THE LAST POST OF MY 20'S

WOW... JUST WOW... CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT THIS IS REALLY GOING TO BE THE VERY LAST POST OF MY 20'S... IM TURNING 30 IN A MATTER OF DAYS AND AND ONCE I HIT THAT MARK, ITS GOING TO BE A WHOLE NEW BALL GAME... I CANT BELIEVE ANOTHER DECADE HAS PASSED BY AND IM GOING TO ENTER A NEW CATEGORY... IT STILL REALLY HASNT HIT ME YET, OR MAYBE IT HASNT SUNK IN YET, BUT I DONT THINK IT WOULD AFFECT ME THAT MUCH. I MEAN, EVERYTHING IS THE SAME BUT THE MAJOR THING NOW IS, WHEN I SAY MY AGE THERES NO "TWENTY" INFRONT OF IT. NOW ITS A "THIRTY." TO ME IT FEELS JUST LIKE ANY OTHER DAY, BUT EVERYONE WILL MAKE A BIG DEAL OF IT. THERS SO MUCH I WANT TO WRITE ABOUT THIS BUT IM TIRED... LETS SEE HOW FAR I GET BEFORE I PASS OUT LOL. LOOKING BACK, THE PAST 10 YEARS REALLY WENT BY QUITE FAST. IT REALLY DID SEEM LIKE YESTERDAY THAT I WAS STILL IN CLASS AT LANGARA AND SFU. OR IT SEEMS LIKE YESTERDAY THAT I STARTED A REAL JOB... EVERYTHING SEEMS LIKE YESTERDAY AT THIS POINT, PARTIALLY BECAUSE IT IS... BUT JUST BECAUSE IM FEELING NOSTALGIC. FORGET ABOUT TURNING 30... THIS BLOG ITSELF IS ALMOST 5 YEARS OLD... THINKING ABOUT, IVE BEEN BLOGGING FOR ALMOST HALF A DECADE... TIME REALLY DOES FLY. LOOKING BACK, IM REALLY NOT THAT SAME PERSON I WAS 10 YEARS AGO. IVE GROWN (OBVIOUSLY) AND CHANGED IN EVERY WAY POSSIBLE, AND IVE LEARNED A LOT IN MY 30 YEARS ON EARTH, MUCH IVE LEARNED IN THE PAST 10 YEARS. FORGET ABOUT THE THINGS YOU LEARN IN ELEMENTARY AND HIGH SCHOOL. THAT STUFF IS CHILDS PLAY AND EVERYONE GOES THROUGH IT. IM TALKING ABOUT LIFE LESSONS AND EVERYTHING ELSE. INSTEAD OF JUST TELLING YOU WHAT IVE DONE, WHICH I ALREADY DO ON THIS BLOG, IM GOING TO TELL YOU SOME OF THE THINGS IVE LEARNED THE PAST 10 YEARS. I TRULY BELIEVE IN THEM AND IVE WRITTEN ABOUT SOME OF THEM IN THE PAST, BUT HERE IT IS, MY LIFE LESSONS THAT I HAVE LEARNED THE PAST 10 YEARS (IN NO PARTICULAR ORDER):

1. PATIENCE / GIVING A FUCK

LIFE HAS TAUGHT ME THAT SOMETIMES YOU NEED TO BE PATIENT AND GIVE A FUCK, WHILE AT OTHER TIMES PATIENCE DOESNT EXIST AND YOU REALLY DONT GIVE A FUCK. I THINK BECAUSE OF LIFE AND EVERYONE AND EVERYTHING I HAVE TO DEAL WITH, IM A MORE PATIENT MAN, BUT AT THE SAME TIME IM LESS PATIENT WHEN IT COMES TO BULLSHIT. YOU JUST HAVE TO READ THE SITUATION, AND WHEN YOU NEED TO, CARE ABOUT IT. WHEN YOU DONT, THEN DONT EVEN BOTHER. A LOT OF TIME ITS JUST A BIG WASTE OF EFFORT AND ENERGY, SO JUST DONT EVEN BOTHER. YOU WILL BE HAPPIER FOR HAVING DONE SO. TIME IS MONEY!!!

2. NOT ENOUGH TIME

FUNNY HOW THAT LEAD INTO THIS. ITS TRUE, YOU REALLY NEVER HAVE ENOUGH TIME. I ALWAYS HAVE SOMETHING I WANT TO DO, BUT NEVER HAVE ENOUGH TIME FOR IT. BY THE TIME I WANT TO DO IT, EITHER ITS TOO LATE OR IT JUST DOESNT WORK. BETWEEN SLEEPING, EATING, WORKING, AND WHATEVER ELSE, THERE REALLY ISNT ENOUGH HOURS IN A DAY TO DO WHAT ELSE YOU WANT TO DO. SO USE YOUR TIME WISELY. 

3. ALWAYS HAVE A PLAN / GOAL

I HAVE ALWAYS HAD A PLAN... SORTA... I KNEW WHAT I WANTED TO DO AND PLANNED FOR IT. WE ALL KNOW THAT PLANS RARELY WORK OUT THE WAY IT IS SUPPOSE TO. YOU ALWAYS NEED A PLAN, IF YOUR PLAN DOESNT SUCCEED THE FIRST TIME, THEN TRY TRY TRY AGAIN. ITS SIMILAR TO THE ROADS POST, WHERE LIFE HAS MANY PATHS FOR YOU TO TAKE. JUST BECAUSE ONE PATH DOESNT WORK OTU, DOESNT MEAN YOU SHOULD GIVE UP. ALWAYS HAVE A BACK UP PLAN. ALWAYS HAVE SOME SORT OF GOAL, SOMETHING LIKE A FINISH LINE. NEVER STOP GROWING AND IMPROVING. HAVING THAT GOAL MOTIVATES YOU, MAKES YOU DETERMINED TO KEEP GOING, IT PUSHES YOU TO DO BETTER AND BE BETTER. ALWAYS STRIVE FOR MORE, NEVER SETTLE.

4. LOVE / RELATIONSHIP

YOU CANT FORCE THESE THINGS, WHEN ITS RIGHT AND WORKS, IT WORKS. WHEN ITS WRONG, THEN IT JUST WONT WORK NO MATTER HOW HARD YOU WANT IT TO. PEOPLE DO STUPID THINGS IN THEM... JUST DO YOUR PART AND IF IT DOESNT WORK OUT, AT LEAST YOU KNOW THAT YOU DID ALL YOU CAN AND IT JUST WASNT MEANT TO BE. YOU REALLY GET WHAT YOU PUT IN. NEVER DESTROY OR BURN BRIDGES, BECAUSE YOU WILL NEVER KNOW WHO AND WHEN YOU WILL NEED THEIR HELP.

5. DO WHAT MAKES YOU HAPPY

DO WHAT MAKE YOU HAPPY. IF YOU WANT TO DO SOMETHING THEN DO IT, WHO CARES WHAT PEOPLE MIGHT THINK, ITS YOUR LIFE SO LIVE IT THE WAY YOU WANT. DO THE THINGS YOU WANT. BE THE WAY YOU WANT. YOU WILL NEVER MAKE EVERYONE HAPPY, SO HONESTLY WHY BOTHER... MAKE YOURSELF HAPPY, BECAUSE IN THE END ITS ALL ABOUT YOURSELF ANYWAYS.

6. IT WILL ALL WORK OUT... SOMEHOW

STOP WORRYING!!! WHATEVER YOUR PROBLEM IS, IN THE END, SOMEHOW... EVENTUALLY... INEVITABLY... IT WILL ALL WORK OUT. THE UNIVERSE SOMEHOW ALWAYS DOES. JUST LOOK AT ME!!! EVERYTHING SOMEHOW ENDED UP ALRIGHT. IT MIGHT SEEM TOUGH RIGHT NOW, AND THERES NO LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL, BUT JUST KEEP GOING, NEVER GIVE UP, I MADE IT AND SO WILL YOU.

7. MOTTOS - "NO PAIN, NO GAIN" "LIVE WITH NO REGRETS" "EVERYTHING HAPPENS FOR A REASON"

THESE ARE WHAT I LIVE BY. SOME TIE INTO OTHERS BUT STILL HAVE TO SAY IT. NOTHING EVER WORTH DOING WAS EASY... IF IT WAS THEN EVERYONE WOULD BE DOING IT AND THEN WHAT WOULD THE POINT BE... THATS WHY IF ITS WORTH IT, THEN DO IT. PAIN IS ONLY TEMPORARY. LIFE IS TOO SHORT FOR REGRETS, SO JUST GO FOR WHAT YOU WANT AND DO IT. SURE I PROBABLY HAVE A FEW, BUT MOSTLY I DONT HAVE ANY. IVE DONE WHAT I WANTED, WHEN I WANTED. IN LIFE YOU REALLY DONT KNOW WHAT WILL HAPPEN, OR WHY SOMETHING HAPPENS. IN THE WHOLE SCHEME OF THINGS EVERYTHING HAPPENS FOR A REASON. YOU MIGHT NOT UNDERSTAND IT, OR WANT IT, OR EVEN AGREE WITH IT, BUT IT ALL HAPPENS FOR A REASON. IT WILL BECOME CLEAR SOONER OR LATER. 

THERE IS A TON OF OTHER THINGS I COULD WRITE ABOUT BUT I HONESTLY THINK THESE ARE THE TOP ONES. IVE LEARNED A LOT AND CHANGED A LOT IN THE PAST 10 YEARS. NOW THINKING ABOUT IT, I WONDER WHAT THE NEXT 10 WILL BE LIKE. IT SEEMS LIKE A FAR AWAY DREAM RIGHT NOW, BUT WHEN I WAS 20... SO WAS 30... AND THAT CAME IN A BLINK OF AN EYE. 

MY ORIGINAL DUE DATE THAT I GAVE MYSELF OF 1 YEAR IS BASICALLY UP. I DID A LOT TO ACHIEVE THAT GOAL, BUT IT JUST WASNT ENOUGH AT THIS TIME. I HAD A FEW SET BACKS BUT THESE ARENT EXCUSE. IM STILL PLANNING TO CONTINUE THAT GOAL, BUT INSTEAD OF A YEAR ITS LOOKING MORE LIKE 2 OR 3 YEARS TO ACHIEVE. 

COME TO THINK OF IT... A LARGE PORTION OF MY 20'S I WAS STILL IN SOME KIND OF SCHOOL. IT WAS ONLY THE LATER HALF OF MY 20'S THAT I STARTED WORKING. MY 20'S I MET PEOPLE, I LOST PEOPLE, I GAINED PEOPLE, AND I FORGOT ABOUT PEOPLE. I TRAVELLED, I PLAYED, I ATE, AND I ENJOYED. I LEARNED A LOT ABOUT MYSELF, ABOUT WHAT IM MADE OF, WHAT IM CAPABLE OF, AND WHAT I TRULY THOUGHT AND FELT. IF I COULD DO IT ALL OVER AGAIN WOULD IT? I WOULD PROBABLY HAVE CHANGED A FEW THINGS, BUT FOR THE MOST PART... I AM THE WAY I AM NOW, AND I AM WHO I AM BECAUSE OF IT ALL, SO IM GOING TO SAY NO. THIS IS EXACTLY HOW I AM SUPPOSE TO BE. 

I REALLY WONDER WHATS IN STORE FOR ME IN MY 30'S... THIS IS MOST DEFINITELY GOING TO BE DIFFERENT. I GUESS IL LET YOU ALL KNOW HOW IT FEELS NEXT WEEK. 

GOODBYE TO MY 20'S. SEE YOU ALL IN MY 30'S

GOING TO SLEEP NOW...

THIS IS GOING TO BE A SAD SAD POST... SAD IN THE SENSE THAT ITS GOING TO BE SHORT AND REALLY NOT ABOUT ANYTHING. I HAD A FEW TOPICS BUT TOO LAZY AND TIRED TO WRITE ABOUT IT.

SO THERE WAS JUST ONE THING... ITS ALMOST CHRISTMAS AND THAT MEANS NEW YEARS IS AROUND THE CORNER. WHEN PEOPLE MAKE NEW YEAR RESOLUTIONS OR GOALS TO REACH, I ALWAYS FIND IT FUNNY. FUNNY HOW THEY ALL WANT TO START IT ON JANUARY 1. THAT DATE IS SO ARBITRARY. I MEAN IT DOESNT REALLY MATTER WHEN YOU START, YOU COULD EVEN START THE DAY YOU DECIDED TO START IT. PEOPLE JUST WANT TO THINK THAT THEY CAN DO IT SO THEY GIVE THEMSELVES TIME TO PREPARE AND START, BUT IN THE MEAN TIME THEY WANT TO KEEP DOING WHAT THEY ARE DOING... IF YOU REALLY WANTED A CHANGE OR SOMETHING YOU CAN DO IT ANY DAY!!! EVERYDAY IS JUST ANOTHER DAY. THERES NOTHING SPECIAL ABOUT NEW YEAR, ITS JUST ANOTHER DAY. 

ANYWAYS WORKS STILL AS BUSY AS EVER AND WITH ALL THIS RAIN ITS CAUSING HELL WITH TONS OF PLACES. SOMETHING SOMETHING SOMETHING... BLA BLA BLA. SCREW IT!!! IM GOING TO SLEEP!!!

ITS A SMALL WORLD AFTER ALL

1ST OFF I WANT TO SAY THAT THIS IS POST #200!!! HOLY CRAP!!! I CANT BELIEVE IVE MADE IT THIS FAR... EVERY WEEK WITHOUT FAIL FOR ALMOST 4 YEARS... ITS BEEN WONDERFUL CRAZY WEIRD RIDE, AND DONT WORRY THERES ONLY MORE TO COME LOL. NOW BACK ON TOPIC :)

HONESTLY VANCOUVER IS SO SMALL... YOU CAN REALLY BUMP INTO ANYONE ANYWHERE ANYTIME. ALSO, IT SEEMS LIKE EVERYONE KNOWS EVERYONE, OR AT LEAST YOU KNOW SOMEONE WHO KNOWS THAT SOMEONE. ITS BOTH A GOOD THING AND A BAD THING. IVE FOUND MYSELF MEETING SOME REALLY INTERESTING PEOPLE WHO IVE BECOME FRIENDS WITH AND RECONNECTING WITH PEOPLE I ONCE KNEW OR PEOPLE I BARELY KNOW. TAKE RECENTLY, JUST THE OTHER WEEK I BUMPED INTO AN OLD HIGH SCHOOL CLASSMATE THAT I PROBABLY ONLY BUMPED INTO A HANDFUL OF TIMES IN THE PAST 10 YEARS SINCE WE GRADUATED, YES... NOW YOU KNOW HOW OLD I AM LOL. EVERYTIME WEVE BUMPED INTO EACH OTHER IT WAS JUST A HI HOW ARE YOU, GOOD SEEING YOU TYPE OF SITUATION. THIS TIME IT WAS DIFFERENT, WE ENDED UP CATCHING UP A BIT AND NOW IVE FOUND MYSELF TALKING TO THEM REGULARLY. THE FUNNY PART IS WE NEVER REALLY TALKED TO EACH OTHER IN HIGH SCHOOL AT ALL. A SIDENOTE IS THAT WHEN I WAS IN HIGH SCHOOL I WAS ACTUALLY LOUD... LIKE REALLY LOUD... AND NOW IM PRETTY QUIET... THE ALL CAPSLOCK THROWS YOU OFF EHH LOL. BACK THEN WAS LOUD AND I GUESS YOU CAN SAY INTERESTING, AND NOW IM MORE SOCIAL, NOT TO SAY I WAS NEVER SOCIAL, IM JUST MORE CONTROLLED I WOULD SAY. DONT GET ME WRONG I CAN STILL BE LOUD AS HELL AND IF YOU EVER COME TO ONE OF MY SOCCER OR FOOTBALL GAMES OR BE I THE CITY OF WHERE IM PLAYING YOU CAN HEAR ME HAHA. IM THE TYPE OF GUY THAT LIKES TO KEEP IN TOUCH WITH EVERYONE, WHEREVER ANYONE ENDS UP I WILL ALWAYS MAKE THE TIME TO TRY TO CATCH UP WITH EVERYONE. SOME OF MY FRIENDS THINK ITS WEIRD... THAT IF PEOPLE ARENT IN YOUR LIFE WHY DO YOU PURPOSELY REACH OUT? I JUST FIND IT INTERESTING AND WANT TO SEE HOW PEOPLE ARE. IM INTERESTING IN PEOPLES STORIES AND WHERE THEYVE BEEN. SORTA WENT OFF TOPIC BUT ANYWAYS... SO VANCOUVER IS SMALL!!! I MEAN... A WHILE BACK ONE OF MY BUDDY WAS GOING OUT WITH A GIRL THAT LIVED ON THE ISLAND, THE SMALL WORLD PART IS THAT THE GIRL AND I BOTH WENT TO THE SAME CAMP, SAME YEAR, SAME INTAKE, SAME GROUP ABOUT 8 YEARS PRIOR TO THAT AND THE FACT IS THAT WE BOTH RECOGNIZED EACH OTHER!!! ITS NOT EVEN IN THE CITY AND STILL MANAGED TO HAVE SOME SORT OF CONNECTION ACROSS THE WATER. IF YOU THINK THATS A SMALL WORLD CHECK THIS OUT. WHEN I WENT ON VACATION WITH THE FAMILY TO CHINA 8 YEARS AGO, I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE ON THE OUTSKIRTS OF THE CITIES ON THE SIDE ROADS AND SOMEONE COMES UP TO ME AND ASKS IF IM RICKY... TOOK ME A SECOND BUT THEN I REALIZED WE WERE BOTH IN THE SAME CHINESE CLASS TOGETHER YEARS AGO AND ITS BEEN YEARS SINCE I SAW THEM, AND WE NEVER EVEN TALKED TO EACH OTHER IN CLASS!!! THE SAME THING HAPPENED IN HONG KONG WHERE IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE I BUMPED INTO ANOTHER FRIEND FROM VANCOUVER... OUT OF 7 MILLION PEOPLE IN HONG KONG, I AM ABLE TO BUMP INTO THE ONE PERSON THAT I KNEW FROM HOME AND ITS IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE. THINK ABOUT IT... THE TIMING HAS TO BE SO RIGHT FOR YOU TO BE ABLE TO BE WHERE YOU ARE TO BUMP INTO THAT PERSON AT EXACTLY WHERE YOU WERE. THE WORLD IS SO SMALL... IT DOESNT MATTER WHERE I GO WHETHER THE STATES, EUROPE, ASIA... OUT OF 7 BILLION OTHER PEOPLE I WILL STILL BE ABLE TO BUMP INTO SOMEONE I KNOW FROM HOME. THE BAD PART OF IT ALL IS YOU CANT GET AWAY... I REALLY WANT TO JUST BE ABLE TO GO SOMEWHERE SOMETIMES WHERE NO ONE KNOWS ME AND JUST FORGET IT ALL. ITS NOT LIKE I DONT HAVE ENOUGH THINGS TO DEAL WITH AT HOME, IL ALSO HAVE SOMEONE THERE TO REMIND ME OF IT WHETHER IT IS GOOD OR BAD IT JUST WONT LET YOU BE AND LEAVE YOU ALONE. ESPECIALLY IN THIS DAY AND AGE WITH TECHNOLOGY AND SOCIAL MEDIA CONNECTING EVERYONE TOGETHER YOU REALLY DO NOT WANT TO DISRESPECT OR OFFEND THE WRONG PERSON, BECAUSE YOU REALLY DO NOT KNOW WHO KNOWS WHO AND WHOS FRIENDS WITH WHO. IF YOU DO, THEN YOU REALLY DONT KNOW WHOS CONNECTED TO WHO AND YOU MIGHT END UP SHOOTING YOURSELF IN THE FOOT. THIS IS WHY I TRY TO BE FRIENDLY TO EVERYONE BECAUSE YOU REALLY NEVER KNOW WHO OR WHEN THEY MAY BE IN A POSITION TO HELP YOU OR DESTROY YOU. IT COULD BE FOR A JOB, OR AN INTRODUCTION, OR SERVING YOU, OR A MILLION OTHER DIFFERENT THINGS, AND YOU DONT WANT ANYONE TO HAVE A GRUDGE AGAINST YOU. THAT IS WHY FOR ANY TYPE OF RELATIONSHIP, BOTH PERSONAL AND PROFESSIONAL IF IT DIDNT WORK OUT THEN IT DIDNT WORK OUT, BUT I WOULD STILL LIKE TO BE FRIENDS IF POSSIBLE OR AT LEAST BE CIVIL IF OUR PATHS EVER SHALL CROSS AGAIN... I MEAN... THE WORLD REALLY IS TOO SMALL.

ON ANOTHER NOTE SOCCER GAME THE PAST WEEK WE PLAYED OUR GOOD OLD RIVALS. A TEAM THAT WE HAVE PLAYED ABOUT 7 OR 8 TIMES AND WE USUALLY WIN AND ITS A GOOD GAME. SOMEHOW WE ENDED UP TYING... FINAL SCORE 1 ALL AND I SCORE THE HEADER FOR OUR TEAM. FINALLY MADE UP FOR THE LOST HEADER LAST WEEK HAHA. OH OH OH AND I ALSO WENT TO MY 1ST EVER WHITECAPS GAME :) BESTIE TOOK ME AND WE HAD TONS OF FOOD AND WE WON TOO. THAT WAS COOL. HAD A MEETING TODAY AND IT WAS GOING TO BE INDOORS, BUT NOOOOOOOO LAST MIN EVERYONE SAID IT SO NICE OUT LETS JUST GO HAVE THE MEETING IN THE COURYARD... AKA THE PLAYGROUND. SO THERE WE WERE... NEXT TO THE BUSHES... AND THE WHOLE TIME WE WERE JUST SWATTING MOSQUITOES... THEY WERE EVERYWHERE!!! I JUST FELT ITCHY ESPECIALLY WATCHING EVERYONE IN SHORTS AND TSHIRTS GOING CRAZY LOL. I WAS IN A SUIT AND EVEN I FELT ITCHY UNDER MY CLOTHES LOL. OH AND THE BEST PART... I START SCRATCHING AND ONCE HOME I CHECK... YOU ARE KIDDING ME... I THINK I MIGHT HAVE BEEN BITTEN 7 TIMES!!!!>@>?!?>@??!@#> WTF!!! THROUGH THE CLOTHES AND ITS LIKE THE THIGH AND INSIDE BACK AND KNEE AREA... THROUGH THE CLOTHES... I HATE MOSQUITOES!!! ARGGGGGGGGGGGG. NOW TIME TO SLEEP SINCE I HAVE AN EARLY MORNING MEETING AND ANOTHER MEETING AT NIGHT LOL.

WHY WAIT...

WHY WAIT... THAT TRULY IS THE QUESTION... LIFES TOO SHORT TO WAIT FOR THINGS TO HAPPEN... YOU HAVE TO MAKE IT HAPPEN. DONT JUST ALLOW THINGS TO TO HAPPEN. WANT IT ENOUGH TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT AND MAKE IT HAPPEN RIGHT NOW!!! WHAT ARE YOU AFRAID OF??? FAILURE??? FAILING IS THE ONLY THING THAT MAKES YOU WANT TO SUCCEED EVEN MOREAND MAKES YOU APPRECIATE IT MORE WHEN YOU FINALLY GET WHAT YOU WANT OR WHAT YOU WORKED SO HARD FOR. PROVE ALL THOSE PEOPLE WHO SAID YOU CANT DO IT. WHEN YOURE WAITING WHO KNOWS HOW LONG IT WILL BE BEFORE IT ACTUALLY HAPPENS... OR IF IT WILL EVER EVEN HAPPEN. YOU CANT JUST HOPE FOR SOMETHING TO HAPPEN... MAKE IT YOURS!!! WHILE YOU WAIT YOU COULD HAVE ALREADY BEEN DOING SOMETHING THAT GETS YOU TO THAT POINT OR THING YOU WANT. SO WHY WAIT... WAITING TAKES TOO MUCH ENERGY... HOPING AND WAITING FOR SOMETHING THAT MIGHT NOT EVEN HAPPEN... AT LEAST WHEN YOU DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT YOU KNOW THERES A CHANCE THAT IT WILL HAPPEN. YOU HAVE TO BE PROACTICE. SITTING THERE DOES NOTHING FOR YOU... OR FOR WHAT YOU WANT. ACTIVELY MAKE THINGS HAPPEN, IF YOURE NOT GOING TO MAKE IT HAPPEN FOR YOURSELF, WHO WILL??? LIFE DOESNT WORK THAT WAY... YOU GET WHAT YOU PUT IN. YOU CANT JUST HOPE ON BLIND LUCK... MAKE IT HAPPEN... MAKE IT YOURS!!! DONT WAIT!!! DO IT NOW!!! GET TO IT!!! THERE REALLY IS NO BETTER TIME THAN THE PRESENT.

WITH THAT BEING SAID... ITS ALREADY APRIL AND A THIRD OF THE YEAR HAS ALREADY PAST... I SAID TO MYSELF THAT I WANTED TO GET SOME THINGS DONE THIS YEAR AND ITS ABOUT TIME THAT I STOPPED WAITING AND STARTED DOING. SO NO MORE BEING LAZY AND MAKING EXCUSES. TIME TO START STARTING :)

SO WORKS BEEN CRAZY... OT ALL DAY EVERYDAY... 1ST TIME PULLING A 12 HOUR IN ALMOST A YEAR... BUT THEN AGAIN I ONLY WORKED SO LONG CAUSE I WAS WAITING TO PICK UP DAD. PLUS I HAVE A BUNCH OF STUFF THATS BEEN STACKING UP TO DO. FINALLY CAUGHT UP ON EMAILS, FOLLOW UPS, PAPER WORK, ORGANIZING AND EVERYTHING ELSE IN BETWEEN. IT FEELS GOOD TO HAVE THINGS BACK TO THE WAY THEY WERE... BEFORE EVERYTHING PUKED ALL OVER MY TABLE LOL. SO MUCH TO DO AND SO LITTLE TIME... I REALLY DONT MIND WORKING LATE CAUSE I LIKE IT. I GET MORE DONE AFTER WORK THEN I DO DURING WORK... I WANT TO DO SOMETHING BUT SOMETHING ELSE ALWAYS COMES UP, NOT TO MENTION THE STUPID AMOUNT OF CALLS THAT COME IN AND I MAKE THAT BLOCKS OFF A TON OF TIME. IT STILL IS A BUSY TIME OF THE YEAR FOR SOME REASON... SHOULD HAVE BEEN OVER BUT SOON... SOOOOOOOOOOOOON... IN ABOUT A WEEK I THINK IL BE FREE-ER... THEN BUSY FOR ANOTHER 2 AND THEN IT SHOULD BE WAY BETTER LOL. IN THE MEANWHILE... GRIND GRIND GRIND...

SO FINALLY LAST WEEK WAS OUR FIRST FOOTBALL GAME OF THE SEASON!!! I WAS SUPER STOKED!!! MORE SO THAN NORMAL... GOT THERE EARLY TO CHECK OUT THE OTHER TEAMS AND GAMES. THEN IT WAS FINALLY OUR TURN :) THE OTHER TEAM WAS NEW TOO BUT THEIR CAPTAIN MOST DEFINITIVELY PLAY... ALL HIS TEAM MATES ARE ACTIVE FOR SURE... 6'3 6'5 GUYS WHO CAN RUN AND JUMP... AND A DUDE WHO HAD A FULL ON VIKING BEARD... I CALLED HIM VIKING DURING THE GAME LOL. HERE WE WERE A BUNCH OF NOOBS LITERALLY... FOR ALMOST ALL OF US IT WAS OUR FIRST EVER FOOTBALL GAME... WE DID OK... WE COULD HAVE DONE BETTER BUT WE PLAYED WELL. STILL LOTS TO LEARN AND ESPECIALLY THE STUPID OBSTRUCTION CALLS... WE HAD LIKE A DOZEN PENALTIES BECAUSE OF THAT... HAHA................... IT WAS A LEARNING EXPERIENCE AND NOW WE KNOW WHAT TO EXPECT AND I CANT WAIT FOR THIS WEEK TO PLAY!!! ITS A 9AM GAME... WE GONNA HAVE A BIT OF A PRACTICE BEFORE THAT... AT... 730AM... AHEAHEHAH.

OH OH OH SO THE NEW SOCCER SHOES I BOUGHT FOR BOTH FOOTBALL AND SOCCER, I FINALLY WORE THEM TO AT MY SOCCER GAME. FUNNY CAUSE IVE WORN IT 3 TIMES FOR FOOTBALL BUT HAVENT WORN THEM FOR SOCCER YET EVEN THOUGHT THEY ARE FORE SOCCER... ANYWAYS... NEW SHOES FOR SOCCER ANDDDDDDDDD I SCORED A GOAL LOL. BUDDY SAID IT MUST BE THE SHOES HAHA.

LET ME JUST SAY ONE THING... PLAYING FOOTBALL IN THE MORNING/AFTERNOONISH AND PLAYING SOCCER AT NIGHT IS A BAD IDEA... 2 GAMES IN A DAY IS FREAKING TIRING... FOOTBALL IS TIRING CAUSE I PLAYED THE ENTIRE GAME... AND SOCCER IS TIRING BECAUSE OF THE SPRINTS AND CHASE DOWNS... FOOTBALL EVEN THOUGH ITS SHORT BURTS AND THEN I CAN WALK BACK IS LESS TIRING THAN SOCCER... BUT THE FEELING THE NEXT DAY AND THE DAY AFTER... EVERYTHING WAS DEAD... EVERYTHING WAS SORE... EVERYTHING HURT... WELL THATS JUST THE START SO WITH MORE GAMES ENDURANCE AND STAMINA WILL BE BACK SO IT WILL BE BETTER................. I HOPE... LOL. NOW TO GET SOME OF THAT MUCH NEEDED REST :)
