A Wise Word

I'm not sure where the advice is from. I think I first heard it in the sunscreen song. "Each day do one thing that scares you." Looking back over my weekend one that all though I felt sick and incredibly tired has felt like it was a rewarding one.
On Friday I meet new people something that scared me. Surprise surprise It wasn't half as scary as I thought it'd be! And now I have some new acquaintances.
On Saturday I went on a road trip with Rich, Linz, Rod, and Alice. (Youth Pastor, Youth leader, Pastor, and Youth group Kid/Pastors daughter). To Greymouth. Which was a bit scary especially with Richards Driving! I also messaged someone from Friday on facebook. Which was a very interesting experience, its interesting to see how many times you can re-write a 20 word message before you send it! Then I replied to a text I had no idea I would've got although it was nice and stayed up texting well into the night and until my birthday! Which was Sunday.
On Sunday It was my birthday, I played drums in church, not even my own church. Something that had been terrifying me all week! And you know what? It wasn't that bad. I think I might put myself back on the roster at my own church and start practising the drums again!
Now its Monday, I texted someone to ask them something when I half expected them to turn around and murder me, they didn't but It wasn't a massive request in the text so who knows! Maybe when they see me they will?
Tomorrow's Tuesday and I intend to continue this new trend! Hopefully it'll help to make each day an adventure! :P

New Sam; GOALS

Well, I have been thinking, mowing lawns is very therapeutic. . . I've decided I am lazy. I know I am, it's by choice too. I can quite easily sit down on the computer and waste away hours, i did it almost all of yesterday. This happens especially when I've planed my day. For example yesterday i decided I'd get up, wash my dad's car, was my car, and maybe mow the lawns then go to the movies with friends using the lawn money, go home do maths homework and economics's.

What actually happened is as follows; Woke up, looked at the time, went back to sleep, got up an hour later, go on computer for 1 and 1/2 hours, go to have a shower, no hot water, go back to room, go on computer, decide to risk cold shower, become very awake, go back to computer, go downstairs, watch tv, computer, then ask for a ride, raid my money box til empty to just get enough money to pay for the movies, wait for mum to take me the bus stop (I have a car but I can't actually drive it legally by myself yet. . . ) get to the movies late, hung out at the mall with almost no money for 30mins, bused home, watched television.

On reflection that was a huge waste of a day, i achieved nothing! From now on this changes I will set myself goals. With this blog as my witness i will stick to them! I will update the blog regularly to keep me accountable, say at least once a week.

So today I thought as I mowed the lawns (on a ride on) between the mindless honing and mowing figure of 8's; of a few goals I need.

1. Get Fit; Seems simple but every good goal needs ways to complete it. I'm not horribly unfit, but i would like to be fit for health reasons, be able to keep up with my gf (she's quite athletic) And as a sub-goal as I've probably left it far to late due to my problem to get into the OPC team. To do this I will go to the trainings on Tuesday mornings, drink more water, restart doing the 100 push ups challenge, go to the weights room and go for runs (perhaps get up early to do it?).
   
2. Study and do Homework; As being a lazy teenager I don't do a lot, and one of those things I don't do is my homework. I've done maths homework maybe 3 times this year other subjects only when it's been important or when teachers have being nagging. I want to get it done so now on I will do it! And whats more, I will study. I have 80 more credits this year, that with effort I could get excellences, to get the excellence endorsement. I want to get it this year. I don't understand algebra so I must get out my text book and study it. I think maybe I should turn my computer off before school and not turn it on until after I've done homework and study, and if it requires a computer do that last.
3. Read More; I like reading, but when I'm between books I don't. Not because i don't want to just I've got nothing to read so I don't. I don't actively seek new books to read either I need to start doing this. To fix this I shall go to the library, the school one, and get one for the city library's (my old one ran out).
4. Get my drivers license!; I'm 17 in 3 weeks, I could have my full by now, I've had my learners for over a year. I need to get the next step up at least! This one I want to complete by the end of the month. So what shall I do? Get the Fiat serviced. Practise driving everywhere I can. Book my Restricted test for before the 31st.or make excuses. So No more. Now on I will practise. As often as possible
5. Get good at drums; I've been learning the drums for 2 and 1/2 years? and yet I'm not very good! Obviously I need to practise more and I always mean to but I always getdestructedat least 3 times a week excluding youth group 'jam' on Thursdays.
   

Also to help me with these goals directly and indirectly I need to start to go to sleep on time! So I think turn my computer by 10pm at the latest preferably 9.30.

So these are my goals as of now. I'm sure I had more so I may post some more later if the occur to me.

So now, I'm going to go do maths homework. Good luck me!

Enjoy the Silence.

ARGHHHH!!!! I dont know, School! Argh its soooo boring! I thought Yah! Friends in my classes. . . It seems everyone feels like me. . . And Just is meh! The people I thought would want to sit with me just plain dont. I dont know why! I dont know how long I can cope! Its all so boring!!! I'm finding subjects hard, like english, People using words to discribe things that I have never heard before!!! Its REDICULOUS!!! and why's it all about Love?!?!

Also, I dont feel very energised at the moment. I just feel so drained, all the time. It sucks, I eat food and that doesnt help. I do things and they dont help! Its like a drained, starving yet not hungry, tired, and bored sort of feeling. My stomuch feels like its knotted all the time, like something bads going to happen. I sometimes dont even want to get out of bed, I dont think i can deal with everything. . . It's to much. I dont feel like im close to anyone really. Well thats a lie, I kind of do. I dont feel like they have time for me anymore. That they want to have that time. Should I need them too?

School is sosososososo boring at the moment. . . Iv been back for two days and i just want to explode in some classes. Would it be pathetic to have a mental health day after only two days back?

I know I'm not physically ill or anything. Cause somethings make me happy, feel normal. Thats whats wrong. I dont feel normal. I dont really feel anything. . . Well I feel somethings. Im not sure if i should feel those things though. Not allowed to... Those feelings arent wanted. Im desperate for something to make everything seem better... What should I do?I dont want to be at home, but I dont know who will do anything with me? If they'll want to! Home's boring. . . All there is MYYEARBOOK, FACEBOOK, BEBO, and MSN. Theres nothing really exciting. Theres they drums but I never feel motivated to go practise or play. They're just something else to do. . . They dont enthrill or inspire. . . I have books to read, sure they're interesting. Mainly I read them cause the people who lent me them want them back. They're not bad books or anything. They're great books! They're just very heavy. . . Involve alot of thought, effort. Thinking, and processing Idea's. I Like them I truely do though. . . What ever happened to happy endings though? And Why are they always at the end? Why cant something good happen at the start of one of the books?

I have goals. I have aims. Im not sure what the motives of them are. Is it for myself? Is it for someone else? Is it to impress someone? Im not sure.

Man I hate cats!!! Why cant they just leave me alone!?!?! AAAARRRRRRRGGGGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!!!

Weekend!

Weekend!!!
My weekend was interesting! Saturday the plan was to study. . . Soooo i practised drums and watched Tv! My mum left to go to Chicago, so we had an old fashion movie night! Like Dad, and Jono and me used to do all the time! oh Except we had Chinese instead of McDonald's or KFC but it was still awesome. We watched Iron man which i hadn't seen yet, but man its a cool movie!
I want that suit! except in glossy white with silver and blue edging. . . Like my Halo2 dude! :P

Then the next day, (Sunday!) i played the drums in church. Which was stressful as always! But i didn't stuff up at all this time, well not majorly! Then Nick and I walked to Riccarton, and played at kirkwood schools playground on the way! We then saw "How to Lose Friends and Alienate People" and as we left that we saw my Dad and he gave me money to go with him to "Journey to the Centre of the Earth 3D" so me and Nick went to that!

Then on Monday i went SNOWBOARDING!!! YAH!!!! I spent the day boarding with Matt, i did a few rails and a couple of Indies but mostly i just cruised along. It was pretty sweet! Then after that Matt swung by and picked me up and we went surfing at New Brighton! so now iv snowboarded and surfed in the same day! xD

What do you do when all your enemies are friends?

Hello!!! the title so yah know is cause im listening to Monkey Wrench atm. It couldv been its the end of the world as you know it a few minutes ago. Some how i think thats more apropriete at this moment of time. . .

Im Nervous, OPC trials tomorrow. Now i dnt think im fat but next to the Atheletes that are trialling next to me im a Mr. Colossus.

Things, people are stressing me. Mixed emotions. Confused. Pain. Hurt. But yes i know im bing Cryptic but thats the mood im in atm.

You ever had a song that suits your day? I can't think of one for today. . . Maybe Better days. But atm it needs to be a song that starts of fine and happy. Then declines into a depressing slomp of nothing-ness. Blackbox may be appropriete for latter. Who knows. I might just be like woah! But i think il be better.

btw this post has been written over two days.

Hm. . . Now think it could maybe be Takes a Radical. by Elemeno P. but i dnt know! MAybe not at all actually now that i think about it. I hate not knowing my days perfect song! Its like the guy in Definatly Maybe said. . . Its an extreme joy to know your song.

Well any how tomorrow is talk like a Pirate day! so Arrrr Me Arty's! :P Arrrr!!!

Well i should sleep.

And then i stayd at Siobhans housey but then i got sick so on Sunday my Mummy had to come and pick me up. And i went home but it was a good weekend.

TTYL!!!

Killer, Murderer . . . and Birthday Parties!

Thats what my friend Nick Muttered at me some what accusingly at me. . . I stared back blankly. My brain trying to figure out what he was talking about. . . He'd been telling me he hated me all night (admittedly this was when i PWNED that Newb!!!) Then it clicked he was just talking bout me shirt! Cereal Killer. . . Thats what i am!

Well a few days ago it was my birthday so yester day 6 boys ascended on my house. Each one Hungerer than the last!!! THe plan was that id hire a Xbox360 and my friend would bring his so we could play 8 player Halo3 but i didnt book one at any video store and they were all hired out. My Mother dear ran around for an hour trying to track one down. But it didnt work as planned so basically we set up one Xbox360 with 3 controllers until one broke, a PS2 with Guitar Hero, my xbox with 3 player Halo2 and StarWars Battlefront 2 (only 3/4 ports work!) and my Laptop was used all night long for Youtubing and Msning.

My Friend Daniel brought caffine pills so some people took them to stay up all night. . . He's crashed now in the spare bedroom and has been for 2 1/2 hrs now. :P Only Bob coped doing it Al-la-Natural.

It was a good night except i had to keep getting more food! Boy my friends can eat. At about 1/4 5 i went to sleep until 10:30 most of my friends except Nick stayed up the WHOLE night! Poor Bobby had a cold. And Jacob try'd to go sleep in the Spare bedroom but when Nick started snoring, loudly. I think Jacob description was "like a train crashing into Mt Vesueveous". In the moring when i woke everyone was ready for breakfast so i fried the bacon and Nick made Pikelets and we feed those wolves. It was a good party.

My Birthday was good this year except i felt sick on the day, and i forgot my lunch! so i survived on gofted Chocolate and Reeses Pieces!

I got lost of cool things i got a drumkit! Yuss!!! It's Blue and its really just for practising i imagine if it got moved more than twice it'd fall apart! But it's still Mine! And I got Doc's!!! And Pj's and ear phones, MooLa, like $130 (in Total) hehe! An Eb games Voucher, a Rubber Ducky a Bracelet cuf thingy, Fudge, Chocolate, Cranberry Juice, a book bout that man with the paperclip. The new Elemeno P Album, a Switchblade album a Chimchar Doll! Tim and Bob's card was funny, And Jacob made a neat comic stripe witch ill upload sometime.

Well im gonna go have lunch now seeing as it's 3:36 and im Hungry!!!

So Long Suckers!

Youth Group!

Well tonight was a thursday night so i did what i always do. I went to Zebs and had a Jam type thing! it was fun! except we ran outta Guitar amps! Lol but yeah we played this kinda Bluesy Jazzy song that was quite slow for like 1/2 and hour. It was AW-Sum! I'm the drummer btw ;) incase you didnt guess from my pictures! :P
Well Youth Group was fun we watched Star Wars a New Hope, laughed at all the clitches and because there are no girls at my youthgroup laughed at all the perfectly harmless stuff that could be dodgy if said in the wrong way! Then we had a debate over who was better Han Solo, or Luke Skywalker! I voted 4 Han Solo!

Update.

So yeah, I am Still Sam as far as i know and thats good. I like being Sam it has its advantages. I started archery today and it was fun! i shot the target and actually hit it twice to! xD Well... Once in the centre of the target... But my Drum teacher rung me up and thats starting up again so im happy about that! I like drums. Even though i suck! but its fun causing lots of noise! xD i started playing on this site called Ikariam. I'l put it in the links list. Im kinda getting bored with my Tribal war account but i want to keep it otherwise all those hours were a waste of time. Lol alot like this! but ok!

Well i need to go to sleep nowish! gd night!
