Farewell Father

I just got back from church. If you don't know, I am catholic and an alter server. My pastor is leaving; well to be more exact, he is being transferred to another church. They say every 4 years, we have to receive a new pastor. (I thought it was 6 years). I feel though that it hasn't been 4 years (or maybe it has). I am sad, but we have to move on. He is a great pastor. One thing about him that stands out from many pastors that he speaks the truth. Let me elaborate on what I mean.

Many people today speak bull just about everything. They may some thing, but it may always not mean that thing. For example, pretend your cousin was a liar, but he/she never admitted it, but you knew he/she was. He was something like that. Not only that, he is very funny and random. I can think of all the times when every time we had a conversation, he was always trying to joke around. I liked him, but many other people at church did not. I am not exactly sure why.

I think the main reason was that he did not let them do the activities that they normally did like the Crab feast, Fish Fry and many other activities. He would say that we shouldn't be doing that because its not why we go to church. That is all I can remember of what someone from church told me. I have a feeling that it is more to that than just the activities, but I have no idea because the adults never give me any info on that.

I wish him well and hope he has a great time at the next church he stays with. My mother told me after church that he was like a family member to her and that she will miss him as well. I feel the same. I hope our new pastor is not boring. If he is, I don't know if I will enjoy church as much as I do now. Our pastor preached about stuff relating to real life. Many pastors do that, but he takes a different approach on things, which I love. :)

I am done talking now boring you with my story. :) But before I go, I will end it with a funny conversation I had with him in church today.

me: I wish you good luck

-shakes hand and a hug from him- I don't think I ever got a hug from him, which is surprising. :O

Father: These flowers are for you.

-both starts laughing and he looks back to look at someone for 2 seconds-

Father: Well, do you want to go on a date?

me: Naw, I am good.

-we both laugh-

Father: Its free!

me: Naw, I am good.

-As always, I walk away a little bit. He shakes my hand and I pat him on his back and we laugh-

Father: Have a great day.

me: You do the same.

We had another conversation in this room after church since they had a little reception for him and I told him about my summer plans. I think he was trying to find a way to keep me safe since I am not home for the most part lol. He is so funny. I will surely miss him.

CAMP CAMP CAMP CAMP

I just came back from orientation for overnight camp. It was good, but repetitive and tiring. Let me beak it down for you, we went to the place on Wednesday to board our stuff. We had to be there by 7:45 but the problem was that the bus wasn't there yet. We had to wait. Then when it did come, we did not leave until 10 because some people had to be cleared of their drug test. Some people did not pass theirs and others just did not take it. So we left. A very long ass drive to the camp. When we got there, it was very beautiful. It is by a ocean or some bay. It is located in the COUNTRY! The country y'all. We went through a long process of being talked to food and the same thing the next day. I felt it was a waste of time and repetitive. I hate that so much. We had to do CPR today. It was long and boring, but the good thing was that we got certified! It lasts for a good 2 years. It was nice to know and learn about it. I can't wait til next week. We will work with kids! It will be fun! I was put with this girl as the other counselor. We will be working with 9-11 year olds. Also, we got our shirts, but only 1 since when they ordered them, the order was messed up. Other than that, its all good. Peace out.

Wait, one more thing. I forgot to talk about the most important part. The people. The girl I was with was her second year working there and we have the same birthday! Woot. So far, we are a little different, but overall the same traits. She is very nice and more outgoing than I am, but its ok. Not in a rush to bloom. I will someday. The other people there are okay overall. I don't think I will meet someone there that I will have a connection with. We will see as time goes by since more new people are coming. Some people are just not my type, others talk too much, make fun of each other and some are immature or just ghetto. Either way, they are ok people. Some are just awesome, but not to the point where I may have a connection with that person. I have a hard time finding someone that can really please me. I am not picky but just very selective of who I hang with.

FUN FUN FUN FUN

So far, summer break is SUPER boring. I wasn't expecting anything more. I can't even go out man! I would love to go to Artlab+. That is the only place that I really want to go in order to edit my music video but NOOO. For some reason, I can't. No explanations. They say "For your saftey." Bullshit. You know why? I am going out during the day where there's the sun and everyone can see me. Its not like I am going out to a fiesta or some crack house to smoke some weed and shit. I remember on the last day of school when I came home, I asked my father if I can go ride my bike. He said no. Why? He was like "because I said no." My parents never give valid explanations on why their answers are no. Are you trying to protect me or lock me in a jail cell?

The good thing is that tomorrow and for the next few weeks, I will be working at a overnight camp! I am so excited because I will meet awesome people and have a lot of fun with the cute kids! I don't have to come home from work everyday dealing with bullshit because I will be staying there. Sadly, I will come home on the weekends -_______-. 

One thing that I really want to learn or read about this summer is how to build my own laptop. I am tired of sharing. I like to share, but my sisters are 2 motherfuckers that have a tendency of either hogging or hold their places on the computer while not using it. I am tired of that bull and need my own for a change. I want to be able to play games that need great computer specs like GTA IV. Sadly, I had to uninstall that game because it ran to slow for our desktop downstairs. 

That is all for today folks. I am your host _ _ _ _  _ _ _! Have a great day!

HILAR

Today was just FUN and HILARIOUS. Today began the June Week activities at school (its so dumb cuz june week is only 3 days.) So today, we had a 2 hour assembly with some random ppl about influencing us to become teacheres. VERY BORING. Then, candidates went up on stage to state their speech. It was alot of ppl.  The most hilarious one was Derrick because he did not have a speech prepared. So...

 LOL. I am just seeing this now. I guess I never actually posted this since I was probably tired. Such a long time ago. June week last school year was fun! This year, it was some bull, but I missed half of a day so I really can't say, but overall. BULL.

..STA..STA..STA MOOGIE

School is finally over! I am currently working more on my next video called Sta Moogie. I hope it turns out a lot better than my other videos. I wrote a storyboard on it and now I am at the production process where I am retrieving all the clips. It is a lot of work and gets a little frustrating because at some points, I can't get the actual scene I drew on my storyboard thanks to the so limited things I can do with Sims 3. I am not going to let that ruin it. There may have been a few changes that I have done to the story itself since I can't capture everything, but nothing big has changed. :). Here is a few pictures below of me recording some scenes.

This is the band. 

Here is the cute couple.

The gold digger ;)
That is all I have so far for now. More to come soon!
