Favorite Season 9/29

My favorite season hands down is summer. I mean there is so much to do during the summer and it is a time to meet new people. It is also my favorite season because my birthday is the first day of summer. When I think summer, I think of walking around or driving around at night doing whatever I wanted to with my friends and the start of football season. Summer is a time to relax but to me I think I get a lot less rest. My summers always consist of staying up late at night and doing something with your friends until you just pass out because you’re so tired. Another thing I think of when I think of summer is bonfires. It’s you and all of your friends, just sitting around a fire talking about the past, the present or the future. It’s a nice time and although you don’t see everyone as much as you would normally during the summer, you always make time for your true friends. I always spend so much money during the summer, which kind of sucks but it is always for a good cause. Late at night, there is always someone who wants to go get something to eat from mighty taco or maybe wants to get ice cream from frosty’s. So every time I would head to the mall or be sitting at home we would always find something to eat which made me go bankrupt. But I just say whatever because hey that’s what summer is about. Oh yeah and the ladies of course.

Getaway Spot 9/29

I have been many places recently but none of which, would I classify them as vacation spots. One place where I go to get away, which isn’t that far away at all, is my grandma’s house. I go there to rest and when I want to spend time with family I go there. My grandma hosts many dinners and always has members of the family over. Although it gets a little hectic sometimes, we always have good time and have stuff to talk about. My grandma’s is like a place you want to go when you’re really hungry. She has all the food you could ever imagine. Sometimes I wonder, “Why do grandmas always have so much food?” To me, it seems like the food is endless at gram’s house. Another thing I love and makes me feel like I’m on vacation is the fact that my grandmother waits on me and always wants to make sure I am happy. I guess you could say I am a bit of a grandma’s boy. But I don’t mind. If being a grandma’s boy means that I am going to be spoiled and waited on, then I am a grandma’s boy. I love being able to rest there and kick back on the couch. I think that is what makes it the best. But most of all, I think the best part is just being able to not have any worries and knowing that I’ll be happy while I am there.

My Past 9/24

My life has consisted of many life lessons. But one that comes to mind and sticks out the most was last year or actually, pretty recent. I was in a bit of a jam with some girl and for some reason I put her before family and friends. I would sneak out and do things that my mother would not like. When I was with my friends I would ditch them to hang out with her and then i would also lie to my mom and tell her I was somewhere else. So eventually, it got to the point where i had lost all trust with my mom and some of my friends. Once I started to become more relaxed and realize that a girl is not as important as family, or any friend. When it had gotten to that point, I stopped talking to the girl and started to spend more time with my friends and try to not be involved with all of the drama that surrounded it. Now, the reason I say that I am still learning the lesson is because of people I see today. I see people with their girlfriends or that are involved in drama and then I just ask myself like, why? Why must people be involved with something that doesn't make them happy? I'm sure that it may have its positives. But right here, right now all I know is that in the end my friends and family will always be here to make me happy.

My Present 9/23

Right now I am right where I want to be. I am finally into my senior year of high school and things couldn't be any better. I have a lot of friends, or what seems to be a lot to me. And I know if anything ever came up where I needed them, they would be right here for me and have my back. I'm also playing football for a team that has been rebuilt over the last couple of years and is currently 3-0 heading into the homecoming game against Newfane. We're hoping to return to Ralph Wilson Stadium again from last year. So as far as football goes, everything is good. Life in school is also great. It's nice going around school and pretending like you’re the top dog, which is kind of funny when you think about it. I think I get along with everyone, even though I'm sure people may think differently. But I try to get along with everyone. Even if I don't talk to someone, when they try to talk to me I listen and show them I'm not that bad.  As far as life outside of school, everything continues to be going how I could want it. Even though I don’t have as much free time as I would like with work and football, I can’t complain. I usually always try to keep myself occupied by hanging out with any one of my friends or just doing something. I don’t care what it is, if I’m bored, I’ll usually do it. I’ve convinced myself that I have A.D.H.D. because I always have to be doing something or I am always so talkative. But overall, I am happy with who I am and if someone doesn’t like who I am, then it’s whatever.

My Future 9/22

For me, thinking what I want in life or in the future, is the most difficult for me to think about. I mean I'm already a senior and I had no idea it would go this fast. But I guess this is growing up. I want to be able to say that I have it all figured out from here and that I know I will be successful in the future. But for now, all I can do is, wonder and predict how the rest of my life is going to turn out. I don't know for a fact if I will be where I wanna be ten years from now. To be honest, I don't even know what I want to even do in college yet. You would think that after going through schooling my whole life, that I would be set on what I want to do. But in all actuality, I can't decide or pick one thing that I want to do for the rest of my life. So for that, I keep my options open and continue to think about what or where I want to be. I hope that one day I can be something that I will enjoy doing. I see people today and how they complain about what they are doing all the time, or how they made the wrong decisions in life to get them where they are today. I don't want to be like that. I want to actually make a mark. I know I have said a lot of "I want to do this" or "I want to that," but by the time it's all said and done...I should be able to say I've done everything I wanted to.

Living in the coldest part of the country isn't easy. I mean you have no idea how limited I am to entertainment. Its too cold to go outside and other than that all I have is a couple video games and a computer. So I have to little bit of my imagination. I'd like to actually live it instead of imagine it, but what can you do? Nothing. So one way that I cope with my boredom is by creating scenery and pretending I am in different parts of the world. One day I'm on a beach, the next day Niagara Falls, after that, the Sahara Desert. Although I do not have many friends, I have enough fun by myself when i do these things and use my imagination. Of all of the things that I had mentioned, a beach happens to be my favorite. Although I have never been to a beach before, I picture it to be as great as I imagine.

It was just one of those days where I had felt totally out of it. I woke up and felt even more sick than the last couple of days. I'd been sleeping all day with the blinds closed, and lights off in my room. Dream after dream, it felt like a series of illusions. I couldn't help but toss and turn at the thought of being alone in my room all day with no one to talk to or interact with. After about fifteen minutes of watching television, i dozed of into an even deeper sleep. I woke up under water swimming with types of fish i have never even heard of before. But in my head all i was thinking was,"What am I doing here?" I couldn't wrap my mind around it but all i knew is that i was somewhere with a whole lot of water. It was getting hard for me to breathe and all I needed was air. I was stuck. There seemed like there was no way for me to get to ground level. But finally, I had managed to make it. My head was above water and I could see nothing but, blue skies and the body of water below me. At that point I had realized that i was lost. Lost at Sea.

It was a long day of work, and I had just gotten home. Everything seemed to be going fine until...I heard my dog barking and the sound of a tornado coming from the bathroom upstairs. Knowing my dog, I was sure he was over exaggerating. But by the time i had gotten to the bathroom door, i realized that it was anything but any exaggeration. It was as if a typhoon had erupted from my toilet! My dog was about to get sucked down the toilet until i reached for him. I had managed to save him, but by then i had already lost three rolls of toilet paper, a couple knick-knaks, and a rubber ducky. My dog on the other hand, suffered a couple broken ribs and a mild concussion. I took to the vet as soon as I could. And although I will never know what truly happened that day, I will know that I save my dog’s life.
