  • ADIDAS Tennis Camp, 2008

    Just got back from a looong week at UMBC for ADIDAS Tennis Camp.  This year, we had around 52 campers which was A LOT.  Luckily we also had more camp counselors around to help out.  I almost didn’t do this camp again but I’m glad I did.  Besides all the free adidas gear, the money, the free housing and free meals throughout the week, the best part of the week was just knowing that you are helping out a kid.  Sounds kinda cheesy, but it’s true.  I had to deal with some annoyances, but whatever.  Certain people really can piss me (and some others) off with the little things that they do …but yea, I’ll digress for now.

    Some shots from this week:

    Today is my day of rest before I head to Las Vegas with the family for the week, so I’ll see ya later!

  • The Debut

    How did I just NOW discovered this movie?  I rented the movie and watch it last night and absolutely fell in love w/ the whole movie.  (psshh kevin/marvin/tricia, invite me to a debutante )

    If you’re looking for a job, I recommend joining monster.com .  I signed up the other night and the very next day I got two calls from companies that wanted to interview me!  Good stuff!

    Lately, I’ve been reading more books.  Initially I was doing so out of boredom, but I think a part of me is reading books to see if they will inspire me to do something about various issues in my life right now (jobs, girls, etc).  I’ve read The Five People You Meet in Heaven (very touching book) and I’m not reading I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell (probably the complete opposite of the previous book I just mentioned).  Any recommendations?

    I’m getting readying to teach at the ADIDAS tennis camp at UMBC, which starts this Sunday.  This will be my third (and probably) last year doing it and I’m very excited that there are so many more camp counselors this year doing it with me.  We got 52 campers this year (that’s A LOT) so it’s gonna be interesting…

    Next time I’ll update will probably be next weekend, right before I head up to Las Vegas for a week w/ the family!

  • Been having a relatively lazy past week.  What have I’ve been doing?  Mostly just spending time w/ my bro, watching A LOT of movies, and doing a lot of reading.  I bought a couple of books the other day when I went to Montgomery Mall w/ Susanna that I’m gonna read this coming week.  Besides that, my only other plan is to look up some government jobs that I could work for.  I can’t really work just yet, as after next week I got ADIDAS tennis camp, then Las Vegas trip, then maybe a trip to FL, and the Legg Mason tournament to check out.  I may go up to Philly sometimes too (road trip anyone?).  Ah summer…

    p.s.  I love Taco Bell’s strawberry frutista drinks!

  • New Jersey/New York Trip

    I went up in NJ/NY this past weekend, which was the first time I’ve been up to NY since i was in middle school.  I had a lot of fun and there were a lot of silly little memories.  I’m too lazy to write up everything, so I’ll let some of the pictures and video clips do the talking.

    (note:  the youtube clip has video annotations if you go to youtube.com to watch it.)

    Now I’m back home, still cleaning up and daydreaming.  And watching the French Open .  Go Rafa!
