My Work, Ankle Etc.

Just got ready for my first day of work...haha first time I have ever worn a vest other than prom. I like it though. I look good...black pants, black docs, black belt, white button up shirt with the sleeves rolled, gray 5 button vest, black tie.....work casual haha that's what they said this is what i thought...

My senior pictures came in yesterday. I think I'm going to go pick them up tonight. This way when I go eat with my sister she can see them and then my mom later tonight. I'm kind of excited for them.

My ankle was still pretty swollen today. At least I could walk on it though.
Oh wait, I haven't told you. Yeah I REINJURED my ankle. This time worse. I overstretched the three tendons below the outside bone on my ankle and tore the sac surrounding my ankle TWICE!
Doc said I'm out of soccer 6-8 weeks with a possible parole at 4 or 5 weeks if I have good behavior(healing). We'll see how it all turns out.

No more time though I'm heading out.
I'm starting to get more regular at this aren't it?

No Soccer?

How am I going to put up with not playing soccer for six through eight weeks?
Damn tendons and sack around my ankle....
I stretched the tendons and tore the sack TWICE and now I have to sit out 6-8 weeks....

what am i going to do with myself?? that's what I want to know...i mean seriously.....

soccer is all I know...all I'm good at...all I do...

gah...we'll see where it goes from here...

damn ankle..

Curiosity

I lost my cell phone today. Curiously enough, I wasn't really worried about it once I sat down and thought about it. I lost it in one of three places: school, car, rec center. In which case I will be able to find it regardless. Also, my cell phone isn't all important. Sure it provides me with an easy, convenient way to communicate with people, but if I really need to talk to someone I can drive over and see them. So, I guess it's just sort of curious how I have no qualms about losing my cell phone. Where as most people are ready to die.

Maybe I should change the name of my Blog?

What do you think?

This surely isn't an almost daily reminder of my life? Far from it in fact. More like Almost Monthly Life by Jared Krauss. Who's paying attention anyways though. Not as though it really matters. This is for me and no one else.

So, if anyone gets mad about it. Not my problem; I'm not writing for you. I'm writing for me and you. I haven't decided to who "you" are yet. When I do, you will be the first one to know though.

Oh, new book read you all should read. Well, actually, only if you love soccer; it's called "How Soccer Explains the World: An Un-Likely Theory on Globalization" by Franklin Foer. Quite a good book. You all should read it and enjoy it.

tsk tsk

Security is the feeling we feel when we believe we're impenetrable.
A tightness in our grip, the extra push in our step, knowing were invincible.
Knowing were able to do more than before.
Thinking is different than knowing, and thinking only leads the poor.
Knowing something to be truth.
Knowing something to be truth.
How can you ever believe something?
How can you ever believe something is truth?
Truth is like a long rug on a shiny wooden floor.
All somebody has to do is grab one end and run out the door.
Your feet, on top of the rug, go with it. You go into the air.
You don't even know what's happened, and you don't even care.
All you know is that your back really hurts and life isn't fair.
So, security is simply a truth standing on a rug of falsehood.
As soon as someone grabs a single thread of it they just have to take it and run and they can tear the truth right out from underneath you.

Life's busy.

Life has been kind of hectic right now.

Between being on student senate and getting that organized. Working out every day. Volleyball on the days I don't have other things. I know I said volleyball right...well first I was asked to be stat taker then I sort of willingly/unwillingly got sucked into manager by the coach. Which I can't really complain...I mean let's be honest ;).

Then I have soccer on wednesdays from 4-7 Rec team 4-5 Club team 5-6 then my practice 6-7...
So Coach Coach Play Then I coach and referee on saturdays and play on sundays and have a childs father coach the club games i can't attend on sundays as well...

Also, I'm working on my college applications right now....
They are driving me up the wall...I want to work on them but...yeah it's just a slow process...
U of Texas
U of Oregon
U of Washington

Right now my order of wanting to go is

U of Washington
U of Texas
U of Oregon

UW is my goal...if I get accepted there with some good scholarships I'll most definitely go...
UT is sort of a backup but growing on me...I have other interests there that might persuade me to go there depending on the out come of some other situations...namely a girl :D haha she's...well she's exactly what I have been looking for...but shhh don't tell her that haha it ruins everything ;)...
UO is mostly just a backup plan that is there. It's a good school but easier to get into then the other two...

If I get a full ride or close to in scholarships to any of them I would almost HAVE to go there...I couldn't pass that up...hopefully once I get all my work in and FAFSA and scholarships and what not my decision will be easier...

I guess it's safe to say
I'm mostly tied on UW and UT but UW has a slight edge right now...

Like I said. My life is busy.

Senior Year - A look Back on the Summer

Senior Year started last week for me. I'll come back to this later though. Maybe in another post.

Right now I want to take a look back at my Summer.


As you could see by previous posts I started working out with Atila and Nolan in July. Well, now I workout either with them or on my own every day of the week except Saturday and Sunday.

It has really paid dividends. Not only that though. Eating right. Not even being on a diet. I just don't eat junk food anymore. I have really cut back on everything that's not natural. I mean obviously everyonce in a while I have a cheeseburger from hardee's or something. However, that doesn't mean I eat there everyday. Really though. When it came to eating. I just needed to start eating more natural food. Rather then all this fabricated junk.

I guess other people than just me have noticed as well. I have gotten alot of compliments on how I look now from a wide range of people. You know that are just little boosters. Me trying to be slightly modest just respond with the simple, "I try. Thanks."

It's nice though. To see the results of hard work. Now, my goal is to get cut. I'm getting stronger and losing the fat. Now I just need to take it to the next level.
I'll get there. Just a matter of time.

Also, I have grown up alot in just the last few months. I'm not sure exactly where, how, or why. I just know I have. My life is alot more ordered now. Also, a lot more free. I have come to accept a lot of things in life as results of everyone else and I just need to do my part in it. Right now my life motto is: C'est La Vie. It's French meaning "Such is Life" I take it as meaning there are somethings you can't do anything about but complain and worry. Since I'm a logical person I see no benefit from doing either of those. So, I accept my situation and work on, through, or around it.

I'm starting to see my life really take shape and have potential.
Everyone keeps telling me how I'm doing to do this and accomplish that. How I'm going to be a millionaire without even trying or change the world. Those would be all well and good. However, that's not what I want to just jump to. I want to take the journey to get there. I want the experiences that make the result worth while. I know it's really cliche but it's the Journey that makes life worth while not the million dollars at the end.

Oh. P.S. You should check out the band "The Kooks" they are from England and extremely good. At least I enjoy them.
