Preparing.

Once again I am preparing for something in the future; this time it happens to be for Los Angeles as well as getting ready for basketball come June. I thought that it was pretty crazy that I was able to go running and still be able to play basketball afterward. I think I'll be sore in the next few days if I keep running, I need to get in shape and healthy in general. Ever since I graduated high school I seem even lazier and more unhealthy, I don't want to become like my dad and just let myself go when I can very well do something about it now. On top of that I am doing my part for Lent; what did I give up? I gave up bullshit for Lent. No excuses, no blaming, no stupid things, no dumb people, nothing unnecessary. I like keeping it that way, and as far as things are going it is going pretty well. I haven't been keeping up with the homework that Father Dave assigned at mass on Sunday, so I'll go catch up as soon as I'm done posting this. Our homework was to read one chapter a night in the Bible, so I shall do my part, I have no clue where to start. Lately, I've been doing my own thing and not really hanging out with anybody. Most recently I've been hanging out with Paul and Sonya, but everybody else seemed to just fall off or do there own thing. And to be honest, it doesn't bother me at all I actually really enjoy all the space I'm getting. It happens to be the exact opposite of what last term was, and my grades are here to reflect the difference. With much contemplation, I have been debating what to do with certain people, especially with what I have taken under my fast for Lent. I feel it is right to cut off more people, specifically for reasons that they have brought up themselves. I'm not here to baby anybody or give anybody special treatment, and when what I do and am willing to do for people is taken for granted, I don't take it very lightly. I will handle them on my own time and figure it accordingly. Since I've started running there's been a few things on my mind when I run: success. And generally speaking, success is psychological and based completely upon self-will. Quite simply, if you don't want it, you will never reach the success you seek to obtain. And the way I see it, it's not about strides, it is about baby steps. Nothing great was accomplished overnight, and I can't expect myself to do all these things I said I would within a short window of time, so I will focus my attention to the situation at hand and allocate my efforts efficiently so that things can be broken down and simple. And lastly, I feel ready to handle my unfinished business in LA...I'm determined.

"Life is only as simple as you make it!"


2 weeks and I get to see my baby :]
