I showered real quick set the DVR and left out for dinner, then we went to my grandma for dessert. I watched most of the game over y grandma's. I saw the was winning the whole game and were taking it a little serious they throwing all ind alley oop, and shooting three pointers from all over the place. Then i saw lebron trying to bring them back because he hit back to back three's and they almost did but the west held off. I always root for the west because the mavericks are in the west so route for the west. All types of records were broken in this game.

NBA all star sat night was really good. It started off with haier shooting stars where you have to make multiple shots from different areas and your competing for the fastest time. Team new york won that one. Then you had the taco bell skills challenge with all the point guards going threw a coarse competing for the best time tony Parker won that. Then you had the three point contest where all the shooters and guards go up against each other from behind the three point line. Kevin Durant almost won but he got beat by Kevin love in the last round. Then the most anticipated even of the night is the dunk contest, it wasn't that good but it was interesting to watch. Even though Germany Evans had one good dunk were dunked to balls threw the rim, the guy Paul George had the effects and dunks to take it home but he aint get enough votes to win. The other competition had some nice dunks to but the fans didn't vote.

This is my new favorite game because there so many things you can do in it. You can fly, drive, run all types of vehicles to use while in the game also a lot of different weapons and upgrades for those weapons. I played this all the way to the start of NBA all star weekend. Then i was in front of the TV for the rest of the night. In the celebrity game it funny because had a lot of bloopers and mistakes and they weren't serious and just having fun, Especially Kevin heart, also J.Cole, common, penny hard away, Chris mullin, secretary of education. Then after i finish watching that it was time for all the rookies and sophomore to shine and that game was good because this year mixed up both rookies and sophomores, so you would have a little of both on both team. This game had so many good plays in it, it was ridiculous, I mean every play was a dunk or three pointer. These young guys can ball they were throwing alley-oops from half court. Blake griffon threw a pass to him self and had a nasty one hand throw down. Also john wall had this nasty trick dunk. Rickey rubio was throwing some of the nastiest assist i have ever seen. Kyrie Irving went 8 of 8 from behind three point. Then the next night had even greater moments.

This is my calf muscle strengthen that me strengthen my calf muscle, to help get better bounce, vertical and hops. It really did help because i been wearing it since being of summer and my bounce has improved. I can dunk better and even jump higher when getting rebounds and blocking shots. Also it helped get my ankle muscle back in shape after i sprained it mid summer. It goes around your waist and stretches down to your ankles and you can do a lot of drills with it on. The max time your supposed to wear it is 4 hours.

This is my little dog Bentley, he is a Jack Russell terrier mix with pug. He is so bad he always getting into the trash, running around the house acting crazy. We have to get big dog toys, the indestructible toys because he tear up all the little toys that we buy for him. He is small thing but he think he is big. He always wants to be right up under you Bentley will not get any bigger than this. He always has a lot of energy and wants to play like me, also has that male dog instinct were he wants to bite and wrestle with you and think he doing something but he really is not. My mom calls him her second child which would make him my little brother.

On top of all of that i had physics assignment due online by midnight that night which i completed on time. Also today i watched the mavericks Vs.

Today i only went to one class because i was helping Mr. carney all day. We had to move over a dozen of new computers, hardrives, and monitors. I worked from the beginning of second period all the way until the last bell. Then after i moved them i had to help set them up and keep taking this big ben of trash down to the janitor so he could empty and then i had to take back up so it could be refilled. It was all for helping a teacher so i was good. By the end of the day i was tired and could not wait to sit down because my legs were about to give out on me. Then to make a good day end coach pops in the library with his new haircut. He did this as a promise for the jv boys if they won county champs he would shave his head. They did and he kept his deal of the bargain.

Today i came home and did My doodle 4 Google and i was staying ahead of the curb because it was due Friday. I put first thing first and got all my homework accomplished to have some time to play 360 before i went to bed. Perfect 50 words and just barely made it work. I wrote about going to the future and how t hings might be different than they are now, like there might be flying cars and great technological advances. Also how there might be new cures for things. Even might great research methods to come.

I had an excellent valentines day. I got two big packs of Twizzlers, a box of cookies, a bible, boxers, some axe body wash, two nice card, one with a heart felt letter in it. Also i gave a gift teddy bear basket. I usually don't even care about this holiday unless i go with somebody, like somebody or talking to somebody because i don't like to spend money, so only time celebrate this holiday is for my mom or if somebody buy me something, I'll do the same. Also if I'm in a relationship with somebody then this holiday is important. See this is how i look at this holiday, Why treat special one day out of a year when you can do that everyday if really care about a person. You mise will make every every day of the week and weekend valentines day because people go out on dates and treat each other nice all the time.That why i see this holiday as unimportant. This holiday is just reason to treat a person extra nice and wear the color red or pink and tell somebody there special.

Tonight i went to see safe house with my uncle and his girlfriend, it was the first night it opened up so it was packed. It was an good movie but it was really confusing. Even at the end i still didn't understand what was going on and i was a little tired so i was trying not to fall asleep in the movies. I had a bag of Twizzlers but that didn't even last past the credits. Then my mom text me and says get some popcorn for her so i ate some of that even though i don't like it. It was a good but i wish understood i might go back and see it again or just wait until it comes out on dvd. I do recommend to go see it though. In the middle of the movies this lady got sick and everybody in front row started turning around and nobody ain't know what was going on, everybody up top was looking at each other ain't know what happened. I thought it was a rat or something. It was a good movie lots of action and moments that will have you jumping.

These are my new shoes that i just go sat. Let me tell you the trouble i went threw to get these shoes. First after the game on Friday night i go home look at the timer and see how long have to these shoes release. I had like three hours, so i start to play 360 until they release online at 12. I'm so focused on these that i keep moving the mouse after time the screen blanks out. these are the red foamposites part of the foamposite line that has many colors all made by Nike and penny hardaway. I play Xbox until 11:45 hits so i can get them online so i don't have to wak up early in the morning and go get. OK it five minutes from 12 and I'm on the sight and ready to click add to the cart as soon as te timer is out on website for the shoe. 12 hits and website becomes over capacitated with in seconds, i have east bay and footlocker open at the same time both them freeze up and are over capacity for these shoes. I had the shoes in my cart trying to check out but the website is so jammed it wouldn't even let me check out. So i become frustrated and mad because i was on the site before 12 and it wouldn't let me checkout. By the time the site actually became free in 2 in the morning, so now i have to get up early and got get them which i did not want to do. So looked up the bus route so i could get to the mall on time and get the shoes. I set my alarm clock and everything, i only got 4 hours of sleep. So my mom hears me getting dressed and ask what wrong i tell about my story and she says ill drop you at the mall on the way to work. She said told me to bring some school work with me so i could get some done because after i got em i could take the bus back down to her job and ride home with her after she got off work. I'm in the mall at 8 I'm waiting in line until 930 where the store is,to find out they don't have a 13. so i run across hall to the other store that had him the last pair of 13, i was so happy but i felt bad for dude behind me he wore a 13 to but he got them in a 12 instead. I realized the whole day i aint have anything to eat since the previous night at the game and was starving and almost died from starvation It was my first pair foamposites.

Today i went to the pikes ville new town game. It was an OK game i could've stayed home and saved my money because it was really boring. Nothing special happened. The JV game was way better than varsity game because jv blew the other team out. JV was up by 20 at half time 40-20 and kept increasing until the end. I really went to support Bonita because it was senior night and she thought she was going to have to walk and she wanted somebody to escort her. Nope so i watched a boring game and had lots of laughs with my friends, they made the game not as boring. the final Jv score 86-44 i was like man they are way better than our varsity this year. In varsity game it was so boring they was missing all kinds of shots and everything, also they almost lost but they pulled threw in the end. It was so boring like no dunks really happened nor did anything amazing. The final score was 69-56. It was good to chill with my friends and support a special somebody

Tonight was college knowledge night for the juniors, it was really nice because it gave juniors a chance to see how the college process goes and what schools they could possibly get into or actually might have interest in. I wish i would had it in my junior year so i can have better grip on the college process coming into my senior year. Also there many gifts given away and there was a little scavenger hunt for the juniors to do. I had a nice time maning my booth and hanging out with friends. Also i gave some knowledge on Syracuse. I had this warmup since last year so it was just perfect for me to choose Syracuse to represent. Also my mom uncle and aunts all went there. I wish could follow in there footsteps but it to expensive and it to big. Also i don't have SAT scores nor do i have the GPA.

This was dinner for tonight. My om didn't feel like cooking, so this is what we get. I didn't have a problem with this because it was the grilled it taste way better than the fried. Also then macaroni is so good. Also i thought they gave my mom the wrong order because it was on 6 piece of chicken 4 sides and 2 biscuits. I'm looking is this supposed to feed all of us. Then these sides are so little i could eat the whole side dish by myself. So I'm taking small proportions because I'm thinking everybody got to get some me my mom and uncle. So i get a little of everything and i eat my food and go ask my mom did you eat and she said she wasn't even hungry. It was just for me and my uncle. By that time all the mac is gone. Me and my uncle could've have went half on every side instead of me getting small proportions thinking of everybody else. Next time I'm just going to take and not think about anybody else. KGC is way better than KFC.

Last night i had to make dinner because my om told me to make it. It was already late and i didn't feel like cooking. I went downstairs to the pantry to see what i could whip up real quick and i saw chili i figure that pretty easy and quick. So i just threw in a pot turned the oven and let it cook for the time it was supposed to. I always try to balance my meals with vegetable and a starch. So rice is the starch for the and salad is the vegetable. In my head I'm master chef because i can make food when I'm hungry not order something just because. It was good even it was already made just had to heat it up and the rice was simple just add water. Problem solved quick fast and a hurry.
