Maximus, Maximus!

Spainard!

Can you find the live tiger?

I wish I could check out their show.

A shot like this is what I like about Vegas.

Lombard - Yesterday I got the CCUC invitation for this year's tournament. I've been watchin some of my old videos and lookin through my pics. I'm kind of sad to see the numbers from CBC has decreased over the years. It was only 4 years ago, that we had like 7 total teams with fans lined up on the sidelines cheerin everyone on. Now it's like we're lucky enough to get 4 teams in the tournament. So my plan is to try to recruit more homegrown talent this year to come out and play or cheer.

What stinks also is possibly the lack of help I may be getting. Actually, I don't mind tryin to head this up but it's gonna be hard doin this, with VBS, Jr. Church, and Retreat. Lotz of prayers needed on this one.

After watchin Fung's commercial, I'm just so motivated to play this year. Although, I wanna play in a new division because I wanna try to put together my boyz for another go around. It sucked last year, gettin 3rd place period. The hard part for me was my knee injury which stripped me away of 2 1/2 months of training/practice. I've already started part of my training, some new stuff that I read from Rip's personal life. I'm bout to drop some money on some training aids to because I just wanna push myself.

Lastly, wow has this year's NBA playoffs been exciting! Despite the 2-2 tie in Detroit, it's still exciting and well for us it could be worst, we could be the Spurs right now gone fishin already.

Treasure Island - Man this ship was rockin with the girlz later at night.

Warriors - I had some other thoughts I wanted to put down but I will dedicate this entry to Pastor Tsang. I'm thankful that he's been leadin CBC for the past 8 years and I'm glad I got to know him over the last 5-6 years. It was hard for me to hear the news this morning, which is why I'm glad that I heard it the first time. I think if I heard it today I would be more emotionally caught up with it. What pissed me off was the talkin during this announcement was made. I mean people don't know how God has used him to shepherd CBC.

The things that stuck out to me about Pastor Tsang, is his hospitality. No doubt, I mean everytime I was over his place, he always made me feel welcomed. He's also a very caring guy, and a lot of peeps don't see the behind the scene stuff that he does. I mean even last week at church clean up, Pastor Tsang rolled up his sleeves and was ready to get down and dirty. Where the G were the rest of the bloodsuckers that call CBC their home? He even had the time to ask me about my trip to LA, and it's cool to me because I'd figure he forgot, but he cares. He is also one of the guys who is supportive and encouraging to me in some of my toughest times at CBC. He sees the areas that I serve in and encourages me despite some of the haterz out there. Lastly, I'll never forget the words he used to describe me to the Chinese congregation. I think it is because of how He uses me, that allowed His words to flow out of Pastor Tsang's mouth to the congregation that I earned a lot of trust.

Like I said before this is a guy whom I'd love to go to a ball game with. I learned about the details of his resignation and I totally respect it. If anything, I wish I could commit a lot more time or importance to the ministry that he has a heart for. This is God's Will for the family and ain't nothin anyone can do about it. Just prayer and praise for everything, it just irritates me how some peeps are tryin to stir some trouble in this manner. If there's a petition goin on, then I want to find the leader in all that. Let the man leave in peace, and God be with him where ever he goes. In the end, I pray that peeps can come to rest with this in their heart. It stinks knowin that he won't be at this Retreat so last year's was the last one I had an honor to serve with him. This is a new chapter in the CBC era bout to be written, and it's excitin to see what happens. I just need my peeps, and my troops to continue to make CBC the place to be.

Sidenote, much props to the girl in LA-LA land for keepin it a secret for this long ;)

Break It Down

I really want to test drive one of these bad boyz out next time.

This was a shot at the Lake Mead Welcome Center.

Inside the Lake Mead Welcome Center was this model of the area of Utah, Nevada, Arizona, and Colorado. It shows how the Hoover Damn plays an important part to the area and a lot of history. I really learned a lot from playin with this model.

The farthest I got when I drove to Arizona.

This is what I see every night from my room at Stardust.

Fuel - Hmm, I noticed I have been gettin quite picky about where I sub lately. Like I automatically reject any K-1st grade, and Art. Although compared to yesterday, I was quite productive. I finally finished my resume, although it doesn't look great I am hopin Ona can help me trick it out a lil. I also cleaned more of my house, but still lots more to do.

Gosh, I can't believe things are speedin up sort of. My 'rents continue to talk bout movin out to Vegas. Apparently my sis has also agreed to invest some cash out there too. With everyone leavin around here, I was shocked to learn some others were thinkin bout leavin too. The only way I see myself leavin is if my fam leaves. I just don't see myself goin out to Vegas and settling there. The city is quite beautiful but what's on the outside ain't on the inside. Too much sin and corruption for me to handle, and I don't think I could withstand all that. So if it is the case they move out to Vegas, other areas near by I have already crossed out. LA, nah natural disasters and fake peeps out there. Phoenix, I'll pass because of certain peeps who live out there. Salt Lake, nope Mormon country ain't for me.

In the end, a friend from The Gate told me last night how much the kids at CBC look up to me. Another friend told me though it is good to spread seeds where ever I can. However, I see it as I want to see the seeds bloom to something special. I have faith and I don't see myself leavin any time soon.

Scarecrow

The other place I stayed at, this place is going to be destroyed this December.

Rock on!

Inquirer - Wow, was my day just a blur today. I did recieve some shocking news today and I guess it will be revealed soon. I'm glad I heard it so it gives me a couple of days to pray for everyone else when they hear it.

Gosh this sucks, I got nothing else to write about. Hmm I guess I'll go watch the Power Rangers.

Welcome Back

The Stairs that sent a lot of peeps includin my mommy huffin and puffin.

I tried to jump and hang on the rope, but it looked like I was grabbin his booty.

This was a cool memorial before ya actually get to the Hoover Damn.

My A Walk To Remember moment, I am now standing on the Nevada and Arizona state line. I am in 2 places at once :)

Gilbert - Well back from NYC, so I feel like I got some stuff to add into my entry. First off, praise God for helpin me take care of the Game 1 & Game 2 Pistons tix. It didn't go out according to what I had planned but as usual His plan was better. I couldn't of asked for a better fan to go with to the game, thanks Fung. God knows I didn't want to go with some band wagon fan and as usual they are all boarding up the train now.

So bout my trip to NYC, well now that I am fresh from both LA and NYC. I can now say, LA driving/traffic is a joke to NYC. Traffic is one thing, but the way those Yorkers drive is another thing. LA has a lot of lanes, and they are wide, and if there is a jam big whoop ya sit and wait. NYC, now the lanes are narrow, and there ain't that many lanes. Ya gotta be aggressive in NYC, which I got that down. The thing is this too, it ain't just the freeways I mean I wished I could of saw the faces of those I kept cuttin off. Anyways, for those who think LA driving is tough then they don't have the skillz to keep up in NYC nor a lot of other places.

Lastly, the best part had to be the race with this Pilot I had through The Penn. Man I really got out of The Penn quickly. Too bad my daddy's Yukon can't go past 100 mph, but it was fun blockin that Pilot against the semi's so he couldn't move. My mommy had a heart attack, as I went through the mountains, and my daddy didn't appreciate the tauntin I did. However, I just wanna show that Pilot Man isn't the King of I-80 especially comin from the Illini.
