Well, what a week. So many things that happened, yet so little that was accomplished. (if you can make sense of that, please tell me) The day went be very fast. Not just because it was early dismissal, but because my mind was somewhere else for most of the day. I felt suspended in a that pretty fairyland that you go to when your crazy spanish teacher is on one of her homicidal rants. And although that is usually the case when i leave where i currently am physically and take a trip in lala land, but today it was somehow different. Today, the mood was tinged with a morbid tone.
But enough of all that depressing talk. Today started out with somewhat of a procession honoring Capt. Adam Snyder, who was LPA class of 2000. The wind ensemble played, there was donuts, and our principal presented a flag to his brother, Evan Frazier. Very depressing. But on the bright we missed half of spanish and got to play bingo. I have found that for some reason i am unusually horrible at playing bingo.
Brazee went by really fast, and Spooney as well with the vocab quiz (which i aced). Gieger was boring, but in Engineering i designed my computer model for my catapult. It looks awesome! And only two days work. What do ya know. In harriman i did two content pages on photoshop with kim (she read out the directions as she did them, and i followed along). Math was pretty fun. Mrs. Reynen finally told us the story of how she smuggled bibles into china. It was really funny.
When i got home, i messed around with photoshop for awhile, and actually came up with something that looks halfway decent. I'll put it at the end of the post. So for the last several hours i have been at the computer photoshopping, playing some games, and listening to some moosic. But i think im gonna call it a night soon because i have a big meet tomorrow. Wish me luck. Song today is Higher by Creed, but i am unable to get a link right now, so ill put it on later.
ps. wasnt able to post the picture due to...problems i couldn't figure out how to get past. Its late, ima go to bed.

Heyyy..... i got the song now. So if your one of those people who go back and read through peoples blog, here it is.

She Acts Like Summer And Walks Like Rain
Well today was amazingly uninteresting. Got up, regular routine, catch the bus, and went to school. Got to first period, waited for crazy woman to get there, and just mellowed. Sam wasn't there, so it was really quiet. Spanish was boring (no surprise there), and Brazee was in an uncharacteristically bad mood, yelling about people not putting the hole-puncher away. I don't really know the details, but now our period can't use the stapler or the hole-puncher. Sigh.
Spooney was pretty boring, what with a quiz and work with FCAT the whole period. Gieger was more busy work, and in engineering i aced a work and power quiz. In Harriman, i played an addicting game called dodge the lazer the whole period. It was pretty fun. Reynen was alright, although it was work in the FCAT book all period, and since i was done, i had nothing to do.
Track was unusually boring too. And cold. Very cold. We ran a light 25 minutes, and then came back and watched the long jumpers practice their technique. At the very end, David Hodgson, a discus thrower, brought out the Jalepeno cheetos. They were AMAZING!! Maybe it was because i was insanely hungry, or maybe it was because i inherently love cheetos, but they were awesome.
Well, i'm gonna go watch survivor and so on and so forth. Have a good night. Song today is Drops of Jupiter by Train.

The Winner Takes It All
So, today was preeety fun. It all started with that X-tremely hard test that we took for the first two hours of school. It was nice and easy the first four problems and then BAM!! it just totally destroys you. But, i got out of Spanish, so not all is lost.
Then the rest of the day went pretty normally. Busy work in Gieger, test review in Engineering, photoshop fun in Harriman, and some more FCAT book in math, plus we picked countries for Mrs. Reynen's project. I picked Italy, of course. Should be fun.
Anyways, the conclusion of my day was definitely the best. We had our first track meet of the season today, a dual meet against Westwood high school. I ran in the Mile, Half-mile, and the 4x400 meter relay. First up was the mile, and i was kinda nervous going in cause i knew i had a chance of winning the whole thing. So the race starts, and the first three laps goes perfectly. The guy in first went very comfortable and slow while i stayed right on his shoulder the whole race. Then at the beginning of the final lap, i gunned it and took the lead and held onto it the rest of the race with a big kick. I finished in 4:56, one second off my best time in 40 degree weather, so pretty good.
Then about an hour and a half later, i lined up for the 800. Now, in this race i totally accepted that i had almost no chance of winning. I mean, i was going up against our best 800 runner, and i had just run the mile. But i went out conservative the first lap right on his shoulder, and when we got to 300 meters left, he tried to surge away from me, but i held on and stayed right behind him all the way up to the final 100 meters. At this point, i just gave it everything i had, and what do you know, i ended winning by a second with a 2:08 flat.
The final event was the 400 meter relay, and by that time i was dead, but i still managed to run a 56, and my team won, so i pulled off the proverbial hat trick today. 3 events, 3 wins. Pretty good.
Anyways, its 10 o' clock, and i have to go take a shower and go to bed, so laters guys. Song today is The Winner Takes It All by ABBA. Take a listen.

Your Clothes Never Wear As Well The Next Day
Today i once again woke up late due to my own discourse. Usually, i hear my alarm, hit the snooze button, and then wake up when the alarm goes off again. Well today, i think when i hit the snooze button, i rolled over on top of my alarm, and the snooze button, preventing the alarm from going off. I woke up and my watch read 6:00, and i could only laugh at the ridiculously of the situation, that i could've done this twice in as many weeks. Oh well.
Spanish was boring as usual, and more notes in brazee, and the dreaded FCAT in spooney. In Gieger there was a lot of busy work, and in engineering we had a sub. Harrimans today was really fun. For the first time, i edited a picture i took on photoshop. It was pretty cool. Of course, i didn't touch it up or make it look nice, i just messed around with a bunch of the filters and the image adjustments. But i kinda liked it, and im probably gonna be doing it more now, since Kim is gonna give me her photoshop disc so i can download it.
In math, we went over some more problems in the FCAT book, and that was basically it. Practice today was a few light miles in preparation for tomorrow's meet, and then we picked out our uniforms. I got number 3, and i was pretty happy with that, although i wanted 8. When i got home i had some spaghetti and meatballs, and then checked out this new thing Sam showed me. It called piclens, and it is a cool new way of looking at a series of photos on the internet.
Anyways, i'm gonna leave you blog readers with that, and find my way to my bed pretty soon.
Song today is Absolutely (Story of A Girl) by Nine Days. Enjoy.

My Spirit Sleeping Somewhere Cold
Hey wassup everybody! Or at least, all who are crazy enough to the crazy ramble of thoughts that is my blog. Today was pretty fun, and i don't even know why. It wasn't in any day out of the ordinary, but somehow i had this general feeling right down to my veins that there was something grander, something that made me want to yell out loud with delight. I don't why, maybe it was just something in the air.
Anyways, lets start at the beginning. The Spanish test was sooooooooooooooo hard today. It was 15 O's hard. Lets just say that its a good thing i'm really good at Spanish, or i would've been screwed. I was one of only 6 to finish. Among them were Juan Arana, 4 Spanish speaking ninth graders, and kelvan drummond (i don't know how that one worked out), and me. I didn't even get to the extra credit.
Then in second period we were bombarded by once again teachers that make absolutely no sense. Mr. Brazee preaches the first 5 minutes on how all of his classes are going to fall behind because of that Math test on wednesday (sounds like fun), then speeds through our notes so we're done by 8:15 with 25 minutes left in class, and says we can stop for today, instead of making up for time we are going to lose.
Then spooney said the most hilarious thing ive heard her say all year. We were going over the literary devices in Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, and she said
"I just want to talk about this one line because its really good; 'He was very cool and gave no resistance, but gave me one look, so ugly that it brought out the sweat on me like running.' You know class when someone just gives you such an evil stare that it takes the breath out of you?"
All i could think of was the spooner death stare (you know, the one that she reserves for you when she is truly angry) and i could hardly contain my laughing. The entire back left of the classroom started laughing (discreetly), because we all were thinking the same thing. "Mrs. Spooner, you are one that gives me those stares".
Then Gieger was boring as usual, and engineering, we had a test review, and Web masters, did a pretty cool photoshop tutorial on a solar system with a planet effect. And in algebra, more FCAT books. At practice, we ran 8 200's at 34-35 second pace, with a jog 200 in between, just something to get the heart pumping and ready for Wednesdays meet.
Man this post has been long, but im gonna wrap it up i promise, just one more thing.
I turned in the class schedule sheet for next year. I went with Chemistry ll, and then ultimately decided on Engineering 2, but all the web masters classes for my other choices. So, whats meant to be will be (or as Sam puts it, whats forced to be will be).

When Everything Feels Like The Movies
Today was very relaxing and very fast. Even as i am typing now it feels as though i have just woken from my slumber. I slept all the way till 10 ( i think this is going to become a habit), and then ate some waffles and watched some mythbusters with my dad. Around 1:30, my brother had to go to a birthday party, and i saw this as the perfect time to get my mom to go shopping (because otherwise she wouldn't have left until much later). So we went shopping and got home around 3:30, and i went to work finishing Mrs. Spooners text marking (what a drag), and then at 4:30 mowed the front lawn.
Afterwards i finished up Mr. Brazee's essay and then made some tacos for dinner. I had nothing to do so i went on limewire and downloaded some Papa Roach and Breaking Benjamin (Plus sorry by Buck Cherry. I'm probably gonna have to go do the dishes soon, but im trying to put that off as long as possible.
The namesake of this today's post is one of my favorite lines in a song ever. Probably because its in a great song, but also cause sometimes i really just feel like that. I don't know. Anyways, im gonna wrap this up. Song today is Iris by Goo Goo Dolls. Enjoy.

Hows It Gonna Be
Well, today was an amazingly boring Saturday. Woke up around 10, and my family was already gone to go to my brothers baseball game, so i had the house to myself for a few hours. Made some waffles and then watched 'Til there was you. Round 1:00, i did some work in the math FCAT book, and then did some work on Spooners Visual Interpretation of Dantes inferno. I picked the opening two tercets, where he wakes up in the dark wood, and drew a picture of that. I think it looks pretty good, but i did it all in pencil, so tomorrow ill probably do it in colored pencils to make it look nice.
After that, it was around 4:00, so i had nothing to do and it was beautiful outside, so i went running. It felt really groggy and slow cause i ran so hard yesterday. But i still ran a 35:36 for 5 miles, which was pretty good.
When i got back and jumped in the pool, i found that my uncle and my grandma had come over. My dad made some hot dogs and burgers, but i decided i wanted some shrimp, so i cooked some up scampi style (sate some garlic and butter and then cook the shrimp in it, its amazing!). Then they left around six, and i did Brazze's essay. Afterwards, my whole family and i played Oh Hell. Its a card game kinda like spades. It was a lot of fun. My dad ended up winning, but i got a close second.
I'm currently watching employee of the month, which is a lot better than i remembered it being. Anyways, i think im gonna wrap this up, so byes. Song today is Hows It Gonna Be by Third Eye Blind. Check it out!

Earth Below Us
TGIF!
God, even though this week was only four days, it seemed like it went on forever! i mean, seriously. Monday seems like a distant dream right now.
Anyways, before I start rambling on that topic, lets get into what happened today. Woke up, regular routine, except sam was on googletalk, so i talked with him a bit until we had to go catch the bus. Sunrise this morning was amazing. One more list for the cons of going to an out-of-state university (haven't decided which yet). I have no theory on why Mrs. Lugo has been so crazy this week. It has to be the full moon. I can't think of any other reason, other than shes completely wacko. That just may be a possibility as well.
Well well, time to pick Electives next year. I'm so riddled with indecision. Not for my IB Electives, i'm already definitely jumping on the chemistry boat. Its my other elective that im having trouble with. Ive currently set up a balance. On one end there is the clear academic choice, Engineering 2, which is cool, but idk, it leaves something to be desired. On the other side is the fun choice, the class i wanna take, integrated design/information design/portfolio design (haven't decided which yet). I hope i can decide by Monday.
Rest of the day was a breeze. Vocab in Spooner, Aced the Test in Gieger, worked on my catapult in engineering and had some fun with photoshop. Oh, god. I thought after today we were done with those godforsaken FCAT books in math. But Reynen has pulled us back in. Not that its hard work, just so boring.
The Orange and Black meet was pretty cool. I ran a 2:07 in the 800, so back to last seasons times already (im gonna get to 2:00, i can feel it), and then i totally flopped out in the mile. In my defense, coach only gave us 45 minutes rest in between. It was too too bad, a 5:10. Far cry from what i wanted however. We went to champs afterwards, and we had some of that great pizza that Champs always has. I also heard a song i haven't heard in ages. Major Tom by Peter Schilling. I listening to it right now "Earth below us, Drifting falling, Floating Weightless, Calling Calling Home". I love the beat to that song.
Anyways, i'm gonna wrap it up. Song today is, of course, Major Tom by Peter Schilling. Check it out!

Banging On the Door of an Angel
Well well, so many things to talk about, where to begin? Not really, i just really wanted to open up my blog like that. But there are a fair number of things to speak of today, as opposed to the previous few.
Last night i must've forgotten to turn my alarm on, cause i woke up and it was light outside, and i thought "oh crap!". It was 6:20, and we had to hurry to get ready (i'm proud to say that i was showered, dressed, fed and out the door inside of 12 minutes). So i was late to spanish, who cares. I swear that lady is becoming crazier every day. On the other side of things, and a little out of order, the sunrise this morning was amazing. I thought i was looking into the heavens themselves my eyes took in the great beauty of the Florida sunrise.
Mr. brazee handed us back our essays today, and i got a 90, so i was pretty happy. I completely nailed the quiz in Spooner, and i listened to Mrs. Gieger say voluum (by the way, for billy, she pronounces it "vol-yum", like shes rolling the u's) for the umpteenth time, and had even more troubles with my catapult in Mr. Hueters class.
Web masters was same old same old, and Algebra was well, algebra. Still working in the FCAT books, and the only consolation to that is there hasn't been any math homework this weekend. At Track today we just did a light workout in preparation for tomorrow's mock meet, which ill go into in a minute. We ran 6 200s, at around 35 second pace, with a 200 jog in between. Easy stuff. The meet thats tomorrow is officially called the Black and Orange Intra squad Invitational (our school colors are orange and black). Coach divides the boys up into 2 teams (orange and black), and we run a mock meet against each-other. Its basically a time trial for a lot of people, but it should be pretty fun. I'm gonna run the 800 and the mile (woo hoo).
Afterwards theres plans for stopping at Champs pizza place for dinner. You know us Italians, can't get enough of that pizza.
Anyways, i'm gonna wrap this shindig up, so song of the day is The Freshman by Verve Pipe. Hopefully Sam will help me get a link to put on the post to get you the song.
So go

90 Percent of Life is Half Mental
Well, just another boring Wednesday. Although it feels like the beginning of the week. Probably cause we had monday off. Today we had pretty much nothing but the normal routine of knowledge in and brain cells out. Nothing too out of the ordinary today, except for the fact that Mrs. Spooner said she liked my response to her Dantes Personal Assessment. Theres also this contest she told me about called doodle for google, cause she knows im in Harrimans and like photoshop and all that jazz. I thought it looked really interesting, but i'm probably not going to enter, cause only 6 get picked and im not that good with the computer. Oh well, to have tried and to have lost is better than to not have tried at all.
Practice today was also lame and boring. All it we did was go out onto the course and run 4 miles easy. My only consolation is that the season starts next week. Finally! Although, i will have to say that i have found a spiritual necessity that i now receive from my running. It has become a ritual, one that has been completed almost every day, one that has left a changed person. I know it sounds wierd, but i no longer go out for a run because i have to, but more so that i want to. Ah, to be a rock and not a roll.
Anyways, i going to wrap this up even though im going to be up for another hour or so waiting to see the lunar eclipse. Right now its so bright outside i could read a book. Its magnificent. I wish my camera was working right so i could take a good picture. Oh well. Song today is Love Song by Sara Bareilles (its a great new song, so check it out if you can!)
Bye Byes
P.S. the reason ive stopped trying to put media on my posts cause it was really slowing down my computer and a few others when they tried to get on.

Head Made of the Ground
Ah, the blog.
Today was very slow and sluggish. It was the first day back from a long 3-day weekend (as a opposed to a short one), and i was a little behind the curve today, mentally and physically. There were a surprising amount of things that didn't happen today. In Spanish, Mrs. Lugo finally confirmed for everyone that she truly is crazy. She asked Anna (krumskya..Kramskya...Kramskia?..whatever, you get the point) the answer to the first question on the warm-up, which was "Si, nade". And Mrs. Lugo told her she was wrong. Then, after a long and painful procession of hopeful students searching for the correct answer, she said the answer was "Si, nade". Everyone in the class sat there thinking to themselves "isn't that what Anna just said?". Gosh. Oh well.
Mr. Brazee handed back our quizzes today and i found that i had received an 88. After class, i compared scores with V, and we found that not only had we gotten the same score, we had missed the same questions and were marked 2 points off the same question for the same reason. It was a sad realization.
Today at practice we ran the dreaded workout. It was as horrible as i had remembered it. I did better than i ever had before, however, finishing with 4 in thirty seconds, 4 in thirty two seconds, and 2 in thirty four. I did, however, lose a bet with Luc that i would beat him in the majority of the 200's, so now i have to ride the bus to practice the rest of the week. This really bites because there are three teams that ride the activity bus; Softball, Baseball, and Track and Field. Its three to a row if your lucky. Blarg.
Well, thats pretty much it for today, so i'm gonna get going to do some unfinished chores. Song today is All These Things That I've Done by The Killers.
Aloha.

Semi-Charmed Kinda Life
Today was the most boring day i've had to endure in awhile. There was absolutely nothing to do, and i didn't do anything. I did do some homework (and completely nailed Brazees essay!), and then went for a super easy 4 mile run, because tomorrow is the 200 workout. A workout the devil himself conjured with the soul purpose of causing unimaginable pain. The only condolence you have while running it is that it isn't that long, but thats also the part that brings you great pain (the rest between intervals is 30 seconds).The sunset was great today, but i couldn't get a good look because i have a lot of trees in my backyard. Oh well.
Not really to much to report today, other than the fact that some people are really dumb. You know, the cars on but nobodys at the wheel, elevator doesn't go to the top floor, light sorta flickers on and off. That sorta thing. On my run, i go past a surprising amount of people with dogs. Now, most of them are on a leash, but every once and awhile you get the runaway dog with no collar. Today the person i encountered must have been some kinda dumb. there is a canal near my house called the C-24, and i basically run to it every day and then along side it for a ways. There is a fence that keeps cars from driving alongside it. Thank god for that gate. There was a lady walking her dog, a German shepherd. She sees me coming in the distance and just stands there. I figure its a nice dog since shes taking no precautions. She sits there waiting, all the while i'm getting closer. Then the German Shepherd realizes i'm there, and starts chasing off after me barking all sorts of shenanigans, and i suddenly realize this dog wants to bite my head off. i quickly jump on the fence as the dog gets there, and i get over to the other side before he can get me.
Then the lady comes over and tells the dog to heel. Are you kidding me?
Anyways, i going to go eat some Grilled Cheese, so byes

Shadow of the Day
Today was so jam packed with fun, i don't even know where to begin!
I woke up around 9, ate breakfast and watched some tv, then headed over to V's at around 12. When i got there, i walked up to his front door and rang the doorbell. No answer. So I knocked on the door. No answer. I knock again, and finally his mom answers the door and tells me hes in the shower. After he gets out, we start playing Halo 2 pretty much right away. We played on Co-op for awhile, got bored then switched to Mortal Kombat: Perception. But then V got a call and went to his room to talk, and i ended up playing Mortal kombat with Eileene for the next hour. When he finally came back out, he kicked my butt in Mortal Kombat until we got bored of that and played halo again.
Then around 4 we decided we wanted to go outside, and i tried to ride the unicycle. That darn thing is much harder to ride than it looks. I must have fell a dozen times, and i'm pretty sure Eileene took some great video of me wiping out. Then Tyler showed up while we were in the front yard, and V brought out this thing called Devil Sticks and Poy. They were really fun. When Eileene brought out a jump rope and a hula hoop, we looked like a traveling circus.
Afterwards, we went inside and ate dinner, then travelled to V's room to check out some music. We ended playing a really slow version of Everytime We Touch, and Eileene ended up getting a crazy vid of V singing and performing to it. Then Tyler left around nine, and V and i resumed playing Mortal Kombat again (i actually started beating him in the end) until my mom arrived to pick me up. We stopped at the Wal-Mart near my house on Gatlin to pick up milk, and i decided i was really in the mood for some McDonald's. I had the number 8, and felt much better afterwards.
I have A Lot of homework to do tomorrow, what with Chemistry, Brazees essay, and to top it off, a spooner assignment. So Tomorrow should be fun.
Anyways, the song today is Shadow of the Day by Linkin Park.

Better Days
Well today i slept all the way till 10. It was great. Woke up, ate some waffles, and talked with V for awhile until i got a phone call from my Aunt. Let me give a little back story here. She is a Media teacher at Rivers Edge Elementary school, but she also works for a kids party company called laf-o-lot. She called me at 11 and asked if i could help her at a party she had to go to at 1 o'clock. I said yes and a quick hour later, we were arriving at the party. See, the reason she was there was because she was going to dress up as Spongebob and put on a show for the kids. I was sorta gonna be the deliberator for her. I went up to the house and the mom told me that no kids had shown up yet for the birthday party, so we should come back in a half hour. So my aunt and i went to my Aunt Lynn Marie's house to see my little cousin, Chase. Hes only 2 and hes soo cute.
When we finally got back to the party, only 4 kids had shown up. So my aunt dressed up and we sorta winged it. All but one of the girls didn't run screaming and crying in the other direction when my Aunt got near in the Spongebob outfit, and all she would do was throw little plastic balls at her. When we finally left, i started to pull out when we heard the tires start spinning and we weren't moving. We had parked in the mud without even realizing it. Luckily there were construction workers next door and they helped us get out.
When i got home, i ate bagel bites for lunch (again), and then i sat at the computer for awhile until i got so antsy i had to go running. It was a pretty good run. I finished in 34:49 after 5 miles, and was barely breathing hard, even after running the final half mile in 2 minutes and forty nine seconds.
Then i took a dip in the pool (still freezing cold), and then watched tv for a few hours. At 8, for some reason, i was driven by the need to clean up the house, probably due to the complete bored state i was trapped in. So i cranked up the tunes and cleaned my room, the bathroom, the living, washed the dishes, and did some laundry. Two hours later, the house was clean and i still was bored. Oh well. The day left a lot to be desired, and brought hopes of better days.
Today the song is Better Days by Goo Goo Dolls.

The Remedy
There is no greater feeling in this world than a Friday before a long weekend. In this case, we have Monday off, so a three day weekend for me. But the prize comes bittersweet, for all though i will not be going to school for three days, i won't be going to school for three days. If you can make sense of that, then you are probably as crazy as I am.
Life moves waaayyy too fast. Feels like just yesterday i was arriving at open house back in August waiting to see all my friends again. Now we're all ready about to FCAT's (groan)! The only place i feel as if time is moving at the right pace is during my runs. Everything makes sense during the run, the pure energy devoted allows you to have revelations that you never even dreamed of.
School was extremely boring today. Again the only thing that keeps me going are my great friends that are always put a smile on my face (especially you sam). That and track practice, the two things to look forward to in my day. Oh, and hearing Mrs. Gieger pronounce 'volume' voluum everyday.
The day was completely normal, crazy rants in Spanish (i usually just tune it out and dream of better days), crazy Brazee in History, super Spooner in English(and a quiz which i aced without ever even reading the cantos for Dauntes inferno lol), boring, repititous notes in chem, broken catapults in Engineering, a singing substitute in Harriman, and finally an aced algebra test to end the day.
I'm so bored. My whole fam is at the ball park right now for my brothers game, and i elected to stay home and have been at the computer for 4 straight hours singing (quite horribly) to songs on my ipod. I wish i could have gone to the West Fest thing at Tradition tonight, since its just up the road, but i didn't have a ride, so oh well. I'm still waiting for inspiration to find me, to sweep me off my feet and show me the way to self-fulfillment, to a clear cut Remedy. I'll probably be waiting for awhile.
The weekend looks quite dreary, since right now i have nothing to do. Hopefully something will come up. Whatever, i won't worry my life away, i'll just spread the light on it.
Song for today is The Remedy by Jason Mraz.
And so we fade away.

I found this on the internet just now and it is so hilarious you have to read it:
EXCERPTS FROM A CAT'S DIARY
DAY 752
My captors continue to taunt me with bizarre little dangling objects. They dine lavishly on fresh meat, while I am forced to eat dry cereal. The only thing that keeps me going is the hope of escape, and the mild satisfaction I get from ruining the occasional piece of furniture. Tomorrow I may eat another houseplant.
DAY 761
Today my attempt to kill my captors by weaving around their feet while they were walking almost succeeded, must try this at the top of the stairs. In an attempt to disgust and repulse these vile oppressors, I once again induced myself to vomit on their favorite chair...must try this on their bed.
DAY 765
Decapitated a mouse and brought them the headless body, in attempt to make them aware of what I am capable of, and to try to strike fear into their hearts. They only cooed and condescended about what a good little cat I was...Hmmm. Not working according to plan.
DAY 768
I am finally aware of how sadistic they are. For no good reason I was chosen for the water torture. This time however it included a burning foamy chemical called "shampoo." What sick minds could invent such a liquid?! My only consolation is the piece of thumb still stuck between my teeth.
DAY 771
There was some sort of gathering of their accomplices. I was placed in solitary throughout the event. However, I could hear the noise and smell the foul odor of the glass tubes they call "beer.." More importantly I overheard that my confinement was due to MY power of "allergies." Must learn what this is and how to use it to my advantage.
DAY 774
I am convinced the other captives are flunkies and maybe snitches. The dog is routinely released and seems more than happy to return. He is obviously a half-wit. The bird on the other hand has got to be an informant, and speaks with them regularly. I am certain he reports my every move. Due to his current placement in the metal room his safety is assured.
But I can wait, it is only a matter of time...

A Thousand Miles
AhhhSuch a wonderful day today. Beautiful. 70 degrees, clear blue sky, and gentle breeze just enough to raise the goosebumps. Florida at its finest. Such an inspiring day. Yet, during most of it i felt like i was a thousand miles away, making my way through the day floating on the clouds. There was way too much rhyming in that sentence.
Everyone has a comfort zone. A place where they surround themselves with walls of steel that will keep them secure of their emotions and their thoughts. A place in which they can always retreat to if things get little crazy. Some people are much more confident and don't even have a comfort zone, simply because they are comfortable everywhere. Others would rather stay in those comfort zones there whole lives instead of stepping out into the world. I'm somewhere between those two extremes. Today, i stepped out of my comfort zone, i ventured out to a place not often traveled by myself. I have to admit, I'm quite glad i did, even though it didn't go as perfectly crafted in my head, but then, what actually ever does?
Now that I've had a taste of this life outside my comfort zone, i feel eager to travel outside again, because its an amazing world out there, and you just have to jump and hope you land on your feet. Like the taco bell commercial, In this new world, anything is possible.
But i digress. Great workout today. 6 800's, and i did all of them at around 2:35, and the final one i hit 2:17. it was amazing. I was rewarded with my ears popping and a splitting headache afterwards, but worth it on the whole.
Picture today is a great one of my cat around Christmas last year. Doesn't really go with the theme today, but i came across it and had to put it in. She looks kinda like a devil cat, doesn't she?
Song today is A Thousand Miles by Vanessa Carlton. Such a great song to listen to when your in the mellow mood. Check it out.

Nostaligic Facade
Today was just like every other day. It was Florida at its finest, so unpredictable and untamed. This morning it was pouring. Nasty, muggy, and just all-around ucky. It stayed this way through most of the day until around 4 O' clock. At that time, the heavens opened up and the sun came out. It was magnificent. I was so inspired, i went on a six-mile run. I kept a nice easy pace and finished in 42 and a half minutes.
It really stinks that Track was canceled today. So now we'll have a really hard workout tomorrow (probably a 200 workout).
Rest of the day was pretty much normal.
Wow. My post wasn't really that long today. I guess its probably because today was so boring. Probably a directly result of the dreary and somber blanket that weather seemed to put on everyone today.
Oh my gosh, i almost forget the highlight of the day. I have Spanish first period, and the yearbook staff heard that we've been dancing in that class every day, so they came in to photograph us dancing. Juan and Maria (a ninth grader) had a nice little group up and dancing in no time. Me and V, however, had to hide our mad dancing skills for the time being.

Such A Lonely Day
Today was so mentally and emotionally draining. I feel like my life is in tatters and I'm desperately trying to sow the pieces back together.
Today was FCAT writes, and I am glad to say that i aced it. afterwards, i went to engineering and webmasters, ate lunch and then algebra (it was so funny that Mrs. Reynen let Justin Dorey teach our class today while she took his place in her seat).
When i got home, watched a mythbusters and then went to work on my Engineering project. I am currently taking a small break from what has turned out to be the most frustrating part of my year so far. I now know that i am not very good at any type of work that involves screwing or nailing something in.
It was so dreary and somber today, which is ironic, because thats kinda the way i felt all day.
hopefully i'll get finished in time to get some sleep.
Song today is Lonely Day by System of a Down. Check it out.

Hopefully Foolish
The title of this blog is how i am currently feeling. Unfortunately, for some reason i have no way to express this feeling except for those two words.
I found something out this morning. If i hit the snooze button on my alarm clock more than 3 times, it shuts itself off. On accident, i set my alarm to go off at 4:30 instead of 4:45 (my clock is a dialogue, not digital). So i figured, i'd hit it a few times and and get up at 4:45, but i ended up dozing till 5:15, and then having to rush to get to the bus stop.
For some reason, i was in one of my hopeless romantic moods and all i listened to on the bus ride was Avril Lavigne and Kelly Clarkson, plus Torn by Natalie Umbruglia. Wow, i didn't realize how dorky that sounded till i typed it. But thats me, a total dork all the time.
The morning was saved, however by the beautiful sunrise. It was better than its been in a while. I'm watching the sunset right now, and god it's amazing. I love the twilight hours of the day. They are definitely the best times of the day, not to mention the most beautiful.
Anyways, school was a drag. I was so tired today. The insomnia strikes again. God i wish i could go to sleep when i want to. Practice today should've been easy, but was so hard cause i was sooo tired.
I still was able to finish with great kick. woo hoo.
After practice, i found that Luc had accidentally taken my bookbag home again. See, he drives me to practice everyday, and i leave my bag in his car during practice. He left before i had a chance to take it out, and i had to drive all the way to his house to get it.
Got home and my mom left with the rents and mi hermana to go to my sister's basketball game, so I'm here all alone. Currently watching Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, which is suprisingly better the second time round the first. Great movie. sigh
My dog is barking at me right now, to pet her. Shes so crazy. Thats her in the picture.
Wrapping it up. Theres so many things that didn't happen today its crazy. I ramble so much and never make any sense. This whole blog made no sense. I hate the way i feel right now.
The song today is Why Can't I by Liz Phair.

P.S.- Mrs. Harriman has got to be Ellen Degeneres long-lost twin sister. I mean seriously. The resemblance is scary. You cut her hair a little shorter, and she could pass for Ellen Degeneres.
Just putting it out there.
I found something out this morning. If i hit the snooze button on my alarm clock more than 3 times, it shuts itself off. On accident, i set my alarm to go off at 4:30 instead of 4:45 (my clock is a dialogue, not digital). So i figured, i'd hit it a few times and and get up at 4:45, but i ended up dozing till 5:15, and then having to rush to get to the bus stop.
For some reason, i was in one of my hopeless romantic moods and all i listened to on the bus ride was Avril Lavigne and Kelly Clarkson, plus Torn by Natalie Umbruglia. Wow, i didn't realize how dorky that sounded till i typed it. But thats me, a total dork all the time.
The morning was saved, however by the beautiful sunrise. It was better than its been in a while. I'm watching the sunset right now, and god it's amazing. I love the twilight hours of the day. They are definitely the best times of the day, not to mention the most beautiful.
Anyways, school was a drag. I was so tired today. The insomnia strikes again. God i wish i could go to sleep when i want to. Practice today should've been easy, but was so hard cause i was sooo tired.
I still was able to finish with great kick. woo hoo.
After practice, i found that Luc had accidentally taken my bookbag home again. See, he drives me to practice everyday, and i leave my bag in his car during practice. He left before i had a chance to take it out, and i had to drive all the way to his house to get it.

Evil Resident?
Today was pretty fun. When I say fun, i mean relaxing, for the most part. For some amazing reason, i was able to sleep till 9:02 this morning. This was a landmark moment. I don't know, for some strange reason, i am unable to sleep past 8:30 on days with no school. But today was some wonderful exception.
Anyways, i got up and watched Resident Evil, Apocalypse and Extinction with my uncle and dad.
Which brings me to the namesake of this blog. Last night my family and i were on my porch playing ping pong, when my dad said, why don't we watch that Evil Resident movie. My brother and i were laughing so hard, while my uncle explained the name of the movie was Resident Evil.
So we started watching it, and we got to the part where they are right in front of the labs that got filled with water. One of the men in the troop got up close to the glass, and then WHAM!, a body hits the glass for a classic scary moment, and my brother screams so loud that he puts that girl from X-men to shame.
Afterwards, i got my mom to drive me to home depot to pick up supplies for my engineering project. On the drive home, i was so tired that i zoned out for a few seconds and almost hit a mailbox! My mom nearly had a cardiac arrest. But i must be one crazy kid, cause when we got home i went running. I thought i was going to do pretty bad cause i was so tired, but i ended up doing a moderately good 34 minute 5 mile. I jumped in the pool when i got home, man was it cold! I got out just in time to watch the sunset over the trees behind my house, it was pretty beautiful.
The crazy thing is I felt more awake after i came back from my run. When i got back i made myself bagel bites for the 3rd straight night (i wonder if you could die from bagel bite poisoning), and am currently watching Weird Science.
Its interesting to note that i realized just how much of a dork i really am today. i realized this while i was singing the lyrics to Breakaway by Kelly Clarkson with my kid sister.
But anyways, i feel so inspired right now, because i just finished reading V's entire blog, and i was struck by his question, 'What Is Love?' At first i thought of that song, but then i started to think about what might be the true answer to this question. Nothing yet, but I'll be sure to get back to you on that.
Man this post was really long, but hopefully i can do that for all my posts.
Song of the day is Hanging by a Moment by Lifehouse, so sit back and listen to it, you might just feel inspired.
Hasta Luego!

Epiphany Be Damned
I know, I know, why am i making two posts in one day?
Well, thats due to 3 reasons.
1- There is still nothing to do
2- I'm making up for my missed blog Friday
and finally 3- I've had an amazing epiphany.
I realized just now what a blog is really for. I realized so suddenly and so profoundly that I had to act upon it right away. I even kicked my brother off the computer with lies of schoolwork needing to be finished.
Anyways, back to the matter at hand. I had a revelation at the reason for the blog, the reason why so many of us venture onto our computers late at night and type a few sentences that may never even be read.
It is the same quintessential reason that drives a little girls need for a diary. We, as people, as humans, need an emotional outlet. We need a place to pour our emotions, to empty our thoughts into.
Wow. That turned into a rambling rant that made no sense. I've gotta watch that.

Check out this cool pic i made in Photoshop!
Anyways, after reading this post I want to think of your favorite movie moment, comical or dramatic, and then listen to Dare You To Move by Switchfoot.
Bored Out of My Mind
Hello. Sorry for missing yesterday's post, things got a little hectic.
I am making this post today because there is simply nothing else to do. I have to do something, and I've been putting off making a post, so here goes:
Today I went to a car wash for the Relay for Life Cancer Society. It was a lot of fun, and we raised over 900$s! I got home around 3:00 and took a nap.
I'm kinda bummed cause i forgot to go running today, but thats okay cause it was a long week and my body needs a chance to recuperate. I ran a great workout yesterday. A real confidence booster. We did an 800-600-400-200, and the rest was jogging half of what you just ran. I hit 2:32, 1:43, 1:04, and finished with a 25 second 200! It felt great!
I'm glad to say that I've finished all HW for this weekend, except for my engineering project.
But anyways, I'm gonna wrap this up, because I'm going to go see if theres anything on the tv.
Bye

First Post!!!!
This is my first of (hopefully) many posts to come. I'm sitting in my sixth period Web Masters class, where most of my posts will probably be made.
I never really thought I would want to make a blog, but last night I checked out my friend's blog for the first time and he say I should do one, too.
I agreed, and since I'd already finished the class assignment, I decided to start a blog.
I'll try as best I can to keep regular posts, but sometimes i might forget or get too busy, so don't get mad at me.
Anyway, that's all for today since its my first post, and I wanna go mess with all my settings and I have to leave for lunch in 10 minutes.
Au revoir
