Mother mother ocean; I have heard your call

Man, today was the highpoint of my week so far. I am finally clear of the storm that was my yearly cold. There is still some minor tugs on my being, but for the most part, the cold has been eradicated.

So today was actually not that exciting besides that, although i got a 1500 plus on the sri, like i knew i would (ive gotten that for practically every one since the 6th grade), and i am glad that now i never have to take another one of those things again.

Tomorrow should be some fun, cause im going to a relay for life meeting after school, then over to Tia's house, and then to the athletic banquet for the close of the night. Although i sorta rushed through that, its bound to be better than the week has been so far. Then Friday after the academic awards ceremony (which ive already gotten three letters for; i mean really, don't you think thats a little overboard?), i will be going to the relay for life at Dan McCarty high school, and hopefully V will be there too.

Well, thats it for me today, cause im going to get back to watching 100 greatest one hit wonders on Vh1.

Angels Fall Without You There

AAAAHhhhhhhhh! This week has been soooooo stupid so far. I have had a really annoying cold for the past three days, and it reached it climax today. My cold in full swing, i was continuously under the onslaught of a horrible cough, a painful sneeze, and an on and off mind splitting headache. Today was a blur of emotions. Somehow, i was still able to somewhat function, although i practically slept through Spooner and Gieger.

I hope i get better by the end of the week, though, because thursday is the athletic awards banquet and friday is the Relay for Life thing that im doing. My mom says if im still sick then i cant go and that would be really stupid. But enough of that stuff, lets get on with the good parts of the day. Today i aced a quiz in Hueter, and my group in Mrs. Spooner's class managed to have the best translation of Shakespearre into modern text. Seeing as those are the high points of my day should tell you a little something about how my day went.

Well, with not much else to report on, i think im going to wrap this post up. Song today is Black Balloon by Goo Goo Dolls.

Buena noche!

We'll Scream At The Top Of Our Lungs, They'll Think It's Just Cause We're Young And We'll Feel So Alive

Well, today was weird. First of all, i only got like three hours of sleep last night thanx to my killer headache induced by my yearly cold. See, i only get sick once a year, and these past few days seem to be it. But what was strange was that i felt totally awake and responsive all morning. Weird, huh? Well, aside from that the whole went pretty smoothly, although it was pretty strange going home on the bus instead of going to practice. Oh well, only 26 days left of school.

All that aside, im going to bring this post to an ubrupt close because i have some chores i need to finish up.

Seeya.

Now I'm Rolling With My Windows Down, I Love The Wind But I Hate The Sound

Today was just another boring sunday was yet another in a long list of the boring sundays in my life. I sorta did nothing all day except mow the lawn. It felt good, realizing that now i had nothing to do today, nothing to worry about. Hopefully ill have these feelings for the next few weeks as well, especially going into the end of this school year. On that note, I can't believe that its already May. I mean my gosh, where did the time go? Seems like only yesterday i was making my New Years Resolution, one that ive already failed to live up to.

I think im going to end my post on that note, especially since i was just struck with killer headache. Song today is like whoa by Alli and Aj.

Peace.

I Don't Wanna Be Anything Other Than What I've Been Trying To Be Lately

Well, it has been quite the interesting couple of days as of late. Friday was a letdown, mostly because of the days somewhat boring activities, and partly due to my own...tribulations. I did end up being put in the trivia by Melissa last minute, and i actually answered 4 questions correctly, and would've gotten two more if i had been faster on the trigger. The rest of the schoolday went by uneventfully, and i went over to Lucas' house. We watched a few South Parks, had some smoothies, and then made our way to the Civic Center to go to Winter Park for the State Meet. It was a long ride because the other coach messed up the directions and we ended up driving around in circles in Orlando for an hour, but that's neither here nor there (i love that phrase but im not quite sure its applicable here, oh well). Our apartment was amazazing. It had a full walk in kitchen, complete with a dishwasher, oven, toaster, and microwave; plus it had pots, pans and silver ware. They also put the breakers for the room right there in the living room so we were messing with them for awhile, and turned off the hot water while Lucas was taking a shower.

This morning went by like your dreams blur after you wash the finer details away with the wonderful morning shower. We ran at 1:45. I was sooo nervous, especially when Lucas ran a 2:02 and still handed me the baton in last place. I had so much pent up anxiety that i went crazy the first lap and ran a 57. It went pretty bad after that. I ended up running a 2:05, which isnt horrible but it isn't what i should've run. We ended up getting sixth in our heat, and eighth overall. We also ran a team best by 7 seconds. After we went home, and i took somewhat of a nap, and then at around 6 i went with my mom to borders to get the final book in the trilogy ive been reading, The Midnighters.

I had black bean chicken tonight, which is the first time in what feels like ages. Im kinda glad track is over. Everything was becoming so hectic and weird, and now i can just relax the rest of the year. Song today is I Dont Wanna Be by Gavin Degraw.

Good Night everyone (or more like, good night Kim, Alex, V, Tyler, and Billy).

Follow The Lines And Wonder Why Theres No Connection

Well, its just another Thursday in my life. Wake up, shave, shower, eat my eggos. School all day, sucking the energy out of me. Practice, where i practice the long felt tradition of making yourself hurt for a few miles at a time. Home, to my humble aboad in which i sit and try to pass the time till the new day comes. The Office will be on tonight, which i will almost definitely watch, and i must also pack for the trip ahead of me, one which will hopefully lead to the victory lane in my struggles.

This week in our school has been spirit week. And yet i feel not spirited or cheerful in these last few days but i am only left with sense of exhaustion and the somber feeling of detachedness. I feel as now the year is coming to its rapid end, and i have nothing to show for it. Sure, ive made a few friends, and ive had some great memories, but in the end i look at this year and i feel as though it could've been so much better. Pensive sigh.

Well, im going to stop being a total downer now, and finish up this post.

Au revoir

Im Torn Between This Life I Lead And Where I Stand

Well, i wanna type a little tonight, basically because tonight has been very uneventful, just me sitting at home with noone else here but me and my lonesome. Not that im complaining, i do enjoy some nice alone with my often annoying siblings out of the house. I spent a lot of time just watching tv (and failing to find something good to watch), and on the computer too.

Today was pretty slow. In first period however, Mrs. Lugo proved just how crazy she was. On the slip of paper she handed out that described our projects, she said she wanted either a 2D or a 3D representation of our topic. So when Kiki comes to the front and starts presenting on her project which she drew a picture for, Mrs. Lugo tells her that she didn't want a picture. But then kiki said that the sheet asked for a 2D or 3D representation, and kiki gave a 2D representation. But Mrs. Lugo, making no sense like usual said a picture isnt 2 dimensional, it has to be raised up a little bit. I used to find it funny, but its been almost 30 weeks of this nonsense and im just about done with it, although it was hilarious to watch.

Besides that nothing much happened, although i realized with Mrs. Reynen its hit or miss. She either finds something that you say funny or she doesnt, and you can never really tell which its going to be. She told off Kevin Yepes today for that very reason. Not that this isn't really funny, its just very interesting to note.

Well, ima wrap this one up. Song today is Let Me Go by Three Doors Down.

buh bye.

Well, today is a very nonchalant post. I wanna go to bed, not really type so much, so ima go to bed, and not type so much.

Pink Champagne On Ice, And She Said, We Are All Just Prisoners Here, Of Our Own Device

Ahhhh! Monday! Good thing there isn't that many of them left. Whew, i cant wait untill summer, although today completely felt like summer. 93 degrees with a heat index that got close to the triple digits. Thats the Florida we know coming back to us. The glaring sun beating down on you, with the wind slowly blowing hot musty air across your face, while you sweat profusely in places you didn't even think you could. Thats Florida all right.

Anyways, today was a day of much catching up. Gladly enough, with some great damage control, i only had to do an hour and a half of homework tonight. Wierd, i just used 'an hour and a half of homework' and 'only' in the same sentence. I better watch that.

Well, ima wrap things up today. Talk to ya tomorrow y'all. Song today is Hotel California, a song which to this very day creeps me out and fascinates me at the same time.

Buh-Bye.

He Was A Boy, She Was A Girl, Can I Make It Any More Obvious?

Well, just a really boring, lazy sunday for me today. Woke up at around 9, and sortave did nothing until 2 o clock when i made myself do my spanish powerpoint. I spent an hour and a half, i think its pretty good.

Then i did my Brazee essay, and then out the door for a nice 4 miler to clear my head. Up untill right now ive been doing a mixture of playing video games and watching tv. Ill probably go to bed soon, although i doubt ill be actually be sleeping till much later.

Good bye for now. Try and figure out the song yourself.

You Held Your Breathe, And The Door For Me

Well, im sorry i didnt post last night. It was actually today when i got home (around 1:00 in the morning), and i was really tired and wanted sleep, so sleep i got.

Yesterday was a really lazy just sortave sit around and do nothing day. Probably should've started the gigantor load of homework i have, but oh well. At 5:00 (after eating a really juicy steak), i went to my sister's basketball tryouts, and from there to her teammate Kailyn's house for dinner and such. We ended up playing pictionary into the wee hours of the night, and eventually morning. I am glad to say that our team won!

Then this morning, after waking up with six hours sleep and a long shower to wash the exhaustion off me, i went to a car wash for Relay for Life. It was fun, and we raised 300 dollars. We wanted to get more, but there were two other car washes down the road, so we didn't get as much as last time. Then we went back to tia's house, where me and another kid, Taylor, jumped in her freezing cold pool on a dare. It mind numbingly cold (which i guess would be actually good?). Then we quickly hopped on down to Jupiter to watch my little sis' basketball tourney. It was really funny, because this little girl walked up to the line, and got ready for her free throws, and she shot the first one and missed. But then, after talking with a teammate, she shot the next shot granny style, and like it was right out of a doug rerun, it went in.

Afterwards we went to Outback for dinner (again, i had a nice tender steak), and we just got home again very late and very tired about thirty minutes ago. But anyways, i will bore you no further, as i will proceed to wrap this up. Song today is Head Over Heels by Alanis Morrisette.

So go.

I Don't Even Know You, You Wont Even Know Im Gone

Well, what a day. It started out pretty bad in, of course spanish class. I swear, that is the only class i dont enjoy being in. Although sometimes algebra gets close, cause mrs. reynen seems to have this big funsucker machine, and she uses it to suck the fun, and the comfortability right out of the room. Anyways, back to today. After that nightmare, i headed over to luc's car, and then we both proceeded to the civic center to wait for the bus.

Fast forward. Play. Now we're at the running of the 4X800 meter relay. Lucas starts off first leg and does an admirable job, and when i got the baton, we were in third place by about two seconds. Then the first lap i didn't make up any ground, and the first turn of the second i still wasn't going anywhere, but finally the kid in second started to come back to me, and then suddenly we were on the final turn and i was in first and pulling away. I ran a pr of 2:03 flat, and we were in first. Then timmy held onto the lead his entire leg, not relinquishing anything, that is, until his legs gave out on him and he fell at the finish line. Our anchor leg had to come back, pick up the baton, and then take off. After it was all said and done, we finished fourth. But we're still going to states!

Fast forward. Play. Now we're watching a movie, Street Kings with keanu reeves, forrest whittaker, hugh laurie, and a whole buncha people that when you see them in a movie, you go "hey", i know that guy (or girl). Then we promptly headed back to the track.

Fast forward. Play. Slow Motion. Okay, so a little recap first. Im running in the open 800 meter (the slower of two heats), and i started out the first lap in no lie last place, cause everyone went out soooo fast. Then i started reeling them in, and now here i am, 50 meters to go, and i have one guy left to pass, and i see hes dying. I put on a little extra burst of speed, lean at the line, and take the race cleanly by almost half a second. I ended up sixth overall.

Stop.

I Can Be So Insincere

Well, just filler basically today. Nothing really of note happened today, although there is the fantastic story of the life and even more theatrical death of a paper airplane, and the fact that one of the Cinco De Amigos may be in dire trouble. Other than that, really nothing happened. I might go into the paper airplane story later, but for now the point is moot. Its late but kinda early, and i think i wanna get a good night's rest. Too bad i was lazy and didn't work on Brazee's essay. Oh well.

Seeya!

I Wont Go Home Without You

Well, just another monday. The only thing thats different about this monday is that its my sixtieth post! Woooh Hooo! Approximately sixty days ago, i started doing a blog, and have done a pretty good job of keeping up with it. This blog has brought many changes in my life, many insights about myself and others that i will always have with me. If it hadnt been for my keeping a blog, i know my life would be very different right now.

All that sappy stuff aside, today was really ordinary. Just skated by without really paying attention to anything. At practice, we did "broken 800's". Thats where you run an 500, then a 300 after a 2 minute break. We had to do them at 60 second 400 pace, but the first 500 was slow (we hit 1:18 instead of 1:15). But the rest of the workout was right on pace, and the second set i did really good, so im really confident going into regionals on thursday. Right now im seeded eighth in the region right now, and i need to finish in the top four to advance to states. Cross your fingers!

Gosh, i hate when teachers assign busy work that takes a long time to accomplish. For instance, We're learning quadratic equations in Algebra, and its really easy. But Mrs. Reynen had to go an assign homework thats not hard, but extremely time-consuming. It took me and hour!

Anyways....i gotta get going now. Song today is Wont Go Home Without You by Maroon 5.

Give Me Something To Believe, Im Living Just To Breathe

Hello everyone, or maybe just the select few who read this blog (not because they've been selected, just because they are the only ones who care to read it). Today looked like it was just going to be another boring, lazy sunday. That is until....i decided i wanted to go do something. I called V up and asked him if he i could come over his house after he was done fund raising for TSA. He said yes, and off i was to the Wal-Mart on US1. I got there and V, Eilene, and Kim were just talking and such, and then V told me he wanted a drink from the vending machine, so i went over to see if i could work some magic....or something. I just started hitting the buttons on all of the machines, and suddenly one popped out a soda! It was amazing and weird at the same time.

Then we went to V's house and we went outside and caught some frogs, and then V suggested we go for a bike ride when i told him i was getting antsy, so we did. Only,..he biked and i walked. It was a pretty good run, including the end in which i tried to beat him home (i lost miserably). Then we tried some handstands, and V gave me a quick tour of how he performed his midnight escapade a few nights ago.

Afterwards, we ate some dinner. I always like eating at V's house, cause his mom always cooks really good food, which i usually never eat at home. Afterwards we went to his room, listened to some music on the Mplayer, watched some videos, and then went outside to admire the b-e-a-utiful day it was. V challenged me to a paper airplane contest, and of course i won with my classic jet plane configuration to his harrier design. Then we got reeeeaally bored and just started rolling a ball back and forth down the hall. But we got an idea, and tied a hoola hoop to a light so it hung just above the ground, and put some empty bottles at the end of the hallway, and we tried to do some bowling. Unfortunately, thats exactly when my mom showed up.

I didnt do any homework this weekend, which will probably come back to bite me in the behind, but oh well. Song today is a new one by The Bravery, "Believe".

I Look At You With Such Disdain

Well, it has been a hectic couple of days, of which i havent been posting. This is due to my laziness, and my exhaustion that past two days. On thursday we had our District meet, and thanks to that i was able to get out of school right after first period. Our 4X800 team won easily, and then i also competed in the open 800 meter. I finished fourth, with a pr of 2:03 and a dramatic fall-over-the-finish-line- finish. My legs just gave out on me at the end of the race and with five feet to go i stumbled and fell on the track. It hurt a little. I scraped my knee, got a nasty rasberry on my thigh, and scrape on my back. Im still a little sore. But it doesnt matter, because i qualified for Regionals for my efforts! Hopefully i can do as well next week.

I was tired all day friday, mostly because we got home late from the meet the night previous, and i got very little sleep. However, now that i come to think of it, that isnt too different from every night. Im quite proud of the fact that was able to study for a quiz in spanish (which i aced), did spooners homework, transferred mr. brazee's political cartoon to a fresh sheet of paper, all in first period! Then the rest of the day went pretty smoothly. Oh, in Algebra we got to eat while we our test. it was awesome, cause i got to enjoy cupcakes and sprite.

Then after school Luc, Tim, Josh, David and Ebanks all came over my house to watch the office and scrubs. We ended up playing basketball out front after.

Then i went to sleep, forgot to post again, and then woke up this morning at eleven, which was kinda nice. At around 3 in the afternoon i went with my family to Palm Bay to visit some family whose in town from Texas. It was pretty fun, and we all ended up watching Bruce Almighty (such a good movie). After like a million pictures and even more good byes, we drove home. Right now i am thoroughly angry at myself. I just wish i could be more decisive about things than over thinking them like i always do. I wish i could just do something for once, with no thought or care, just do it. Oh well, before i start to sound too much like a nike commercial, ima call it a wrap. Song today is It Ends Tonight by All American Rejects.

Thanks For Watching As I Fall

Well, just another tuesday, in a long line of tuesdays that make up my life. This one had very little to report, so i guess i wont write much.

Well, nothing much to say about today. At practice we ran a light 3 miles around the villages, around 21 minutes. Thats really scary to type, just realizing how good of shape im in, its mind boggling. At the beginning of Cross country this year, i could barely even run a 21 minute 3 mile, now im clipping days off like that and not even breaking a sweat. Tomorrow will probably even lighter in preparation for the meet. Maybe some light 200's, get the legs feeling a fast pace, then done till Districts.

Well, tonite i was feeling antsy, so i decided to do a half mile to see what i had in the tank. It was so just on the moment that i got up and decided to walk out the door and as soon as my foot hit asphalt i was off at something like 60 second pace (or 15 miles per hour). I slowed a little bit, went by the quarter at 64, and then tried to pick it up a little. I ended up finishing at 2:09, which made me somewhat happy. Even happier when i realized that didn't even make me tired. I mean, i was breathing hard, and my body was a little shocked at the speed it just ran, but aside from that, all good.

Well, thats it for me for today. Song today is My Happy Ending by Avril Lavigne.

Hasta luego!

I Promise I Might, And I Walk On By; Maybe Next Time, But Not This Time

So it was a do-nothing monday, cause i felt like doing nothing. But unfortunately, i had to go to school. No more waking up at 9:00, cause know i must reenter the stupid tradition of awaking at 5:00 to catch the bus.

Today was pretty slow, and even more boring. Thats okay though, because its over now. I can't wait for our district meet on Thursday! Im running the 4X800 (we're currently ranked fourth in the state for 2A) and the open 800. I know we'll qualify for 4X800 (you have to finish in the top four to qualify for regionals), and im almost definite ill qualify in the open 800. The catch is that even if i qualify, i have to run a fast time or i wont be in the fast heat at regionals, which will pretty much guarantee i wont make it to states. If i get into the fast heat however, i will have a slim chance.

Nothing much happened tonight, and i feel like the weight of the world is on my shoulders, but is being balanced off by my ambitions and dreams, if that makes sense. Song today I One Thing by Finger Eleven.

Good night and dont let the bed bugs bite :)

But I'm Thinking It Over Anyways

Wellllll, what a couple of days i have had over the past few days. If you read my previous post, you would already know that i've been in Gainesville for the past few days at the Florida Relays.

On Thursday we left on the incredibly boring 4 hour journey to central Florida. We got there around 6 O' clock, and went up to our rooms. Then the girls left for dinner early, and we decided it was time to play a few pranks. See, coach had one of the keys to their room. So we went in, flipped their beds, turned the tv upside down, took all the toilet paper, soap, and shampoo; then we stacked a few cups of water on their bathroom door so when they opened it water fell on them. We did a pretty good job. Next Tim, Lucas and I went over Jeff's house and we all went for a run. It was a scenic trail out in the open land outside of gainesville. It was beautiful. Afterwards we went to dinner at TGI Fridays, and afterwards we went back to the hotel.

On Friday we had to get up early to go to watch Andrew do the Long jump. Afterwards we went over Jeff's house and to kill some time, then at around one we went back to the track to watch Andrew do the 110 hurdles. He finished second out of about 60 kids. After that we all went back to the hotel and played some halo and took a nap. Then we to Olive Garden for dinner, and then back to the hotel again.

On saturday, we again woke up early, checked out, and went to the track to watch Andrew do the triple jump. After that we went to the mall. We hung out, had Subway, and then went to jeffs house to relax until our race. Then a few short hours later it was race time. I ran a pr (personal record) of 2:04 for my leg in the 4X800, and we finished eighth overall out of 63 teams. Then we hunkered down while it poured out and the races were delayed for an hour before they finally cancelled the rest of the meet. Then we ate dinner at Mickey D's, and started home.

After gettin back at around one in the morning, i fell right asleep when i got home, very glad to be home and in my own bed. Then i had to wake up at ten to go to brunch to celebrate my omagh's (i don't know if thats how you spell it) birthday. Shes my grandma on my mom's side, and she turned 70 today. We went to this little German eatery on the intersection of Westmoreland and PSL blvd., where the mickey d's is. I had the best French toast ive had in awhile, and soon we were back home, and i was working on my spanish packet that i refrained from doing all break till last minute. But i finished it really quick, the whole thing in less than an hour. And i didn't find out till later talking with Sam that i only had to do the first half. Oh well.

Well, i haves to go now, so i leave you with a good bye and a good night. Song today is Barely Breathing by Duncan Sheik.

Moons and Junes and Ferris Wheels; The Dizzy Dancin Way You Feel

Well, what a couple of days i have ahead of me. Today I leave for Gainesville for the Florida Relays. Its a really big meet. It draws from schools all over the country. I myself am going to run the 4X800 meter relay. Lets hope I do good.

Yesterday was really just nothing. I did nothing basically but sit on my butt and play video games. At around 2:30 i went to skyline with Lucas and Jamal (other kids on the 4X800, timmy wasn't there), and we did a workout. For those of you that don't know what skyline is, it a long stretch of road with a lot of hills, big hills. First we did a two mile warm-up around and on top of the hills. Then we traveled to a track close by and did 12 "cruise" 200's. Thats where you run an 200 nice and easy, at like 32-34 seconds, and then jog a 200. We did that 12 times. Then we went back to the biggest hill and did 5 "hill"s. Thats where you start at the bottom and run full blast to the top, jog down and do it again, with no rest. It was hard, but it helps your footspeed.

Today i woke up at 9:00 again, and played video games until about thirty minutes ago, when i started packing and getting ready to leave. I probably won't be able to post while im away, so it probably won't be until Sunday when you'll hear from me again.

Also, on a closing note, Sam, you did stump me with you secret message. I was unable to find it. I tried for almost thirty minutes. Oh well. Song today is Both Sides Now by Judy Collins.

Like The Angel You Are The Laugh Creating A Lightness In My Chest

Well, today was a day of much thought and a lot of relaxation. I sortave just sat around all day and did nothing. At around 3:30 my mom and I went to Gamestop and i got Tony Hawks Underground and Enter the Matrix, all for less than ten dollars, it was a pretty good deal. Thats about all i did all day.

Oh, at like 8:00 i went for a run. It was very peaceful, i only encountered one dog, and it was on a chain (hallelujah). A good run always makes me feel so peaceful and calm, its almost...can i say...spiritual? All i know is that i am truly at peace with myself and everything around when im on my runs, and let me tell you, its a good feeling.

I just finished downloading a few songs that i used to have before my computer crashed a few years ago. I had a music library that was very impressive, counting almost 3,000 songs. Then all in one instant they were lost. It happened during the Hurricanes. Darn Francis and Jeanne! Well, since then ive been trying to reclaim all those lost songs that escape my memory at the moment. But ill hear them now and then on the radio, and think "oh yeah i really like this song", and get home and download it right away.

Well, i went into this post telling myself, i just wanna type a few lines and get it over with, but oh well, i guess this turned into a full blown post. I should be in bed right now since i have a hard run tomorrow at skyline in stuart, but i just can't go to sleep. Man i hate that. But you gotta love nights that turn into mornins don't ya? Well, ill sign off for now, even though sleep will probably not claim me for another hour or two. Song today is Like the angel by Rise Against.
