What a long trip that I had. It has been a good experience and a bad experience. The good experiences is that I saw some awesome places like Key West, Cozumel, South Beach, and Orlando. However, some things bad happende. Somebody stole a $400 digital camera that I procured at a camera store in Miami Beach. It had all of my pictures of the cruise and Florida.

The people that I cruised with were okay but nothing to write home about. They had some pretty girls on the boat but I did not find any girls that looked like a future prospect.

Peace out, everybody and see you when I get home.

Tonight was pure torture. I had to an endure a 14 inning baseball game tonight between the Yankees vs Red Soxes. I want the Red Soxes to beat the Yankees in the worst way. It was one of longest games that I ever watched in my life. The game went over 5 hours. It was a quite nailbiter but it was worth it. The Red Soxes won it in the bottom of the 14th inning off a single by David Ortiz. If the Red Sox win this series, it is similar to the Lakers 4 game epic winning streak where they won four games in a row from the Spurs to win the Western Conference Semifinals. Even though Lakers played poor in the Finals and lsot, that series will always go down as a legendary series in my books. This one could be the next legendary series.

This week marks the beginning of the pro basketball season. It usually marks the era when the Lakers are on a quest to win their NBA championship. However, this year, those dreams have faded. The Lakers have become a shell of themselves due to one selfish player, Kobe Bryant. Kobe Byrant is a great player but lacks the true grit of a team leader. Kobe has the championship drive and determination. His championship drive to come back will be one of things that will land him into the Basketball Hall of Fame in Springfield. However, his rampant selfishness prevents him from becoming a real legend like Wilt, Oscar Robertson, Magic Johnson, and Michael Jordan. These players have a true grit of a team leader. They know how to inspire a team and not to cause lockerroom strife. On the other hand, Kobe Bryant has caused strife in the Lakers Lockeroom. His selfishness caused the breakup of the Lakers and led Phil and Shaq to leave. Shaq should be properly blamed for a large portion of the problem that caused the Lakers dynasty to end but Kobe is the main problem.

Another trip to Las Vegas. How many times have been to this city? I am always excited to go there. The thrill of the betting on craps and watch the sbooter win on the pass line for several rolls. The thrill of hitting a jackpot on the slots. Seeing all of neon lights, eating a cheezy buffets, watching me trying to chew some thick and juicy steak at the Rio are all magical memories.

IT doesn't have the magical appeal that it had the first time. Las Vegas is indeed a magical place and I am thrilled together. Some of my best memories with Johnny T. and Fossum have been there. Memories that are magical. Memories that will a last lifetime. Ones that we will tell stories to our grandchildren.

Every time I watch Napelon Dynamite, the more that I am convinced it is the one of most funniest movies in 2004. Everything from the way that he breaths, to his mannerisms, to his interactions with Uncle Rico and Kip make me laugh hysterically. I am glad that I watched it twice. Next week, I plan to see two additional films but I am not certain on which ones yet.

Since I bought my digital camera, I have really gotten into digital photography. There are so many things that I want to pictures of.

Anyways, I want to have a mellow weekend this weekend. October is going to be very, very busy month filled with parties, campouts, Magic Mountain, Las Vegas, and a whole host of other events..

My plan this weekend

Friday- Watch a movie with my friend Dave
Saturday- Drive out to the beach, take some photography, watch some football

Pretty Mellow weekend compared to October

Here is a sample of October:

Friday Night-Birthday Party
Saturday Night-Bon fire
Sunday - Magic Mountain

For number of years, the two churches that I attended (Pacific Hills Church and CCRSM) has placed strong emphasis on mission works in Romania. I found on the CBN website today an article that shows the tremendous fruit that is coming out of Romania. All of the hard work and labor performed by Joey Hahne, Tim Hahne, Krista Hahne, Rick Rotanda, Kevin Otsuji, and countless others have paid off there.

Anyways, here is the article
