wow

and the title refers to well....we shall get there...

yesterday was thankfully friday, the last full week i will ever have at my career in baldwin high school....ahhhhhh free at last, but i will miss quite a few people there...so i came home, slept in for a little bit and then went to the badmitton tournament....the first round me and bradburn played like two incredible players, seems like a reoccuring theme here....at least it was double elimination....the second game, whilst we were in the losers bracket we won like 11-9...next we faced brownie and kyle who we should have crushed but we messed it up at the end and they won 12-10.....well anyways after that i went over the hrehas to play cards....first game was 11 people...i cruised into the final 5 with about forty percent of the total chips but a few big losses to this little eshky kid cut deeply into my chip lead....i took out nick and little eshky and we were down to the final three....i honestly can't remember who it was there....i think me, ben, and maybe gerner???? i don't really remember, but i did get knocked out in third place and got money back...after me and matt schnieder(oh yeah, that's who won the first tourny...haha we played two games of ping pong which i won both and then we got started with the second game....it got down to me vs brandon in heads up action....i whittled him down for awhile but then he got lucky on an allin and took a lot of money on a straight, then busted my AK with AT putting me out in second, gg....we played side games until 4 am when i decided i needed to sleep a little....

today i awoke today thanks to my two best friends in the world, thanks for the calls(to everyone else, i completely hate you, haha just kidding around) and got some cereal and went to play basketball...the first game i was completely owned 25-9 and the second game was somewhat closer at 25-21 but after that i just decided to quit while i had some self confidence, hehe....after that, im not really sure what i did, i read a little bit of 1984 and then i got like this killer headache that was pretty close to a migraine....i took some tylenol and slept fitfully, waking up twice(once for the phone and once because in my semi-dillusional sleep i convinced myself that someone that i knew was dead???) when i woke i felt better, so i went to mcdonalds....seriously you pay six bux there and get a shitty meal, but i was so hungry so i didn't really mind....then i came home and watched american beauty, that is a hell of a movie, i would completely recommend it....

so the title refers to something that i picked up on lately.....i used to read in magazines and books that everyone in the world was completely cynical...well i have found this to be the complete, infallible truth....to the pompous, self centered people out there, i hope that you come to realize that there is more than you and your material things, your accomplishments, and more than all, your egos....seriously, arg....in all of my life, i have met about two or three people that were not completely worried about only themselves.....well that is enough criticism for today...let us end this on a hopeful note....go pirates!
