Short poem

Ode to Relaxation

Why can't I relax?
I'm always remembering the facts.
I'm also always reading.
My heart keeps beating.
I'm always in concentration.
No time for relaxation.
Why can't I relax?

Limits

This small six letter word holds more meanings then people may realize. There are all different kinds of limits, from mathametical limits to physical limits. There are even literary limits. In all these instances of limits there are minimums and maximums. In my opinion there should be no such thing as limits. If I wanted to lift 450 lbs right I couldn't because my body is not in the condition to deal with that amount of strain on my muscles since my physical limit is only 135. Limits simply with hold someone from doing something in both minimum limits and maximum limits. From a literary stand point there should never be a minimum word limit or maximum page limit because the writer should write as much as he or she wants. If a person writes 300 words for a 1000 word paper then they should not get penalized because that is what they felt was needed for there piece. Now if they do not hit other certain literary criteria for the paper in the 300 words then they can be penalized. I understand that limits are set as guidelines and rules to abide to yet could you imagine what the human race could accomplish without limits. We would have traveled all across the universe by now, built time machines, and even created teleportation devices. While these tasks may seem impossible now, just like rules limits are meant to be broken.

Lacrosse is back!

So the first week of lacrosse is in the books. With this being my senior year I feel as though I should be excited for this season, yet I feel indifferent. With this possibly being the last time I ever step on that field I should give it all I got, yet I feel sluggish and annoyed with the sport. Coming into this season I have just put a negative perspective in my mind and I got to snap out of it. I dedicated so much of my time to this sport I have to finish strong. So that's what I will do! Time to get out of this slump and keep working! #Playoffbound

Progress

So on a previous blog I made some very ambitious goals about my fitness level. While I have not reached all of them yet I have progressed immensely. Since the beginning of this month I have been going to the gym everyday to get stronger and look better. Here are some of my results so far. I have squatted a whopping 225 lbs. which is a lot heavier than certain people may think. While I felt amazing after squatting that much I felt even better after reaching this goal on the bench. Just yesterday I decided to try for the 15th time to put up a plate. For those of you who don't know that means a 45 lb. weight on each side of the bar. This totals up to a gargantuan 135 lbs. At the gym if you can put this up you are kind of "big sh*t" and people can see it. Well, on that 15th time I crushed that weight! That's right ladies and gentlemen I basically pick-up 135 lbs. and threw it across the gym. This was easily one of the top 5 greatest moments of my life. Now with this goal reached I just do not want to lose all the work I have done during the spring sports season. I will try my hardest to still stay dedicated to the gym.

What is it?

Finally, home at last now I can go get the soft delicate thing. While small in size, it lets your head feel like a bottle floating on top of the ocean. This thing can come in any color or any design. The one that I have is a plain white but its cover varies from week to week. Every time you touch the thing an image of a nice cozy lodge with a warm fire is played in your head. I always end my day and start my morning with this fluffy item. Everybody probably has one but if not they are really missing out. Well it's time for me to be engulfed by the comforting thing so goodnight and sleep well.

Time for a Redo

So lately my adventures to the gym have been really inconsistent. Some weeks I would go three days others I wouldn't go at all. A lot of this has to do with me having track practice everyday but I know that should be no excuses. But now that track has officially ended the GRIND starts again. Everyday after school I will be at the gym for at least an hour. I will continue this routine until lacrosse starts on March 1st. So this gives me a full month to get into a routine and accomplish some goals. A few goals I have set for my self to complete by the end of February deal a lot with lifting. I want to be able to bench 185, squat 250, and leg press 450. While these weights are very large compared to what I can do now I know that if I get into a consistent routine I will be able to reach these goals. This month will truly test my dedication and determination skills but I know I will end this month victorious.

The Game Show Opportunity

I have watched a great deal of game shows in my lifetime and I have witnessed contestants be forced to answer one big question. The question is: "Do you play it safe or risk it all?". While this question does not apply to all game shows it is implemented in the majority of them. I have decided that if I was ever able to play on a game show I would risk it all. I believe that a person was given the opportunity to go on a game show to try and win big. The extra few thousand dollars that they get on the way to the big jackpot is nice to have but going for the highest amount possible gives a person more of reason to fight for every last cent. I feel as though if you can afford to be on the game show then you are well off enough to come back home empty handed and live you life the same way you lived it before the event. I also believe if a person plays it safe then they will forever hold a sense of regret for not trying to go for more money. While certain circumstances would dictate other peoples opinions on the topic I believe this question should already be answered before a contestant walks on the stage.
