Relief!!

For 3 things -

MAINLY - Eagle Scout... I am official!!!
Secondly - My preseason football is taken care of.... concerning equipment and workouts.
Lastly - I have read the final Harry Potter book, and I must admit, I don't plan on reading it again. Although wonderfully, artistically, consistent put together tome, I don't like the general story. Yes, it fits, it sums it up, it leaves us happy, but there are things I think that should have been different, but that is my opinion and mine alone. Dispute not - just ignore if you have a problem.

Plans? Final trip to Utah for the summer. Blind Date for Saturday (FUN!) to go see Harry Potter the 5th. My brother knows the girl he is going with, but I don't. *sigh* At least I have a cell phone and full driving capabilities. Baseball camp at BYU. Come home, do homework, and get ready for school. Unfortunately, school starts in less than 3 weeks. *sigh*

So, things are looking up. For 'Arry Potter, not so much. Although, you might like it a lot more than I do. What can I say, fiction ain't my thing. Give me a Star Wars novel, and I'll be happy. And that's called Sci-Fi.

What can I say? Official Eagle Scout, Football is starting, Harry potter's doneskies, and I've got a date. Equals? Happy Teenager.

FRUSTRATION!!

Well, I can pretty much just kiss my board of review on saturday goodbye, seeing as my scoutmaster didn't call anybody to set it up. Thanks! not... plus no youth conference, cause a teacher in my ward wanted to go, but they didn't have room, so I let him go since I'd only be there part of the time. I guess it was a nice thing to do, but I'm still disappointed and frustrated. My sm knew about the bor since last sunday, but he still hasn't done anything. I know he has a new infant, but still, as you are called to be sm, you should do your duty. enough of my raving. here's some quotes.

Only the wise know how ignorant they really are!

No matter the performance, only effort counts as long as it is being given in order to get better.

Perfect practice makes perfect; practice makes permanent.

Aggresive mistakes on the field don't kill us, it's the passive ones.

When you realize you can spend a whole life of learning, you better start.

I'm just kidding still means the statements's half true. That's why it was said.

Sometimes mistakes can't be reversed, but you can still many things to make up for it.

Live and learn, then forsake the mistakes and work on perfection.

I know some of em aren't great, I made up most of them. so enjoy, for i'm outta here.

busy week

the beginning of a busy week, don't you just look forward to it? :D The first day wasn't as bad as I thought it be, but now I really do look forward to 3 games and 1 practice, and youth conference, my eagle board of review, and a dance. Sounds busy, but it's all fun. here are some quotes that are not from my packet. They are from Louis L'Amour's characters. You can find these and a whole lot more in his book "A Trail of Memories" sub title "The Quotations of Louis L'Amour". They are compiled by his daughter Angelique.

-To challenge the fates, that is living! To ride the storm, to live daringly, to live nobly, not wasting one's life in foolish, silly risks, or ruining the brain with too much wine, or with too much hashish [for me, no drugs or wine period! :)]!

-Living a life is much like climbing mountains - the summits are always further off than what you think, but when a man has a goal, he always feels he's working towards something.

-He put his hand upon my shoulder and told me that in the world there were two kinds of people, those who wish and those who will, and the world and its good will always belong to those who will.

-I found no luck and no opportunity except that I made [it].

-What a man wants to do he generally can do, if he wants to badly enough.

-Our struggle was for time. Our leisure was brought from hardship, and we needed leisure to think, to dream, to create.

-One chooses a name if one wills, perhaps one more suited to the personality. After all, only a few inherit great names. The rest must make them for ourselves....

-But I am somebody ... I am me.I like being me, and I need nobody to make me somebody. I need no setting. As for a home, I can build my own. As for position, each of us finds his own.

These are all from books he's written. There are a ton more, so I'll post them next time. As for Chico de Cali, punch out time is here!

Minor Update

wait, when is anything minor, well except for minor league and minor ursa... etc. etc. Last 3 baseball games we won, some by barely, others by a safe margin. We tied our passing league game for football with villanova. I met with my freshman english teacher to obtain my 4TH recommendation letter. All I need now is one from mi madre and another one from mi padre. Then on the 14th I can get my board of review and finally get my elusive Eagle Scout. FINALLY!!!!! True freedom. lol. so here's some more quotes

11. Everyone needs long range goals if for no other reason than to keep from being frustrated by short range failures.
12. You see things and ask why? But I dream things that never were and ask 'why not'?
13. One of the best ways to persuade others is with your ears - by listening to them.
14. Acceptance and forgiveness build relationships because they focus on the other person.
15. If you are patient with another in moment of anger, you will escape a hundred years of sorrow.
16. It is easier to fight for one's principles than to live up to them.
17. It is useless to travel the world looking for beauty. Unless you possess it, you will never find it.
18. Acquire peace of mind by becoming the best that you are capable of becoming.
19. The athlete who usually tells you what kind of person he is, usually isn't.
20. To make a dream come true, the first requirement is a great capacity to dream. The second is persistence - a faith in a dream.

there ya go. and fyi, my iming is better than my blogging. lol.
