A couple of things.

1. why does everyone have off school today?
does this mean *I* get off school today.
even though she's out at the store,i can basically hear my mum saying "no."
i guess i've basically gotten off the past three school days (on my own accord, dont let anyone know ;)
but...*sigh* i dont want to...which leads me to...
2.i've lost my energy for things lately.
i'm not exactly sure this has anything to do with anything, but i just feel real tired and kind of out of it.
like yeah.
and i know.
it's probably just whatever.
but i just felt like telling you.
3. my computer is beign given up for lent.
sad, sad, sad.
i'vedecided though that i have to keep up with my 365 blog, and i will catch all the way up tomorrow, but i guess i was thinking i'd catch up every sunday, maybe on my mums computer, but preferrably on my own so i can edit them.
i'll see how it works out.
4.soccerismakingmymindexplode.
wwelll maybenot.butmostly.
5.i'm learning to play this song on piano. it's really not as complicated as it sounds. if it sounds complicated...
courtesy pianolessons. com.
thank heavens for that site.
but i think i can pretty much teach myself.
because i know how to read music (4 years of flute) i just have to associate the keys with the notes.
but also on that site they have tutorials about that kind of stuff and everything. like BAM. :)

muchlove,
naomi

I felt kinda like i'm going insane.

i dont feel particularly bad.
and dotn feel particularly good.
my head hurts, but not too bad.
the worst is being stuck inside.
i want to get out, and runrunrunrun.
cabinfevermuch?
sigherg.
i want to learn piano. sosososoooomuch.
erg.
and i feel like everything inside me is jumping all around indifferent directions. eek.
and i cant exactly get out waht i want to say.
night.

All Right I'm going To Ramble On Some More About The Super Bowl. Deal With It.

(gettyimages)

First off,

Tim Tebow's SuperBowl add was less than controversial. It was heartwarming. It was nice. It didn't even have the words "abortion" or "pro-life" in it.

Yeah, real controversial, women's rights group.

But, it seems you didn't have a problem with the commercial with Megan Fox in her bath tub? Ah, no. Of course not. Using women as sex symbols isn't demeaning to women but a heartwarming, less than controversial add from Focus on the Family (which is probably the only

reason they had a problem with it) is. Right, that makes sense and everything.

But, i suppose that using them as symbols gives women power. but what kind of power? it's not like it's power due to our intelligence or kindness or accomplishments.

it's our bodies.

no, not demeaning AT ALL.

sheesh.

i feel less than respected, and quite offended that this is what it has all come down to.

Wake up, everyone.

Numero Dos. (excuse my spanish. i know none.)

I love the after effect of the Superbowl.

Bill Simmons columns GITW! (greatest in the world. instead of the other, profane three letters)

Sportcenter!

Around the Horn!

WHAT UP!

on the other hand,

our family likes spicy stuff and that does not sit well with my stomach. i woke up with major

pains.
:P

Three.

Budweiser rocks some awesome commercials.

So does Dorritos.

Maybe a little overboard, but still.

Um, what was with the theme of underwear?

er, no.

not so much.

Four.

I wish we could have a win like the Saints did.

*sigh* maybe one day Lions...

And we'll have a parade bigger than New Orleans.

right, not likely, I know.

People can dream right?

Five.

I wanted to watch the after part, the trophy presentation and all that stuff...

but i didnt get to. -.-

six.

I have a Wayne Rooney poster. WHAT UP!

that had nothing to do with the super bowl. that's okay.

muchlove,

naomi

Tonight...

(gettyimages)

Everyone was a Saints fan. Even the Colts. Even Peyton Manning
Because what that did for the city of New Orleans, after all those years of losing and katrina and everything...(maybe the Lions will be like that one day. right). But anyhow, it's a big deal. Like major big.

Who Dat?

But I was N O T a THe Who fan. Just cause, i don't like watching old people perform. Because if you're a legend, you HAVE been. you're not NOW.so, yeah. sorry, that bugged me.

I drank too much Mountain Dew. yeeeahhhh.

BUT! i think i've figured out how to get out of my writing slump...i think? expansion onward.

and i love football. sports are bamazing. <3

muchlove,

for the Saints in particular,

naomi

Things and Flying.

I keep looking at the above picture and wishing I could fly.

And watch that movie.

I keep listening to Yiruma and wishing i could play piano.

I keep listening to him some more and wanting to write something amazing and live in Emma at the same time.

I keep thinking too hard on decisions.

I keep loving this song. sosososososomuch. like sigh. <33333

I keep thinking I'm gonna clean my room. thinking being the key word.

I keep wishing i would finish that American Lit exam. wishing again being the key word (im close though!)

I keep wanting to fly.

I keep wanting to photograph more than I do.

I keep wanting to run more than I do.

I really keep wanting to play soccer.

And I keep not living in the now.

Sorry, that's been a failish.

And

Life keeps on chugging along. I've just got to stay on the train.

with muchlove,

naomi

real stuff.

erg.

and i thought it would be easy.

to get out of my writing funk that is...

*sigh*

i'm at a loss. and i don't like it.

at all.

i.

need.

an.

idea.

im going insane over this.

i shouldnt.

but i am anyhow.

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Read Me.

Well, i decided to ceremoniously announce something.
I don;t think i'm going to play summit this season.
it's something that h a s taken many hours of sleep away, and caused quite a bit of pain. i mean, i love soccer. iloveitsososomuch.
but i realized something (and don't go all gooey and nice on me. i know what i'm saying. i dont need to be sympathized over)...
im never gonna be as good as the girls who play all year round and are much more dedicated. (and i commend them for that)
i could never do that, because it's cost effective and time consuming.
i love the sport, but i think that if i am going to spend so m u c h money and time and feeling on one thing, i think i want it to work towards my future.
i know ill never play in college. i know im not half as good as i wish i was. i know that there are other ways to play.
and plus...
i could save my money for something like a camera or books or college courses or music or evenmaybealaptop.
i think i've become quite at peace with my decision, because it's not longer giving me stomach pains.
ill find a way to play; and who knows, i may even return next season, but for N O W. ( like i said i was going to focus on) for NOW it's best that i focus on other things. that i put aside that money for the future and use my time to get to things greater. that i work towards better schoolwork and being a better person.
it wasn't a fact of love, rather what was best for me.

sheesh. that was relieving.
and to all the Summit girls, best of luck, i'll come see you one day i hope.

muchlove,
naomi
