Had my final night at Youth Group last night. After the program, they had a roast in honor of me and the counselors shared some pretty funny stories with everyone. Got some pretty cool send-off gifts from them. Donna, our designated photographer, gave me a collage of pictures with me over the years (which was hard to do since I try to stay out of ( Read more... )

The official moving process has begun. Thank goodness my dad came here to help. Otherwise, I would've never gotten this thing going. We packed 19 boxes yesterday and filled up five bags of trash before calling it a day. My office (except for my computer obviously) is virtually all packed.

The Summer of Closure rolls on. Tonight was my first game of my last season in church league basketball. AND I SUCKED!!!!! Jesus, 5 months of running and weights for this? Even if I'm just not ment to be good at basketball, I cannot accept that. I even almost got into a fight with a referee just because he told me to lighten up. I can't accept ( Read more... )

Forget about Iraq, Iran and North Korea being an Axis of Evil. As far as my life goes, the true Axis of Evil is the LA Lakers, SA Spurs, and Houston Rockets. Of course, if I'm to look beyond the West, I add Chicago and Boston to the Axis.

There are dreams in my life I want to live to see fulfilled ( Read more... )

A word from the wise. If you have never gotten behind a team in sports, college or pro, then don't. It's simply too much pain to take. Especially if you take the difficult and more demanding road by picking a team that isn't known for winning ( Read more... )
