All Time NBA Fan

So this summer has basically swung by pretty fast. I've enjoyed a good part of it. I didn't get to read as much as I hoped, but I'll be okay in school, or at least I hope so. I don't know if I even did anything useful this summer, no work (not that I could anyway), or anything. Just pretty much spent it playing as much basketball as I could. This week has given me some things to think about: my future. It had me thinking about it so much that it inspired me to write this poem up. The poem actually came to me as I was trying to go to sleep. Well at least I think it can be considered a poem, a sucky one anyway, seeing as how I don't really know much about poetry, it's probably just a stanza. For now it doesn't even have a title, and probably not even finished. Anyway, it goes something like this...

Seems as if my blog was dead huh? Well it's not. It is now summer vacation, and well heck yes! Finally done with school, which is the bright side of it. The other side... well, I'm now done with my JUNIOR year of high school, up next is senior year, which is kinda scary. We all knew it had to come though.
Well I've been doing pretty good since my last post. The reason I hadn't posted anything on this thing though is because I was really trying to concentrate on my AP tests, which I hope I did well on. I will know in July though.
In other words, summer... yeah. I don't know what I'm going to do with it just yet. I wanted to read all my AcaDec resources again as I did last year. The thing is that I probably won't be getting my resources for another two weeks. Then I would also like to get a job, I wish I could get a job anyways. Pretty hard for me to get a job in this world though, so I don't quite know if this will happen. One thing that does have to come out of this summer is action... hope so anyways. I'm pulling for that bill!

So with it being Friday, spring break is pretty much over, only the weekened is left, and a weekend it should be. I have North Texas Food Bank tomorrow for NHS, and Sunday... I see myself doing that calculus take home test that I was reluctant to do. I've been, well trying to get some rest this spring break. I was originally planning on catching up on reading these princeton review AP books, but that hasn't happened. Instead, the only reading that I've done this week is of The Jungle by Upton Sinclair. It's a really nice book, well so far anyways. I can really see how this book had an effect on society in the early 1900s leading to the passage of the Pure Food and Drug Acts. I can also see how this book could affect society yet again today. The family in this book is of immigrant decent struggling through the wilderness of the city (Chicago). The reason I say that it could affect society again today is because this book, published in 1906, a time when there was much immigration, reminds the American people, who are decendants of those immigrants, that many started life in America very hard, obtaining any job that they could get their hands on, and determined to keep it. Sounds familiar? Well it should because many hispanics are playing the same role today, more or less anyways. Well this is just the way I see it anyhow.

School is coming back, and I just want more rest...

Procrastination is awesome. Okay well maybe not really. It is really dreadfully horrible! To whom ever reads this blog and reads this, take my advice, and don't procrastinate! I have so many things to do, and it's the end of the six weeks. I do find it a bit funny how everything always seems to work out... but I can't rely on that. Funny thing is that I am just blogging to procrastinate even further... I think I should get some homework done now...

So it's been about a month since I last updated. I think I might be making a trend of it. So this new year is going alright so far. AcaDec Regionals were nice. We did way better than last year, just quite wasn't enough though. I'm not so ready to start on it again, like they are having us do, but oh well... not much that can be done. So what else can I say? Mavs are still awesome. Might be second best in the league right now... but that's only for now, they've been numero uno all season long, but hey... at least it's nothing compared to what the heat are doing.... hahahaha heat...
Okay so I think I might be ready to really start cracking down on school this semester, now that acadec is over with anyhow. That does mean that I have to get registered for the SAT... I wonder how that'll turn out. Just have to wait and see.

So 2006 is pretty much over. A whole lot of things have happened, so it's okay to say that it's been a very crazy year. It's gone from my first Regional AcaDec competition, to going through the stress of preparing for AP tests, to waiting for the results, not to mention a fun summer of Pre-Cal, which included really fun basketball (which is the fun part really, not the math part), all the way to winning AcaDec District Competition. Yeah, that's been my year, well in a quick summary anyways. As for the time being, I am enjoying this break very much. Who ever knew that sleep could do someone this much good? Well it's done me good anyways. The thing that keeps on bugging me are grades, I wanna know my grades for the semester already! Pretty anxious I am. I have to be patient though... I mean look what happened to Cartman from South Park in that episode where he couldn't wait for the Nintendo Wii to come out right? haha... I will not freeze myself.

So I'm on winter break. It's going by rather nicely, it'll get better if I actually do get something for Christmas this year, and it looks like I might, so it might just get better! It's rather nice not having to do any homework for a change, except maybe study for AcaDec, but at this point I don't feel like doing anything except resting, oh well. Okay so not much else to say at the time, so stay tuned (if anyone reads this) for the next segment of winter break... haha.

So district competition is this Saturday, and I just don't feel as ready as I could be. I know I've learned more things, but just reflecting on how I did last year... I hope I don't do the same. Then again of course this year's competition will have a completely different scenerio all around. So I don't know how it'll turn out this year... I definately know that I won't have specific things on my mind, as I did last year, with it being my birthday and all. This year my birthday is the day AFTER district. How convenient no? So all I hope is that we do awesome as a team and that our hard work pays off. Hopefully this is our year.

Alright so I decided it was time to change this blog up a bit, so as you can see it is now all different, and quite cool I think. Yep so besides this Thanksgiving break. Well it's been here and there so far, only two days of it, and it hasn't been much of a break. I've had to go to AcaDec meetings Monday and Tuesday, and then putting that aside I've had to do some homework early on. Of course I've only been doing doing this to ease things up a bit, otherwise I'll be trying to do everything the last minute. I think this probably means that I am getting over my procrastination, which is nothing but good news.
Well of course Invitationals has passed, and District is approaching, and I hope I can do way better than I did last year, and better than I did at Invitationals. Let's hope I can study hard and make it pay off.

So as the title gives off it's been kind of a stressful week. The one thing that triggers the whole thing though is AcaDec, invitational to be more specific. It's kind of hard trying to study and then having to do your homework at the same time. Oh and then when you fall behind... ahhh, yeah that's what seems to be happening with Doc's class. I find myself constantly having to catch up, I know it's bad but there just really isn't much I can do to prevent it. Right now I need to read The Handmaid's Tale... and I've only gotten to chapter 8! Well you certainly know it hasn't been a good week when you are sick and Mavs are 0-3 on top of it all. Hopefully Mavs pull off a win tonight against the L.A. Clippers though. Man I hope I feel better soon, I sure don't to be sick on Saturday! Well we'll see what happens though, and I'll stop now because homework duty calls!

So today I went and looked at what can probably be a future job. I looked into the field of... picking up trash. Oh that was a crazy experience. You learn quite a bit from picking up so much trash, like when you're picking up trash deep in the trees and stuff, yeah, you just MIGHT want to watch out where you step, for what you step in may be a brown gushy substance that a dog left just for you... Yes, but in other words I also got to play basketball today, yay! It had been such a long time, like about a month! Yeah, it's always nice to play, it is quite relieving, and then it rained. The rain was nice, I had forgotten how nice it is to be out there in the rain, felt like a little kid :D hehe. Yeah, but rained caused me not to go out and see Sunset pull off a victory, and they won too... Why do they have to win the games that I don't go to?... Oh well, maybe I should miss every game from now on, who knows, but yes, basketball awesome, compared to that gushy mushy stuff in the bushy present from a dog, ah yes.

Yes people I am alive, haha, I'm speaking as if anyone reads this, but you never know these days. Okay well I guess I haven't blogged since before school started... so I guess I should talk about school then. Well school has been how should I put it... not like sophomore year. Yes, I think that fits. I so think I'm not going to make it by the time all is done and gone. Let's put it this way, AcaDec and AP classes don't mix well, and if you want a worse scenerio, just ask Gonzalo about sports, AcaDec, and AP classes, he'll tell you how it is. The bad thing about this is that I'm like not caring for AcaDec as much anymore... or at least that's how I feel right now, maybe when I see the latest ranks I'll care and turn it up a notch, hopefully anyways. I guess that I just need to go through failure to come back up, that's how it works for me anyways. Oh well, I don't know how to handle all of this, it's just a bit overwhelming, and I'm not looking forward to that calculus six weeks test... Oh how I miss band, I used to be able to relax just by playing a couple of notes on my sax... how I miss those days... maybe a complementary good will emerge or something, haha, at least I'm getting better with economics :-D. I still miss my sax though...

So yeah, I'm here at the mall posting this...hehe, ain't if just cool? Well let's see, what's there to say? Yeah... not really much to say, just wanted to post this while I was here, cuz it's funny! Well I find it funny anyways, yep. Oh yeah, and Leonel is over here on myspace haha, he found a way to get on despite it being blocked, funny it is, yeah and Geo is here looking at Leo be on myspace and me typing this up. Yes, in other words Clerks II. Yeah, that is HILARIOUS!!! That movie had me like crying out of laughter, didn't think it would do that, but lookie here, it had me rolling! Yes, so now the question is... is this enough blogging from the mall? Yeah... I say it is. Yep.

Ah I dunno why I'm posting something, I guess it's probably because I'm bored, have nothing to do, and don't want to go to bed just yet. There really isn't anything I want to say, just felt like blogging lol. You can stop reading this right now if you want, the rest is probably not going to be any important, but unless you find yourself as bored as I am right now, by all means, continue with the reading. Well I guess I can talk about my summer so far (because it's been so exciting), well um Pre-Cal, that's all I got to say, got the first semester under my belt, and working on the second. So I am almost home free and set for the summer. I really can't wait until Pre-Cal is over with, lots of work, but anyhow... I think I...am...finished...blogging..now....yeah, that's it.

Well Mavs didn't win tonight, and that means that the Miam Heat are the new NBA Champions. You HAVE to congratulate the Mavs on having an AWESOME season. They tied a franchise record for 60-22, Dirk had a carreer high in scoring average, then when the playoffs came around they swept the Memphis Grizzlies, had what can probably be considered to be the BEST series in a very long time against San Antonio, and advanced to the Western Conference Finals where they took down Steve Nash and his Phoenix Suns. This was a great NBA Finals matchup, but Heat came out on top, no blaming it on the reffs. Congratulations to the Miami Heat for winning the championship, but CONGRATULATIONS
to the Dallas Mavericks!

still sucks though....
