Free pancakes...

the title says it all day after promotion me and jon go out for pancakes at ihop. they were giving out free short stacks all day. sounds like a goo idea dont it, no way in hell. See free food is always good, but not right before practice. got my ass whooped in randori by pretty much everyone there. i dont think im going out for food before practice anytime soon.

Today's practice was allright. taught the newbs how to throw and all that. but now because of them we have to do fires tomorrow. thank you so much assholes.

Till next time people

Promotion...

I honestly can't believe my mom's reaction. She was so stoked that coach Glenn actually gave me my green belt. Yes people i do have a life outside of my computer screen. Anyway it took two years for me to get it and i honestly haven't really wrapped my head around it. Really to me i see it as a great accomplishment, but i also see it as a wake up call. I really need to stop being so lazy about everything around me. I dont remember where i heard the saying but i will never forget the message behind it. "Change will only happen when you decide to take the reigns of your own destiny." I'm through with being a slacker, although it was really fun. Now is not the time to be tapering off. The home stretch is within sight and i know for sure that i will make it to the top.

Procrastination...

It seems as if i've lost the vigor i once had. My passion for my work is now gone and all that is left is a desire to do nothing. i dont seem to recall when this transformation took place but all i know is that i need to regain my perseverance.

wow i sound so smart in those last three sentences. well anyway just thought i would update this because i keep forgetting. Here's some of the stuff thats been going down in my life:

-Judo started back up
-finished a website for class only to have it rejected because of my partner
-got lectured and then apologized to by the same person in 24 hours
-got 5 chapters behind in AP world History
-Threw a 180 pound wrestler on a lucky uchimata ^^
-shipped a robot that was half complete
-stayed at school past 8 PM
-decided to join marching band next year
-threw a pie at my teacher's face
-read a 300+ page book in one day
-fell asleep in almost every class
-Found someone who actually matters
-went diving with friends at kamaole III
-Yelled "save the whales" out of a car window
-gave someone the nickname "sex appeal"

just some of the stuff thats happened in the past week or so
Peace out people

she just left...

today was friday the 13th and oddly enough the next day was valentines day. i knew i wasnt going to see sherron tomorrow so i was hoping to make up for it today. but it seemed like no matter what i did it felt like there was a wall between us. i saw her during recess and she barely acknowledged my existence. called her during lunch and didnt answer her phone. called her after school and i found out that she went home earlier than normal. things have been going fine, i dont know whats wrong. she really means alot to me and i hope everything is okay. we always meet after school but what made today different. maybe im just overthinking things again... but i cant help but worry.

i keep forgetting

i have this blog and i barely ever use it. alot has been going on but ill mosve on to this past weekend. i had the opporotunity to go back to camp RYLA for a second year. RYLA is a leadership camp put on by the Rotary Clubs all over the world. Each district holds its own cam where they teach leadership skills to juniors and sophomores. this time though instead of learning, it was my job to help teach them how to be effective leaders in the community. going back gave me a whole new perspective on what i learned last year. i made so many new friends who i hope i can still keep in touch with, and overall the experience was one that i wont soon forget.

why am i up?

yesterday was a really long day for me. long but in the end it ended up alright. i cant seem to find sleep anymore. the rain woke me up. i've tried but nothing seems to work. what's keeping me up? and why do i feel so anxious? i dont really understand it but im not gonna fight it. i should be using this time to do work but since when do i ever do what im supposed to. its still raining... i have class in a few hours. maybe ill take an umbrella, and meet her outside in the rain
