My Tuesday.

Don't you just hate when you go out to eat somewhere, spend a dick-ton of money ($6.18 in my case), and come home to find a brand-new sheet of coupons for the restaurant you just-so-happened to eat at? Yeah. That blows. It also happened to me. Aaaaaand it pissed me off. So to cap off my night, I will proceed to make you people a list of the things that pissed me off today.

1. We're watching a movie called Red Dawn in my history class this week. I'm not sure why, but I think it has something to do with the fact that my history teacher forgot he was a teacher. Maybe he was just having Patrick Swayze withdrawals. Maybe he just doesn't get enough Charlie Sheen on Monday nights. Those are the only explanations I can think of. The reason this pisses me off, for those of you who haven't had the privilege of feasting your eyes and ears on this particular film (so everyone who's not in Mr. Durkes' history class this semester), is that the movie depicts The Soviet Union and Cuban soldiers invading the U.S. in Calumet, Colorado. As the invasion commences, a group of high school students hid in the mountains, defending their homeland from the enemy using Guerrilla tactics, while sadly, only two of them die (so far). Historically accurate? No. Appropriate for an 11th grade U.S. history class? No. You all can hopefully understand my being upset.

2. Dual track meets. Honestly, I think these are some of the most pointless things ever invented. Well, not more pointless than this, this, or this, but you get my idea. I get that dual meets are sometimes the only chances to let the younger kids on the team to run, and I know they're really good practice for everyone on the team, but when you're racing teams like Manchester and Frankton, they get a little old.

3. Living in Sweetser, Indiana. That will get old very quickly for anyone involved in the situation. Never heard of Sweetser? It's okay, I hadn't either a year ago. But I'll lay it all out for you. If you like gas stations, tractors or Garfield, this is the place for you. If you're part of the other 99.9% of the Hoosier population, please steer clear of this place, and all of Grant County for that matter. Believe me, it's for your own good. Unless, of course, you're coming to see Terone Johnson or Courtney Moses ball it up on Sunday. If you are, I'll see you there.

4. This.

5.
The fact that it's 11:17 right now and I'm not dreaming about Patrick Sebanc (which, creepily has happened twice recently). Kind of weird, I know. And dude I understand if you don't want to be friends anymore after that. I get it.

I feel like I should point out the positives in my life also, to kind of even out the balance and let you people know that I don't hate my life as much as you think I do. Here we go: Brand New, the lady in my life, party pizzas, KFC's Double Down, Kyle Duvall, not having a meet tomorrow, Billy Madison, and the anticipation of the exact moment my head makes contact with my pillow. I also love writing for all (2) of you people who read the blog. Remember, we're always open to any suggestions, questions, or anything else you want to say to us.

All that said, I love you people and goodnight for now. I'll hopefully write soon again.
