| So. It's been awhile.
Oh yeah.
It's my birthday.
I'm 19.
holy shit.
I think it would indeed be a good idea to make my last official year as a teenager pretty much kick ass.
I'll take any volunteers to help me with that one.

I guess there's a movie named after me or something. Came out in 2004. Yeah. | | |

Do you smell it?
I do...
...Summer.

| Well, to update the world:
Well my new car that I got in August got hit while parked in front of
Jessica's house. No one witnessed this henious act, and the
driver took great advantage of this in his/her get away. It was
later concluded that it was the neighbors' daughter across the street
that felt it necessary to criple my car. That was on November
23rd, and the insurance claim was just finished being filed a few weeks
ago. So the Graylude shall be fixed, but still not for a good few
weeks. In other good news, I severed my ACL and MCL, as well as
tearing my lateral meniscus, at a gymnastics meet on December
3rd. I was in Oklahoma, which made that even more
enjoyable. I especially enjoyed the part where I got to drive
around at 1-3 in the morning going to the Emergency Room to explain to
them why my knee was swiveling as if it were a ball and socket
joint. I endured some pain for a good while, and pain is no
fun. I did some physical therapy and got back into shape; by got
back into shape, I mean that I returned to the world of the walking and
the driving. It was splendid, then I had surgery on January 19th,
so back to the crutches and narcotics I went! Now I'm up for my
second round of physical therapy, which is proving to be much more
difficult and painstaking than the first.
Now, I need to give some credit where credit is due. I want to
thank everyone that has been there for me in the last few months.
Its been real crappy and I don't know what I would have done without my
friends. Probably found a nice train to run (or
hobble) in front of. I especially want to thank you, Jess. I don't
think I can ever thank you enough for how much you have done for me and
taken care of me.

| So.
It's been a while since this blog has felt the burden of my ramblings, I figured it was time for a refresher course.
Most recently, I did a maltese on rings. For you non-gymnast
readers, a maltese is a move where you are holding a certain
position. This position is made by holding the rings at your
sides, and your body is laying flat. Its basically laying on your
stomach on the ground, with your arms beside, but suspending your body
in the air this way. Rather difficult, and I'm becoming excited
for this competition season.
School is going well, all too well it seems. I feel like I'm not
really being challenged, or maybe its the simple fact that I've
strapped down and I'm actually WORKING on things for school at home
now. High school was always such a mind fuck with work, but that
was entirely due to my lazyness with deadlines, thus always placing
myself violently into a bind at the last minute. The cure for
this is simple, at the very most. I've begun an act, commonly known as
studying, and have applied it in small doses (although they still
large in comparison to what I did in secondary school). This has
almost entirely eliminated the stress element from my schooling.
Such a fantastic idea that one was.
My Avicularia versicolor refuses to molt.
My plans for the 22nd have been absolutely ruined by an event known as
BAND. As in completely stopmed on, smashed, devistated, bombed,
or just simply fucked up. Splendid. To whom this last
paragraph concerns, you know what I mean. Tis' ok, I have a backup.
It has taken me approximately too long to clean out my closet, but once
my room its sparkling clean again, I will feel like a new man.
Matty J knows of the simple yet enormous pleasure of a clean
room. Starting off fresh, mmmm yes.
Big week coming up. Jessica, are you ready to show everyone up
this Saturday with our immaculate technique in the art of swing
dance? I know I am.

Summer is over, and I've come to realize that I really don't
mind. I thoroughly enjoy the winter, so I suppose my current
dicomfort comes from the long and agonizing transition between these
two seasons known as autumn. Autumn is nothing more than simple
torture for every individual. Whether you are a tropical climate
fan watching the green grass wither and die, or a snow-supporter
eagerly awaiting for that first flake to drop, you will inevitably
suffer through the next 3 months.
I want more tarantulas.
I need another job.
I'd like to find a new car soon.
I don't like being broke.
I'm ready for school to start Monday.
I'm not ready to not see a certain someone everyday.
I'm hungry.
