Today is Wednesday. Not Sunday, I know and I'm sorry. I wanted to post then but we got home kinda late, and I don't know I guess I just didn't have it in me :/ . Anyway, Saturday was the SD state cross country meet, held in Sioux Falls. Our team drove down there (a three hour trip), on Friday, stayed the night, ran on Saturday, and then came home. Except for me, because I went home with my family, cause we had some family thing to go to on Sunday. So yeah. The meet itself didn't go to badly I suppose, I didn't run my best race, but it wasn't my slowest either so not too bad. However! I didn't think I did that good, cause the course was relativity flat, and I ran a 20:17. My best time, on a course that was insanely hilly, was a 19:54. Figure that one out. Oh and it doesn't help either that when you get done running, you find out your time, and your mad at yourself, and then people say "At least you did your best!" *enter fake smile and reassuring pat on the back!*. Those six words (yes I counted them :P), are basic athletic code for "We all know that you didn't do real well, but we don't want to tell you that cause you all ready feel bad, so we'll just make up something on the go that could work to make you feel better....but probably not". How 'bout a list of things that people say that are completely useless?
#1. After you fall someone says "Careful". Thanks Dr. No-brainer! It would have been useful like, oh I don't know, before I fell!
#2. "It's gotta be here somewhere!" That sentence is useless people! Of course its somewhere, where else would it be?
#3. "There's no time like the present." You must be joking? Since we're in the present, and a second ahead would be the future, and a second behind would be the past....I'm no genius or anything but I believe....That that would be the time right now! Duh! There won't be time like the present cause soon it'll be the past.
#4 "You scared me half to death!" Did I now? Hmm, let me check my notes here, give me a minute....Ah here it is; So far in your life, I have heard you say that 50+ times. After the first time, you would only have half a life left (not that you had a life in the first place :D), second time comes and you would have a fourth and so on. I won't even began to do the full amount of math.
Okay so those were four things that I find kind of useless. I apologize if you use any of those, I know some people who do and I may or may not be poking fun at their awesome selves... But yeah, nothing else is really happening that's cool. Oh back to the meet real quick I got 78th place out of 116, and our team got 8th out of 16 teams. I suppose it wasn't too bad. At least we did our best, right?
Anyway that's all that's possibly cool, maybe boring, that's happening in me life, and I will post again soon.

Haha, I like #1! Ever heard the Tim Hawkins routine on that one?
ReplyDelete#2 does make sense though - "HERE somewhere" is very different than just "somewhere". And I do find that sometimes saying the former thing brings long-lost items out of the woodwork. Occasionally.
:decides to swear off using the other three phrases:
Haha yeah I have but I tried not to steal too much from him :P Hmm yeah I guess I wrote that wrong. Both aren't that correct though in my oppinion
