Woohoo! LA goes down and Detroit wins a well-earned NBA championship with amazing D, team ball, and pure hustle. Sweet ending!

Presentations class....hrm, coulda gone better... but everyone was really nervous and rattled 'cause now the presentations actually count for marks. It's gonna be tough to get high marks for presentations and reports in this class... eek.

Did some work over the weekend with Andrew, I worked on reports while he studied for his MCATS. We were able to head over the court a couple times to ball a bit. My game's making progress and somewhat getting to where I want it to be... jumpshot is still waaaay lacking, especially in games, but I'm working on it... My D has picked up, pretty close to where I used to be, probably 'cause I'm feeling a little more in shape and quicker than when summer began. My first step is still a step slower than where I want it to be and I could still work on ballhandling, but it's getting better. Passing is still where it used to be, but gotta watch those TOs. Fun stuff though.

Got a meeting with my local church's worship team this Thursday... my neighbour invited me to just go and check it out and meet some people who live in the Bridlewood area who also enjoy worship music and recording. I'm excited but also a little nervous 'cause I would know absolutely nobody and I don't know if my style of music fits with theirs... they do contemporary worship but more of the old-school brand. Guess we'll see how that turns out.

On a sad note, I had to turn down Lyle Johnson's request for me to play for him at Arlington Woods Church again.... grrrr... stupid Presentations class. :P I hope he calls back again sometime with another gig 'cause I really enjoy leading worship with him but he just seems to always ask me when I'm busy! Ah well.

Here's an idea that I've discussed with my neighbour about doing over the summer... an outdoor neighbourhood praise/outreach event where we can set up outside, have a worship team playing, food, activities for the kids, and just rock the neighbourhood. It'd be a good way of bringing the christians in the community together and hopefully, outreach to the non-christians. My original idea had a person's driveway in mind as the 'stage area', but my neighbour said we might be able to use her church's parking lot. Definite possibilities... hrm...
