The Boredom Carries On
i'll start with track like i always do....i went down to chicago to run another last chance meet with some alma people. we stayed at our coach's son's condo-apartment thing. my 800 came up at 9 at night and it was awesome. mid 60s, under the lights, light wind; perfect. got shuffled back at the start and was 2nd to last coming through the first lap in 58.5. right then i knew it was slow, so i moved to lane 2 to start going. 3/4 through the turn i had to stop because the guy infront of me cut me off and would have forced me to lane 3. on the back stretch i passed the chase pack of 3-4people. with 200 to go i was bookin'. in lane 2 still i passed the entire pack of 10ish people. i was on the heels of the guy in 2nd place but couldn't get to him. i finished with a 58.1 2nd lap and a pr of 1:56.61....good enough for 6th on alma's list.
i came back home, but still cannot get a job anywhere...even at places actually hiring. that is beyond frustrating for me. i actually really want to work so i can have money on me. i have about $18 to my name, good enough for like 3.5gallons of gas in this great country of ours. so without a job all i do is sit around all day feeling like i'm wasting my summer and life. i'd want to visit people since i have nothing else to do, but i don't have the money to.
i started to skateboard again, but once more i am worse than the summer before. i used to be good at one point in time, like really good. not to sound cocky but i was. i was known for my new flip tricks and things that people hadn't done before. i could do gaps, rails, stairs, ledges, transitions....all of it. each summer i seem to get worse only because i do and try less. i care too much about my sports that i don't try things anymore for fear of hurting myself. oh well....as long as i'm still having fun cruising around it's all good to me.
i have something else i'd like to say/talk about...but i can't at the moment. if you really want to know so badly since i mentioned it, you can shoot me a message or im me or something.
i really hope i can visit somebody in the near future. for some reason they've been on my mind constantly for the past week or so. i think and hope it's a good thing because all i want to do is talk to them, even if it's about nothing and nonsense. i don't know where i am or was going with this, but since it's my personal writing area i felt it was worth a mention just because i say so.
it's thunderstorming and that scares me. i'm not a fan.
