My technological advance

Well, it finally happened. No longer am I limited to play my nintendo 64 (not that I had a problem with that), because I got a Wii. It was a confirmation present for me and my sister, and we love it. I only have Wii fit and sports right now, but I have a lot of fun with them. especially Wii sports. I love the boxing game the most, probably because it is the game that makes me look the most stupid as I do it, and looking stupid is a hobby of mine as long as it gets the job done. I gotta dodge punches, you know. I can't just take all that damage. Well if there are any games you want to reccommend, please let me know.

The sham-wow guy

Most of us have seen the sham-wow commercial, right? We have this guy on meth advertizing a towel that is suposed to dry better than other towels. This is maybe the most stupid blog I have ever posted, but I simply cannot get the commercial off my mind. This is the type of guy that caused the invention of restraining orders. He talks extremely fast, and has facial expressions to go along. I wonder if Billy Mays is with him or agaisnt him. It would be funny to see them fight. Billy Mays outweighs sham-wow guy, but consider sham-wow guy is high on meth all the time he might win. Like I said, my dumbest blog.

Sunburn

So this sunday I went to the beach, which I don't do very often. However, I am starting to enjoy it alot when I go with friends. I had a great time, but of course there was a down side. My back, shoulders, and parts of my arms and chest feel like they are on fire. I put sunblock on but I guess it rubbed off in the water. This blog is not just about me complaining about my sunburn. It is like a warning, that sunburn is for real. Put on sunscreen and do it right. When your skin is so sensitive that scratching your head makes you groan, you will think the same way I do. Please, for your own sake, wear sunscreen if you are pale like me. I would hate to see anybody else in this situation. We all enjoy sleep, right? Got some news for ya. Not going to happen. And people most likey WILL slap your back, just for fun. The list goes on. Please don't make my mistakes.

An old pal named Devin

About 2 years ago, in a place that some of my friends and I used to go to and have campfires, we met a character. His name was Devin, and he was homeless. He had stumbled upon our fire spot and found it to be a great place for a homeless man to stay. He said he had no problem staying there because "he was raised country," according to him. Now this was not your average everyday homeless guy ( everyday depending on where you live of course). He simply did not have a home because of some problems he had with his fiance's parents. He was always out looking for jobs. He also washed his clothes and himself in the nearest public showers he could find. He told some interesting stories, some very hard to believe, but we didn't care. We had great times sitting around the fire with him, listening and telling all sorts of stories and giving each other's meanings to life and advice. I do miss having him around. He moved to Wisconsin and lives with his brother now. I would like to one day see him again, and have just one more campfire to sit around.

A day without gobstoppers

I sit here today with a raincloud over me
Lifting my head up is quite a tough task
For I'm missing something so special, you see
I lack my gobstoppers, in case you were to ask
The first one I pop brings light to my eyes
Brings a smile to my face and color to my world
But without it with me my spirit can't fly
How I wish I could taste that sweet colorful swirl
I sit here and wonder, with time going by
How is it that emptiness fills up my gut
I don't really care, I'm not going to try
For without gobstoppers my mind is simply shut
I mourn in my head which I constantly smack
Why did is wallet behind a door shut with locks
My viewpoint is much like those addicted to crack
Now that I don't have my yellow gobstoppers box.

Circas

Last weekend, a buddy of mine offered me a pair of brand new shoes, my size, for a very good price. Since the shoes I was wearing were pretty torn up, I took the offer. Little did I know that the pair of shoes I just baught is one of the best I have ever owned. They are high top Circas and I absolutely love them. They have great grip on the bottom for skateboarding, very comftrable, and the high top keeps me from rolling my ankles. My entire style of skateboarding has changed and improved. There is a connection between me and my board once again. I have more control. This is the first time I ever ride Circas and I highly recommend them to everybody who skates.

Staying sane

A great day for me to make it through the day without wanting to put a gun in my mouth is going straight to the weston regional skatepark the second that school ends. After sitting in an uncomftrable desk for 8 hours or so, I need to let some energy out. I only stay for about 40 minutes or so, but it is a great way to relieve ''stress" for me. I start with my normal warmup, and then move on to trying harder tricks or new tricks. It helps me take my mind off of other crap that might be bothering me whether it be from school at home, or a combination of the two. It's good exercise for both body and mind. If by the end of the day you feel the blood pumping through your temples on the sides of your head, I suggest trying something like this. Whatever it is you enjoy, for just a little while right after school is done. Stay safe.
