Today me and my older brother went to are cousin house in Richmond. We had not been their in over two years so I was very excited that my aunt called and wanted us to spend some time with them. My cousin raised me and my two older brothers so it was nice to stop by and enjoy some of the Texas home fashion hospitality. My grandmother was also visiting from Texas, so it was great that I got the chance to spend time with her. I did not do to much while I was over their, we just sat and talked about the past, present, and plans for the future. I got a chance to eat some real good gumbo while i was their as well, i wasn't touching the cow tongue.;-)

Christmas day I got to spend most of my time with my family, opening and exchanging gifts. After, me and my family went to church in are old neighborhood on gaskill, and i was happy couse it had been a while since I had been. The preacher also had a really good message in the service, I felt like he was talking to me most of the time. After church me and they family retired to my aunt's house in east Oakland and ate some good gumbo. We didn't do to much just relaxed. I had a good day befor my aunt and mom started fighting but families go through that from tiime to tiime.

I really didn’t do to much today. I had some fun with my friend and his family for new years. We all went bowling in antioch, was my first time bowling.I had won one game and no one wanted to play me for money. I had a good time, played with my best friend little brother, meet a couple new family members, and just enjoyed my free time worry free.

The couch of the Oakland Raiders was very upset after Sundays lost to the San Diego chargers. The Raiders, After coming up just a game short of the playoffs (again this year), the first year head couch of the raiders Hue Jackson showed his displeasure with his team after the game in a media press conference. The team finished with an 8-8 record and Hue Jackson believed that his team could have preformed better then this year has showed and wishes he would have gotten more out of his players. The raiders had the whole season on the line when playing the chargers and felt that it was their team to shine, but no one could have anticipated the lack luster efforts of the raiders. This game was another showing of the penalty leaden raiders who set a season record for most penalties and have made that list 4 times in NFL history. Aside from killing themselves in games, the raiders defense this year was close to last place this season and to me was the main reason that they could not get to the playoffs this year.
With all the changes that have happened to the raiders this year, leading them would have to be the lost of their owner the late great AL Davis, and with all that comes new responsibility and accountability that the raiders showed that they wasn’t ready for. I was upset with the raider because I had hoped that we could have made the playoffs but the team lacks discipline and needs to get that in check before they hope to win a championship. I believe that Hue Jackson should be pissed with his team because they are professionals and they are playing like college students. I believe that Hue should demand more from his team and try to shake this losing image that the raider have picked up over the last few years. I would like to see the raiders reach the level when they where dominate and feared. I believe the raiders should rebuild because what we got going right now is not working and that we should rebuild for the bottom to the top, but hopefully stay in Oakland and get us a championship.
