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 just a refresher heres the URL (note: this link is no longer active, so dont be a dumbass and try it)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!

No matter what I do . . .

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.

its just about done. one more day, one more test. tomorrow i will finally finish all this stupid STAR testing!! no more for the rest of my life! thank you jebus!! so what is there to report? i guess thats the biggest thing i have to say. i have to finish my 3/4 view front and back of my cars. then i got to submit my application for the art contest. ive decided to include a progress picture of it so that people can see how its coming along. im gonna try to draw at least three different models. im gonna need all the luck i can get so that i get some recgonition in this competition. All i really want to hear is someone say that my drawing looks good. that would really make me happy. anyways thats it for today. o and the final south coast league dual meet is tomorrow. its against San Clemente at their course, and ive basically given up on track this year. this is by far the biggest disapppointment in track i have ever had. the worst season ever. i never broke my 2 mile time, and beat my 800 and mile PR's by only a mere two seconds. ya you know that this really pisses me off, and im going to training all summer for a sub 16:00 XC time and all winter really hardcore for a sub 4:40 1600, 10:20 3200, and 2:08 800! o well i hope i dont fuck up in XC this year like i have for the past two years in track! SHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i really didnt like this season.

for those of you who desperatly want to see my art, here are two of my designs. now theyre not all that original, cuz they are based off production cars. but that doesnt hurt. these arent the ones i will be entering into the competition, and these are works in progress.


This is my Lexus IS 300. its modified into a slightly more performance oriented sedan, and the hood has been lifted to accomodate a V8 Engine. the back end had been completely redesigned to add more aerodynamics and high speed stability. the front bumper and splitter cut through the wind and the big front inlet allows the air to get into the engine bay and cool it down. thats about it. the rest is more stock.



This is my interpretation of the Legendary McLaren F1. This car is a second generation concept car. other than adding a front bumper wing and a completetly revised side and back end, this car is still basically the McLaren F1.

This basically sums up how im feeling . . .

"World So Cold"

When passion's lost and all the trust is gone,
Way too far, for way too long
Children crying, cast out and neglected,
Only in a world so cold, only in a world
This cold
Hold the hand of your best friend, look into their eyes
Then watch them drift away
Some might say, we've done the wrong things,
For way too long, for way too long

Fever inside the storm,
So I'm turning away.
Away from the name
(Calling your names)
Away from the stones
(Throw sticks and stones)
'Cause I'm through mending the wounds of us

Keep your thorns
'Cause I'm running away,
Away from the games
(F**king head games)
Away from the space
(Hate this head space)
The circumstances of a world so cold

burning whispers, Remind me of the days,
I was left alone, in a world this cold
Guilty of the same things, provoked by
The cause,
I've left alone, in a world so cold
Fever inside the storm,
So I'm turning away.
Away from the name
(Calling your names)
Away from the stones
(Throw sticks and stones)
'Cause I'm through mending the wounds of us

Keep your thorns
'Cause I'm running away,
Away from the games
(F**king head games)
Away from the space
(Hate this head space)
The circumstances of a world so cold

I'm flying, I'm flying away,
Away from the names
(Calling your names)
Away from the games
(F**king head games)
The circumstances of a world so cold

Why does everyone feel like my enemy,
Don't want any part of depression or
Darkness, I've had enough
sick and tired, bring the sun, or I'm gone,
Or I'm gone

I'm backing out, I'm no pawn,
No mother-f**king slave to this,
Never lied
Never left
Never lived
Never loved
Never lost
Never hurt
Never worry about being me, or anyone else
Not a care, no concern, don't give a shit about
Anything

Backing out, giving up, no mother-f**king
Slave to this,
Never lied
Never left
Never lived
Never loved
Never lost
Never hurt
Never worry about being me, or anyone else
Not a care, no concern, don't give a shit about
Anything,

I need to find a darkened corner,
A lightless corner,
Where it's safer and calmer,

I'm turning away.
Away from the name
(Calling your names)
Away from the stones
(Throw sticks and stones)
'Cause I'm through mending the wounds of us

I'm running away,
Away from the games
(F**king head games)
Away from the space
(Hate this head space)
The circumstances of a world so cold

I'm flying, I'm flying away,
Away from the names
(Calling your names)
Away from the games
(F**king head games)
The circumstances of a world so cold


anyways today turned out to be a crappy day, and towards the end it didnt get any better. only until and old friend helped me, and cheered me up. my intentions are never to hurt anyones feelings, but sometimes things dont come out the way i want them to, and its not fair that i then get ignored without giving an explanation. so just for future refrence, anything i ever say, is never meant seriously. and trust me, when i am mad, you'll know.

SCL #4 Tomorrow

Topic: Track Meet
woo tomorrow is the third to last race im gonna be running this year. and im not ready for it. but i have a good plan that will hopefull let me get a good time. im going back to running all three events: 800M, 1600M, 3200M. im not setting any high goals, but i am setting some difficult ones. for the 800 im aiming for a 2:17 or under. 1600 im going for anything under 5:00. the two mile, im not holding anything back. im aiming for a sub 11:10. well, im also entering an Auto Design Contest thats gonna be held in Huntington Beach on June 5, 2005. first place gets $500, with other prizes for 2nd and 3rd places as well. im gonna do a roadster concept car. for those of you who dont know what that is, look up the Chevrolet SSR, Chrysler Prowler, and Lamborghini Concept S. im gonna do something similiar to the Prowler, but im adding my own personal touches to incorporate the Lamborghini in it, with open roof wheel wells. ill post up a pic right before i send it into the competition. im not really aiming for a first place, but im hoping that i get good recognition, and some comments on my drawing. this is the first time im letting the public see any of my designs so im hoping it gets accepted. afterall, if my designs dont get accepted by the public, what are the chances of me getting accepted by a Car Manufacturer? well i havent showered, and i need to go to sleep so, thats all im gonna write. hasta luego. by the way, im aslo working to try to design my own graphics for future reference. here is my first attempt:

so i have finally watched both of the Prefontaine movies that were made. The first being a gift for Xmas in 2003, "Prefontaine" is the more inspiring movie, where as "Without Limits" is the more hollywood style one. overall i really did enjoy both of the movies, but if i was to pick a favorite id have to say i prefer "Without Limits". so if you're in the mood to watch a good movie, and run, id say "Without Limits" is a great movie to watch. but enough about movie reviews, on with today. well nothing really. the only thing i guess i have to say is about track. well im sorta getting back into running, but i dont think im gonna be at all ready for the meet thursday against Trabuco. i doubt im even gonna touch a sub 5:05 mile, sub 11:20 two mile, and a sub 2:20 800. its gonna be quite possibly the most disappointing meet ive had so far. but then again this year i havent done that good. ive done no better than last year. ive beaten my mile by two seconds, 800 time by two seconds, and i havent officially beaten my two mile time (i've actually gotten two seconds slower). that means that ive got a lot that i havent used so far. my downfall might have been that i overworked my body during the winter break, that i peaked too soon.im not going out this season without breaking 4:54, and that is what i plan on doing this thursday.if it means only running the mile, then so be it. ive got to do what i did against el toro during the two mile against trabuco for the mile. i managed to maintain a pace and i was able to get a kick out of it. i need to feel like i did at Katella, and actualy finish in a really good time. ill be focusing on the mile extensively for the next week. there's only three weeks left till the end of track, and that means that ive got to run harder and faster than ever before. i do not wanna get disappointed this year like i did last year. if i fail again this year. im gonna do XC, but ill be working mainly on speed. and during the winter break at the end of this year, im gonna be doing all forms of cross training and running. next year im going for a 4:35 and under mile regardless of what i get this year. ive got a whole year to train to drop 20 seconds. i can do. just like the greeks say: "Citius . . . Altius . . . Fortius . . ."

weeeeeeee . . . spring break is officially over as of this morning. and i can confidently say i did absoultely NOTHING! sunday night i went to the gym with my mommy, and i ran on the treadmill for 60 mins and completed 8 miles at a negative split pace. it started out at a 7:34 pace for the first twenty minutes, then sped up to 7:00 for the next twenty minutes and managed to hold out a 6:40 pace for the last twenty minutes. it was fun, but probably a bad idea, cuz i could not run the rest of the week. monday morning i did go to practice. i woke up twenty minutes late, but living so close i ran there. so that was my warm up. the actual workout was 8 400's but i did six then an 800 to finish with the team. that was the last time i ran, so im not gonna enjoy running tomorrow. tuesday i got a haircut so that was good for me. then i can sumarize the rest of the week. Sleep, TV, playing with Mikey, eating. thats all i did this spring break. i did manage to draw up one version a car that i gotta do for zero period. thats about the higlight of my spring break. tomorrow is gym in the morning hopefully. so come monday im gonna have lots of fun stories to tell everyone. haha right . . .
