Suit Up

Well well well

It appears i have made my triumphant return to the blogging game

sweet

Well nothing much has happened since the last time i updated, except that EVERYTHING has happened since the beginning of december...

well not really

Winter break was awesome this year

All my buddies were back from every which way, it felt like home again

and this time it wasn't me that was coming back.. 

It's weird not being back at school

I feel like a child again being here at home

I love my parents, i really do, and i'm really blessed that they are so cool about everything or i may be somewhere on the streets by now..

It feels weird not having to really take care of myself

I don't ever have to cook (i didn't really cook at Tech either, but i mean.. i had to find ways to get food), here i tend to say no thanks to food because my grandmother is constantly making food.. hence i now am heavier than i was in college, dah.

I actually just made myself a grilled cheese sandwich.. except it wasn't grilled but toasted...

btw.. a toaster oven is probably one of the greatest inventions EVER

I never have to worry about laundry

I never have to worry about the bills and what not..

I feel so spoiled..

I probably am...

Thank you God

I actually went on 2 retreats this winter break, one as a counselor and one as a student

The first retreat was about Healing (KCPC)

The second about Fear and anxiety (CCPC)

How depressing right?

hahaha

But yea, i was really blessed by both retreats

but more so by the CCPC retreat.. mainly because it was cool meeting other people and i was actually able to learn a few things..

Sandy Cove is the nicest retreat center i have ever been to.

It was sweet having individual beds and it was nice having food that doesn't go through you like laxatives..

I felt like i was a rehab all over again, did i say all over again? i mean... i'm sure that's what a rehad center looks like..

But i do have to say, for such a nice place.. i mean.. the basketball court was a joke...

If i wasn't in fear of tearing my ACL, i was avoiding running into the volleyball players 2 feet away

Oh well, no complaints here

Sorry to go back to it, but i'm actually really glad to be back home, although i may seem like i don't like it, only cuz i miss Tech a lot....

But yea, it's been kind of refreshing to be around people in such different environments

I do miss the closeness of people, but that comes with time, and i have definitely carved out friendships back at home with some great people

have i mentioned that i am Blessed?

I drove by my old high school a few days ago and it looks so different

and then i got to thinking about the "good times" that i had at W.T. Woodson

I remember having those breakfast sandwiches that gave me the runs without fail right after 2nd period, thank God for breaks.. and i guess thank God for doorless stalls.....

There was a time when there were these two girls who got in this huge cat fight in the cafeteria during lunchtime.. it was funny because i saw everything develop so slowly in my head, they talked, some one literally said "oh no you didn't" (just like on TV!!!!) and then they started grabbing each other's hair, one girl punched the other in the gut and there was screaming and such... and then once the fight was over and they were being taken to the office... one girl comes up to me with a fistful of hair and asks me to throw the hair way.... i was not able to eat lunch that day.... and if you knew me in high school.. i was not one to skip a meal... EVER.....but that was one of the only times i was not up to eating... i think i just sat there and cried or something for the next hour....

I also remember making the dumbest excuses ever, thinking i was slick, but looking back on it.. they were really stupid....i remember telling my teacher that my sister accidently deleted one of my biology homeworks, he laughed and said, "so you didn't do your paper did you?".. i sat there thinkin how the heck did he know? that was my freshmen year by the way... 

there was also this one time i told my teacher i was allergic to onions so i couldn't participate in a group project, he made me write a 10-page paper about onions and their impact on the world... by the time i realized it would have been a lot easier to just participate in the project, i was already researching onions....i think the paper took me like 3 days.. the project took about 3 hours.....idiot... that was my sophomore year.... my junior year, i remember i was in my calculus class thinking about ways i could avoid taking a test until the next day, so i picked my nose until i was bleeding... and i was like , i think i need to go to the nurse, i'm bleeding everywhere, she freaked out and i went to the bathroom... i tried to stay in there as long as i could.. i got back thinking they already started and i would have to take the exam tomorrow..unfortunately this class was an hour and 15 minutes long... i was gone for a good 10 minutes.. i had to take the exam... seriously, i was an idiot... i made myself look like an idiot for bleeding and then i only stayed in the bathroom for 10 minutes.. although it seemed like i was gone for a good thirty-forty minutes.... i don't remember anything about senior year..

So i sprained my ankle last night playing basketball.. and then i sprained it even worst slipping on ice... THIS IS WHY I HATE SNOW. and people laugh at me when i tell them that.....not only does it make you unnecessarily wet, but people get hurt when that snow turns into ice.. my mom broke her wrist last year slipping on ice, i messed up my ankle, and i'm sure many more people have hurt themselves on ice.. this is not a vent session, but really, what good is snow, other than for people to get out of school? exactly

Snowboarding is overrated... i went with some youth kids to Whitetail on monday.. i just don't understand the hype.. what's so exciting about going down a hill, standing up on a piece of plastic? especially doing it over and over againg for 6 hours.... i just don't understand.... i guess the excitement of potentially breaking bones and getting concussions gets them up in the morning.... so while these kids were snowboarding.. i got to watch Allen go from a boy to a man on the bunny slopes that day...beat that....yup.. that's what i thought

I am on the verge of getting a new laptop

I'm scared, because i am about to join a cult...

Apple is not cup of tea, but i refuse to deal any longer with viruses and "not responding" notices...

or i may just get Linux (gasp!)

But i do know one thing for sure

I will never EVER purchase a sony vaio...i guess i would be going from one overpriced object (sony) to another (apple)

I believe in the power of YES.. i mean Mac....having a mac will make me instantly trendy! i will then desire to become as eccentric as possible, i will begin to assume that non-Mac users are idiots, having a Mac will allow me to believe that i am truly better than you..SWEET

Now i just need a way to purchase this MBP....

The NFL playoffs have come and gone, the cardinals and steelers play to determine who the best team was in the NFL this year.. i believe the steelers will win..BUT, I REALLY want the cardinals to win..but i am kind of torn, i think Mike Tomlin is one of the good people out there.. i hate B.Ro, but Tomlin kind of makes up for it... i also don't like hines ward...i think he's dirty...but then i love polamalu.. he's got heart..

on the cardinals side, larry fitz is probably my favorite receiver in the league, he's got the skills to make him an elite player, but he's so humble about it.. there's no crazy celebration after a TD, there's no showboating on first downs.. that's what's up...and i want kurt warner to succeed, i hate matt leinart.. that fool does not deserve to play football.. he's like ron artest.. without the intensity.... 

i think this game will be a shootout.. cardinals have the advantage on offense but the steelers have the advantage on defense.. i think it'll come down to which QB makes the least amount of mistakes.. more than any defensive play or special teams, it will come down to which SuperBowl winning quarterback will carry his team to ring number 2

There's no point in talking about the NBA

other than to say that the wizards suck this year..

but Timmy D is playing out of his mind rite now.

so is Lebron,  i'll give it up, he's tearing it up rite now.. i really think in the playoffs he'll be even better which is kind of scary to think about...
