Well... I don't really have anything to get off my chest. I'm a pretty open guy and I don't keep much bottled up.

 I feel pretty sick today so I may not be at class tomorrow. If not, thanks Nelson for a class that made me think, but not in a bad way. Thanks to all the writers who wrote stuff that was way better than I could dream of doing. Sorry I didn't comment or write more. 

Thanks,

I Remember

I remember when my 2nd grade teacher put unsatisfactory under penmanship on my report card.

I remember in 3rd grade, I crashed on my bike and scratched up my face really bad. My teacher told the class I wasn't wearing a helmet. I was wearing a helmet.

I remember playing football in the backyard with my dad.

Or when I had to run down to the park and grab sand when I got in trouble.

I remember how stoked I was when I found Pokemon Pearl in my Christmas Stocking. 

I remember saying Bon Jovi was my favorite band, because it was my dad's favorite band.

And the color purple.

I remember when the Lakers were a respectable team.

I remember when I used to go to my neighbor Parsa's house after school every day and play basketball. His mom made unreal chicken kabob.

I remember crying while reading where the red fern grows. 

And the bridge to teribithia(sp?)

I remember accidentally breaking Chase's hand while playing basketball. His dad said he wasn't allowed to play with me anymore.

I remember waiting until 3 in the morning to hear if my dog was gonna live. (She did)

I remember playing kick the can in my neighborhood.

So, yeah.

I like your pen name even though I don't know what it means. It has a nice flow to it. 

I like how real you are in your posts. It's hard to truly put yourself out there for others to read.

I like how you talk about enjoying every moment that we have. Way too often I find myself living in the past or the future and forgetting to treasure each moment. 

Some of my favorite quotes:

"I wish I loved more like Farr loves Flood"

"I wish I could write poems so well that Nelson would grunt after every line"

"I felt alone yet I was surrounded by so many people"

"I'll be honest though, hearing such good words from other people kinda frustrates me because I want to be able to do that and get the mmm and uhhh from the crowd..."

"I really enjoy writing but I wish I was better at it and could write my thoughts down the way they are in my head"

"I've played soccer my whole life and I am going to miss it the day I stop playing"

"One of my favorite things to do is have deep conversations with people. I love to listen to people and what they have to say. I could talk for hours with someone about anything"

"I'm scared to graduate because I don't want to lose my friends"

"I'm scared to share my writing in class"

"I'm scared to reveal myself but I'm going to anyways"

Some of my favorite posts of yours:

So thanks Cheyenne, I really enjoyed reading your blog.

Reveal

I didn't imagine it going like this. I thought I would have these deep, inspiring posts and make it onto top 5 etc etc. That hope turned into too many late night Sunday posts, and I work better in the morning. Too many posts I was proud of, but hit delete instead of publish. I can't help feeling like I messed up an opportunity. Maybe I just wasn't ready to stop being a tourist. 

Ok so onto that reveal business:

•I didn't know how to tie a tie until I was 16

•My mom called me Pooh Bear until I was like 9

•I firmly believe the song Scream in High School Musical 3 is an acceptable pump up song.

•A lot of times I'm quiet around people I don't know very well(it's not because I don't like you, I just don't know what to say)

•I once tried going down the alpine bike jump but I crashed 3/4 of the way down the trail

•I thought my pen name was a good idea until I realized nobody knew who he was and I kept forgetting how to spell it

•Mario Party all-nighters are a blast until you run out of Dr. Pepper 

•I play lacrosse

•I love cheesy sports movies

•I play guitar

•At the moment, I don't have enough credits scheduled to graduate high school(Don't worry I'm working on it)

•I have no idea what I want to major in

•I moved to Utah last year from San Clemente, California 

•And I still don't know how to end things

Music

I honestly couldn't go a day without listening or playing music. So idk I'm just gonna list some songs off the top of my head: 

Love Yourself- Justin Bieber

Scars-James Bay

Comeback Kid- Brett Dennen

What Do You Mean(Acoustic)- Justin Bieber

Man In The Mirror- Wing

Sorry guys this is a really weak list

Because

The ultimate excuse in the ever supplied answer. "Why did you and your head through the wall?" "Because". A staple of most sentences, it may be the most used word in the English language. Which is a little sad compared to other more deserving can that's like love, thanks, please, know. Because is overused. We simply explain to much. We should never have to say I love you because...  

Actions speak louder than words, people. How about instead of telling somebody something, show them. It says a lot more.

Because of you I never strayed too far from the sidewalk- Kelly Clarkson
