Off Topic / 8th place at our DII track championship.

« on: May 27, 2013, 09:08:38 PM »

So this was my first year running the 400m hurdles. I started with running a 67 second 400 hurdles and began to work my way down. It been super tough. I ended up qualifying for a championship which you had to run a 66.8. I go to that championship and I run a 61.5 taking 4th place and beating the kid on my team who earlier told me "You can have 2nd or 3rd but first place is mine". So I qualify for this large championship which the qualifying time was 63 seconds. I ran a 61.31 today, snatching 8th place, and coming in just behind the other runner on our team who ran a 61.04. The winning time was 57 seconds. Picture: Im on the far left, my other teammate is on the far right.

Off Topic / I've butt-dialed 911 3 times so far

« on: May 19, 2013, 09:08:53 AM »

For some reason my phone when locked can make emergency calls with like one button

Sometimes I'll take it out of my pocket and the screen will say "Make emergency call?" then you press the dial button and bam you've called 911

I've called twice during school and just this morning and is really annoying because the only way I know how to make emergeny calls when my phone is locked is to actually press 911; other than that I don't know how to make emergency calls when my phone is locked

Off Topic / another great day today

« on: May 02, 2013, 08:08:50 PM »

So today was just one of those great days.
I had woodshop today. I have an independent study which is usually only for juniors and seniors but I was able to get one. Im in a class with all seniors. But anyways, as an independent study student you make things in woodshop they on May 17th they have an artshow where you showcase what you've made. Then the principal comes arounds and interviews all the independent study students.

Anyways here is my custom designed adirondack chair(soon to be chairs and table)

I had to redesign the original adirondack chair in order to make it sit higher

Then I had a track meet which was amazing
I came in 2nd for the 110 High Hurdles with a time of 19.6 which is my PR
then I beat a teammate by .1 in the 400 hurdles with a time of 64.5. Another PR, my old one being 67.8
A 64.5 means I qualify for a division 2 track meet thing which is cool. So I earned 8 points at track today. I now have 17 varsity points.

Games / just bought H.A.W.X. 2

« on: April 24, 2013, 07:43:54 PM »

So I have the original HAWX and I decided to buy HAWX 2

I dont understand why it recieved a 66/100 on metacritic
Its 100% better than the original.
The landing and takeoff is awesome. The gameplay is fun and fast paced. THe flying is a little more difficult. The missions are neither too hard nor too easy.

PLUS I just found out you can buy upgrades, so I put a lot of my tokens into the "damage" category and recieved a jet rated 9/10 for air - to - air combat

Dicuss HAWX 2

Off Topic / I died in my dream. :(

« on: April 17, 2013, 09:42:29 AM »

So I had this dream and I was at my old school. I somehow ingested this poison. I went to the bathroom and was vomiting and having diarrhea. This is like the first stage of the poison. Later I was back in the bathroom looking at myself in the mirror. I notice another me standing behind me. I turn around and I punch him and that's when I noticed I was just hallucinating. I walk up a fligh of stairs to the main area of the school, lie down on my back and begin to cry. I was saying "where's my momma, get my momma" My mom comes over and I tell her I love her then she tells me she loves me too. She holds me in her arms and I say "I'm going to die, aren't I?" she said "It'll be ok". Then I die a few minutes later. :(

Off Topic / Looking for a video

« on: March 23, 2013, 11:57:34 PM »

My friend was just telling me about some YouTube video where this guy is playing minecraft and he does know what the hunger games are. So he joins a hunger Games server and starts killing like all the best players and at the end the guys like "where is the food" or something like that. If anyone knows what the video is that would be greatly appreciated because I've been looking for it.
