I ran the point and every single time down the court i would feed it into the big guy. Over and over again he would post up i would feed him the ball. After a while they would double team him so he would kick the ball out to me and i would shoot a three. Every once in a while pat would do a backdoor cut and i would hit him for an alley-oop. We won 35 to 12 going by ones. But the downpart is i hurt my back! now i have a back spasm.Then when i came back to pats house i broke with my girlfriend i still dont know why.

Jan.14,2005 The most important thing that happened to me yesterday probaly was my basketball game. We killed the other team by about 20.I didnt get to play very much because we played a cruddy team and we started our 2nd and third string guys. I played good when i was in though i didnt get any points because i didnt want to shoot the ball so i got about 12 assists. I also got like 6 rebounds. When i came home victoria told me on aol that she was going to have surguory the day before my birthday.

Jan.13,2005 The most important thing that happened to me yesterday probaly was me talking to my gf for three hours. She broke up with me because about 10 different people told her that i made out with some chick that is ugly. I tried to tell her otherwise but she said drop it. Yesterday we were talking on aol and she asked the gurl who i supposidly wanted to make out with if that was true and she said no. Then supposedly she told me that she was crying all night for messing up and stuff.She asked me back out last night, but i couldnt give her a straight answer so i told i would give her my answer at the end of my basketball game tonight.

Jan.12,2005 The most important thing that happened to me yesterday probaly was going to the douglass green game at harper.Mr Woolf,Pat colin, Jared Wade and I all rode with Mr. woolf to the douglass green game against holmes. It was at harper because holmes doesnt have a gym. Our green team lost as usual.Douglass gold is 2-0 and douglass green is 0-3.Kalin carlos got suspended so that means i will get alot of playing time against holmes tommorow. Holmes isnt really that good so we should win.

Jan.11,2005 The most important thing that happened to me yesterday probaly was basketball practice. I ran really hard at basketball yesterday. We always run about 8 minutes everyday around the court to get warmed up.Then after that we do "box-out drill". A person stands at the three point line and shoots it and you have to box out another player trying to get the ball. Then we went over our plays.Lastly we had a schrimmage for about a half an hour. When i came home we had a new front door on our house.Its pretty cool but the bad thing is you can hear a peep when the door opens.So when a robber tries to get in you cant hear it.

Jan.10,2005 The most important thing that happened to me this weekend probably was going to Reno. Me and Stuart had to go to a hockey tournament. We stayed at circus circus in Reno. I have stayed there about 5 times now and it never gets old. Me and Stuart went to the arcade all day Friday until there was hockey. We tried to go snowboarding but there were 100 mph winds and visibility was very low. Stuarts dad bet me 10 dollars I couldn’t get two girls phone numbers. So I went down to the arcade and I met two gorgeous ladies and got there phone numbers. I gave them to Joe (Stuart’s dad) and he said bets off. I said what and he said well I just wanted you to get out of the room so I could sleep.

Jan.6,2005 The most important thing that happened to me yesterday probaly was basketball practice. We just went over plays and our offense for the upcoming game. We play woodland cristian. They only have a few guys who can play hard so we will just have josh martinez guard one of the guys to shut them down. I dont get to start because i started last game and me and kalin carlos switch off every game starting.

Jan.5,2005 Yesterday was a very bad day. It started out fine I got up and had my breakfast and went to school. I felt fine during first period, but then when second period rolled around my chest started hurting so bad I had to step outside and get my self under control when I just started throwing up out of nowhere. I then told my science teacher, Ms. Mc Cawley, what I had been doing so she wrote me a pass and I went up to the nurse’s office. I called my mom and she came an picked me up, then I went home and watched two movies, Animal house and Airheads. I got a real kick out of that. I was just starting to a little fun until I started throwing up again. I feel a lot better now.

Dec.16,2004 Yesterday was a fun day. After school I had basketball practice that I did ok in I knew the offense pretty well so I did good when we went over the plays. Then after practice was over Tom took me to starbucks and I got the thing that I get every day which is a vanilla bean frappachino. Then I came home and took a shower and did my homework and talked to Victoria the usual. But this wasn’t usual my parents weren’t coming home till 10 and my girlfriend lives about 5 blocks away so she came over and we hung out for about 2 hours until my mom called and said they were on there way home so I walked Victoria home and said my goodbyes and left. Last, right when I got home I hit the wall and fell to sleep.

Dec.15,2004 The most important that happened to me yesterday was that I had my first basketball practice for 8th grade. We mainly just worked on our offense and did some defensive drills. The offense that we run requires me to be running a lot so I have to stay in shape. Then when I got home I pushed one of my little brothers friends on the ground ( he was in seventh grade so it wasn’t like I was pushing a 4th grader down ). So, I got in trouble for that so I was banished to my room for 3 hours.

Dec.14,2004 The most important thing that happened to me yesterday was the last day of tryouts. I had no doubt in my mind that I wouldn’t make the team. I didn’t give it my all because I was afraid to pull something (like I did on Saturday). Mr. Woolf told me not to give it my all,so I said ok. After tryouts were over I went over to Sam Beird’s house to work on a science project for about two and a half hours. Then I came home and took a bath for about a half and hour. Then I had to study for history and finish up my last part of math then I turned on the radio and called it a night.

Dec.13,2004 The most important thing that happened to me this weekend was that I tried out for basketball. On Friday we had tryouts for about two hours. We did a lot of fundamentals and basic drills like lay up and jump shots. I did really well on Friday; both of the coaches complimented me. On Saturday was the second tryout, Mr. Woolf was running the show this time and he expected me to run! I was on his team lest year so he knew what to expect from me. He told me the real test will show how much stamina I had. So the first thing he does is make everyone run for about ten minutes straight, and we had to sprint. I came in third place.

Dec.10,2004 The most important thing that happened to me yesterday was that I went to my parents friends chiropractor because terry ( the owner ) had to readjust my back because I always grow a lot and sometimes my back gets out of place. After I went to the chiropractor I went to foot locker at our mall to get basketball shoes. I had to pay with my own money so I got 50.00$ shoes. Then when I got home I headed to victories basketball game. She didn’t get very many points but she is a good basketball player. Then, after Victoria’s game my brother was playing on the boy’s basketball team so I had to watch him. Lastly, I had to do an amendment project that is due today.

Dec.9,2004 The most important thing that happened to me yesterday was that I went to Carl’s junior with tom and then I went jogging around my block for about thirty-minutes straight. Then I jogged all the way to Douglass from my house. Then, when I got home my had to spoil it by taking me to cold stone creamery and getting me ice cream. Then, after I got home Victoria text me, so we talked for about a half and hour. I stayed up late last night for some reason also, so I took a shower for about a half-hour at 11:30 at night.

Dec.8,2004 The most important thing that happened to me yesterday was that I went to the Douglass basketball game at Harper. I helped out with Mr. Woolf’s team. I showed them how to get in a zone defense and how to run motion. We won by about 32, the final score was 64-32. The bus ride home was boring until the bus driver started telling jokes. After we got back from the game me and tom grissom went to Carls Jr. where we encountered an older lady who was probably in her 60’s came up to me and tom and said we were going to be hung at noon tomorrow for stealing some kind of purse in 1920. The manager of Carls Jr. came up to us and said we are sorry and that lady has used drugs all her life and she gave us a free cookie for all the trouble.

Dec.7,2004 The most important thing that happened to me yesterday probably was that I went jogging all across town. I jogged to McDonalds and then came back to my house. When I got home my dad had just set up the tree and my parents were putting ortiments on the tree. My job every year is putting the Christmas lights on the tree and on the house. So tonight I am going to put up our lights on our house. These things are important to me because I have to get in shape for basketball and I have to do my part to help put up the lights.

Dec.6,2004 The most important thing that happened to me this weekend was my soccer tournament. We played three very challenging teams. On Saturday we played 2 games. The first game we won against our arch rivals the “Chivas” (which means goat in Spanish) 3-1. Then we played the hardest team at the tournament and we tied them 4 to 4. Then we played the worst team there on Sunday and we lost to them 1 to 0. We lost to them for two reasons, the first, I only played 3 minutes the entire game. Then the second, the referee was friends with the other coach of the team.

Dec.1,2004 A few important things that happened to me this thanksgiving break was that I got in trouble on thanksgiving, so I got sent to my room and I had to stay there until everyone left. My parents and my relatives always go to see a movie on thanksgiving, so they saw National Treasure. After they left I went out of my room and fixed my self my own little thanksgiving feast. I had two humongous turkey legs a bunch of mashed potatoes and 5 rolls. It was awesome. I watched the James Bond marathon on spike TV the whole night.

Nov.24,2004 The most important thing that happened to me yesterday was making the most humongous pancake in my life. Me and Stuart made this pancake batter ( I have no idea why ), so we decided to put it to good use. We poured the batter inside of a huge pan. Then we had a hard time flipping it, so it fell on the ground then we ate it off of a cooking pan.

Nov.23,2004 The most important thing I did yesterday (and you cant tell anyone please ) was that I went streaking through a park at 7:30 at night. I also had a bunch of homework that I did after school Stuart said it was a bit nippy outside but I didn’t mind. I also went to Carl’s junior again; it is my favorite fast food place. These things were important to me because I like doing things with Stuart and Tom.

Nov.22,2004 The most important thing that happened to me over the weekend was going to the King’s game. I sat on the floor right next to the Maloofs. I used to go to a lot of King’s games, but I have been busy lately so I cant go to as many as I have in the past. On Sunday I was supposed to go to Arden Christian church with my church and have like some kind of hoedown. But I didn’t feel like going and talking to a bunch of people and miss the kings game, I mean come on. Saturday was hecka boring in the morning I had a soccer game, that we lost, then I had a soccer party at ricos.

Nov. 19, 2004 The most important thing that happened to me yesterday was that I and my girlfriend sorted things out. I told a person (who will remain nameless) told Victoria I was going to break up with her, which is a huge lie I would never break up with Victoria in about another month. But that’s getting off topic. I pre ordered all of my games for my lap top baby yah!

Nov. 18, 2004 The most important thing that happened to me yesterday was that I now know that I got a C on my math test. I did have an F and now that I took the test I can try out for basketball, and go to the dance on December 3rd. Stuart came over after school as he occasionally does, and we played co op on legendary on halo2. I also told my mom that I wanted neon Budweiser and bud light signs to decorate my room with. I had about and hour of homework too. These things were important to me because I love playing halo 2 with my friends and getting things for Christmas.

Nov. 17, 2004 The most important thing that happened to me yesterday was that I knew for a fact that I am getting a laptop for Christmas. This is very important to me because my family goes to Disneyland over winter break so now I can talk to my friends on AOL if I am bored. I also know that I am getting City of heroes and Call Of Duty, Finest hour. These are the most important things that happened to me yesterday.
