Valentine's Day

Oh my god, my favorite time of the year is coming up(... not), Valentine's Day!
Let me tell you something about this special holiday, it's just like Christmas. Valentine's Day is for the spoiled. Those that want everything and get everything they want. Let's Elaborate. The idea of V-day is that you get a special day of the year to celebrate the love between you and your special someone. The chances of having a special someone to spend this day with is the same chance you'll have parents that go out of the way to fool you into thinking that everything you wanted is under a tree with a star on it because of some fat ass in a red suit. You must be thinking I'm some cynical dick face right now, you're pretty much right but I wasn't always this way. Actually, I was the complete opposite. I use to think that fate was real. "Everyone has a special someone that they will eventually end up with no matter what decision they make in life." Everyone has a happy ending. (Too bad that's not the case) I would listen to cupcake music all the time and thought my life could relate with the words. (lol.. ) I pictured myself in a relationship with kisses on the cheek, holding hands in the hallway , and talking late night on the phone.


A lot has changed throughout the years. Ultimately my beliefs now are simply explained in the irony of this last picture.

Simplot Games

Exactly two weeks from now I'm going to be in Pocatello, Idaho for my first track meet of the year. I've been training for this season since August. Although I've given up so much for this track season, I know it's going to be worth it when I step out on that track.

When the fighters are all around
All the lovers are underground
No one will save you anymore
So what's happening, what you rapping about?
It's a boy. Is it cars? Is it girls? Is it money?
The world?

The truth is that I was never really that fast when it comes to running. I've had chronic shin splints bothering me since day one on the track. No excuse. Although the odds were against me, I'm working past it all and I dropped 2 seconds off my hundred time in the last couple of months. Now I'm about to run at a national level in just two weeks. I'm nervous but I'm not scared. In an individual sport like track, your teammates can't pick up your slack. Whatever your coach says after you do something wrong doesn't make anything better since its all you. Well when I step out on the track, I'm gonna get it. I don't care if I'm going up against the fastest people my age. I'm still gonna catch 'em. This is what I want, I'm running for myself and not anyone else. Whatever it takes. No regrets.
