3 on 3 Basketball Tournament

So this weekend, my fellowship hosted a 3 on 3 basketball tournament inviting other Christian fellowships from other Virginia universities. It actually surprised me how many people were there.There were probably over 15 teams at this tournament and so many people there too watch. People from VCU, JMU, GMU, UVA came all the way down too. I ended up making a team with a few of my church friends. To tell you the truth, we were just an average team. I did not expect us to get far at all considering we had a 5 players on the team, and 1 of them never plays basketball, and one just got surgery on his knee so he lost all his speed. So basically we had 3 good players including me, but I have back and knee problems and my other friend had a sinus infection. So basically all of us were not exactly in the best shape to be playing in a three on three tournament.

We surprisingly got to the semi's. If we won we would have gone to the finals! Its funny how I didn't expect to even get past the first round, but yet we got so close.

At tournament though, I saw how important glory is to people of this world. Basically no one, I mean NO ONE, watched the B league Championship game because of the A league championship game. This showed how important glory was because everyone that played in B league was saying how they don't care that they lost anymore because just look, no one cares.

That is kind of bad because I think that we should be playing for ourselves, and for our own love of the game rather than playing to please others. I mean yes we love to play ball, but no offense I think you don't actually love ball if you play just to get attention from the opposite sex or to be known in the korean community as being a "baller." This applies to other things in life as well as well.

Sorry if this makes me sound like a total douchebag, but thats just what I think, and I hope no one takes offense to that.

Well thats all I have to share. Goodbye

Hello. So I officially hate UVA frat guys. They are full of the most worthless people in the whole entire world. I haven’t been this pissed off in such a long time.

So this weekend there was an ultimate Frisbee tournament at UVA which invited many Christian fellowships to play against each other. These fellowships came from UVA, VT, UMD, GMU.

Overall the tournament was fun. It was a great day with the sun shining and slight breeze, and reuniting with some old friends from other schools was really nice too. In the end, our two teams from TECH ended up losing in the playoffs, but we didn’t really care since it was just Frisbee. No one from any team REALLY got angry, compared to basketball and flag football tournaments. So basically this weekend was awesome. But there was one thing bad thing about this weekend. Here’s what happened:

As we were about to start our first playoff game, we all started to stretched and started to get hyped up to play. However, out of nowhere we hear a loud firecracker noise. And guess what, it was obviously fireworks being thrown at us. Soon you see some being thrown onto the field that we were going to play on as well. And not only do they throw firecrackers, but they threw one of those HUGE ones that has an extra long fuse on purpose because its explosion is a lot bigger. It started to blow up, and luckily we got ever y one nearby to back up away from the fireworks and no one was hurt.

I don’t understand why you would do that. Why would you bother a group of people just playing Frisbee on the field? We didn’t piss them off in any way; we were just minding our own business. I was seriously about to flip and bash some windows, but I didn’t.

I guess I don’t hate all UVA frat guys, but most. All of them that I saw looked at me like I’m not an equal, but as if he is SO much better off than me. Well whatever screw UVGAY and like Chad Ochocinco would say, They deserve a big ol’ Child please.

Love within religion

People have the misconception that such a thing called 'love' exists in this world. So if love is so universal and all-powerful, explain murder and war. Explain why parents get a divorce for the sake of their own happiness above their kid's. Explain why people are constantly victims of an abusive relationship, falling back on someone who hurts them so much yet claims to not be able to live without them. Explain why teenagers allow themselves to get into a relationship based around frivolous human emotion rather than something pure and solid.

Love doesn't exists. There is no such thing.

Human minds and the emotions that project from each individual varies so much, how can one word encompass all the differences that come from each heart. One's definition of love is utterly different from another's, and the level of commitment that one is willing to follow through with love is completely different as well.

Love doesn't exist. There is no such thing.

But there is hope. Because although there is no such thing as love, there is such a thing as GOD'S love. Because God is the definition of love, and because he resides in this world and in each and every one of us, we are given the ability to project forth that love from within to others around us.

So what's my point?

There is no such thing as love outside of God's love. You can't just simply love someone, you have to love them by being a vessel of God's love, so that HE can LOVE that person THROUGH you.

God is love. There's no escape from it.

Dupplehoff. Very Dangerous. Kill on sight. Slitkins. Very dangerous. Kill on sight. Night fury. Unknown. If you ever encounter one run. Well my friend. I have to say that I have seen a night fury and have lived to tell the tale. Everyone has misunderstood the very nature of dragons. People always think that dragons are vicious creatures and should be killed on sight. But I have seen what they are really like and they are just like us. Killing only to survive. Dragons aren’t these animals that kill just for fun. I have seen and befriended one and the only reason they kill is because they have to. They live like bees in a volcano. And in the center of their home is their queen. If they don’t provide enough food they themselves will be eaten. These creatures are majestic and loyal. They will stand by your side through anything.

I know some of you think I’m probably crazy for not killing this night fury on sight. But when I looked at it, I saw myself. It was scared just as I was. There was no way that I could have slaughtered that dragon on sight. Once it had gained my trust, it was my friend for life. I knew that it would stand by me no matter what happened. And once it let me onto its back I knew we were bonded. The feeling of cutting through the air at speeds unknown to anyone else is amazing. It’s as if we were connected. We moved as one and our flight through the skies were effortless.

Man. If only I could really have a night fury. I really enjoyed this movie. How to Train Your Dragon was a surprisingly good. I thought it was just another kids movie but it was freaking fantastic. There was action and drama and comedy. There were lines in the movie that actually made me laugh out loud. There were also fight sequences that were engaging and held my attention. Then there was the drama of the main character that was an outcast. This film was well rounded and I think will be a kid’s classic. If you haven’t seen this film yet I really encourage you to go see it. I definitely think that it is a must see for people of all ages.
