Lets Give This a Shot

Well this is it I guess...my first post.  Now, not many people out there consider me much of a writer and may have thought I would be the last person to have a blog.  But as I seem to be finding out more and more everyday people don't know me very well and I'm not sure I like that.  But really is it their fault for not knowing who I am? Or is it my fault for not creating the "proper" image for myself?  I really started thinking when last night over dinner my girlfriend and I were discussing the saying "perception is reality" and if it is actually accurate or not, and I'm not quite sure what my thoughts are on that.  But like many things, it will be on my mind and eating at me until I pick a side and stick to it passionately.  Any thoughts from anyone?

Today I found out what it was to be "busy" but at the same time not doing much.(filled schedule but little work involved)  I had to get up early to go to the chiropractor and get my back fixed that had been killing me, and I have never felt so awkward.  For all you out there who thought the idea of being able to get a sports physical from your chiropractor...don't do it!!  Last week I got a physical done for hockey and everything was going smooth until it came time to "turn and cough," although there was a rubber glove being used I felt violated and nearly ran out the building with my pants around my ankles.  Today being the first visit after my physical was slightly awkward seeing as I couldn't stop coughing and he wouldn't stop laughing.  I think we were on the same page.. But all and all it ended up being a successful visit and who can argue with missing 3 periods of school?  I got back just in time to suck at gym basketball and not get my points in gymnastics because I can't possibly get my heart-rate over 150.  Which brings me to my last rant. 

I was reading Jack Yakowicz's blog and couldn't agree more with his grading scale problems, and taking that one step further...heart-rate monitors.  When a class of 30 completely different kids are expected to get in the same target zone it's unfair.  Some of us who play sports where we are conditioned cannot get our damn heart-rate to 150 if sprinted for an hour, so why does it make it "fair" that the overweight kids can walk around the track and have this hoovering around 185 which is above the zone and EXTRA CREDIT!  So now we have defeated the purpose of the monitors and promote being fat and lazy because it's gonna get you extra credit.  Unbelievable.


Well that's about all I have for today, time to slip on my new Timberland boots that some people may call stupid, but my feet have never stayed warmer so I don't give a damn.  God/Allah/Whatever you believe bless you all and hope you have a great turkey day tomorrow.
