Buy a one-way ticket back to the place I used to be...

...So I can not only see you, but see the old me

The square root of 144 isssssss.....

haha. I have been asking that question randomly to every one of my family members since about 2nd grade. It is really funny cause I was first doing it to try to show off to everybody that I knew what a square root was, but then eventually it became obvious to everyone, so now I do it every once in a while just to sorta make fun of how I used to do it.

Uhm...today...absolutely nothing of interest. According to Adrian, I was a zombie when I was doing my painful workout on the track after school. Oh well. I was a zombie all day today, being sooo amazingly tired. Sometimes I think there's something wrong with me because so many other people are able to function on less sleep than this, yet I can't. Oh well...napping in the library is the nicest thing to do ever.

Oh yes. And those ACT classes from 6-10 yesterday night. Absolute torture.

But, yeah..my I am so behind on my year-long Bio project. It isn't even funny.

I am officially writing a song. Uhm...more like poetry? But with music. Well...singing poetry..with piano. So, yeah...basically that is a song. But, yeah..the title of this post is a sneak preview of the song. Uhm..so yeah.

I really feel like putting a link in here, but can't seem to find any cool sites. So, yeah...I guess maybe not.

Uhm...I think I need to get back to my homework

Peace.

Well everyone I know has got a reason to say put the past away

uhm..I am updating?

So todayy. Meet against Brookline. Supposedly the biggest meet in 7 years, but it didn't seem too bad. Uhm...I ran in the mile, running alongside the best miler in the state, Robert Gibson. So basically the race was really weird and we went out at a pace that was like probably right for the 2 mile when we were actually running the mile. Oh well. I got 5:15 and I'm proud of it.

So the meet was basically a landslide for Newton North. But then I went home and now have this terrible sore throat from the stupid (or rather amazing) weather.

Oh well. In any case, I have uhm..a test to study for which my history teacher told us today that it was tomorrow. So basically, I'm dead.

I've just realized how late I've been staying up. I really need to get some more sleep.

Uhm, that is really all I can say...I am so amazingly tired...
hmmm..I wish I could just stop time. Stop it for a while, just having time for everything that's going on. I wish I could press the pause button and enjoy everything in High School, not just pick and choose. Oh well. Too bad that button doesn't exist.

I really have nothing else to say

Peace

I really want to burn my bio book

So, yes. I am back from my wonderful college tour trip and now have way too much homework for my own good. Lets seeee...4 page spanish paper, English reading, History test, and finally crazy bio reading/bio lab. I worry wayy too much, but I know I'll eventually get them done.

The college trip was amazing and all, but I really couldn't wait to get back home. Maine was amazing. We stayed on a little inlet thing and our hotel had an amazing pier which went out about 400 meters (quite a ways). It was pretty cool.

But, yeah. Who cares about that. Uhm...I really have nothing important to say. So should I say anything at all? I have no idea.

So basically, I have been thinking way too much lately. Thinking about stupid, trivial things, about things that don't really matter in the scheme of things, but still thinking nonetheless. You know what our real problem is? The human population is too big. And, unfortunately, it is growing at an amazing rate. Which is better, to be born into a world where you have no chance of living a good life or not to be born at all? Basically, what we really need to do is cut down on the amount of people we have on this small planet and then that will solve almost all of our needs.

I don't know what else to write. So I guess I won't write anything else.

Oh well. This post was pointless.

Peace

Something random

Oh no. It is 10:55 and I am already tired. I am sitting here in this Montreal hotel public computer, having an awesomee time. Next to me, the door is so annoying, opening and closing every time someone goes in or out. I hear the French-speaking lady at the front desk...trying to understand her as she speaks to local guests.

This week has been eventful, yet very uneventful at the same time. I have done the same thing over, and over, and over again. Go into a college, take a tour, see what I like, what I dislike and try to come to some conclusion. They are really all the same. They all have somewhere to eat, they all have somewhere to sleep, and they all have somewhere to learn. Oh, yeah. And it just so happens that all of them are having new science centers put in. (coincidence?) But they are all the same. I think my final decision will not be made by something tangible like a certain trait the college has, but rather a feeling that I get when I walk into that college. That is why it's important to visit.

Oh well. Saint Lawrence looks like my best bet so far.

Other than that, I have pretty much nothing to write about. I can't wait to get home, as always.

Ugh. How I live is kinda how I listen to music. If that makes any sense.

Montreal is so light. You would think that like oh yeah, I'm up in Canada, so I should see like so many stars, but nooo. Stupid city lights.

I should really get off the computer now. There is somebody waiting, and I actually think they can see me typing this...uhm..so yeah. Going to the BOONIES in Maine (lol, oldies term) so I probs won't have internet access till I get back home. But you never knoww.

Peace.

echo-o-o-inggg

Ok. First of all, I am very upset that New England is only getting rain out of this gigantic storm. That being said, I am VERY glad I am traveling through upstate New York this week and rightt throughh the snowwww!! Yes. I am very excited.

Now that we have that out of the way...I have way too much to say but am not sure how to say it. Oh well.

What I am thinking:

My grandparents house smells an aweful lot like many things. In the few hours I've been here, I've been reminded of like 50 different (random) things and events just by randomely smelling something.

I now realize that late-night swinging is the thing to doo...whether or not there are sketchy people walking alone through the playground at 10:30 at night.

This keyboard seems very easy to type on

I should go out and see the stars more often

I have so much other random stuff floating around my mind. It is really bad. I end up thinking about something and end up zoning out and the next thing I know people are all like..."Michael, are you feeling ok?"...and I just kinda say yeah..I am just tired. But that's really a lie. Things are echoing through my mind..that's all.

Why is it that when people I know introduce me to someone else as Michael and that other person then immediately says "Oh, welcome Mike!"? I mean...I don't really care which one I am called by but it just bugs me when people are like that.

So today. I would be suffering slash recovering from an intense race if only I wasn't in Pennsylvania right now.

I really should get more sleep.

Oh. And that terrible news today about the school shootings. I will not say much about this because I know we are all thinking about it, but it is absolutely terrible. My question is, what would drive someone to do such a terrible thing?

Ok. So I have so much left to do in this college trip but reallly want to be home right now, enjoying the terrible weather with my friends instead of suffering through it with random tour guides at colleges. Why can't I just zip forward to this summer. Or better yet to my acceptance into college. Ugh. But then I'll miss some major suffering years. And if suffering=life and life=awesome, then suffering must equal awesome. And...actually...I am pretty amazingly happy right now.

I really have nothing else to say.

Peace

yay. another post

I absolutely hate my computer. It deleted the whole post which I was about to publish. FRUSTRATING. Oh well.

So basically...this last week or two....or three have been absolutely amazingly tiring. From staying up late to running a million miles, I have basically died. Oh well.

So, yeahh...today was uneventful. Went to this holocaust remembrance thingy today, and a guy talked a lot about how the United States was slowly becoming harsher and harsher toward others. Nationalism really feeds our natural desire to hurt others. The United States is becoming less of a democracy and more of a dictatorship. Now we are able to arrest ANYONE for saying ANYTHING, according to the Patriot Act. Things that threaten the government, or could possibly be perceived to threaten the government in some way are not tolerated, and people can be arrested for no reason. Oh well. Not like one person can do anything. Except that's totally not true.

On another note. The military is stupid. "Don't ask don't tell" is blatantly homophobic, and the military refuses to recognize that. You know what? What I say is that the rate of homosexuality will rise drastically if a draft is put into effect. But, seriously. I am very angered at this stupid rule.

I FINALLY FIGURED SOMETHING OUT. Wow. I'm a loser. So basically, I figured out that if you have a laser and two perpendicular mirrors, forming 90 degrees, then once you shoot the laser at the corner between the two mirrors, the laser will always shine directly back at you. I AM A MATH GENIUS. Except not. Lol.

I had an incredible race the other day. I went out fast, but not too terribly fast, and was able to like actually place and get third place with a time of 5:14 in the mile. It was probably the most exciting race of my High School career.

Oh wells. I tried to find a survey that would satisfy my survey craving, but couldn't find any, so I'll just kinda make one up

I have just listened to the most amazing song-type thing ever. Everybody's Free (to wear sunscreen) is amazing. That is what goes through my mind every day. I know it's sad. But I am constantly thinking about how something will affect me in the future. I am not taking risks. I am not doing anything that scares me. I'm gonna put this song on repeat. Oh my.

"Don't worry about the future; or worry, but know that worrying is as effective as trying to solve an algebra equation by chewing bubblegum."

brilliant.
I want to go skydiving.

I really have nothing else to write. Hopefully I will write something else soon, thoughh.

Exited to the max. Yet dead tired right noww.

I don't know what I am going to do with myself.
