Welcome

So I did it! I finally did it. I made my first official blog. And if you are reading this, then you are a person that is important to me. This blog is a way for me to keep you posted on what is going on in my world, and to also share the musings of an young man with an old soul.

Game Night: In a hundred and forty characters (or more)

SO... I finally finished decorating my apartment. Check out Mel's facebook. I think she has some pictures posted from her trip. My apartment is a little over 750 square feet, so I have a little space to host guest. I invited my classmates Tomika, Carl, Teanna and Seth to come play games.

We decided on dominoes, unfortunately Teanna did not bring big six dominoes she brought the big ten dominoes and no one knew how to play. So we just matched ends. It was not really all that fun. It deprived me the opportunity to talk noise, and try to impress my new friends with my domino skills. After a couple games of dominoes we switch to Phase 10. It was a good night. Carl, Seth, Tomika and Teanna are all interesting people. As we played games it gave us an opportunity to get to know each other.

Carl is my best friend here in Bloomington. We clicked right off the bat and spend time together daily. It is good to have a good guy friend again. In Waco my best guy friends from college moved away, and I struggled creating deep relationships with other men. Carl and I have that potential.

Seth is SOOO young. He just graduated college in 2010. He went to Oberlin and was an RA their. He is the baby of the group, but he really is very mature for his age. I can't wait to get to know him more.

Teanna has white skin but really embraces black culture. She made the transition from being Catholic to C.O.G.I.C (if you know Donnie Mcclurkin he has roots in the holiness church), she was an African American Studies major, and dates a Kappa. 

Tomika is an IU allstar - she just had an article on the black athletes development as a student. Google her. Also she did her masters at IU, so she knows everything about this campus.  I am excited to get to know these folks better. I think they will be an essential part of my community here. And for that I must say God is great!
