I have a few words to say …

THE CLASS OF 2005 WAS ROBBED AGAIN!

Tonight Sianna and I went to PCHS’s 26th Annual Songfest. I was happily surprised by tonight’s performances by all of the classes with the exception of the Freshman class. I’m sorry, but you guys sucked. The Sophomores went first. Their theme was ‘Happy Times’ and their attire resembled that of the Broadway show Rent. The first song they sang was ‘Dancing in the Street’ followed by ‘Seasons of Love’ and ended with ‘Lean on Me’. I don’t care what you say, they should have won hands down. Once again the Vice-Principal announced to everyone only the first place winner of the event. That’s the chicken way out if you ask me. When I was attending the school, they announced the winners starting with last place along with their score and ended with the first place winners. That way you knew by how much each class won by. Last year, Chris was a Freshman and we found out later that they lost to the Junior’s by ONE POINT! It was easy to see the competition was between the Seniors and the Sophomores. I think what sealed the Sophomore’s fate was the point they pulled first to perform. Oh well … I’m looking forward to next year’s show.

Something is in the air ... more on that at a later time ... hehe ...

My meds are kicking in so I’m off to bed … hope all of you are enjoying the weekend thus far …

Ugh … I forgot to give props to some people I met during the run … here goes …

Big smooches to Dave, Ron, Emma, Peej, Hammah (there’s a story behind that name … LMAO!), Matt, Ben, Alika, Curtis, AJ, Doofus, Gerald, Cray, Dev, and Kalani. Man, I hope I got everyone, and welcome to my blog!

Next venture is the Straub Women’s 10K run. I think it’s on the 3rd of March; Girl’s Day … I gotta double check on that.

I’m going back to bed … everybody is sick … again … have a great weekend if I don’t blog ya tomorrow.

Still recuperating from Monday. The Great Aloha Run came and went and I’m kinda bummed from my finish. My chip time was 2:16:27.6 and I ranked 8112 out of about almost 15000 that registered. Now, without making excuses (hehe), it would have been a better finish if two things hadn’t happened. First, into the first mile, I had the strong urge to pee. Yes, I did go before the race started … like and hour before … but up until the first mile I didn’t have the urge. The freaking line to the bathroom was 8 minutes before it was my turn. Everything went pretty smooth … I was doing good time until I started the fifth mile. It was like my toes were on fire. The shoes I was wearing were only a month and a half into breaking in and I knew I was in trouble. I stepped aside to have someone look at my feet. Sure enough, I had blisters. One of them was so bad it was starting to bleed. I had four of my toes wrapped and I went back into the race. Total time for that delay was another 15 minutes. So, I’m figuring if I found my old running shoes and ran with those, and made myself pee just before the race started, I probably would have finished around the time Chris did. His chip time was 1:34:48.2. Hey, the best part is that it was bonding time with Chris and his friends and I got my shirt! Here’s the link for anyone who wants to see the finishing times or look for people you know.

Well, it seems that Chris … who is a Sophomore … got invited to the Senior Prom the other day. He’s going and I don’t even need to rent a tuxedo for him. He already owns a really nice black one I had to buy him for concert band. All I need to rent for him are the shiny black shoes, cummerbund (he lost his), and the vest.

Last week the band booster had their meeting for everyone who is going on the Vancouver trip next month. I was kind of disappointed at the leadership of the band booster. The biggest question of the night was what would happen if we went to war while they were in Canada. All they could say was “we’ll get back to you on that”. We’ve known for how long about what was going on and what could possibly happen? I can’t believe that they don’t have some kind of plan in case something happens.

Well, this chicky is heading off to bed to continue her recuperation.

Until later …
Welcome back Angel!
