Finishing Strong

At the end of the year or the fourth marking period a lot of kids slack off. They have worked hard all year and are completetly tired when it comes to fourth marking period. But this is the time when you really need to finish out. Or at least try your best. Academics play a huge role in life. I personally do not like to do school work and find it difficult to sit down and focus for long periods of time regarding my homework. But I know that this is the time for me to finsh strong. When summer comes you dont feel a burden about getting those bad grades on you report card. Or showing your parents that you did not do well and end up being punished for the begining of summer. This is something that I feel is extremely important during the school year.

Hurt my quad even more. ..

It was a complete accident but it happened. Earlier in the week while I was in physical therapy I go though the same routine. Usually I heat it first so all the blood from my lower leg rises to my quad so there is new fresh blood allowing me to have more felxibilty. Than I usually go through a few light workouts that allow quad muscle to get working. Everything was going according to plan until I went back to the bed/ table where i stretch it out. Apparently it was still tight and did not have enough blood flow in the muscle. So the trainer was stretching me out until he went a little too far and over stretched it. It felt like  knot was in my leg and a continous thumping pain. The trainer felt bad at first not knowing exactly what he had done. So I had to have one of the doctors come in and stimulate the muscle with electricity and ice. Now I have another meeting with him again next week.

Obama’s New Rule

I heard this recently that president obama passed a rule onto congress regarding the use of cars. He has said that by the year of 2016 he wants everybody to drive a certain car. Why would he do this? First he might not even be president by that time so this law cannot be applies. He wants everybody to drive a car that has about 35mpg. (Miles per Gallon). The problem with this is that some people cannot even afford this kind of car and it would cost them way too much money. The government is becoming so controlling that they are actually trying to tell us what cars we nned to drive. I personally think this is ridiculous. They should not be able to tell us what kind of car we are going to drive. What if you have a car and it does you or you family really well and you all of a sudden have to buy a new one.

Eminem-Relapse

I heard this cd was going to be good. I had no idea that it was going to be this good. One thing that is good about this cd is it goes deep its meaniful and has a purpose. They way he puts together the beats and lyrics is unreal. How he creates different styles is ridiculous and always enjoyable to listen to. Not only does every rap fan have this cd, but many crtics say that this album is one that is going to have an impact on the society and make a difference. It takes a lot for a music reviewer to say something like this and feel so strong about an album. Eminem had a rough life growing up and has not come out with an album in the last 4 years because of drug addition but for him to get his life back together and make an incredible album like this is impressive. I now have more respect for him as an artist.

NBA Playoffs 2009 Recap

The Cavs lost to the magic and now are down 0-1 in the series.

I kid you not “fart candy”

A friend of mine was at a store out of state and was shopping for candy at a convient store. Here she was looking for different candies when she saw on in the aisle “Fart Candy” it was real. I didnt believe it at first, but then she sent a picture and it was actually a candy. So of course she purchased it and about three or four bags out of it just because it was that funny. Later that day I had to do it, I wanted to make her eat it but I knew she wouldnt. So we made one of out friends eat it. We waited to see what would happen but he said there were no effects. We looked for directions to see if there was a special way to do this. But it turns out that it was just a hoax, yet the experience will forever be remembered….Fart Candy.

Getting your first car

I know it was early but I talked to my parents about getting a new car. I convinced them because I said that I need to get used to the car and how it handles on the road. Along with all the features that you have to get use to. They agreed to it and then the very next week we went out to a jeep dealer ship on route 17 in ramsey. I went looking for a jeep but instead I found another car that was better than any jeep. It was a 2008 all decked up 22 inch rim dodge nitro. I kid you not. This car was brand new and had everything decked out because they wanted to put accessories on it to make it more appealing so they could get off the lot. It was calling my name. So we got a great deal on it. I enjoy it everytime i drive it. Im saving money so that this summer I can black rims on it. This is my ultimate goal.

Terrible Sunburn

This past spring break was one that I will never forget. We drove down which was not that plesant but it happened. We arrived on the thursday before that actual spring break started. I that night was a good night becausei met up with friends that I knew from my old school and we hung out all day on the beach just chilling with a bunch of people all the way into the night. The next day was terrible, because I went to the beach with some family friends. I forgot (chose not to) put suntan lotion on. I just layed down for a little bit, but fell asleep being the idiot that I am. Nobody woke me up and I ended up sleeping for an hour and half which was an hour and a half too much. When I awoke I did not feel bad or burnt. I did not look it either, but as I walked back to the car I felt stiff and that when it all started. The next day I was honest to God as red as an apple. I was so stiff and the bags under my eyes were swollen that it looked like i had no bags and my eyes were squinted. For the rest of Sring Break yes all 7 days I had to lay down and not move. The week after I was peeling so much. It was probably one of the worst experiences of my life.

Torn Quad

About two weeks ago, I was practicing basketball with my aau basketball team. I went to drive to the basket when one of my teamates knees hit my quad. A first it was an instant, terrible, pain that lasted for about 8 to 10 min. My quad muscle tightened up, I tired to stretch it but it was to painful. I sat out for the rest of practice. When I got home the pain was so bad that I could barely walk. I tired icing it, but it started to swell up ver y quickly. Over the period of that week I continued to stretch it. I had a tournament that next weekend. Which i was feeling pretty good, and my quad did not hurt that bad. During the game I was playing very well until I drove to the basket and I got hit in the quad. The pain was bad , but not as bad as the first time. I couldn walk after this and sat otut the rest of the tournament. The next week I went to the doctor. I found out that when I was kneed at first that his knee pierced mu quad muscle casuing internal bleeding, and the second time when it got hit it caused it to stretch this causing a torn quad. Now I have to do physical therapy for 6 weeks, and cannot play sports for 2 months.
