Surprise

Going to make this a quick post because I have limited time at the computer at work right now lol. Good day yesterday was dreading all day having to go to my brothers banquet and I had to leave work early just to go pick him up for the stupid thing. I was scared I was going to be bored out of my mind but my friend courtney showed up and asked if I could go to the soccer game with her. Thank god, because I didn't think my mom was going to let me leave for the entire thing. It was great I got to see a great soccer game where we beat north cobb with penalty kicks at the end of the game. Bradley, our new goalie managed to block his first penalty kick of the year. He is a new goalie that has never played soccer before, we had such a bad upcoming goalie they trained Bradley specifically for this position. He had never played soccer before, in highschool or anything, maybe a little league when he was like 6 but nothing serious. I had an uneventful day at school, I got to leave RISE because I was in there for two and a half hours and go home and eat an orange. My little sister was there because of an ear ache and I got to play with her. Mostly my day has been pretty boring and I don't feel like staying an extra thirty minutes today for work which I really need to do but I'll put it off till tomorrow.

Thank the Good Lord

Ok, so today I was having a bit of a rough monday. Everything was off to a smooth start. I had to go home during my rise class because my pitt stains were kind of bad. I learned my lesson about not wearing an undershirt. Anyway, even that couldn't bring me down until I got to math today. We got our tests back and I received a 38 + 5 more points the teacher gave everyone bringing my grand total to 43. Wow, so I was pretty dumb friday and realize I'm paying for it now. So this is one of the dumber things I could have done which was tune out all week and then try and take the test friday. Still I checked and my grade only slipped to a 76 so that's not so bad, it's still in the C range meaning my parents won't kill me. Oh and the guy in the picture pointing is really pointing at me not you.

I HATE GOLF

So basically I came home yesterday and slept all through the night. I fell asleep at 6:30 got up around 11 and did nothing until 2 when I went to sleep. Exciting Friday night I know. So today I wake up and I'm kind of just hanging around the house because all my friends are off doing different things. Well I'm supposed to play golf tomorrow with my friend so I decide to go practice some at the driving range. I drive up there and start swinging away. Everything went well until I was a little over half way done when my hand started to hurt. It was my left hand and I realized since I wasn't wearing a glove it was developing a blister. I kept playing through it despite my hand wanting to scream. My game started to go downhill despite a rather good beginning, when this kid a year older than me showed up. I recognized him from Harrison. I don't usually try to be superstitious but my game completely went to hell as soon as him and his country hick friend showed up. I don't know if its because I whiffed when they walked up and I turned around to see them walking to the range or what but something totally just threw me off at that point. I became increasingly irate at my hand which had now peeled off the skin and was throbbing just to hold the club. Despite this I decided to play through it even though the pain was great. I was getting more and more frustrated and on a particular bad swing using my driver I went to strike it on the ground and before I could make contact with the ground the driver head fell off. I was extremely pissed at that point and spent the rest of the time just knocking the golf balls as hard as I possibly could not caring what direction they flew off in. I thought this summer I could spend some time improving my golf game and maybe play a little but now after my crappy club broke I don't want to give another dollar in support of the sport golf. That's going to be tricky as I have my golf game tomorrow to look forward to with my friend.

Ok, this is actually a catch up

So I was going to try and not make it a habit of updating on two days but I feel I have to discuss the events that happened after I left work (I might not update for the rest of the day, depends on if anything interesting happens). Basically I left work and called my girlfriend telling her I couldn't make it on our "walk" she wanted to go on. I had to go help my friend out with his neighbor moving stuff. My best friend swears he told me about it and maybe he did but I had no recollection of it whatsoever. Anyway, we drive all the way out to 41 and we go to this old person's house. We have to move all this furniture and just "crap" away from the house. I think that maybe the lady is giving the other lady her "crap" because she's nice. It starts to rain at this house were moving at in the middle of us moving this stuff. The lady we were gathering things from ended up giving me a nice Cohiba picture her son had when he was in college and my best friend a tool box. I think she was going to throw them away so I'm glad we got something instead of letting them go to waste.
Anyway we come back to the old lady that was getting the "crap" and we go to put the stuff down in her basement and its totally filled with junk. They were like crazy packrats in their basement and i couldn't realize why they were adding more junk to it. So we move all the stuff in there and as were backing out of the house my tires get stuck in mud. The husband of the lady that we were working for comes out of his house and gets extremely pissed at us, even though his backyard is all leaves and mud he's mad we're spinning my tires in his yard. So we go to move the car out and we have to have everyone jump on the back while my best friend drives so we can get enough traction to pull out. I felt bad as the old people had trouble getting into the back of my truck bed. It was their idea to do it, I was all for just trying to put a board under the tire, but hey don't listen to a teenager they never know what's right. We finally make it and after rolling around in their backyard for awhile they are pretty pissed. I really doubt they'll ask us to help them again when they finally decide to clean out that basement. It was suprising to me that they were mad as we had just helped them find their dog that had run off when they had let him out.
So I take my best friend home and then go to pick up my girlfriend and by now its about 8 o'clock. She's pretty ticked I can tell so I decide to make it up to her by taking her to Beef O' Brady's. I had been craving wings for awhile now. She wasn't as mad as she should have been at me(we were supposed to hang out at 5) and we had a great dinner. I came home and fell asleep missing Obama coming on Jay Leno which I had wanted to see.
Anyway, usually I'm going to try and not update twice a day but last night had so much going on I really couldn't let a lot of my "experiences" go unsaid.

What A Day...

Wow, So today hasn't really been going all that hot for me. I'm doing that new thing where I don't let life's little stuff stress me out and all of a sudden a day comes along like this one to totally ruin it. This morning my brother informed me he was getting my car when I go off to college so I can't come home on the weekends. You might think this sounds pretty weird for an 18 year old teenage guy to want to come home on the weekends but seriously I have a 3 year old sister and don't want to miss most of her childhood. So naturally I start thinking about ways I can work harder to maybe save up and get a car during the summer. Well I started hearing rumors that my job might be getting hours cut during the summer. Great, and if anyone was possibly able to find a job in this economy I'd like to meet them. I'm fortunate to have the job I do, because of the work style, hours, and pay, so taking on another one really isn't what I had in mind for the summer.
Oh, well it could be worse I guess. The girlfriend is pissed because I had to blow off our walk today (she wanted to take one because its the first day that's felt good in awhile). I feel bad but my best friend called me saying we had to move some stuff for neighbors of his. He thought he had already talked to me about it. I really have no idea if he did or didn't because I've been in the habit lately of forgetting things. If he did forget to talk to me then he totally owes me for saving his butt because I think he already promised the other people we would. I told the girlfriend I would take her out to dinner to make it up to her and she replied with the standard female "ok, that's fine" meaning that I'm in the doghouse. I'm trying to remember people have had a lot worse days and that mine might not be as horrible as it seems in my mind. Still trying to let go of the stress is a chore in itself... causing even more stress, which kind of makes my day a catch-22.

It's been awhile

OK, So its been awhile since I've posted anything on here actually it was over a year ago. I really should update this thing more as I am trying out this whole relieving stress thing and trying to get a sort of running guide going on my life and just to reflect on my day. So I am not really writing because I am stressed or anything, I have plenty to be stressed about but have been doing better about letting it get to me. I think this is because I am working on letting things go and not letting the small stuff stress me out.
OK, I can't say I do that for everything but for the most part I tend to be pretty calm, and even when I get really angry or just pissed off about something, I remind myself that getting mad won't resolve anything. Anyway my life is going pretty good, I'm still waiting to hear back from certain colleges so I can make my final decision. That's probably the biggest stressor in my life, but I am gradually realizing that there is nothing I can do to change the fact on where I get in, (My bed is already made so now I have to lie in it) so I just kind of accept fate and move on and realize I'll make the decision when its time. Mostly my grades aren't doing to well this semester (I get good grades but hey, senioritis kicked in) but I hope to bring them up in the end. They're also something I could let stress me out, but hopefully won't let it. I hope this post is something that will help me keep writing and posting on my blog about my life, whether anyone reads this or not I really don't care as long as I have some sort of outlet
