Gym Time

I just got back from the gym a while ago and now I have a ton of energy, which is backwards of what I thought it would be like but I feel awesome. I’m not going to write much today because I feel like I have ADD and I can’t focus on one thing for more than about five minutes. Maybe next time I go to the gym I should tire myself out a little more.

Well later today I have to go to get my hair cut and that should be good because my hair is way to long right now. I think I might bring my camera with me because there are some pretty cool buildings around my hairdressers place.

Anyway I’m going to stop this little blob of whatever it is because its probably really annoying so thanks for reading whatever this is.

Runin’

Today was a good day for me I didn’t really do anything hard at school, the only bad part of the day was photography. We learned what Hue/Saturation did. I don’t know about anybody else in the class but I already know what most of the things in Photoshop Elements do. I’m not saying I know everything or that I’m good at using every tool but I know what they do. Photography is actually my most boring class so far and that’s a big disappointment to me because I was really looking forward to that.

Tomorrow I am supposed to be going to Cobble Hills with a couple of friends and I will hopefully land a few more 270’s. I haven’t been able to do them lately because there is a huge groove in the jump from all of the crappy snowboarders hitting it in the middle. I have been hitting my 360’s lately though, I stomped about five of them yesterday. It was a pretty decent day of snowboarding yesterday. My next trick I’m going to try is a 540, I’ve landed a couple before but never a really good one. They are really hard because you have to spin fast and land switch, I also spin weird so it’s a blind landing for me. If I get the fives I will defiantly get some videos and put them up here so you can see what I’m talking about.

Im not going snowboarding today because I threw myself around pretty hard yesterday instead I think I will go to the Y. I have been working out there since I got my membership for Christmas. In my opinion it is even better than a regular gym because it has way more room and not very many people go there. When I go I usually run on the treadmill first. I have started to really enjoy that. I even bought that Nike+ thing that you put in your shoe and it tracks your run onto your iPod. I can run five kilometers in about twenty one minutes now and I can do around thirty kilometers a month. I think that’s pretty good for me and pretty much anyone else too.

Well until I hit a few fives or run a few kilometers I don’t really have anything more to write about today so thanks for reading today.

school…

Today I had my third day of photography class and it was pretty boring. We spent the whole 76 minutes editing one photo and we weren’t even allowed to do anything fun. We were only supposed to click the smart fix button (we’re using elements), crop, fix red eye with the red eye tool and clone out distractions. I don’t know about everyone else but that only takes me around 4 minutes to do. That means I spent 72 minutes just messing around in photoshop elements. There isn’t really a lot to mess around in with elements so I guess what I’m saying is that I had a really boring class. Lucky for me the rest of my classes were not that bad, in second period we had a substitute and an assembly so that was easy then it was lunch time. Lunch is actually not a very fun time of the day for me. I always have a huge mob around my locker and it’s always really loud so I usually end up with a headache by the end of lunch. After lunch I have biology and that was pretty good except I brought my chemistry binder so I had to switch over my notes after class and I took a long time switching them and had to hurry to chemistry. I realized when I got there that I brought my biology binder. So I didn’t have the right binder for the whole second half of the day, but other than that mix up it was a pretty decent day at school.

I hope that the rest of the semester goes by smoothly because if it’s anything like last semester I don’t know if I will make it through. Anyway thanks for reading.

Snowboarding and Yearbooks

This weekend I went snowboarding for the first time in about three weeks and it was pretty awesome. It just got really cold after it was warm for a while so the snow was really fast. Cobble has this one jump that’s like a 15 foot tabletop and you pretty much need to bomb it from the top of the hill to make it. I was pulling some pretty nice 360’s off of it and I was also doing some of the rails. I learned how to do 270’s on which is pretty awesome. That’s when you go up to the rail and spin 270 degrees on and land in a boardslide it looks awesome when you see someone do it cleanly.

So tomorrow all the high school kids have to go back to school for the second semester and I’m actually kind of excited. I know that’s weird but I want to see who is in all of my classes. I also like that all the classes I have for the second semester are ones that I’m good at. It’s still going to be a hard semester but hopefully it will be a fun one too. The only thing that I’m worried a about is I haven’t got my yearbook yet and one of my teachers is the guy that does all the yearbook stuff so I’m hoping I can still get one. Other than that I’m not really concerned about next semester at all.

Anyway that’s enough boring stuff for now, and thanks for reading.

Industry Skatepark Bike Trip

Today I wrote my last exam, it was a math exam and it was killer. It was four pages long and it took me more that two hours to finish. I was one of the last ones in the room finishing but I didn’t really have a rough time with it. It was good that I went in yesterday to get some help because some of the questions my teacher gave me were the exact same ones that were on the exam.

I am hoping that tomorrow will be a good day for me because I am supposed to be going to Industry Skatepark in St Thomas. It is the only indoor skatepark that’s driving distance from here. It is mostly for bikes now and that is good because I’m a BMX rider. The best part about it is there is a huge foam pit that you need a ramp that’s almost as high as the roof to air into it. The foam pit is awesome but its still really easy to hurt yourself when your going into it, I learned that the hard way. I was trying and X-up (spinning your bars around then brining them back to land without letting go) and I only did half of it so my arms were crossed when I landed and I went head first over my bars and smashed my gut on my bars, It was pretty painful.

So hopefully I have an injury free day tomorrow, thanks for reading.

Mostly About Math Class

Today the new iPad was announced and I have to say it looks pretty awesome. The only thing is I wouldn’t be able to use it for anything. I would pretty much use it like an iPod only. I don’t know what it’s actually supposed to be for but that’s just how I would use it.

Ok well that’s enough of that I don’t really know a ton about that kind of stuff so I’m going to stop before I say something really stupid.

So today I had an exam for gym and it was probably the easiest thing I have ever done. Seriously it was a breeze all of the questions were reflecting on what we did in class. There weren’t even any questions that made me think, but then I went to math to get help for my exam tomorrow. That was actually fun, I know it doesn’t sound like it but there was five other people there and all of them made it fun. Our teacher even bought us pizza when we were done studying. Today was probably the most fun I’ve had in math class ever and I actually understand how to do math now so it was a win win thing.

Anyway that’s all I have to say. Thanks for reading.

Me Cubed

Me Cubed

This is my first picture that i’ve put on here so I’m just trying this out. I think it’s a pretty decent picture I messed up a little in Photoshop but I don’t think it’s a big deal. The story behind this picture was my brother was bragging about how the photographers from his school got these cool shots where there were three of them in the same shot. I told him it was easy and I could probably do it myself. He obviously didn’t believe me so I did it and he thought it was pretty cool.

A Little Off Topic

I know that I said I wouldn’t write about my life anymore but I can’t help it I’m so excited about what happened today. Today was the last day of physics for the rest of my life! That’s right I had my physics exam today I bombed it but at least it’s over and I don’t have to worry about it anymore.

Ok now that that’s over I don’t really know what to say, I really just wanted to get that out. I am still exited for my photography class next semester but before I can get to that I have to write a math exam. That is not going to be fun. Math is probably my worst subject next to physics so its gonna be a stressful day.

Anyway that’s enough off topic stuff for one day, thanks for reading.

Brizzly Update

Ok so I have only been using Brizzly for about a day now but I think that I already like it better that the twitter web page. I’m not sure why but its just more fun to use, I also like the facebook thing it has like I mentioned a couple posts back. I think I’m going to stick with Brizzly for a week or two then I’m going to ditch it and try out Hootsuite, then ill tell you which one I like better. I know that most people don’t care what I use as a twitter app but I think it’s a fun thing to write about. I have used Hootsuite a couple times and I’m not really a huge fan but we’ll see about that later.

Thanks for reading.

Photograpy Class

I just wrote my first exam today for the first semester, it was not that bad because it was only for woodworking. This exam only made me learn that I can’t wait for the next semester, especially since my first class is photography! I’m not exactly sure what the class will be like yet so I don’t want to get to excited but I really think it will be great. The only thing that would make it suck would be if it was so easy that I could practically teach it and that is actually a possibility because when I was in grade 9 all we did was Photoshop. Yup, it’s true we learned how to use the clone stamp tool. It was so boring, it wasn’t even funny. But I think that this class will be more than just Photoshop it has to be at least a little bit about photography. My ideal photography class would be if it was studio portraits the whole time and how to light different types of portraits. I think that would be awesome and it would really make me be more creative because I’m not very good at portraits right now and that would force me to learn how to do it.

Well I have to go study for the class from hell right now which is physics, I’m serious worst class ever it shouldn’t be considered science it should be considered math. There is literally no science involved in physics at least not high school physics anyway. Well anyway I have to go try and learn a whole semesters worth of math, I mean physics in 3 hours. Thanks for reading have a good day
