Been Busy!!!


Dang its been a lil minute since i have wrote a blog...sorry been busy. With being a Senior, a Resident Assistant, Being a Que, and my crazy azz social life I haven't had time to write a blog. But with all that i have had alot of time to think about my 4 years here in Knoxville, the ups the downs, the friends lost and gain, the love lost and gained....just everything. And i came to the realization that this has truely been the best 4 years of my life. Like i can't wait to have kids just to tell them about my experiences. Some of the things I have done literally, I should be either in jail, in the hospital, or kicked out of school. Here are a list of my favorite experiences:



Freshman year me and my friends: Chris, Kennard, Domonique, Fred,Deneen, and Nini oh and Dee or Chris can't really remember, went to see a movie out in Turkey Creek on the way back we drove over to this shoppin center which was completely empty cuz it was like 1 in the morning. So my car which was Kennard driving me, fred and dee decided to throw pennies at the Domonique's car so we were chasing them all over this parking garage and some kind of way we ended up back close to campus at Tyson Park. Here we decided to play hide and go seek......I know....8 18 year olds decided to play a kids game but it was the most fun I could have. We played till like 3 in the morning and then decided we needed to do it again but with more people. So just by word of mouth and sum text messages we ended up having over 30 people come play the next night. Like it was serious!!! Folks came out there in real deal running clothes and we played for atleast 4 hours in the dark with nothing but street lights on. It was the most random fun i have ever had. There was no alcohol, money, music or anything like that involved just pure fun. Even the so called thugs and pretty girls where out there sweating their azz off.






US IN ATLANTA (FROM LEFT TO RIGHT):PAUL,ME,DEE,DAVID

Then my 2nd year me, chris, London, and dee decided to go to Atlanta for sum reason i think it was one of the "classic" weekends and we were gonna go to some of the parties. The only problem was that we didn't have a place to stay i was just going off of chris knowing someone and me staying with them. So anyway we ran into some female friends we knew from school who had a hotel room so we decided we would chill there before we went out to the party. Well after the party we needed a place to crash and they were like yall can crash wit us.....HELL YEA!!!...They had alcohol, 2 beds and plenty of room. So the crazy thing was that we woke up and they were all gone so it was like it was our room. We were like damn we got a free room. Then we got into both clubs both nights VIP for only 10$ a piece...other than food i only spent like $45 dollars. Defiantly a great trip.



My 3rd year me chris and terrance went to a set and we all decided we were gonna get wasted. So we were having a good time and terrance decides he is going to get drunk and pass out. So me and chris are at the party for like 3 more hours while terrance is passed out and then we decide to leave. NEITHER ONE OF US SHOULD BE DRIVING. Yet Chris drives us home, mind you terrance is in the back seat passed out with his head out the window because chris back window doesn't roll up...So we're coming down cumberland and we get to the 1st light...its like 3am and noone is out so we decide to run the light.....WE look around and then go...then the 2nd light....look around then run it.....3rd light now we're feeling confident and this time we barely look and take it...then out of no where this cop turns his lights on and pulls us over.....SIDENOTE:




I know we are both drunk...we smell like alcohol..terrance is passed out without a seatbelt on...our eyes are that glossy drunk...and now we're terrified.


So the cop comes up and flashs the light and was like "did u guys not see the light" then chris does the greatest lie in history..."sir i just got off work i work at fedex and me and my friend robert were asked to go pick up my friend terrance from a party because he is passed out and we needed to get him to his house"

so then the cop says give me ur licence and insurance....the problem is that true chris has both these items yet...he has like 6 unpaid tickets and his insurance is expired....NOW IM FREAKING OUT....the one thing im most scared of was going to jail...im trying to figure out ways to run away and not get caught....yet the cop comes back and is like "ok your good..ur insurance is expired you need to get that fixed"...then he says the best thing i've ever heard..."im gonna write you a warning, just be careful and get him home...its happen to me before just be safe"............................this is where i just shit my pants because im like HALLEJUHAH!!!! You don't realize how much shyt we were suppose to be in:Drunk Driving, Reckless Driving, Underage drinking, No insurance, traffic tickets...the list could have went on but we got away with just a warning!!!!!!!!




Like real talk i got more stories these were just some of my favorite...I'll prolly write another blog later about some more fun times in my life but leave sum comments about sum of your times or comment on mine!!

Mountains and Valleys

This last 2 weeks has been one to remember i have been up high with happiness and down low in the valley with sadness and pain...but through it all i have been thankful to the Lord. Because with everything that went in my opinion "wrong" The Lord put an equally or greater "good" in my life to help. This is a update blog as well as a testimony to friendship,love and God's Master Plan and how we as people always doubt but all we need to do is have faith!



So anyway i tore my acl and had surgery for last Friday so i had everything in place:someone to take me, told everyone and had put myself in the mindset to go through surgery...So on Friday the doc called me and told me he had to reschedule for the following Monday. Man i was pissed (read my blog: UT Med one word:ratchet") and was just like this is gonna be a bad day already and this and that. This is one of those times when we as humans think we know but don't know a damn thing, because if i had had the surgery i would have been bed ridden for the next two days. Now i'm glad it was rescheduled because i had a great weekend: Hung owt friday and had a great time, then Saturday i went to my boss/friend Matt's birthday pool party then went to the Delta's and the Que's stepping at this girls 16 birthday party all though i couldn't hop i could help. If i hadn't came my tre dawg would not have had any shorts to wear as well as i helped with the chants. Also it was just alot of fun, messing with the Redz and the Bruhz, gets no better. Then we all go to my dawg's Angelo's house to chill where we having a good time with old bruhz and then the redz come chill then we all go to my girl's Lauren's bday party which was crazy had a great time there. Then Sunday i just chilled because i didn't want to do anything before surgery.

Fast forward to after surgery..Brittney and my line brothers really helped me move from my old apartment to my new place. i couldn't have done it with out them, they not only help me move they made sure i had everything i needed:food,clothes, company,etc.

Now im back in North Carrick as a RA and loving it got my staff back and my head staff: Matt and Nolan and everybody has my back.

Sure things haven't gone my way but i can't complain because I have had everything i wanted and needed thanks to my friends. I really value my friends i am truly grateful i love them and they clearly love me. So until next time peace.

UT MEDICAL INSTITUTE IS ONE WORD: RATCHET!!!

Not in a good way like Hurricane Chris says ratchet in a bad way like bootleg DVDs. Let me tell y0u why:

Last Monday i was playing ball and tore my ACL which is a pretty bad injury requiring surgery because if you let it go too long then you can have permanent damage. So when i go in to get my MRI results read the doc is like yea we need surgery and telling me about it and describing stuff, everything is on the up and up right now so im like cool. Im nervous has hell because i've never had surgery before nor have i never been put under before. So im thinking of all the bad stuff that could happen and the thing is the doc scheduled this appointment last week on Wed i believe so i been wating over a week for this surgery. So finally last night i put myself in the mind frame of ima be strong and the Lord's gonna take care of everything with this surgery. The surgery is scheduled for 1:00 for prep and 2:30 for the actual surgery today. I had my ride set up and everything..i had already told people about it and to pray for me..things were in place.....



But @ exactly 10:50am i get a phone call from UT MED saying "I have to reschedule cus i made a mistake and accidentally took on sum emergency surgerys today. I could still get u in but i don't know what time i would get to it, can i reschedule you for monday @7:10am".,........



People this is where i almost lost it....

1. How the hell do accidentally take on sum emergency surgery when your not even an emergency surgeon, your an orthopedic surgeon.

2. How are you just gonna fit me in today when i have SURGERY. Not a check up not a physical, a real deal surgery.

3. Then you give me the earliest surgery time known to man. Because the surgery may be @7:10 yet ima have to be there @like 5:30 for prep. Which also means i have to wake up someone else again to take me becuz i can't drive to my surgery.

4.SURGERY!! SURGERY!! HOW DO YOU RESCHEDULE SURGERY?????!!!!!!



This isn't the first time UT Med has pissed me off.....



Last year me and my line brothers were practicing for our probate and i accidentally jumped up to high and busted my head open on a concrete slab above us....i know just think abowt that for a sec............so anyway like this wasn't no small cut or nothing this was a real deal contusion on the head like at the top where the brain at. Blood is everywhere so i get rushed to the hospital and they get me in a room....now im thinking ok i got head trauma this should take like 5-10 min for them to come in and work on me....wrong!!!!....it took 3 HOURS for them just to come in and say "hmmm thats a big contusion on ur head ur gonna need staples" WELL THANK YOU OL' WISE ONE I COULDN'T FIGURE THAT OUT MYSELF!!! the entire time im asking the nurse can i get sum asprin or sumthing and she like "no cuz u don't want to take anything yet until the doctor comes and checks" Realize people that my head is still bleeding i am holding the blood back blood with a t shirt they didn't even give me a towel or anything!!! So then the nurses come in and there as dense as a doorknob and they are the ones in charge of shaving the hair around my open wound...

SIDENOTE: If you have ever had to shave anything in ur life, u know that u have to have shaving cream or its gonna hurt and aggravate the skin. Imagine that ur hair is abowt half a inch high u have a open wound with blood coming owt, no shavin cream, and two slow azz nurses who are more scared of shaving ur head than u are?

Back to the story...
So this two testtube babies are trading the razor back and forth talking bout "u do it..no u do it" not realizing that i am a human sitting here that feels everytime u scrap that dam razor across my open contusion.
So after tweedle dee and tweedle dumb get through the doc comes in....WITH A F**KING ATTITUDE like i just messed up his day because i came to a hospital for help...excuse me then...He doesn't even prep he is like "i gotta use staples...its gonna hurt alot....don't move" If i wasn't abowt to pass owt from all the pain i would have said somethin but i was jus to busy trying not to blackowt from somebody STAPLING MY HEAD WITH NO TYPE OF ANAESTHESIA!!!!!!

So in conclusion....UT MED IS RATCHET..unfortunately i still have to go back on Monday and deal with these people again...Pray for me seriously I don't like doctors or doctors offices and im terrified abowt surgery regardless if it is knee surgery or not....Leave comments abowt ur hospital horror stories...

Roger Goodell shows how to be a REAL commish


Roger Goodell reinstated Micheal Vick on conditional bases to the NFL. He in my opinion made a great decision because he didn't just make the decision on his own merit he consulted with veteren players and coaches. I hope Vick does right and doesnt' end up like Pacman Jones...he just burned the hell owt of the Cowboys. So Vick its up to you now, you got the talent, get around some people that will keep you owt of trouble be smart and go bring the OAKLAND RAIDERS a championship.....oh you didn't know he was gonna be wit Oakland...well i gotta make a few phone calls to make it happen..
