Mambo Jambo

Sorry about not putting up a post last night. I actually feel asleep after returning back to my room. Anyway, yesterday was Youth Sunday at church. Those days always seem to be busy for me. I don't know if it's because I want everything to be perfect or if I care too much, but everything went smooth. The teens did a lot of work, and were great. The guest speaker was great too. After church, I had my monthly family dinner with my dad's side of the family. I've really begun to enjoy these more and more. Especially since we are all really close. I love all of my family...and these dinners are a great time for us to catch up.

Today, I had class, and then had work. Nothing special. Atleast nothing I remember. I ran an erran after work and decided to drive my car back to my room to drop the stuff off and then return my car to the parking lot. I had to bike back like usual...but it sure looked like a wicked storm was coming my way. I biked as fast as I could...and as soon as I got back the skies let loose. Thank God I wasnt still biking...I was still in my nice work clothes...and I would have gotten really wet. So tonight for dinner I had some more of my dollar store food. I cooked some steak, pork chop wrapped in bacon, and some mozerella sticks. The steak wasnt too bad and the mozzerella sticks were really good. The pork chop however...i didnt even attempt to eat. I cooked it on the grill...and the bacon didnt get cooked but the pork was over done. I also had some milk from the dollar store. Still am wonder how great that tasted...but I'll let you know later. Just hanging out tonite...I finished up my final episode of The Office reruns tonite. I've been watching them for about a month now. Probably one of my favorite shows on TV right now. But through Netflixs I was able to watch all of the episodes from the very beginning. Some things are even better the second time around. Now I have to find another show to watch. I think it's going to be either Saved by the Bell or A-Team. Havent really seen what other ones are out there. I might actually see what Hero's is all about. Never really got into that show...but I can watch it online.

Have fun...be safe...and enjoy life

Dinner...and a Murder

Well tonite I had my Murder Mystery Dinner at Blue Hens for Christ. It was actually kinda a weird night. Last years was better...but it wasnt bad. The theme was medieval. It was kinda good...I good do what I do best...and that was act...or lie...its one of those two. If you've never been to one or dont know what they are...basically you dress up going with the theme, and ur given a role that you have to play with hints..clues...guidelines...and background information. Someone dies...and u have to figure out who done it. I didnt kill someone...but I also didnt figure out who did it. Some people that were supposed to be there and had some influentally parts so we didnt get that info. I did take along time however 7-11.

Earlier in the day, I went out with my dad for breakfast...we dont get a lot of time to spend together, so I figured that was nice. Afterwards we dropped off yard waste, and then I washed my car for the first time. It didnt really need it, but I kinda wanted to show my parents that I care about this car. Man did it sparkle. I then met up with Pastor Ben. We went up to pick up the special speaker for tomorrow's morning service. Real nice guy. He's the National Youth Director of the Assembly of God in Bangladesh and it was pretty cool to get the know the guy for a couple of hours. One of his bags didnt come in, so we had to file a claim. But it was weird cuz one of the workers came up to us and was like...what church do u guys go to? Afterwards we got talking and I felt we really made an impact on his life. If the speaker's bag didnt show up...this guy never would have met us. Divine Appointment. Anyway...thats all I got. Youth Day tomorrow...should be a good day.

Have fun...Be safe...and Enjoy life

As the seasons...jump?!?

So today was a very hot day. I beginning to wonder what ever happened to Spring...my favorite season. It seems like it just went from winter to summer on us. I slept in a little bit today so I didnt make it to class. I met with my discipleship group for a chance to catch up on some of some of the lessons that we've missed. Afterwards I went to work...and then got to take a nice little drive down to Smyrna. I took my car down and its was such a nice drive. After my trip down I stopped by a costume store to buy an outfit for a party tomorrow night. I'll tell you all about that tomorrow. After work I went and got dinner at the Daffy Deli. Great place in Newark to grab a bite. Had youth group and it was an eventful one. About 7:45 the fire alarm went off in the church. Everyone had no clue what was going on. I quickly acted and started moving people out of the building incase there was really a fire. Everyone was out of the building in about 2 minutes. Not bad for about 75 people spread all over the church. After about 15 minutes PB finally got the alarm turned off. But we told everyone to still stay out of the building. Good thing we did cuz about 5 minutes later a fire truck showed up. They came in...check to make sure everything was ok...and then headed out. We then brought everyone back in and went on with the night. Some how one of the "In case of fire, Pull" thingy's were activated...either by a malfunction...or by a basketball that hit it. No biggie. However, it was good to see what happened when we were pressured to get out of the building. Everyone knew what to do. It was a great practice run incase there ever was a fire. All in all it ended up being a good night.

Have fun...be safe...and enjoy life

250 and Counting

Well, today we celebrate the City of Newark's 250th year in existance. The marching band had to be a part of the parade. We had to show up right after mid day, so I slept in most of the morning...after all I do love my sleep. Dad brought home Mcdonalds for breakfast, and it was definetly good. I then ran back to my room to shower and such cuz I had all my clothes there. I got to the music buildings and man was it good to feel like it was football season again. All the band there (well most of them) and getting ready just like it was game day. The parade wasnt bad except for the fact that one girl in my section puked...it wasnt pretty. Actually, I was really hot and I realized that I'm not in great condition to do this out of season. Afterwards I had a workshop to help with my audition to be apart of the marching band field staff next year. Then I was supposed to go to a "Guys night out" with the group I do bible study with, but the place we were having it at, the son was sick. So I had nothing to do for the night. I decided to go home, I picked up some Little Ceaser's, and ploped on the couch and watched the Phillies, Sixers, and NASCAR race. Should be a really relaxing night and I'm looking forward to it.

As my South African friends would say "Vaarwel"

From here to there

So...today was pretty much like anyother Wednesday. Woke up, showered, went to class, went to work. And thats when things changed. You see for the past 3 years I have been driving a 1989 Oldsmobile Cutlass Cierra. That car is as old as me!!! So recently I've been having a ton of trouble with the engine. And it finally got to the point that it was beginning to be dangerous to drive. So with the advice of my parents...we started looking for a new car. At first I was looking at a used car, but my parents felt it would be better to get something newer. So tonight...I bought my first car. I like it...actually I love it. Its a Pontiac G5, it drives great (so far), gets good gas mileage, and is a little more modern. Here is a generic picture of it:



I know you might think that the color is a little wild...but trust me...its hott. I love the color, and I actually have always liked this color. This picture doesn't do full justice of the car though...so ill put some up once I get some. Its going to be nice to drive around and not have to think if my car is going to die on me...or if im ever gonna make it to work cuz it wont start back up. I am so excited right now. You'll all see me around in the coming days.

So, thats about all the fun I had in my day today. I have some homework to do for a couple of classes so im gonna get going on that. Tomorrow is going to be my first day of "Philly sports" blogs...it will include my take on the Sixers, Flyers, Phillies, and Eagles. I'll throw in a couple of other comments about my day. Hopefully this turns out to be a good time.

Until next time....
