Finally, The Great One has come back to Michigan. Last year I went to NYC and it was a lot of fun because I got to do a lot of things on my own. This year, at the last moment I decided to allow my parents to go with me. I weighed out the pro's and con's of travelling with my parents to NYC. What sucked was not everything I had planned to do went through. However, their were highlights of this trip:

Performing 2 Fast 2 Furious along I-80, boy that Penn State drive never seemed so long after pushing the Yukon to it's limits.

Seeing family in NJ, and other family in the Queens area.

Driving past the Jehovah Witnesses HQ.

Walking around Queens's Chinatown.

Paying mad money, each time I drove through a tunnel or bridge.

Well their's more but I don't want to bore anyone with it.

However, I did come back last night right in time to take a couple hour nap then heading off to work. I really wanted to sleep in, but the thought of not being there, made me think of what if the kids forget about me and label someone else as their favorite counselor.

So I went to work, then in the middle of the day I decided to take a chance. That chance was that I leftwork in the middle of the day to drive around Detroit. I came back an hour later thinking, eh the kids most of chosen one of the other counselor's to lead them. When I got back though it was different, I guess the other counselors were trying to be the kid's number 1 counselor. But all the kids rebelled, and were chanting my name as I came back. Some of the counselor's are trying cheap gimmicks and pops to try to be that number 1 counselor.

The fun part, had to be when camp was about over. Ayinde was about to leave and he was trying to get the kids sympathy because he was leaving. Except the thing was everyone was cheering that he was leaving, and the kids were chanting out "We want The Great One to be our counselor." The millions and millions of my peeps were telling me how they love me as their counselor. I asked some of them why is that? They had various answers, but a funny one was from some of them was how I look. They like how I do my hair, and how I come in with my shades on. So today I decided to come in later to work knowing that I am and will forever be The Great One, in addition to a bad boy 4 life.

Dream

Well I remember right about this time I was sitting at the rest area and chilling. I think I was bored and needed a break from the neverending state. What's sad is that I have yet to pack and I plan on leaving in a couple of hours. This year, I plan on flying through Niagara Falls, just to revisit that place, plus see if there is any place that I can pull a 2 Fast 2 Furious with anyone on the 401 or 403.

Today, I took my kids to the Detroit Zoo. I now remember why I hate the Detroit Zoo. It's because we have no exhibits what so ever. The best part about today was that it was 95 degrees Fahrenheit and I got to stay outside all day with my kids. Because of all this, I got more a reddish darkish tan going on. Oh well, I just like staying outside when the heat is on. I felt bad for my kids though because they couldn't stand it.

And now it is time to watch my Pokemon fest, I am thinking about watching Pokemon 1,2, and 4 before I leave.

Don't Want To Try

Last year, at this time I was packing like crazy and making sure I have everything to go to NY. This year, I'm just kind of blah, I'll pack and leave whenever I want to. Actually I can't do that anymore since my hotel is in Times Square, just booked that sucker today.

Just got done watching T3, where I was hoping it would be a little better than that. One thing about that movie that got me thinking was, destiny. I used to think things happen because of mere coincidence. Later I realized that it is all in God's planning about how things work out. As I fly down I-80, no doubt this will be on my mind with just how certain things will work out. It's kind of like a fork in a road, you wonder which fork you take. If anything you would like to find out the result of both, but can only choose one.

Oh well, time to go to bed. I'm excited to get to take my kids to the Detroit Zoo today! Also I was talking to the Natalie today because she was wondering how come each table has 2 counselors while my table is just me. I showed her why with this convo we had today:

K: What's with your kids being out of control?
N: Like your's are any better?
K: Well let's see what you're gonna do about it.
N: Ok, my table can you please bequiet and I'll give you each a sticker.
K: Please, cheap gimmicks ain't gonna buy my kids.
N: Prove it!
K: My table, sit down, heads down, eyes closed, and mouth shut!
N:........
K: I don't need cheap rewards to buy my kids to behave.

It's all about being The Children's Champ. Oh one last thing, dude why do people keep putting sick images on their websites? Gosh some of these things make me want to hurl.

Hero

I don't know what has gotten into me lately. For the past 3 days now, I have yelled or snapped at someone. I've noticed my fuse with people have gotten a lot shorter. Today, I felt like my boss was giving me some lip, so I went right back at her in front of the kids. My boss asked me to step outside with her to discuss the matter. All the kids were chanting my name, like I was gonna lay the smackdown or something. Everything's all cool with me and my boss, but after thinking about it, I couldn't believe I blew up at her even when we were outside. I guess it continues to show my weakness, is my problem with authority figures.

I also had to put up with Yaya's lip as well. I'm about an inch away laying the smack on her as well. I'm tired of her thinking she's like so much better than me. However, she finally broke down with a smile towards me as Day Camp came to an end. I guess my charm is starting to wear on her or something.

Here's another thing that is starting to really annoy me, are construction workers. It's like I have to put up with so much construction traffic in the morning that it is causing me to just having thoughts of running them down with my car. I'm thinking that they must be the most hated people on the road or something.

With my short fuse, it just comes at the right time that I go on my own to NYC. I think the time away from here will be nice. Walking around the streets and riding the subs on my own will give me a chance to calm down. My goal is to go to Rucker Park to play some ball, just to see how well I match with the greatest street ballers in the world. Then I plan on going back to Central Park to play some 2's. Man last year watching those players play was unbelievable and I want to test my skills. Too many distractions, and too many people irritating me, has lead me to just leave for a little bit. When do I come back, well I plan on doing the unthinkable like last year. Which was leaving NYC, Sunday afternoon and drive to return straight to work on Monday morning. Or should I come back early, and come back in time for Sunday worship?
