On my Mind right now- Blog # 30

Right now there are many things that are going through my mind as usual. Somethings I rather keep to myself but others I guess I could write about. Varsity has a soccer game today against Houston at their place. If our Varsity wins then we will be 1st place in the region and first or second place in the state. This is a very important match for Varsity and even I am nervous right now. Also I am also thinking of the things I am already planning to do this weekend and that is going on to party on Saturday like usual but I have to find out where. Also there is a soccer game tonight that I plan on going to because my friend is playing. He goes to Ocilla and I want to check out how they do. Also there is another reason why I would like to go but I would rather keep that to myself. We'll just say that it involves someone I want to see.

Neices or Nephews?

Yes currently right now I am not an uncle yet but I am about to be one. My cousin is fixing to have his first baby. Its going to be born sometime next month I believe or the month after. I really don't see a big deal my part though because I would really have nothing to be responisble for. Yes I would like to see how he turns out to be but I am not really all that crazy about babies. I care for them yes but I don't go like awwwww when I see one.

Goals Acomplished?

Well for the most part I've been following up on my goals pretty well. I am still keeping a 98 and above average. I am still improving on soccer and that is something that you can never stop doing because there is always something to work on or to practice. I did go to GHP interview and I tried my best but I still don't know if they have picked me to go yet. The workout schedule is the one I have slacked on. I have stopped doing those because of all of the stuff that has been going on. I just really havent had the time but that is my fault as well because sometimes when I do have time I do other things instead. Overall, most of the goals I have followed through successfully.

If I could switch places with anybody in the world for one day, I would probably switch places with some really successful and rich person just to see what it would be like to be them for a day. Then at the end of the day I would sent a lot of their money to me so I can spend it how I want ;)

This weekend was pretty good overall. Friday I reallly can't remember what I did after school. Think I just stayed at home and played soccer with my little brother. Saturday I had a game against Pierce County at their place and we killed them. We won 11-3 but the downside is that it wasn't a very challenging game and we were bored the whole time. Later on that day I found out that Grandma came back from Texas and we went to pick her up. Then that night I went to see Friday 13th with some friends and then after that we went to dance. Sunday was normal. Some cousins came over my house and I just played with them all day.

Musical Artist

I listen to a lot of different music and of all those types I don't really have a specific favorite singer. Some of those types I listen to are probably unknown to most of you. Some of my favorite artist include many Latin artist like Camila. Of course I listen to other music as well. Rap, a good rapper I know is Lil' Wayne. I also like Nickleback's songs and some of Three Doors Down. Over all, the list could go on forever as well because each artist of each genre has their own special talents are I appreciate and think of as good.

Holiday Weekend

This past weekend wasn't all that great as I expected it to be. Aside from the relief from all of the school work nothing much really happened. Friday I was home and if I remember correctly I went to some birthday party at my cousin's. Little kids birthday parties aren't all that fun so I just hung out and played a few games. Saturday I went to the Monitor in Fitzgerald with some friends. It is like a dancing club or somewhat related. The entrance fee was 10 dollars per person and well I danced all that night. I woke up really late the next day which was Sunday and I really can't remember what I did that day. Yesterday I had a game and we lost 3-2 against Lowndes which was really pityful because they weren't that great. That game should have been won if it wasn't for the new goalie or for the autogoal that happened during the game. But in the end mistakes happened and all we can do is learn from them. This week I really plan to step up my game and we will see how it turns out.

Valentine's Day Plans

This Saturday is Valentine's Day and I really don't have anything to do that day. I do have a couple of plans. I am going to deliver somethings to this special someone I know and then probably MAYBE spend that day with her. It's complicated to explain but just know that I can't always be around her. Then after that I will go home and watch my team play soccer. I really don't have much special planned but maybe I will even go out to eat.

Favorite Website to Browse

I would have to say that my favorite website to browse through would be Myspace or now even facebook. I really don't get on any other websites on the computer unless I am looking to buy something like soccer shoes or anything of that sort but like most of everyone, I get on myspace and talk to friends and view pictures and all that sort of stuff that you do on there. I also just recently had facebook because some friends only had facebook so I start to get on there alot more often. Overall I don't use the computer that much.

Hairstyle Appearance

I would have to agree with the article. I do believe that people do judge based on appearance. Many people say that you have to get to know the person to be able to judge them but when you first meet someone you don't know, you cannot say that you base on if you want to talk to them or not on their appearance. In particularly hairstyle is something that would change a person and I take that from personal experience. I used to have a hairstyle with my hair just flat on the head. It had no gel, hairspray , or anthing like that. Not many people talked to me but I am not sure if some of the reasons was because of the way I looked. I started changing my style from a country person to just a regular modern person and this is the way I am right now. My hair is spiked up and I try and wear the modern everyday clothes. I have improved on the many friends I have and made even new ones. Now Walters' ideas about hair parting may be a little off but they are valid to think about. I usually think of people who part their hair through the middle as geeks and well I guess that is sorta related to wise.

Progress Reports coming up

This Monday we have progress reports but I'm not worried one bit. I am pretty confident I am doing good in all classes. 1st 2nd and 3rd I have grades above a 98 and 4th block I might have the 95 because I started the year off wrong in that class. Either way I am pretty happy with my grades but I have to step up my game to keep those grades to atleast a 99 or 100 by the end of this term to raise up my rank back to number 1. My mom never comes to open house because she says that the teachers just say the same things over and over again so I don't think that we will come this time.

Solutions to smoke problem.

Of course we all know that this campus is a drug free but the smoking is up to the people themselves. We really can't control the people sneaking around and smoking unless there is an administrator in the bathrooms at all time. I hate it when you go into the bathrooms and come out with your clothes smelling like smoke and that is why we need to stop this. One way I think that this could be solved is that if the school spent some money on any device that detects cigarette smoke if there is such a thing. It would send a signal to the front office that would alert them in which bathroom the smoke is detected. Then it would turn on a camera in the main part of the bathroom (not in the stalls) all of the people it catches that come out of the stalls which is usually where the smoking happens would be searched for cigarette lighters or packets or any drug.

Yesterday

Yesterday I had a decent day. Starting with first block I finished all my work but I started typing up some work for another class and turned out that I wasn't able to save it. But after all of that, the rest of my day went fine. Other classes were regular and in my last class I am almost pretty sure I passed the first part of the test with an A. The second part was pretty hard but I am sure that I passed that too. At practice it was like other days nothing too special and when I got home I fell asleep for the rest of the night. Well I did wake up to take a bath and get my clothes ready for the next day but after that I fell right back asleep. Those decent days are the ones that make your life boring because nothing extraordinary happens but nothing horribly bad happens either.

Michael Phelp

I think that what he did was irresponsible also but like it said in the article, it set a bad example for the other athletes and people that look up to him. He apologized for his actions but even if he did so, many apologize can be broken. I hope that he truly did recognize that what he did was wrong but people cannot be so sure all the time.

American Idol

I've never really watched American Idol I've just heard a lot about it. The reason I don't watch it is because I don't have the channel or atleast I don't think. I do watch something similar to it but a spanish version so I am sure I would like it. My family use to sit together and watch that every Sunday Night and we would have a great time laughing at their singing or criticizing them.
