Priceless . .

As a child, this had to be one of my most favorite things to do. Picking them, right when ripe, and popping it into my mouth. People thought it was weird a boy of my age having this hobby. People assume they are bigger in the summer time due to the moisture in the heat, but in the winter time I enjoy walking outside, digging for it, and eating it raw. I find more joy in it when I am sick. I hope in the winter time I would grow sick just to get the thrill of these veggies. Now as an adult, I have the best job in the world. As a pediatrician working in the ER, I get a lot of snotty nose monsters. When I have a patient, I cringe of excitement. I sweat waiting for the moment I say “Sit back and let me suck the boogies out of your nose.” I put the little blue instrument down; prescribe some Children Motrin and then head back to my office. I sit back there and eat the delightful boogies the kid left behind. Being a doctor . . .lots of money. Eatting boogies . . . PRICELESS!

But Mom He is Human . . .



Okay so I thought this was the cutest picture of my little brother (Alan "BOOM BOOM" Carter Jr). Despite the fact he was crushed because he had to eat the man he onced called "friend." awkward :/

So I noticed . .

By looking at other classmates' blogs I noticed that I do not cuss enough. lol. Just some interesting and random.

VCU & UR earn Sweet 16, excitement builds. (WWBT) - It's a double dose of March Madness in Richmond, as both Virginia Commonwealth University and the University of Richmond make it to the Sweet 16 in the Men's NCAA basketball tournament in San Antonio.

Let the smack talk begin. It's only Monday, but still students at both UR and VCU are ready for their big Sweet 16 match-ups this week. One thing that's on everyone's mind -- if both teams win -- is an all-Richmond Elite Eight match up, that could mean big things for a city now sitting pretty on the map.

First it was the Spiders, punching their ticket for the Sweet 16 on Saturday.

"It's crazy. Everyone's been wild about it. It's been about 22 years since we've been there. It's such a great time to be here to be a Spider. Be proud," says UR Fan Jeremy Lampman.

"As a fellow athlete, I appreciate these guys. I know them. It's exciting and it's unbelievable," says fellow UR Fan Dylan Stoops.

Then, Richmond's cross town rival VCU, punching their first ever ticket to the Sweet 16 with an emphatic win over Purdue on Sunday.

"It's crazy here man. The streets are going crazy. Everyone is going crazy. I love it," says VCU Fan Jonathan Reed.

"Everyone in the dorms was screaming. Bunch of excitement," says VCU fan Justine Dutton.

Two schools, from two non-power conferences, in the same region, making some big time moves in the basketball world. Everyone here knows how big this really is.

"We are just having a good time celebrating the city and the basketball team," adds Jonathan.

"And it will bring a lot of people in," says Jeremy.

"Everyone is talking about it on Facebook, Twitter. Everything," says VCU Fan Marc Rosen.

All you need to do is search for either the Spiders or Rams and the posts are endless.

Oh, and you can't forget about the smack talk. It's on.

Derek Oberschain says, "All of my friends at VCU, I don't talk to them anymore. Had to ditch them!"

Gene asking, "For good, or just for this week?"

Derek answering, "Just this week. Well, maybe forever if we lose."

A lot of you are picking up some new gear to root on the Spiders and Rams. And just think-- both teams are just one win away from playing each other -- for a chance to go the Final Four!

"The city would be crazy! Completely divided by black and yellow versus red and blue," says Jeremy.

Enjoying Everyday Life

Testimony  .  . . Is what makes a good speech.

To have Wisdom you need two things

*Knowledge and Experience*

My grandmother is the wisest woman I know. To give you background. She was teased in middle school. Popular in high school. Married at 18 and Pregnant by her 19 birthday. Widowed by 25 and alone the rest of her life. Sounds sad? I thought it was too. My grandad was shot by the husband of the women he cheated on my grandmother with. My grandmother has been through more than I can imagine within her first thirty years of life. I feel as if she died along with her husband.

I ask her why didn't she ever love again?

She told me that she was simply still in love.

At this point my mind was twisted up. I thought to myself, "Why would you love the person who left you and your family to be with another woman?" I did not understand.

"The man never stopped loving me." she said passionately.

My heart would have been in a dark place. I would have never trusted man again. People do not realize that the little bad things you do can have the worst consequences. Was that woman worth dying for Grandpa? Why didn't you be faithful to my grandmother? She is a good woman. I told my grandmother she was silly for still loving him.

she stared at me in disbelief and whispered "He watches over us from above. HE is our Angel."

"Ok grandma, if you think that cheating man went to heaven you are crazy." I said shaking my head. She chuckled to me. She told me I was delirious. "Whatever Grandma." I thought she was so crazy after that day. I did not understand at all. It wasn't until a couple days later when I was sleep on the couch that I realized something. Looking at her read her Joyce Meyers inspiration books, and looking at television following Joyce Myer words, I felt dumb. I said . .

"Grandma you wasn't talking about Granpa the other day was you?"

She replied "NO. I forgave your grandfather a long time ago, but soon after I gave myself to CHRIST! I found love in him, I found love within myself."



Karma is a _______! (you fill in the blank)

"Girl I tell ya, he is the finest boy who ever stepped foot at VCU."

"Look at the way he walk, and talk. It is like he was sent from a differnet planet. I mean I never saw anyone or anything like him."

"I got to have him."

"well go say something to him Katie."

"No. no. I will choke or get nervous."

"Come on Katie. You are pretty. Smart. and you are a charmer."

"Thanks Sydney. I think I will speak to him after biology class is over. Oh look! Here he comes now. SSSShhhhhh."

"Looking at me or you Sydney?"

"Come on Katie. He is just trying to use me to get closer to you. Just watch."

"Sydney. Sydney wait up! Katie, Slow down. STOP!"

"Yes Josh."

"Hey, I just wanted to thank you again for helping me on that test. Is there anything I can do to make it up to you?"

"Well yea. Katie and I was going to the movies tonight. You should come with some of your friends."

"OK cool. I'll be there! See you guys later."

"Sydney, can we go to the bathroom really quick."

"Wassup girl?"

"Ok I think we are confused. I think Mike wants to be with me and Josh is trying to be with you."

"So what do we do? I know how much you like Josh"

"Well maybe we should just leave. or maybe we should sit seperate."

"How about this. How about I just ask Josh who does he want to sit with."

"Ok."

"Hey Josh. Can I talk to you alone for a minute."

"Sydney. I came here tonight to be with you. I bought Mike for her. I didn't know you wanted me to be with her. I thought you liked me. I mean Katie is so quiet, and I feel more comfortable around you and I talk to you more."

"Well . . . "

"Well what Sydney? Do you want to be with me or not?"

"Katie is my bestfriend. I mean I do think your cute but she is my bestfriend."

"Awww she will get over it. Just come watch the movie with me and whatever happens happens."

"Umm I don't know."

"Come on Sydney. Stop being so scared."

"Ok."

"Ok let's go in guys."

"Hey Katie, do you want some candy or something?"

"No Mike I am fine."

"Well katie and I are sitting beside each other. Any rejections?"

"Me"

"Why Sydney?"

"Well I wanted to sit beside her."

"Well you can sit on one side and I can sit on the other."

"Well what about Josh?"

"Dont worry about me. I will sit on the other side of Sydney."

"Sounds like a plan."

"I'm sorry Syndey. I'm sorry Mike. I feel alittle sick. I think I am going to go home."

"Come on Katie. Don't be a party pooper because I like your friend and not you."

"JOSH!!!"

"What Sydney?"

"Why would you say something like that?"

"Because it's true Sydney. I like you. She needs to know that. Are you going to go in this movie with me or not?"

"Ummm. ughhh. Im sorry Katie. I already bought my tticket.Call me when you get home."

"Wow. Sydney how are you going to do that to your bestfriend?"

"Mike shut up. You always in somebody else business. That's why nobody likes you."

"What Mike? What?"

"Listen, I'm sorry for what happened back there. Josh told me that I was coming for you. I had no idea."

"It is not even about Josh anymore. My bestfriend left me for him. She knew how I felt about him and she still chose to be with him. That hurts you know."

"Well atleast she doesn't have a STD."
