Jacksonville Here We Come............

Woo-hoo we did it! We made it to the ACC Championship. Now I have to plan a trip to Jacksonville for December 2 which should be fun. Hopefully I can find some cheap tickets. I don't care if I'm up in highest row as long as I'm there. Maybe I can drag Ashley with me. That's going to be a long drive but it's shorter than to Orlando which I did by myself. Speaking of which before we get to December 2, we have to make it through November 25.....That's right the GAME! I have to be surrounded by 90,000 Georgia students.....(reminder to bring mace...) I'll be there though with my yellow wig. We got good seats, so it should be fun. I though it would be a easy game since Georgia looks like they suck this year, but they surprised me and beat #5 Auburn this past Saturday (what happened Daniel???) so it may not be as easy as I though. We will still win though! As for where I have been the past two months, it has been crazy trying to balance all the different aspects of my life together, that I haven't had time to write.....and not much to really talk about. Well Thanksgiving is next week! I would normally be excited but I had a big Thanksgiving like dinner last Tuesday and will have another one on Thursday. The joys of having many brothers and sisters in Christ. You should never wait until a "holiday" to get together with the people you love, have great food, and think about what you're thankful for. It should be something that is done often. But since we are on the subject, what is everyone thankful for? Well that's all for now. Until next time.....

Five Years Later..........(Another entry from livejournal) Sept. 11, 2006

Today marks five years since the terrorist attacks on New York and Washington in 2001. It really feels like a long time ago. I mean I was only a junior in high school! I still can remember where I was when it happened though. I was an office helper for my high school at the time and I was basically doing what I always do during this time.....absolutely nothing.....Then about 20 minutes into the period, our media teacher came into the office to tell us to turn on the TV because an airplane had accidentally run into one of the Twin Towers. Now I though to myself how can anyone accidentally run into a tower that tall?.....Maybe the pilot just doze off or something??.....so as we turned on the TV and watched we saw as a second plane ran into the other tower. That's when I realizes that this wasn't just an accident. I was worried about the people who were in the tower but I didn't really fear for my life yet there in Atlanta.....that was until I heard about the plane that was ran into the Pentagon. Then I realize that maybe the whole country was a target not just New York.....I mean I knew they weren't going to run a plane into little ol DSA, but I figured that they probably had more plans of attack up their sleeves that could effect even our city. After going to my second class which was some science class......( I can't remember whether it was chemistry or physics but I'm pretty sure it was chemistry....) it was announced over the PA system that we were under some kind of nationwide school shutdown so basically school was canceled for the day and we had to stay in the same room until either the buses came at the end of the day or our parents came to pick us up. So since both my parents work in the school system I had to stay there the whole day. As I stared out the window I realized that even the skies in Atlanta had a gloomy look to them. There were people around me scared and some even crying because they knew people in New York and were worried for their safety. Now I didn't know anyone in New York.... (yet)....so I kinda just sat there not really feeling much emotion waiting until it was time to go home. The days that came afterwards brought many news coverage and interviews from everyone imaginable. Football was stopped for a week. A lot of shows did some kinda of tributes, but ironically it didn't make me feel more patriotic or wanting to go fight for this country(which I will never do) but it just made me realize how bad this world had become and how I am glad I have a personal relationship with God in case something like this ever happens again......

Sadly, I don't really remember 9/11 for what happened in 2001 but actually for what happened in 2002. We had a 9/11 tribute at my high school where we would have singing and dance and all that good stuff, but it was me who started off the program by playing the national anthem on my saxophone. I was happy not because I was being patriotic by playing the Star Spangled Banner, but I was glad that I got a chance to play in front of my peers with a solo for the first time. I think it went well, I don't remember messing up or anything....Even more memorable of that day is it was one of the first times that I was asked if a certain person was my girlfriend or not. From that day up until today.....(four years later).....that answer has been yes! 2002 is also the year we began what I like to call the "pointless" war.

Now I have watched Fahrenheit 9/11....wait if you don't what I'm talking about look here:

Fahrenheit 9/11

Anyway, now I'm not saying that it's all true and I'm not really going to give my opinion on who I think is really behind the attacks and who I think knew about it beforehand....(that could be a whole entry in itself but I'm not really the political type...) but I will say this. Don't put anything past the government......I agree with this statement even more now after finding out that they watched Martin Luther King up until his death, how there were CIA agents in the city where he was shot, and also how they moved further and further away from him right before he died.....it really makes you think about stuff differently. Well anyway, that's all for now kiddos. It has now been six entries in a row which I haven't done since I first started this journal April of last year. Well I guess I will write tomorrow just so I can break the record......don't know what it will be about though.....Until next time....

Mr. Wilson: The Anti-Greek (From Livejournal) Sept. 15 2006

Warning

This column is not meant to offend anybody. I have many friends who went Greek whom are great people. Since I have been asked a lot about joining a fraternity, I figured I should finally give my true opinion on why I would never do it......

Welcome everyone once again to the column that no one reads.....The Super Journal.....I decided to take a day off because I honestly didn't have anything to talk about. This morning while lying in bed the idea of this entry popped into my head and I thought it would be a perfect topic for today. So now that I'm a senior the question comes up a lot in my I haven't joined any Greek organizations yet. Now that's a good question. It's the IN thing to do. To be honest with you I have become really disgusted with the whole thing. Why you ask???......well I'll tell you. The whole concept of the Greek organizations have become very twisted. Believe or not, there was a time I actually wanted to join one. It was back when I was at David's favorite school: Savannah State. But after much though I realize that I just wouldn't fit in. So what are my main reasons for being against it:

1.) I think it further separates us at a time when we should all be coming together......
And I'm not just talking about black people, I mean us as in everyone. To me it's like gang-warfare. You here this stuff like: "Oh I can't talk to you because you're part of this fraternity and I am apart of another."; or my favorite....."My sorority is better because we were started first"....."no mine is better because mine was started when someone left yours".....And all the organizations seem to separate themselves from us "normal" people. It just really gets on my nerves. The worst thing is that they get into fights with each over a step competition....you know you've seen it. You go to a step show and someone wins and then at the after-party in the club a fight breaks out because someone is mad because their group didn't win. Nothing screams being a man like getting into a fight over stepping. And these aren't little play fights, I have seen people land in the hospital over this kind of stuff. I don't feel like the original founders of some of organizations meant for this to be the way things are.....Now let me specify: I'm not talking about all Greek organization at every college, but you have to admit that this happens a lot more than it should......

2.) They are horrible liars.......

Now I could be wrong on this but I honestly have come to the conclusion that if any Greek organization(with the exception of the Christian ones...)tell you that they don't haze they are........ Now I have many examples of this but I can't share them because I don't want anyone coming after me. I also know that there is a way to avoid being haze but of course you're as respected much as the ones who are. Now what is wrong with hazing you ask??... Well that brings me to my third and final point......

3.) It's a conflict of interest for anyone who considers themselves a Christian......

Nothing says anti-Christian like first having to suck up to someone and make yourself seem lower than them and unworthy to breathe their air just so they can pick you. Then after they pick you and take all your money(another problem I have with it), they have the nerve to still treat you like crap for weeks. Then once you do make it pass that they want to call you brother or sister......Now that to me is just crazy..... What makes it worst is that some organizations that do that claim to go by Christian values. Clearly this is the exact opposite of the Bible. In the Bible it says to be a good shepherd you don't lord over the flock you become a slave to them. Jesus was the greatest example of this as he became a slave to his people while he was leading them at the same time. So instead of making me do pointless stuff to prove my worth to you, you suppose you to be doing stuff for me. Jesus wants us to build people up not tear them down. Now do you really think any Greek organization would use this method?......I didn't think so.....

So now your next question may am I ok with Christian Greek organizations??........now considering my best friend is apart of one, you would think my answer would be yes but<b> now so fast my friend</b>; here is a point I would like to make: I feel like Christians try too hard to fit in today's world. We try to mimic the world to make Christianity seem cool to world....why you ask?....Because the world spits in the face of people who don't want to be cool! (Thanks Carlito!) But we should separate ourselves from the ways of the world and present something different. Christian organizations are even guilty of separating themselves....I mean like the other Greeks you have black ones and white ones. I am atleast proud of the fact that my best friend who is black joined one that is mostly white. I just don't think Jesus would be happy of the fact that we separate ourselves since we are all suppose to be <b>one body in Christ. I feel like you shouldn't have to go to a Greek organization to seek brother or sisterhood in Christ.....at the church I go to everyone calls each other brother and sister and we treat each other as such. I have yet to find anyone at that church who felt like they should join a Greek organization.

Well I guess that's all for now. I hope I didn't offend anyone with this entry. I just felt like it needed to be said. Please leave feedback whether you agree or disagree. I really want to hear what everyone thinks about this. May the Lord be you all. Until next time.....
