It may have seem like decades since I last posted, but trust me it's been a slow month. What with being stationary since January, there really hasn't been anything too eventful but school. Honestly it just makes me appreciate the things I was able to do every day even more and not want to live out a sedentary lifestyle. At this point I definitely miss my runs, it's been approximately a whole month since the last one and my body is completely feeling the repercussions. I can't wait to get back on the track, no roads for me for a long time no doubt. Oh, and playing basketball. I for sure want to get back on that. And playing guitar, it's hard to pluck the strings with a dead thumbnail. Yeah I'm pretty much a couch potato since then, but things are looking up! I'm making a good recovery and couldn't ask for anything more.
For the year of 2013 one of the little things I promised myself is that I'd shoot way more than I used to. My pact was a roll a month and I intend to do that. I know I've been slacking since the last one, but since it's been a bit uneventful for February, I rarely took it out unless I got a lucky break and got to spend time with friends. I promise I'll get to it, I have a roll waiting to get developed. Really the majority of my focuses have been around academics, which is slightly kicking my butt, however either way this really is a reality call for me to channel my energy on productivity even though there's no outlet for my stresses. Guess you could say that at this point in your life you learn more about your habits and what works best for you, better now then when it's a do or die situation. Right? I'm just excited to be able to do all the things I want once I'm no longer chained down, you know? But until then I'm just continuing the positive vibes and staying productive at best I can.
On another note I pretty much got all the sneakers that I was unable to get for myself for the past years. To be completely honest I don't think I have a bad spending habit at all. I'm definitely not a sporadic or impulsive buyer, I'm one of those lie in wait kind of guys. I'm a firm believer in "good things come to those who wait," and "if it's not meant to be, then it's not meant to be." I mean you could apply those philosophies in life because they are true. But yeah, I prefer to plan out what I buy, purchase in bursts and like to save up more than I spend instead of the other way around. Plus I'm usually that guy who goes out to buy something with a mission, take a couple friends and come out with nothing while they leave with a bunch of bags in their hands. I don't know, some people call me frugal, but I get it from my parents and hey, we're pretty comfortable where we are and I think I'd prefer to be a bit practical. Plus I justify my buys! The past shoes I bought for myself were for separate celebratory occasions:
- My birthday.
- Passing my first Cell and Molecular Biology midterm.
- And now for my second C&B midterm coming up.
I really should quit rambling but long story short I was looking forward to getting a pair of Flyknits for myself when they dropped. Drove out Stanford with my homie, Ian, tried on an alternative colorway pair in my size, didn't have the cash for it, ended up disappointed and had them sell out on Nike while I waited. Then the Royal 1's re-released, decided to give it a shot as an alternative, woke up early to buy out online, ended up getting flaked on the release and missing out everywhere else. Then I decided that the Flyknit Lunar 1+ was a good enough alternative, so I scrounge some extra cash, drive out to the mall with my bro, Ronnie, end up having no sizes left, while he gets a sick steal on some Warrior's shorts, and leave again with nothing on hand, bummed out.
Then here comes today and I'm ordering the pair that I previously believed would be near impossible to procure. So shout-out to my best friend Ian for the heads up. This guy's always been looking out for me since we were like 3. We've been best friends since we were toddlers and even after moving to another city and now out to college we're still holding down. I can't get rid of him. But jokingly aside I don't know where I'd be with this guy (yeah dude I admit it). Sometimes I don't think I can make things up to him, but I do what I can. So huge shout-out and props to him. You swore I'd have my day, and this dog definitely had his.
