Crisis

This picture right here is a picture of a pole in my basement showing my height on February 24, 2008 (ok I know it doesn't seem like much of a crisis now but you'll see where I'm going with this). It's about 5' 9". So the other day I was in the basement with my dad and I was curious to see how much I had grown since then. So I put my back against the board, being pretty excited to see the progress in my growing and then all of a sudden this excitement was interrupted when my dad said, "You're exactly the same."

Exactly the same? I rechecked it one more time and it was the same. I have not grown one bit! I'm still at the same stinkin' height of 5' 9''. It's been about three and a half months, almost four since I last measured myself. I should've grown by then. Is this the end? Or am I hitting a long lull of growing? I don't want to be 5' 9" for the rest of my life! My dad's 6' tall. Am I going to be looking up to my dad forever? I thought I would at least reach his height and grow a little bit more after that. But I haven't even got close! I'm three inches shorter. What is the deal! Well I guess there is nothing I can do about it. Maybe I'll start growing again. If not, I guess I'll just have to live with being short...oh well.

A Burst of Happiness

Since I couldn't find the charger to my ipod (ok not really I just call it that, it's really just a cheap knock-off) I have sadly been without music for the past three months. It was a very sad time (if you want to shed a tear for me please feel free to do so). But yesterday I finally found it and I began to listen to sweet music once again. I couldn't believe how great it was! It was as if the angels began to sing hosana from the heavens above. However I seriously am in need of some new songs. There's a ton of songs I want, the problem is just getting them. But really, if there is anything that I am addicted to in this world, it's my ipod.

Just a little catchup

Once upon a time there was a boy name Sean who decided to read a bunch of the posts that he had missed during the great famine of reading/posting/commenting/all that stuff. One day he read one by Ali called 10 years ago. He then realized that he had been tagged and he said to himself "How rude. I didn't post back." He then posted on it. It went something like this...

10 years ago I was 6 in first grade with Mrs. Jorgensen. I don't remember anything about her except that she was old. I have a very bad memory and I don't remember anything about my first grade except that I went to school and I probably played soccer.

5 things to do today

What would I do if I was suddenly made a billionaire?

Who really cares. If I was a billionaire I could pretty much buy anything I wanted anytime I wanted to. But if you want to know what I would do first, I would buy a corvette.

2. I helped take out carpet at someone's house
3. I guess I babysat a few times
4. Chores and getting allowence (don't know if that counts)
5. I'm lifeguarding this summer

3. Writing posts takes me longer than it should
4. I love seinfield as much as the office (ok some people know that one)
5. I could eat all day

And I don't think anyone hasn't been tagged but your free to do it if you haven't.

Too Much TIME!

Hello it's me again. At the moment I have been more bored than I have ever been this year. I now have absolutely nothing else to do and have resorted to writing something that hopefully will get rid of that. I've always been busy this year doing one thing or another, especially that last couple of months with tennis and preparing for the ap euro test. I have now entered a huge transition from having everything to do, to having nothing to do. The torture is killing me! Anyways I have now posted for two consecutive days-marking the first consecutive two day posting of the year (hurray). But sadly this torture is killing me so much I can't even think of what to write about. Man, I am truly miserable. Sorry, guys. I hope I get out of this prison soon!

Quotes

There's nothing like a great quote. It seems like everyone has their favorite one memorized that they never forget. I know a lot of you guys have a list of your favorite quotes which I think is pretty cool. So I've decided to start my own. My list is very short so if you have one that you think is a good one, go ahead and tell it to me.

And while I'm talking about quotes, I want to share one of my favorite ones that I have so far. I got it from seminary, so sorry if I'm getting churchy on you. But it really is a great quote. It's by C. S. Lewis.

"No man knows how bad he is till he has tried very hard to be good. A silly idea is current that good people do not know what temptation means. This is an obvious lie. Only those who try to resist temptation know how strong it is. After all, you find out the strength of the German army by fighting against it, not by giving in. You find out the strength of a wind by trying to walk against it, not lying down. A man who gives in to temptation after five minutes simply does not know what it would have been like an hour later. That is why bad people, in one sense, know very little about badness. They have lived a sheltered life by always giving in. We never find out the strength of the evil impulse inside us until we try to fight it."

Slowly Returning

So, it's been about a month and a half since I last posted or commented. I've have now broken my record for isolation. With that I mind, I decided to start all over, to start nice and fresh. It's time to start pouring out all of these ideas that I have got bottled up in my head for the past month and a half. The hardest part was finding time to do it. Now that tennis is basically over, and just less than two weeks until the ap test (holy crapola), I am starting to find some spare time. Speaking of time, I'm pretty much out of it for today. Well, at least I have wiped off some of the dust that was accumulating on my keyboard and figured out my name and password after a few tries. See you soon.
