Final School Post (But I will keep on posting)!

June 5th, 2008 by hammond

I can’t bear waiting any more school ours. My hands are as heavy as weights and I am sweating like a pig waiting for the last hours of school to go by. These hours go by like days and the seconds go by just like hours. There was only one thing that was making my mind go crazy. How insane was I going to go after the last second of school was over and I could hear the loud bell ringing like a flies wings and the sound they make meanwhile they beat rapidly up and down in split-seconds, faster and faster each time. This was eating my mind off like an infection. If you were a student, how insane would you go! I’m going to go crazy and am going to live life the fullest as much as possible! Taking breaks off of homework and being able to do basically anything I want and could enjoy life, chilling, or playing sports. Also, I might have an awesome time visiting my friends in Potomac Maryland, my favorite place on earth. I have been so anxious to do this, I am more anxious to do this than to graduate to college. This has been killing me for too long and is my one and only desire! I would want this more than a present for my birthday or anything else right now. Basically, it would be a dream come true which has been waiting a long time.

After that, I will be remembering the touching memories. After I looked back on them and realize it’s a pretty touching life story and I have had so much fun and touching moments this ear. I just don’t know what to say anymore after all the support from my friends and family. They have been there almost every time for me and have helped me like if they were my parents guiding me through life. I just don’t know what to say and how to thank them. I think that if could write a story and sell for millions if I could just teach the world what I have been taught by friends and family this year. All I can say is that this year has been one of my favorite memories and years that I have had and nothing else.

I have also loved my teachers this year which have guided me in many ways and have showed me the best time I have ever had! Chilling at math, writing in literature, filming movies at U.S. History. There is now way I can repay what I have gotten this year and I think that this is the only way that I can say thanks to all of that. How has this been so much fun, I don’t know but if you were me, you would not know how much of a time of your life you would have.

I just hope that all of you guys could know this and how it could eat you up. I hope you guys have the time of your life this summer and have never had so much fun like I did this year!

HAPPY SUMMER VACATIONS!!!!

Basketball Nightmare

May 29th, 2008 by hammond

On this past Wednesday, we had our finals in basketball. We were the only team who was undefeated in the league and were going to play the second best team (which we had beaten already and have been our rivalry for a couple of years). I can still remember that day at school. I was so nervous that I couldn’t ready in class and didn’t know what was going to happened next. When the bell rang, my feet started trembling like if there were an earthquake that was about to destroy us. Finally, we got dressed up for the game, and I could see the big crowd waiting for us at the stands. Usually, we run some lay-up drills which I could barely make because of how nervous I was. When the game began, I could feel the drops of sweat blobbing down my chin and drooping on the floor. The roar of the crowd was so loud I thought that I was at an amusement park next to a rollercoaster. I wasn’t on the starting line, but I got put in a couple of minutes after the game started. I was trying my hardest: setting screens, playing defense, and giving it my best running up and down the court. After I was in for a while, I sweating like if I had just gotten out of a pool and my nervousness began to go away. But, the only problem was that we were down by more than 12 points! We ran a full court press with all we could and had a huge come-back which caused us to lead by about 7 points! The team was really excited so we started doing dumb mistakes just like the other team, but we lost the ball way to many times leaving the other team very easy points. We were down by one and I was on the bench with a lot of other friends. All I could do was scream like a little boy who just fell off of a swing. The mighty roar of the crowd was getting louder every second. There was 4 seconds left and the ball went out and we only had 1 second let on the clock (but the other team was throwing the ball in). Our teammate DJ intercepted the ball and shot from almost half-court a split-second before we could hear the buzzer. Everyone looked at the ball in amusement. The ball hit the backboard, then hit the rim, but then fell out. We lost by one point and this was a major defeat. But, we still had a better season than them. We had 9 wins and 1 loss, they had 8 wins and 2 losses.

School Trip to Manuel Antonio

May 11th, 2008 by hammond

During my school curriculum, we all have a fun trip that lasts a couple of days to chill off of the work and steam off grades for a while. This time, we went to a nice beach called Manuel Antonio. I had the most fun of my life during the many activities I had. First of all was the superman zip-line. This was awesome! It is a zip-line but instead of sitting down like usual, you lay down on a special suite that is attached to the line. The line was 1 kilometer long and you could get to speeds of 90 kilometers per hour! If you don’t think this is fun then wait until you hear what activity we after this, we went white water rafting! This was probably the best part of the trip (in my opinion). There were very fun rapids to go on and even though the water was cold I sat in the front with my friend Antonio and had a lot of fun being in the bravest and funnest seat of the raft. After this we ate some typical food and headed to the hotel by the beach. We went to the beach for a couple of hours and got an awesome game of tackle football going on. Later on, we got super tired and went back to the hotel to see who we were rooming with and finally went to sleep. The next morning was very tiring since we had to do community service for about 1 hour and a half (this was raking leaves at the national park Manuel Antonio) but after that we got to hang around the beach for a longer time and played some more football. Finally, we had to go back home. This was very sad since the weekend was just starting and we all wanted to have a lot of fun at the beach, but it was going to have to happen at one point in time.

Thanks for reading!

Down hilling at Whistler

May 2nd, 2008 by hammond

A couple of months ago I went to Blackcomb Whistler. It is a ski park and a bike park. Yeah, I went down hilling. This is a very intense sport, which my brother enjoys a lot so we gave it a try.  This was my first time and my brother had already mastered stuff about it since he practices this sport 24/7. So, we went on black diamond trails. MY sweat was dropping down my forehead meanwhile I was riding on a Kona Stinky with some nice 88’s. This is awesome suspension. I was riding a full suspension bike so on the intense jumps over gaps; the landing was not that hard. This was the most fun I have had. But, on a drop, a bailed and was very soar (it was a black diamond called Dirt Merchant). The only problem was that a very advanced down-hiller was coming down at about 65 miles per hour and almost crashed into me. I had a huge bruise for a while and my arms were to soar to keep on. But Mark and I kept going for a couple more days. At the end, I was thinking about how much of an opportunity this gave me and this moment inspired me to keep on riding. There were other things to do around the town of Whistler Canada. So we decided to walk around. If you guys have been to Florida than you would know what I meant after you walk for days because of visiting or shopping, this gets your legs pretty soar, especially after down hilling for days! So, if you guys want a heck of a work out and you are the type of person who likes extreme sports which you can get hurt on. This is an awesome place that is just right for you!  This is a video of some people with a headcam doing Dirt Merchant too.

Lake Tahoe

April 24th, 2008 by hammond

Lake Tahoe, pretty cool huh? I was in California and in Nevada at the same time. I went to Lake Tahoe last winter vacation and it isn’t the first time I have gone either. Obviously I went to go snowboarding like usual. I have been snowboarding since a long time ago so I am pretty good at it. I can go on double black diamond trails and love to go to trick parks where there are pipes, and rails. I haven’t done a rail but I have gone off jumps and can pop some tricks. My favorite trick to impress people going on ski lifts and having to wait the stressful boring time all the way up the mountain is the 360 tail grab. Even though it might seem complicated it is really not, I got it on a couple of tries. So anyways, I was hitting the park all the time with a nice 140 board and some nice Flow bindings. It was really cold and there was a huge snow storm which cause more than 15 feet of snow to fall. But, my foot was hurting so much I could barely resist since I did not tie my boots tight enough. My foot was bending when I would turn and would hurt a lot when I would have to “skate” with my board on a flat to get to another lift. This was because the mountain (I was at Heavenly) was more than 10,000 feet in elevation, so if you would want to get to the top, you would have to take multiple ski lifts. So, I had an awesome time enjoying my snowboarding practice and looking and laying down on the nice, fluffy, white, powdery, fresh, snow that had just fallen and popping tricks of ramps to impress people by seeing a kid like me doing big tricks. I had the time of my life and I recommend you to go to Heavenly too!

Feelings

April 17th, 2008 by hammond

Some days I fell very weird, don’t you? Well what causes this to happen are our feelings. Yes we all have these and we all have different reactions to them. Today I felt like throwing up and had a huge headache. Well I came to a conclusion that the thing that was affecting me was my feelings. I came to this conclusion since I was worried and was dehydrated and was using my head way too much. This was because I had a lot of stuff to do in very little time. So I became worried and got a huge headache by thinking about what I should do about it.

I also found out that you have feeling s all the time and these are what make you have bad days, good days, lazy days, exhausted days etc.. So I tried to control this but it is impossible because they are automatic reactions to stuff that happens to you during the day. For example, if you get burned or you get a fast harmful pain to your heart you are probably going to say ouch! Yes this is an automatic reaction. So if you get insulted at school, I am guessing your automatic reaction will be having a bad day and feeling very angry and sad.

So since you can’t control them, I tried to not feel the reactions to it but found out that its like controlling your life thoughts and body. This is physically impossible. Finally, I learned that without feelings there is no point in life. If you don’t feel loved and don’t feel happy, why have a life, I don’t think you would want to live like this. As you can see, even though you’re having a bad day, don’t give up on yourself. These are your automatic feeling s which can’t be controlled and are going to happen once in a while. Odds are, after you get through your bad feelings, you’ll probably feel really relieved and happier than ever.
