You have a blog??

The other day at school i told one of my friends that i had a blog. It came up in english class and once she finally stopped laughing she asked me if i was serious. I was hurt...not really but i like to make people feel bad for a little so i acted like it was. But then i got to thinking why do i really have a blog?? what is the point of me putting down these words online that only a few of my relatives and now maybe a couple of my friends will look at when they get bored. Well i guess being bored is kind of what started all of this. You see over christmas break andrea, my sister, showed me that she had a blog and i read one of her posts and for some reason i was drawn into it and somewhat mesmerized. So right then and there i decided to make my own blog and the rest is history.

Actually i dont think you can call this history...at least not yet. This is just a place where i can vent to no one in particular and just write down all those things that i havent gotten off my chest throughout the day. but this also got me thinking. What ever happened to the privacy of a diary of journal?? "Back in the day" people used to write down their daily activities in their own personal journal/diary and hit it under their bed so that no one could read it. Now in the 21st centure we post all of our happenings, with all the juicy details, online for everyone to read whenever they desire. im not saying that blogging is bad but it just amazes me how it can draw you in and make you type things that under most normal circumstances you wouldnt even say. so for now ill just keep typing random posts about nothing important at all because i dont have any juicy interesting stories...i live in amish country for petes sake. And Devon, dont worry, i forgive you for laughing at me...i know its weird that i have a blog. but you should expect weirdness out of me...its part of my nature.

time to go to bed and wake up to another day filled with pointless calculus and physics.... so goodnight blogging world....ill visit again when i have something worth typing....

Bulldog beatdown

Well i am all of a sudden in the mood to blog again...ive taken about half a month off and i finally realized that i have enough to say so here we go. Basketball is still in full swing and my team is actually playing good. we pulled off a major upset the other night against our cross town rival dalton and we are now 3-0 in games that are decided by 1 point. and we have won two 1 point game in the span of a week. tuesday we beat out heritage christian by one as well. now this dalton win was sweet in so many ways. not only do i just not like the entire dalton community but especially their sporting community. we came in probably close to 20 point underdogs and i garentee the 7 guys that play on my varsity were some of the few that actually believed we had a chance. Before the game our coaches asked us how we wanted to be remembered as a team and as an individual player and how we wanted to be percieved by the fans. Words like "consistent" "always works hard" "all out all the time" "leader" "never flustered" "plays with heart" were plastered all over the board. so our coaches come walking in and the first thing that they do is erase every thing on there. the said those were just words and that the meant nothing. we had to go out and prove it. i took this as a challenge and im sure the rest of the guys did to. so with the biggest crowd i have ever played in front of and our student section out-shouting theirs (which is really really rare) we came out and played the best game we have to this point this year. they were stronger then us, quicker, and frankly just flat out more athletic then us but it didnt matter. we wanted it more then them and we got it because we never got flustered and we played as a team. there is no star player on our team we have only had one person score over 20 points twice this year. if you guard one of us the other 4 will kill you. so in the first ever regular season meeting between central and dalton....Central 1 dalton ZERO...so take that bulldogs...you have nothing on us.
