obama's speech last night

it was amazing... he called out mccain on so many issues and is ready for the debates... so ready for all 3, i'll make sure to record them. one thing that pissed me off is that TVone interviewed who of all people... jesse jackson. what the hell was he even doing at the speech, someone needs to slap him. if anyone would provide travel for me to do it, i'd slap him myself and tell him "do something about it", but thats probably wont happen. anyways, im ready for president obama to make these changes.

tournament... and maxwell tour

man... the tournament was wild to say the least. the tournament was supposed to last all day(and night) with our first game starting at 1pm and the championship game starting at 11pm. we won our first game 11-1... blasted them, the whole team was looking good and everything. second game was going a good game, we got off to a bad start but were making out comeback really fast, i hit in the tying run as we were on our comeback, but rob, one of our best players(the rbi) was tripped by the catcher and he ended up busting his head on the fence post(6 staples required... more on that later). the team that we were playing was undefeated and just happened to be sponsering the whole thing... provided the umps and all. they knew we were on the comeback and we're probably gonna win, but with rob cutting his head, they had an opening, nobody was focused and since the games were timed, we had to keep playing. they wanted to send rob to the hospital b/c they knew if he kept playing we would beat them and soil their undefeated season. nevertheless... we lost the game. since its a double elemination tournament, we could have still won the whole thing... we would have just had to beat the team twice in the end.

anyways, our coach is an older guy and he was playing with us. the next game we were supposed to win easliy, but he wouldnt let rob play, even though he was taped up and feelign great and wanted to play. so he took him off the official roster without telling anyone, so when the game started, rob was not allowed to play. i thought that was a bitch move, but anyways, the thing that got everyone hot is that he put him back on with 5 mins left in the game(pointless at that time)... if he wasnt going to let him play, then not let him play at all, not once you know we wont be able to put a gap on the scoreboard. if you really wanted him not playing, he would have kept him otu the entire game, standing behind his word. not throw the game by keeping him out for that long, then once its over, be the first person out of the park and the parking lot. and then not show up for church the next day... o well.

went with t-mobile

well i have my phone now and i went with t-mobile. its great. i have good coverage, and i have my fav5 set up. im using a n95 and it works amazing with the network. wi-fi makes it where i can use the internet w/o running up a huge data charge bill, the 5 mp camera is great, good pictures and video quality. i hope i wont have any problems anytime soon.

work is going good i guess. had an interview this morning with a manufacturing company that went well. hopefully that pans out and i'll have something that i'd really enjoy doing, looking at and working on machines.

oh... and have yall seen queen latifa on the new jenny craig ad??? wow, i was really surprised.

until next time. peace and hair grease.

at&t versus t-mobile

well im stuck between these two phone carriers.

at&t has so many people and most of the people i know have at&t, so the mobile to mobile thing is nice. just as the rollover minutes. but they will not give me service unless i sign my life over to them for a minimum of 2 years according to the rep i talked with(which i think is a lie, but thats something totally different).

t-mobile on the other hand has cheaper plans, the fave 5 deal, and what i like most... no contract if i dont want it... the downside is that they dont rollover minutes. all i have to do is provide my own phone. their rep was much cooler, and said that the whole purpose of the contracts are to help people out with deals on the phones. it makes sense and i liked the way everyone at t-mobile was. very cool, nice people.

right now... im leaning towards t-mobile, and unless at&t can get it together... thats who i'll be with.

which do you perfer, t-mobile or at&t?

gm... what is the damn deal?!?

well i just almost had a wreck... not b/c of anything i did, or the other guy either... we just both happened to see the new 2009 challenger blacked out fly by us/in between us going about 130-150... it was so sick. almost had a heartattack... not b/c he almost hit me, but b/c of the fact that the car was so sick. i didnt know they were out yet... but i know for sure now... and i probably need to take a shower b/c of it. lol. gm is fuckin up... they should have released the camaro the same weekend transformers came out... we wouldnt have all these people driving around in these mustangs thinking there big shit. or these chargers(but that srt is somethin serious)... and now this challenger... but im not mad at it. all in all, if any gm reps read this... just know yall fucked up letting the challenger come out before the camaro also.

update...

well, i havent updated this in a while, but i really dont have much to say. ive shaved my face, i might post a picture up later... someone told me that if i cut my hair, i would look like chris rock... i was like damn. chris rock isnt an attractive guy to most people, but o well. thats that. working at smoothie king is cool so far, it seems like it'll be a nice in-school job.the people i work with are very different, but its good to diversify my social networks. well thats enough. oh, listening to old gerald levert with the tops down is kinda romantic...later.

R.I.P.

dang... bernie mac and now issac hayes... man, life is short.

everybody nose(remix)

if you havent heard it or seen the video... you're missing out.



lupe, kanye, pusha, and pharell... pure greatness

looking foward to this tournament

im excited about this church softball tournament...we're playing with asa rules and stuff. if you know anything about asa slowpitch softball... there are very scrict regulations on the bats you can use, which usually cuts out alot of people's bats they already own. the ruleon the bats is that the ball can not come off the bat faster than 98 mph. that normally wouldnt be a problem, but seeing that these church league is so serious and people own 300, 400 and 500 dollar bats... its very serious. i now have a miken freak 98 asa legal bat. im so ready to hit with it in a game. breaking it in at a batting cage is cool and all, but batting cage balls arent the real thing. here is a picture of what the bat looks like...



except my bat now has an orange/fire wrap grip to match the lettering on it... gotta coordinate. lol. i'll let you know once i get to hit with it on a field.

YES!!!

wow... this car is supposed to be here in memphis at the all american "street legal" race... camaros, vettes, mustangs, vipers chevelles, novas, firebirds, and muscle cas galore... oh my... i cant wait. imagine what could be done... id be a terror. well until i make enough money for toys of this caliber... i'll just dream.

so random

ok... i had planned on a totally different post, but i'll wait and surprise everyone with that later. im kinda frustrated and confused b/c i have a completely ruined tire on my camaro now. how did this happen you may ask? well i'll tell you... i got in my car going to work yesterday morning, everything was fine. i did my usual check around the car to make sure i actually dont already have a flat tire before i move the car, and no problems, i crank up and start to head out the parking deck, and by the time i get out, i have a flat... i get out, look and behold, a bolt with the head size of a quarter is in my tire and the little air remaining in the tire is flying out. damn. i turn on my hazards and crawl through the hospital district to get to the gas station to see if it will hold enough air so i could get to work. i get there and it holds enough air as long as im moving... so i fly down the street to work and park the car where the big hole is on the ground to see if that would slow it down. i figure i'll just deal with it once i get off. i spend the entire day at work, and about 6ish, i call AAA to bring some air so i can get home. they send a tow truck b/c im a "plus member" and say they'll tow me up to 100 miles for free... i dont want that, i just wanted some air to put in my tire so i could make it home, its after 5 on a sunday, no tire place is open, so what in the hell was dude thinking... just tow my car and leave it outside a tire place in midtown memphis(where cars go missing all the time mind you)... i luckly had some fix-a-flat in my car, put it in and drove home... the holeis way too big to stop up so it leaks out as soon as i stop, but im home. now i have to find tires for my car and that isnt really that hard, but low profiles are expensive and im broke. i'll see what i can find/do.

totally random but i felt like i needed to rant. later
