"reggie water". so there's this chinese girl that tagged along with us and she's this really typical chinese.. with that really strong chinese accent. So, you know how we're in america and there's this guy.. he goes by the name Jamar.. and he's from the south.. from ATL.. (atlanta)... and the chinese girl was making some stir fry vegetables, came jamar and he asked her wat was in the mix.. so she explained.. "there's some "reggie" and onion..." and jamar was like "who's reggie?!" boy.. the look of confusion on his face was classic! the chinese girl tried so hard to correct herself she kept saying "reggie" and i was laughing my head off listenin to the both of then..
and then one day i was making ribbon salads with vegetables and jamar came over took a piece of ribbon carrot and placed it gently on his water filled wine glass.. and there he stood happily and proud.. claimin' "reggie water!"
boy.. classic! reggie water....

love....
Love... its 10 at night here and the train just passed by and another train will probably pass by again soon.. i love it when i have to stop for it at the intersection, when it blows its horns.. all i could think of was the word "majestic" made me say glorious and a smile on my face. This is my new perk moment thingy..
it used to be riding aimlessly and the sunsets.. or playing soccer all by myself on the that green german grass.. well, now i have a tenis court. its not the same but i love it..
i love watching "jon and kate plus eight". how they go about their lives with a set of twins and a set of sextuplets.. see them running around and just being kids..i hate to see them grow up. wish they'd just stay that way. i love watchin them.
after putting out a whole buffet all by myself in brock's restaurant for lunch nothing beats a cold chocolate milk. nothing! i love chocolate milk..
to be honest.. life here is tough.. especially paying the bills and OOOooooOOWEEEE! the tax.. man!! they got me paying federal tax, alabama tax and income tax.. and the aipt fees! that one, i dun love.. i guess this is reality.. only the strong survives... just like the 300 spartans.. never give up, never surrender!
Till then God is Good and God is love...

3rd week
i finally managed to kick some soccer ball over here in the states. with the english premier league season just starting the passion of football/soccer is growing and im gonna miss most of the matches.. manchester united! they will win some sort of silverware this season. but anywawys.. i met some football guys.. ie guys who play football. there's this spanish dude... and we're gonna go over to the university of alabama to kick some balls.. looking forward to that. Wouldn't it be cool if i made it to the MLS? but seriously.. MLS is dead boring!! its no wonder they dun watch soccer here.. anyways.. football is good. always good. oh and also smoked baby back ribs.. the meat falls off the bone when u pick it up.. its total madness. will take some pics when i get a camera.

shrimps and grits!
shrimps and grits! now thats what im talkin about... my first real southern experience besides all the "purty" girls from the south.. shrimp and grits we're awesome! basically its like polenta.. for those who got no idea what ima saying.. jamie oliver cooks it all the time.. but instead of the smooth stuff.. it has a croarser grind.. and u cook it like a polenta.. and u put shrimp in there and the gravy and man! it will blow ur mind out! tho... i miss nasi lemak.... but im a eat healthy.... salads with no dressing and loads of water.. ill try! oh and i got a GMC truck... for 500 bucks! Praise God.. anyways.. errthing is errthing.. (everything is everything) i met this dude and he looks just like dave chapelle.. he's from atlanta west georgia.. and ive been cooking with him.. and sometimes its hard to understand him cos his slang is so loose.. so i kinda picked it up and hence errthing in between.. and in between? its the journey im on.. ima make the best of it.. cos its the journey that matters and sometimes not the destination.. take every opportunity.. live as if its ur last.. history makers, change the world. God is God.
