Wii

So while I was home my nephew, Siddiq, practically begged me to play his Wii with him. We decided to go at it in Wii sports. Now let me give you this disclaimer before I continue. *I used to a big video game person. I played all the Maddens, NBA Lives, etc. but since I graduated college I just don't have time for it anymore.*

So back to my nephew and I. He beat me in bowling (217-82), golf (by 9 strokes), tennis (3 sets to 0), baseball (14-0, I quit in the 2nd inning) and boxing. Wii is really fun. At first I couldn't see what all the hype was about but now that I've played it, I really like it. I'm thinking about purchasing one. Who wants contribute to my Wii fund? lol.

So f*cking funny...

I'm listening to Dane Cook's Harmful If Swallowed cd. Its so fucking funny. Now I really feel like watching Employee of the Month. Dude really doesn't get the credit he deserves as a comedian. If your in the mood to laugh I suggest you check him out.


Check out this link. ROTF.

"Just go to an airport, stand in front of a person who is waiting for their flight, and stare at them until they notice you are there. When they look at you, just say "don't get on the flight" and walk away. you know they're sitting there going "I don’t think I should get on this fucking flight...I think an angel just told me not to get on this flight...thank you angel wearing jeans!"

Still Dreamin'

So the reason behind my url and blog title is i'm really fascinated with dreams and sleep. I remember a lot of my dreams. Most make sense and some don't. For instance I had 3 seperate dreams last night and I remember all of them vividly. I bought a dream book called 20,000 dreams interprets your dreams for you. I think I'm going to start blogging about my dreams the interpretations of my dreams.

So I had one dream that I got into a fight with this guy who was trying to hit my friend. The book interprets that as a warning of agressive opposition or it exposes unrestrained emotions, impulsiveness.

This other dream that I had exposes an identity crisis; an indentification with a past life that still retains strong and overwhelming elements. *thinking:

New year, new blog entry

Its been a while since I posted a blog entry (about 7 months), so I'm gonna start trying to post more regularly.

I'm gonna make this blog public again. Since I'm making it public again, I had to go through and delete like 10 entries (as they were too personal). Lets see what I want to post about.

1. This year I have no New Year's resolutions for 2009. I did a poor job of keeping them last year and the year before. SMH.

2. I had a great time while I was home for the break. I got a chance to spend time with friends from high school and college. Hung out with my line brothers and the good 2nd D bruhs. I hung out with my nephews and got beat down in Wii sports. lol. I also spent time with my family.

3. Speaking of family, I have real issues with one of my brothers. I think I'm cool on him until he changes a lot of things in his life. But he has to want to change for himself though.

4. I am proclaiming that 2010 will not see me in Nashville. lol. I have every intention on moving back home after I defend my thesis.

Rain, Rain Go Away

Its been storming since last night. This shit is getting on my nerves. I'm a semi-light sleeper and that thunder didn't help my cause of getting a good nights rest. Now I'm tired and I just want to sleep. I don't even want to go outside because its still raining. This shit is for the birds.

Doctoral Candidate

This past Friday I completed my Candidacy exam and I am now a doctoral candidate. I did a really good job on my presentation as well as fielding the questions that I received.

I was really nervous at the start of my presentation. My hands were shaking. I really don't know why I was that nervous. So I got through the presentation really well. So I was most worried about the type of questions that I was going to receive. I got asked questions that I had no problem answering. I even went to the white board and made a diagram of what I think is happening in my cell line.

It was a packed room. Not one seat available. Didn't think that many people were gonna come out. Even NM came out. I've had a crush on her since my second year here. I think I would have really got at her if she didn't have a boyfriend. But I knew I passed before they told me.

Now the grind can begin to get the hell outta here.

Updates

Damn it seems like its been a minute since I last blogged.

Well a couple of updates.


1. I take my Phase II Preliminary Exam on March 28th. I need to stop bullshitting and start working on it. I think I will be ok though.

2. I'll be going to San Diego April 12-16. I'm lightweight excited about the trip. I already have my plane ticket booked, hotel room reserved and I have my check to cover the expenses upfront.

3. Basketball season is going well. We finished the season 7-1. It was a 3 way tie for the best record. We had the number one seed in playoffs (due to average margin of victory). We are now in the semifinals which will be played tomorrow. The championship game is Monday.

4. I've come to realize that I am doing bad on all of my New Year's resolutions. I need to do better.

5. I missed my homecoming this year. I felt some type of way about that.
