Silly Lily, The Kid, Court Jester
My Lil Munchkin
Tweety - My freshman year at SVSU, I remember driving up 75 in Flint. I had just got on 75 from 475 and this bird was flyin by. DOINK! My car hit the bird and all you saw was feathers flyin past my windshield. A month ago, I was driving to the CBC Retreat. I was exiting off of Spring Arbor, then DOINK I hit another bird. I knew I hit because I heard the sound, but I did not see no body or feathers in my rear view mirror. I kept wondering if I had imagined it or not. Anyways, as I was leaving Alliance Sunday morning, I noticed something on my car. I examined it a lil closer, and there it is! The birdie's body stuck right in the vent area between my headlight and foglight. It is like caught right in there all nestled in and stuff. The body is still there as we speak of because I have no idea what to do with it? So if anyone has any ideas then please let me know asap!

Camp Mad-Heights was off the hook today despite havin more munchkins. I love the new ACA Center across from Oakland Mall behind Bob Evans. I love the D when Camp D is there, but this place is safe in terms of environment and that is what I want for my kids. I played Stratego and Risk with the kids today too. I mean this place is so convenient for me too, I drove to Crystal's house for some things, restaurants are all over the place, etc. We made kites today too, and tried to fly those things outside. Lastly, my Lil Munchkin's mom spoke with me today after Camp. She kept sayin that she was happy that I was here because over the weekend, that's all her son could ever talk bout was me. That right there is why I do what I do, and My Lil Munchkin is only 5 but I love him so much, he's such a cutie. That's him at the top, woohoo I finally figured out how to add pics into this thing. So I'm gonna do a shout out to my Court Jester and Silly Lilly.

Hibernating - So I finally woke up from my long slumber. It's been a while since I slept thing long, from 7:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m. Man it looks like I missed a lot of phone calls too :( Hopefully this long sleep will get me through the week of workin on Camp Canton and Camp D's CD's, workin at Camp Mad-Heights, and taking care of CCUC prep. Speaking of which, I have finally finished purchasing the gear for CCUC this year. I'll be sportin the new Kobe's that I purchased a few months ago at Chicago this year. Everyone at the captain's meeting was disappointed when I sported my Melo jersey because the previous years I have always represented da D with Charles Rogers, and Brendan Shanahan. I totally forgot I have my Braylon Edwards jersey to sport at this year's meeting. Lastly, my Dwayne Wade jersey is comin in the mail that I can wear on Saturdays. Of course, so much money went to this tournament on clothes, hats, and shoes.

So I finally worshipped at Alliance yesterday, it was good to see Albert one last time before he leaves for Denver. I met a couple of new faces, while seeing a lot of old ones too. It was kind of funny with the message because Pastor Burns said exactly the same thing GP B said last year. Somethin to the effect of how it is takin so long to go through Revelations, man deja vu. Although Pastor Burns did not go through it like GP B, and I was kind of bummed to listen to more human made analogies vs. using other Biblical references to back up your message.

I had to fulfill a promise at Alliance that was broken by the Politicians of Camp D. I'm glad to see Silly Lily smile because it goes to my Court Jester. Anthony was off the wall once he saw me at his church, and kept lookin for his mom to tell her. Once I got back to CBC, I was excited to see My Alice in Wonderland at CBC! Now I know who she is from Camp D, so I hope she does keep comin and that her family will come to know God. Anyways, time to eat since all I ate in the past 24 hours was just 2 Bubble Teas.

There Goes My Life

Fight Club - For the most part I feel recharged bout Camp D. I think it is because I have pushed everything else aside and really focused on my kids. Yesterday, I've been playing Chinese Yo-Yo with them and much love to our teacher, Jennifer. Man, she's got some serious skills and she taught me a lot already. Hopefully I can get one so I can continue to practice. Now everyone wants to play me in Pokemon too, because I'm on a losing streak. I've dropped 3 of my last 4 battles :(

Woohoo, physical therapy is almost done too! I've gone from 45 minute sessions to 2 1/2 hour sessions now as Michelle has picked up my rehab big time. At first, I thought I was just slow because I get there before a lot of other people's appointment, but yet I always leave after the building closes. I feel bad sometimes now because I make Michelle stay after closing time. I rarely take any breaks between each exercise, so how is it that I am the last one to leave still? Well, Michelle explained it to me that I am doing a higher intensity level of all the exercises compared to others. Plus, she mentioned how I have a higher tolerance for pain in which I can do a lot more. Lastly, the thing she hates bout me she mentions is how she wants me to do a certain number then I always spend so much time going beyond her recommended limit.

My goal was to speed my return back for the K.I.D. Tournament. However, that might not happen anymore because of so many complaints bout YCF Remix. The Korean Prez just needs to make a decision instead of leavin it out there. Like on one part, shouldn't they be lookin for the challenge? While on the otherside for me to think about is, do I really want to bring a team that is not wanted there? I would not want to bring a team where they get looked down upon or talked bout badly. The Korean Board though, seems like they gotta do what they gotta do. I'll still be bringin the belt there.

Man only 2 more days of Camp D :( This week continues to go out to My Court Jester and Daniel. I can only have hope for the attendance and the possibility of Camp Mad-Heights next week.

Braveheart - Wow, I don't even know where to start with today's Camp D drama. The great thing was that T-onda and Reylan are here with me this week. However, that was that as The Boss and I had our lil chat. She's pissed bout many things, I just sat there and took it. Some I'll agree with her on that is my bad, but on the flipside there is too many that is not even close. I also learned, that someone sold me out too, it's aight live and learn and DTA. I mean she brings up things that happened like 3 years ago.

Then supposedly, a parent or two have parents have probs with my bandana and my tats. I'm just like wow, these old fashion Chinese peeps, just because I'm wearin a white bandana does not mean I am sportin death around here. I'm thankful to those parents who do know me, and know my heart and intentions. So of course that was brought up in the talks, and I just state my case. So if I dress like everyone else, are they gonna love me then, I'm still the same person. Even if I dress like some of the others, does that mean I should use the same inappropriate language they use. Why not, it's not visibly seen, pssh pulleassseee.

I felt so bad for T-onda today because it is not her fault that she is there. I told her to come because she should be here for the last week. The Boss, was pissed at her and T-onda felt the cold shoulder so many times. T-Lin kept talkin to me bout how I didn't bother listening to authority about this matter which is true. Yes, she is The Boss but that is a title whether it be the campers or the counselors they listen to me more, which T-Lin agrees with because of my heart and effort. However, T-Lin warns me again that I cannot stop her power which is true, I must rely on His power that something be done.

It's hard too because T-Lin wants me to only think bout "being a good counselor." I'm not suppose to think bout the other counselors feelings and what not. I mean that's not me, I'm doing my best to look out for both parties and show the love. So now it seems like my passion for others gets me into trouble. It's all good though, I must remain composed and pray that He is in control of everything. I must have faith of a rock that something will be done because someone has to do something.

Oasis - So this morning, I went for a change for worship. I decided to go to Alliance for worship for many reasons. Main reason was to see My Court Jester, and Daniel once last time before they go back to China. So I got in around 9:20 a.m. and the parkin lot was empty. I kept thinkin bout how at least CBC attendance is a lil better than that. I ran into my Aunt, which was great to see her hearing God's Word on Sundays. However, we went in together and I was at first bummed. First of all it turns out that Alliance is worshipping at Kensington Park, which was why the parkin lot was bare. Second of all, Court Jester and Daniel did not show up either!

However, He works in mysterious ways ya know and I met a very hospitable woman named, Jean. She told me that she is Daniel's Sunday School teacher and how she was with their family last night. She showed me around her classroom, which made me wish that I wish I had my own room to teach at CBC so I can store my materials there. So we talked for a bit and how a lot of other Alliance peeps were going over to OCC. She kept insisting that I call Court Jester to see where she was at. As I was walkin out, I ran into Anthony's mom from Camp D. She knows me a lil now that she knows I am friends with Enoch and Hannah.

On my way to CBC, I called Court Jester and it turns out that her family was plannin on going to join the OCC worship! However, she still puts a smile on my face and I'm thankful for my opportunity in talkin to her before she leaves. She even wrote me an email already too! I will continue to do my best this week for Peeps like her and Daniel.

Wow, and tonight was the first time ever that I seen East Grand Lake packed for business. Then again half of the place was full of CBC peeps. I'm thankful for Auntie Amy takin me out for dinner. It was fun as I continue to teach MooCowz how to drive. Man, I ran into so many peeps at the restaurant though. However, I'm glad in the end we had our own small table with My Yu 2 sistas and The Kid kickin it for dinner.

Lastly, I enjoyed my unforgettable experience at Alliance. Lately, and I think I will do this because I haven't done it in a long time is worship at a lot of different churches. It was a few years ago, where I went to Knox in A2, Highland Park, and Christian Fellowship Church in Lapeer for a month. So, I want to worship at some of the Korean/Chinese churches in September after CCUC. Especially the new Chinese church in Troy as I'm worried bout Crystal going there for worship. So some of the ones that I plan on returnin or visitin for worship is OCC, Alliance, CGC, CGC 2?, KUMC, KPC, and KBC. Well at least this is some of my list.
