Stupid Fun

I know I'm writing this at 12: 20 AM, but I'm hoping it'll still count.

Ever done stupid things just to say you've done them? Not exactly worth it. I think I'm partially retarded due to all the things me, Zach and Jesse snorted from grade 6 to 7. Or I think I would have done better without chugging a half full bottle of Dr. Pepper having felt and saw my stomach expand before me.

Well, I decided I'll talk to you about a specific day, where me and my friend Zach wanted to do something to end the summer off nicely. Somehow I agreed and then when I had doubts, Zach assured me two Monster energy drinks. In other words, I had to.

So, we biked from Rockland to Orleans and back at around 10 PM. After buying a small bike light we thought we were ready, but as we started along the backroads I wasn't too sure. Zach made comments about noises and just the pure blackness of the night gave me chills, but then we got going and it seemed almost nice.

Long story short...
My handle bars became so loose, it was almost impossible to actually bike, we got the two monsters, somehow made it back home and when I got home I felt like I was having a heart attack. Everyone thinks I'm dumb for that, but I have to admit every time I sleep now, I can't be calm unless I can't feel/hear my heartbeat. It always feels to fast, no matter what.

Oh, and I asked my parents to take me to the doctors and I nearly passed out after my blood test.
What have we learned? Traumatizing midnight bike rides equal bad ideas.

Blogging

This is the first real blog I have ever made and in turn; my first entry.



I was skeptical at first when some of my friends told me about their own and the blogging contests they apparently have. I just do not have a clue what to write about and even if I did write a big post about something I feel really strong about, who would actually read it?

But the fact is, I'm not too sure how to use my blog. Should I submit entries related to my own personal life, like a diary? Or maybe talk about a topic I have a strong opinion about? Maybe that's why blogs are so great, they don't seem to have any rules, they're just kind of there.

I was thinking maybe I'd do little "Artist of the Month" submissions to express and share my love for music. At least that way I wouldn't feel the need to bore my friends with it all the time, it would be at their own freewill, and possibly boredom that they would come see what I have to say.

Well, I believe it is tomorrow when we start the blogging contest, apparently it's to help January be a less boring month. We're supposed to blog everyday until the end of January with the theme of bad ideas, coincidence? ... I think not.

Farewell,
Pat
