Rewind - The week has been crazy filled with sleepless nights and sleepfull days. One thing I miss already is my boy, Erick. I am the B & P champ of 2 K 4 and we'll always have Triple H in Blade 3. Another thing I am not looking forward to as well is Jo leaving in less than a week now!

So with the year ending as I'll be partyin at Steve & Cat's place, I'm gonna look back on 2K4. I'm gonna do this without looking back at any old posts so the beginning months will be a complete blank.

Jan. - Student teachin @ Edmonson, still miss the kids and was the best experience for me.
April - G-Pa's 80th B-Day bash, man saw lots of peeps that night, even cooler went to NYC after the party.
May - Back to NYC with my parents, gotta love a road trip!
June, July, August - Lots of memories of the summer, I-Robot was a night to remember. Then there was the family vacation to Seattle/Vancouver which I still love and miss. Going to Toronto 4 times in that 3 month span as well. Runnin ACA in the D, while ACA in the C was fallin apart. I'm thankful for my crew Reylan and Stef D for helping me making our camp tight. At the same time, I'm glad I have constructed a bridge with some of the C-Ton peeps. Playin grass v-ball, and letting things ride out how they are today.
Sept. - CCUC Tournament in Chicago baby! Wierdest moment, comin back home and sleepin in the same rest area as Alan and Naomi but not knowing it. Best was leavin at midnight in my own terms of peace out. Also seeing Joyce's Kraft pad as well, and greatful she was there as usual helping me with the logistics.
Oct. - Harvest Night was fun, playing in the moonwalk with BooBoo.
Nov. - Hmmm, uh b-day? Well Thanksgiving, but that wasn't even the same.
Dec. - Spending time with Jo before she goes. My sis's graduation and makin fun of Sparty peeps. Time with Emoy, was again great as well!

Well, my mind has drawn a blank now, phew too much thinking involved! Oh well, see y'all in 2K5.

Don't Tell Me

Ahchoooey - Wow, I think yesterday was the worst I ever felt in a long time. Tuesday night, I started noticing that I was about to get sick. I just had that feeling when I was playing v-ball at West Bloom. but never did I imagine it would down like this. I think it started off with just how the temperature kept flucuating in the gym. The heat was turned on to 70, but every now and then it would do an auto shut down. It was hard to maintain a consistent body temp. when you have 9 teams waiting for 3 courts. I don't know what is it with my hair or is it because I am just shorter than everyone else? But everyone loves to rub my hair/head because I'm like the little kid on the court. Anyways, I got what I wanted that night respect to play against the best and mentioned as one of the elite. Going at S.S. 3 matching some of those guys and afterwards talking to me about W.L. "the best of the best" league was much coolios. However, again the gym effect at times it felt like it was 100 with the body temp and the heat, then auto shut down it felt like it was 20.

So Tuesday night, coming home from the airport I started noticing my health was getting worst. I blasted the heat in the car, and my sis was literally sweating bullets. While I still felt cold, and my body was becomin numb. I evaluated myself at home, to see that I got the flu, fever, chills, migraine, dizzy spells, and body numbness. So what did I do on Wednesday? Well out of a possible 24 hours, I slept for an actual 23 hours! The most I ever slept in a day, I mean that was like wasting a whole day to me. The only time I got up was either to pee, or I actually tried watching the Pistons game but then I fell back asleep. I have yet to had time to put away all the cool Denver Nuggets gear my sis bought me yet. Man my stomach, hurts too because I only ate a couple slices of small beef yesterday and taking all those meds, blah. Although today is a new day, and for the most part I am almost healed thanks to the Lord. Now I just want to go out, but do I even dare too, but it does look fun to drive out right now with all that snow!

Senzu Beans

Walleye Slayer - I wasn't gonna post but since it's like past 3 a.m., I was catching up on other peep's site. Now as most peeps know I am an aggressive driver, but what you don't know it is usually out of reaction. Today, was no different as I was driving on M-59 leaving Lakeside. I'm cruising down the middle lane, as both the left and right lanes were backed up. Then this red truck, swerves from the left lane and cuts me off in the middle lane. I slammed my brakes to gather myself, oh and you can sure bet that it was on now. I zipped through traffic just to catch him, neck and neck at a red light. I demanded him to roll his window down, so we can have a little chat. He kept apologizing to me and since it's Christmas I forgave him. I just told him not to do it again, because next time he could kill someone, and that I'll be watching him. I don't like punks who think they own the road by cutting off the innocent ones.

I played some v-ball at KUMC, and I had a funny convo with DenDen. It went something like this:

D: Man I keep forgetting I am not 20 years old anymore.
K: But you're 27, so you're still in your 20's.
D: It sure doesn't feel like it.

As I was reading others, I see that CGC will be entering the CCUC tournament in 2K5. And they are gonna be ballin over break together to gear up for it. With break approaching, it will be a balancing act for me to heal physically (ankle, knee, and shoulder) while preparing myself to get ready for the 2nd half of the season.

I kept thinking of the ladies of the G-House today too. I wish I had a video tape to record everything because it's just such a good reminder for myself.

Pink & Black Attack

Rewind - Deja vu, it seemed like today as I got an unexpected call at CBC today. I looked at my phone, and it read "Mommy" and all I could think about was something happening to my G-Ma. I hesistated to answer at first, fearing what I did not want to hear but thank goodness it wasn't as bad as last time. However, this time it was both my grandparents being sick in bed and just way too ill to eat. I bought the meds, and then my aunt came over as well to cook while I explained the meds to both of my G-Parents. One thing that has been positive about this, is the fact that I am starting to regain some of my toy-san abilities back. Man looking at my G-Pa, his nose was like Niagara Falls. My G-Ma ate a lil rice, while my G-Pa had a cookie and they both went to bed while my aunt left. I decided to stay, to wrap gifts for the kids, and had my own QT. 3 straight hours I stayed there for, the longest in a while. Felt so wierd being alone, knowing this was once where I could of called home minus my sis, Alan, and Wendy. I even went for a quick run, outside in my b-ball gear when it was 4 degress out to bring back some old memories. I do pray that they will get better, and that salvation is in His plan.

G-House - Then I left for the Genesis House, meeting up with everyone else from CBC. This I will be flat out honest about all my emotions throughout this time. I was discouraged as we were about to leave from CBC seeing nobody from either of the adult fellowships, mainly Ambassadors and 5:14. Although I was encouraged by the fact that we had more peeps from the Youth Ministry than both of the other fellowships combined. As soon as I walked into the G-House, I embraced everyone as they did the same with me and things started clicking for me. As D-2 said tonight, "God is good, and Randy was the man tonight." We sang carols, and we opened it up for sharing time. When the ladies shared their testimonies, it just put me to shame. I mean, every single lady was just fighting (in a good way) with each other just to share their testimony. Their testimonies were so genuine, and real compared to like mine, that talks about work or school every time. I mean tears were shed, and my heart could feel it and I felt so ashamed of my own faith. I can't think of the last time, I heard from any CBC fellowship that was just so open to share all at once. These ladies did as much sharing about how God has blessed them as much as we all do staring at each other hoping someone could share so the other does not.

I'm glad my Chou Boyz came, and again I love Chris and the relationship we have. We were talking outside of the G-House, and I was talking bout my childhood raised in these areas, while he said he had it rough in Novi. Man he cracks me up, and he goes on to explain bout how Novi weather is colder. Randy also changed the structure up, as we had prayer time together. I was thankful that all the kids circled around me and we had "K Dawg's Story Time." Gracie D, Nene, Booboo, Peewee, I-Ching, Claire and Miles all made a new friend, Joshua. Man this kid reminds me so much of Christopher, but African-American. Booboo did a great job without the Tan sisters playin the violin. Gracie D, Claire, and I also had funny conversations about a lot of things as well. I also got a chance to talk to Cory, and I was happy to see him come out as well. I love Booboo and her new glasses too, she's so cute and helpful too. Dave was tickling the ivory as usual, boy got some serious skillz on that. We stayed longer than expected, but nobody cared because tonight's experience was unexplainable that this was a glimpse of heaven, His Spirit was felt tonight and was what warmed the hearts of everyone.

Finally, I'll be rocking a new pink and black bracelet thanks to Jo. I love this Christmas present and it means a lot to me. Can't wait for the unveiling as well ;) I also praise God too, for blessing me with a great friend in Linz and the offering.

Primetime

Rockin The Boat - Today was an eventful one, well first no more Survivor for the rest of this year! Man, it sucks because none of my final 4 picks made it as the winner. I believe it is still one of my goals in life is to play in Survivor. I took my sis to the airport today, so she can fly out to Denver. I hope she gets me my Kenyon Martin jersey that I asked for :) K-Mart!!!!! Afterwards, I went back to the past, to settle some unfinished business. It was in the air, and I could smell it too S.Fox had returned. Oh well, I'm sorry to Annie I'm not an offski, nor a dutchmen. I'm CBC and I ain't ever comin back. I thought that would set the tone for the night but He continues to put peeps in my life. I went to FCS, and I ran into Dave from KUMC and we chatted about how things have been going. I'm bummed though that they haven't been playing v-ball because I was really hoping they would be a lot stronger too. As I continued my shopping at FCS, then I ran into Tari from the Ambassadors Crew so we chatted for a little. Come home to see the Pistons win, and nothing beats a night when all my original YTF girls are online. Hope Jubilee ;) has a safe and fun trip throughout break. Man, still can't get over my big twitch with what I learned today though. I'll give a woot woot too because Electra is coming to the Eastside this Saturday ;0
