Sir, that's a one dollar bill.

I had people over my garage yesterday for a night of beerpong and loitering.  Plenty of beer was destroyed in the intense games of 3v3 beerpong and Waldo single handedly devoured half of his Captain Morgan.

"Can you break this 20 for me?"
"Sir, that's a one dollar bill.."
"......god damn it."

One full school year.

So this past Thursday was the end of my first year at Think Together.  Both the kids and program leaders shed their share of tears with plenty of hugs being exchanged.  The children were spoiled that day with a variety of junk foods.  They had an overload of improper diet consisting of pizza, ice cream sundaes, popsicles, cookies, chips, and cupcakes.  I promised to bring my guitar that day and I followed through with a list of songs prepared.  As they requested, I printed them out the lyrics to the songs so they can sing along with me.
The playlist included:

Justin Bieber - Baby
Bruno Mars - Lazy Song
Bruno Mars - Just The Way You Are
Katy Perry - Firework

They sang loud and they sang willingly, something that I didn't expect to go so smoothly.  We exchanged our goodbyes and best wishes for the summer.  I will surely miss them.  This company has treated me very well and I hope things will work out for me to keep doing what I do.

Don't do drugs.

I was working in New York somewhere, located in a tall building overlooking the streets. A Terrorist threat was on the news and the building was locked out.

There were a series of events here that gets worse and worse, but sadly I can't remember what they were exactly.

Soon after, the whole city was under the highest security level and I looked down the window to see what has happend.  It was a complete silence outside, with no people and no cops.  Then, out of all corners and buildings, a plethora of rats came running out and they filled the streets.

We soon later learned that the Japanese were behind this.  Christine and I were already booked to fly to Japan since we were going to teach abroad.  So we took this opportunity and entered Japan, attempting to solve the terrorist's plan, hahaha..  Went to a Japanese carnival.  Won a stuffed bear and lots of tickets.  Went in to elevator to go to the second level.  3 Japanese teenagers were inside the elevator.  They were messing with Christine and I intervened.  They spoke to me in Japanese, and I pretended I was a mute to hide the fact that I wasn't Japanese.  They didn't buy it, and attacked me.  And don't ask me how, but I managed to beat them all in a fistfight. The elevator door opens and we ran out.

Later, we saw a suspicious looking booth so we proceed to investigate the owner.  But they knew we werent Japanese so they told us to leave immediately. Soon after, some homeless looking fellow grabbed the stuffed animal that Christine was holding and sprinted away.  I chased after him and Christine said to forget about it.  I was going to stop chasing until three helpful by-standers stopped the man and took the stuffed toy back.  As they were handing it back, they noticed something inside of it.  Before I even said thanks, I was aware something was wrong.  With terrified expressions, they told me that there's a bomb inside.  Timed for a short period till explosion, I took Christine and we immediately left the building and found my family outside (WTF).  I told them to come with us and we ran as far as we could.  Before the bomb went off, I woke up.

Soccer is boring.

I do not like soccer because it is boring for me and it is fun for other people exept for me and it is very hard and you get all sweaty on your face, you get all tired and weak.  And you have to take a sower at home and that is boring for me and other people I think it is but it is very boring and I am not lieing to you Mr. David if you are reading this I am not lieing to you or if somebody is reading this you're reading my thing I wrote myselve at CATCH.  The End!

Outdoor activities

WOW. I've never been so exhausted in my life.  You would think a 3 day camping trip would do the trick, or perhaps a very long gym session of basketball and work out, but no!  Nothing can be compared to the drained out results of deep sea fishing.

Andrew, Will, and I have been doing some new and exciting outdoor activities.  We've gone to a shotgun shooting range and sailed out Newport for a ten hour day of fishing.  Both are very expensive hobbies, but thanks to Andrew and Will's dad, we have all the equipments which spares us from renting them.   I was quickly addicted to both, but more so to the fishing.  The feeling of reeling in something other than your hook and bait is satisfying and rewarding.  Although you may be tired from the battle, but the adrenalin keeps you going for more.  We each caught about 10 fishes or so, give or take the ones that we had to release back into the sea.

We were to blame for being so out of shape after the trip because of our lack of sleep.  Andrew and I pulled an all-nighter leading in to the trip.  We both couldn't sleep so I decided to head over to his house around 3am.  We played some games and had breakfast at Dennys.  The fishing trip ended with me running of 32 hours deprived from sleep, but we came home happy.
