Giver - Today was a fun day at the Bobcat Center because I ran the show. In my less than 2 weeks of being there, it seems like my name is quite popular now. I get high 5's from students that I don't even know, kids callin out my name from the other end of the hallway, and some poppin into my office just to say hi. It's like high school again for me except that I'm the teacher :)
I have grown close to the Asian community here, because I know a lot of them outside of school. There are a few Canto kids that I have Canto conversations with at school. This is a place I would not mind teaching if God does not want me to go to elementary level. Majority of the staff treat me like family already, and I do look forward goin to work, it is just the wakin up part is the hardest.

5 'Ships Drive - So last night we went to Game 2, and we had things that bothered us at the game. My beef is as I was walking around BW's, why do people bother coming to the game, and eat BW's in the lounge? Like ya could of saved so much money just ordering carry out at BW's and eating it at home.
Then we had these 2 old folks sitting next to us. First they arrived, halfway through the 2nd quarter. Second, they didn't even know what time the game started. Third, they kept gettin up to go somewhere, I felt like I did more standing in the aisle then sitting in my seat. Lastly, they didn't even watch the game, it seemed like they were conducting a business meeting!
The Asian B-ball Tournament is back but now it is in C-Town. I felt like we lost our homecourt advantage when I heard that. No more restin at Stan's place in between games no more. This time around, every player must be Asian. First place has been upped, to $1500 to the winners. There is a reason why things happen, I guess this is why I am at school when no one else is there training. Maybe that's why Afro-Nation keeps comin to bring it every Saturday. Now there is a date with HPBC too, time for everyone to put their money where their mouth is.

Seoul - I was checkin out all those groups against Cho, actually some of them were quite funny. It's the ignorant people that now think all Asians or Koreans are evil. I've read some idiots being racist and others tryin to help the situation by remindin them this is not a time for hate. Oddly enough, one of My Fishy's "friend" who I now consider an idiot now had to jump in to only show his ignorance.
Mama Wong, emailed me this mornin giving me insight of what I should do at work. She reminded me that everyday is an interview to everyone, so I made my rounds and really developed relationships with the staff. I'll mention one teacher who God has blessed me with is G-Mase, because I told how it was cool the kids have morning Bible Study in his room before school. Then he got all excited because we now know we are fellow bro's in Christ. He shared with me other staff members who are saved, and how they have Bible Study on Friday morning before school. We share a lot of the same teachin philosophies too, and he is hopin that I can find a full time teachin position at the Bobcat Center. I plan on popping in at the next student Bible Study next week, this is just too cool.
Then I was talkin to our evening Custodian, and she said it was cool that I workout and shootaround in the gym. She's got the key to open everything up and informed me about there is a group of guys on Wednesday nights who come out at night to play and are lookin for other players. It sounds like it is time to represent CBC in Troy. I got the Va. Tech tatted and ready to go.

Hokies - We had a moment of silence at the Bobcat Center this morning. Today, I was reading all the articles of past school shootings, and a lot of them were because like a student didn't make the cut or something. Now, honestly I've had thoughts about a certain prof of mine would die or something, but ya know I never acted upon. It was those thoughts that motivated me to show the prof up and just do the best that I can to show that he/she can't hold me down. So to those who struggle with that, suck it up, the real world ain't gonna give you everything. No need to take innocent lives because ya couldn't hack it.
Moving on, I miss 1 week of b-ball to go on vacation, and I come back to see CBC is taken over by the Afro-Nation. I mean these Cats were comin out of the woodworks, there was like 15 plus of them in the gym. I look forward to playin their best squad next week, as Bobby said "those guys just bring the intensity up and we need to out think them." You could see the fire in our eyes between Bob's, Stan, and myself we just wanted them. As I told one of the other CBC peeps, this is a man's game right here. I hope this Saturday my squad is with those who are ready to go to war.
I laughed at the Big Cat who was dunking like crazy, he kept tryin to stare people down. It pissed me off every time he dunked he would do a flyin kick slamming the Men's Bathroom wide open. Next time, I plan on challenging him up on the rim and blockin his punk butt because I ain't scared. Then there is Doughboy because he just a big piece of Fat, Dark Chocolate grabbin on my jersey so I can't move. Plus he kept talkin trash to my soon to be Dirty South boy Wee, and I just let him if ya gonna talk, bring it to someone who will bring right back, and a lil elbow just to know he needs to shut up.
So if they come this Saturday, it's gonna be another battle and I need tru souljahz out there with me.

Throne - Well I survived my first day of officially being at work. I was excited to seeing a lot of kids coming in this morning for help, then I made my rounds to visit those who I haven't seen yet. The staff has been nothing but friendly to me since I've been there. I found out today that one of my students, Momo was in Vegas last week too! She stayed at Bally's but she arrived there as we left there.
My day died really fast after the 1st hour. For the majority of my time today, I spent it on checking a lot of fantasy sports, I had a long email convo with Pekkle, and read the sad news about Va. Tech. Another suck part was not being able to check F-Book since it has a security thingy on it.
In the end, I look forward to the rest of my time at the Bobcats center. My plan tomorrow is to make my rounds seeing my 7th graders now.
