Woooooooooooooo

Ok me dead tired about to pass out after pulling an all nighter. Was the grade that I got worth it, eh not bad considering I copied stuff from the book. Anyways I needs to bust to class before I get graded down. Hopefully Lucky Stiff will be tight tonight.

Ya know what I'm sayin

And IIIIIIIIIIIIII don't care about anyone else but me

Actually not because I got much love for everyone. Gosh what a headache this stupid PS paper is giving me. Then again it's my fault because I was the cocky one who tried to take the last exam with my cd player on and not studying for it. But dang it, I could careless about politics and the dynamics of federalism. Moving on, just got done taking another exam. And what do ya know, we can use our books and it happens to be that I leave my Hamlet book at home. Normally I wouldn't care too much but of course I wrote all my notes in that book :( Man hopefully I can pull a 3.0 on this exam at least. Now it looks like I need to pull an all nighter to get through with this GG of a paper. And what a bummer, play like crap last night during v-ball. The cool part is that I drilled another person in the face. Although it wasn't as powerful as I was hoping for. So sad, my shoulder feels messed up along with my wrist. But I am excited because Howard asked me to play in some league or tournament and it's for money. And only highly skilled players playing in these bad boys. It's a challenge I've been waiting for in a while now because my desire to play v-ball is a straight line with no competition on Tuesday nights and OU v-ball is over as well. Ok time to stop blogging and go home and do my homework :( Sad, yes I know.

Jigga

Finally it is Tuesday, and it is time for The Rattlesnake to lay the smackdown on a certain jabroni tonight......

Last night after Bible Study I just wanted to lay on my couch and die.It was just a long day of driving and so I'm chilling on the couch, awaiting my peaceful death. And then people gotta call me which was fine. My thought of the night is that, I wish girls could give you a heads up if they are like ya know going through there thang. That way I can stay clear of them till their little natural disaster is over. And sometimes when they air out their thoughts, then it gets me frustrated because then it would seem like I am always the core of their problem. That's why, it couldn't of happened better now that it is Tuesday. And tonight I'll be playing v-ball and getting my frustrations out on the ball. Especially on a certain particular jabroni because I felt like he was mocking me last week on a certain play that wasn't even mine. At first I was pissed but then I let it go because I feel like I do that to people too which isn't a good thing. However he started it so I will finish it tonight and that will be that. Yeah I know my life don't sound too exciting at this point now. Ya know with only 4 weeks left and 3 papers to write and 5 exams left and a group project. It would seem life don't get much better than this right?

If Ya Smell la la la la la la la owwwwwww What The Rattlesnake Is Cooking?

My Utmost For You

Yay, my cd that I bought from New Heart Music Ministries finally came in the mail this weekend. I love the last song on this cd despite it is all in Mandarin. I am doing my best to translate the words in this song. It is a real beautiful song about praising God. Woohoo my flu is going away and now all I have is this little wussy cough to get rid of and the sniffles :( And yesterday I took the longest nap ever when I came back from CBC. Let's see 4:30 hit the couch and wake up at 10:30 p.m. 6 hour nap does that even still constitue a nap anymore?

Friday was wierd because I'm training this new girl at work and I was thinking about all the girls in the past that I worked with and how much fun we always had. People from McKell, Lesley, Angie, Ronda, Lori, and Carla that I've worked with since I was a little punk. And Lesley came in on Friday with her mom to order. I was remembering that it was only a few years back that we hung out together and I had a little thing for her. I thank God for putting her in my life because I learned a lot about my feelings. And I can't believe that she is getting married soon, I hope I get to meet the lucky guy. Because Les reminds me a lot of Julia Roberts, but I'm happy for her. Anyways time to go to the doc's then time to hit the books because the next 4 weeks is gonna be a killer. Praise The Lord for Bible Study tonight though!

Jesus Shall Reign

Let the bodies hit the floor.....

Well since my flu is keeping me up, I thought I might do a late night blog before I try to drug myself up with Nyquil to fall asleep again. I thought I'd start off by saying We Are The Champions baby, for this year's OU IM V-ball league. Boy did it feel good to dethrone the champs. Comparing my team to last semester's team, this was a better team effort. Last semester's team, it was just me and Stan. But with this team everyone was important, and I give thanks to them all for doing such a great job. Playing with the flu was a killer because I got blocked by a tall chick like 2 or 3 times. I think what I enjoyed the most was playing with Melissa and Jane because we went to high school together and making a new friend in Nick who is a pretty good player. I haven't talked to Jane since her water girl days for our football team. And Melissa I hope we can take classes together because after all she is smarter than me. Nick, I'm looking forward to playing some beach v-ball with him this summer.

Gosh the flu must of knocked me silly though, because at certain points I would give a sign or say something in chinese thinking my setter is Joyce but it is Melissa. And she is like looking at me in a strange way. All in all it was fun playing with Melissa and Jane. However part of me wish Joyce and Lindsay were here because after all we've played together for a while now. Now that my season is done, I wish those 2 the best of luck in their league at MSU.

Before I end, I just wanna give thanks to God first for blessing me with such an awesome team and I hope that i lead this team in a righteous way. Also again thanks to Melissa, Jane, Nick, and Stan without any of them this team wouldn't of succeeded. I look forward to defending our title in the fall. OU all the way!

Losing Is Not An Option

We are, we are, the youth of the nation

Boy I love this 24 hour flu bug. Tuesday night I was feeling more sick so by Wednesday morning, I felt dead. But I kept taking some of my remedies and then boom by the time Vickie came over I felt a whole lot better. And now today I feel healthy again except a little mucus chilling down my throat every now and then. My mommy used to tell me it is because I eat too much yeet-hay stuff and that's the cause of my mucus now. Plus I haven't been eating much since eating Taco Bell on Monday night during Bible Study and then Tuesday afternoon with D. Moy. But boy did the flu drain me from eating because I'm starving right now. I can't till I get out of class and eat some yummy pad thai with Vics.

We watched Survivor last night, and I had to cry because Sarah was voted out. Gosh she is by far the hottest chick on that show. But there is still Gina and Neleh on the show and they are pretty cute too. But Sarah is so hot and I wanted to save this episode because it was her last. But thank goodness Vickie hit me and knocked me back to reality. Speaking of Survivor, my THA class has this group project to do. And our prof picked out the groups himself. So I'm like stuck with 9 other strangers that need to work together in order to get a good grade in this class. The group voted me to be the group leader of this project. We met again today and I really started to notice the different personalities in this group. There's Heather a cutie, and I think she brings energy to the group with her perkiness. Sallie is a mother and she is just a workaholic with great ideas. Julie is more on the passive side, but offers great ideas when we ask her. Dave has a lot of ideas, but I just don't follow him because his ideas are too far out there for me. Then there's Todd, who is more like just give me a task and I'll do it type of guy. Nicole is another cutie but gets too caught up on tangents. Jason is another guy like Todd, just give me the chore and I'll do it. And then there is Tony, he has only came to our meeting once let alone class as well. Every time we meet, dang it I always start off with hey let's vote off Tony because he has done jack squat in this group. But this is a fun Survivor group type project, where we are building unity and hoping to rely on each other for help and yet strive for that 4.0

Woohoo playoff time in v-ball at OU tonight. And if my team can't get pumped up for this then there's gotta be something wrong with them. Eerrrrr but I'll be playing sick though. What a game plan, have a bunch of Halls in my mouth. Championship baby all the way!

Can Ya Smell It?

Can you dig it suckaaaaaaaa?

Hmmm just some quick thoughts on things before I go out with Daniel Moy. Have you noticed that gas prices are being jacked up again lately? What the G squared is up with that? And going to Bible Study last night, was very rewarding because we talked about integrity and I feel I can improve on that. And why is my right shoulder still jacked up? Eerrrrr it better be ready tonight because I need to focus on playoffs for v-ball.

Just Bring It

I feel so alive
And I think I can fly

Ok so this past week has been a very humbling experience for me in v-ball and b-ball. First was the rematch with Andi's team on Thursday night. We took the first game but they followed up by taking 3 in a row. So the season series ends in a spilt 4-4. It will be interesting in how they seed us for playoffs now. Of course the matchup of Joey vs. me. Joey being the crowd favorite because as Jane thinks that he is a flamer, but he brings the crowd to watch him. So of course I'm portrayed as the villain in this matchup. What's worse is that they beat us because they are better defensively than my team. And Jane kept yelling at Stan for his lack of defense. She was right but I just wish you could of worded her words better. Then again as team captain I blame the lost on myself because I should of done more when the rest of the team was struggling.

Then came Saturday's b-ball tournament at MSU. First game I didn't even want to play because the team was crappy. And I rather conserve my energy for the more important games. But I played the last 5 minutes of that first game because I wanted to stay warm for when I actually do start in the big games. We set the tournament record in points for that first game with 82. Doubling the other team's score even though our goal was 100. The 2nd game was against the team that beat JC's team. Again they are just bigger so I chose to sit out of this one too because they weren't that great. After 3 minutes, boom they were ahead and JW and Bob's told me to get in because this team is for real. I played the rest of the game and hit a 3 pointer with 2 minutes left to give us a 1 point lead. But they came right back and drilled a 3 to take the lead. And in the end, we lost by 2 points. I was upset and again will take the blame for this lost. Because if I started instead of under-estimating my opponent then we would of won that game. What was worst was after the game when Sam had to wrap me up in ice around my ribs because I took a hard elbow in that area. I had problems breathing yesterday at church. And my neck, and shoulder are hurting as well from the fall I took when umm this big white guy just blinded sided body checked me into the ground.

I'm glad that I had enough energy to summon yesterday to stay for the entire New Heart Music Ministries. It has given me a new love and perspective towards music. And I still can't get over that P.O.D. is a Christian group.

Heart of Worship

Make me a superstar
Don't matter who you are

Gosh what totally sucks is that I am still in some sort of hitting funk on Tuesday nights. I mean I drilled another person in the face, but it wasn't that hard in my opinion because I didn't like the approach. What's worst is that I need to take lessons on how to set, sheesh I stink. Another thing is that I'm mad at the fact that I can't carry a team in 2's. Which means I still have a long way to go on learning all the tricks. And now my other knee hurts, urgh, gosh I wanted to work out today too and such a beautiful day to go jogging.

I do feel relieved though with 2 exams gone and not another one till the end of the month. Now I need to prepare to go to Spartan land for another MSU tournament. And for the first time ever, we have 2 teams representing in this tournament. It reminds me of the retreat message from last summer. Talking about editfication in building up each other. And it went on to talk about baseball analogy, saying that if we all want to be pitchers then the team would suck because everybody wants to play that position. Much like the body of a church, in that we should all serve in different ministries otherwise the church would fall. So with these 2 teams and I get it's that thing that people don't know their role and want to try to do more. It's one thing for a player to step up but it's another thing when people try to do too much. And boy is this a challenge because our championship team from the last 2 tournaments was Bobby, Milan, Ivan, Stan, and me. Now all that remains is me and Stan as everybody else has gone on with their careers. So it's exciting for the both of us to carry a bigger load than ever before. Hopefully God can use me to do my best to lead this team.

Watch Your Back

Up and down that lonely road of Faith
We've all been there

Hmmm one exam down and another to go today. Gosh I love these back to back exams. What sucks is that I was told by my professor that it was easy. But dude there were so many of those GG answers that seemed like it could be any letter. And now for the second exam I have no clue what the G squared it's about. I guess I better be busting out of here to study for this bad boy.

Also I never realized that Hong Hua was voted restaurant of the year. I'm still left wondering on how fat the bill was since we had that nice fat duck. I wish Kin would of let us pay for part of it. And how come Golden Harvest was not voted restaurant of the year :) Woo hoo v-ball nite tonight at good ol'CBC. I wonder if Melissa is coming with me? Then that's another skilled player coming, yay! The sad part is that Viv is gone to missions and I'll miss her dearly till she comes back. We always had fun joking on the court. My prayers go out to her while she is in China.

Screw the rules, play The Game!

They say I'm cocky
and I say what
it ain't braggin muthalover
if ya back it up

And that's the way I'm being looked at after this past weekend. Like Thursday night, my vs. Andi's team was the 2 best teams in the league going at it. Right from the get go you can sense the playoff intensity in the air. This also had the 2 MVP's from last sem going at it, me vs. Joey. It's nice to know they had their whole cheering crowd with them with signs and everything. After splitting the first 2 games at 1 a piece, my team finally pulled away to take the series 3-1. All I gotta say it was fun for me to keep look at all their friends and everytime I got a kill, I looked there way and and put my finger to my lips to silience the crowd. That was fun to shut them up because they get all cocky beating the crappy teams in the league. The sad part was I got blocked by some fat chick on there team. Man that was a humbling experience, however when it was time for me to serve I kept picking on her. She is actually a pretty good player but hey the bigger they are the slower they move. Is that mean, could be, but that's what you get when you mess with The Game. After picking on her for quite sometime I looked at their crowd and stared them while giving a little swagger in my walk. Also I was robbed of my pancake because the ref didn't think I got it. I could not believe that call but oh well I still lead the league in that too. Cocky? Nah! Confident? Yeah!

Saturday morning b-ball was another story, because it's been a while since I broke someone's ankles on a crossover. But it happened and man what a wipeout it was for him and I promise he won't be the last. But it is amazing to me that so many people try to talk trash, so to me it's like you start it but you can bank on it that I'll be the one to finish these wars. Again cocky? I prefer confident in this part of my life at least. Other things is another story.

Screw the rules, play The Game!

Holla that's what a pretty thug will do....

Well I'm excited that my time with God was very peaceful. Yet I'm still scared to trust and obey about certain things but what can I do ya know. He is in control of everything. I mean I was so pumped spitting out God's Word in front of my Lit class because I felt our professor was a little off in his Biblical knowledge. And it felt good to educate his monkey booty after this whole week of not spending time with God. And encouraged me to get my booty back into gear with God instead of moping around the house.

And tonight is a preview for of the finals possibly for our OU v-ball league. As my team plays the defending champs of last semester. And if anyone on my team can't get up for this game then they must have probs. I hope Melissa doesn't continue to over rate them as well. I just wanna stuff this one punk because he has his own little cheerleading section. That and I want to shut this team up because they get all jolly beating the crap teams in this league. There's gonna be a war tonight, and I'm gonna lead my team to battle.

Rappin I'm Da Kid about the dough

Everything's so blurry, everyone's so fake
It's like I'm paranoid lookin over my back
It's like a whirlwind inside of my head
It's like I can't stop what I'm hearin within
It's like the face inside is right beneath my skin.... and I'm sick of it. Gosh I hate how I think something I do won't cause me to fall from God but it has. It's like I'm fighting Satan by myself without God's help. And it is causing me to sometimes be mad, upset, or bitter to the people I love. I need to get my act together with God.

And last night was a decent night of v-ball. Seeing Sam, Sewa, Viv and Lindsay come back was a lot of fun. I can't believe that people were intimated by my team. Yeah with Chi, Howard, Chrissy, and Viv is a nice team, but if I were facing them I would love the challenge. Again though my body feels worn down, I'm guessing from too many back to back nights of playing. Also I'm in some sort of hitting funk on Tuesday nights in where I can't kill it straight down like the way I want to. Oh well, I should be concerned about my walk first before anything else for now.

The Power Of Good-Bye

Break The Walls Down......

What a rough morning kind of, just waking up right off the couch at 4 a.m. I must of fallen asleep after Raw but woke up at 4 a.m. because I was a little pissed off. I sat alone in my room trying to pray and think about why I am feeling like this or should I be feeling like this. I think I've realized that I need to start spending more time with God, because this past few days, I've kind of fallen away and tried to take matters in my own hands. The hardest part about following God is to trust and obey, and I keep trying to control things when God is the ultimately in control of everything. It makes me go back to that saying about God may be slow but He is always on time. So I need to start going back to trusting in His timing for all things to happen in my life.

Well one praise to God is I got my LIT exam back and what do ya know. I got an A- on that exam, that is like my first A since I got to OU. This is refridgerator material baby! Also I missed Bible Study last night again because I wanted to go check out this video at the Troy Public Library. And dang it, I don't have a card there so I had to go to Lindsay's to see if she wanted to go with me to the library. I'm glad that she went with me because, it made me think of all the times that we spent time chilling together last year and I really missed that. It's gonna be cool to see her tonight at v-ball, hopefully this will up the competition tonight. And hopefully my team is a team that is willing to play 100% with me. Because I know some people go there just to be like "hey I'm here for exercise". But uhhh if it is exercise you want then, why don't you go to fricking Bally's Fitness Club or Powerhouse Gym for exercise, sheesh. Anyways it's time to get down tonight and see who wants to play against The Game.

If Ya Smell What The Dragonslaya Is Cooking?

And why the GG is this girl sitting next to me keep laughing every time she sneezes? I mean does she think her boogers are funny looking? What a wierdo?

Can You Dig It Sucka?

Well my Spring Break is officially over now and I can't say that I did anything productive in a school sense besides did some reading. It sucks that I said I was gonna watch a play and do a paper on it for my THA class. But instead I go to school to ball with everyone in the Rec Center. Which was great because winners stay on the court and my team went 6-0 till the place closed up. Saturday b-ball has come to made me realize that I really can't play with certain people. Which sucks because I like to think I can play with everyone too. And remembering last year's Spring Break and how I spent it, I must say that I did better this year. Playing b-ball every other day vs. playing Magic last year is a whole lot better.

However, my body is taking a beating physically. I believe part of it is wearing me down mentally and spiritually as well. Then again being worn down is part of the game and I need to bulk up to handle the punishment I am taking. But it's wierd that some of my friends who are like only 2-3 years older than me, are talking to me about how they feel old in playing ball or that their body can't take it type stuff. Sheesh, I wonder if that's gonna happen to me like next year. Oooooooh heck no I am gonna be stronger than that. They don't call me The Kid for nothing on Saturday mornings. But why do people feel they are old already? What is up wit dat?

God Bless The Dead
