License

I get my drivers license next week, and I'm pretty excited about it. No more having to ask my parnets to give a ride to the places I need to get to. I wont have to wait around untilll it is convenient for someone to drop me off on the way to some place. I can finally drive my self home instead of asking some kid to give a ride home. No more riding with crazy kids, I can feel safe driving myself. But there is a down side to this all. Now i will have to start paying for my own gas, which isn't cheap. But I think ill be more excited about getting my license.

Share the Fun

Spreading the fun around to all the 4-hers in the community, is what I took part in today. Yeah thats right, 4 hours of non-stop fun! Ha well it was okay. It was held at the southwest auditorium, yeah, lots of people went, there was no sitting room left. Ha kidding there was lots of free space. Well what I didn't like, was that I was the first act. I played Rachmaninhoff's prelude in c sharp major. I played it pretty well, with only a few mistakes. The second act I was in was some stupid CSI skit, that was totally butchered. Kids forgot lines and entering times, so it was a mess. I ended up getting runner up for the state fair (second place) with my rachmaninhoff piece. There were about 40 acts so I did pretty well. And I guess I had a little fun, even though i was so nervous, that my foot kept shaking off the damper pedal on the piano.

Slackers

Pick up the slack please.... Somebody in one of my classes is a really big slacker, and when they read this blog they will know who they are. They gave me the idea for this blog after I observed their homework habits. Or wait a second.. Yeah thats right, they never do their homework. By this time your probably thinking that I'm a pretty mean guy, and somewhat of a hypocrite. Let me clear some things up for you. First of all, this person wanted me to write about their slacking off. Second of all, I admit, I'm not always on top of things either, I frequently finding myself in a menagerie of different homework assignments. Sometimes, yes I don't get everything done, I admit it, but I am willing to admit things unlike this person. I wouldn't call my self a slacker anyway, just a little pressed for time, but ill get tons of time once wrestling gets over. So there will be no more procrastination when I am freed from the baondage of a winter activity.

Rockband

It's a pretty fun game if you ask me. Yesterday, was the second time Iv'e ever played rockband, and it was pretty fun. I was pretty bad at guitar hero,and the guitar on rockband I shared the same skill at. I'm not too bad at the drums though, then again I was playing on easy. And the singing, doesn't make sense to me. You don't even have to sing, all you have to do is whistle or make a sound. Well that's my rockband story.

Statebound

Yesterday, our Albert Lea tigers sealed the deal, by defeating the huskies for a second time. This time, we were competing for the chance to go to state. And we came through. Everybody wrestled tough, and no-one gave up, and thats what it took to send our team to state for the fourth year in a row. We need to keep the intesity up, right down to the end of the season, and see if we can place as a team in the state. We took second last year, let's see if we can make it there again.

Owatana vs. Albert Lea

The biggest match of the year for Albert Lea took place this Saturday. We were expecting a large crowd, and that's exactly what we got. The gym was jam packed full of screaming fans waiting to see a great match. It started off with the junior high, progressed to the jv and finished with the varsity. Each team (jh, jv and varsity) wrestled well. Now to be able to be called Big nine champs for another consecutive year, we needed to knock off the no. 4 rated huskies. Every Albert wrestler, wrestled with intesity, and with an Albert Lea wrestling attitude. We won 4 out of 5 key matches that could have gone either way in the last seconds. No one gave up, they wrestled hard, and it payed off. It finished with an Albert Lea victory, and a big nine championship.

Weekend

This weekend I helped my brother entertain his friend who was here from Virginia. We spent lots of time shooting squirrels from our window in the hallway, and tracking them down when he missed, making sure we put them out of their misery. We also went to my grandparents and played cards and ate my grandmas cookies. They are the best ever. He left today to go to college with my brother, but he may be back to visit again soon.
