Today was mix match day, and i didn't participate. Except my shoes i put a Nike and Adidas on i was really violating. I ain't care because i knew i wasn't the  only mix matched that day. Also i was in the tutoring banging out the rest of that checklist so i wouldn't loose any points for my house or lower my GPA for getting a low grade.  Also everybody keeps saying we make a good couple. In the tutor center it mot as much pressure on you as in the classroom. I focus more  so it easy to complete my  work. In the end my checklist is complete and only have to things left to do. One is retake the SAT and raise my scores, then finish the recruiting process. when hit at least 1500 or something close i will be good and i will feel accomplished. After this recruiting process is over then i will feel accomplished. I wont get to excited yet because then whole new journey will be starting. Because I will be a freshman in college and then it will be like starting high school over but with a whole new venue, people, places, independent. i will becoming an adult. It was good to in touch with yours friends because you never know if your going to meet new people or not also it good do new things because it give you a new take on  different places, lifestyles, a whole new vibe.

All i worked on today was this checklist, I have most things completed but I'm looking to finishing by this coming Wednesday. I hope it wont be late because my teacher still haven't e-nailed me my college recommendations. Also i just some things signed off on. This checklist was probably the biggest stressor  i have had in a long time because i aint think i was going to finish it on time and also it was a lot to accomplish in a one month time span. I got head on straight tackled this so i could be ahead of the game and be on top, when college process is all over, it will be a big relief and just sign that all that hard over my high school career paid off. I already feel relieved because it weight off my shoulder about completed this list in the  time it was supposed to be done. I didn't want to be the one that didn't have it completed or the misfit that played around and wasn't done on time.

OMG! snow October, this weather is crazy. If snows in October that means it probably going to be the worst winter on record. Also if it snowing but not even below freezing and the percipitation is still still visible but not sticking to the roads, just wait until the temperatures start dropping into 30  and teens, it going to be a mess. In my years on this earth i have never seen it snow in October, not even close to it. At the most December 1, that it. How does the weather be 37 one day, 45 the next and mid 50 the whole next week. The weather patten is all messed up, i hope y'all ready for winter because it going to be a bad one!

So it's the Friday before Halloween and i had planned yesterday to go with the male mentoring group and national honor society to the haunted house out jessup Maryland called Bennett's Curse. Alright so let me tell you about how we got there and ow scary it was. So if you didn't have down there you were supposed to meet at the school to ride with Mr.Hopkins. So it 7 of us up there waiting for Mr.Hopkins and we all hoping he coming with a big truck, nope a little car and like OMG! how are we going to do this. So the biggest has to get in the front, thank goodness it was me comfortable and space in the front. Sorry for the others had to lap up in the back. This car is only supposed to hold 5 we had seven. So we all pile in this car and me, Mr. Hopkins looking out for cops the whole way down there because if the cops wold have spotted us, we sorely would be pulled over. I mean we are Mexican deep in this car! So make it to Arundel mills mall without any trouble, I'm surprised because it Friday afternoon rush hour and cops are usually lurking but they where off patrolling somewhere else thank goodness. So  we get to golden coral, everybody eat, and the rest of the people to get there and some people got dropped off and there parents left, so now there even more people than that came in the car the first time. Some of the parents did stay to help us get to the haunted house from the restaurant. So we got a little behind schedule because Mr.Hopkins wanted to be there as soon as it opened at 7 but that didn't happen,we ain't get until almost 8:15. After we eat we go to the place, now it the next exit up but the actual haunted house is back in woods on this one lane road, so everybody started getting scared because it's all off the beat and path. while we were rolling up one lane road this car wasn't trying to let us threw so we had to stop short and went off the road a little bit but we didn't get stuck. Then we going to the ticket booth i'm thinking wher is the line then i hear the announcement saying there 30-45mins wait, i'm thinking where is the line. Once you get inside the tent it like an amusement park line but it a fog machine on and freezing cold. So we in this line for min but we were all talking and having fun so the line moved quickly. Once i was up there i was scared, even though i had been back at the old location at Arundel mills mall but this was there new location in the woods and i ain't know what to expect. I got put in the back not the place you want to be at. I wanted to be in the middle and not the front either because that how they get you. So i got used to it after a while until we got to this one part were i got corned by these witches and i thought i was done, sike! i knew i was going to make out. Then it was this were it got so dark you couldn't see your fingers in front of you, i got so scared it wasn't even funny and lost everybody i was with. i was trying to hold on to the person shoulder in front of me but that didn't work. For a second i thought i was done until they started calling my name. Whoo! Then i was good and it was a couple more scary parts then a maze but that wasn't scary, i found my way with no problem. My partner that i was supposed to be in the middle with left me in the back by myself. Terrible. Then we all had to pile back in the cars to get back to arundel mills as a place of pick up. So Mr. Hopkins makes sure everybody has a ride and dips with some people and car was full again, but from sliding off the road earlier  didn't know he damaged his tire and ends up breaking down on the side road. I'm kinda of glad i didn't go with him but the people i was riding with stopped to help them.
All though it was great haunted house and night, had lots of fun!

First male mentoring group meeting i went to.  Mr. Hopkins was explaining how we were going  down to this haunted house Bennett's curse down in Jessup and this was next day that we were going. So he was explaining about dues for national honors society. Also how your suppose to get Bennett curse and what time we were going to leave new town. Also how were supposed to eat at golden coral before  we go to the haunted house. Also if he could some people to help drive down there. I'll tell you about that in my next blog. I'm glad to be apart of male mentoring group, so i could add another extra-curricular or club/activity to my resume for college. It seems like it's going to be fun and my mans prosper going to be in there with me so i wont be bored. He also was telling us about how scary it was and how people that haven't been before are going to be super scared. This meeting was so fast i thought it was going to be long but we were in and out like that.

Dressed 4 success, i would wear this to a interview for look a clothing store or something a little higher than a fast food place. Like the movies or something, or an interview for internship. I would just change the jeans to some slacks and some dress shoes. A cardigan can make you look a whole lot more professional. So i would throw a cardigan going to church or a casual dinner party. If i was going to some corporate office job, i would throw a suit, tie and everything on to be as professional as i can. Also the Bo-tie has come back and slim tie can change your whole outfit. Accessory is good sometimes but to much is not necessary.   I would've came in some slacks and a dress tie and dress shirt but it New Town and i wasn't about to be the misfit so i just got a little preppy for the day. If the school would have participated more i would've have got more involved. When comes to dressing up, i can go all out, but this situation wasn't that serious.

I was having a good day until my mom ruined by saying i couldn't start driving school today for no reason at all. So i was mad more because she said two weeks ago it all good, go ahead and sign up and find out what you have to do and everything. So i call find how you get registered for the class and eveything, thinking i'm going to start and what not. Also i even found a bus route that close to the driving school, so if my mom can't take me one day i can hop on the bus and get there because some nights my mom works late. If she can't take me i'll have my own way there. So the before the class is supposed to start  i remind her about it everything and she doesn't give a answer so i'm thinking maybe she forgot and im going to give it some time, maybe she will give me a straight answer. So that I'm getting ready for school, i leave her a note  telling my mom again about the thing, so she would see it on her way out the door. So leave and when i get out of school, I'm all happy having a great day and what not. I'm on the school bus home and my mom calls and says i saw your note and my answer is no so my whole attitude, mood everything just changed. I was heated and sad because I'm tired of having to ask for rides to go places and Relying on a ride. So i just want to get my license. So i ain't want to talk to nobody or do anything because i was so mad, my mom didn't even tell why i couldn't, just straight up no. Two weeks ago it was ok though. My mom we will talk about it when we get home, she gets home we don't talk about it I still dont know why i couldn't start. So now i have to wait until after basketball tryouts to start driving school. Then people that have gotten there license say it 2 month wait because the MVA is crowded or backed up. So i don't what I'm waiting for if my permit runs out November of 2012 but im going to  have my provisional by then, maybe it was good to wait but i don't know what for.

I saw myself in the reflection of my front window of my house and thought it looked kind of vintage. Then my favorite express sweater made the picture more extravagant. This was my first piece of express clothing. Now i have express polo's, graphic tee's, sweaters, hoodies, jeans, boxers, socks, cardigan. I have a lot of express because one of friends introduced me to it and i just never stopped buying it after that. I told my mom like two years ago i wanted to change my whole closet to to express everything because it was different, this was around the time Ralph Lauren, everybody started to wear that. So i was thinking i am going to try to wear this more than polo. My mom didn't support and i just went with what i had. Now kind of glad i didn't buy a whole bunch of polo because it came and went polo was in, now it lacoste, so the times can change instantly. I still wear express because it different. Getting serious about college express shopping has been put on hold because of college but i still buy hear and there. at one point i wanted to get a job at express because i shopped there so much i figured why not work here but i found out you have to be 18, doesn't mean i can't wait but i probably be focused on bigger better things. This was an idea like for the summer or part time. Evey time i went to express i was buying something or just stopping in to take a look.

I walked in the heart walk with my mom job. This was an excellent thing to be apart of because for a cause and got to see downtown Baltimore i never seen before. If my mom didn't have to do it for her job i would've woken up early on sat to walk. It was good little exercise and I'm  always down to help a cause.  It was huge turnout though, threw people who have walked in it for years and companies that sponsored it and organizations. Every organization had breakfast and giving away free things, bags, pens etc. Then it wasn't even that cold this day because it warmed up and it was a nice sunny day. It was a little chilly that morning but once it was time to walk and everything it was nice warm actually kind of hot. We walked all around the inner harbor from one end of the harbor that i do not know the name. all the way to pier 5, to turn around to come back the way we came making up a total of three miles. It got real cloudy and cold later that after noon. So I'm glad it wasn't like that in the morning. I saw some places i have never seen before like this nice condo complex in my third picture, all over there on the pier 5 side of the harbor. A lot growth and development going on that side of the harbor, saw some nice looking  architecture and old building that haven't fallen apart yet. Also i haven't been downtown in a while so i saw there opening a Phillip's seafood where the ESPN zone use to be.

This is the car I'm trying to win because it just a lavish, excellent speed mobile. I'm mean who want a Porsche in there driveway. First i would change the color to blue or black if i won.  The likely chances are like 1 in a million. If i did win though i wouldn't even be able to drive it without a an adult  because i don't have my license yet but I'm about so ill be driving sooner or later.  Just because i don't have my license doesn't mean i don't have my permit wouldn't sneak take it out for spin on the streets and on the highway doing a 100+mph. Just to see what it is like to go 190mph.

It that  time again the leaves are changing color and that means when they fall somebody got to clean them up also it means Halloween and Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving   is the best because there are enormous amounts of food and you can't be called fat for eating to much. Then there Halloween where mirad amounts of candy in stores, houses and other places you knock on people door and say trick or treat. these holidays are not that special to me because i like the winter and snow, birthday, and Christmas. Also i don't like fall because the leaves tend to fall on my lawn and barely anybody Else's around me,  then i have to clean my big yard up. Then there the time change that makes it get dark earlier  and stay dark longer in the morning. SO when i wake up and get dressed and go down the steps and almost trip to eat i can't see because the sun hasn't come up yet. Then in the afternoon, staying out until  7-8 because it not dark yet, but now coming in at 5:30 because it going to be pitch black at 6. It life though i can't control time, i wish i could but i'm just going to have to deal with it. If i could control time i would back to the past, present and the future. Also i would change things to make everyday life better.

This Wednesday i was working on my notes cards for college checklist that due at the end of October with everything complete. Also this checklist is a huge part if grade because it 1300 points which is will devastating to the second quarter grading period. So i have a couple more things to complete but some i don't know if i will be able to complete. Then i have top five schools and I'm starting to reconsider Maryland as an option for college because the cost of in state tuition. I still like out-state but i need to raise my sat score so i can accomplish my goals. The information for these cards will help you because  you won't have to keep looking up information for your college process, you can be ahead of the curve by being organized, one of the key steps to being successful in college. After i finish this checklist, and taking the SAT it going to be all about getting recruited. I got some school's looking at me now but not the ones i want to attend because I'm there not offering enough money for basketball. The ones I'm really looking at our bowie state and Delaware state university because they both have the major i want to study in and there good NCAA division 1 and Division 2 schools. Also the I'm looking some of the top Division 3 schools to because they excellent university and great athletic programs, just as good as the top division 1 and 2 schools.

These cookies are so delicious! It doesn't get any better than this, ready to bake sugar cookies and year can get them year around.  This is probably the easiest thing you could mess up in the kitchen. I'm mean the cookies come prepared in the box and all you have to is put them in the oven on 375 degrees and let them cook for 10-12 mins, and there done. They are so moist, and warm , they just ,melt in your mouth. There like krispy kreme when the hot doughnut sign is on and they just be calling you to eat. then Pillsbury makes then year around and sells then around every holiday. I like them so much because there enjoyable and light your face up, because there so epicurean. As you can see they don't last long in my house because this what was left after about week after i made them.i can't talk because i was the one eating most of them!Then on the back of  the box they have all types of dessert you can make with these cookies and instructions on what you need and all. Actually i bought these cookies in for the AVID food rag for Thanksgiving. When i eat these cookies it always takes me back to when i first started eating these cookies because me and my mom were looking for a snack for after dinner that night and we were walking towards the ice cream when we saw Pillsbury ready to bake sugar cookies. My mom lets try them and because they were and already made and all we had to do is cook them. So we ate dinner cooked them and boy did we not know we were going to enjoy these delightful treats so much. Now we buy them on special occasions and holidays and even on the regular just enjoy nice cookie.

This all time, anytime snack has been around forever. I mean this was probably the first thing i learned how to make on a stove.i like it because it simple and easy to make, also it doesn't take that long to make. The chicken and beef flavor are my favorites because they are delicious. Also when your hungry you just turn  on the stove and just add water. if you burn up oodles and noodles then something wrong with you, that like forgetting to put peanut butter on a Pb&j. I make these for any meal, especially  during afternoon school snack, because they fill you up on one bowl. Also i don't have to spend a lot of deciding what to eat, just cut the stove on and cook. Then they are healthy so i don't have to worry about the health facts if I'm a health conscious person. in  the morning when I'm trying to catch my bus they warm me up because there so hot, one time they were to hot and i almost burnt my tongue. I know these  things have been around forever because my mom said that was her and her roommate's easy to make snack in college. My mom tells me they had packs of oodles and noodles in the room. I like to add spices and seasoning to my noodles because it makes them taste a lot better.

I was going to this girls cotillion practice because her boyfriend couldn't make it. I think was a good experience to go and participate  in this event for the day because one i learned something and it just seems like great thing to be apart of. So first I'm at New town on a Sunday and they talking and explaining how the next six Sunday's until the performance are going to b intense waltz training , so as soon as one of the head ladies said that my face immediately changed. Then when she said it starts today oh my face went to to extremely surprised. So in my mind I'm thinking i can't waltz and i was starting to get nervous because if i mess up and nobody else mess up i was going to be inberest but no i wasn't the only one that couldn't do it. So once the lady explained the steps and how to do it on step of 3 it came to me so easy and now i was thinking i just learned how to waltz. Then it started to get complicated it started with the movement of the waltz but then it was the box step, then move forward 4 steps with steps we first first learned, then it was this box step again, then this step called hesitate of  2 count. So I'm just mastering the steps off the 3 count, now your telling me another step off second count.  After a few times o rehearsal i got it and i was getting it like a pro but i would occasionally forget a step and throw my count off for  a couple of seconds. Also after you got it a few times you were called to the front with a group and the lady put on a song to show something i don't know but me and my partner did good so we worry about it. Then let me tell you how nervous i was about messing up on the spot but i got it together and only missed one step. So all in all it was a good experience  to learn something new until, I'm feeling accomplished until she say next sun we will learn the turn o the one 1 count, in my mind I'm thinking oh no. So i told the girl i hope boyfriend learns quick because we learned a lot in 2hrs, then your adding more steps in next Sunday. Also i happy to learn what i did because it good to know other styles accept pop all the time because you never know when a certain might come in handy.

My neighbors wanted to get tree removed, so at 9 o clock on a Saturday  morning a tree guy is knocking and banging on my door for my uncle to move his truck, so debree doesn't get on it. Then I'm trying to wake my uncle because he sleep late on Saturday. So i would've moved it myself but the big chopping machine was the way so i didn't  and me being new driver not wanting crash  into something. It not like i haven't had my permit last since last November and plus i drive everywhere, so i probably could've have it without any mistakes but i didn't because my uncle has not given permission to drive his truck yet and it wasn't my moms car. Then after this like an hour later i look out there and there gone, truck gone and everything. So I'm thinking there is no way they removed that so quickly, i look around the corner and gigantic tree is still there. I ask my neighbor what happened, he says it got to windy and there coming back another day, Oh. So not only was awaken for no reason and i had wake my uncle for no reason at all but i had things to so i should've gotten up. Next time your going to get a tree cut down watch the news first because it clearly said winds gradually pick up threw out the day and will be 30mph winds by afternoon time. Tree cutting people just watch weather before you come to do a job.

Finally the rain has cleared and the sun had some out for a min but it went back behind the cloud when i took the photo. it was raining like that whole morning and was all depressed looking outside. Then in the afternoon sun came but it was only mid 60's and was still cold when the wind blew. I like it when the sun is out because it just makes want to go outside have fun or just be outside not stuck in the house bored on a rainy day. I think you get more accomplished when the sun is out because it just brightens up people day and makes people smile. When it raining cold, dreary or depressed looking outside it makes people tired or lazy and not really in the mood to talk to anybody. Also you can tell the time is changing because the sun goes away earlier. When you wake up it still dark outside.

Thomas Brown AVID 365 day 43 10-13-11

You talk about along day at work. My uncle was knocked on the coach like somebody threw a right punch, then a left. That what happens when your a construction and you wake at 5 o'clock in the morning and come home four in the afternoon. You come  home and fall asleep, shoot i do it all the time after i come home from school. I call it my refreshing nap from school because is tiring, one your there from 7:50 in the morning until 2:20, that six hours of school. I'm mean school tires you out then you got homework which is a stressor because you might have a lot of homework to complete when you get home because then you might want to go outside if it's a nice and forget about your and then not remember until late, then your staying up until AM trying to complete your homework, then there that point where you don't care just write anything or you think of  something that sounds  right so you write something out of the back of the book. Some people might start there homework but will get distracted and won't finish. Then the athletes have it the worst because sometimes practice might not be over until late then you got to wait t get picked up, get something eat , take a shower. By that time you just go to sleep but you can't because you have a boat load of homework, which then forces you stay up until the we hours of the morning. then by the time you lay your head down your alarm going off just to start cycle over again. So afternoon naps are needed to rejuvenate you to have energy to complete your homework. Afternoon naps are not bad whether your coming home from work or from school they always help. Now if sleep for about six from the time you get home from school or work then you were sleep and probably didn't get the proper rest you need the night before.

On my day off i completed some things i have to for my AVID  class checklist for college. Some of those things being write3 common app essays for college. Also on my day off a list of top 5 school's of my choice. I also looked up the information needed for these school of my choice. After i get this checklist out the way i'm going to focus on getting recruited to play basketball in college. I'm probably going o go D III but if there any offered from any division II schools i might take the offer. Also I don't want to stay in MD because i want to experience a new environment. I probably will go to somewhere outside of Baltimore because it  good to step out of your environment sometimes. Also my mom tells me you mature faster because your more independent.  All I'm going to be focused on from October on is college, until i have committed to university or college and they reply back saying we accept you, this is all im going to be doing. I probably will stay in state because the cost of school now a days is ridiculous. That why I'm going to find scholarships so i can pay  for my college education.

This is my companion Bentley. He is a jack Russel terrier mixed with a pug. They call the breed a jug. He look like he a nice and sweet dog but he not, he always getting into the trash or doing something he not supposed to but you got to love him just look at his face. Also i named him Bentley because that my favorite car, If i can't  have a Bentley then why not name the dog Bentley and hope he comes with as many luxuries as the car. He is just a bundle of joy, he always energized and ready to play. This makes us perfect for each other because i have lots of energy and he does to, we just run around and play in the backyard all after noon. Any time your watching a movie he will always come sit on your feet  and look like he watching with you. Bentley wont get any bigger than this. I'm sill i the process of training Bentley  so he can be a great dog. We got Bentley 2 years ago around April and we adopted him from the shelter, so we could save a life.

I was supposed to start driving school today but my mom didn't like the location and how the people running the place looked like they didn't care. See i was thinking ahead though not about how the location looks  because i know  i might not always have a ride to the place, but a bus route goes right past it. So some days if my mom had to work late or my uncle was nowhere to be found then i could just hope on the bus and get right there. My mom wasn't thinking like that because she wants something for her money. I could've been gotten my provisional in the beginning of the summer but i sprained my ankle playing basketball and couldn't even walk on two feet until the middle of the summer. Now I'm just trying hurry up and get it because i wouldn't have to rely on a bus to go places or be dependent on my mom for a ride. Also i was trying to get it during the summer because now conflicting with school and other activities, so it going to be hard trying multiple things at once but I'm going to balance out everything so there nothing conflicting with each another. So now i have to wait until October 24 to sign up for another driving school that suites my mom needs. This one is not off a bu route, so i don't know how I'm going to get there and it not in walking or biking distance.

OMG1 My new phone is so awesome. I got the HTC inspire 4g it does. I don't need a iPhone or anything  because this phone can do everything. Also this phone is durable so if i just so happen to drop it wont be cracked. There all type of cool features on here that make like easier, like flash light and htc sense. like htc sense which sync's people information off Facebook, twitter and other places. Also speak it turn by turn directions. Also i haven't found  a single con with this phone yet, every time i turn it on i find something new to do or play with. I'm to get rid my old piece of junk because my old phone touch screen froze three times and i had to get three replacement phones. Also during  the middle of the text conversation you would have to the phone off and on just to send the text. The internet didn't always work. My old phone was probably the worst phone made for man kind. I'm truly proud to say i have big better phone, that can do just as much as the iPhone.

So i finish eating and i go get settle in front of the TV to play this game. Then i get on I'm all happy because I'm thinking I'm going online and about to mess somebody up real quick. So the game is going good and I'm going off and the person i was playing would have a couple of good plays. So i had the mavericks and he had the Lakers. So he think all nice with Kobe  and everything and starts trying to show he nice, that when i was down by 6 and i came back and was up 4.This was at the end of the third it was all tied up and i start taking the score up him and he can't stop me I'm up by 10. This is where i get angry so it like four minutes left in the fourth and his connection started messing  up and I'm like come man, it like he put a cheat code in  or something , not only was the connection messing up but i couldn't stop him from scoring anymore, i couldn't score anymore. So now I'm heated I'm yelling at the TV like come on! Then i look at the time on the clock and it's 1:53 left in the fourth and he's now up by two. So I'm like time knock down some three's , Nobody can hit, i mean my best shooter air balling. So i start saying no  and clock tick's down the final score was 62-50. Now I'm to mad because not only did i come in happy thinking i was going to win, i lost and it was my first one. So i just hope off line and went to play my player mode. Then i get there i have to play in a rookie challenge where my person missing lay-ups and everything. So all these things happen in the game and my player gets  drafted to the Knicks, where in my first game i only get 12 min, so not only am i still mad from the first my lost and  then i get limited time on the floor, see I'm not like everybody else that boost there stats all the way up to make there player all that, i let m player earn them. So after that i just  cut my 360 off and went to bed.

This is probably  the most artistic thing i have seen on a calculator, but you would have to be bored to create this after a test. This college algebra test was so easy but i didn't create this the person next to me did. It was funny because i didn't know how she did it and i was just so amazed at how every zero was in place and not out of line. Also this had test a lot more writing on it than math test should have i mean every problem had to written out on paper with step that goes . I always try to stay focused during a test because once you lose focus you lose your whole train of thought.

This is my uncle nice pick up V8 titan, it's going to be mine in a few years (pause) as soon as i get my provisional I'm asking for it! This is one of my uncle  many nice cars, he always getting something done to one his cars or always washing them keeping them clean. I want to be just like that always doing something to my ride, keeping it nice and clean. This includes washing it, shining it and customizing it. He always says he going to work out deal for me to have them or just put them in his will for me because he said he knows i would take good care of them. Also i think your car is apart of your personality, it describes you, a car is going to have some aspect that describes you in it. I'm passionate about cars and trucks, I've always love them since i was young. I think that why me and my uncle get along so well because he liked cars and trucks when he was young and i like them as I'm growing up. I mean he takes me to car shows and trucks shows. Also i love luxury cars like Bentley's and fast cars like Ferrari and Lamborghini's.  I want a fast car as my first car but that not going to happen because my mom no way. I hope one day to have a Bentley  sitting in my garage!

Oh yes 2k12 came out on Dona birthday, the truth is if you suck at 2k don't buy this game because this game is for the best. This not only continues the franchise of the 2k series but now it's taken it to the next level with graphic's, the move in the are outrageously crazy! I didn't get mine yet and grab dona her's for her birthday, i played the demo and it is awesome. If you have a plasma or LCD TV get this game because the graphic's are amazing, i mean it like your sitting court side watching the game!When i get this game see me on the 360, Dallas Mavericks all day. I thought the release of this game was going to be effected by the lockout and it was going to be pushed back but no it released right on time. I have been a Dallas fan all my life and never liked anybody else. Happy Birthday Dona hope you had a great one! Game design seems like fun and exciting career because you play and make games all day, that would be a plan C for me, if my first and second didn't work. The name of this game is just an attention grabber for me because it sounds like 2012 which is the year i graduate and move on to college where probably occasionally play a video game because ill be doing other things such as studying, partying, hooping, etc.
