Hey,
I'd like to talk about the 1600 meter event in a track meet, considering I just ran it today. I'm not the best at it right now, since I'm still improving as a runner, but today I ran 5:17 which is almost a Personal Record for me. I'm happy with it, and I really think I can get a lot better, considering the season is just starting.
I really enjoy running as a sport. I know that may sound ridiculous, but it is actually quite enjoyable if you get into it. Runners are great and nice people, and running is such an easy way to get into shape. :D

Preparations
Hey,
I always hate it when, a week before something big is going to happen, I start freaking out that I'm going to mess up horribly. This makes me prepare a lot, more than I realize, and it makes me a lot better at it. So in reality, freaking out is good because it gets me to prepare more for the thing, but it makes me so worried in the process. I'm not sure if it's worth it in the end. :D

Death and the Maiden
Hey,
I was just meandering around YouTube, and I remembered this song that I really, really liked, and it's called 'Death and the Maiden Quartet' and it's by Schubert. It just sounds so, I guess, Skyrim-ish that I like it so much. It has that Viking-like feel to it that makes it really fun to listen to.
I adore the Skyrim soundtrack, and this song was, I bet, some inspiration to someone who took part in the composing of Skyrim. The best part about it, though, is that it doesn't always stay in that intense part. I guess that's why it's called 'Death and the Maiden.' It sort of continuously switches between the calm and intense parts, displaying the peacefulness of the Maiden and the fury of Death. I don't know, that's just my amateur observation. :D
By the way, here's a link to the piece on YouTube

What You Cannot Change
Hey,
I love finding out new things that I hadn't heard of before. One of these things has been the Buddhist idea of non-attachment. Now, I've known that the Buddhist idea of peace is removing all worldly attachment, but I never knew how to go through with it. The idea is to realize that there are things in this world that you cannot change. You must know that you cannot change these things and be serene in accepting whatever happens.
I am one who has overly-high amounts of anxiety. With this idea, I can kind of ignore the anxiety and actually try to enjoy life a. bit more. I bet when I do this more an more, I will stop worrying nearly as much. Let's hope. :D

Memories
Hey,
I was just thinking about things that have happened to me in the past, and I realized something. Memories can be either really great or really, really terrible. You can be thinking about awards you won in the past, and that can just escalate into something horrifically embarrassing or painful.
That's the problem, but in the problem lies the solution. Memories aren't there to hurt you; they're there to make you a better person. You can use bad memories and tell yourself, "I will never do something like that again." I am always hard on myself when I remember something I did wrong, but I have to learn that nothing will come from being hard on myself. I have to pick up the pieces and put myself together as a stronger person. :D

Tanka Poem
Hey,
So a few nights ago I woke up in the middle of the night and had just thought of a poem to write that came up in my head. Here it is:
Clouds collide with sand
Producing a massive end
Greater than all time
Space collapsed dust in the wind
Where did you go? Where are you?
I know it is terrible, but this is the things that I come up with when I am half-conscious

Scheming
Hey,
I hate whenever I start to scheme. What does that mean, you ask? Well, it's when I'm brooding about something or someone that's bothering me at the moment, and when I have a lot of free time, I start to think 'how will this situation play out' and 'how can I react to the possibilities of the situation.' As I think about it, my mind and body start to feel sick, and I know why this is.
Time and time again, I hear a saying along the lines of, 'ignore bad thoughts and feed good thoughts.' You see, as I think more and more about the bad thoughts, I start to think that I'm less and less of a good person. My worries start to mount, and it's very difficult to get out of that funk. The best thing to do, then, is to not start scheming in the first place. Then, I can be happy and be much more productive. :D
