Hard Knocks

Man these last couple weeks were insane. Along with all my church commitments, MC'ing, and midterms, my car got towed, I got hit with fee's left and right. I think I spent $260 dollars today for just fees. :(

Ugh, but praise God I'm still alive.

On a lighter note, I'm really excited for missions. INDIA WOOT! The team looks great too, working with them is going to be cool, especially because 2 of my roomies are also on the team. The punishments for not doing assignments for missions is pushups.... that's like a win win situation. haha. You do the assignment you grow, you don't do it and you get jacked.

On a darker note, I'm going to burn Campus Realty to the ground. I PAID FOR A PARKING SPOT, WHY ARE THERE NO SPOTS LEFT?!

Since it's late I'll have to write more next time. Nighty night world.

It's all about people

Man, life has been a progress this year. Through all it's ups, downs, twists, and turns God's been using the people around me to keep me movin'. All the times I was drowning in work, sick, oversleeping like a rock, or slacking certain people have always
been there.

Been there
to bring me the occasional James Johnathan's (Jimmy John's), body hump me out of hibernation, therapeutic back massages and late night pizzas, caffeine heavy care packages special delivered to the fish bowl, 6 pack of cervezas, spiritual accountability, from medicines and band-aids to encouragements and compliments you guys have
been there.

People always ask me "man I can't picture you mad, or I can't see you angry"

But, even when I do get upset how can I stay that way when I'm surrounded by these kind of people? The kind that have my back, the kind that make me feel safe on the battlefront, the kind that support each other at all costs. I honestly feel soooo pampered and spoiled, almost guilty..haha




Screw smiley faces, lemme show ya'll how I feel...

Thanks Suckaz, I love you guys!

Harder Than Expected

So revamping life and starting perfect from the get go is a lot harder than I thought. Lack of sleep is killin' me and there's still soooooooo much to do. But I did get a chance to workout finally. That was some good stress relief :)

So I was rummaging through my camera and I found some of the pictures I took at the Mos Def concert in AA, when he performed here for MLK day.He actually got some honorary "visiting professor" award, so now he's Professor Mos Def. Haha



Group pic after the concert. :)

New Beginnings

Man this feels weird. I never thought I'd be writing blogs, but after stumbling upon a few it seemed like a good way to organize my thoughts and keep people that I don't see often updated on my status. So I'm officially cutting the ribbon on this piece. :)

It's been a hard week, a lot of stuff going on with church, school, and my personal life and I've been having some difficulty trying to maintain balance. Thank to God and some good close friends I've been able to stay alive. I think I publicly displayed my frustration for the first time this school year. Wasn't anything big really, but I'm trying to make some sweeping changes in life and this was a step back. Man I hate stepbacks during rapid progression, but I guess that's life.

I guess I'm officially staying in Ann Arbor now, and I should start thinking about my future after graduation...well if I graduate this year...ugh.

Involvement in a lot of church stuff has slowly slipped the past 2 weeks. I hate showing that I'm inadequate or incapable, the load isn't too crazy especially because a lot of the stuff is temporary. I just need to manage my time even better than I have been doing. Sorry for the vagueness, some things are just better left that way.


Man it does feel refreshing writing this blog, and that's enough ranting for one day.
