• Friday:

  Well, I was going to write a review about the Linkin Park/POD/ Hoobastank/Story of the Year concert.  However, it turns out that Chester is quite ill.   It looks like the concert won't happen until March 15 (a Monday).   That's just great. We have until February 16th to get a full refund.

  Since we  planned to attend the concert, we really didn't have any contingent ideas.   Mike came along with me to pick up Esther since traffic was horrendous at the time.   Once we picked her up, we met up with Charles at this coffee place.   We chilled there for a bit and decided to eat at Hodori.  Man oh man, what's up with that parking lot?   Can you say PACKED?    The food was pretty good though.

  After dinner, we headed over to Charles' apartment so he could pick up his laundry.   His closet is pretty cool.  It's a walk in closet and has a door that leads to the front room.  How dope is that?  Once he gathered his clothes, Esther and I split off to meet up with Jen and Wayne at TE.    We played Spades for a few hours and went home.  I ran into an old friend from EFC.   He seems to be doing pretty well for himself.  It was good seeing him.  I thought I saw him last week too but I didn't say anything.  I'm the kind of person where if I'm not 100% sure I recognize someone, I won't go up to them.   It's not a good thing but I've had many bad experiences.

  Saturday

  Mike and I met up at Grant park for some hoops.  Chris and Charles came by later on.   We ran 2 on 2 for a bit and then Jack showed up.   These guys challenged us to a 5 on 5.   We ended up losing but we should've won.  Oh wells.  Jen, Wayne, Aaron, Eric and Jesse showed up later and we ran 5 with them.  Losing track of time, I jammed over to pick up Esther.  I'm sorry .

  We came back to my place so I could shower and we headed over to meet up with everyone at Soup Plantation.   That the first time I ever ate there, and it's something I can live without.  It's not bad but not that great either.  Let it suffice to say it was an experience.

  After dinner, Jen had to take Jesse home so Esther and I went with Dave and Charles over to his pad.  We hung out for a bit and then headed over to 501 for some karaoke.   Good times.

  Sunday

  Church was great.   After missing two weeks straight, it felt refreshing to go back and listen to an awesome sermon.  During the closing part of service, pastor showed the trailer to The Passion of the Christ.   This will be a a film detailing the final hours and crucifixion of Jesus Christ.   It's release date is February 25th.  I tell you, just watching the trailer got me all emotional.   As we read the bible, we can only imagine what Jesus endured but this movie will surely provide a vivid visual as to what happened.   The church has purchased a good amount of tickets for the AMC in Century City (I think it's Century City) for not only members to go but also non-members.

  Getting back to my day, I met up with Jack, Mike and Hilo at Grant park for another day of balling.  Mike told me what happened last night at Spundae.  Sorry to hear what happened.

  Jimmy showed up later on.  We picked up on one more player so we could run three on three.   Maybe it was just me.  Maybe I pissed someone off.  Maybe I was playing too aggressive.  In any case, I'm extremely sore now.  This is quite peculiar for me because I'm never sore after basketball.  Also, I noticed my shooting percentage is getting lower and lower.  I think I want to focus on becoming a better passer and distributer.   If I get good enough at it, maybe I can compensate for my horrible shooting.

  Valentine's day is  Saturday.   HELP ME WITH IDEAS!!!!
