Ultimate Warrior - Whoop, 3-12 to end this week of v-ball leagues. Ewww what an awful win %, however I am reminded that through our trials we grow stronger. Tonight, was the first time I played in the Dumar's league with Jane and Sam. Dude, this league is all about couples in all sorts of forms. But the thing is, they all play on different teams because they are all so competitive. Last week, I ran my mouth off so I have a target on my back now. Today, I kept it shut because the time for talk has ended. Throughout the night I noticed in the stands that, all eyes were on me as we played the #1 team. Now, I have got everyone's respect and that I can back up my talk. I also told the other team they couldn't stop me, which was true but as Sam said our own team stops us. Which is freaking frustrating, but I was able to smile throughout the night because I silenced the haters. The ref even talked to me about the load I have to carry to keep our team close.
However, it I am to push myself to another level I believe Howard is right. I have to do 2 things in order for me to go higher. First off, is I gotta stop playing in all these popsickle stand leagues whether it is Dumars, Social Club, Troy, B-Woods, etc, and move on to pick-up on the Westside. The 2nd thing is, I gotta start getting contacts to wear during game time. Oi, my eyesight isn't getting any better seeing the ball from far away. I can barely see the fingers Howard holds up so I know what I am hitting. Man it scares the crap out of me just thinking of touching my eyeball.
Finally, I am such an idiot today as I went to student teach with Katie at her school, Ottawa Elementary School. I was making slime, for the kids to play with. The directions said, add 4 cups of water. Katie's measuring cup, marked off 4 cups exactly at the top. However, I had a brain fart, and I accidentally added in 4 literal cups of water! Katie kept making fun of me because now I had 16 cups of water instead of just 4 cups. Oi, was I dumb in front of her class or what?

Are You Still Standing? - In 2 nights, I have played 9 games of v-ball leagues. Yet I've only won 3 of them, which stinks. I have a target on my back in the Dumars league as I've been told for running my mouth. This should be a good challenge, hooking up with Jane and Sam on this team. 3 Titans on a team, and I wonder how good Sam is? After all she was voted Most Athletic for females when we were seniors. We also had our battle of the sexes in b-ball, so this should be fun I hope.
I feel as if either my image, integrity, or reputation has been killed within a particular group of people. Over the years, it has been like home to me almost and now I don't know if I can say the same. Have I laid quiet long enough to continue to let others do wrong? I am ok if the hatin is on me because there is nothing I can do about that. However, when you teach others to do it or accept it then I have a problem. I have come back to try to put the wrong things right, one person especially after all these years I have served with him in all of God's ministries. I thought I've been patient enough to wait this out and hope He will mold other's hearts. I still have hope that it can happen, but not if people stay in their comfy boat and not look out of it. I just ask the other toy soldiers to do what's right and stay in the back line. Rumors and gossip, I wonder how CBC would be held up in that light as described in Revelations? I just ask Him to continue to provide me with facts and wisdom so that I may not go on assumptions.
Time to try and sleep on it for a couple of hours before going to Katie's.

Spoilers - Another v-ball league down, and only 4 to go in this semester. Congrats to Chisholm for knocking us out, 3-2 playoff series. Man, I feel like it's all my fault for losing, I mean only 1 more win to get back into the Troy Finals. I just put my shirt over my head after shaking hands, man I blew some easy ones. Just couldn't carry the team tonight :(
Today, at Magahay I met Kristin Glasgow! Well I didn't even know who she was, but I know she is famous for something because she came to speak to my class and all the kids asked for her autograph. I spoke with her afterwards, because she is the same age as me, graduated from Magahay, and OU. I gotta admit as my teacher said "She is hot", because she was. All the kids were teasing Kristin and I when we were talkin because they thought we were flirting with each other. However, I told the kids that she is too good for me. But imagine that, going out with a future celeb. She is holding a concert at Magahay and I wish I could go too! Although Larry Brown is coming to Magahay next week :)
So this has been on my mind for awhile now. What I don't like bout some CBC kids, is that they are taught wrong. Granted I am not a parent or anything, but it really irritates me when parents come into Jr. Church to get their kid out for Chinese School. Then some parents tell their kids how to act with others when it ain't even Biblical. So good parenting I guess does not come from The Bible. I mean, for example this mother asked me if her child can jump ahead of everyone else for hot chocolate since he had to go early for Chinese School. At first, I said no because I told her flat out this is for kids who earned in my class. Hmm let me check how many times your kid came to class, uhh bout 4 times in 3 months. She kept insisting that her son gets hot chocolate. So I gave in, only to offer him my test sample which tasted like butt and P Nutz can attest to that. Man that mother needs to stop trippin bout her son getting what he wants, and that is why he misbehaves in Jr. Church cuz he is a spoiled lil booger.
Which leads me to this, parents who give their kids non-Biblical advice. They know who they are, and I am thankful that my integrity is held strongly within the Mandarin side. So until I get all the facts, I may rock the boat in this direction. Yes, He calls us to obey our parents however and I mean HOWEVER, I am pretty sure there is a verse like in Psalms where it says do not follow your parents if it causes you to sin. It is just irritating and I tell ya how do they expect their kids to be godly young adults when they themselves are gossiping, and spreading rumors. Please, I ain't the only one who needs to do the checkin.

Rabies - So things have been heating up with me and this guy Andy in my ED classes. I just can't stand the guy, because he tries so freaking hard to get attention. I think we're at the point where deep down we just can't stand each other. I mean here you have a guy who is bout a year older than me, wears his bottle cap glasses sometimes, has this balding spot in his head, and just is a flat out gump trying to act like he is all hard. The other day I reminded him that he grew up in G-Pointe. Last week, I found out that he went to our boss at Cranbrook to tell him that his group were the best teachers at Cranbrook. I was just like pshhh when I heard all dat. So this whole week, I've been humbling him in all sorts of ways and reminding him who is the real People's Champ. Here are the plays of the week:
1) EED 305 - We all had to draw posters of certain things to talk bout Science safety in a classroom. Well I drew this guy, with a bald spot, and glasses having no clue how to pump gas illustrating the point of why we don't smoke at gas stations. Peeps started to crack up because some figured out that it was Andy whom I drew looking so stupid, since all the other characters represented someone in class.
2) Cranbrook - B-Ham Holy Name Elementary School had a field trip today. As the day went on, both 6th grade classes just started chanting my name. At one point, Andy told them to boo me when I walked in to teach and cheer for Julie and Monica. Well, they got louder for me, and I just did the Sheed so Andy could see and hear the chants. I also made Andy aware of which one of us actually got invited to go to their school to visit. In addition, I was selected as favorite teacher, and class that I taught there. So many kids kept saying they were inspired by what I used to teach that they went to the gift shop to buy the same things. Plus the kids wrote letters to their teachers to ask me to come visit too. Big piece of humble pie to Andy, who declared himself as the best teacher at Cranbrook.
3) EED 302 - When I do things in this class, I do it because I don't agree with our prof. Peeps find it funny because I will challenge my prof's authority. At the same time, Andy just tries to be funny so he can get the attention from everyone. Well, I got a laugh from his crew, and he kept telling them that it wasn't funny what I did. However, they told him that it was.
4) EED 302 - How much I dislike Andy? Well we were suppose to be in the same groups for our Math project. We already know that we do not like this other girl because she seemed wacked to us. However, I switched out of that group to hook on to Kim's because if I was in that group any longer, I'd probably knock Andy out eventually. However, his face of shock was so funny because now he has to do more of the work. Which eventually means he is screwed.
After all that went on this week, by today he has been more than transparent bout how much he dislikes me. Which is fine by me, because I just brush it off cuz I can do that now with a smile :)
My Jr. Church kids are soooo sweet too, Jessica, Anna, Emily, Daniel, and Andrew all wrote me a letter to my house.

Reloaded - I am back again, finally on the internet. Most peeps know why I haven't been on for a week now. But I figure I'll fill peeps in for those who don't know. Pretty much my computer had a corrupted file which caused my computer to crash. Thanks to Stan, and his 4 hours plus working on my computer tonight, he brought it back to life. However, I still need to finish installing a few more things.
As I do that, I am also in the process of trying to get caught up with blogs, xangas, email, fantasy sports, etc.... This past week, I never realized how much I depend on the internet. I felt so out of the loop when I could not contact peeps via email or read peeps blogs to find out how they are doing. At the same time, it really is sad though that because of this technology sometimes friendships are more superficial through it. Some peeps just don't feel they have "time" to drop a dime or pick up their line.
I honestly think the week of isolation has really given me a chance to cool off. There is a certain number of peeps pissing me off, I'm thankful for Monica for listening the other night. Woohoo she has cable now and a new laptop! Anyways, I still gotta take care of some business. Oh wait one last thing, man this is why I like it now when JJ or PapaWong cut my hair cuz they know what they are doing. Should of never let this senior touch my hair too much, oh well at least I can sports the rags and visors now.
