll probably find out my sorry grade from HST.
At least I have last night to live off of for a little bit. Last night was just like a blessing in disguise and part of me wished that I could share this week for v-ball instead of last week. Like I haven't talked about this enough, is that I still get kind of bummed with some of my other friendships and where they are heading. Yeah and it's been a struggle sometimes because I dwell on it so much. However last night was just rewarding as I got an unexpected surprise for my b-day. I'm not the type of person to be telling everyone by b-day because personally I don't care about it. I think it's the age thing, and as I'm reading it everyone keeps talking about old age. Guess what, I'm still gonna be The Kid :) but I remember when I first turned 16 that was the age I wanted to stay at because all I cared about was driving. Everyone keeps talking about 21 is the age but eh I don't drink so that wasn't a big deal to me. I don't think I've ever had a surprise for my b-day like that. It was truly a memorable one, and honestly I was choked up with emotions because I didn't realize it was for me. And I just can't praise God enough for the friends that I spent last night with. Just reading the card really puts a tear in my eye. So before I get any more sappy, I just want to say thanks to JW, Phil, Larry, Chrissy, Viv, Connie, Cougar, Alan, Naomi, Cecilia, Vickie, Les, Kelly, and Andy.

Wow it's been a while it seems like, anyways last Thursday, my HST class was cancelled, maybe Prof. Zellers isn't a bad prof after all. Nah, I think he still is one of the worst right up there with Prof. Izrealli. Survivor sucked because Robb got voted off dang it! But it's cool Erin is still my pick to win. And let's see since last Sunday I've been playing more v-ball than sleeping it seems like.
Last night was the season opener for OU IM V-ball, and I was glad that my teammates from last season were reunited, Stan, Melissa, and Jane. It's too bad Nick couldn't play with us this year, he was the X-Factor for us. And now our team, Titans (yeah gotta name it after my high school) I've added Maegan, Cindy, and Kathy. What's even more exciting is that we have so many teams in IM V-ball, that we have formed to 2 Conferences, Western and Eastern. Danielle, who works at the Rec and is in charge, purposely split up our team and Joey's team, GoodNPlenty because we're the top teams. So last night we played Vertically Challenge, and we beat them 2-1. I was upset that we lost the first game as I blame myself for the lost. Maybe I was overconfident, because when it was 9-2 I chose to sit out and conserve my energy for YCF's game. However we ended up losing 15-11 as I checked in too late. Then again, the team seemed to of had butterflies as everyone was still trying to get used to each other. So I stayed in the 2nd game and we just dominated them 15-2, and finish it off in the 3rd game. Something I've been thinking about all of last week as I've been working out to push myself at a higher level than last year, is that it gets lonely at the top ya know? I guess that's why you need faith in God to truly be satisfied and content in your life. Last night, before the game, I was looking at everyone warming up then I kind of looked outside the window, having this lonely feeling inside of me about v-ball. Like I love playing with everyone on my team, but it's not the same. No Joyce, Lindsay, Chrissy, Connie, Phil, Ting, Viv, JW, and Larry the people that I've been playing with for so long now. I guess it is like what Kabito said to Gohan about being the lone saiyan, I guess I feel like the lone CBC person at OU and I don't have them to back me up for my mistakes.
Last night I also felt that compassion that God's word speaks of, about having compassion for your enemies. Joey's team is in the Western Conference, and I knew I sensed great power, and skills from other teams. But watching Joey's team struggle against Haters R Us the way the did, made me really want to jump in and help Andi and him out. They've been in the finals the past 2 semesters now, and they got rocked a few times. Boy I never imagined that I would have it in my heart, to really want to charge up and go out and help his team out. Then again, I've got my own worries with this 6 foot plus monster on Theta Chi next week. One funny thing that did occur last night was, Jane and I were about to be ejected from the game because we were sporting red bandanas on our heads. So we were asked to take them off which sucked because we matched pretty well. Well I guess it's time to go hit the books.

So we just had a fire alarm at KL, so sorry to those I was talking to because I had to shutdown and walk outside. I never realized that many people went to our library. Boy this sugar rush is really killing me because now I'm starving with PS 241 coming up in a half hour. Tuesday I fell asleep during class and I gave a little spasm then I woke up. It's funny because Larry, JW and I were just talking about falling asleep during class and doing something retarded last week. I don't have much to say now and I guess after reading Conehead's blog, it must be a randomblog day for myself too. Maybe I'll go to class early and get some reading done, what a good boy I am.
Oh here's a lil' somethin, somethin that I've been humming in my mind as I was just surfing the web.
Do we always gotta run,
Do we always gotta hide,
Life's moving fast,
You're smoking a lot of hash,
You better get a move on,
Before it kicks you in the ass.
Why is it so hard for me to put things away in the past or even in the present? Instead why can't I focus on what God has shown me in His direction. I need to keep my faith strong, like my boy Job did back in the days. Gosh it's funny that the guy across from me keeps talking so fricking loud about fantasy hockey to this one girl. Wow is this a new way in picking up women? Maybe I should shove a hockey stick up his butt because some of us in here are trying to do work.

Wow it's like 2:15 a.m. now and I'm still not sleepy even after another nite of guys nite last nite. I think it has to be all those cupcakes I ate tonight at Chrissy and Connie's place. Oh and plus all that left over frosting and the huge box of Nerds I had in my car. Because of all this sugar attack, I didn't even bother eating dinner. Boy talk about a nutrional meal after what Conehead said in her blog. Anyways, today I went to MSU to take care of a couple of things and I went to visit my sister's place. It's been a while since Labor Day that I've went to my sister's place. And now that their all settled in, I have a couple of things that I want to say. I find it funny that, one of her roommates who asked a month or two ago that she needed help on trying to quit smoking, because I still see a pack of Marlboro's on the table. I'm disappointed as well that the bottom half of the fridge contains a box of 24 pack Bud Light. Hopefully their will be that one day for my sister and her friends to turn and find their path of righteousness.
Replay of Monday nite's game against Try Again, is that we got spanked and even shut out! I got schooled 2-3 times by Phil's friend Jen. I don't want to take any credit away from their win but I know for a fact that we can beat them. I remember talking to this one lady who organizes the league and she kept talking to me about how a lot of the teams have played together for so many years and that you can tell which teams are newly formed while others have played for the longest time. I agreed with her because I've played against some of these teams for the past 2 years now. And so sometimes it's frustrating to see our team lose because our lack of team chemistry is there which in overall is our communication. I always said that talent can only take you so far but chemistry is what pushes a team higher. I'm starting to understand what Howard's been teaching me about our Men's v-ball team and how we need to keep our chemistry.
I went to OU after our game to play some more v-ball and to check out the talent of this year's league. The comparisons have begun now, between Joey and I to see who is the MVP of this semester. I gotta say that he has improved this past summer so I've been pushing myself on Tuesday with Melissa, to keep me ahead of him. What sucks now is that I got this bruise on my hip bone which is causing me to walk with a limp. I got this on Tuesday night, I dove straight down hard on my side to pancake because our team was so great with their passing. So it's been difficult to sleeping on that side, but I just got done running up and down the stairs for a little bit and it feels a little better. I must say it's gotta be that frosting, dang it that's given me so much energy.
And just a random thought as it hit me while I was driving home after CYAF. Gosh I can't believe how much Connie and Chrissy's dad reminds me of my daddy. I'm starting to understand how my parents, Rich's parents, and the Cheung sister's parents were so tight back then. Actually after thinking about it, it's kind of amazing how God has placed us, Rich, Connie, Chrissy, and I staying tight kind of like today's Bible Study about generations come and generations go. And it looks like Rich already got a jump on us for the 3rd generation with Audrey. But I don't think anyone should be looking on me to keeping the 3rd generation going. It's just amazing that what holds true in the OT still holds true today.
And final thought of the day, is have you ever wished that you could be there and do things that you have in your mind? But God's guiding you in another direction and you're kind of hesistant about going because you wanna go back towards the other way. Well I gotta give all the praise to God as He's provided CYAF or possibly TF (Transformers Fellowship) that I can really feel the fire for God and to truly focus on serving Him.

I tell myself
Hey only fools rush in
Only time will tell if we stand the test of time
All I know
You got to run to win
I'll be dang if I get hung up on the line
Hey, no I can't recall anything at all
Wooo it's got what it takes
So tell me why can't this be love
You want it straight from the heart
Oh tell me why can't this be love?
Wow was it just me or really praise God for the good competition that came out on Saturday morning. However, at one point I did feel bad for my actions. Their is this one guy, who I guess JW so kindly named him Truck that pissed me off. As I turned the corner to guard my guy, he just popped up for a quick hip-check and instantly knocked me to the ground. I got back up and got in his face because it was an illegal pick. The last time I got blindsided like that was a few months ago at MSU during a b-ball tournament where this monster guy just knocked me to the ground and the ref called it. I finished the game, however afterwards, SammeeQ was nice enough to nurse my shoulder with ice and put it in a sling for me. And also as I was racing for the ball, Saturday, Alex bumped JW and JW fell onto me my left leg and ultimately twisted my knee and rolled on top of it. I don't know if it is a hyperextention or strain, but it just feels like my knee is out place.
And yesterday, I went to Cornerstone Christian Fellowship Church to worship with them. It was the first time I ever that I've gone to another church to worship by myself. It was also nice to worship with brothers and sisters in the Lapeer area. As I was driving looking for this place, the area made me think back of the place I stayed at over the summer while in NJ. And this church I believe is a good reminder for all of us who tends to think of a church is a building with a cross. But this place was nothing like that, it was like an office building, however a church is the body of people who worship our God. I remembered that from last year's music seminar I went to at CBC. But the people their were just so loving, supportive, and they welcomed me with open arms. I met this one guy, Dennis, a godly man indeed, and he asked me to start coming to Cornerstone to take his place in ministry as he was leaving to Florida for good because of a new job. And I felt honored to be there yesterday as they had a special service, since it was their 6 year anniversary. You can tell that God has done wonders with this body of believers, yesterday was just an amazing experience.
Driving back down to get to my soccer game I had a little encounter with about at least 20 biker dudes. And some peeps been asking what happenned, so I'll give the details. I'm driving down M-24 and I am in the right lane about to get on I-75, the biker gang was in the middle lane. Now they realized that the exit ramp to I-75 was on the right lane. So they all tried to cut over together but I was in the middle of them. So their is this one biker who tried to join his buddies by trying to get all the way around me, as I'm getting on the ramp. So he thinks that I purposely cut him off, and I'm like dude I was already on the right lane getting on to the ramp. So then he proceeded to drive on the shoulder to get ahead of me, and once he did all I could do was laugh. Because as soon as he got in front of me, he braked really hard, turned around to look at me, gave me the number 1 finger salute, and said "F*** You". All I could do when he looked at me and did was smile and laugh, kind of in a taunting matter because if I was pissed then that would give him the satisfaction that he pissed me off. But I laughed and that only irritated him even more. Once on the freeway, I went to the middle lane, and this guy cut in front of me again, and hit his brakes hard again forcing the both of us to go about 40mph on I-75. I don't know if this guy was high or anything because ummm yeah I'm driving in a car, and he is in his harley. If I hit him while he was braking, he would die. Anyways, I cut about 2 lanes over to the left, and got up to my max speed, about 110-112 mph till the governor kicked in. While I passed him cutting over, he looked at me again, and I smiled, blew him a kiss, and gave the peace sign to him. Which of course only irritated him even more as I'm having fun and he is gettin even more pissed. So he decided to tail gate me at speeds of 110 mph down I-75, now let's think for a moment here. Again I am in a car, and if I braked at 110 mph instantly, with him tailgating me, wouldn't he just fly over my car if I had done that, and again killed him instantly? Gosh, this one biker is just really stupid. So I realized the time, and that I couldn't joke around him even more due to the soccer game, I quickly exited onto Square Lake, but of course he kept following me. However, I lost him going 110 mph down Square Lake and I made a quick U to get back onto I-75. While I'm heading east on Square Lake, the biker was heading west still looking for me and as he saw me across the island, I just waved my hand good bye, smile and stuck my tongue at him because he had just gotten smoked, and outsmarted by your's trully. Again when it comes down to street racing, mess with the best die with the rest.
Then that leads to the soccer game, and as a team we played better this time around. I believe the upgrades of Ray, David, Chrissy, and Naomi helped out. I wish this was like football, because I wanna say I had the hit of the game, knocking down one of their guys on his back. I played a little more aggressive but now I need to help out even more on offense, as I blew 3 scoring opportunities. I hope Chrissy and Naomi had a great time and would be interested in joining Zion United. What sucked was that I kept cramping up and as I woke up this morning I felt like my body was broken in half. But I gotta suck up for tonight's v-ball action against the number 1 team in the league, Try Again then it's off to OU to play some more because I need to start scouting this year's competition for IM v-ball.
