Tuesday, April 20, 2003 time: 4:50pm Post #22 Happy Easter Everyone! Sorry I haven’t been here in a while, I've been kind of busy doing normal stuff. We joined 24 hour fitness, which is cool, we go there and play pickle ball and stuff. I also got back from California, which I actually don’t really like all that much. I like Seattle, and I don’t like really hot weather. Katie and I are becoming really good friends, and I love it. Dating sucks, the more I think about it, the more I realize how dumb it is. Running is going great. I find that I enjoy everything much more when I stay active. Basically do anything but get home from school and spend like 341231 hours in front of my computer talking to all of you. well, have a good night! ~Steve Tuesday, April 1, 2003 time: 9:49pm Post #21 Hello, Today was a fun day. I just got back from a surprise birthday party for Kim Phelps, a youth leader of mine. he turned the big five oh today. So we got him stupid presents, including an enema kit. I gave him balls. You know, something to play with in his free time. Track has been tough these last few days. My legs haven’t had a chance to rest, so I'm feeling tired. I told Anna I though she was hot today, and it hit me that she’s a cool girl as well. Anyway, We played a practical joke on Shawn, and I think he appreciated it. and it was fun for us. Well I’m going to finish downloading some music, then go to bed. So have a good night everyone. ~Steve Friday, March 28, 2003 time: 10:47pm Post #20 Wow, I love life. I cant deny it. I got out of my rut, and I owe it to god. My quiet time each morning is crazy good. Lets see, I had a track meet, which went really well. I got second in the mile, but I ran a 4:31, so I’m happy. That’s only 6 seconds on the school record! I won the 800 with 2:03, and my 4x400 team got second. Today for practice we only ran 3 miles, so I’m happy. That may seem like a lot, but its really not when your at an easy pace. I just got back from traxx. Dang that place is fun, and it gave me a double racing high, between running and driving, I’m so pumped! I have had a lot of fun lately with Katie bozo. Its sweet doing this not dating stuff, no worries. But that stuff can be contained with God's help. I have come to the conclusion that optimism is one of the most important traits to have. It's amazing how much that can do for you. If something isn’t going the way you like, its nice to know that God has a plan, and will do everything for you. You will not be tempted with more than you can handle. You know what, I’m so excited to find my future wife god has for me. That will be a great day... dang.... Got to be patient, I want life to move faster, to go to college, meet that special someone, and that’s about it. I haven’t thought about kids much, and I bet that’s a good thing. I have been trying to download this jars of clay CD for a while, but the (get ready for some basic computer nerd talk) bot on irc keeps netspliting, or switching its order around, makes it hard to get that right command! And the thing is, the irc version is a really nicely done rip of the CD, while kazza stuff was made by freaking donkeys. (end of nerd talk). did you guys know I do all this stuff in a WordPad kind of thing, you don’t see all the code and stuff, and you probably don’t care unless your Greg Irwin. I need to get caught up on my Cisco stuff, cause the quarter is ending in about 5 days or something like that. I’m really enjoying Tech draw right now. I think its cause my grade in there is a 99.9%. Its funny, I had all this extra credit, but I lost daily points for playing pinball. I like that pinball game. You have it if your not on a Mac (sorry Marty). My high score is 6,500,000, or something close to that. But back to things that have some meaning to it... I have a meet tomorrow in Yakima. Its only like a relay meet, but I feel like I have some pressure this year in track, like what I do reflects onto the team. I just hope God gives me the strength to be a good example for him. I have fun talking to annika online, I don’t know what it is, its like... we can talk about lots of stuff, but not a lot of stuff. She makes me laugh online, which I value, but I don’t feel like I really can talk to her in person, I don’t know what it is. Oh, I know what it is! its me being a loser!! duh... anyone could have told me that (Marty). Well it seems that I’m running out of gibberish to babble on about. I hope that everyone has a good night, and a great weekend! Good luck Steve for tomorrow :D. ~Steve Tuesday, March 25, 2003 time: 4:44pm Post #19 Sorry, its been a while. Right now my life has been pretty basic, not a whole lot is happening. Finally got my English web page done, then Doug and I did a presentation on it. If you want to check it out the website is http://www.geocities.com/einsteinds. Anyway, Track is going pretty well. Today was a hard workout, and I felt really out of breath for the first time this season. Then coach told me that tomorrow is the endurance work out. hahah, I’m going to die. In chemistry I changed lab groups. Finally, as much as I love yah Marty, my grade needs help in the class. No more 23 points total on the unit for me! so Nate Hadley and I are teaming up to get work done. I guess I made Kelsey mad, cause I was kind of a jerk about it, and I feel bad. I should apologize. I have also been a jerk to keely. You see, I don’t see what I’m doing wrong, cause I’m just joking, but I have to realize that everyone isn’t thinking what I am all the time. I started my quiet time up again every morn, which should help me get out of this rut I’m in. As for the women folk in my life, not a whole lot has changed. I would still say annika is who I like, but I’m just feeling ehh about the whole thing. At least I’m sticking to my no dating policy. Speaking of that, my new policy is to read a psalm every day for the rest of my life. and if I skip a day, then I read 2 to make up for it. My dad can do it, so I know I can. Please pray for me to get some joy back in my life, cause right now I feel like I’m missing it. I need ciy or something like that. I’m so excited. Thanks to all you guys who have been there for me, even though I’m too prideful to ask for help. I really means a lot to me. Well I hope everyone here has an excellent night, and gets sleep, and does their homework (including me). Bye! ~Steve Tuesday, March 18, 2003 time: 5:35pm Post #18 Today was a boring day. Not much happened and I’m feeling really tired. Yester day track went really well, cause I ran a 4:44 mile, which is a great start of the year for me. I’m excited for college, its going to be fun. Too far away though. I think annika thinks I’m creepy, and I feel bad cause of it. So tired.... I think I’m going to take a nap. ~Steve Saturday, March 15, 2003 time: 1:25am Post #17 Well its freaking 1:25 in the morning! LAN parties are fun, and I have like 12 computers in my family room, its insane. Lauren came over to chill, and she ended up playing until like 30 mins ago. She was gotten all into it, yelling at people who killed her and stuff. It was really fun to watch. Thinks with annika and I have settled a bit, now that we have gotten to know each other. I guess I thought I just wanted to date her, but now I've realized that that’s not what I really want at all. Its just not as fun. Too much to worry about, so I’m just going to take it easy, blah, blah, blah. I’m starting to fall asleep, plus I drank pop, which sucks, cause it hurts my running. I passed My Cisco test today with a 72%, and all I did was look over the study guide for like 10 mins. Mr. low was thinking of coming to this LAN, but he doesn’t have a computer that works. So many people here, so few thoughts in my head. Someday ill meet my future wife that god will hopefully provide for me. Dang, that will be a good day, but until then I just got to try to have fun, with out picking up any extra "baggage". Have a great night, morning, and day everyone! ~Steve Tuesday, March 11, 2003 time: 4:57pm Post #16 Dude, I just saw this episode of Maury, and this guy came out with a cigar and it was really cool. Anyway, not much has changed sense Sunday, but of course a few things. Track is going well, its fun to have Rebel up with me in the middle distance, we have fun. Annika is so incredibly beautiful, but I think I’m scaring her. I totally look forward to track so I can see her. Plus I talked to her online, and she made me actually laugh while sitting at my computer. I think I have enough confidence to talk to her in person, I’m such a weenie. But sense I have decided to not have a girlfriend until the end of high school, things should be for just fun. Well I’m going to go, watch TV, or something, I don’t know, have a good night! ~Steve Sunday, March 09, 2003 time: 4:11pm Post #15 Good afternoon everyone! its been a while. MY life has been going good. Not necessarily great, but still good. Track started on my birthday (march 3rd). It's doing fairly well, and I’m a captain this year, which is cool. Not much else to say about that. As for the women folk, not much to say. Annika is doing track, and she’s really pretty, and cool from what I know from us talking a little. She has a boyfriend, but that doesn’t matter to me. I’m sick of dating. It's kind of lost its excitement. So I figure, the more I date, the less exciting it will get. So when I get married, I wont feel like I truly want to. When I get married, I want to be so into the girl, so absolutely in love. I’m just worried I guess. So no dating for me. Katie and I have gotten to be much better friends since we started hanging out a bit more. She’s a strange one ;), but I just have to be careful I don’t hurt myself like I have done in the past. And keely is cool, she’s just totally loaded with personality, it just draws you in. I’m feeling kind of tired, and I’m dreading have to do a work out on Monday. Have a good weekend everyone! ~Steve Saturday, February 22, 2003 time: 4:50pm Post #14 Just got back from my run. I am so exhausted cause I have been doing all this stuff with friends lately. That LAN party I was talking about went really well. Not as many people as I was expecting, but I can live with that. We played a ton of games and had a lot of fun. Stayed up till 6:00 in the morning. Went to bed, then woke up at noon. The went to the movie night at church, which was fun as well. We watched Sandlot and Gooiness. Both were good movies. We played a game in between involving running as fast as you can. So now I’m sore and stuff. The 3 miles I ran today were slow miles. After the movies, we went to mike's house to spend the night. that was fun, cause we blew stuff up kind of. Now I’m back at home, doing laundry and making matt J's CD. It's a good one, and I put in an extra track ;). Well I’m off, enjoy the rest of your weekend! ~Steve Thursday, February 20, 2003 time: 12:03am Post #13 Wow, It sure has been along time sense I have done anything like posting on this site. I’m sorry to anyone who reads this and has been disappointed. I have kind of slacked on all the web stuff I have been doing, now that the class is over. I will try to be more consistent. My life has been very crazy these past few weeks. Hillary and I are over now, but that’s more personal information that I cant share with all of you. Sorry ;). Its really late at night, but I’m kind of full of energy right now, so I’m just going to type till I get tired. yesterday in a chat room, ___#1 called ___#2 fat. It made me really mad, and I got pissed. I fought for ___#2 then ___#1 got mad at me. I really don’t care, cause ___#1 can be a jerk some times. ___#1 said "I cant help it!"... I don’t buy that. Everyone can change if they really want to. That’s just my opinion. And cause this is my journal, every thing I do here can be my opinion :). Yocum is doing a great job at youth group. I feel that many people are getting more connected that usual, which is really cool. The worship singing is getting much better as well. In the small groups all we talked about was the end of the world. I know where I’m going to be when that comes... I wont be left behind. If you want to know what I’m talking about, then ask me. Ill be glad to tell you. I got a TV in my room. It's kind of cool cause I get to watch the news at night, which makes me feel much more informed. Plus, I can watch things like Joe millionaire. I’m so glad Zorro won, she was my favorite when they got to 5 girls. But right now I’m watching Star Trek. The guy who changes shapes is totally my favorite. I wish I could change shapes. I would change my hand into a key, and go to a bank or something. I downloaded a bunch of nappy roots songs. I’m so not black, but I love hip hop. That and Techno. Nappy roots seems to put me in a good mood, like I start to raise the roof in my room and stuff. Speaking of raising the roof, I saw rebel hall at youth group. it was good to see him there. I know he’s a Christian, but I hope he comes back. I’m having a really big LAN later today. Kind of funny saying that cause its after 12. But I invited a ton of people, some I don’t even know all that well, if I even know them at all. Oh well, that’s the fun of these things. Bringing people together for a common cause: To have fun. some people just don’t understand. Oh guess what: Sorry, just thought I would let you know. I’m going to retake it, cause I know I can get a 1200. We will see, some times people do worse on their 2nd test. Only one way to find out. Well I think I’m getting tired finally. Have a good night, and I look forward to talking to you all later! ~Steve Wednesday, February 05, 2003 time: 3:25 Post #12 HAHAHA WOO HOO!!! I finally got on!! oh how great. I’m not sure it will keep working so if you don’t hear from me in a while, you’ll know why ;). This is so nice seeing this screen again. Well let me start by saying that my life is going excellent. Hillary is everything I could need, and she’s absolutely beautiful! I’m so excited to see her smile tonight! I took a day off of running today, I’m just so sore from St. Andrews hill. Ill get out tomorrow. I’m so cold, I’m going to hop in my hot tub. Ill post again soon hopefully! ~Steve Tuesday, January 22, 2003 time: 10:32am Post #11 Well, I went to go talk to the cross-country team in Morris but they weren’t there, I guess the have a field trip to Olympia today. Haha, I want to go to Olympia. Right now Hillary is the best thing in my life. Things just keep getting better and better for us. I get to see here today at youth group, so I’m excited. My computer at home had a virus or something, and t kept restarting for no reason, like every 5 minutes. I have noticed that most people have their journals on livejournal.com. Sometimes I feel left out of that loop. I cant have a friends link... even though I should... it could be like a directory! Yah, I’m going to do that! ~Steve Wednesday, January 14, 2003 time: 6:09pm Post #10 I love days off. Teachers going to protest, and students at home doing nothing. what more could you ask for? All I did today was have matt law over, and we played video games all day. Sad yes, but I’m well rested for waking up at 6:00 tomorrow! 2 Sundays ago, I asked Hillary’s dad if I could take her out, and last wed he said yes. So then that Friday, and matt Jacobs, Lauren, Hillary and I go to a movie, then to Applebee’s for dinner. The movie was fun, we went to go see catch me if you can. I liked it because it was really creative. But anyway, I drove her to her house, then asked her to be my girl friend when I dropped her off. She said yes, so the ride home bye my self was a happy one. Something really funny happened on the way home. I was going along that road on lake Stevens, and there was this car of 4 guys ahead of me. They decided to go 10 miles an hour on a 35 mph road. Well it was 12:30 at night, and I wanted to get home, so I just kind of drove behind them... annoyed. the 3 guys riding were looking back at my car laughing, so I flip on my high beams, as were going 10 mph down this lonesome road. I laughed as they all snap their heads forward holding their eyes from the light. At this point they start going even slower, but they were running out of time, because we were coming up to a T intersection. At this intersection there was a turn lane to go left, and a lane to go right. They were driving down the middle, to see what way I was going to go. I signaled to go left, then zoomed into the right lane. As the driver is faked out by my turn signal, he goes into the left lane. I rolled down my window just so I could laugh at him, as he turns left, and I turn right. Woo hoo! ~Steve Monday, January 06, 2003 time: 10:32am Post #9 Hello everyone, I know its been a while sense I have been on this and talked, but break was really busy for me. For Christmas I got a PS2, so I haven’t even turned on my computer in like the past week. You can tell from the time of my post, that I’m in web design class. So this is the first computer I have been on in a while. Christmas was a ton of fun, so much happened over the break. First and most important, I just about have a girlfriend. Her name is Hillary, and she’s really cool. Dating has been tough for me, because I never have a girl friend who shows that she cares for me. I have always felt scared that I was doing something wrong, or that she doesn’t care about me. Well Hillary is a lot different. I feel cared about, and she lets me know that she likes me, which is the best feeling. Now, I’m not going out with he yet, because I had to ask her dad for permission, and he wanted to talk to his wife(she’s has never been allowed to date). So now all I have to do is wait for the verdict. I have spent almost all of my break hanging out with the guys from my church but things have been weird latly. It seems we are breaking apart which makes me sad. I’m starting to lost my concentration on this post, so ill talk later. bye ~Steve Monday, December 23, 2002 time: 9:40pm Post #8 Some times I think I’m too self centered. I made this page, and its all about me. They teach us to be individual, which I totally agree with, but sometimes I think its more important to be more humble. In our society, we have to compete to be "successful" aka make a lot of money. But you can ask around, that people who are most happy just have the bare things you need, but they also have love. Lots of church pastors seem to be happy. I think my dad is happy, and so is my youth pastor. But maybe that’s just an outside thing. But I don’t think it is... because I have been to church events where people get so touched that they totally change forever. It's crazy! But then comes the issue of hypocrisy. Man, that’s a tough one. I am guilty as charged on that one. oh well, I think that’s the good thing about being a Christian, is it gives answers to everything. Except what to do about girls. I think is really funny how guys don’t get girls, and girls don’t get guys. We should get some kind of common understanding. Like a translator or something. Haha, could you imagine. your on a date and there is some guy translating the meaning behind the persons statements. It would be funny to hear. I should make a profession out of that. but I guess there are some things that we are not meant to understand. What would dating be like if we knew everything. Well I wouldn’t be typing this long thing, that’s for sure! Anyway, I think its time to resume my basic life, to try and achieve my not so basic purpose. ~Steve Sunday, December 22, 2002 time: 9:09pm Post #7 Freaking a, I was almost done with my entry, and then some pop up came up on my computer and freaking reset everything I did. It was such a good post too. You would have like it keely. ill try to recreate it. Girls can do so many things. its crazy. one minute you think everything is going great, but then all of a sudden, you find out that they don’t have feelings for you. wow, that’s happened to me a lot. I must be so oblivious to everything around me. Hahaha, yah, that must be it. We talked for so long on the car ride, then went to the banquet, and the n went ice skating, and nothing happened. No spark, no nothing. she look like she was having so much fun too.........wait.... I bet that’s all she wanted, was to have fun. Duh... who needs a relationship anyway. Well, maybe I do. I guess I haven’t had a good, strong girlfriend in so long, I fell empty in that area. I fell like I need to ask for advice, but what can people tell me that would help me? these past like 3 years I have just been "waiting to see what happens". I’m getting tired of it. But its not like I have any other choice. I’m not one who will go out chick hunting or anything like that. A good example is annika. I wont ever talk to her, and even if I did, we would have started our friendship, and I would immediately be looking for a relationship, which is bad news. (that was really weird, just as I typed that, she signed on aim...) I tried that with Lindsey Mitchell, and ended up just hurting myself. Its like, when ever people ask me for advice, I know that answers. But when it comes to myself, I cant even use my own advice. freaking a... ~Steve Thursday, December 19, 2002 time: 12:34pm Post #6 Well, I’m now sitting here in Cisco, and Ty is sitting next to me and we are talking about video games. Woo hoo!? Homestarrunner.com is the best site ever. Keely, you would like it. the only problem is it runs slow on slow computers... oh well, good times. Today I have to go to my physical therapy, its hard, cause my hips are so freaking weak. but I got the ultrasound, and the ultrasound machine is of ultimate sweetness. I heard that annika goes there, but I never see her. I still cant talk to her. I feel like some creepy stalker.... probably cause that’s what everyone says I am. I don’t care, she’s still really hot. I have spent a lot of time at my church lately making money for a homecoming that I have this Saturday. Its going to be fun, even though its a private school, and there is no dancing. So I have to make money, and normally that means I have to set up chairs, or take them all down. Its fun to hang out there, it makes me want to be a pastor. Last night we had our Christmas banquet. We did our talent show act which involved hitting each other with wiffle ball bats wearing funny costumes. Anyway, I’m running out of time in Cisco, which I passed 2 tests today in ;). See yah later keely, cause I think your the only one who reads this. Ill keep trying to be more nice to you. See Yah! ~Steve Tuesday, December 10, 2002 time: 10:37am Post #5 Well, Haven’t done this in a while, so I guess ill chat for a while. Last weekend I went on a church retreat with my church into the mountains. I had so much fun, its incredible. I also went for a run and ran out of o2. Oh well, it was a good morning to jog, and I was the only one at the camp who liked running, which was fun. Its always fun to do something different. At the retreat, I found out that I really don’t like Katie Boz like I used to, but I’m still going to go to her homecoming. She’s really cool, but sometimes its hard to get a convo going with her. I got to know the George twins (you guys may know abbey, cause she did XC for a while, then dropped off). Emma is really cool, and I kind of had a crush on her, but not really. I didn’t quite spend enough time with her to like her. the speaker for the retreat was Vic Alenin, the PE teacher from Harbour Pointe. He did a really good job, and he changed a lot of lives. Amazing how that stuff happens. Well now Tolo is coming up, and I have my date, Marta Zaberilla. We used to be really good friends back in Middle school, then we kind of branched after our sophomore year. Now she asked me Tolo, with a big poster. I also got a poster last year, so now I have 2 posters on my wall. I guess I’m just weird like that. I find my self spending a lot of time in my Web design class helping other people get stuff to work. its fun to help people and all, but sometimes I get tired. Maybe I just need to go to bed earlier. I had to say up late last night so I could work on a poster I had to make for Eastern, so I could do a speech on it in my English class. It took all night to do, I even went to Kinko's to print off some graphs I made. It was due yesterday, but I didn’t have it done, so I "slept in" till 4th period. But I got it done, and I think I did well, except that I said "uh" 18 times... yes, I said it enough that people started counting. Can you believe that Litz and Spady are doing like 50-60 mile weeks?! that so many... I cant even count that high, let alone run that much. I think I would break down. or get really bored of running. My training plan puts me on like 30 miles a week at the most. I’m so excited for the season to start. I was looking at times I have posted on my will in my room. They were the final 800m times for my freshman year. The 2 top guys never went slower tan 2.00. That’s crazy. The first meet of the year, and they broke 2.... that’s my goal. Woo hoo! so excited!!! P.S (I have no spell check on this, so yes, things will be spelled wrong... but I am too lazy to re read, so if something doesn’t make sense, skip it and move on. Don’t hurt your self from thinking about it too much... I’m talking to you keely...) ~Steve Sunday, November 28, 2002 time: 11:15pm Post #4 Happy Turkey Day everyone! Well the site is done, finally, now I bring it to school and upload it to the Kamiak homepage, more on that to go. Tonight online keely was talking to me, and reminded me that I’m being a jerk to her. I don’t know, I think there are a lot of factors involved in that, but lets not go there, because I’m no emo (sorry Garrett). Katie Boz unofficially asked me to her homecoming (on freaking December 21). Its really cool, because I think I like her. So now I got to get some more cash, you know how that is. My life feels incomplete. I wonder what’s wrong. I need to be reading my bible more, because then I get closer to god, and that makes be fuller. Then again, I also need to turn on my 5$ chi fountain, because that is a major plus. I guess I'm running out of things to say. Ill finish with 1) sorry keel, I don’t try to be a mean guy, and 2) Happy thanksgiving everyone! :D ~Steve Monday, November 25, 2002 time: 8:30pm Post #3 Twice in one day, wow I need a new hobby. Wait I have one, its running, but I cant because my freaking 3 weeks aren’t up yet. I hope you love spelling mistakes, because know I do. My computer almost failed, and the story is boring except for the part about my power supply blowing up. scary as the thought of being last in districts. wow. Mr. Low freaking moved us in freaking Cisco class. that’s freaking crap! oh well, I can deal with it... now I may actually have to do some work in that silly class. Have a nice night! ~Steve Monday, November 25, 2002 time: 10:40am Post #2 Well, now I’m sitting here in web design class, and I’m support to be working on my web page, that I have already done. I’m just about ready to turn it in. ~Steve Sunday, November 24, 2002 time: 5:46pm Post #1 Ah, I just got back from EWU, which was really cool. They have an indoor track, and it makes me really excited for track season so I can go for my 1:54 in the 8. I got a winter training plan from the head EWU track coach. Its tough, but I’m going to power it through. Its sweet, cause it's a workout for 800 runners, not 5k. My longest run is 5 miles :). Well the XC page is almost complete. Took a lot of work, but I had fun making it. I’m going to put it up on the Kamiak homepage soon, and that is super sweet. Frausto rules. ~Steve |
