For anyone who was at teh CSz match last night, it was pretty good. I had never been to a CSz, so it was a fun thing to do on a Friday night.afterwards was the best part tho. the people who stayed and cleaned up got together and decided to play capture the flag with two giant inflatable monkies. that had to have been the most intense game of capture the flag, cuz we started it around 10:00PM. you could not see anything in certain areas, and at points you got scared away by your own teamates. it was stealth games at a premium. sadly my team lost, but it was good times. afterwards we all went to In-N-Out, and kicked there for about 45 mins. thanks to Dane for buying fries for everyone. overall it was a pretty good night. and i slept for a good 12 hours, so that was an even better night. well thats aboutit, adios.

For some reason, ive been entranced by the band Fuel, and more specifically their Album "Natural Selection". I dunno why, but they shot all the way up to my number one spot lately, with Thrice taking a back seat, and trapt falling into Third. hopefully the new Trapt CD thats supposed to come out soon, will raise them back up into the top spot. but "Natural Selection" is a really good CD especially if you're into Emo/Rock. its slightly different from conventional Emp/Rock but the CD overall just kicks ass, so out of a Scale from 0-7 (higher meaning more flaws) id give it a solid 2. Its not neceserraily a perfect CD, but its pretty damn close. the highest ive given out is Thrice "Artist in the Ambulence" which got a 1.

ANYWAYS . . . onto the topic. Yea my research paper is due on June 2, so ive got some work to do. i had to turn in Dialectical Journals last Thursday, along with an Author Summary. then i wrote a book report inclass that same day. i had to finish some source cards (10) by tomorrow, so thats done.the next thing due is the Note Cards, which will be due next week on my Birthday. joy. ive got to finish the actual report two weeks after that. my topic is Air Force Ranking. Seven Pages of pure Military Rankings. thats gonna be a bitch to bullshit. well ive nearly accomplished everything that is needed till i can finalize my Senior Year, and well hopefully next week is back to normal. Ive also started to train for XC. i wont be on the team, but ill be doing the workouts. we'll see how things go from there. well thats about it, i guess. good bye.

so i guess im no longer in track. yay, i finally dropped it, and now i only have to go to skool until Lunch! yes! so here is my plan for next year. im thikning of changing my schedule drastically. im hoping now that it looks something like this:


AP Stats
AP Physics
English Lit
American Gov
FilmED


I know there is no XC in there, but hold on. im thinking of doing XC, but not be in the class. im going to practice and what not, but just not be in the class. and the same with Track second semester. so thats basically what im hoping it looks like. and i hope it can be 0-4 and not have a sixth and fifth. if things arent like that, then ill make things like that when i go to registration. Senior year should be lots of fun. i have also have to finish this little video project for FilmED which has to be turned in next tuesday. doug and i are going to film it this weekend, so im hoping it looks good. and i think brandon has a video editing software so maybe we can get his help to edit it, and make it look good. whatever, ive already got the basis for my storyline. well thats about it. till then laters.

37 days left till the first day of summer!!

well i've dropped track. that means ill only be at skool now until lunch, then i leave. i wont have to stay till the end of sixth. YES! well thats good. ive got nothing important really. Might end up going to Six Flags the weekend following my birthday. so that will be lots of fun. ive really gotten into a state of depression lately. i havent done much, lately either. but ive been having somewhat of a good time. this weekend was actually ok. i went to a family get together, and towards the end of it was when everything started to get really fun. I also managed to watch the Formula 1 GP in Spain. Raikkonen won, with Trulli and R.Schumacher in Third and Fourth, so i was happy about that. McLaren and Toyota both managed to do really great. Mclaren caught up to toyota a bit, and Raikkonen moved all the way up to 3rd in the drivers championship while Trulli stayed in 2nd. Toyota is in Second for the Constructors championship with 40 points, and McLaren is in third with 37. well thats about it for me at the moment. Im gonna be running on my own instead of with the team for the rest of the skool year, and i doubt it that im going to many summer workouts. im basically gonna be gone all the month of August cuz my family wants to go on vacation, so i probably wont be going to Mammoth, and im gonna be (hopefully) working to get some money, only ill definetaly stay with this job. so i guess thats about it. no more XC. hasta luego.

Well thats the end . . . Track 2005 has ended, and well ive got nothing to say about it. Whatelse is there to say? i sucked, and i had a very crappy season? two in a row, and that doesnt make me happy whatsoever. i ended the season with never getting an official 10 min 2 mile. SHIT! that really pisses me off. i was able to get a 10:48 2 mile, but that wasnt in an official race. well now it looks that im going into my final senior year with the following times:
400: 57.0 (Irvine Invitational 2005)
800: 2:14 (SCL #5 @ SC 2005)
1600: 4:57 (Katella Invitational 2005)
3200: 11:04 (Irvine Invitational 2004)
3-mile: 16:49 (SCL #4/5 @ Park 2004)
this summer and all during XC season im training extensively. im not slacking off one bit. starting at the very end of May im going to being training for XC. im not going too indepth into what ill be doing but for a base training, i wont be running with the team. I'll be going to a few select athlete led practices, and morning practices with the coaches alternating with the afternoon for when there is no Morning. ill be doing more weight training this time around, and lots more distance, with some strength/endurance. starting in June 2005, im training for Track 2006. I WILL ACCOMPLISH THE FOLLOWING!!:
800M: sub-2:08
1600M: sub-4:40
3200M: sub-10:25
3-MILE: sub-16:00
This time around, im fully researching everything, so that i can accomplish these goals. im hoping that training a little differently, and not as hard during the preseason, will benefit me.

Well the 2005 Capo Valley Track and Field Season is now officially over. and i must say im deeply disappointed. My times are as follows going into the 2006 Season:
400M: 57.0 -2.2s from 2004
800M: 2:14 -3s from 2004
1600: 4:57 -2s from 2004
3200M: Still have one shot at beating my PR, tomorrow
im not too happy, i should have been into the 4:40's and high 4:30's. now that means that next year i have to work even harder. biggest disappointment in track thus far. well my final XC season is about to begin, so im not really gonna care for that. thats about it. i just have to run the 3200M final tomrrow. well i hope i can get a good time.

Well, thats it . . .

well whats done is done . . . and it looks like im ending the 2005 track season with a 4:57 mile, 2:14 800, and 11:06(officially) 2 mile. not what i was expecting out of myself. i know i could have gotten into the 4:40's in the mile the sub 2:10's half-mile and at least a 10:48 two mile. well this summer im training slightly different. im doing more distance, and more controlled speed, with more strength training. im hoping that i can finish my Final XC season with a time in the 15's. but it doesnt seem possible if i cant even break 11 mins in the two mile. League Prelims are tomorrow, with the 3200 Final on Friday. ive got one moer chance at breaking all of my PR's but i couldnt even hold a 5:00 flat on a treadmill. i only went 3/4 of a mile before succumbing to the imense pain that i experince from running. and sometimes i think that maybe im not meant to be a runner. todays workout has me thinking that way. it was a set of 12 striders, but when i was supposed to be at around 170HR i was at 200! and i know it wasnt cuz i was tired exhausted or anything. i can complete the workout, and it seems that i get really tired afterwards. at the final HeartRate check i was in at 220!! i know that is probably a little off, but thats what i clocked myself at. everyone else was barely at 180-190. few were into the 200's, but mostly everyone was at 190. it makes me think that maybe im not meant to be running at the pace that i do. if im obviously 20-30 beats per minute higher than everyone else, i should slow things down. but thats how i have been running. could it be that im not supposed be a runner? maybe im not supposed to be fast? but yet here i am, 3rd Fastest Runner for Capo. and ive always been a better runner than some of my peers ever since i started back in 7th grade. at first, i couldnt hold it. it would just exert too much pain. but i built up a tolerance, and well ive grown accustomed to it. but i dont think its a good idea to be running with a HR of 200 everytime. and mind you this was only striders! i cant even imagine what a real workout would be like. or even a race! i think i just might rethink what sport ill be participating in. I guess running just isnt my thing.

nothing better than kicking it with a friend who you havent spent time with. its been two months since i had seen this friend, and it had been a good two years since we had done anything before then. and everytime we hang out time just seems to fly by. that was kool, cuz all we did was hang out at the mall, and fool around. there were a few good stories believe it or not that came out of that. well on friday night i managed to finish updating the Capo Valley Cross Country Website. Chances are if you got here, then you already saw the XC website. but if by some miracle you happened to miss the link, its Http://CapoValleyXC.50webs.com
heres the thing, you cant put www. right in front of the CapoValleyXC thing. otherwise you wont get sent to the website. its a little weird i know, but youll get used to it. at least its better than the incredibly long ass one from last year. just a refresher heres the URL (note: this link is no longer active, so dont be a dumbass and try it)
Http://www.geocities.com/ScionRacer2000/XC.html
now which do you prefer? ya thats what i though. anyways check out the XC website it has some important dates on there. well ive dont nothing else of importance today. so i guess ill leave it at that.

Monday Morning!

I hate Alg. 2/Trig. its retarded and i dont see the purpose of learning half the crap on there. like the stuff that was on the test we just took. that i dont see being applied to real life situations. and i really dont see how that crap is gonna do me good when my career involves mechanics and cars. i see some of the other stuff, like the Trig and geometry, being applied into the everyday mechanics of my career, but not when you have to use pointless formulas to solve for some series of numbers, and you have to fidn the Xth number in the series!! when am i gonna need to find the Xth number in a series?! ya its really stupid. but its just anger that im venting for me not passing the class so far. everything is oky dory. Physics is good, US History is good, English im not sure, and Autodesign is ok. track meet on wednesday was actually a littler better than what i was expecting. its still nowhere near what i should have been running this season, but i cant be mad with my performance from the last meet. of course i dont know why on earth im running so slow, when i really should have been into a 4:40's for the mile, 10:30's for the 2 mile, and 2:10's for the 800. i got 2:14(New PR!) in the 800, 5:04 Mile, and 11:31 2 mile. jeez something went incredibly wrong with my training during the winter. i was supposed to be really good this season. but i guess i should be focusing on how i can improve for next season. two seasons that i completely tanked in track now . . . my senior better not suck.
