Quit Stalling....

I despise stalling. Seriously. Even though I know for a fact that its how people begin, it really sucks. Its frustrating, embarrassing, and makes me panic. But I know I'll soon get better.

Woke up early today and drove to school. Jereme, the pal that he is, came to my house and drove behind me, to take precaution when I would stall. Thanks a lot homie! Stalled like three times on Quimby & Ruby and I got fed up. The light turned green, then red, then green again. So, I just floored it to get past the light. We both also practiced driving our the lot in the morning, past 6:30 am. It was alright. It left me with the feeling to practice more the whole day.

After lunch, I went to Wendy's with Danny and Mason. Danny gave me pointers while I drove and also showed me a few things. I stalled yet again. Its so bad, especially with people behind me getting angry. But, the best are when they laugh and are nice about it. Oh, do I have stories about the first day already.

A little after seventh period began, I was in the parking lot practicing the stick. Drove all around for over an hour. It was fun and it was real practice. Now, I start off better, that's so great. I set a personal goal for myself this morning. Its to get used to my car and get the hang of it by the end of the week. I have total faith in myself, so do my friends. And, if I don't reach it, then it, of course, has to be within the next week. My plan is to just get to school early to drive, hoping not to stall, with less traffic. Then practice in the lot. No first period tomorrow, so that's cool. Then after, say sixth period, practice more. I know I'm not treating the engine, transmission, clutch, and anything else right -that's because I'm a beginner. And if I really did, I have a lifetime warranty. But, I hope I don't.

Its tight, I'm falling in love with my car. Dope stuff. A few of my boys and I were chilling in the lot just talking and looking at our cars. Haha.

Well, I'm looking forward to a chill evening. Holla back youngin'!

Total stalls (and counting) as of now: Around 10. :D

Got it. ;-]

Vroom vroomin' now. My own! Yay!

I hate stalling.... >:O

Plan to go to school really early tomorrow and drive around the parking lot. Learn where the balance point is. Sigh....

2007 Subaru Impreza 2.5

Disappointed... somewhat.

Didn't end up getting a car. Did test drive an 07 wagon, WRX and stick, but didn't get it. Because? Because. Oh well, whatever....

Did assemble the new treadclimber for my mom, which felt like an accomplishment.

Now, should I go back to wrestling or become more serious in skateboarding?

Tired....

I'm super exhausted. I skated for around three hours. At first, I thought it wasn't going to be that cool of a skate session. Then, some skaters I haven't seen for a while came through and it was dope. Also, I skated with homies that I haven't in a long time too. I landed a lot of tricks today and kept trying to execute those "crazy" ones. They were mostly tricks that I thought I lost or could never do for a while. They're all slowly coming back and its all gooooood.

People would say that I'm good at skating. I disagree. I say I'm okay at it. Its because I've been skating, on and off, for quite a great amount of years. Its just that, in those years, only a portion of them was I really serious. And basically, its because I try "crazy" or hard tricks, which I rarely get, but with enough practice and tries at it I end up getting them. So that's why people say I'm "good," when I always loose in S.K.A.T.E.

My hopes are already up for tomorrow. I'm going to the dealership to get a car. I'm going to -I've got to. I've waited for a while, maybe not as long as some, but I have done my time. Its not that I really need one, but its more than a want. If people lived my life the way I've been, they'd also agree that a car would help me out so much. So yeah, I'm bent on not seeing Sunday car-less, no matter the obstacles I have to face.

My blogs are becoming shorter now and I almost feel unfaithful to my it. Lol, so what? Later!

Just chillll.

Probably one of the best highlights of my current senior year is the scarcity of homework I have. Everyday, since school began, I have not had a lot of homework. To me, there's having little homework, a lot, and then tons. Lately, its been none of those -its been less! Damn, this is a reward. Reward for all the hard work I've done the past years. Haha, its good that its coming now. I just hope it doesn't end with a roaring crash.

So I've been learning how to drive a manual and its going pretty well. I know I'll get the hang of it, and perform well, soon. I'm gunning for that GC8. You'll see....

Today felt kind of slow. Kind of, weird. I didn't know what it was. But, I rushed (skated) to school today just to reduce the minutes I would be late. I ended up being five minutes late. Just to remember, and see, that we had a sub first period. She marked nobody late. Darns.

I saw a homie three times today and they were all at different and separate intervals. That's too much yo. Lol.

Tired from working out and hungry from not eating. Goodnight!

Blessing.

Words can't explain or describe how miraculous today was.

Past & Present

Thinking back, now, man, I miss my early years of high school. Back then, the first two years, I was close to a lot of people. Over time and as we tend to grow into ourselves, we grow apart but still stay friends. I used to be close to people who are at SC, but now we haven't talked in ages. Of course, we'd still remember each other, but there was no contact for a long time. Times were so fun back then. I was more active with my boys than I am now. I remember, we all used to play ball too, have monthly potlucks, go out during practices to ding-dong ditch, and skate! Now, we drive. Haha, oh how the means of transportation have changed. As I look back, I also notice all the relationships. Who's had one, with who, who next, etc. Its like "whoa" because basically everyone has found someone at sometime, whether it being from my school or another. Also, how everyone is driving already. I remember I was one of the first '08ers to drive. Now we mostly all do.Its interesting and funny to me. I am not in a reminiscing and sad mode right now, I'm just remembering. Its just I'd say my past years were boring and whatever, but actually they weren't. Good times is what they were. Also, even though I'm just ranting, I'm not saying that this year won't be good. Totally opposite of that son.

Didn't go to first period again today. LOL. The power of the whole block went out last night around 8ish o'clock pm. So, without electricity (the internet) I decided to sleep early. I ended up sleeping near 10pm. I planned to get Starbucks and be on time to first, but I woke up late again. I'm getting tired of that, I really am. What I do is wake up on time and then fall back asleep, and only wake up again too late. Well, if I had hurried a bit I would not have been that late, but that'd mean I'd have to skip breakfast. That wasn't possible. I was not about to sit in three straight classes with no food in my stomach. (That's also my alibi.) So, I got Starbucks instead of going to class.

In my gayest class, business, I pretended to go to the nurse, but what I really did was leave early. :] I played it so well, that I even started to feel uncomfortable. I always do that and I like it. But I don't like the dishonesty though. I'm afraid too. After seeing last year's latest report card, it showed that I had cut many classes many times. Actually and according to me, I doubt all of that is true, I think it was too much. Anyways, if it was true, then maybe going to the nurse doesn't totally excuse you in the classes you miss. Oh well... I'll try harder next time.

I'm super tired. Earlier, I was at my uncle's birthday get-together. It was fun bonding with family and giving them my senior portrait pictures. Now, I've got to get up early again and be at my cousin's house in the morning. We're going to the Chocolate Factory. And with that, I want to say, HAPPEE BERDEY ATE ANNE!!!!

G'night.
