despite my best efforts

So I suppose some form of attempt to get back into the swing of blogging is in order. It has been a little over two months since I convinced myself not to even apply to Stanford in my last post and enough has happened to provide some decent blogging material. I could talk about my soccer team and our recent state championship. I could talk about how I hung out with an old friend for the first time in months. There was an awesome concert at a terrible venue. There were scholarships and tests and bad grades and homework. There were T-shirts. There's Valentines Day. I could write about all the rain lately and attach some cosmic meaning to the movement of the raindrops on my windshield. I could talk about the reuniting of a band. A lost purse. New Years. Christmas. Collapsing Christmas trees. Personalized chess sets and their alterior meaning are certainly rant worthy. Maybe you want to hear about how I got two dispoable cameras for Christmas and after all the events and happenings since then I've taken only one picture. Of a soccer field. There wasn't even a game going on. It wasn't even a cool soccer field. I could write about Alias, golf, Halo 2, text message bills, Peter Piper Pizza, new clothes, "massage devices", newspaper pictures, futons, Honda Accords, winter break, chemistry study groups, All About Us books, foggy windows, khaki shorts, hang gliders, being a vegetarian, the immaturity of a Calc BC class, college, blood donation, being broke, lock picking, still owing money for lock picking tools, ping pong, the Super Bowl, four month anniversaries, three month anniversaries....two month anniversaries. I could cover crazy English quizzes, guitars, violins, pianos, Festivals, I-10, the pain I feel everytime someone recites a line from Napoleon Dynamite that I've heard nearly 4700 times, movies, Uno, porches, tennis racquets, Captain Morgan, the name Bryce, fish, Yavapai, GCU, ASU, clay pots, peanut M&M's, musicals, bracelets, Hemingway and Steinbeck, computer viruses, never having a full tank of gas, burritos, sweatbands, dodgeball, the Minnesota Vikings, and so on and so forth. Or I can just write about all the things that have happened since December 7 in one clever little list in one pointless moderate length post so I can catch up without having to write 500 words on every little occurance. Although that kind of is the basis of my blog....(insert shoulder shrug).
