i hate gregory
so lately i've been getting some complaints. constant nagging about how i don't ball at night anymore, how i'm no longer "a baller" because true ballers would want to play every day, etc etc etc.

you know, never mind the fact that i have a basketball PE class every monday and wednesday at 8 in the morning. you know, never mind the fact that i have to wake up early every morning. you know, never mind the fact that i am busy with homework.

i guess all the whining finally got to me.

it all started with this:

LeXlAnTiS (10:42:09 PM): ball?

i got past that one, but then this one popped up:

JogesroomiE (10:46:17 PM): gregory?

i know i know, who can resist the cute lovable face of jason "panda" wang, or at least, the pleasant sight of his aim box, but somehow i managed to.

and then i got bored. and when i get bored, i get hungry. and when i get hungry, i get something to eat. logical, ain't it?

so anyways i go down to jester pizza and buy me a steamin', pipin' hot grilled chicken pizza. mMmmMmMMMm. as i'm walking back to my room, i run into weili and lawrence. they are going to gregory.

HM, i thought to myself, is this a sign from God? WEILI going to GREGORY? i finally succumbed to the temptation.

after chowing down my pizza on the sidelines, i proceed to swap shoes with alex because i can't really run in my air force ones. you know, those kicks be juss fo chillin', ya know what i'm sayin'?

anyways, i'm playing, yada yada yada, and i go up for a block against berto, graze a piece of the ball, and then land on his foot. YAY.

sprained the same ankle as last year, but this time it's not as serious. and there it is. my punishment for going to gregory.

bah humbug =(

Dear God,

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry for my lack of faith, for all the times that I've doubted your presence in my life. I know it must hurt you deeply each time you see me worry about my future and various aspects of my life, but Father, sometimes I just can't help it. Be with me, Lord, and let me know that You are and always have been in full control of my life.

I'm sorry for my disgusting heart, for everytime that I've been selfish, or jealous, or nonchalant about the happenings and lives of everyone around me. Give me a greater heart of compassion, Lord. Allow me to love those who need it most. Help me to stay connected with people's lives.

I'm sorry for my pride, for each and every time I've tried to hog the spotlight, when it should have been on you the entire time. I've discovered that oftentimes the things I find most dispicable in other people are the areas that I myself struggle with. Help me to not fall into the temptation of looking down on other people, for I know that all have sinned and fallen short of Your awesome glory.

I'm sorry for trying to push You out of my life, for I've been relying on my own strengths and efforts, and needless to say, I truly can't do this on my own. Give me wisdom and patience to wait for Your guidance. May I learn to depend on You, Lord, for every area of my life.

I'm sorry for all my shortcomings, for every time I have made you weep. Thank you for not leaving my side, and I pray that You continue to mold me into a man desperately seeking after Your heart.

I'm sorry.
