• yoyoyo…into the life of myspace i go…

  after finding out that my boys Devon and Andrew have myspace…my resolve has been broken down and last night i took the plunge…

  www.myspace.com/rwinzeler

  but i haven’t figured out how to add any friends…PLEASE ADD ME or do something to make it easy for me to find you…and to all those (MYSSI and DANI!!!!) who have told me their myspace names in the past, please do so again.

  Larry cut his hair. all of it. Larry’s hair was Larry. this is a big step. i’m proud of the guy. who could walk in bald to the youth center and have 30 kids stop and stair and not be fazed? i should find a before and after picture of Larry. Larry’s fro was longer than my hair.

  Two guys stole Mark’s shoes. whether or not they were on Mark’s feet at the time still remains a mystery. but his mom came up and filed a police report about it yesterday. fun. not. And more drama with Indaisha’s nose getting broken. by one of the boys that comes to the center. he’s normally laid back, so why he is hittting her, and what Cedric is now going to do about it…all remains to be discovered. and the whole thing makes me sick to my stomach.

  i kept stats for the first basketball game of the youth center…Rockets? oh, what is their official name? i don’t remember. anyways, the boys from the center. we won–68-60. Johnny was the high scorer with 23 points and 20 rebounds. nice. the game actually went about 10 extra minutes because the guy keeping the scoreboard kept forgetting to start the clock. whoops. Sara’s gone. it was great to be working with one of my best friends over Christmas. she’s gonna have a banging semester at Northland.

  John has been coming with me to the youth center a couple days this week. except for getting a bloody lip in the ball pit, he’s done pretty well. Sara had a hard time keeping a straight face when he raised his hand to answer a question in Bible study. the question? “What is sin?” John’s answer? “When you call someone a ‘Butterbutt’ ” Well, that pretty much reveals A LOT about life at the Winzeler house, doesn’t it?

  you know what is the messiest part of the house? right next to the trash can. that hit me as being very philosophical. while i was cleaning the house. i started my internet classes…intro to psychology, intro to human services, intro to politics, and drug and substance abuse. actually, i like the drug book the best. just because i can yell “hey, don’t bother me right now, i am reading my drug book!”

  Anna is amazing. too bad she thinks my xanga is “soft” or…what was the word she used? i don’t remember, but it wasn’t flattering, and she won’t read this note of praise. she went and played piano at a nursing home yesterday. she’s been working every day at Spaghetti factory or Aldis–putting in up to 9 hour shifts. and she cleaned her room today. i even SWEPT THE FLOOR. so don’t worry Mommy, life is good. i even put away the Christmas decorations today…er…a couple weeks after Christmas.
