So my week's been pretty good despite me getting a cold. Actually to be honest the only good thing that happened was getting a job at Best Buy, and what's even better, it's in the home theater department! HDTVs and surround sound systems are my thing!
Actually since Thanksgiving break started I haven't been working out or eating right, so I feel like crap. I got a cold which has been off and on all week causing me to miss Monday and Thursday of school.
Well, I don't feel like writing anymore, so have a good day

Emancipation
So some things have happened in the past week that have put me back on track and will make life a lot easier. First off, I got my driver license just a month shy of my 17th birthday. About damn time. Fuck. I thought I'd never get that thing. I also got a new cell phone. It's pretty sweet; it's called the G'zOne (geez - one) by Casio.
We changed from AT&T to Verizon because AT&T was going to charge us extra to change our plan. We were paying $150 a month and last month we used a whole 7 minutes, so my mom told them to forget about it, and we switched to Verizon wireless, and I have to say I love the new phone. My phone meets military requirements; it's very rugged, very durable, waterproof, sandproof, whatever-proof. I read a review, and the guys tested it in whatever way they could. They slammed it on concrete and it held up, they made calls underwater and could here the other person just fine, and even the bluetooth worked while it was in a vase full of water. They also put it in a bag of flour, shook it up, washed it off, and it worked fine. It's kind of bulky, but nothing that'll get in the way. It's grown on me a lot, and it even has a flashlight.
Moving on to me getting my license. I was glad I didn't get the old hag that has a personal vendetta against every teenager trying to get their license. I got this pretty cool cop, Byers I think was his name. The first thing I did when I backed up was run over the little curb in the parking lot that had the flowers and shit in them. Yeah...not a good start, but it was funny, because he was like, "I know this is a Jeep, but lets keep the off roadin to a minimum." It was great. Nonetheless I passes by three points (73) and got my license. I think considering it was raining, early, and I was driving a standard stick shift, he went a little easier on me. I parallel parked for the first time ever and passed, and I'd only been told how to do it once.
The day I got my license I drove from my house in Webb to Grove, Oklahoma to see my grandma. Then the next day went to my cousin's house in Seneca and to my brother's in Pittsburg. I had Thanksgiving at my cousin's house, and it was pretty damn good. Then again, all food to me is godly. I think if I was granted one superpower it would be the ability to summon any type of food right in front of me, and it would be perfectly cooked or made or processed or whatever. On Friday my sister and her boyfriend, Dan, drove my brother and I up to Derby, Kansas with them to see our dad for Thanksgiving. Lori prepared some good smoked turkey, and my bro and I both agree it was better than the turkey our grandma's had made us.
After going back to Pittsburg my brother and I came back to my house and here we are; it's his turn on the Xbox playing Call of Duty 4, and I'm writing about my life and how getting a new phone and a driver license is the most exciting thing that will happen in my life until I get a job, which will be soon now that I'm driving. Well, I'm going to go now.
Have a good time doing...whatever it is you do when you get done reading this,

Mouse Hunt
It's back. Today I saw the mouse with the little white spot on its back. It's an elusive little bastard. I've trapped it twice and it comes back for more. It's amazing how smart mice are, as if brain size matters, psht! Why do you think they use mice in labs? Exactly. So this persistent little prick is living beneath my kitchen sink. I'm afraid I'm left out of options -- it must die.
Other than that my day's been pretty good. School was okay, and I'm really starting to get the picture of what boxing is going to be like this year. Yesterday I woke up at 430am, ran 3.1 miles and then lifted for an hour. Today after school I came home and did six rounds on the heavy bad, and then ran seven miles. I don't know what really got over me, I got done with the punching bag and just felt like running! I didn't even get a shirt or take my hand wraps off; I just went. I ran all the way to my school and up Aylor hill, an almost 90 degree hill by the way, and then ran all the way to the bridge, which requires I go down this really curvy road that's all down hill. But that only means the whole way back is uphill. It was a nice workout. I came home, ate a nice meal, and am now watching I Robot.
Anyway, I have to go now. I hope you find fun in whatever you do, because God knows how bored you must be to be reading this.

Cardinals
I haven't updated my blog, and seeing as how I have some time to kill I might as well. It'll be hard to remember everything that's happened in the past two weeks.
The week after districts I started lifting more; not to bulk up or anything, but I was starting to feel a little weak from cross country practice and doing minimal lifting every week. Last Friday I volunteered at Eugene Field Elementary, which was fun. It really is amazing to be around kids that young, because you notice some things. You remember how fun it was being a kid, innocent and ignorant. Most of them haven't even realized the concept of conformity, seeing as there were some very extreme kids. One kid had a rock-hard mo-hawk that was pretty sweet. There a lot of shy kids, which reminded me of myself. I don't blame them I suppose, seeing as how I probably look really big to them since I'm a junior in high school.
I can remember when I was little. The main thing I remember was everything was much bigger. A room which I would find small now would be a mansion to a six year old me. I remember way back in the day -- way, way back in the day -- before I moved to Texas and still lived in Webb City, my cousins, Clay, went to this daycare called Pinocchio's on Main Street. When I think back I remember walking in with my grandma to pick up my cousin, and looking way up at the ceiling. In my mind I remember it being at least twenty feet high, but every time I drive by it it's not larger than small bedroom, with ceilings I could bump my head on if I were to jump.
This is just one example that I find funny. Tonight there's another carnival for the kids at my high school, but because I thought it was taking place somewhere where I needed a ride I told Mrs. Rose that I couldn't make it. When I found out it was at the high school it was too late to be able to volunteer to help. I wish I'd known sooner; I really enjoyed working with the little ones and their bright faces...it kind of makes you forget about all the troubles in life, but this may be something you'd have to experience for yourself before you knew what I was talking about.
Anyway, after last Friday's volunteer work we went to Rachel's house. She has a really nice house with an awesome theater room. I mean she has theater reclining seats, free candy and popcorn, a mini-fridge...everything. Not to mention the wall projector with projects about a 60-70" picture. I took The Shining with Jack Nicholson, one of his best movies ever. Personally, when he goes crazy it cracks me up, especially when we first realize "Okay, this guy is freakin losing it, beat him over the head with that baseball bat already." The best part is when he says, "I'm not gonna hurt ya. Windy. Darling. Light -- of my life. I'm not gonna hurt ya. You didn't let me finish my sentence. I said, 'I'm not gonna hurt ya. I'm just gonna bash your brains in.' I'm just gonna bash them right the fuck in..he he he." Hysterical! And if you think I'm nuts I'm sure you're guilty of laughing at at least one inappropriate moment.
Another thing that I thought was funny was that a few of the girls we were with thought I could be related to Windy. Yes. That weird looking, goofy teethed woman that played Jack's wife. I hope to God I don't resemble her that much....maybe it was just the big eyes. Hopefully.
After that the weekend slumped and then the week was worse. All year long the Webb City Cardinal football team went undefeated; 10-0. Then, come districts, we lose our first game by one point to our most hated rivals every, Carthage. They hadn't beaten us in twenty years (which comes out to about 22 games), and we were on a 40-something winning streak. Talk about a kick to the nuts. Honestly though, I feel like we needed it. You haven't truly won until you've lost, and after never losing a game our football team was getting pretty big-headed. I just feel sorry for the seniors who didn't get to go to state this year. Carthage was really rude too. Sure, you had your usual celebration, but they cussed at some of our managers and tore down our student banners and ripped them up on the field. Not only that, but their band walked on Landon after he missed the pass and was still laying on the field. Total disrespect. They didn't even get to shake hands after the game.
The next day at school was like a funeral. A fist fight broke out in one of the homerooms between a couple of sophomores who were blaming each other for the loss. I have to say those sophomores don't even know; they have two years left to get to state.
Anyway, that's been about it. After Ryan gets done with volunteering at the carnival he's picking me up and we're going to Rachel's again to watch Se7en, starring Brad Pitt and Morgan Freeman. It's pretty much one of the best, if not the best crime thriller ever made. If you haven't seen it, you truly are missing out on a great cinematic adventure.
Have a fantastic weekend,
