Should I probably be going to bed? Should I probably be writing an essay? Should I probably be taking a shower after running 3 miles today? Yes, yes, and yes, but I kind of felt like banging out this blog.
So as usual on Thursday I enjoyed my tv shows. I dont understand how people spend thursday evening NOT watching Community, 30 Rock, and the Office. I can understand how people dont watch Outsourced, it's good but not up to the other 3, and after an hour and a half I kind of feel like doing something else part way through the show.
Friday, hung out with some cool people, went to the tip of the universe with a van from Music City, and met some people I'd heard about but never actually seen. Although I felt incredibly quiet the whole night, even for me, but it was pretty good overall.
Saturday, cleaned my car up for senior pics(washed, buffed, it looks hot), went to New Vintage for a while, and then left to hang out with my boys, and Harmony, and Sarah, and I believe it was Carmine(not sure exactly if thats right). That was pretty sweet just hanging out, playing games, even though we pretty much sucked at all the games we played. Except pool, of course, since I am pro. I will come back to several points for Saturday, just let me finish my weekend synopsis.
Sunday was church, senior pics, and Intersect. Senior pics went well I think, I will get the pics back in a while, and will post them then, but for now you can be excited that my one outfit, my car, and my guitar all looked very attractive.
Music: Nothing except that UnderOaths album comes out tomorrow and I'm stoked as soon as I can go by the bank to get the money to buy it.
Basketball. Still helping out with middle school, I have the desire to shoot 200 shots a day but I just dont have the time right now. Steph Curry is a beast dropping 34.
Now, Saturday. I remembered while playing foosball and pool at Harmony's just how ridiculously competitive I am. For some reason I had forgotten this a bit. I found myself rather displeased(not angry because I'm not dumb, its just a game) that I lost at these games. During the games I was quite intense, even though I was doing trbl.
And that's it. I hate losing. If I do something, I want to do it 100%, and I want to be the best at it. It bothers me if I lose. Obviously this doesnt apply to every aspect of life, but it comes up in quite a few, especially anything that remotely involves winning somehow. Call it a drive for perfection or something, but it has its ups and downs. 1. It's not so good when playing board games(which I also suck at) 2. It doesnt really work at school(I'm not too driven to"win" in that category, I'm well aware I cannot beat Trav on the SAT). But, 3. It is great for work ethic, striving for a goal. Whether it is academic(personally, like getting a good gpa), athletic(working hard on improvement), or professional(getting the job done the best way possible).
Now, New Vintage. For the time I was there Matt ended up talking to me, Polvi, and this guy Conner about being men of faith. He mentioned how we often dont have true men of faith in our lives to model. The main example was not seeing Godly manliness(dont question my wording) in our earthly fathers. I wont go into anything else said, it was all good stuff, praying that we can become the men God wants us to be and such, and I dont know Michael or Connor's backgrounds, but I want to focus on that one point in my life.
I am so thankful for my dad. The example that he has set for me is ridiculous. I really cant think of what to say to express this point. He lives his faith day by day, and sets a standard in his spiritual life, at his workplace, and in our home that I can only pray to God that I will be able to live up to in my future. I have truly been blessed to grow up with my fathers godly wisdom and guidance ready whenever I ask. So thanks Dad, keep doing what your doing.
That's all folks.
