Unexpected Good News

So I just found out that Alex, one of my exes, broke up with her boyfriend of eight months. She said that she's upset about it, to put it bluntly; from what it sounded like was that he didn't really pay much attention to her at the end. Now, where's this going, you might ask. Well, I quote Alex, "but now I can guarantee something I've owed you for a while"...which is a kiss! I'm not gonna lie, it was probably the last thing I was expecting to hear tonight, but shoot, I'm not complaining at all! Oh and she did go on to say, "I've always wanted to kiss you". Score one for me!!!

(The irony of all this is how I'm currently listening to the overture to Much Ado About Nothing. Go figure, a play/movie about love. Irony, much?)

Today

This is a recap of what I did today:
- 1st period Government: Mr. Thomas and Mr. Watson came in and talked to us about senior information stuff. Then we lectured about credit cards. In other words, we did nothing in first period.
- 3rd period/Bruin Block: Watched a crappy and cheesy video about texting/distractions while driving. Then I practiced during Bruin Block. In other words, I didn't do anything.
- 5th period Jazz Band: Literally didn't do anything; we had a free period and some people had to clean the rooms they invaded. This period embodied how little I did today.
- 7th period AP Stat: Went out to the island behind school to collect data for our "Into the Forest" lab. Then we came inside, where we chilled the rest of the period. And according to Sporcle.com, I know 114 of the world's 185 countries (and it should have been more but I was having a bad day, hence missing a ton of them I should have had). It actually was a good way to kill almost an hour, really.

In short, I didn't do anything today, but hey, that's not necessarily a bad thing.

Hockey update

The Windsor Spitfires won their second straight Memorial Cup by defeating the hosts the Brandon Wheat Kings 9-1. Shame I missed seeing them repeat, but I was busy playing in a heartbreaking hockey game (see last post for further details).

My Chicago Blackhawks swept the San Jose Sharks in 4 games, and will be playing in the Stanley Cup Finals!!! Good luck boys and let's bring home the cup this year!

Heartbreak of a hockey game

You know the feeling when you're so close to something good and it gets taken from you? Well that's how I felt last night. So we were down 2-1 with 3o seconds left in the game when we scored (and it shut up those damn obnoxious Centreville fans). We all felt that we were on our way to a tie, when we couldn't clear the puck out of our zone, and thus the inevitable goal came with 2 seconds left in the game. Talk about getting screwed. Plus, it would have been easier to take had the fans not have been such douchebags, cause yes, they were bad; who the heck heckles in warmups? Sadly, that was probably the closest thing to a victory for the rest of the season. And come to think of it, I only have three, THREE, more games left in my high school career. Eek!

Who I am

Who is he, the kid
That listens to Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata on YouTube
That writes poetry, that plays sports.
Who is he?

Why does he do that? It's a rather odd combination.

And he answers, "I do it because that's who I am".
I am a kid who thrives on the little stuff that life has to offer.
Yes, it may result in not having a ton of friends, but really,
What I have means more to me than a rowdy bunch of friends.
I don't care if you like me or if you make fun of me, I am who I am.
I will stick up for my friends to the last, and I'm happy.
Happy with what I have. It's my joy in life, the things I have.
And I love it. Love with an undying passion.

Nobody, not anybody, can take that from me.
That's the kid who he is.

Signs that you're being bullied by someone you're obviously better than

Due to my recent experience dealing with other people being cyber bullied, I felt that I needed to address the topic. So without further ado, here's the list that goes with the title.

- You pity them if they are that shallow to have to try and resort to bullying you just to make themselves feel better.

- You actually feel BETTER about yourself after they attempt to bring you down

- TIP: Just suck it up, as it not only takes away from their "fun" but it shows that you're far more courageous to deal with it all. It may suck by doing so, but it shows who's the boss.

- You're a normal person who's in good shape who has no qualms with anybody...yet the person/people in question isn't/aren't athletic, to put it kindly.

- You didn't do anything to provoke this, other than being an amazing person that they're jealous of.

- The irony that if you made fun of them, they'd cry foul and bitch about it, whereas you're the alleged "pussy" if you complain.

- They are so pathetic that they have to get your friend to deliver a message of "fuck you". Because we all know that's just manly when you do that. Let alone not having enough courage to say it to your face.

- They can't even say it to your face, let alone have the balls to do it to you in private; they have to summon the courage of having friends around to do so.

- When you don't even know if they have balls in the first place.

- They resort to saying crap about your family members.

- They're pretty much provoking you to fight them, but you won't, cause really, that's what we call "assisted suicide".

- Why's it assisted suicide? Cause people bully wimp out when push comes to shove. Or try to cheap shot you.

- Said people in question run away at THE slightest hint of retribution.

- Regarding the last statement, one wants to ask them, "Does it get claustrophobic in that little mind of yours?"...before realizing that in order for it to get claustrophobic, you first need to have a mind.

-The fact that no matter what, you're still a better person than anybody who tries to bully you.
