BeanTown - Well my head said Patriots, but my heart was for the Eagles. Never underestimate the heart of a champion. I am still satisfied with the Pats winning because they are a good team although I still wanted to see T.O. just dominate. As for Super Bowl party, well at first it was an all out homework party for myself.

However, I relived the memories of the past Super Bowl parties. Back in the day, Super Bowl Sunday, was off the hook for my cousins and I. We'd have peeps come over to play some backyard football. From there, we'd get ready for the game and afterwards we'd move on to playing SNES, StreetFighter, NBA Jam, and Bomberman. Those were the days, until tonight. We still watched the game, then we played some Texas, gosh how I miss that. Then we had a 4 hour game of 4 player Stratego, and I am still the cerebral assassin because I am still undefeated. Man I love those chess like deep thinking games. What's on tap for next week, it looks like we are busting out Risk 2480 A.D. Our longest game has been 7 hours plus on that one. Oh well, if I lose first then I can always do my homework early. These are the times I love spending time with my cuz and his peeps, playin ball, cards, video games, and board games. Man, it sucks how times like these are fewer and fewer.

I learned something else today and it is causing me to be bitter. I know deep down that it is for His glory, yet I am bitter. I hope this feeling goes aways and not eat me alive. Anyways time for bed as I just got home.

Sons of Scotland

Poster Child - Man, this morning the Atlanta Hawks came to OU to ball and I was stuck in class without ever knowing. Lance told me tonight that some idiot was talking trash to Tyron Lue and challenged him to 1 on 1. Anyways, I had to work the scoreboard tonight and I was watching Kelly William's team play. Kelly use to play on the OU B-ball team, and on this rebound he just grabbed it in mid-air and threw it down hard. He flew so high that he almost jumped over a player and the crowd was going nuts. I mean Kelly already shattered 1 backboard already this season, man if I had hops like that.

I also found out tonight that next week I will be going around campus to promote the new IM V-ball season. Woohoo, and I get to revamp the rules too so USAV here we come for this semester. I think Karrie, KareBear is coming with me to promote v-ball. Man with so many things building up on my plate, I really need to be more disciplined with how I use my time. I have even let some things cut into my QT time too.

So the party has been called off at B's this Saturday because he got the flu. With so many things going on, I haven't been able to join the guys for Texas literally everynight either. So the tentative plan for this Saturday is to hang out @ Hooters. I can't believe some of the girls are not even sweating this one. Although, Shauna is coming over here @ 3:00 a.m. on Saturday/Sunday morning after work so we can work on our project together. Man am I gonna be drained come Super Bowl Sunday.

One Call Away

Free Smells - Yesterday @ Cranbrook Monica, and Julie decided that we were not going to teach as they wanted another week. I come back into the room leading a bunch of 6th graders in, and all eyez were on me because our trainer just dropped the ball to me to teach since they did not want to do it. It went alright I guess, cool part was they could just casually talked to me compared to some of the others from OU. It's good to be The Kid ;) Finally, OU got a Jimmy John's on campus too! Mmmmmm Bootlegger Combo! Speaking of which, of course in EED 470 I sit in my assigned seat. Now this old motherlover has transferred into my class whom I cannot stand along with others at my table. I mean this lady just butts in on convos' and talks about random stuff. I could not take it anymore because I was about to go off. I got so bad that I did not even make eye contact with her anymore because she kept trying to talk to me while I was doing my work. So I decided to get up and with my prof's permission, I now sit in the corner of the room all by myself. Well at least Shauna said she will keep me company next week.

Last night @ OU IM Work: convo of the night- Karrie giving us Jon and I a health tip.

Karrie: Did you know that drinking a gallon of water a day is bad for you.
J & Me: hahahahahaha, that is retarded. Oh wait, our heart is flooded with water, ugh ugh, hahahaha.

Oh no, Howard is hurt again so I will have to make my comeback to v-ball a lot quicker than expected too. Man I am so behind in emails too, and time to go to class now.

Nobody's Home

Suicidal - Man what a long meeting that was last night, yet quite entertaining. At least we all got paid in the end and why do so many teams forfeit their games. It like frustrates me like no other, because then I am sitting there not reffing, or scorekeeping and I don't bring my homework there to do. Anyways, Darko's Fan Club is now 5-0 baby after another W last night. I played a lot longer in terms of minutues, but man I was still sucking wind badly. My legs were so worn out at the end of the game that I was falling short on every jumper, and free throws. So now I am thinking bout running suicides everynight to get my conditioning and endurance back. Gosh sitting it out for 2 weeks could not of made me this out of shape! Such grrrnessss city too, that I have to work tonight and miss out on 5:14! It is one thing to work, but I have to do the boring job tonight and signing people in for All-Star B-ball. Anyways, Kristyn and I signed our squad back for IM V-ball this semester and I'll be pushing myself to see if I can make it 10 straight Finals appearance while going for a 6th championship. So with this semester being 6's and going for a 6th title, our team name this semester is, 6-Pack.

The new goal is to get 100% healthy and back on track with conditioning by April. Now that I'll be ballin in the 2 day B-ball tournament in Pontiac, and first place is $1000. Following that weekend, will be the MSU tournament. Hmmm there is Bee's party this Saturday too, it's going to be crayzay that night. Oh poop, time to go to Cranbrook for work!

Live Like You Were Dyin

The Return - I'mmmmm baaaaacckkkkkkk ;) Back in many ways and let's start with today at Magahay. For the first time ever, I felt like I had one of those cubicle jobs because all I did the whole day was sit at the computer and punch in 2 weeks worth of grades. However, the cool part is I decided out of my boredom it was time for recess, heheeheh. One of the many powers of being a teacher, go outside for recess! However, I found myself surrounded by a lot of the 6th grade girls chatting with me. Today, I spent a good portion of my time building a relationship with Jackie. Gosh she reminds me so much of my Jackie back at Edmonson. I even showed her a pic of her to see the physical resemblence. I also spent an hour after school chatting with Kim, the Special Ed teacher. I know a lil bit more on how to help Jackie improve in school and she told me she feels comfortable coming to me for individual help/counseling. Her I.E.P. is coming up next Wednesday so I am highly considering skipping a day at Cranbrook and class to attend.

How else am I back? Finally, off the IL as of Saturday, but I must admit there is some truth to what Dr. Steve recommends, rest. I feel a whole lot better although not 100% yet and I can not sit out any longer. I played in my first OU Co-Ed game tonight, and I let the stats do the talking, 11 pts., couple of rebounds, couple of steals, couple of assists, and a couple of blocks. All in a short amount of time because I wanted to cut short my minutes. I got that swagger back just scoring the first 5 pts. in 3 minutes. What sucked was my conditioning, man was I sucking air a lot. Never realized 2 weeks of nothing could turn into this, so I gotta get my conditioning back. So for 1 whole week, I am not drinking any pop just water, gatorade, and juice. So I'll be hitting the weight room too, to help with this.

Tuesday night, we are to have an OU IM Staff Meeting at 10 p.m.! Dude I just want to head home at that point. V and Kristyn have already told me that as Supervisors they will be chewing some of us out for doing a poor job. They said I am not on that list, well other than not wearing my uniform, but come on now I look better in my b-ball gear :) So it will be a long meeting, and Kristyn and I already noticed G looks pissed tonight and must be preparing for tomorrow's wraith on everyone. Man I wonder if it will be a bad time to ask for a switch in shifts?

Let's Go
