So, it's now 2009. We made it. We all need to be thankful. Some people calling 2008 the best year ever as far as sports goes. 2008 was an historic year. Micheal Phelps handled business in the Olympics. USA redeemed itself as the dominant country in basketball. We got the first mixed Presidential-elect. Yeah yeah, I know people saying he's black. Let me explain something, one of his parents was white, the other was black. Therefore he's mixed. 2008 is behind us, and now we got 2009 to look forward to. Now the question is, are we going to go through 2009 with the same crutches we had in 2008? Are we going to let the same issues and habits from 2008 control us in 2009? Or are we going to let go of all that and let God have his way?
As most of y'all know, I'm a little bit on the heavy side. Society would say that I need to lose weight to become "healthier." I was thinking about that. Now I would love to lose weight, but do I want to lose the weight for the right reason? Do I want to lose the weight for me, or do I want to lose the weight to be accepted by society? Do I want to lose the weight for my on health, or do I want to lose the weight to somehow have a better chance of finding the "better half?" Basically what I'm saying is, what ever change you want to make, weather it's a short term or long term change, do it for yourself. Don't let society or the media inspire you to make your life changing decisions. If you want to lose weight, do it for you. Now when you lose weight and people that wouldn't give you the time of day when you were fat try to be your friend, be careful. Me personally, I wouldn't let them in. I'd let them know that they didn't me the time of day when I was fat, now that I'm fit, you want to be my friend. The devil is a liar.
So I know this is pretty short compared to other blogs, but it's the first of the new year. Hope y'all have a safe and prosperous 2009. Stay saved.

Happy Christmas to one and all!
So I'm seeing all this "Christmas cheer" going around and I guess it's a good thing. People being nice to each other. People acting like they got some sense, ok some acting like hey got some sense. Now really, shouldn't it be like this everyday? Shouldn't we be nice to each other, everyday? Why does it have to be just Christmas for us to feel all cheerful? Oh yeah that's right because the "secular world" has programmed us to hate life and hate ourselves except on Holidays. At least that's what it seems like to me. Another thing I want to get off my chest is this whole "X-Mas" thing. I understand it takes up less space, but to me it's real disrespectful to the reason of the season which is Jesus. Before I go further, to any Bible Scholars out there don't even bother because my dad already told me. The point is, I feel, is that X-Mas is taking the Christ out of the Holiday. I know people feel no harm from it, but I really take it personal when I see all these, "Merry X-Mas" going around. And some are from Christians, which is mind boggling to me. There's a song that I used to listen to all the time that talks about the world needs to know that Christ is Christmas. Some of you may not think is a big deal, but it is to me, and I feel it should be to other Christians and "Christians" out there.
So it's 3:18 on Christmas morning as I'm typing. In about 4 hours we're going to be opening our gifts, then we're going to be heading off to my Grandma's house. Odds are I probably won't be going to bed tonight. It would be a waste of time if I do. I didn't say I wasn't going to sleep, but the odds of getting a good sleep is slim to none. Anyway, the reason I'm even up right now is because my mom wanted me to put music on her mp3 player. So after I added all the songs mom wanted, I shuffled the list. Then when I tried to sync the list, it jacked up the order I had it in. So I had to stop the sync, add the songs back on, shuffle again to my liking, save it as a playlist, then get to syncing only to have it jack the list up again, then stopped the sync again, added the playlist I saved, and finally got it to sync the way I wanted it to. AND, I still got a mix cd or cds to burn to listen to on the way to Grandma's house. Merry Christmas to me, I guess.
Word to the wise, if you wear a du-rag, don't put it on to tight. I had my du-rag on so tight last night, that there's still a mark on my forehead now. People at church kept asking me what happened. Thinking about it now I should've just made up some stories. Of course that would be lying, and as we all know, lying is wrong.
You know, if I ever find the one girl made for me, I want everything to be just perfect. Well as perfect as it can be. I don't want to go out on dates with her. Now the reason I say that is because, the way dating is used now, it's nothing but a make-out session that usually leads to bumping and grinding. I just want to be friends. Before any of y'all think it, I know the term, "Let's be friends," is usually a bad thing, but does it really have to be? I would want my wife to be my best friend. Being best friends, would mean that I we would have conversations. We wouldn't flirt with temptation, like I talked about in the previous blog. I don't know. And personally, I would want the first kiss to be on the Wedding Day. None of that making out crap, because to me that's flirting with temptation. I hear some people talking about making out and dating, and they treat it like they're trying on girls like trying on some jeans to see how they fit. Is that really classy? Does it really take for you to swap spit with like 10 girls to realize that you found the right one? I don't want to go through that. I would want the wedding to be pure as can be. Nobody is perfect, and I understand. But I serve a God...
Ok, so let me get to making this mix CD for the road, and try to rest my eyes for a smidge. Y'all thanks for reading. I know theres other blogs you could've read but you chose to read mine and it's appreciated. I hope you make time to comment and subscribe. Stay saved.

Don't give place for something bad to happen
That's something I think we all got to work on. This is not just for Christians, I think it's for all of us. The Bible talks about not giving place to the devil. We sometimes leave ourselves wide open for something bad to happen. We flirt with temptation. A person trying to quit smoking should not keep the temptation of cigarettes in reach. That's flirting with temptation. A person trying to get delivered from a perverted spirit, should not search videos or TV shows that will trigger something. Notice I said search, because I'm willing to bet that those movies, videos, or whatever are going to show up out the blue. When that happens, it's on you to change the channel or do what you have to do, but if you continue to watch them, you're flirting with temptation. Let's say you're a Christian couple, and both of you believe that sex before marriage is wrong. You shouldn't put yourselves in a predicament that would cause something sexual to happen. You shouldn't do certain things thinking, "I'm strong enough or I know better not to let anything crazy happen." I know people that's thought that and nine months later the baby is crying begging for milk. All in all, I'm saying don't flirt with temptation because it will show you that you're not as strong as you think you are. Trust me on that.
So what's up y'all? Another week another blog. I did a podcast the other day for the first time since the election. I posted the link in a blog entry before this one, so after reading this. Go to the link and check out the podcast if you haven't already. For those who don't know I've been sick for the past days. I guess when my mom left for her field assignment she felt that she would leave her sickness with me. I'm feeling better now though. I can actually breathe a little bit and talk normal. Because of the sickness I couldn't go to choir rehearsal last week, and for me that sucked. I love music. I love singing, and when I get the chance, I love to play the drums. Most of y'all know that. So missing a rehearsal was hard. Hopefully this week I can get back on track.
For the record, my mom is not in Chicago. Some of you know that she went to Illinois, and immediately people started thinking she was in Chicago. She's actually 4 hours away from Chicago, and about 30 minutes from St. Louis. Just for the record.
So anyway, I haven't really been up to anything besides being sick. Went to a good Christmas banquet for church. The members found out how much I can talk. For all of you that think I'm quiet, um, not no mores. My sister claims I talk more than her, but I don't know how that's possible. FYI, be on the lookout. My youtube channel, http://www.youtube.com/danielakabigd, could be used to promote a local gospel rap group. Which means that I'll actually post videos that will get views. I haven't got details on that, but I'm just sayin.
That's all I got for this week good people. Subscribe if you haven't. Comment and share your thoughts, specifically on the first paragraph. Stay saved.

yo yo yo yo yo, yo, YO!
You have to be a fan of the WWE to know what the title means. Don't worry, it most likely has nothing to do with what this blog is going to talk about this week.
So this morning my mom left for her field assignment. She's on a two day drive on her way to Illinois. She's going to be gone for a year or more coming home once a month. It's really going to suck more than a hooker on a Friday night. Mom left me with a man that makes Oscar the Grouch the nicest man on Earth. I'm sorry to all family members and church members that are reading this in advance, but my dad is a pain. And it's going to be pure hell for the next year. I wouldn't blame my sister for not coming home at all, even if it's to do laundry. Now I'm not going to spend more time bashing the man that is my dad, but I am going to say that if anything's a wake up call for me to get myself together, this is it. If I don't get myself together as in get a job, get my license, etc. and just spend time by myself getting more depressed and more angry...it's nobody's fault but mine.
Now, changing the subject all together. Jack Black. I think he's a great performer. He's a great entertainer. With that said, I've lost a lot respect for him. There's a video circulating around, if you haven't seen it, with celebrities protesting the decision made in California on Prop 8. On one side they had celebrities impersonating priests and church members, and on the other side they had celebrities impersonating homosexuals. Then later in the video, Jack Black came out dressed out as Jesus. I guess that was supposed to be funny. If it was, you have to forgive me if I don't laugh. I don't find it funny playing with the Bible. I don't find it funny, or ok, making a joke of the Bible. In the video, or should I say, what I saw of it, the people mentioned the fact that in Leviticus it says that homosexuality is a detestable sin. Jack Black came out dressed as Jesus, as I said, with some shrimp saying that Bible said that shrimp was wrong. Now if you read around Leviticus 11:10 on, it does talk about not eating certain animals and other things. It does say that. But, if you go to Acts the 10th chapter, Peter was on a roof top hungry. And a blanket came from heaven with all kinds things that were considered an abomination in Leviticus. God told Peter to rise, kill and eat. Peter said in so many words, "How can I, when it's unclean." Then God said, "What I call clean, don't you call unclean." All this reminds me of when Satan tried to tempt Jesus by using the Word. Satan got schooled then, so why would he try to use celebrities to do the same thing. Another thing. I don't know about y'all, but God's wrath is something I don't want to play with. You can play with God's wrath, but not me sir. Not me.
I was thinking the other day. I have online friends, and I'm thankful for y'all. PraiZe, Yungtown, and others. Y'all my people. But there was a time when we as a family was living in a 2 story apartment. In the aparment complex, I used to have friends that I was actually in contact with. Two dudes Gregory and Dustin I met at random. I met Gregory while he was fishing with his Dad, and I forgot how I met Dustin, but that's beside the point. We were, in so many words, a clique. My sister was with us too. What I'm basically saying is that I had friends. We'd play outside. We'd go to each other's apartments and just chill. What happened to me that I've lost the ability to attract friends. It seems like after high school, I've become this loner that has gained a "nobody likes me, everybody hates me" type of thing. I've gained a lot of associates at church and where ever, but other than that...just mainly my online people I hit up. Sometimes I barely talk to them. Not on purpose by any means. So what's wrong with me? The Bible says if you want friends you have to show yourself friendly. I must not be doing a good job.

P.S. If you must know I'm currently listening to "Jesus Be A Fence" by Fred Hammond. Noisy...:D

lol, lmbo, haha....SHUT UP
Don't judge me for the title, it was the most creative thing I could think of, k? So I got a comment for the last blog that said it was difficult to follow the blog because I kept showing what I was listening to. I got that concept from Matt Hardy, who is the WWECW Champion and also one of my favorite wrestlers WWE offers right now. Anyway he sometimes types random blogs, but he calls them "Cryptic Blogs." In those particular blogs he types out random stuff sometimes with hidden messages in them, and in the midst he types out what he's listening to on his iPod. So I figured I should add to my randomness and do it myself. Not necessary the hidden messages thing, but the thing with showing what I'm listening to. It makes this feel more like a diary you know? FYI, I'm listening to "You Are God" by Voices of Unity.
So there's a video out there that y'all really need to check out in my opinion. It's basically a video rant on what happened on this past "Black Friday." Where a guy got trampled to death while shoppers rushed in a Wal-Mart to get whatever they could with the deal. Some of y'all know of Chris Thompson aka Jungleboy. He's the one that did the rant. The link to his youtube is: http://www.youtube.com/supricky06. The video is right on the page as of this moment. It's a real touching video. Now my opinion of the whole sitution? I think that's extremely sad that we as a society are so driven by material things that we seem to live and die by them. Chris said it in the video that the Holiday season is not about the gifts, it's about spending time with your family. I made a comment on the video saying that we need to start enjoying life. We need to teach the next generation what's right and wrong. We need some real parents, not the new millenium parent, because that doesn't seem to be working. Anyway check out the video, and share your thoughts with him. And if you want to know because you're noisy, I'm currently listening to "Praise Him" by Byron Cage.
I hope y'all had a good Thanksgiving Holiday weekend. We made food like we were feeding a football team besides 4 people. So if y'all hungry for some leftovers, we got more than plenty. The food was good though. It's become a tradition that my sister has to get the first plate. I don't know why or how it actually became a tradtition, but for the past how many years, she's always got the first plate. It's truly insane.
Back to the "Black Friday" thing for just a sec, I just saw something in the newspaper that said that two people were shot to death in a crowded toy store. Are you freaking kiddin' me? Brad Pitt said something in the movie Fight Club, "Things you own end up owning you." People stop letting things own you because of you let material things own you, things like this happens.
So some nights ago, I was honored to be one of two people to write a review for a mixtape. Two of my friends Yungtown and PraiZe collabed on the mixtape and they did a tremendous job. It's a Gospel rap mixtape. I recommend y'all to check it out. It's a free download, and it's worth it. Here's the link: http://www.mediafire.com/?i1zziujmtyg. I was in a chatroom last night, because Yung and PraiZe was on a online radio show promoting the mixtape. This chatroom reminded me of why I left messageboards. Some of these people were more annoying than watching an episode of Mind of Mencia.
Aight y'all thanks for reading. To all the followers, subscribers, readers. If you haven't, please subscribe and I try to keep these interesting. Stay saved.

Who knows what's coming out my fingers next?
To all my subscribers, readers, and friends! What's up? Starting off with "Death Story" by Lecrae on Windows Media. Again this week don't really have a straight topic I want to go over. Am I the only one who finds those Geico commercials hilarious? In my opinion, those are the best ones being put out right now. "Don't Be A Fool" by Elle Es is playing now. It was same old stuff different week for me. Didn't do anything at all. The evaluations hadn't happened yet at church, but i've come to the point where when it does happen, I'm going to breathe in deep, and just say three words, "Bring it on." "Thou Are Worthy" by John P Kee is playing now. It's like, I'm going to be in a no where to run, no where to hide type of scnerio anyway, so I might as well take it. It's like that episode of Tom and Jerry, yes I do watch Tom and Jerry, when Tom was locked up with a bull. The bull was chasing Tom and Tom had no where to get out. So he put on a blind fold and lit up a cigarette, and let the bull run him over. That's sorta how I'm going to take the evaluation, except without the cigarette you know. Lung cancer is pain I hear. "Lookin Out For Me" by Kirk Franklin is on. So I've been spendin a lot of time lurking in Live Video chat rooms. Good God do the host hate that. If you want to tick a Live Video host off something awful, lurk in the chat room and don't a word. Ooh, the response is classy. Not really classy, but it's highly entertaining. Nah, I do go into the chatrooms sometimes, it just depends on who's in there. There is one particular person I refuse to be in the same room in. That's all I'm going to say about that. "Rivers Flow" by Marvin Sapp is playing on the Windows Mediacles. So I've been getting angry a little bit too easily lately, and sadly my mom's been getting the worse of it. That's definitely not fair to her. What's real sad is I know what the Bible says about anger, and yet I still sometimes let it control me. I personally think it's a sign that I really need to get out of this town and/or house. I'm losing the little sanity I do have everyday I continue to stay at home and do nothing, and I do mean nothing, with my life. It's nobody's fault but mine, and I know that. Will I do something about it? Your answer is as good as mine, because I really can't tell you. If any of you have AIM be free to hit me up. My screenname is BigdDrums. The only instant message I got this week was while I was typing earlier in the blog from a friend of mine, JKCT. Don't ask what that stands for because I don't have the slightest. "Restoration" by Ruben Studdard is on now. Recently I started using Firefox rather then Internet Explorer. I notice, at least for me, that it's quicker and better then IE ever was. I'm thinking that I'm going to have hot cocoa with the whip creamacles on top. Sounds so good right now. "Overcommerture" by Israel and New Breed is playing now. Should I be scared that my dad tends to say stuff to himself the same things I'd say when I was a little kid? Just a thought. "That Ain't Nothin'" by Fred Hammond is on now. Just a quick message to all that is still trashing Obama. Let it go. Just let it go. I think some of y'all are underground racist and just scared to admit it. Yes I said it. Boom suckahs!! Seriously, I saw something that this guy was going to get a T-Shirt with a baby on it with a statement that said something like "If my child makes a mistake, I don't want her to live with the baby." With Senator Obama written on the bottom. Come on sir. That's way to far, and so far over the line even Bill Maher is like, "Come on sir." "You've Been A Friend" by Israel and Newbreed is ending the show tonight. Thanks to all that's has subscribed. If you haven't subscribed please do. Y'all stay saved.

Expect Anything
Starting this blog off with "There Is A Balm In Gilead" by the Clark Sisters. I'm bored. Just letting y'all know up front. So don't expect this blog to be as deep as they have been recently. So I got an instant message from this guy I haven't chatted with in months. Really had no desire to chat with him again, but he instant messaged me and asked me if I had a X-Box 360. I said no. He ask why. I said, "A) It's expensive B)I'm broke and C) I don't want one period." Now let me warn you, the next line is probably the most genius lines you'll read today. Before I tell you what he said, "Outro" by T-Bone is playing. Now the guy said, "abc is like 123." I wish I was making that up. I couldn't even respond to that. I couldn't phathom that he actually thought and typed that out. Then he actually sent it to me. "Not Guilty (Parkview Mix)" by John P. Kee is now playing. So I exited out the whole conversation without saying a word because there was obviously nothing to say to that. Have you ever find yourself looking at either one of your parents thinking, "How are you not rocking back and forth in a straight jacket?" I'm telling you I'm afraid to become a parent. I see how mentally insane my dad is and I don't want that. I'm already crazy enough, I don't need any help. You may be saying, "Daniel, don't think that about your dad." Yeah, you say that because you don't know him. I live with him. It's an experience I'm dying to forget. "Shake Your Body" by T-Bone is rocking the ear phones now. So at the church, the music leaders are going to be giving evaluations. They told us that at the end of the last choir rehearsal. That junk flipped me the crap out. The first thought that entered my mind was, "Uh oh." I don't know why I start thinking negative but I just don't take criticism well. I take it to personally. I don't feel like crying in front of these people. Yes I do cry, and crying does not make you gay, which is the title of one of my popular videos on youtube. "Running to You" by Deitrick Haddon. Speaking of Deitrick be on the looking out for a review of his new CD Revealed. It's already typed and saved. So even though I'm not going on messageboards any more, I'm still working on my story. I just don't feel rushed or pressured to post it anywhere. When or if I ever complete it, I have no idea what I'm going to do with it. I don't want it just to sit there. Hopefully I'll have some direction of what I want to do soon. "What's the Password?" by Canton Jones is on. I've been watching a lot of Kevin Smith videos on youtube. The videos are mostly from his Q and A's released on DVD. I one that loves honestly. I love when people are blunt. "Holy" by Israel and New Breed is playing now. Anyway, I also respect a high paid director, like Kevin Smith, that can conduct sessions with us regular people and be honest about everything. Now I don't agree with the cussing and all that, but you can't deny that nothing is funnier than true stories sometimes. "Changed Me" by John P. Kee is playing. You know those Adidas Basketball commericials that's been coming on lately? I got curious and went to adidasbasketball.com and watched the videos. My favorite was the one with Tim Duncan's team versus Tracy McGrady's team. Not was it cool to see youngins get a chance to play in the spotlight, but it was hilarious to see McGrady's get fustrated at the calls. All the videos were good though. I recommend any rising basketball player to go on the site and watch them. I'm definitely going to make myself some coffee after I finishing typing this thing. I know that all that caffine is not healthy, but I'm not trying to win a beauty contest, sir. I got to do better, I know. "Time to Leave" by John Reuben. I think the name of the song is a sign that it's time for me to stop. Thanks for reading my randomness, I'll try to do better the next time. Or not. It depends on what's on my mind. Be blessed.

My review of Voices Of Unity’s CD: Together in Worship
I Gotta Praise (Holy One) ~ This track is a great variation of the classic song often used during shout music. Being a musician, the musical arrangement on this song is bananas. With that the vocal flow is good also. The message of the song is of course talking about praising God, the Holy One. Great song.
Watch Me Praise Him ~ When I saw Deitrick Haddon perform this on TBN, I was immediately hooked. Again this is turn of and old traditional song. One of them songs that you can't help but nod your head too. Deitrick’s wife, Damita, is singing on this CD and is doing a tremendous job. Another great song. The musical arrangement and vocal flow is great also. This CD is starting off awesome.
We Worship You ~ The musical arrangement at the beginning is a little weird for my taste. This track features the awesome Pastor William Murphy III. This is definitely not your average Gospel song. The build-up to the chorus is crazy though. The chorus is awesome. I’m really feeling this track. I admit the musical arrangement sounded weird in the beginning, but man, does it get better. If you’re a fan of William Murphy and Israel Haughton, and this is the track for you.
Take Rest In Me ~ Deitrick is singing on this track. You can feel the presence of God strong from last track to this one. This track is mostly vocals, and the harmony and blend is just sick. This is a worship song. I would definitely call this track a show stopper track. Meaning that if this song was sung during a service, I can definitely see the Holy Ghost taking over and God having His way with the people. Wow. This track is just wow.
You Are God ~ This track is featuring artist Javen. I’ve seen Javen on the Gospel Music Channel and he wasn’t really my style. This is another worship song. It’s definitely a track toward Javen’s style of music. Alternative music is the best way I can describe his style. Not that there’s anything wrong with that, it’s just a favorite of mine. This song is talking about there’s none like God. Another track with crazy vocal arrangements. Not a bad song at all.
We Cry Holy~ This song features Jason Champion. It just went into it which means I don’t think this is the whole song I’m listening too. Sounds like we come in right at the vamp. Not bad for the 3 minutes I heard of it.
Send a Revival ~ This track features Pastor Paula White. Paula is preaching is talking about reviving. She’s taking about the sound coming from Heaven. I’m loving the arrangement of this song. The title of the song is what the song is about, go figure. It’s about asking the Lord sending a revival and reviving us again. Paula is talking over the track while the background singers and choir is singing. She doesn’t overlap much at all so it easy to understand what the singers are singing. I like this track, not my favorite on the CD so far, but it’s good.
Heaven ~ Another one with Deitrick Haddon taking over the lead. Again it’s a worship song. Nothing wrong with that. It’s a simple song also. That’s not a bad thing by all means. Some of the best worship songs are the most simple. During the song he sings lyrics from the song “Oh the Glory of Your Presence,” which is a great song in itself.
It All Belongs To You ~ Once again, Damita Haddon takes lead. It has a piano intro to it. Sort of the likes of “Imagine Me,” by Kirk Franklin. Another simple song lyrically and vocally. Once again it’s a worship song. I really like this song also.
He’s Able ~ This track features the great Darwin Hobbs. I first heard of this song when we learned it at choir rehearsal at my church, New Harvest Ministries. I then searched for it on YouTube and immediately fell in love with the track. “God is able to do just what He says He will do. He’s gonna fulfill every promise to you. Don’t give on God ‘cause He won’t give up on you. He’s Able.” What more can you say? It’s a powerful song. It speaks to your heart. It’s based on the verse found in Ephesians 3:20 which says (KJV), “Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us.”
Praise Break (Momma’s God A Word) ~ This is featuring Prophetess Joyce Haddon. We definitely learn where Deitrick got his spiritual teaching from. What a powerful word.
My Father’s House ~ This is the last track which is featuring Shirley Murdock. It’s an upbeat song. The bass line is crazy. Following the trend of the other tracks, the vocals are again insane. Again I’m loving the bass. Shirley is a beast, which means if you don’t know that she is extremely talented.
This CD was recorded live at Without Walls International Church. Nothing against studio albums, but something about when you know a Gospel CD is recorded with a live audience you can really feel the anointing of God in the midst. I give this CD 5/5 stars. One of the better Live CD’s I’ve heard. With Deitrick, this was the best I’ve heard from him. Sometimes with Deitrick, at least to me, it sounds like he’s trying to entertain more then he’s trying to reach. With this CD, not only did he entertain, he spoke to our hearts. He really let the Holy Ghost have his way with this one. My opinion…definite must buy for any fan of choirs, worship, and just letting God do His thing.

Dont act like you didnt see this coming
Are you ready? Are YOU READY?!? Ladies and gentlemen, let's get ready for A RANT!!!
Barack Obama, a black man, more importantly a mixed man, is the new President-elect of the United States of America. You may be wondering why would I rant on that? You're recalling that I supported Obama. Well I did, and still am. What I'm going to rant on is the anti-Obama people. As Chris Jericho used to say, "Would you please shut the [heck] up!" Get over it. Obama won. All I heard during the past week was Obama is the anti-christ, Obama is going to get shot, the rapture is going to happen if Obama wins. Obama is not a Christian. All that bull crap. Please save it for your momma or fake Christian messageboards, because I don't want to hear it. First of all the Bible says that we shouldn't judge others. It said treat others like you want to be treated. We can't judge people's salvation. Isn't that what the Bible talks about? Think of it this way, who's going to be the one who has the final say where we go when we die? Not you. Not me. So stop judging. Another thing, why are y'all worried about who the anti-Christ is anyway? Y'all sounding like you want to be here to meet the man. So you want to pass up being caught up in the Rapture, to be on the Earth with no Holy Ghost, and suffer through all the stuff talked about in Matthew 24, just to meet the anti-Christ? Not for me sir. I don't want to know, and don't care to know who the anti-Christ is. Besides all that, besides trying to warn people of the anti-Christ, shouldn't we getting people to know Christ? Isn't that what we as Christians supposed to do? I guess I was wrong. Btw, it's been a couple of days since Obama was named Presidential-elect and the world hasn't ended yet. I'm still breathing in and out. I hear no sirens on the outside going crazy. I hear no riots. So much for that theory. And the thing about Obama being shot...what the crap? Some of y'all claim to be Christian. Christian means Christ-Like. In the book of Proverbs it talks about the power of life and death lies in the power of the tongue. One of the 10 Commandments that we were taught as kids was thy shall not kill. So you're speaking death to the next President of the most powerful country in the world? Not a very good testimony to have sirs and ma'ams. I'm just saying. Besides speaking death on the man, we should be speaking life and praying for him. Weather you voted for him or not, weather you agree with his views or not, he's going to be your next President.
I mentioned before about fake Christian boards. I feel sorry for Gospel rappers who provide messageboards for their fans to come together, and all the "fans" do is cause drama. All they do is speak death like I talked about in the paragraph above. If you go to some messageboards you'll find that most people are depressed, some are cutting themselves, some are even contemplating sucide. I'm not lying about that. And these are supposed to be Christian messageboards, and we got people debating almost to the point of cussing each other out. Your heart has to go out to the Gospel rapper who made the messageboard in the first place. It's like if you go to a church that isn't functioning properly, who is going to get the blame? The pastor. It's like you're at a school and it has the lowest grades in it's district, who's going to get the blame? The principle. A sports team is losing every game and it seems like every player has no discipline at all. Who's going to get the blame? The coach. See what I'm saying? The people on these messageboards should have have more respect for the owner of the board and not bring stupid pointless drama and cause a havoc. KJ-52, my heart goes out to you man. I left that board and another board because it was not good for my sanity.
Back to the election, in my home state of California, they put a ban on same sex marriages. Now some people in California are protesting and rioting over that. Me? I think it's God's will being done. The Bible clearly states that homosexuality is a destable sin. It also talks about if you pratice it you will not inherit the kingdom of God. The Bible also says that the wicked shall be turned onto hell and ALL NATIONS THAT FORGET GOD. And as the song says, I know the Bible is right, and somebody's wrong. That the person who is practicing Homosexuality, they can get saved. God loves the person, he hates the sin. My opinion, I think it's great that California voters voted to put a ban on same sex marriages. It's just not right. I hear people say stuff like, "If you were in their shoes, wouldn't you want rights?" If I was in their shoes I'd be on my way to hell if I didn't repent and give my life back to God, bottom line. I don't care what you say, you can't compare this gay rights movement to the civil rights movement back in the day. You can't compare. Now I don't agree with hating a person because he or she practices the sin of homosexuality because like I said eariler, we are not to judge. So killing a person because of a habit or sin is not right. But killing because of a habit and killing because of skin color or race is completely different. I don't know this for sure, but their possibly could've been homosexual black people that went through crap just like the straight ones did. The racist couldn't careless what your habit was, all they saw was that you were black and you were counted as 3/5 of a human being. Get what I mean? You can't compare the two. I'm sorry. Again, I'm not bashing the person. I'm not bashing the person, I'm bashing the habit they pratice. Like I hate smoking and drinking. Some people I know does both. If anything I'd tell them that they need to stop smoking, they need to stop drinking...doesn't mean I'm going hate them for it. For me that would be hating my own family. I know a couple of people who do practice homosexuality and they are some of the funniest, nicest people you've ever meet. See what I mean?
John 3:16 (NLT) says "For God loved the world so much that he gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life." God loves you inspite of what you do and say. He still loves you. Romans 10:9 (NLT) says, "If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. " Notice it doesn't say you have to be emotional. It says nothing about crying or anything like that. it simply says that if you open your mouth and say that Jesis is Lord and believe with all your heart that God raised Jesus from the dead, you will be saved. Some of us have made mistakes in the past week, heck the past 24 hours that we regret, but God is a forgiving God, and we got to be willing to truly repent, turn away, from those mistakes. I don't know why I typed this last paragraph, but here you go. Be blessed.

Is Obama’s faith affecting your vote?
I know off the bat that this blog is going to tick some of you off. Some of you are going to cry and moan, but not tell me. Some of you are going to agree with what I'm going to say, but not tell me. And some of you already have exited the blog. Either way, this is all my opinion. I was chatting with my good friend PraiZe and this blog idea came to mind. So, with all that said, let's start the debate. Big Dusty, the floor is yours.
Is it important what Obama's faith is? I guess to a point it is, but shouldn't it be his own business? Now people went in an uproar because of his name, but come on now. Don't act like you haven't seen a black person with a strange name before. Jay Z calls himself J-Hovah, and there's no uproar for that, Christians? or should I say for some of you "Christians?" I actually know of a person whom will remain nameless...ok let's call him "JD"...who is making a video explaining why Obama's not a Christian. *faints* Give me a break sir. Ok Barack views may not agree with some of our morals. I understand that. BUT. George Bush was apparently for our "morals." Against gay marriage, against abortion...yada yada yada. Um, well good to see he did something about them in his 8 years in office. Oh huh, he didn't do anything about them....well crapacles. Let's say Obama may not be truly saved. Denzel Washington ain't truly save either, but he paid the building fund of a church in California. I don't think women are going to stop going to see Denzel in movies just because he cusses. Am I right? Now realistically the vote next week is between two people, McCain and Obama. I know there's others out running but do they have a chance? I say about as much of a chance of the Bengals winning Superbowl, but that's a different story. McCain and Obama has both flip flopped on what they said, McCain more than Obama has in my opinion. Both canadates have flaws. Oddly enough both are human and make mistakes. Before I end this I got something else to say because it's my blog. For all you people saying that Obama is the anti-christ...next time you have a thought, let it go. Just shut up. Anyway, all I'm saying is, questioning a man's faith who is running for leadership of the greatest country in the world less than a week before we as a nation vote is a pansy move. Real pansy move. I hear people bringing up Jeremiah Wright and the fact that Obama was a member of that church. Obama doesn't control what Wright says or does people. As far as I know, Wright was a pastor which means he has a mind of his own. What happened with Wright, has nothing to do with Obama and the way he will run this country if he wins. To tell y'all the truth, I really can't wait for all this election mess to be over with and done. We as Christians, besides questioning a man's faith, should be praying that who ever is in God's will to be in the White House, will be in that White House in January. Let's stop this nonsense. Clark Sisters has a song called "Pray For the U.S.A." That's exactly what we got to do. So let me know what you think? If you agree of disagree. I'm done.

Lecrae: Rebel...thumbs up, thumbs down?
2 thumbs way way......UP! This CD is one of the most increbible Rap CD's I've heard in a good while. From song 1 to song 15, just straight up crazy. Is it a must buy, in my humble opinion, yes. Musically, I loved it. Originality is something I look for, especially in Christian music. A lot of Christian rappers think they have to use secular beats to get sales and to get people to listen. I disagree sir. I've always said and always believed that Christian rappers can and should use oringinal beats. If you need a producer, http://www.myspace.com/speedygunz11. Great producer, and he's Christian. Speedy if you're reading, you're welcome. Anyway, back to Rebel, what a CD this was. I already talked about it muscially, now message wise, it was great also. The song Idenity comes to mind. All in all it was a great listen and the messages were inspiring. If you're a Gospel rap fan, heck if you're a rap fan in general, I highly recommend this CD.
This is just my opinion, so if you buy this CD and disagree with all I said...to each his own. Look foward to your comments. If you already have the CD, please share your opinion. Until next time, have a good one.

Take out the biscuts because here comes some gravy
Holy crud! What's happenin? Hope everybody's having a good week this week so far, I know am. I'll get into that in a little bit. I caught a little bit of the debate so I have no opinions on that. I didn't watch the VP debates last week because, well to be honest with you, I didn't want to. I had no desire what so ever to watch that. I heard it was a good debate though. I asked mom about tonight's debate and she said it was crazy. I don't know how to take that other than to move on.
I got a live version of the classic "We Worship Your Holy Name" by Kirk Franklin starting out this blog on Windows Media. To the reason I'm having a good week. A few weeks ago, God placed it on my heart to go on a fast. Now before you get ahead of me this was not a fast from food. It was a fast from the internet. I basically blew it off and didn't think much of it. This past Sunday however I decided that I would go ahead and do it. I started it Monday and will end it this Thurday. Now you may be asking, "How can you be on a fast from the internet, when you're on it now?" Well it's only during the day. From the time I wake up until my mom gets home from work, which is about 6:00 P.M. It's been two days thus far and it's really benefitted. I've studied good Word and have done some cleaning in the process. Without going into much detail, I'm basically studying the Bible on things I struggle with, and it's really opening my eyes. I'm asking for prayer these final two days that it will not be a waste and will serve it's purpose.
"Songs That Brought Us Over" by Kurt Carr is playing now. I've been slacking on my story a bit which is something I didn't want to do, and with this fast I'm on it's going to be difficult to work my way back into it. It still shocks me a little bit how people become hooked on the stories I write, or began to write but never finish. I guess if I happen to get subcribers on youtube with my interesting videos, anything can happen.
Something I thought about today. With all the drama on TV, on messageboards, etc, if people would open up and read the Bible, they'd find all the drama they want. I mean take time to read and study the Bible, and you'll find crazy stuff. Incest, rape, murder, love, lust...what else do you want? Now of course you should read the Bible for gaining understanding and to use it as a road map to heaven, I'm not disregarding that in the least. All I'm saying is, why waste time watching Soap Operas for drama when you can find it in the Word of God and learn from it at the same time? I guess that's just me, I don't know.
"I'm Gonna Praise Him" by West Angeles Church Of God In Christ Mass Choir is playing now. I'm getting tired, and I can't wait for what I'm going to study when I wake up. Hopefully when I get on at night I'll have some comments on the blog. Y'all have good one.
God Bless,

Another week, another month
Another week, another month. La di da. I got "He's Able" by Deitrick Haddon starting off tonight on Windows Media. I know most of y'all caught the debates last Friday night. In my humble opinion, McCain went out like a punk. If you noticed during the debates, when McCain talked about Obama, he never looked at him. He always mentioned him in third person talking down on him. Obama actually looked at McCain stating his point. He even a few times talked to McCain directly. Also, did it seem to anybody else that McCain always tried to go for the cheap laugh? Maybe it's just me. All I know is, if I was, which I'm not, but if I was a McCain supporter, I would've lost so much respect for him because of the debates. Your opinions are welcomed.
An oldie but goodie is playing now. "Order My Steps" by GMWA Women of Worship. Lately I've been studying the Bible more than I've ever have. I strongly urge anybody to study Matthew 24. In that chapter, it clearly tells you what's going on in the world today and what's going to happen later. "Don't Be A Fool" by Elle Es is on now. Btw, Brianna if you're reading this, your mixtape is off the chain. Now back to what I was saying. The Bible talks about studying to show yourself approved. Just something to think about. For those who know and have studied Matthew Chapter 24, I just got one question, Are you ready?
"Every Time" by CeCe Winas is playing now. Speaking of wrestling, I watched the Mr. Perfect DVD, although it was on dailymotion.com. Besides that, I think it was a well made DVD. Of course I didn't see all the extras, but the main, I guess you can say, documentary, was good. The roughest part of the whole thing for me was when it got to the part where Curt Henning passed away. I can't imagine being a father burying a son. If I ever have a son, I know I wouldn't want to go through that, God willing. It's like what Denzel Washington said in the movie John Q when they were contemplating on pulling the plug on his son, "I'm not going to bury my son. My son's going to bury me." When I get the money, I'm definitely going to get the Mr. Perfect DVD. I think any fan of pro wrestling/sports entertainment should get it also.
"Seated At The Right Hand Of God" by Tye Tribbett and GA is playing now. So I haven't done a video and/or podcast in a long time. Anybody got something they would like me to talk about or do a video about? Hit me up. I'm fresh out of ideas to be honest with you. I see some of my old videos on youtube, I start to think, how in the world did I get 45 subscribers? It's mind boggling to me. The people on LiveVideo must be smart because I hardly get any views on there. I also only got 7 subscribers, yet I only get like 3 views per video. That's odd.
"Stretch Out Your Hand" by Ricky Dillard is playing now. Well I probably could think of more to write, but I don't want to. I'm glad you y'all read my blog. I know there's others out there but you happened to read mine. That's awesome. Be back next week God willing.
Be blessed,
Daniel aka Big d

Sorry it took so long
Starting off this blog with a song that was ringing in me after Sunday morning service at the church, "No Weapon" by Fred Hammond. The song is based from Isaiah 54:17 (KIV) which says, "No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is of me, saith the LORD." Powerful verse, and powerful song. So anyway, sorry for the long break between blogs. It's hard coming up with subjects to talk about when you're not a big news watcher. It's hard for me to watch CNN, Fox News, etc because of all the hyprocrisy that goes on. I can't stand that stuff. Either way, let's see if I can figure out somethin for this blog.
"Rain On Me" by Bryon Cage is playing now. Another good song. So most of you that are reading have seen the new pic that I've posted. It's my default MySpace (where this is originally being typed) and FaceBook. I'm surprised it didn't get any comments. I'm guessing it proves Proverbs 18:24a which says, "A man that hath friends must shew himself friendly." It the midst of looking for that verse, "I Honor You" by Bishop T.D. Jakes started playing.
I'm drawing a blank people. I literally can't think of anything else to write about. To the people reading on Live Video, let me come clean. You know those lurkers that never come in and chat? hehe, sorry! I'll try to do better the next time.
"You Can" by Dorinda Clark-Cole is playing now. Ah, now I got something. The track I'm listening to now is produced by J. Moss, who is Dorinda's cousin. J. Moss is an excellent producer. He can also sing, but he's an overrunner. What I mean by that is that he seems to think, the more he runs, the more love he gets from his audience. Example? Well I'm glad you asked. His song, "Praise On The Inside" is an awesome track. Yesterday in the morning, Sunday morning, I was watching Gospel Music Channel, and low and behold J. Moss came on with a live performance of "Praise On The Inside." I changed the channel within 30 seconds because the runs were so irritating. Now don't get me wrong. I love runs. The late Rev. James Moore was the king of them, but if you feel that your voice is not secure enough to sing without runs, then how in the world did you get a record deal? That's exactly why I'll never own a Rance Allen CD. FYI, if you don't know what I mean by runs or running in a song, it means...well i don't know the webster's definition.
In the midst of trying to find a definiton a song has played and a song is playing. The song that played was "On Time God" by Dottie Peoples. The song playing now is "Perfect Peace" by Sammy Young. Now "This Is The Day" by Fred Hammond is playing. Before I another song sneaks up on me, Dad just came back home from work and I got the new WWE Magazine. So, I'm going to get to reading that. Hope you enjoyed the blog. Hopefully I said something that made sense.
Be blessed,
Daniel

Regular bloggers need love to, dang it!
Sound the alarm and scream, "Lunch!" How y'all been since the last blog. Hope y'all had a good Labor Day. I myself had ribs, baked macoroni-n-cheese, green beans, and bratwurst. Jealousy is an ugly face, let's get this moving...
I'm currently listening to the Akitunde radio show. Well it really hasn't started yet, all I'm hearing is commercials, but either way. Ok, now the intro music is playing. Either way, last night we had a great time at choir rehearsal at the church. It was one of the better rehearsals I've been too in a while, no lie. Being at rehearsal however, I missed the start of the NFL season. The Giants played the Redskins, so I guess I really didn't miss much.
So the presidential stuff is going crazy, right? Now, I'm not saying vote for McCain or Obama because that's your call. But what's up with the hyprocritical stuff going on, you know? It's like the elections have turned into World Wrestling Entertainment. Much respect to the Daily Show and Colbert Report for pointing out some of the hypocracy. I'm sure there's some going on in Obama's campaign, not entirely sure about that, but with the McCain side....my God! Ever since McCain chose Palin as a VP, hell broke lose. Speaking of that, what's the deal with that? Palin? Governor of Alaska for what, two years, I believe. Hardly any experience, except "Executive." Foreign experience claims, because Alaska is close to Russia? Give me a break. I've been to Florida, so does that mean I got foreign experience because Florida is close to Cuba? Shut up! Anyway, all the news network need to watch for what they say because news flash reporters, the camera is on and recording. So when you say something then say the complete opposite, we're going to catch it. And another thing, what's up with the Republicans talking down on Obama for the stuff he's done for the community. Since when helping people get jobs and off the streets a bad thing? Think, people, think. Now I know politicans, thinking is not a skill you have, but try it, and see how it works.
Enough about politics, let's move on. Regular bloggers need love too, y'all. Now I love reading WWE's Matt Hardy's blog, and other celeberity blogs I can get too. It's cool to see what they're really thinking on certain topics. But what about us regular bloggers? Can't we get some views and comments too? You'd probably be surprise at the intellengence found in some of the blogs from us non famous people. I'm not condemning famous people's blogs, but don't forget about us.
Akintunde asked a question, do you feel ok about your kids, or kids in general, getting taught by homosexual teachers? Lord, this section is going to cause arguments, but ok. As most of you know, I believe homosexuality is a sin. Homosexuals, I have no problem with. People I have no problem with. I do have a problem with homosexuality itself. So with that being said...this is a hard question, because part of me is saying that if they have the education and have the knowledge of the particular subject then no I don't have a problem with homosexuals teaching kids, but on the other hand, if a kid goes home and talks about how womenly their male teacher is acting, and you're teaching the kid how to act masculine...then there's a contradiction there. What y'all think? Y'all opinion's might help me out a little bit of what I'm trying to say.
Thanks for reading y'all. Have a good week. Be on a look out for a new podcast. Always remember, being a Bible Scholar won't necessarily get you in to heaven. You have to be a Bible follower. Be blessed.

Going random because I can son!!
1:40 in the morning in the east coast, and I'm going back to the old time way. When it comes to blogs, anyway. Yesterday I was looking through my old blogs and saw the classic random blogs. So I thought, tonight, I'm going random. Oh it's going to be a time. Got the music going with "My Walk" by Canton Jones. It's actually almost over. As a matter of fact, Elle Es just came on with her interlude "The Highest Education." Well, the Olympics is over. The USA Basketball team won Gold, proving that 2004 was a fluke. I missed the gold medal game because I was sleep. Darn these human trends. Sleeping, I mean really. Anyway, "Not My Will" by Sammy Young and his group is playing now. I'm loving this new TV we got in the living room. It's a 42" LG HD TV. I need a new profile pic, don't y'all think? I mean let me know. don't be talking about me behind my back. No judging. 1:48 in the morning now. I'm actually drawing a blank. I should do these more often, I'm losing it. So I've been listening to talk radio on the internet lately. "Everybody Dancing" by Canton Jones is playing now, but yeah, Christian comedian Akintunde hosts a great show from 2-4 in the afternoon...Eastern time. Dang people on the west coast be getting screwed! Bless your hearts, Westcoasters. 1:51 now. I missed WWE's Monday Night Raw because I took a nap an hour before it came on and I woke up when it went off. I went on the website to see what I missed and it looked to be a decent show. John Cena is injured again, which has to make the wrestling fans over the age of 5 happy. Anyway, "Stand Out" by Tye Tribbett is playing now. 1:54, by the way, thanks for all the love on last week's blog. It's great that I'm getting support week after week. Come on people, I know I'm not much to look at, but still. Look past that. I was really shocked that the only comment I got for last week's blog was from the youth minister from my church. He's on my top if you want to know. Devon is his name, but yeah. He probably still thinks I post these everyday. If you haven't already, check out my latest video. For you people on myspace, it's on the page. If you need the link, hit me up with your comments and I'll give it to you. For you people on LiveVideo...pfft. Y'all can't show a mixed boy love for nothing! FYI, "Incredible God" by Youthful Praise is playing. It's now 2:00 in the morning, for those trying to keep up. I don't know why, but do you. The Bible says in Proverbs I believe, comment and tell me if I'm wrong, but the Bible says that life and death lies in the power of the tongue. So why is it that some choirs are singing like there at a funeral for the pope? When did it become against the law for life to be involved in singing for the Lord? I mean, I've never been to one, but if you go to a regular hip-hop concert, they put life in their performances. Of course they're talking nonsense, but they be hype about the nonsense. So when a person comes in to church, and sees the choir singing songs flat with no life, what are they supposed to think? Come on now. Singing out, and singing with life is not against the law. "If I" by Grits is playing now. I guess I just have a third eye, so to speak when it comes to music. I hear and see stuff that some people don't. It's not demonic or anything like that, it's just like with comedians. They see something funny that most of us can't. It's a gift. 2:07, and most of you are tired of reading because I didn't seperate this into paragraphs. Sue me, I don't care. Paragraphs are for structured blogs, and I don't do those often. "Jesus Is All" by Fred Hammond, my favorite singer, is playing now. So to friends old and new, thanks for reading. I wasn't as random as I used to be, but I'll get back there eventually. Always remember, that being a Bible Scholar will not get you to Heaven. You have to be a Bible Follower. See y'all next week.

Giants do die, the bigger they are they harder they fall...
Hide the puppies it's Cruella! Hey everybody, hope y'all had a good week, I know I did. Before I get this blog started, there's a song that really describes the way I feel right now. You can check it out here at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hjn6XOWylNE. Now for the soon to be famous, maybe, blogging.
So this past Sunday night we had a youth service at the church, but this wasn't your traditional youth service. It was more of a one night revival. If you watched the link I posted earlier, then you got what the hold night was about. if you didn't watch the video, the preacher spoke of giants dying. He came from 1 Samuel where David killed Goliath. We all know the story of David and Goliath, if you don't, then you need to start going to Sunday School. Basically Goliath was a Giant, and David slayed him. Then he cut his head off to get a"head" in life. HA...ok seriously. Anyway, what David did to Goliath in the physical, we need to do to our struggles in the spiritual. Got me? So like I said, this past Sunday night was just awesome. It was a blessing to all who went. After the service was over, young people were still crying out to God and going strong.
Just got done watching Golden Child, to which I think it was completely underrated. It's one of my all time favorite movies, to be honest. Eddie Murphy, the star of the movie, did his thing. Plus it was back when he was at his comic best. Not to say that Eddie still isn't funny now because I'm one of the few people in the world that actually liked Meet Dave. And there will be judging on my movie choices. I don't believe in judging, unless I'm doing it.
I think there's a difference between a dad and a father. In the Bible, one of the 10 Commandments is to honor your mother and father, that your days may be long, right? But what about your dad? What if your dad has not been a father? Plus I don't think that commandment necessarily means just your mom and dad. I think it includes all the fatherly and motherly figures in your life. You feel me? Like your pastor should be a fatherly or motherly figure in your life. Now if your pastor is not like that, notice I said should be. But is my question legit? What if your dad has not been a father? Do you still honor him? I know you love him, but do you honor him?
Thanks for reading. This is probably the most Godly blog I've ever done in a while, but I don't consider that a bad thing. So show love, leave some comments. Always remember that you can be a Bible Scholar, but if you're not also a Bible Follower, you're not going to Heaven. Be blessed.

I’m so glad so glad that He gave me...THE GIFT TO WRITE!!
Leave your doors unlocked and let homewreckers like Snow White come in. I'm back with another one of my underrated, commented, and I'm guessing viewed blogs. I'm not going to sing it, I'm fixin to bring it.
So as we all know, we lost Bernie Mac and Issac Hayes. Bernie was one of the best comedians of all time. He definitely left his mark in the business. He will be missed. Issac Hayes was a funk legend. Known for the theme to Shaft. Also known as Chef from South Park. Let me say this about Hayes. He had to be one of the biggest hypocrites for leaving South Park as he did. He left because they did a show on Scientology? Are you kidding me? South Park is one of the most anti-religion, anti-values, anti-anything shows every put on TV. It just didn't make sense to me that's all. Another thing, I'm confused about. Most people believe that when they die, they go to Heaven or Hell. What do scientologist believe? Where do they supposedly go when they die? Science books? I'm just guessing because I don't know. It's crazy.
I've been drinking hot tea lately, is that weird? My sister said that hot tea has more caffine than coffee. That's strange because I just had two helpings, and I'm still tired as crap. What the barnicles?
So we got the Summer Olympics going on. Both basketball teams are dominatiing so far. Of course it's only been like one day, but anyway. Is anybody actually watching the Olympics? To be honest, I'm watching little by little. I watched that last little bit of the Women USA Basketball straight murder the Chinese. Not murder in the literal since, but you know, the Chinese lost by a lot of points. That sounds better.
