Summer Ends

Damn, school starts in just 4 more days. It's funny how fast time goes by, just a month ago i said "look guys...before we know it, it'll be September 30th." And whata ya know..its only a couple of days away. It kind of sucks i guess, but it's whatever. life goes on, i gota start doing shit. Study hard, finish my classes, graduate, get a job, be rich. Ive been on a break now for nearly 4 months and i don't know if i was even able to accomplish much this summer. I think back and tell myself, what the hell did i do? I feel more stupid than ever, my grammar sucks and i can barely even speak properly.

Overall, i mean it was fun chillin with the homies from day to day, but i wish i did more with my time. I probably shouldn't have stayed up so late every night doing nothing or playing video games and waking up late. Instead i should've taken on some new hobbies or worked on some projects around the house or something. I've been constantly telling myself i should renovate the backyard and make it look crazy, or remodel the house. I suppose it was also a money issue that didn't allow me to do all of those things. remodeling is nice, but also quite expensive.

I guess this summer i went to Cancun, that was fun...boy, that feels like a decade ago already. But after Cancun though, i didn't do much at all, or at least nothing that was extremely memorable. I wish i could've done more, but maybe next summer i guess. I've been constantly writing down "things to do" on note cards every week...but i never usually get around to it. Currently i have 2 note cards filled with things to do and my goal is to mark it all off before summer ends. Chances are, not likely but i'll try.

At the beginning of summer i noticed that i was getting out of shape. Especially when i was in Cancun, i didn't have quite the physique that i desired haha. may sound gay that I'm so concerned about those kinds of things, but i like being fit and looking good. I've never quite looked like this so I've been recently going back to the gym a lot. I try to go everyday and I started boxing again. Hopefully i can fight again soon sometime this year. It's something I've always enjoyed and loved, but I've never really devoted my whole time into it. It's also something to get my mind off of things when im pissed off or something. Trust me, punching something is a huge stress reliever. When you throw everything you got until you can't breathe and your fists hurt... you feel good. Training will be pretty hard with school going on, but i'll try to continue my routine everyday after school to stay in good condition.

Recently though, i've been getting into biking. I got all my LiveStrong gear and i feel like a bad ass haha. got my yellow helmet, live strong watch, bracelet, shirt, shorts, shoes, the whole package! I originally used my brothers mountain bike, which is pretty nice, but then Jane let me borrow her brother's road bike. The difference between the bikes is huge when you're biking on the road. I save tons of energy simply because the road bike is so much faster and it allows you to move longer distances without pedaling as much. So instead of driving places, i always bike now. If i need to go to Lowes or the bank, i usually just bike a few miles out. I also just bike for leisure and sport, its something i've grown to love. I wana be able to bike to Redmond soon...i was thinking about doing it before school starts but i don't know. One of these days though, i'm going to bike to UW for school. I want to do it before the school year ends at least. Once i get enough training, i want to do the Seattle to Portland bike trip. I know i can do it and i will do it sometime in my life. That's not even that bad really ive always thought it would be awesome to bike all the way to california, then around the states and just explore and sleep wherever i can find a place.

I forgot to mention, something kind of funny happened 2 days ago. One night, at around 10 something, my buddy Donald gives me a call and asks if i wana go to a party. At first i was reluctant, i'm not the type to really go to some random party and drink. I thought it would be awkward if i didn't know anyone, and i felt like i would just feel out of place. But i ended up going and i'm kind of glad i did. i was able to get out of the house and experience something new i guess. When i got there, i was surprised to recognize a lot of faces, but also a lot of faces that i didnt know. You know you don't go to a lot of parties when right when you get there, an old friend of yours comes up to you and she says, "what the hell are u doing here?" Not even a "hi," or "hey how are you." haha i didn't really care but i was kind of like wtf? Nice way to say wassup, but i guess she was a bit intoxicated. Anyways, the party got a little too loud and cops ending up coming. I don't really feel like going into deep details, but what happened was me, Scotty, and Chris ended up running away from the cops right as we walked around the corner of the neighborhood. We ran cause I wasn't trying to get an MIP and we called Donald to come pick us up. With our awesome luck, Donald ended up driving into a ditch and we tried to push him out intoxicated, but that didn't work too well. Donald wasn't even drunk...just poor driving skills haha. We called up Jeff Goslee, who woke up out of bed and came to help us out. he's the one person you can count on when you need help, good guy.

Blue Scholars performs on Monday, i'm pretty stoked about that. They're going to be at UW for DAWG DAZE (an event with a bunch of festivities before school starts). It's free too and it'll be on the HUB lawn. I've never really seen any hip hop group perform. Oh yeah, my last blog said i was going to be at the JAY Z concert...well scratch that because we never bought the tickets. When we wanted to, the seats we were gna get were full and they upped the price for the shitty seats and we figured it wasn't worth it anymore. I was actually really looking forward to it too becuase this was probably Jay Z's last time ever touring and i've never been to anything like that.

What else is going on....i'm not exactly sure. School starting again is about it. I dread it, but at the same time i think i need it. A lot of things have been on my mind recently this past month, things that don't make me feel all that great. i need to get over it and school will keep myself occupied with things to do. UW year of 09-10, here i come!
