Old Friends Were Once New Friends...

Anyone who knows me knows I love telling this story and anyone who knows me well enough knows automatically who I'm talking about. This is a story about how me and my friend first met at church lol. I was always the type to go to church on Sundays, but I never really went to fellowship on Fridays and that's more of where the bonding and stuff happens. I would go on Sundays, do my thing, keep to myself and go home...didn't really make that many friends. So my parents really wanted me to go to fellowship, so they were talking to the pastor and counselor at that time and he brought up that fellowship is on Fridays at 7:30 and there are a bunch of kids my age. So my parents pretty much forced me to go and wanted me to make some new friends at church. I was like in elementary school back then I swear and fellowship was from like grade 6 or 7 to like university mans, so it was a pretty huge gap. Anyways, I was pretty antisocial back then...but then again don't we all have that point in our lives where we kept to ourselves, were shy or had trouble making friends. Anyways, so I remember distinctly being dropped off early to fellowship and I was like damn...gonna be one of the only people there...and I was lol...the chairs were set up in 2 sides...left side there were rows and columns and vice versa on the right side with a path in the middle. I remember picking the right side and one of the middle rows, but I sat all the way on the inside close to the window lol...I remember wearing this black hoodie and I had my hood all the way up lol. In my head...I was like man...I don't want to talk to nobody and I don't want nobody talking to me LOL. Low and behold...this random dude comes and sits beside me and doesn't say anything...yet. In my head I'm like damn...go away dawg, you got all these seats to choose from and you pick this one...LOL. So like a minute goes by, here I am chilling with my hood on and he finally looks and me and introduces himself and we end up talking and stuff and we was a really nice guy LOL Then I remember the upcoming Sunday during service, I was wearing this Tracy McGrady shirt...and he was behind me and he's like oh sick you watch basketball, I'm like yeah man...and he introduced me to his brother and the other guys he chilled with...and that's how I became friends with him and his boys. Sadly like half of them don't go to church anymore, but I still keep in contact with them and meet up with them here and there to see how they're doing. And of course me and this friend...this guy who stepped out of his comfort zone to introduce himself to me...we've been through a lot...but we're still really great friends and brothers in Christ. I've seen him grow SO much within these past like 8-10 years...yeah it's been that long, damn. It's amazing to see what Christ is doing in his heart, I'm glad to see Him grow and have a desire to serve God. Thanks for always being there bro, thanks for being a good friend and role model for me at church and in my walk with God, it means the world to me.

Where Have I Been...

Let me explain lol I know it's been over a week since I've posted...I'm sorry. This week has been really busy...lots of softball stuff going on for one...has practices on Tuesday and Thursdays as usual...had one game on Saturday and 2 games on Sunday...it was a real good weekend and a good learning experience for our team and a good time of bonding and fellowship...we stand at 4-3 with 3 games left in the season, but I've learned so much and am still learning so much...as a coach, my team has made me so proud this season. What else...I've been chilling a lot with this one friend this week...and as of late...we've been hitting the gym together every morning and after he just comes over and we chill, game and stuff then head to practice or something. What else...Monday, we went to workout then my other friend came over and we played monopoly for a long while before going to ball, Friday went downtown to Snakes and Lattes with my 3 friends...it was so fun lol...went to fellowship and we played a christian boardgame there...it was fun as well. Can't remember what else I've done...but like I've said my days are pretty empty, just hitting the gym...my nights are really busy though lol...Monday - ball, Tuesday - softball, Wednesday - crossfit, Thursday - softball, Friday - fellowship lol. What else...my brother is trying to get me a job at Canadian Tire where he works lol.

On a side note...this week, it's been brought to my attention...a bunch of people have messaged me and were like yo I was on your blog just reading your posts, why haven't you blogged lol. It's always funny to me cuz I haven't posted it on facebook or twitter or anything lately...so I wonder if people are just chilling and it's like hmm...let's go check out Rodmond's blog lol...

This Summer...

Something just feels different this summer...I don't know and haven't figured out what it is yet. Is it because I'm 21 now...is because I'm going into my 4th year...I actually don't know. Something just feels different...people are more busy with school or work...people just seem more to themselves and stuff...it just doesn't seem the same...less...fun? Usually each summer is filled with chill things and stuff and yeah...this summer...feels more down and gloomy...it's already mid July...almost August, and when August hits, I know summer is gonna BLOW by...and just like that I'll be back in school, I don't know what\s up.

This Blog...

This blog has gone through way too much...taken up too much of my time...and become too big apart of my life for me to censor myself because people don\t agree with what I say or may be hurt because of it. Not saying I'm gonna post rude things specifically to hurt people...what people don't understand when they go on m y blog or perhaps read a post about them...is that I treat this blog like a personal diary...and if you have or have ever had a diary, you'll know it's where you\re completely and brutally honest...where you literally spill your guts out. So when I write about things or people...I\m not directing it to you to hurt you...I'm doing it to vent...to help myself relax...cuz this is like a diary to me. Trust...I've gotten into many arguments and ish with friends because they get cheesed when they read posts about them and say that I'm hiding things from them or I'm too scared to tell them...when in actuality...when I write these posts or any posts...I don't have any intentions or expectations of anyone reading them...to me...I'm just writing on a blog...I don\t have any expectations that the person I\m writing about is actually going to read the post. LOL but yeah...trust I\ve gotten into many arguments and fights with friends over my posts and how I should censor myself...or people will get mad at me cuz they read a post on my blog...like relax...this is my diary...I'm not asking you to read the posts on this blog...this is my life...I ain't gonna change or censor it for nobody...this is how are feel, these are my thoughts.

Loaft Day

No one's home, nothing planned...sometimes you just need days like this. I love it...I feel like I have so many things t do today though, but I\m loafting and just watching videos and movies right now. Have to do my laundry, plan Sunday school, cut my hair and reschedule games for softball...but I'm so comfy...sometimes, I just love being at home by myself...it's nice lol. Some things going through my head right now...I'm not sure if it's the same for girls...but for guys...well for me at least...when it comes to my closest friends who are girls...I get jealous pretty easily with their other guy friends...or not even that, but I just naturally have a certain dislike for them lol...is that weird...is that normal? That doesn't mean I like them...I dunno...you just like that feeling of being special you know. I've definitely experienced that before...where my closest girl friend...who had a lot of friends...and a lot of guy friends...and it was annoying and now we're not as close as we used to be...and it doesn't really seem to affect her...oh well, people grow apart, that\s life. What else...it's mid July...damn...I feel like once August comes, summer's gonna go by so quick and before I know it, I'm gonna be back in school going into my fourth year, damn. What else...being a coach is stressful work...aside from keeping my emotions in check...having to reschedule games and email so many people to confirm things is annoying. And also for teaching...I think this will be my last term teaching the grades 5-6...they\re just a real handful...I mean I started with them...then I moved to the grade 7-9's...and come September I'll be teaching the grades 10-12...so that'll be new...it'll be a challenge, but it'll also be fun...I don\t think I can go back to teaching grades 5-6 after that...it\s too much lol and it really takes it's toll on your body and your mind.
