quest for the perfect jeans...

wowzers..ive been slackin on postin on here...

well tonight felt like the best night to get back into the swing of things...i need to vent..lol.

hmmm soo in a nutshell,, whats been up with me? love lost, love gained, etc etc...that pretty much sums it up.

Well i'm sittin here with my ipod "Slow Jamz" playlist on shuffle....john legend just came on....im tryin to relax..and i'm about to get some intense stretching going because i have a track meet tomorrow and i need to get ready...speakin of track..its actually going good. i'm really close to the regional cut in one of my events and i'd feel rather good about myself if i got it..so thats my goal. it wasn't until this last meet this past thursday that my attitude towards this season turned for the better..idk it was just a very productive, good meet for me.

today was the first day of spring! i love spring...one of the biggest reasons why is b/c it is that much closer to summer..but really i love spring b/c so much good happens during spring...spring break, nice weather.....ahhh its just nice..the perfect consistency of warm and cool...usually...(nc weather can be unpredictable)..

soo tonight i spent my night unfortunately...at the mall..i know i know i like the mall its just, i was suppose to go see one of the local high school productions of West Side Story (which i heard was AMAZING), but instead had to spend it at the mall trying to get together an outfit for tomorrow night. well you see tomorrow night is my bestfriends 16th birthday and shes havin a little get together tomorrow night at a restaurant downtown..im soooooo excited. it should be fun. well anywhooo..my main reason on goin to the mall was to get her gift..but i need somethin to wear tomorrow night....and i probably tried on a good 15 pair of jeans....aghhh yea...but o well i think im gonna go to the sunday matinee` show of the musical cuz i think its one not to miss...

shoot i know theres more to say but my mind is elsewhere at the moment..well off to stretch and prepare for what looks to be quite an eventful day tomorrow....later.

its a new dawn, a new day, a new life for me;

and i'm feelin' good.


that song (the michael buble cover to be specific) perfectly illustrates how i feel right now. what a week it has been. Not only have i found it highly productive, but also full of suprises!!!

for once since this semester started i actually felt as though this week i could finally start to put things into perspective. Like, for the first few weeks of the new classes it was sort of challengin adjustin from pretty much no work to a copious amount each night, but now i feel as though i have a hold on things...which is nice.

sooo tonight i hung out with that special someone....we went to the mall where i met their friends (big step), and then headed over to a movie...somethin we've done quite a BIT! lol. It was just nice spendin my evenin with them. I feels good to love, and be loved. That feeling has been absent from my life in that way for so long..that its just comforting to have it back for however long...

soooo today, February 20th, 2009 shall go down into the history books! For it is the day that I got my first car! It came at quite a suprise. I pulled up in my driveway following my little outing and there it was! A black '99 4runner sports edition...so nice. i posted a picture of what it looks like..not my actual one though. I am so greatful and thankful for having such great family/support system. Without them...gosh idk how i'd survive. It was actually kind of sweet how they suprised me. They told me they were going to Raleigh for the day which is normal b/c my dad is always taking business trips to various parts of N.C, but in reality they headed to Greenville to pick up my car. Ahhhhh truly fantastic!

what a perfect ending to the most perfect day!

well i'm about to hit the hay....let all this amazingness soak in!
god bless. =D

L....is for the way you....

well...you know the rest.

so this week has been anything short of interesting...productive maybe but definetly not interesting. besides having test and quizzes and homework up to my neck....its been pretty good. the weather probably made the week. like for february its been absolutely amazing. the perfect consistency of wind and sun...ahhh truly delightful.

outdoor track starts next week! i'm so excited. i am so much more focused and motivated to do better this year. Last year i sort of felt defeated before even started. This year im comin in with a whole new perspective, a whole new attitude, a whole new me perhaps? my goal for this year...is to make it to regionals in the 300 m hurdles (im tryin to be realistic)....but yea i'm pretty confident i'll be able achieve this. just have to focus.

it 'tis the eve of Valentine's Day. probably not my favorite holiday, well actually i know its not (christmas will always hold that spot). I just feel like Valentine's Day is such a biased holiday. It's directed more towards those in a relationship. and yea i know you can spend it with family because that is probably the most strongest love of them all, but it is just not the same. Not having anyone to truly feel that Valentine's Day spirit with...well usually thats the case..anywho. This year i have to work till 10 on Valentines Day...so i had my little outing tonight. Me and a "friend" haha...ok well a little more than that..went out to eat, a movie, and then just hung out for an hour afterwards. It was the first Valentine's Day that i truly felt, felt like a Valentine's Day should...even though it wasn't really Valentine's Day...but close enough...ahhhh what a magical evening....not im gonna go eat this mickey d's...and get a good glass of sweet tea (gotta have it!)..

my advice to you: spend Valentine's Day with the one you truly love...or potentially could...trust me..you won't regret it. Happy Early Valentine's Day to All!

frrrr frrrrrr frridayyyy!

its about time...



oh jeezzz what a first two weeks its been. im pretty exhausted....it feels pretty irrelevant to write about what i did last weekend considerin its old news now but oh well....

sooo last friday i bought a pair of shoes! excitin i know right.....their mad fresh too....that picture doesn't serve them justice. i love them. like i usually am not one to buy a pair of chucks(aka..converses) but i saw em and it was yeppp gotta rock those...ohhhh and i ate at the cheesecake factory...very good very good.

and then saturday evening my youth group from church served dinner at the men's winter shelter. i was a little apprehensive and quite nervous at first..but once i got there it was all good. and im glad i went. this is an overnight shelter so i had the responsibility of checkin the men in and getting them taken care of when they first came in. besides drunk..they were pretty cool dudes. i found out most of them have jobs and such..they just don't have a home. it kind of made me realize not to take what i have for granted. an overall good experience...it feels good doin community service. i suggest anybody whos able to, get involved in someway...you'll benefit from it..trust me.

there was an unexpected snow day thissss week!!! besides the fact that now its goin to take a day away from spring break it was a nice little suprise. i just chilled all day watched a couple movies and kicked back. i was gonna go play some good ol' snow football but by the time i was gonna go the snow was all gone. =( hahaha

ok lets fast forward a few days to this weekend. what am i doing? good question
hmm theres a basketball game tonight i might go to that, i'll call some friends in a bit and get my plans together. it feels so good to be the weekend. thats pretty much what i live for now. tomorrow i have to give this oral presentation as part of this scholarship im tryin to win. wish me luck! i'll beast it, i know.

im quite hyper at the moment...gonna go grab some grub and get close with my ipod..=DDDDD.



heard this quote the other day...its preetty much how i'm going to live my life from now on..."today happened like it did, so tomorrow can happen like it should"...ive been so focused lately that things have been pretty stressful. sometimes you just gotta stop for a few and take a breather ya know?

hUmp day....

and what a dull, busy day it was...

so i'm pretty much hating this semester already. gahh i can't believe its on WEDNESDAY!!! this week has felt like the longest ever..my schedule is no joke. seriously. and even during the period i do have a little time to relax a bit i'm too tired to do that! i didn't go to practice today, and i had a bunch of hw so as soon as a got home i was welcomed with a fresh loaf of banana nut bread...all that was missing was a glass of milk. anywho....so yea as soon as i got home it was straight to the books. now thats not somethin i've done in a long time. which tells me this semester is pretty hardcore (=o). so i've been studyin all night. and you know that feeling after you've studied and your head is full of knowledge. that is now a constant, perpetual feeling! it hurts..who knew knowledge could be so painful...lol.

so ummm other then going over the different declensions of nouns and such of the amazing world of latin 2 and trying to figure out how to solve compound inequalities...i've been catchin up on American Idol and the Real World. fun fun...haha during the week thats as good as it gets...

soo i'm tired..stoked for the weekend..right now its what i live for. oh and saturday i'm volunteerin at a mens shelter. did it last year. its an eye-opening experience.

well off to dream of algebraic equations and latin verb tenses....joy. =\

ready for s'more....school?

soooo its been an interesting few days since my last post. had lots and lots of free time so tried to spend it as productively as i could...i failed. haha countless hours of Man vs. Wild, Mythbusters, and other engaging things. i spent the other part of my time dodging the law...potentially. ok well my friend had a lil get together with some old friends of ours..and random ppl that they brought along..you know how that goes...well it was all fun and games...until they got the bright idea to egg cars/houses. Now i'm not one destroy property so i really wasn't game for this whole schpeeel. so pretty much my whole nite was spent dodgin this what they said "awesome" idea. never knew i could come up with that many excuses. hahaha even though the nite was sucky in all ways possible..me and 2 of my other friends ended up just finishin the nite off w/ a few games of ping-pong. it was more enjoyable then the rest of the nite. lol its funny how things like that work...the simple things huh.

the "crew", a nickname my lil group of guy friends aquired back in the 8th grade, got together saturday nite. we built a fire in my friends backyard and roasted marshmellows and made s'mores. oh how sweet of a nite it was. we were all just chillin talkin and what night. its good to know after all this time we can still just get together and enjoy each others company. it was actually fun buildin the fire...i became the unofficial designated wood getter and went searchin through my friends forest of a backyard findin suitable peices of wood to preserve our fire. had his knife and all. these are the times when i think all that Man vs. Wild is payin off...thanks Bear Grylls!

soooo i should probably be in bed at the moment. actually thats where i plan to head when im done typing this. i just felt i had to let this all out. im pretty stressed. why? idk its the start of a new semester..a clean slate so i should just be relaxed and for the most part i am but i HATE adjustin to change. not only that but i am bad at it, so gimme two weeks and once i settle into a routine and ill be peachy. =D part of my stressing is the toughness of my classes this semester..i actually have to think, ALOT! lol unlike first semester. and i might be changin a class and idk if i should, but i know it'll get me prepared for the future and blah blah blah long-story short....im confused at the moment. oh dear..sleep is callin my name. sweet dreams....

AT LAST; a dream fullfilled.

"free AT LAST, free AT LAST", with those immortal words from Martin Luther King Jrs. famous speech at the Lincoln Memorial to the goosebump stimulating first lyrics of the song that led the first dance of President Obama and First Lady(wow feels so good saying that). it seems to all have come full-circle. Click This---First Dance A day up to this point most people could have only dreamed about now has arrived and what a great day it was. Yes, hes the first black president...but thats not the only thing that makes this such a magnificent occasion. For once i feel as if i can trust the president..believe in him..and know he will make the right decision not for his best interest but for our country. To sum it up, Security...yea thats what it is security.

I spent the greater part of the day getting lost in the words of the freshly sworn in President Obama and the many events/parade that followed; completely disregarding the fact that outside was a white, blanket of snow. I still can't believe right now that all this is happening. Times are a changin'..truly. Even though i'm so young, only 16..i feel as though i was indirectly part of this great feat/ceremony. It has inspired me to go out and do something to benefit others. He has that affect. The only question is..what to do? Well either way i know it is time to stop being the example and start setting it. I vow and pledge to find something to do..to help others..to benefit the community. I must.

well off to bed...last exam tomorrow..biology..ahh! i'm prepared..(i think?)

CONGRATULATIONS TO THE 44th President of These United States BARACK OBAMA!!!!
