Just a quick post

Hey, I just wanted to post something quick, I'm trying to do this more often, for some reason. So, how yall doin'? Well, you can't answer, but I'll assume the best. Well, I've been good, life's good, can't complain. We didn't wrestle last week, not something I really should be happy about, but it was ok. And, for some reason, we got Monday off. It was the best MLK day I've ever had!!! I took full advantage of my 3 day weekend (in January!!!). Saturday me and the family met Memaw and Granddaddy at the World of Wheels car show. It was cool, there were some cars there that I would die for. After that, we all went to Monterrey, which is always nice. Then, Dad dropped Memaw and Granddaddy off, and Me and Mom stopped and got Celia so we could hang out a while. I love seeing her and that was a great way to end the day. Only, it didn't end the day (didn't see that coming, did you?), after dropping Celia back off at home, I ran up to my friend Alex's to spend the night. We had another "Sober Circle" meeting, don't worry about the name, it's a long story, and I haven't seen Nathan, the third member of the SC, in a while, so that was cool. Interesting talking to Nathan, I tell you, but I love that kid, no matter how much stupid stuff he does. Sunday, after about 5 hours of sleep and getting home at 2, I basically just chilled out and watched football. Sadly, I felt pretty bad and feel asleep on the couch, so I couldn't go with Celia to church this week (sorry 'bout that God). Monday, which I had off (in January! I normally have to wait till the off season in March to have those), we had our first SC field trip. We hit the mall first, just Me, Nathan, his girl friend Emily, whom I had only briefly met once, Celia :), who had never met those other two, and Alex, who also was meeting Emily for the first time. Girl Alex, Alex's girl couldn't come to that part because she was riding horses. That was fun, kinda pointless, but fun. Everyone who was meeting people got along great, so we'll probably do that again. Then, we went to Chinese, minus Nathan and Emily, with girl Alex to eat, then we killed some time at Target. After that, we went to see Yes Man with Nathan, who rejoined the group. That was a great movie by the way. Well, I just wanted to just post something short and Mom's finishing dinner, so I'll hit yall later. Hope yall are great till then!

I just need to write

Hey, I don't know why, but I've been in a goofy mood lately, so I'm tryin maybe to just talk to no one for a while and maybe it'll break me out of this. This post will probably take a few days to write, it may never be posted, idk, but it should help me vent, and that seems to work with others. Well, um, to start off, me week so far's been good. It's thursday right now, and i wrestled yesturday. That was a little dissapointing, we didn't wrestle till 9 after showing up at 5, and we only got one match, not 2 as we were promised. I won my match by I think 6. My kid was stubborn and the ref stunk, I got punched and he didn't call it, but I guess I can't complain. Plus, I got Monday off so I plan on spending it with my girl, my best friend, and the girl that got me and Celia together. I'm pretty stinkin pumped. My guitar hero drums came in!!! I had to send them off before the first of the year because one of the cymbals didn't work. I had to write a paper tonight, but I definetly plan on gettin' those babies out tomorrow! Um, I've been listening to my Christmas music lately. The Flyleaf CD is awesome, I defenitly recomend it. The new Shinedown's great, he's got a great voice, and the Three Days Grace is good to. I wasn't totally sure what to expect with that one, but it is cool. I bought the Kevin Rudolf CD, and it is awesome. He is an alternative, punkish rock guy on Lil' Wayne's Cash Money Records and the mix of his amazing guitar skills and the rap beats makes a great mix. Seriously, look it up, its great.

Ok, well, what chould I talk about now? Um, I've been thinking lately and noticed something, I'm facinated by human behavior. I mean think about it, is there anything we as people are so connected with yet have such little understanding about? We can't even explain our own actions. I talked with my friend Derek the other day, Derek is one of Los Patos for those of you 'in the know,' about his Psycology class, and I'm so pumped to take it next year. I've also started to make a small list of people I would love to talk with, and they all have specific reasons to catch my attention. Ok, this is gonna take a strange turn because it is now Friday night, and I'm stuck at home while all my friends are at the basketball game. I also want to take a second to describe the mood I'm in right now. Today, friday, the lunch had asian bites. For those of you not familiar with asian bites, they're the best things the school can possibly serve. And they used to be served on Tuesdays (sorry for the random capitalization of week days, I'm not sure if they're supposed to be capitalized, so I figure if I capitilize half of them, I'm garenteed to get half of 'em right). Well, being tuesday, I could always be safe in the knowledge that I could work them off before making wieght, and I could splurge on them a little. Well, at fridays, I can't always take that chance. However, I don't have to make wieght till next friday, so I enjoyed my lunch today. Then, I recieved the news that I don't have practise MLK day, so I'm going to Discover Mills and a movie (I might have mentioned that earlier, but I can't remember and I'm too lazy to check). Third, we just had pizza and cinnamon sticks from Papa Johns. So, for the first time, I had asian bites today, have a three day weekend staring at me, and am completely full of pizza and sweet, beutifully dellious breadsticks, and it's JANURARY! I normally have to wait untill March to be like that. Ok, sorry, well I've kind of lost interest in what ever it was I was talking about.
I'm so happy. Woah, the font changed, what the heck?!? All I did was press enter. Oh well, it's a nice change. Well, I just wanted all of yall to know that I'm living a pretty good life lately. I don't know why, and I can't say I'm always happy, my emotions are all jacked, but I have to say, life is treatin' me well. Things just seem to work out for me. It just seems like, although I'm busy and stuff can be pretty much a pain in the butt, wait, the font just changed. I'm serious, I'm not changing any thing, the font is just randomly changing. But anyway, I'm really digging my life and everything about it. Those who are close to me may know this, but I wouldn't trade anything if I had the chance. I always see others sturggling through life or dreading every morning, living only with the idea of getting through the day, not enjoying the day when it is here. Ok, well I've rambled enough, I feel pretty straight now, thanks for listening, even if you didn't. I'm glad to know yall care, take care.

The Pursuit of Happiness

Hey, how yall doin'? I know I ended my last blog, which i wrote ages ago, with "I'll talk to yall later." And it's a lot later. But i can explain. You see, after my last blog, I had the whole Christmas thing, and I didn't want to go on my computer much. And by the way, Christmas was great. It never fails to be the best time of the year. I love it. It's also funny that, although I loved everything I got, one of my favorite, most surprising gifts was a text book from the CIA (Culinary Institute of America) in my stocking. I literally teared up when I got it. Ok, to get back on track, after Christmas, my power cord to my laptop broke and I just got a new one today, so I'm just now able to blog again. Ok, well life is still as it was, I'm just trying to live with what I got. Celia's doing good. We hit three months tomorrow (Jan. 12) and I'm loving every minute of it. Wrestling still drags on. It's fun, just tiring. Its slightly depressing to think that, of all year, I've only gone home at the bell twice, once to get my license, and once to study for my LA exam, which I owned. Otherwise, I've had a sports-related obligation every day this year. That's an entire semester of staying after. I'm really starting to look forward to March, when I enter my 3 month vacation with only 2 days of loose football workouts a week. Most of the time, the bell's gonna ring, and, having learned to do most of my homework in school, I'm gonna have an entire afternoon free to do what ever it is I want to do. I'm so pumped. But, at the same time, I'm gonna miss the sports. It really is a terribly wonderful paradox. I always have something to look forward to.
However, all of this thinking to the future has me stuck in yet another attempt to define the world. I've been thinking, does it make me greedy or irresponsible to live, at least for now, to enjoy myself. Does it make me a lesser, irresponsible person to live for fun and enjoyment. Even as one ages and must take on the responsibility of others dependent on you for their very survival, aren't you living to enjoy yourself? No, of course not, you say. How could that be figured with all the sacrifices that must be made to provide a wonderful life for others? Well, I'm definitely not in a position to speak from any experience on this subject, but from what I see out of my parents and their actions, I have to figure that, although it is hard and you personally might not be doing what you want to do, don't you enjoy seeing the enjoyment that is brought forth from your sacrifice. I don't want to sound like a freak, but you show me someone who doesn't become happy watching a small child smile, and I'll show you someone who knows no happiness. You need other examples, I got 'em.
If any one of you out there has every practised a sport, you know that practises normally stink. It's no fun to have to go out there and work and review trivial things constantly. But, it has been discovered on many occasions, the feeling and enjoyment in winning that game knowing you've worked hard to get there far outweigh those with no effort tied into it. To be frank, I have decided to live the life I wish to live, I will live my life to the fullest and work to enjoy every minute of it. I feel that that's honestly a common goal among people, just it isn't commonly referred to. Greed and the idea of being characterised as greedy or selfish is a deep fear among people. But really, the idea of living for your own enjoyment isn't greed. As long as you keep the priorities in mind, it can be just the opposite. One just has to keep in mind, at least in my opinion, that helping others better enjoy life brings pleasure to yourself. Helping others always seem to help yourself, and that's probably a driving force behind some of the happiest, most successful people alive. Well, I'm gonna go eat Mexican food, sorry for making this a little long. Thanks to those who read this whole thing and can try to take it as it is. I'm not trying to be an all knowing person, I'm just trying to figure out my life when the world still has a little innocence. Many wise man have noted that the most honest and true observations have come from those the youngest. I'm just trying to help myself in the road ahead and, if i happen to hit on anything worth while, help those reading this. Ok, well now I'm really going, Ill try to post again soon. Until then, just try to enjoy yourself, I feel it'll help out in the end.
