What Is Broken Can Mend

Have you ever felt as if everything wasn't working right, like it was all broken? Well I had that experience last night and it was not a good one. My evening didn't go very well, I had a track meet that I was hoping would go well and that I would get a good throw in. Well I didn't do to hot, I ended up only throwing 46' 3" and got third place in the meet. It wasn't the fact that I got third that had me so upset, it was the fact that I performed so poorly. My goal is not to beat the competition, my goal is to beat myself and get a PR every time. I am very upset with how I have done so far this year I ended last season throwing almost 50 feet and expected this year to be well on my way to 55 feet. So far that has not happened. I am doing something to change that I have recommitted myself to eating right and doing anything I can such as push ups & sit ups to keep myself in the best condition for competing.

It wasn't only my throwing that was broken last night but also a couple of other things. When I got home I was trying to hook up my iPod to the computer but for some reason the computer couldn't recognize the USB device. I then went down to play some wii and the wi-fi connection wasn't working right. Well i found a solution for my iPod, I got new one at Best Buy. I still haven't fixed the wi-fi. It seems to me that there should be one more thing that wasn't working for me last night, but I can't put a finger on it. Anyway I just thought it was odd that it seemed like nothing was working for me last night.

Today was a little better the only thing that almost broke was my patience, as I was watching I Am Legend, which by the way is a great movie. There were a few people who weren't happy with the ending but I for one thought the ending was beautifully written. Anyway there were more than a few rude people in the theatre with me. There was almost always someone talking, many people were laughing at inappropriate times and a lot of people had to get up and leave. I am not sure which one I am more upset about, the talking or laughing, both were very annoying and made it hard to watch the movie. I didn't appreciate the laughing because they were laughing at a man who was having a breakdown after being alone for so long (kinda like "Wilson" in Castaway). The talking was almost unbearable a few times I wanted to get up and leave because I really couldn't concentrate on the movie.

I will end with some thoughts on a discussion that took place at the movies, before it started. The discussion was about being a gentleman and being ladylike, we were discussing the criteria for each. The basis for either is manners in order to be either a gentleman or act lady like you must have manners. I don't mean you have to be formal in everything you do but just have common courtesy towards other people. This is something any one should know how to do and everyone should strive to do. If someone doesn't consider you to be a gentleman or act lady like you should do your best to become one. I am amazed by how many people don't care or just automatically say that they are not either a gentleman or lady. If you have respect for yourself and respect for other than you should always strive to act like a gentleman or a lady. I can't really remember the message but this reminds me of Impact last March, I know it had something to do with what a gentleman was.

If I don't end up getting a chance to blog before christmas I would like everyone to know that I am wishing you all a Very Very Merry Christmas!!
