Love his music

Picture this: September 19th 2012, homecoming week at school, a bus full of sweaty and tired cross country runners pulls up outside just a boys volleyball game starts up inside, and two teenage girls get off discussing a musician that had been at the school earlier in the day when they look at one of the painted doors of the school and see that he's playing at the Reif in half an hour. That's how I stumbled upon Jacob Fannin. Truth be told, I didn't want to go, but my best friend Bailey did. Why did I not want to see him? Simple, I was mad that he hadn't been there to see the marching band. Yes, it's stupid, but when Gundy told us at practice that morning (this year we offered marching band as a class, this way we could practice every morning in edition to our regular practice) that we'd have some musician here who'd watch our show, and play some music for us. But I went, because Bailey had heard him during choir and her and Autumn loved him, and I didn't feel like going home. I sure changed my mind about him once I heard him sing, plus I found him attractive ;). 
Ever since then we have been infatuated with him. His voice is amazing, and the best part is that it's his natural voice. He doesn't edit it or anything like most "stars" these days. His songs mean something, there not about getting laid, drinking, drugs, or anything of the sort. They're about life, love and not letting things get you down or keep you down. At least  that's how I interpret them, maybe you interpret them differently. That's the beautiful thing about music, not everyone who listens to it will have the same opinion about it. Music effects everyone differently. For example: his song Bullet Proof has, at times, made me cry, and my friends haven't (well, as far as I know).Another reason I like him is that he loves what he does. How can you not like, if not respect, someone who pursues their dreams?
It turns out that it was his birthday when he came. We wished him a happy birthday. Me and Bailey went up and talked to him after wards and it was so funny, because I introduced her as my ginger best friend Bailey, and she introduced me as her black best friend Julianna. We're riot us two!
I'm currently planning out a thing for this summer where he comes and does a house concert for us. See, it started with me sending him a message to see if he's be able to come back again, and he told me he'd only be able to if he it was for the school again or a house concert. I inquired about a concert and I've been discussing it with my friends. I think we're doing it, though I told him I couldn't give him a definite answer until  Sunday (tomorrow). At this point even I don't know if it's a go, I'm waiting for everyone to get back to me on whether or not they really are in. So I guess we'll find out tomorrow!

Timberman Triathlon

Okay, this one really is going to be short. I don't really have much to say besides what's about to be said. So....read on! First off do you know what a triathlon is? Or what the Timberman triathlon is? You don't? Let me explain then. A triathlon is where you swim, bike, and run. You're timed in each event and your transition time (how long it takes you to go from one event to the next) also counts against you. The Timberman is a triathlon held in Grand Rapids MN. It has a long course (mile swim, 26.2 mile bike, and a 10K run. But don't quote me on the bike) and a sprint course (1/3 mile swim, 13.1 mile bike, and a 5K run, but don't quote me on the bike again). It's a fun event put on every year and draws a nice crowd of people from every age and fitness level. I did the short course and this is how it went: Swim The swim was by far my worst event. I did it in my sports bra and spandex shorts (last year I did it in normal shorts and nearly lost them!...

Fun?

I was invited to go to a party. By a senior. BOO-YA!! So Jake and I went. We all mat at the basketball game Side note: We won, after going into overtime and almost a second overtime! The boys  are now going on to either section finals or section quarters.  Then we all went bowling, which hurt my ankle, so that now this morning it's all in a fit. We bowled until 11pm and then went back to Sidney's house were Spencer asked Marly to prom! Aww. There was a huge banner and everything! Once things called down everyone  headed in for food, well Jake, Kali and I already had. Hehehee. How does Cathy manage to make everything taste so good? We played Dance Dance Revolution 4, messed with each other and ate food. Jake and I should never play Dance Dance. We're not the best and look awkward. The entire time I missed my "group", my close friends, the one's who know me, who I actually hang out with. I normally don't hang out with the people who were there, some of them ...

Dear Asthma,

I would prefer to tell you this face-to-face, but seeing as you have no face and live within my own body, I see no chance of that happening anytime soon. Therefore it is with an ache in my chest that I write this to you. I am sorry, but we are different places in life. I will always remember the times we had together. I mean, who could forget the times you've had me doubled over, coughing as my lungs attempt to dispel you from my body causing you to become caught and tangled within my throat so I can no longer take in a breath. There's also the times where you, in anger with my lungs for trying to get rid of you, wrap your arms around my chest and squeeze with all your might. Just as you've done today. I would love to keep you here with me, but we really are in separate places in this life. I know, it sounds cliche and yet it rings true. You've changed since we first met. You now want to take the easy way in life. To sit back and watch all the good times ...
