Body builders
May 30th, 2008 by someoneyouknow
The big and buff. The tall and strong. How do body builders do it? They work at the gym, buff up, train others, and withstand that horrible BO. I go to the gym three times a week for one hour or 45 minutes and I get bored out of my mind and if I am not bored out of my mind, I will be so close to passing out with that BO coming from every other person around me. I know my BO doesn’t smell good (nobodies does) but, when it all piles up like that… can you say open a window. How on earth do they literally live there? I guess it is their personality and they just love it. And no duh, if you like to do something, why not take it as a profession. O well, I am sure that they (or you if you’re a body builder) think we are crazy, body builders may think “How cant they just love to work out.”

Tennis
May 22nd, 2008 by someoneyouknow
I started practicing tennis a week ago on Saturday. I had been playing before but, I had stopped about 4 years ago. So I didn’t remember anything about the game. The first day of practice I knew my stance and nothing else. My couch would pass the ball and when I hit that yellow fuzz ball it went flying to the complete side. He passed me 2 more and the exact same thing happened. He noticed from my first swing, that I was doing four things wrong. I was:1. Swinging way too hard.2. Had my wrists to tighten.3. My positioning of my racket.4. My footing was to close and badly placed.I knew I wouldn’t get it right the first day so I wasn’t too surprised but, I never realized that how you hold your racket and from what angle/height you should hit the ball. Also I never thought that “top spin” was so necessary to keep the ball on its path. And trust me this is maybe only ¼ of the list of things. So after my practice shots he showed me the movement I should have been making. He showed me from start to finish (and let me say that start was nothing like finish). He also showed me how to hide the racket while you’re moving so, your opponent couldn’t predict the form of your shot. Of course it took me maybe 25 shots just to get my feet in the right places before the ball came and then another 25 for when the ball came. Also if I thought it took forever to get the footing right, getting the shot right felt like never-ending. The shot considered of three steps. First hiding the racket and getting to the ball in stance, second getting the top spin on the ball and hitting the ball at the right angles, and third making a half turn (while setting the racket on your shoulders and then have the back foot on its tips) so you face the other side of the court and preparing your next shot. If I am making it sound easy… I suggest you pick up a racket and try.

Old Music Never Gets Old
May 11th, 2008 by someoneyouknow
Have you even just heard a band or album so much that you just get sick of them? I bet we all have at least once. And then one day you just find the album or CD. It may have been weeks, months, maybe even years but, the second you import it or start listening to it, you get hooked all over again. Then its like, “Why did I ever even stop listening to this?” Well I am asking this because it recently happened to me. I have always been a big fan of Papa Roach. I don’t even remember when I got this album of theirs. It is called lovehatetragedy. I stopped listening to this CD when I was about 11. Now three years later, I love it all over again. This CD has 11 songs and I am obsessed with all of them. My favorites are: “Life is a bullet” “Time and Time again” and “Born with Nothing, Die with Everything.” I only wished that that album had one of my favorite songs like “Last Resort.” I don’t know why I liked that song so much. I also found it funny that I had never seen any of Papa Roach’s music videos. But I guess it didn’t hurt because since I never saw the videos, I focused on the lyrics themselves. I don’t know if the videos were any good but, at least I know the songs were great. Also, apparently a lot of people like Papa Roach because their overall album average is 4½ stars. I hade stopped listening Papa Roach for three years and now I will most likely start listening to them all over again. I find it funny how even old things can always find their way into the new.

Nothing to Something
May 4th, 2008 by someoneyouknow
We have all, or at least most of us, been through (or going through) a writers block. I told my literature teach that I hadn’t posted anything for a week because I simply had nothing to write about. She asked me at the start of class, “Can you write your blog during class because you never know what is going around in your head” In my opinion she was right. You never know until you stop and really start to think, even if it’s for a quick minute, and I ended up with my last post about a bad habit I have about waiting last minute. It may not have been my best post, but I had never noticed how some random thoughts may turn into something you really want to say to the world. I think we always have something to write about even during a writers block, but we think it is nothing until we finally think of a way to make it something. But what happens when that something ends up being nothing or just a mix of random thoughts. Is it possible for something to become nothing? I am sure nothing for some people is something for other. “A mans trash is another mans treasure” or something like that. But sometimes, I guess, nothing could really become something, but is it possible for something to end up as nothing? This post for example may mean nothing to you, but it may mean something to someone else. I know I am saying “something and nothing” a little too much in this post, but it is because if I go into specifics I go into something and not nothing. And if you are confused by this post, trust me, so am I.
