I think he’s out to take away my life.  These questions are due tomorrow, and I reeeaally don’t feel like doing them.  Blah.  Well today has been, quite roller coaster like.  I took my make-up vocab quiz in history and ended up getting a 78 on it, but it doesn’t matter because I still got the A for the quarter!  Oh I was so happy!  Only two more quarters to go and I haaaave to keep my grades up.  Mmm I believe I can do it.  Always have to think positive in order to be positive :]  Speaking of being positive, it’s a real downer when someone is such a pessimistic.  I mean they are so difficult to deal with sometimes.  You always feel like you’re walking on ice when you are having, or trying to have a nice conversation with them.  Another flaw I can’t stand in a person is when he or she acts like someone else just because they are hanging with a different group of people.  I’m not going to mention any names, but it tends to really frustrate me.  Hmmm, ok well I really need to go finish my lovely amount of homework.  Good stuff.

The sun is scorching,
You can feel it beating on your back
As you stay in stride with the horse’s steps.
You and the horse are one,
Giving him the signals, as he signals you.
How does he communicate if he cannot talk?
Simply swooshes his tail
And speaks with his fuzzy ears.
They move like radars, just listening.

You see a bunny bounce in and out of
Sight, throughout the golden ocean of weeds.
Watching horses jumping over the jumps is like
Watching the cow jumping over the moon.
So peaceful. So flowing.
Never wanting to peel your eyes away
From watching the majestic scene.

The hot ride is over.
The sweat gluing your jods to your legs.
Lifting the saturated saddle pad off of
The long worked horse’s back,
It feels as though lifting a million pounds.
Since it’s too hot to brush,
And the flies are horrific,
You unravel the hose and treat
Him to an ultimately refreshing shower.
In the relieving process, as he shakes his body
The water flies, as though from a fountain,
And you are now squeak clean yourself!

Is a horse! I couldn’t tell you HOW many years I have wanted my own horse… I have been riding for 7 years, and don’t get me wrong I love to ride any horse, but I really would like to just have my own. If I had my own, I would be able to decide its name, I would be able to use anything I wanted on it, I would be able to ride it whenever I want. Oh it would be absolutely lovely. I definitely will have my own companion of a horse one day, I just don’t foresee it being soon. That’s ok though. I’ll just have to work, and work hard for it. Someday I plan on having my own entire barn of horses trained by me, and perhaps even have the business of a disability program. I think it’s amazing the programs they have for the handicap and mentally challenged. It brings out so much in them. Horses are such amazing creatures. People say that I must have been one in my past life, haha. They pretty much are my obsession. No, not pretty much. They ARE my obsession :]

Forrest Gump is the best/saddest movie ever. I just watched it this weekend, and I cried at the end. Oh it was so sad! Not to mention the woman was a whore… But nobody deserves to die, really. It was such an amazing story, how this mentally challenged man conquered so much, aside from his mental handicap. Best line ever, “I may not be a smart man, but I know what love is.” It was so unbelievably touching. Being that my one brother, and the one who will be arriving next year are both mentally challenged, the movie really meant a lot to me. I thought it was great how they made a movie about these people who are ridiculed each and every day, and made this man into a memorable hero. These are the movies that should be made more often. I think I am going to watch Rain Man tonight. Yeah, with Devin. Sounds good. Oh and I’m going to visit Mom today, too. The earliest she is coming back is Thursday, so hopefully she will come home then. Alrighty, Good day.

It’s been crazy, chaotic, balmy, bananas, batty, crackbrained, cracked, crazed, crazy, cuckoo, daffy, daft, demented, deranged, loco, loony, lunatic, mad, maniacal, mental, moonstruck, nuts, nutty, screwy, unbalanced, unsound, and wacky.  Yeah, you get it.  Mom went in for her surgery Friday, and more needed to be done than expected.  So now she will be on bed rest longer than expected.  They also had to take her appendix out.  Oi vey.  When I go to visit her, it upsets me a little just seeing how she is, but I know she’s on her way to a good recovery.  And with five kids in the house, and only one parent to cope with the responsibility, things tend to get a little crazy.  Meema and Aunt Sara are good helping hands though.  Oh and I forgot to mention, all the kids are sick, which makes everything ten times better :]

My soon to be boss stillll hasn’t gotten back to me yet, and I have been expecting a phone call since Monday.  It’s now almost Sunday.  Almost a whole week after.  Oh well.  I found out today that I did make high honor roll first quarter which made me quite happy.  Now all I have to do is keep it up … blehk. OK.  I’m going to go read some and perhaps defeat some laundry.  I will conquer the mountain!
