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


Credit for the art goes to m-a-t-h-e-s of deviantart.com


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.

The end is coming
Finally we can all rest

I Wish

I w*sh...
I was famous
I w*sh...
I had my license
I w*sh...
I could surf
I w*sh...
I had more hours to sleep every night
I w*sh...
I didn't have a curfew
I w*sh...
I could eat a lot and not gain weight
I w*sh...
I could be happy all the time

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).)
