All Geeked Up

From UrbanDictionary.com: Geeked: very hyper or excited about something or someone.Raheem was all geeked up when he found out we were going to the Super Bowl.

Dear J.R. and Craig,

Categories:Donny Pauling, XXXchurch

More of the Back Story, and Why I'm a Little Confused at the Moment

Right now I’m in a state of limbo. I’ve been offered jobs, one of which I wrote about here. That particular job paid well enough to meet my needs, but something inside told me I needed to check into it more. I drove to Seattle to do so. I asked a lot of questions of [...]
