Mmmmm School

Today instead of getting a ride home from kenny, i decided to walk up to Beverly Road.. Normally this means sitting outside and smoking cigaretts, but today i realized that i had a bunch of homework to do. So i pulled out the ol' books and started reading my english book, Cat's Cradle... Its a pretty good read for high school english. In ended up sitting there for an hour and a half. That was more homework than i've worked on for a long time. I have a bad english grade so it was important that i did this reading... All in all, i've found a good place for me to study, and its outside the coffee tree. Well thats it for this post, say hi to your mother for me

Matt Cooke

Alright, now that i've blogged about music about a billion times, im gonna change to my second favorite thing... Hockey... and not just any kind of hockey, Penguins Hockey.
Its the start of a new season, the pens are 1-1-1, not quite the start that i've been hoping for but it'll be alright. This offseason has been one of the most active in quite a while, we resigned Malkin, lost malone, laraque, ruutu, and hossa.. But we also picked up Satan, Fedotenko, and this other guy named Matt Cooke.. I actually really like this pickup, he's a lot like ruutu, he's got grit with a mix of scoring touch... He's a Vancouver Canuks fan favorite and will quickly become a Pittsburgh Penguin fan favorite. Here's his highlites from Vancouver.

Update

Hey guys, this blog is really an update on my life as of right now. Lately i've been pretty depressed, not sure why, but through prayer and meditation, im searching my soul. If my mood doesn't seem up to par, its because of my un-sure-ed-ness (is that a word) of my future. Theres so many career choices out there. SO STRESSFUL. I know God has a great plan for me, but how do i fulfill his future goals for me? How am i supposed to know what to do? These questions haunt me at night when im supposed to be sleeping, and at school when im supposed to be working. My piano playing is actually improving (i think), but im not sure what my future with piano holds. I feel like piano/keyboard is all im good at, i know im wrong, but thats all i want to do. Im still writing that song entitled "my prayer", but my perfectionism and idiocy is whats keeping me from finalizing it. I keep writing lyrics, then throwing them away because they're "too cheezy" or not "rhythmically accurate". But other than that, my life hasn't been going that bad, i just got my drivers license today and im really excited about that. I guess in summation, my life has been normal, happy, sad, confused, cloudy, and needing of some good, solid rest.

Frank Bell

Ok, i found this guy on Youtube, he's one of the many youtubers to "make it" in the music world. I think his style is very unique, but i love it. His voice is awesome, reminds me of sort of the guy from maroon 5, and justin timberlake. I wasn't sure which video to post so i'll give you a link to his youtube page and i'll also just put this video up for ya'll.

J Town

So i just returned from jtown. It was probably the best jtown for me spiritually. The band was really good, the speaker wasn't bad, and i really think we bonded really well with each other. Football was really fun this year. One thing i remember, is when we locked dylan outside when he had just his shorts on and socks. It was really funny, we asked him to go to the girls cabin, he was too chicken, so i put some shorts on and we both went to the girls cabin shirtless and asked for shirts. It turned out to be pretty fun.

Paul Carrack - Eyes of Blue

I'm sorry about this, i know this is my second post about music in a row, but music is really a big link to God,  secular or not. This is Paul Carrack, in my opinion, he's one of the best keyboard players/songwriters of all time.  He's truely an inspiration to me.

Running (dying to live)

Warning: Profanity



This song was mixed after both biggie and tupac died.
It really has a good meaning.
The particular singer really has some good points that i think people (especially gangsters) should listen to.

"You know, I wonder if they'll laugh when I'm dead...
Why am I fighting to live
If I'm just living to fight?
Why am I trying to see
When there ain't nothing in sight?
Why am I trying to give
When no one gives me a try?
Why am I diying to live
If I'm just living to die?"

Please

Pivotal Point In my Life


Well yesterday at work around 4 o'clock, i had been doing the usual. I was sitting out behind the shop, smoking... It was my 7th cigarette of the day. I was fine until one of my good friends, Meho, said, "It kills me to see you throw your life away," i was somewhat flabergasted... I thought to myself, i'm not throwing my life away, whats he talking about. "Its really hard to see someone your age smoking and pretty much trying to be a smoker" he continued. "I'm no saint, but if i could go back 20 years ago and never start smoking, i probably wouldn't be working here. I started thinking more, he was right, smoking really is stupid, and no matter how good the buzz, it will just leave you wanting more, and thats how an addiction starts.

By yesterday I was fully blown addicted to tobacco. At the beginning of the summer, i bought a tin of Chew, to celebrate the end of the school year. I know some of my friends knew what flavor it was, so i would continue to buy that flavor, to cover up the fact that i chewed. On the outside, i thought people who chewed were hard, and inwardly, i wanted to be hard. After the Dominican Republic, I started smoking cause it was quicker and easier than chewing. Once the week of surf city rolled around, i had been smoking a little less than a pack a day. I was at the lowest of lows. My addiction to tobacco kept me away from jesus.

Yesterday, i decided to end it all. I decided that jesus, and the realationships that i have with my friends, are more important than anything. Even trying to fit in with the croud. I had always though that the kids who smoked looke cool. And i wanted to be like that. I ended it all yesterday. I got in a feuded argument with one of my mentors about something that i couldn't admit was a problem. At that point, i really just wanted a cigarette, and i feel really stupid for even getting in that argument.

The next month will be incredibally difficult for many reasons. I picked a bad time to quit smoking, School is getting into full swing and thats what i need to focus on. But the only thing that i will be able to focus on is smoking. My withdrawal will be intense, and hard, and i won't get very much sleep. Luckily, i have awesome friends who love me and will help me get through this. The # 1 thing that i need to focus on through all this is Jesus. He will have made me go through this for a reason. I think its to help me become a leader. Please don't feel offended in any way if i am mean to you through this next month or so. Right now i have a huge headache, and i will tomorrow, and the next day, and the next day.
