Ponderations on the 29th of April

Day 3 of the "Swine-Flu Week" and it was going pretty good until once again my mind started wondering and dreaming.
Well today I wasn't able to sleep in, thank you yard work. 8 hours! 8 hours of cleaning the lawn, mowing it down, moving limbs and such, weed eating, and all of this on 1.5 acres! ugh, I had to get up at 8 and work from 9 till 5.....but I guess it was ok. For some strange reason, whenever I do physical labor, it enables my mind to think.....alot.

Thoughts from today:

1. I've grown another inch (which brings my total height to 6'3") and gained 5 pounds (bringing my weight to 131 (back to before I was sick)). Darn you puberty! You and your abnormal and unrelenting growth spurts (funny that they're called "spurts" when it's nonstop for me) Your hormones which block the synapses of my brain and prevent the neurons from firing up (granted they are getting tired of it all) which in turn makes me feel, one moment in top of the world, then the next moment being crushed by it's weight.

2. How I wish for the time before this year, when everything seemed simpler. I didn't have to worry about my egotism getting in the way of my more progressive ideas and wants. I didn't give a frack about girls (fracking puberty again). My priorities were set straight (or at least straighter). Ah, how I miss the days when my greatest worry was if my mother was in one of her "moods". But then again, if I had the chance to go back and try to make things better, I wouldn't take it, however much I love and/or despise this life I have, I still have that chance and that's all I need right now.

3. Well I created my newest major plan (for those of you who don't realize the significance of that, I'm the kind of person who loves to make a "tree plan" (another tree reference....hhmmmm....) that in calls and a subplan for every possibility) and hopefully I can set it in motion tomorrow. Sadly though, as much as you may want to discover so you can figure it out which could in able you to destroy it, or just for the sake of figuring it out, I shall not announce it, you'll just have to figure it on your own and wonder if you are currently being manipulated (that word has such a harsh meaning in today's society, sadly) by me in order for me to reach certain goal *evil laughter*

4. I've been going over my book (It's almost done!) and I've got to say I'm surprised how far it's come since 8th grade. I've had general ideas and character personalities since then but I never really started to try to make it into a plausible and understandable story until this time last year. When I've finally completed the first draft I will be handing it over for a certain someone to read it (You know who you are, and if by some reason you don't, look in that late present I gave you) so that they can give me their advice and opinions on it, then it shall got to other friends and such until I can formulate a newer and better way to express my story that I want to tell. I also hope in that time, they will be able to spot hidden ideas, expressions, and "Easter eggs" if you will.

5. Figuring out the "her" situation (enough said at this time)

On a final note, I feel I must end with a bright note (for me at least)......there's talk in the higher echelons of our school system who are thinking about closing school for another week! And to top it all of, I get to have Chester's tomorrow! Life as of this moment is looking up!
