Night Games
I have a poem that I wrote...so if you don't like poetry or you don't want to read my attempt at trying to sound deep, then don't read this and come back later. Otherwise, enjoy!
"Night Games"
Immersed and perplexed
As the sun creeps along the cement floor
Players create fantasy
And seamless precision
Filters throughout the room
The sky becomes dimmed
As the mission previews
The night and graphics
Glow in the ambient light
Our own involvement was simple
To go with the gain of glee
Or of nonsense
Possession is not the question now
But who takes advantage of the darkness?
The only photographer is our own eyes
And formations perch
Within our perplexed vision
Persuading our dimmed mind
To keep going, the game cannot stop
Smooth drills are fitting in the
Sophistication
As rivaled bodies dance in the moonlight
The game begins to get faster
As the tournament develops into
The ultimate madness and utter
Pleasure
Our hopes and wishes are uttered
In the heat of the game
Never missing a beat
We’re as if in a dream
The final round is coming up fast
Excitement peaks and shadows move across the floor
The players move with ease
We move with ease
Until the final point is scored in the darkness
But we cannot see
We only feel as we slowly sink
And we blend together like illustrations
On a wet canvas
And once again it is supposed to represent something. Who knows if it works. And who ever said you can't write about something you've never done? All you have to do is be a little creative. I will come back and write about my good weekend later. Peace.

Crusin'
What a beautiful day! I have done absoutely nothing today...wait I take that back. I went to class. That has to count for something because it was a long ass day. But then I went outside to the party in the courtyard instead of swimming, man I am doing well. But I will be up at 5:30 in the morning to go practice, I assure you that. And I will be at dryland at 4:00. But I don't want to go to speech...hummm. I will have to think about that. Yay for relaxing weeks. The next four weeks will be hard, but then we're done! Well nothing else too exciting going on here, I am excited for the weekend! I will come back when I have something worthwhile to say.

And we're off
O man. I am dead. Running sprints and then stairs do it to me everytime. Well I haven't written in a while so I decided to write about my super exciting life.
Cricket Cricket...
Just kidding. Well all I can say is what a weekend. A complete 180 from last Friday where I went to a pretty relaxing concert and then on Saturday to loveland for my brothers' swim meet and then dance revolution party with Lauren in the room, and laying out in the sun on Sunday. Don't get me wrong, it's really nice to have a relaxing weekend every once and a while, but I think it was well time for one of those super crazy, off the wall, I can't really remember what went on weekends.
Sadly though, my sober streak is over. But it was well worth it and I was told today that we only have four more weekends here. FOUR! That's only eight more going out nights. So sad because then comes summer and the wrath of my mother will premit me from going out whenever I want...
Ok! So overview of the crazyness in Fort FUN. Friday night I really had no clue what I was going to do, all I knew that Elise was coming...and the rest of the night was a mystery. So we played everything by ear. We started off by having a quick dance party in the room, you know, just to get warmed up for the rest of the night. And then went to Hu Hot's Mongolian grill. It was delicious as well as entertaining. We got to watch them cook our food from a giant grill, so it was a new experience. So after a nice two hours of girl talk (Lauren, Elise, Katie and I) we headed back...worked a little magic (or should I say Elise did), got ready blah blah blah (you can fill in the blanks) and then headed off to a party. That was really fun because I had been there before so I knew a lot of the kids, and we brought a ton of people. That's what all those pictures are from. I even got a fly workout in. After that party we came back here and I made friends with a nice Columbian boy who spoke about three words of English. We tried talking for about an hour--me with my fragmented/drunken Spanish and him with his three words, and we got along quite well. I couldn't tell you I have the slightest clue why he was in Corbett hall in Ft. Collins Colorado or even what his name is in English...or in Spanish for that matter, but he was very nice. And that's all that matters.
So after that I went to bed. Saturday we woke up, mid-day of course and Ash, Kristin, Elise and I went to Chipolte and then Starbucks. Let's just have a moment of silence for the best lunch ever......................mmmmmmmmmm.
Then Elise left and I had just enough time to shower before Katie came over and not too long afterwards Ryan got here. Once again we had no clue what we were going to do so we pretty much played everything by ear. I don't really know what we did for the first half of the night, we ate and hung out...ventured to another dorm, visited everyone I knew (three people), and then came back here and I met Ryan's friends (yes, ironic he has more friends that go to my school than me...) and we hung out in my room, Kristin came over and blah blah blah (once again, fill in the blanks) and then headed off to a party where Kristin and I line danced for a while, then to an empty apartment with (and I shit you not) a role of toliet paper, four chairs, three beers, a George Foreman, 1 hamburger patty and a light fixture. In the entire apartment. So what do you do with six people and a lot of empty space?
WREASTLING MATCH!
I'm not quite sure how it started or when it ended but all I know is that I am getting damn good. We even had tag teams. That's how cool we are. Somewhere in there I rested by doing wall sits (??). Then we left and I was so tired. I almost fell asleep in the car on the way back. We got back here and before I could pass out in Kristin's bed, I came home, brushed my pearly whites and fell asleep.
So that was a fun night, the guys we hung out with were pretty cool, and I have no doubt I will be seeing them again.
Good times in the neighborhood. So Sunday Ryan stayed for a while since it was freaking snowing. We just hung out, I was pretty boring, I'm not gonna lie. Sunday is probably my most boring day of the week, so I usually try to stay away from most human contact except my roommate. After he left I watched some movies on TV, talked on the phone and avoided all homework until 11:00 when I filled out my speech critique sheet and decided I had spent enough time on homework.
Well that was my crazy weekend, it was a lot of fun. I got to hang out with everyone that I wanted to and even got to see some of my CU buddies. And then there was school today and I did not want to go at all. But one of our classes was cancelled and our lab was short, and speech was just listening to...speeches! So it wasn't bad at all. Until hell, when we had to run. So there's my life. It was semi-exciting, and this week should be pretty laid back, so that will be nice.
That's all I have for now, hopefully I can get some more pictures on here soon, but until then long live salami!
O yes I will leave off with some quotes from last week/end...
"#1 sign not to approach a girl: guy next to her is playing with a knife" Me & KC
"And we almost got died" Kristin, English Major
O yes and two quotes from an excerise we did in class
"You're so ugly I forgot how to spell" -Excerise on overhead
"The wind is a bitch and I don't like horses" -Me
And that is all.

Saving face
It's been a while, that's only because school is killing me. I am having trouble keeping up with everything so on this morn of Wednesday April 6th I have decided I don't want to do any more work until tonight. I know, it's a big deal. I just feel like I am in third grade and I want my mom to do everything for me. I'm so burned out. One more month. I can do it.
I have some bad news. My face is falling off and my hair is falling out. And soon I will be a faceless hairless blob walking around. That's a scary image. So I guess I should be grateful that I have a face right now. We all should.
Practice was pretty fun and easy this morning, so I guess that can be the good news.
Well that's pretty much all that's going on right now. Wow, that's pretty sad. O yeah, and still going sober... I wonder how long it will last, it's pretty nice. One month down, maybe I can make it two.
I can't wait until summer...I can't stop thinking about it. And I scheduled for next year, I have four 50 min classes on MWF and one hour and 15 on TR. We'll see how that goes. Well I am going to try to save the parts of my face that haven't fallen off. Oh yeah and I need to thank Chris for be so kind to let me use his picts to post on my blog. Thank you Chris for being so generous, I never knew you were so givng. Ok well time to get ready for class, more picts to come in the future.
