Olympics

The olympics have been on for over a week now and I've been really caught up with the gymnastics competition. One person in particular has blown my mind with the stunts and body control she has at age 16. Her name's Shawn Johnson and although she placed second behind her teammate Nastia Liukin in the overall standings I think she deserved better than she got. And today I realized that professional athletes are people just like me and you. Shawns friends and family support her just like our parents support us in all the things we like to do. I've never thought of professional athletes as people before, never thought they had real feelings. What I saw today was that some of these stars do have class. Shawn went up to Nastia after the last part of the competition and congratulated her whole-heartedly with tears in her eyes. That's class.

The girl? The summer? Must be the girl.

I'm going insane...plain and simple. I have no idea why either, I'm just pissed and any other negative adjective you can think of. And I have no clue why. I suppose it's because I like a girl that I couldn't see if I had a full tank of gas and an open road. But what about her...the fact that I've only been talking to her for a few days worries me. I like everything about her except that she lives so far away. We have some of the same dreams, I don't dislike anything she does. She doesn't drink, smoke, or use, which I think is awesome. We listen to the same kind of music, for the most part. She's had a tough life and that makes me respect her. She don't know she's beautiful, though time and time I've told her so. She's suspicious and doesn't trust anybody but herself, I like that because people only get to be like that by believing lies and having a lot of things go poorly. She's hilarious. She loves skating, speed skating, which I'd like to learn to do. She has golfed in the past, though I'm not sure she ever will again after the "incident." Yet, I feel like I know nothing about her, I feel that if i met her it would make everything about her so much more crystal. God, I'm having a tough time figuring things out the last few days. It's because I'm sleep deprived, I know. Stillness, silence, and sleep are all I want right now. But I cannot, for the life of me, turn my brain off and just fall into darkness. The Lion Sleeps Tonight is the only thing that is really calming me down right now. The rhythmic music and chanting and whatever else is just perfect. Then, of course, the dreaded Love is a Beautiful Thing comes. Makes me come back and think of her again, damn. I'd like to say it's love, but it's not. Not in 4 days. I want to go to someplace cold, like 50 degrees. Actually, what i really want is to be alone in a cold place. I want to be able to see my thoughts, either on paper or in some other form of visible media. I want to know what I'm thinking and from that be able to figure out why I'm thinking it. This post is a little different than the last, in the fact that I'm unhappy with myself this time, life has changed for the better, but it's still missing something. I'm going to go look for that something....I really hope someone reads this post and it isn't just mindless babbling because I spent over an hour writing it. Please somebody, anybody, help me.

I Feel Accomplished

1. The wedding is over, congratulations Heidi and Scott, but I hate weddings.
2. Got driving hours 4 and 5 done. 1 to go.
3. Got brother's b-day present, a month early.
4. I've done 900 situps in the last 3 days.
5. Got a lot of golfing in thus far this summer, hope to go tomorrow too.
6. Got braces off. It was about time.

That's really all I've done the last couple days. Not bad for me during the summer.

Ahh...Summer is Finally Here

Summer has finally arrived, it's been a long wait for most, it seems short to few, but the glorious time has arrived. Summer as we all call it is here, though it still doesn't feel as it should. The dreary weather has not yet gone, but it shall, it shall.

And enough of the poetic style. That got old really quickly. It's rained every day of summer so far, but tomorrow is supposed to be nice. Hopefully it turns out as it has been forcasted. We'll see shortly. Welcome to summer. Peace, harmony, and warmth are the things I think of when I think about summer.

I have big plans for this summer, but we'll see if any of them blossom or if they all just die with the grass. Working out is my biggest concern for this summer, I know I'll have plenty of time, but I don't know if I'll have the motivation. Getting a job was next on the list and I'm pretty sure that is one that will not develop, simply because I don't want to work, I don't want to be busy and I don't want to have any responsibilities.

So far I've done next to nothing towards my goals. I ran half a mile on Thursday night, but that's not the kind of start I was hoping to get this summer. It's rained every other day, so I haven't really had a chance to get out and run, but I plan to both run and do some arm exercises tomorrow, hopefully that all pans out. My running goal is to exceed 250 miles, if it keeps raining I won't get anywhere near that.

My brother leaves for an FFA retreat tomorrow, I hope that goes well for him. He'll probably be grouchy when he returns on Tuesday, but that's alright, we'll live. Hopefully he has fun and all goes well.

Congratualtions to all those who graduated this year, I would like to wish you all luck with the next stage of your life no matter what that may be. For some it may be college, for others just work, and some nothing. Buena suerte. I wish you many happy, healthy years.

Good night.

Well...I'm Addicted Again

This sucks. Not really, but I can say it does. I'm addicted to the computer again, I'm bored so I get on the computer, which is just as boring as everything else I have to do.

As for updates, the seniors are gone. Congratulations to all of them, I wish them luck with their lives. The school halls feel really empty without them, but I only have to deal with the emptiness for four more days. Then it's summer. 'Bout time summer got here.

I don't know if I ever mentioned it on here, but I had big plans for this summer. I was going to find a job and work for about two months, until I got my license. Then, I was going to golf everyday for the last month. I also wanted to run about six miles a day. I'm not sure I'm going to have the motivation to do any of those things, but hopefully I'll bring in some money in some way.

It's Been a While

What's up everyone?

School is finally coming to a close, though it will feel like another 3 months before June rolls around it's right around the corner. I'm excited for summer, this has been a long 9 months. The real reason I'm looking forward to summer is that I have a lot of things to do; get in shape and get a job are the big things on my list. I'll be happy to not have homework and to have golf over with.

Golf, where do I start. At the start of the year i was schooting high 50's and low 60's for the most part. After that, I was shooting mid-to-low 40's for a few meets. Now, I'm back up to the high 40's, low 50's. The last two rounds I've played have both been 18 holes and I shot 100 both times. I just want to get back to the double digits on Tuesday. These last two rounds have also been on courses that are new to me; The Jewel in Lake City and The Bridges in Winona. The Jewel I hated, it really frustrated me and I felt that I played terrible on both the front and back. I shot 49, 51 which really isn't that bad, but it's worse than I expect from myself. Today was The Bridges. It's not a bad little course, it is tough though. I shot 47,53 and was happy with the front nine. It seemed to me that I should have done a lot better on the back nine, but hopefully the great round comes on Tuesday and I get to sections.

The golf team set a record for the most wins in a season (4). I think it's pretty sad that our team had never won more than 3 meets in a year before this one, but I'm not complaining. We almost set a school record for lowest score also. We shot a 178 and the school record is 177. My average for the season was just a little over 49 and it should have been at most 45, the 50's and 60's at the beginning of the year killed my whole year.

Let me just vent a for a little hear...First off, I hate stupid people. I think that stupid people should have to wear a sign classifying them by stupidity level. Also, i classify people that over-react as stupid people. If people don't know you, don't care about you, then why do you care about what they think. It just doesn't make sense to me that people care that much about what other people think of them. The only person that has to like you is you. Next, my brothers are idiots. They sat on opposite couches, TV off, for half an hour just because one wanted the other to leave. What idiots!

Well, stay sexy. I'm out for now.

Update

Well I guess some people do read this. As for updates, not much has happened. Today is the last day of Spring Break, sadly. I think I need school back though.

Golf started a couple weeks ago and I'm really excited for this season. I think our team has a chance to go to sections for the first time ever and I think we'll set some school records. Only one of our varsity players from last year graduated so now we are, for the most part, one year older and one year wiser. I can't wait for the courses to open to see what we're actually made of.

That's really all that's happened in the last month? two months? I don't know, whenever I last posted. Talk to you all later.

Does anybody read this anymore? I just don't want to feel like I'm talking to myself all the time.

Well now...

SHiT!!!!! I have pneumonia. All pneumonia is is fluid in your lung/s. There are only a few symptoms: cough, fever, and lack of energy. I hate being sick...

Hey Everybody

Well school is back in full force, but that's more than fine with me. I'm actually happy to be back, I don't really know why since I was excited for Christmas Vacation. School's the only place where I really get to be around people I like and I guess that's why I'm glad to be back. I really need to start writing again because my grammar is starting to get sloppy. I don't have the motivation to start writing much though, probably because nothing interesting has happened lately. Or I just need a good topic to begin with. Any ideas?
