rainy days

SO, as I was crawling through my everlasting day today, I had a thought. WHAT IS WITH ALL THE STUPID HOMEWORK??? Or, for that matter, work in general. I mean, school teaches us the same amount, if not less, than we would otherwise be learning by exploring the world. I guess education is important, but it is kinda overtaking the average teenager's life.

Ah, well. Today is gray. Grey if you're in Britain. But, quite dark and dreary in general. The stupid xc league meet today was so annoying, yet so exciting at the same time. We like had to make sure we didn't get washed away by the water or blown away by the wind, and, on top of that, we had to run. Fast. Or at least I was supposed to. But I didn't, and finished like further back than I normally do. 7th (or, rather 8th) out of like 150 isn't too shabby. But I can do better. I've decided that Brookline people are way too fast for their own good.

Yes, other than that and the homework, nothin much goin on. So amazingly happy for the extra hour that I get to sleep tonight (and yesss, an extra hour of homework that I have to do tomorrow).

just saw the movie "hard candy". My parents looked at the title and thought it was porn. psh. I'd rather waste my time on some intellectual movie than be stupid like that. Well, hanyways, it was quite a good (and odd) movie. I really liked it.

anyways, my parents are yelling at me to go to bed

I should probably get to bed...

Sparknotes is my Savior

So, yes. So.....yes.

what is with Junior year??? I am drowning in work and feel like I should be able to get it all done, but noooo...I have to wait for the last minute and stay up till 2 in the freaking morning to finish my lab report. I guess that's just what's gonna happen this year. And, oh wow, an English test A-block tomorrow...shall be death to me.

And, so, yes, the other day, I did a 10 miler for the first time in like a while, and the last like 2 miles were absolutely terrible. I had a horrible stomach ache, and just like ran through it, but it wasn't a good idea. So, yeah, uhm, I'll spare you the details, but something bad happened, so I had to go to the doctors, and they gave me a blood test to test for stuff, but then ended up just like saying running is absolutely terrible for your body sometimes, and this is the way things go. So, yeah, I've gotta take a few days off from running, which would be sweet, but I feel like a total slacker as it is, not doing any real significant run since Saturday. Ah, well. Rest is good.

Hmmmm....archery club, or science team. Tough decision.

uh oh, here I go with the philosophy again....
It's quite sad. In a way, I'm not the kind of person who would walk up to someone and chat with them and impress them. I want to know how they feel about me. So, yes, one of my absolutely horrible strategies to figure out what someone thinks of me is kinda ignoring them, acting like myself (ish) around them, and seeing whether they like who I am or not/how they react. Basically, I want to know how they feel about me, because asking people straight up could be awkward/lead to a forced answer. I know, it's quite a horrible way to live life, but it sometimes works. But generally doesn't. And it pretty much sucks. And I want to change, but I can't. It's all good.

Wow, why is it that teenagers think so much about this stuff when it doesn't really matter now. I mean, nothing now will really change anything in the future.

SO, yes, tomorrow=friday=good. I can't wait for the weekend. No, actually, I can't wait till I'm finished with PSATs Saturday morning. That's gonna be quite annoying.

Maybe I should go to practice tomorrow, to have something to look foreward to (yesss...track workout...only crazy people look foreward to that)

But, till then
SLEEEP

schweet, 50th post

Trip to Maine at the end of Summer

Wow, I have D block free now and am quite bored. So, I am being quite awesome and posting from school. (well, actually, just posting from home becasue the school computers are stupid and don't allow me to do things like this, but anyways, I'm writing it here)

I’ve decided that I hate frees. For the past like two years, I’ve been working like so amazingly hard. I’ve been getting mediocre grades in classes, and have always been scared that I would become one of those kids who like is horrible at school and not going to college etc, etc. Well, not to say I am one of those kids, but 6 frees per week seems very odd. It seems like I am like slacking off and not working hard enough.

*librarian walks by*

So, yes.

People have been quite frustrating in the last week. I really need to just like calm down and like stop being absolutely awkward. Wow, I hate communication. I need to realize that there's a lot more to life than thinking about it. And, wow, speaking of a life, I really need to get one. Now I'm actually trying to.

But, yeah, nothing else uber exciting. Amazing Paddy's Pub race this weekend, which I cannot wait for, even though I'm not supposed to run Sunday 'cause coach thinks it'll tire me out for the big meet Tuesday, but not like I matter in like placing at all. Ah, well. Basically, I can't wait for the weekend.

Sooo...nothin much else. Gotta do a mountainload of homework....sweet

It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah

lately nuthin much going on...same old, same old...school+running+homework=my life. Pretty sad. Ok, so now I'm just like wasting time trying to think of something to say. Hmmmmmmmm...

So, yes, my parents came home the other day from "parents night" and were all freaking out about how much work I have (and will have) this school year. Neither of my parents took many AP courses in High School (well, pretty much 'cause they like didn't offer them back then), so they were really surprised when three of my teachers told them that the AP classes I was in were the equivalent to a college course. So, all in all, quite exciting, and they like convinced my to drop Latin. Well, not really convinced, but more liked pushed me over the edge, seeing that I'm not really enjoying it anyways. So, yes, now I have at least one free every day (yesssss), and am going to have like mad time to do my homework.

Hmmm...trying to think of something meaningful...I have recently (re)discovered a few of the best songs ever, hence the title of this post, and am listening to them like non-stop. It's pretty crazy to think that I didn't really listen to music before last year, but now I'm like always carrying my ipod around everywhere. It's quite sad, now that I think about it.

But, yes, it seems to be getting more like fall now, unfortuanetely. It is way to cold. Or, at least, it is much, MUCH colder than Summertime, and I have not yet gotten myself used to the winter temperature yet. So, yeah, running in cold weather is really no fun. I guess the shirtless running season has come to a close.

It's quite odd. The way things have been going on nowadays. Sort of like...I think way too much. I think about things I shouldn't. You see, most people (especially teenagers) are going up and down hills. Lives are torn apart, then stitched back together again. Whatever happens, life will go on, and you gotta get yourself back together again. Not that I would know. Wow, the mistakes I've made which I never will forgive nor forget. But at least I know I made mistakes. That's what the future's for. Life is all about the ups and downs.



But...yeah....uhmmm...I've decided I'm quite awkward in conversation. Other than written ones. With myself. But, yeah, trying to start a conversation with anyone has been very difficult for me the past days. I've had a lot of awkward silences, and have just been coming up blank on what to talk about. SO amazingly awkward. Not that it matters. It's all good.

So, yes, maybe off to bed? An amazing load of homework (including several papers, and tests, due Tuesday). So, pretty much, other than apple-picking with teh family and, of course, running, I'm pretty much goin to do homework for the rest of my life. It's all good (wow, I say that way too often)

off to do...something...
bye

yessssss

SO....not much happening

I opted out of going to Ana's taqueria (aka, the home of the Boys Cross Country) and making a fool of myself today, so I decided to have even more fun falling on my face and gettin scratched up. My legs are so amazingly sore now that I have like killed them by slamming them into a million roots. It's all good, though. When you're running fast, you can't really feel pain.

So, yes, (wow, that's a phrase I use a lot), I have much work that I need to do in shool nowadays. Each teacher (especially my bio and spanish) is like crazy and assigns work like they are the only class we are taking. Ah well, I guess that's what comes with higher level classes.

Goin to New Hampshire for the weekend, to visit the sister and celebrate the parent's 50th birthday. Sweeet...I may even be able to learn how to water-ski.

Ok, so I saw the Al Gore movie on global warming the other day. It had some interesting points, and brought up global warming in like a whole new light. The one thing that sticks in my mind about that movie though, was one reference to the ozone hole. He said that when we realized that we were depleting our ozone, we all worked together and fixed the problem, and now the ozone hole is getting smaller. I think that the idea that global warming can be fixed is a very, very important idea to put into people's minds. If you hand one person an article about how the globe is getting warmer and warmer, and, basically, that we're screwed for what we have done, that person isn't going to want to help the situation; instead they'll just ignore it because the problem is "unfixable". On the other hand, if you give someone an article about new techniques and ways to live more efficiently and cleanly, the person will be more likely to make a change in their life to fix the problem. SO, basically, global warming should be approached as a fixable problem, not a disaster which we created.

Ok, so, global warming=a very odd topic, but whatevs. Studying it in Bio.

Speaking of bio, I have an absolutely enormous test tomorrow on several chapters, so I should probably start studying for that.

This has been quite a sad, short, random post.
it's all good.
bye

time to do something

Very uneventful, very boring, yet very exciting week. Soo much school/homework! I haven't gotten enough sleep at all, seeing that I've been up til like 11 at least pretty much every night this week. But, yeah, I guess that's the cost of being a hard-working student

Cross Country is at its most awesome nowadays…I’m getting better and better at it, which is awesome. I like am like addicted to running. It’s really funny, cause running is like really hard to do, and it like puts you in a lot of pain (if your like pushing yourself super-hard), and I think one of the biggest motivators to run isn’t the running itself, but to say that you went through that much, and went that far of a distance. I don’t know. It’s pretty crazy awesome.

But, yes, in other news, I have decided I’ve gotta ski a lot more this winter. I’m like addicted to skiing as much as running, except, with skiing, the stakes are higher. Good thing I’m in control most of the time. But, yeah, I’m most likely goin to go on one of those overnight weekend trips the school sponsors. Once I realize that summer is over, I might get more excited about winter. I hate fall. A season of remembering past warmth and happiness, yet looking forward to the winter, which you know can never be good as summer. Wow, not makin sense. Whatevs.

Classes are pretty crazy awesome. Bio is like very intense, seeing that (I think) I’m taking the same level bio as my sister who is a frosh in college. But, the only thing is I have five other classes to deal with, instead of two or three. Intense like 20-page-long textbook readings, and late-night work is basically the definition for this class. At least for me it is.

I want to make one of those mural thingies to put up in the school for photo. I’ve already thought it out- some sort of mosaic-type board with cool pictures that make a cool (abstract) picture if you step back. I think I should probably get permission from somebody, or maybe BE IN A PHOTO CLASS to begin with, but whatevs. Ah, well… I probably won’t get around to it.

And, yes, that is basically the boring life of Michael. Went to the zoo with the fam today. Worked on some homework. That’s basically how my life rolls. Should probably be motivated to be a little more, but whatevs. I have mastered the art of talking to people without saying anything (if that makes any sense), but I freakin hate it. As my English teacher from last year (and this year, eww) has said, “language is power”. Too bad I’m pretty much powerless.

Got to stop thinking too much. That’s the first problem I have to solve.

Off to some homework…byebye y’all

I'm never sure what to write here

So, yes, everything this week is going by so fast. Started school on Thursday, quite some stress. And, yeah, xc...prettty cool too.

We have our first meet on Tuesday of next week, which shall be exciting. Varsity and JV are running seperate, so I'm a little nervious that I'll be like dead last on Varsity, even though I've been like in the middle of the pack on the long runs. We shall see, we shall see. I get scared like that sometimes. But, yeah, plus I'm gonna try to make it to some of the girls volleyball home games cause, I mean, it's a tradition now. Other than that, I'll try to make it to a few of the girls (and possibly boys) soccer games, cause someone crazy good at soccer who sits next to me in Math has been on Varsity since like Freshmen year. Plus, I've never made it to any of the Varsity soccer games, so I figure I might as well.

But, yeah, semi-excited for school...I don't know like anyone in my classes, but whatevs, I'll get to know them.

But, yeah, running out of things to say.....don't really feel like thinking a horrible amount, so maybe a survey without being too revealishing?

time to do some homework



on a Friday night

this week

Ok, so I am so freaking tired, but that's the only time I can actually think.

This week is intense. From running to the grandparents coming over to the intense work I had to do studying and pricing thousands of coins...I've been quite buisy.

Went to the MFA today with the grandparents. Very good exhibit there about like Paris and Europe. Twas quite interesting. I've decided that the power in art is not in the looks, it is how we look at it. Just as song lyrics can be so amazing and become a part of your life only becuase you relate them to your life, art is amazing because of the way we look at it. Art is in how we look at it, not how glamorous it is. Wow, not making sense.

So, yes, not much else to say. This week will most likely be just as buisy.

AP classes are frustratingly evil.

I've lately been saying such stupid things. I've been doing things like going on long runs, and I compare the chances of me not being able to finish my run to the chances of something else...for example...whether I'll make Varsity or not. I've become like obsessive with this, though, because I sometimes have the feeling like in the middle of me doing twenty pushups, or me walking down the street that if I do not finish doing that, there is the same chance that I will not be able to make varsity...or get someone's attention. I get stuck in these ruts, and it affects me on the other end too. I end up (seeing that I've successfully finished the runs, and successfully done all the pushups) assuming that if I could do those things, I would be able to easily make varsity. It's quite sad in a way. Puts everything into statistics, and doesn't let you have any control over your life. This sort of forces me not to take action in life...for it sort of shows my belief in that I think everything is decided before it happens. I'm freakin insane. Maybe I just think I am.

Here's to life.

goodnight

screw the pictures

So, yes, the end of the pictures. At least until I get back to school.

So, yeah, life is frustrating.

Enough talk about life. Seems like that's the only thing I can talk about nowadays. I started Cross Country the other day, which is mad crazy awesome. I don't even know how I survived this past week. I didn't even like running before high school. As a matter of fact, I think I still have that negative feeling towards running, but I've learned to deal with it. You see, running in general is kinda like the run that I did the other day. I was like about to collapse for the first mile and a half on an seven mile run, and I pretty much felt like I was going to die, but then was oddly able to run like wicked fast during the second half of the run.

Ah, well...I hate..love...I don't know what I think of running. Whatever I think, I'm most definetely addicted to it.

Soo...with the start of xc means the start of school. I'm going to die this year. But, no, that's not a good way to look at it. As I told someone today right before we went on our 1 and a half mile sprints today, "the worst part about it is dreading it. Actually doing it is pretty easy." So, yes, don't dread school, and you won't have any problems.

And, yeah, I don't really have anything else to sayyy....

goodnight

I'll punch my computer if you don't read this

Again, my grandparents house

not that exciting this time

So, yes, I felt the sudden urge to punch my computer, but I didn't. I don't even know why. Hmmmm....anger control..... Just, like, frustrated with life in general these days. Maybe because I can't change life, I try to see how much damage and change I can make in this world. I don't know. Just a thought.

I've been addicted to this song all week. "How to Save a Life" by The Fray. Amazing lyrics, and, with all songs that top my list, has lyrics that I can connect with my life somehow. Maybe I just think too much.

Quite an uneventful week.

Biked to the Farmer's market today with my sister...twas fun.

(warning, Michael's random thinking coming up)

It's funny. How people have been riding on the wave of people's emotions and needs. That might not make that much sense, and so might this next paragraph, but take, for example, the Pope. Not to single out one person over another, but how can he tie religion and monetary gain so closely together? How does he know what he says he believes? Has he ever seen what happens after we die? What I'm trying to say is that we shouldn't trust anyone to tell us what to believe. Aren't we just as able to make decisions about what to believe as he is? You see, what if Jesus wasn't the son of god, if he was just a person. Just a person trying to better his world. Part of religion is believing that we go somewhere in the afterlife, but he taught us that there are certain things that we must do to get there. It is the perfect formula, even if he had no idea where we go after this life, to better this world. (and, actually, just before his birth, the world was pretty chaotic and violent) Anybody could use this leverage, the leverage that they know more than you do, and make you do something for a different cause than you thought. (After all, look at George Bush. He said he knew for sure there were weapons of Mass destruction in Iraq, in order to get the people's push toward war)

I have no idea what I just said, so if you don't either, then that makes two of us.

Time to go to beeeedddddddd

bye.

ALASKA

so, yeah, that was basically how much fun I had in Alaska (along with showing my horrible photography)

really don't want to post right now

so I won't

Ah, well, long story short, I've had a frustratingly boring (not to mention annoying) night. Been to Alaska and back. Then to Pennslyvania and back. And it all seems like one moment. One moment that I had been waiting for a year in advance. One moment that lasts a summer long. But, now, on to better things. Cross Country. What else do I have to say. Running is mad crazy awesome, but that's barely any of it. It's an awesome bunch of kids, and I can't wait to hang out with them.

But, yes, that is the least of my life right now. I have a frustratingly long Bio paper to write, then I have an immense amount of boring Latin to read, then it's off to Maine for the weekend, then it's off to school. Fun,fun.

If you didn't notice, those last two funs were serious. dead. serious. Happy doesn't quite express my feelings for the termination of this summer. I'm exstatic. The faster time goes, the faster I'll be over with Junior year. I'm hoping to just skid over the surface of Junior year, launching myself into safe territory, Summer (and, of course, Senior year). Then it's off to College for me. (oooohhhh the mysterious college, could be fun, could be evil. Shall we never know till we're there?)

I'm in a really weird mood.

Tata

(I have an obsession with biting pencils)

so, yes, I was planning on posting a while ago, but so freakingly insanely buisy with life. Goin to the Red Sox toonight...which shall be fun. Every game I go to, I either catch a foul ball or am on the megatron, so the games are always exciting.

But, yes, I'm afraid I have posted just for the sake of posting, seeing that I don't have like anything to say.

So, yes,

bye.

back (for the time)

(yet again, my sister)

sweeeet....NY for a week, then the New Jersey coast for like a week. Quite awesome.

So, like, July 4th was absolutely awesome too....I was doing a mission-trip thingy with my church youth group on Staten Island, and we woke up at like 5:30 to go in to the city and get on the Today Show, which was absolutely sweet, since I was like on tv like a million times.

That trip was just insanely awesome in general, though. The last night, there were five of us that pulled an "all-nighter". It was absolutely insane, because the lack of sleep throughout the week added up, and by the end of the night, we all seemed totally drunk, and were talking about totally random things, and like slurring our words (well, only one of us was slurring our words). It was an amazing experience.

Then, I went to New Jersey. I caught a ton of fish, but unfortuanetely, they were too small for us to eat. Boogy boarding and body surfing were really cool, though. Avalon is pretty much one of the richest areas I have ever seen, and they have some quite massive houses with an insane amount of expensive cars and such. Let's see, I saw at least three Bentlys, like five Rolls Royces, and like a million Jaguars. Our Toyota highlander was a little out of place.

And, yes, one may ask, how did I have time for running through all of this. I didn't. And that's why I'm totally screwed. But it's all good.

And so, yes, I am here now, and am pretty much ready to fall asleep after about nine hours of driving. We were (unintentionally) following a storm up the coast while we were driving home, and it was supposedly creating tornadoes. Crossing like a random river in NJ, I saw like a million branches that were ripped off trees, and like three docks that were ripped off and turned upside-down by a tornado. It was pretty freaky.

And so, I shall get some sleep now.

Bye

Ok, don't have time to actually post, but I just found the three most hilarious movies in the world. here they are (watch them in this order, the first one has a different taste than the rest)

http://70.85.12.163/albino_flash02/end(www.albinoblacksheep.com).swf

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j5TswjQDLf8&eurl

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vaFm47lsL2g&eurl

okey dokey, time to go



cheers!

My grandparents' house

soo cool

and soo confusing

So I'm off to a youth group trip on Monday. That shall be quite cool...off to Staten Island...pretty coolio. Not totally sure what to expect, since the details are a little fuzzy, but whatever happens, it'll be a good experience.

In other news, I decided to go biking today. When I say biking, I mean BIKING. I spent the whole day biking into Boston, then around Boston, had some lunch, explored, then finally back home. Pretty much about 25 miles in total....COOLIO. My legs were a bit fatigued afterward. I like collapsed on my couch, but then went out to play a little volleyball later. What can I say? I just have endless energy. In any case, I try to never admit that I'm tired (even if I am).

So, yes, my right toe has officially worn through the bottom of my shoe. Very odd happening, seeing that I like just got these shoes, and the left one seems just fine. Hmmmmm....maybe I walk crooked.(?)

Just finished Rent. Such a good movie. Closest I've come to crying in a while (yes, I do [sometimes] cry from movies). It's those movies when you feel like you have some connection to that make them seem so good.

Songs are much coooooler, though. To be able to move somebody through lyrics and notes takes more skills than inveloping someone in the plot of a movie. Now I'm like obsessed with the song "Crazy", by Gnarls Barkley. Such good use of instruments, plus some interesting lyrics.

But, yeah, that pretty much wraps it up here. Such a boring (and amazingly unplanned) week to come. Maybe I can fill it with the things I've always waited to do. We'll see.

bye.

time to post

What is it? It's...something cool.

But, yeah, nothing new here. Just went to my LAST DAY OF SCHOOL. Got all my final scores. Crashed and burned. You know, the norm.

Heading off to go camping in a few days. (wow, actually, like, tomorrow!!!). Shall be interesting. Hope I don't get eaten by a bear.

OH YEAH, and I'm obsessed with this new song by Five for Fighting, called "The Riddle". It's mad crazy awesome, and everyone should get it.

Then it's off to Alaska. Spain would be much more cooler (and hotter), but my parents refuse to go, even though my graduating sister requested it.

Ah well, life is tough sometimes. The only thing that makes it tougher is thinking about it.

I shall be a Junior. Crazy, crazy.

more to come...

back to the pictures

(this one's pretty straight-foreward)


It's finally here. You know, I'll be posting about this for the next three months. It's finally summer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm still in shock.
I have like...all the time in the world to do....everything (but I'll end up doing nothing)

I went after my last final (yay) to develop some photos, and it turns out I was doing it for like two hours. It was soooo fun. I managed to come up with four prints in those two hours (wow, I'm soooooo sloooowww), but I'm most definetly going to go tomorrow too (even though I'm not even going to be in school at all).

Today, went to the cemetary to give my frog friend in my backyard pond a few friends. I got a few awkward looks from the security guard, but it was all good. Three brand new (huge) tadpoles in my little backyard pond now. Coooooolll...

Then I came home and had the most awkward conversation on the phone...but then I went to Volleyball at the Y and BEASTED. It was crazy awesome (not to mention fun...yes, volleyball [finally] is fun)

listening to "Beautiful Love". Such an amazing song. Cool music video tooo...

Mwahhhh soo annoying... I've been looking foreward to this moment for soooo long, but now I know it'll be gone before I have time to really enjoy it. This Summer hurries to next year. High School hurries to College, 20's hurry to 40's. There's nothing you can do to stop it. When I was about 12, I began thinking, no matter what, we all are going to end up in the same place. Sort of scary, no matter how hard you try, no matter how strong you are, you can't escape that fate. So, why are we so scared of it if we can't avoid it? I guess it's the fear of not knowing what's around the corner. Ah well...

So, that's my philisophic thinking for the day.

I'm pretty tired, but seeing that I don't have school tomorrow, I can SLEEP IN!!!! Sweet. Can't think of anything else to write...so

bye

Sooooo...

It's finally SUMMMMMEEEERRRR

I've been waiting the whole year for this day (even though I still have a history final to take).

But today was such a miserable failure. I hate "scantron" tests, and I think I like failed my chem test. The Latin wasn't that hard, though. The hardest part was sitting through Ms. Carp lecturing/yelling at us. It was all fun, though. So, I think I did pretty well on that.

Today was super-hot. low 80's today, mid-to-high 80's tomorrow, and 90's on Sunday. So freaking seasonal. I love it.

Goin to the beach (hopefully) tomorrow. Then, next thing to look foreward to is goin back to school Thursday to see all my friends again. Then off to Summer it is.



I cant wait.

really buisy

I gotta make this short, as I have two really tough finals tomorrow, one of which I haven't started studying for. So, yeah, like the past week has been so stressfull. This week, I've been saying to myself "you did the best you could" a lot. I usually promise myself that I'll do better next time, but I always end up doing worse. So, long story short, I think I didn't do too well on a few of my finals. Actually, I don't think I did great on any of them. I guess it shows my attitude that I've had this year... "I'll do better next time". Soooo....Chem and Latin tomorrow. I've gotta do well on them.

More to come later
