Late
2004-08-06 04:08:09
Listening to music and wishing I could go to sleep right now. I must be an insomniac, I can NEVER get to sleep until it is way late for me to get a decent number of hours in. Even if I've had the most physical tiring day of my life this always happens. Oh well, school isn't here yet so sleeping in is still an option. (I hadn't slept in once this summer until the end of July, a nightmare let me tell you.)
Anyone out there collect swords? Not many people do I've noticed, which makes sense I suppose, after all a criminal is more likely to have a pistol than a knife which would make a sword next to useless. But still, I love to collect them. I prefer functional swords which for those of you who don't know what that is, means the sword is battle ready. Now why would I ever want a battle ready sword? I'm not sure either but I think it is way more badass to have one that is ready to kill than one that is just for show. It will be my first sword like that too so I'm excited.
I have two other swords that are for show, an basic longsword and a giant two hander, the blade is like five feet long. I also have a spear my good buddy bought for me in Africa. Made by a real African tribesman. Masai I think was the tribe. It is functional of course, but it isn't a sword which is what I'm really into, but hey it is still really cool to have a genuine spear.
Random subject change; do you like techno? If not why? To me techno has so much more variety than the more accepted genres of music like rock or rap. All those artists just seem to sing about the same stuff over and over, with just different lyrics and styles. Techno has over a hundred different genres! Imagine the variety there. There are so many different styles and they are being constantly being mixed together in different combinations by new artists. It never gets old to me.
I still do enjoy other types of music though. I'm a hopeless romantic so I like love songs, really gets me here ya know *points to heart*. Doesn't really help me in RL to be a romantic, but I am what I am and if other people aren't used to it or like it, their problem not mine. There's a lesson to be learned there. Never change yourself to fit what other people are looking for. Take it from me, it is hard to be different. And I don't mean like the punk rock counterculture thing, not goth either. Just being myself and not TRYING to be different makes the strangest kid around. But I enjoy it, I think I'm much better off for it and I expect it will pay off in my future.
Well I think I can finally manage to hit the sack now. Hope you enjoyed reading this, expect more over the course of the next year or so. -
WOOT

Its been forever. But here I am writing another journal. My "Chilluns" as I call the kids on my soccer team are awesome! We are 3-0 so far and we've dominated everyone. We just won another game today, 5 - 2. I must be doing SOMETHING right to keep them from losing. At least they aren't getting worse.
School is still gay. It has continued to be gay since the last time I wrote about its gayness and as far as I can tell it gets gayer still. The Student Teachers (College Students) who I hang out with during my 5th period class tell me this and I can't help but believe them. I mean what could be so horrible that it drives a person to WANT to be a TEACHER in OREGON. (That's about the worst job to have in Oregon at this time. Low pay, lots of hours, not many openings because positions are being cut all the time to save money.)
Also. My friend that moved away to Colorado last year is visiting again in about two weeks. That is so cool. One of my best buds last year, I hope he hasn't forgotten me. That would be depressing. But then again he isn't the type of guy to do that so I'm probably just worrying over nothing.
Been reviewing lots of vids lately. I don't know why but I enjoy it. Hopefully I'll be one of the most useful ppl on the site someday. Somebody people would recognize. That would be awesome. I just gotta type an essay for each review and with so many vids to review I can only manage a couple hundred worse a piece. Oh well, maybe I'll slow down sometime.
Time to go though. I've got a take home math test I need to get to. Surprisingly enough, it's a TAKE HOME TEST and I STILL don't know what's going on. Gotta find help. Peace out all. -
I'm a coach.....................crap.................wtf do I do now?
2004-03-30 22:31:17
Crap, I'm not sure what I was thinking, but I signed up to be a 5th and 6th grade indoor soccer coach. I have never coached before......not soccer anyways and I've never been an official "coach". Just the thought of my little chilluns calling me Coach makes me all........I dunno excited actually. It sounds like so much fun.
Of course now there is all the technical junk to it. I just called all my kids. Told them we have practice tomorrow. Although a bunch of them have Awanas (little kid's youth group) tomorrow, I'm going to have to figure out a different practice schedules for each week to work around track meets AND youth groups and lord know's what else.
Plus I gotta come up with drills for them to do, plays, I have to get them all into the right positions, teach them the tricks of indoor soccer.........am I cut out for all of this? I hope so. I have so much on my schedule now, its ridiculous. Soccer, Indoor Soccer, Track, Coaching Indoor Soccer, School, Key Club, and everything else I left out. Woohoo for me. Lets see if I can juggle all of this into any given 24 hour day. And if worse comes to worse..........who needs sleep anyway huh?
Well that is all I've got for now, HW calls, dinner calls much louder, and video games call even louder so I'm off. Peace out. -
Lazy
2004-03-28 22:08:30
Man I'm getting lazy with my journal entries. I'm gonna do this one pretty quick because dinner is ready and I should be at the table. I suppose I could wait until after dinner, but then I'd probably lose the drive to write a journal entry so here I am typing as fast as I possibly can in hopes of making something worthy of reading.
I went snowboarding over this spring break. I'm getting better and I can actually do some decent tricks without making myself look like an idiot. I'm still having trouble with my spins though. I can never seem to get the full rotation that I want. Oh well, more practice in that area is called for.
This is kinda fun typing as fast as I can while my parents yell at me to get upstairs for dinner. I'm not sure why either. I'm in a strange mood I guess. Sometimes I look back at some of the stuff I just wrote (like I am right now) and I can't but think I'm a strange kid. I don't write at all like I talk so there is hope though.
Hmm food is sounding pretty good now so I'll end things here. Maybe I can dredge up the energy from somewhere to get another journal entry off after dinner about my spring break in detail. Peace out. -
Ow My Head
2004-03-14 02:10:26
Today I went snowboarding. That was loads of fun. I'm getting so much better at taking jumps, landing, and just about everything in general. I finally mastered my spins today. Well, 180's but it is a start. And to all of you uber boarders if any of you read this, we all gotta start somewhere so don't make fun of me. I also tried a blackflip. Not the smartest thing I've ever done. I ended up landing on my head twice and now I have a concussion. How cool is that? It doesn't hurt really, I'm just tired and feel a lil sick. Although I also did something to my sternum. It hurts to breath deep or laugh and I'm not sure why. My knee also started swelling up on me for some reason, probably repeated impacts or somesuch junk.............man I'm just beat to hell now that I look at it. I need to slow down.
Hmmm, now I'm going to relate to all of you a situation of mine that has been bugging me a lot lately. It has to do with girls. Of course, what else could be bothering a high school guy? I'm sad because all the girls I'd like to go out with are either taken or not interested. How do I go about making myself look like a guy that they would want to be with? I just can't seem to figure it out. I'm a good "friend" one of those people they always come to with problems and stuff like that. But nobody really gives me a chance when it comes to the whole dating thing. And I know I don't need a girlfriend, but it would be nice to feel kinda special to someone other than my family or regular friends for once. What really sucks about all this is that everyone who reads this will probably be able to relate somewhat and they each will have a different opinion on it and it all basically boils down to me having to figure it out for myself. Man I hate it when I start talking about stuff like this and then realize right when I get done typing it all out what the answer to my problem is.
I'm listening to a good song now. Its a good Trance song from an artist that I wouldn't exactly call a Trance artist. Dj Mangoo - Before The Start. The last six minutes of this song are very soothing. Maybe that is why Trance is my favorite genre of music. It is like a drug for me. I feel so, serene when I listen to it. Philisophical and even Introspective at times. Which doesn't happen too often. (The introspective part, I pride myself on being quite the philosopher amongst my peers)
Well that is all I've got for now. Take it easy all. Peace.
