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.
