Ciao i miei amici!

Its about time for a damn update...whaddya think?

Life has been...well...what else is there to say...BUSY. I am officially occupied past all imagineable capacity. I reckon ill be doing some thinning of my schedule next semester.
Training has been good...my discus form is starting to come around but my shot-put is lagging...mayeb its because I honestly feel that shot-put is a far inferior event thus causing me to have NO enthusiasm when i practice it...i just think discus is more beautiful...
My body is shaping up decent...ive lost about 4% to my body fat and have lost about 5 legit pounds. I need to lose about 5% more in body fat and maintain my weight...thus meaning i need to put on more muscle.
Trombone has been absolutely SUCKING....absolutely...SUCKING. What the hell. Yeah, doing athletics, trombone, school, and work is hard as hell and trombone has been suffering...but yo, im 22, healthy, and i love to throw and bone...so both shall it be. Ill worry about doing one thing when Im not able to do more than one thing...one life to live my friends...one life.
I have been extremely strung out lately but I got to catch opera with a good friend of mine the other night. We saw an early mozart opera and the performance was great. Im glad I got to go as i was brought back to a state of true love within music!!! I have seriously lacked concert-going experience lately...i blame academia. Anyways, looks like I have a new concert buddy!

Im currently in the sketches of three new writings...they have been mntioned before. THree writings on politics, christianity, and The Branch ( spring branch). I wil not be able to write these until my life lets up on me but I will get them done. I have begun wirting one of them but the attention to structure has absolutely demolished my writing style...so ill plan on jsut ripping it out on one sitting when school is not in session...i jsut write best that way...honestly.



I guess I have enough energy for a small rant...shall we?

Since when should we EVER seek recognition...for ANYTHING? Honestly. Does someone's approval altar what we have done...do the opinions of anyone mean anything in terms of what has been achieved? If I save Ethiopia from an economic hell, would a nice plaque from the president justify my work?
I was sitting in the locker room other day and one of my talented team mates was complaing about how they didnt mention all of his accolades on our team's media guide. And I told this fool..."why does any of that matter? do you like to high jump or do you like to high jump?"
But honestly, what has made us so needing of recognition? When we puruse things, it should be genuine...once we look up, the love is lost...honestly. enuffadat'
