TRACK

Ever since winter track i have been working my but off so that i could get a spot on the varsity 4x400 relay team. My time and hard work might actually pay off. After pulling off a 57.4 sec 400, i feel that i have earned my spot on the varsity 4x400. I might take my friends spot who runs a 58 sec 400. although .6 seconds doesn't seem very long, it is a huge difference in a sprint like the 400. hopefully i could break 57 sec at my next meet. If that happens then i would be a shoe in for the varsity 4x400 team. Even though the 400 is probably the hardest race, its the only race i'm good at so i have to kill myself each and everyday in order to get the sacred spot. Hard work here i come

A Time Eternal

Sometimes (not often, but sometimes) I think about what's out there. Like, in outer space, as can be seen in the above image. I tried finding a scene from Wall-E, but I couldn't find it, so this will have to do. Sometimes I wonder what it's like out there. I'll see movies, I'll see pictures/art like this, and the rest are just thoughts and images my mind decides to create. But what's it really like?

Let's say I were to go to... that planet in the middle. Would it be a paradise, filled with lush green forests, and friendly natives to boot? Or would I be able to view a majestic panorama dominated by those fluffy white clouds, all the while plummeting towards the center of the planet due to the lack of solid ground? Or, would I find giant blue-skinned people three times my height, who, apparently, ride horses by linking their strange hair-things together?



That stuff's nice and all to daydream and think about, but one thing I always wondered is exactly how long those planet's have been out there. Every now and then in U.S. History class, I'll think, "Man, America was populated by the Europeans around the mid-15th century, or something. Europe's been populated over 1500 years before that." Not really sure why, but I think that that's pretty weird. I always feel that the USA is such a strong, influential nation, when it's not even a half as old almost every single other one we share Earth with. So, what about Earth? I mean, according to the speculation of Earth's scientists, Earth's pretty damn young. (I'm not going to bother looking this up, since I don't know exactly what to look for on google. Most of my searches turned up irrelevant information relative to what I'm looking for.)

I've probably lost a few people from boredom by now...

Earth itself is several billion years old (approximately 4.5 billion, to be "exact"). To give you a rough idea, if I recall correctly from the Earth Science Reference Table, humans appeared around 1.1 million years ago. Rounded to the nearest million, that's 4.499 billion years of no humans. And, like I said before, Earth's young.

What do you think's out there? We've come this far in such a (relatively speaking) small amount of time. I don't know why, but I think that something enigmatic lies out there. So enigmatic, I'm going to describe it with multiple adjectives. Magical. Arcane. Majestic. Grand. Magnificent. Let's shy away from that morbid and creepy Aliens vs. Predator stuff.

Death of A Salesman

Today we watched the end of Death Of A Salesman in class. I kept thinking about the last question on the quiz while watching it. Did Willy die the death of a salesman? my answer was no. I did not think he died an honest death and he died at the low point of his life. In Willys eyes, killing himself is almost noble; people from all over will attend the funeral and once and for all Biff will see what a respectable man his father was, we know that this never came to be.

"Why can't you beat me? Because you don't have enough..."

"Hatred."

And it will get us places, won't it?!

Unrequited Love

Pains of love be sweeter far

Than any other pleasures are.

Love is sometimes denied,

Sometimes lost,

Sometimes unrecognized,

But in the end,

Always found with no regrets,

Forever valued and kept treasured.

The most painful love there is,

Is the love left unshown,

A love that cannot be expressed,

Affection left unknown,

The love that withholds touching,

Afraid of what it would say,

And the most painful thing about unexpressed love is…

It never fades away.

Love does not die easily.

It is a living thing,

It thrives in the face of all life’s hazards,

Save one-neglect.

What we have once enjoyed,

We can never lose.

All that we lose deeply becomes a part of us.

What is life,

When wanting love?

Night without a morning:

Love’s the cloudless summer sun,

Nature gay adorning.

Women still remember the first kiss,

After men have forgotten the last.

A man snatches the first kiss,

Pleads for the second, demands the third,

Takes the fourth, accepts the fifth,

And endures all the rest.

Kisses kisses kept are wasted;

Love is to be tasted.

There are some you love, I know;

Be not loathe to tell them so.

Lips go dry and eyes grow wet,

Waiting to be warmly met.

Keep them not waiting yet;

Kisses kept are wasted.

These are some quotes that I found that I really liked. So what I did was that I put the quotes all together to make them into one big poem.

What to do...?

What should i do at this moment. I can continue writing as I am now or i can conclude this entry with a swift farewell. Perhaps I should continue until I am exhausted to think. Perhaps I should take a break and read several other entries posted by other bloggers. Well, good-bye since I have found an interesting entry dated on most likely a Sunday at 10:34 PM.
.......
.........
... Well, I'm back! The entry was quite of an interest from the beginning and to the end. Because I spent more than two minutes reading it, my eyes have closed and am beginning to unconsciously scroll my mouse towards the sign out link and thus end this narration of my thoughts. Dear this posting page, I say farewell.

Thinking

What is thinking?

Is thinking wondering about something?

How about thinking about thinking?

Is daydreaming thinking?

How about thinking about daydreaming?

WHAT IS THINKING?

Who knows...but it sure makes you think.

Dana Levine's--Write Now.

Your the boss of an organization that sells widgets. a long time employee that has been loyal but never partially successful asks you for your help he cant afford to retire and he'd like an easier schedule an a little more pay what would you do?

It depends on who the person is and what his/her situation is. If its a liable reason of why he/she needs less hours and more pay that can be worked out. But if their just lazy and wants more pay with less hours then no.

By Jenny perez smile

whether the moment is good or bAd I wakeup everymorning
and realize I live an incredibly blessed life
smile because life is too short to be pissed off all the time.
Everyday I get to be surrounded by good people who make my life a better place.
If you have positive people in your life and you think positive,
no matter the gain you exclude the negative. You should be happy and smile. It's simple.

I _pologiz_ for _ny b_d gr_mm_r

For my blog post, I’m going to try to write only with the following vowels: E I O (Y). It is will need lots of time to finish, however, it won’t be terrible. The worst thing is simply missing methods of writing down specific words. This will yield some odd, weird to listen to lines. If I need to write the word for “the red edible object with one stem, which grows on trees”, I need to write things like the one recently seen by someone who might be looking in the direction of this writing. Nonetheless, I know this is something I will enjoy doing (possibly not). However, I did write this over three periods of ninety-ten seconds nonstop. I might simply be writing slow (or not); either possibility, I find this is needing lots of time. So, this will be stopped right here.

(This is actually really time consuming (or maybe it's just me).)

Craziness

So today my best friend came to my house with a new dog...that his parents didn't know he bought. It was a cute little bulldog and we were both really excited to have him; however when we got to his house hell broke loose. First his parents thought it was my sisters dog and when I finally convinced them that it wasn't they thought we were puppy sitting the dog. Then when we showed them his papers and they realized my friend really bought the dog they FLIPPED out. I was afraid his mom was going to have a heart attack. Anyways we ended having the dog for about 20 minutes and then we returned him to his original owners. We're going to miss you Hercules :(

I get a headache

I eat breakfeast

I wait for the bus in the cold

I take the bus

I get off the bus

I get some homework

Then I get another headache then the bell rings and off I go

Then everything speeds up until lunch

Then I eat

Then the bell rings then I go to class

Then evrything is in slowmo then eventually the bell rings and i'm free

A True Friend

A friend who helps me out when I'm in trouble is a true friend. Unlike others who disappear when trouble arises. A true friend is one of the most important things in my life. Although I have a lot of friends, I only have very few true friends that I can share pain with. It doesn't matter how they look like, or what they are. They have to be good and reliable. I think they are the best people in the world. if they are attractive and sensitive it will be ever better! However, even if they don't have characters like this. Everyone has features which is unique only to him or her. I'm pretty sure if we treat people nicely. We will have more and better friends, and this world will be better. =)

Time

T-he flap of a bird's wings

I-t moves too fast

C-an it go any slower?

K-eeping an eye on the clock

T-ime is a second

O-r it is forever

C-almly putting the good to rest

K-illing off the bad ever so violently

Football

Football

It’s 9:30 on Saturday

The ground still wet from morning dew

It’s now time to play

this game we call football, we are a lucky few

Not everyone is blessed to play the game

Some are sick, hurt, or forbidden by mom,

I am so lucky, I have no shame

Te ref flips his coin, and it lands in his palm

“Rebels, you have won

do you want the ball”?

“No we differ” this will be fun

Defense first, it’s always a brawl

The harder we hit, the harder they fall

Hopefully we win, and we can stand tall

Junior Year: A Poem

They weren't lying when they said junior year is rough

In times like these, everything is tough

From the first day to the last, this is no joke

I really hope on the SAT's I don't choke.

The SAT, something every junior has on their mind

What will it be like? Will I do well? What colleges can I find?

COLLEGE is something we all thought was so far away

It's scary to think it gets closer each day,

And with everything that we have on our plate,

The teachers add homework with more and more weight.

No wonder they call juniors the craziest class!

We have so much to do the year before we reach our last.

And along with the SAT there is The ACT to which some prefer,

With either we hope colleges don't defer!

It seems everything we do matters for the future

Some find it overwhelming so they decide to get a tutor.

All in all i hope it goes by quickly,

Just thinking about it is making me sickly

I hope I do well, I hope I don't Fail

Junior Year is kinda like living in hell.

The Demons

I can try to describe the demons so you can avoid them in your endeavors. The demons don't come in one cut and paste and model. They come in all different shapes and sizes and colors. But all the demons have some things in common. They all have two hands and two feet. They stand completely upright so they match our height. The demons have this twisted sense of humor that they call "schadenfreude." The demons commit incredible acts of evil and enjoy every second of it. Also, by fluke, they sometimes commit acts of kindness, but they don't mean to. The demons also have this strange belief that they aren't actually demons. They believe that demons live in a world imaginarily deep underground. The demons' inflated egos have led them to believe that they are wonderful divine beings.
Good luck on avoiding the demons; they're EVERYWHERE.

Noises Off-Right Before Thursday Night

Entry written on 2/5

Noises Off was last night. I'm so tired, although I've never complained about being exhausted before. Last night, after Act 2, one of my cast mates turned to me and said, "That was like a cardio workout." He was so right.

Before the show, I felt the nerves in my fingers, unlike everyone else who felt it in the pit of their stomachs. I cracked my knuckles several times trying to alleviate the tingly, nervous feeling. I didn't feel better until we did a relaxation and a warm up with Mr. Marr and Max. Following the relaxation was a secret Theatre South tradition led by seniors. As we started, a cast mate, who was also a junior, turned to me and said, "Why is that going to be us next year?" I gasped-we were almost seniors, and that's pretty weird. Shortly after that, we got into our Act 1 places. I was standing right outside the "kitchen" door as I waited for my cue to open the show. And there it was: the opening music and the ringing of the phone...and there the show began.

As I typed this entry, I could feel the nerves in my fingers, even though the show happened over 2 months ago. It's weird what a couple of adjectives can do to you...

The Perfect Strawberry

The perfect strawberry

Is bright red

Not dark like a cherry

But vivid like a rose bed

The perfect strawberry is so juicy and sweet

The taste is all over your lips

Its is too good to eat neat

So juicy that bites become sips

The best strawberry you'll eat

Might be the next strawberry you see

It will knock you off of your feet

You'll yell WHOOPEE!

Facebook O Facebook

My Mini-feed keeps refreshing

Because your busy lives keep updating

but how else would I see pictures of Ski Trip?

Or that Samantha Netkin went from "In a Relationship" to "Single"

It says that there is a video on my wall

So I check my notifications

Preston William's has joined the Network "Maryland 2014"

So I write to him, "congratulations!"

Someone's profile picture just changed

And yes, she's WAY hotter

I mean, she retouched her face and put bronzer on

Anymore and I'll barely spot her

I may "Poke" for fun but I'm the one

who clicks HOME eight times in eight seconds

But even I agree that it is nice to see

"Cutest smile" is what I have reckoned

So Facebook is a great distraction

A clue to everyone's lives

I've got no problem with having communication

until my mother's friend request arrives

I just don't see what these parents want to see

I know they want to go with the flow

BUt does it truly benefit to find that their son is a JETMAN pro?

Facebook lets the uninvited join the party

Allow teenagers lives to be criss-crossed

With it we have ongoing interaction

With out, we're lost.

My Grandma's Funeral 2/20/06

Seeing someone you love with all your heart go through so much pain and suffering cant truly be one of the hardest experiences of your life. As the youngest grandchild of my grandma, it has been especially hard for me to understand the exact amount of sorrow everyone has been going through. My grandma was sick for a very long time and went through many days of constant pain and suffering- but i know that she went through it knowing she always had people she loved right by her side, the whole way through it. It was especially hard for me to watch my dad go through all the pain of losing his mother. I know now though, that she is in a place where she is free of all pain and is peaceful. Never at any moment will I forget all the memories and times I shared with my grandma and I know that everyone agrees with me in saying that she was a very special woman and will never be forgotten.

vacation

A daughter and mother bonding weekend was how I spent my vacation.

At first I thought what a bore but who knew that during a long weekend up in the Berkshires there would be so much to explore.

Exploring nature and the outdoors and exploring the the loving bond that me and my mom share was quite the experience.

We laughed a ton that by the end my stomach was in pain.

I couldn't of asked for better weather it was like the summertime during the end of march which just helped make this trip that much better.

Being able to look back at this when I am older, I will remember what a wonderful time those days were, just spending time me and my mom...

The End is Very Near

The winter snows have finally melted, and spring is finally here.
The leaves have emerged, the skies are finally clear.
But no matter how nice the weather is, the end is very near.

Summer is here, the time of year has got me feeling blue.
The ground is scorched, and heat waves ensue.
Graduation is your big day, I'm going to miss you.

Fall is here again, the spring leaves have blown out of town.
Why did you go? Since you left I've been down.
So until you come back I'm going to be wearing this frown.

Sunday Night Blues

As I lay in bed, and think about my weekend

Something inside me begins to feel sad

I know school's tomorrow

and I'm pretty pissed

Sadly vacation's over

It will be missed

I know that a tough week lies ahead

I'm not sure how I will get out of bed.

And as my pillow hits my head

I come one step closer to that moment I dread.

The vicious cycle one again starts,

another week of work and charts.

And even before sleep renders me blind,

I've already got friday on my mind.

Bubble

Over the break, I came to the conclusion that Long Island is inside a bubble. We know who everyone is through Camp FRiends, friends, or facebook. The typical Long Island kid won't try to get to know someone unless they've " heard of them". Facebook is the main reason why. Facebook keeps you socially connected with people you don't get to see everyday. With that, they offer pictures of that person with friends.

Going Green

Going Green.
Two simple words
difficult challenge,
bigger meaning.

Saving our planet,
Saving our breaths.
Coming together
neighbors and friends,
set on one goal.

Keeping the beauty,
keeping the peace.
This land that is
slipping away.

Putting an end to
the habits we have.
Putting an end to
destroying nature.

Starting a new beginning.
Arms interlocked,
smiling wide.
Neighbors and friends
Going Green.

Flying Poem

I really don't like flying,

Especially when there are babies crying.

There's a kid behind me kicking my seat,

I wish I had something to tie down his feet.

Sitting next to the window is sometimes fun,

But getting out surely is none.

There isn't a movie on display,

It feels like this flight is taking all day.

My iPod already died,

There's nothing else to do that I haven't tried.

I'm getting really antsy,

Good thing this flight isn't fancy.

I wish I could teleport, it'd be so much faster,

But thats gotta be a hard trick to master.

I think we're almost there,

We better be or I might pull out my hair.

I can't wait to touch ground,

Get off this plane and run around.
