Relax, Relate, Release

The New Year is only a couple of hours away, and I must admit it hasn't been all bad. The good news, I finally broke free from Audra this year. The bad news...well, I guess there is no bad side to that one. It took some adjustments, but it has all worked out for the best. I think I am most proud of how I have been praying and pushing through adversity. My grades were okay, but not to my expectations. I'm just more relieved than anything that my grandmother will be okay after finding out that she has, or had cancer. I was very proud of myself for being the strong one and keeping people calm. Some of my family members looked like they were about to lose it all together, including my mom. I think her and my mom are very emotional and not willing to admit at all. Oh well. But this whole Kenisha thing is still bothering me. I'll get over it, but it took us breaking up for me to realize that I may have lost focus on what was truly important.

I think of all the good things that have happened though. The trip to Mexico, the road trip to New Orleans and then Colorado for Gerald's wedding, and coaching basketball, and my good grades the previous year, I really can't complain. I think my only frustration is my relationship with Mrs. Rochelle. She is never around and it is starting to get a little frustrating, because I really need guidance with AASA, but I guess I will have to push on without the help. But I will not go into he new year complaining, I'm submitting all to God and let him guide. Oh, say a prayer for all those who are not going into 2004 with us. Peace.

When The Saints Come Marching In

Last night was great. The church I joined under watch care got a bus and took the church and AASA to a New Orleans Saints game. Actually, or adviser's husband has a nephew who is a starter on the defensive line. This guy was huge even for a professional football player. Very rarely do I stand next to someone and feel like a small person. But we got to the family section and get food in the tent and get autographs from the other players. Joe Horn is hilarious, not only did he sign autographs but when I asked him about the cell phone he pulled out after he scored his touchdown he told me that he planned it and he had a cell phone under each goal post pad. He also was cracking jokes about all the groupies and baby mama's that had gathered around the exit of the locker room and there was ton of them lurking around, it was funny. In the mean time, I could hear Coach Haslett in the background talking to a news outlet and he wasn't very happy about it at all the touchdown celebration. I think he is gonna fined before the next game. Anyway, I didn't realize how nice The Super Dome is on the inside, it's a lot brighter than what it looks on tv and that's real grass the play on too. The only thing that was strange was the bad condition of the dome's ceiling. Certain parts were water damaged and other parts of tile were missing. I thought everything the NFL did was top rate. Oh well, I hope they get that fixed soon. But all in all it was a great experience with my first NFL game. Well, I'm home for the Christmas break now, time to relax. Peace.

I'm out...

Dear Kenisha,

Thanks for totally ruinning my flow and my day. I'm not sure what was worse. What you just said to me over the phone, or how you just did it. Damn. I want to say my feelings are hurt, but I'm so blown back that it will be a minute before I can really think about this thing. So before I get upset any further, I'm gonna get my mind set ready to have fun at the Saints game tomorrow. Aiight? So...have a nice day...or life.

Sincerely,
Everett D. Welch
