A Day Without Boots

Now, this is my very first blog entry, so please do not judge its quality too harshly. As the title clearly state; I did not wear boots today. Now for those of you that do not know me all that well, although if you do not I question why you are reading this, I have worn boots since seventh grade. I am now in eleventh grade; quite the amount of time. One thing that I was able to do today that I could not do with boots, although I doubt that I will be able to do it again anytime soon, is outrun a car. Allow me to elaborate.
So today I got out of my house to do one of the two film projects that I am a part of for my high school's film club. I was supposed to film while sitting on the hood of a moving car, but did not get the chance to do so(Only a minor disappointment). So we got our filming done relatively quickly, but the running around left me quite tuckered out. So then I play basketball with the guys... and Trixy. By now I am very tired and my feet hurt for my new shoes, a pair of vans, have little to no lumbar support. So we go to Happy Sashimi and order up some food. A shotgun roll at level five which is so hot the guy asks us if we have heart problems before he can legally serve it to us. However, before we get our food, Schwanka and I walk on over to pick up Dyana and take her back to the restaurant(I hate all of this walking). So we get back and apparently Bryan just threw up. Bryan had eaten a slice of the roll whole and needed to regurgatate. Brian Woo took his like a man though. Then Dyana, Schwanka, and myself dug into one roll a piece and the torture began. Luckily my spider roll saved me for it cooled down my mouth; I ♥ Spider Rolls. Then I did something very stupid, I ate a second piece of the roll. I ended up spending $33.75 to not be able to taste any of my food. So at this point I am full to the point of illness and am heading back to Collins Elementary for more basketball. Trixy's mom wants to give us all a ride, but there was not enough room for us all. So Daniel and I, idiots as we are, race the car back to the school. We so won, ask anyone there, we won. Thus, that is how I outran a car today. The ultimate suprising part being that I was exhausted and full at this point in time.

Random Ranting Section:
(A quick note: I am a dreadfully bored soul with a lot to say. Thus, I will be choosing a rondom thing on my mind or a friends mind and giving my opinion about it. I doubt anyone will read this section, but I do not care too much about that).

Today's ranting topic is provided by Erin Miller.
"What is your truth of the moment?"

A brief description of the quote: "I've come to believe that much of our misery comes from not being willing to acknowledge the truth of the present circumstance. We can deny what is really going on (in our lives) or complain that it shouldn't be the way it is, but nothing good comes from not realizing the truth of the moment."

When I was first given this quote, I thought nothing of it, but then I began to see its inner lining. The quotation in question is a clear reference to a majour issue that is affecting one of my closest friends. The person shall remain nameless, but my elaboration shall continue. Although this does not only pertain to what I shall be speaking about, it has a large role in the situation at hand. When one thinks of the trials and tribulations of romance, I always think back to what one of my good friends Ashley has told me, "William, guys are blind when it comes to love. You allow the truly great oppurtunities in life pass right before your eyes as you continue to see yourself shot down time and time again by obviously flawed pursuits." I totally paraphrased that, but I do not think that she will mind( I thought that sounded pretty good if I do say so myself). What a lot of us do not realize, especially when it comes to love, is what is basically hitting you in the face. Guys, the girl that truly has feelings for you and would do well with you is staring at you from the corner of the room as she watches you try ever so hard in order to win the heart of a failed prospect. This especially goes out to you guys that continue to fail in love. What you need to do is take a step back and really take a look at your surroundings. Is the truth that you really do not need or want a relationship? That you only see all of these couples popping up left and right and believe that the only way for you to be normal is to be in a relationship yourself. Is it that you go after these girls you think and cute and nice, when in reality you let someone that you see as a good friend sit on the sidelines when all she wants for you to do is recognize her as someone that is desireable to you? Could it be, that all of these frivolous and poorly thought out romantic ventures of yours are hurting you far more than it is helping? Let us all reflect upon this quote and think to ourselves, "what is the truth of the moment?" Let us all figure out what is really going on in our lives and try to improve. Let us all take a step back from the mayhem, and take it easy every once in a while. Alright.

Final Note:

Today I played Schwanka in Super Smash Brothers Brawl fourteen times and won 12-2 finally proving that Mr. Game and Watch is superior to Marth.

Thank you for reading.
