aw fruit sickles, I really don't like this...
I really want to go outside and do some running too. One day and I already want to go against what I said I'd do, by staying off of my left leg as much as possible. I really thought about just running up the stairs with it... It was really tempting :P

13 June 2011
At openfield I possibly injured either the tendon or the muscle. It hurts when my left foot is in the pushing off position. So stretching it hurts it. I remember do this early on in open field as well. But, being me, I decided to keep going. I wasn't sure what it was really. I have a better idea now. I really don't want to do this, but I'll be trying to rest it till the next open field. Hopefully it'll be better by then. I really wanted to keep running too... I'll walk like I do when I start getting pain from planters fasciitis. (walking on the heel of my foot, to avoid stretching the sole of my foot. But, this also limits the stretching I do on my calf, which is the part that is hurting right now.). I really hate sticking to recovery too... heh I remember the first time I broke something. It was a hairline fracture in my big toe (very small too, around the size of a pin head). The next day I was out on a scooter, though I was being very careful. Sometimes though I've ended up in more pain by doing these types of things when injured.
Just to be safe I'll try not to even strech it by walking (that's gonna be fun :P). Looks like I might even hop down the stairs (I actually already did this once).
Man I hate it when I look injured to other people... I don't want to draw attention to myself... I find it's more fun to get people to think you're alright when you're not... Maybe that's why I don't like asking for somebody's help, when I need it.
welll, I'm done here, and with the computer for the night. Time to go/hop down the stairs :P
ok back again. I figured out that I can still feel it no matter how I walk on that foot. *sigh* looks like there's no way to not appear like I'm hurt (Hopping everywhere does look suspicious :P). I think I was able to play soccer with this because, I was being still. By being still it's now in recover mode, so it'll hurt more then it did then, (the muscles cooled down). Just a theory. even walking with my left knee bent, and one my toes, to prevent any stretching, is painful, just less then the one I suggested above. Blowing out a calf would be very bad. I don't want that, so even though I could just fight through it like I did in open field, I'm not because I didn't understand that this wasn't just from a tired muscle. Otherwise I might have thought about continuing more (though in all likelyhood I probably would've still kept going). I want to be careful with this now. So hopping it is... Darn it I really want to fight through it, like I normally do too...
back x2. heh, I refused to hop in my dad's presense. I realized I need to just deal with it, and throw away my pride. Though I don't want to admit it. I have pride in not looking injured... Time to through it out the door
I could also use my cane (yes I have a cane... I got it when I broke my toe... though I could've probably walked without it. But using that is worse then hopping, even though its much easier). I'm not going to use the cane for that reason...

plugins
I would test out a plugin I got from one of Flying_popcorn's plugins (turret.cpp), but apparently I don't have write access to the place where I need to put it. /usr/lib/bzflag. (This is a hint for you by the way). I mean I can't even change the bzflag's default textures.....
As for now I've done everything I can for it, I have two plugins to test as well. The primary interest was the fact a friend asked how to make a "messagezone". I went to mrapple, Who I know read it at least, at the time that was at least 3 hours prior (1:49 or something EDT). So I went searching, and I realized mrapples plugin was more then that, it also saved the player's position. Typing a message to the Friend who wanted this got me thinking as I wrote it. I told them how I began mapmaking. I was inspired by Flying_Popcorn's map "Flying_Popcorn's shooting gallery". It's not random that I told them this either. Flying_popcorn's map had a turrent plugin (the first of it's kind), but it didn't just involve the turrent... It also had a random flag give zones. These zones also gave the players a message in addition to the flags! That was the connection. After I sent my message I, being the really patient person I am just sat there until now and blah da blah blah blag... of course not When I got on the computer (the message was sent via cell phone) I looked at mrapples plugin, I sent him a message of the specifics of mrapple's plugin. (oh did I mention mrapple hosted for me awhile back? (>6 months ago), oook now back to the main topic... heh sorry about that...) then thinking back to my message I sent him, Ian (I'm tired of saying him :P), I looked at Flying_Popcorn's plugin. I looked at and after thinking it over I decided to try and see if I could get a messagezone out of it. I think I did too. and I didn't have to write anything :P. I also got a RandomFlagZone too, along with the messages to go along with it. Now I just need those write perms... (yeah, dad :P)... and the information from Ian, about the messages he wants, where, the size of each zone (if different sizes), and uhh... nope that was it.
Munch died yesterday. The other two ate very well today, so no worries for them right now.
On a more positive note I found my Aquarium Adventure membership card (mines a lifetime one too)
Aquarium Adventure is THE best fish store there is around here, all the sell is fish and fish products, unlike all the others around here. They also sell things the other don't always sell like discus for example. Though it's not worth the trip there just to the fish you can get at the other fish stores. They're also more expensive... But thats where the membership comes into play. I believe its 25% off of fish and 15% off of fish products, though I'm not sure since I haven't been there in awhile. They had a shark (no not one of those bala sharks that just share the shark name. Its an actual shark! Dogshark perhaps? if it is I know how to dissect one from ecology in 10th grade :P. I know they can't sell it, for legal reasons. I just added the dissection part, since it was related. I'd rather keep it then dissect it... The only thing that kept my attention on the dissection in Ecology was the fact that it's tongue was attatched, and inside of the shark's tongue. It took awhile to figure it out :P actually it was the last place we looked. Did I mention that, that shark shouldn't have been able to survive as long as it did. I mean how did it eat it's food if one part of the stomach is attached to the tongue, and the other to it's intestine? Where's the food it's eating going? My teacher said she'd never seen anything like that before. Neither had I... Well I guess that's because I've only dissected one dogshark. That one to be exact. I kinda wish I could be in that kind of class again. It was about life, unlike chemistry which was inorganic chemistry in our case. I'd rather take physics then anatomy which is why I'm taking Physics :P. plus i don't really want to be involoved in the dissection of a cat... the reasons are obvious... They use a cat because their organs are arranged very similarly to ours. You know every single organ in our body has an explaination. Like the appendix, though Its able to be taken out because its most important use comes when we're young babies. It helps prevent disease in our intestines. Our body isn't as good at when we're babies and that's where the appendix comes in. Helping our bodies to fight off infection. Which our body becomes very good at in our twenties. In 1918 The Spanish Flu (H1N1 just like the swine flu in it's classification) killed around 50 million people. Most of the deaths occured in the second wave. It's actually debated where this flu originated, some say spain, other in the USA.
ok, neat fact!
did you know The H in H1N1 stands for hemogluttin, while the N stands for Nuerominidase (spelling?). I looked it up once... uh don't tell *looks around to make sure no one's watching; whispers, but it was at school during study hall. :P hehe
Did you know that there's a virus that actually hijacks another virus? I'm not joking either. A small virus infects a virus known as the mamavirus (no joke), which infects amoebas. Once the mamavirus starts to replicate inside, the smaller virus' RNA hijacks the process which creates these small viruses inside the mamaviruses. here's the wiki page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sputnik_virophage
I learned this when I did an article for Ecology in 10th grade. Once I read about this "Virophage" I couldn't pass it up. It was just too cool :P. Oh I just learned by reading the wiki page they discovered two more "Virophages".
If you don't read the comics you should read this one. Well I like it anyway http://www.uclick.com/client/azc/ft/
Oh, wow, I've gotten off topic... Oh well, random makes it more interesting :D

mini golf
Today my dad and I went mini-golfing, I actually won, for once. The wet greens worked in my favor.
though if you look at my strokes, it looks a bit strange...
3-3-4-3-3-3-3-3-3-2-2-3-2-2-2-4-2-3 lots of 3s, and 2s in that...
and after that I went to the driving range, I seem to have gotten worse, and I can definetely mark golf off as a day job, and as my dad says "as a hobby as well". Since I probably swung the golf club at least 3 times as many balls that I had. (I missed them... A lot... did I say a lot already?...) Early on I got a cut on my left hand, but I kept going, because I was going to finish it one way or another. I also got a blister, which later popped with around 10 balls left... and my dad just got to sit back and watch the entertainment lol
these are pictures of the golf course, for the most part. Except the first one, which was after I ran 5 and most of 6 laps in 11 minutes 20 seconds... I was tired, can you tell (note picture was setup, but definetely shows how tired I felt. ;) )
I had calculated one mile equaled 5.13 laps, though my dad's gps in his phone, showed that I was a little bit off, since it only take 4 laps to equal one mile... whoops... that a big error percentage hehe.
Yes, a world record was set at this place!
oh my dad added this to the place...
E^(pie * i)+1=0...
I can see it now...
me: Officer I don't know him.
Officer: are you sure?
me: Yeah, I've never seen him before in my life, Really!
Officer: right, that's why he called you son
me: He uh... was refering to my sunny nature *smiles cheesidly
.... continues on
ok I wouldn't lie to the authorities, but you get the picture here :P

I was so focused on Phoenix this whole, time I didn't check to see how mystery was doing. Strange, he's dying, and it's too late, enough energy to live, but not to catch anything. Strange since I saw him eat something yesterday. His death will always be a "Mystery" in my eyes. (He'll most likely die before tomorrow comes, which since it's 9:58, isn't too long)...
Phoenix has eaten something, that I can be sure, but he's really skinny, which is worrisome, he's not even close to being out of the woods yet. He's the last Mantid alive from the first eggsack that hatched, that I possess. Hatchet is a level two mantid now.

Sermon, sharing, life
What to do with what we have been given. (as a side note, unlike the past two entries this one, wasn't written down, I've just known the subject I was going to be writting about. The rest is off the top of my head, so it probably won't be as good as the other two). We as Christians have been given the keys to heaven. Some keep it to themselves while others share it. What should we do with it? We should certainly share it!
Matthew 25:14-30
from: biblegateway http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew+25%3A14-30&version=NIV
What does this mean? The servent who didn't bring back anything extra was punished! while the servants who gained more were rewarded! God wants us to take what he gives us, and bring back more! He wants us not to bury ourselves, but risk ourselves and bring in more. He wants us to share it!
In light of this let's visit another one. using the above conclusion
Matthew 14:13-21
A little goes a long way. It's kinda of like our faith, we don't think we can make a differance, but by sharing it to others, who then in turn share it to someone else we can end up "feeding" a lot more people then we could have ever done alone. Only by God can this happen. All this could result from sharing instead of telling them to go find their own way, but if we share you could change their lives, and in turn you could be affecting more then you imagine. Amazing, absolutely amazing.
also Rich Nathan did a great sermon on "Women can't serve as senior pastors, can they?" which the answer is a resounding yes they can serve as senior pastors. The background to the verse in question, really clears it up (1 Timothy 2:9-15). It's refering to the woman of the time, who where challenging the teachers, while they were teaching. Paul's merely telling them that they shouldn't be doing this, instead they should be respectful. 2 Timothy 2:14 is telling the women to not be like Eve and decieve people by spreading falsehood. 2 Timothy 2:15 is telling the women not to abort but rather to stick with their pregnancies. (gee sounds like a problem today!)... I can see how some people misinterpreted this, but yet I can't. It seems ridiculous once you learn about it's background.
Phoenix still lives for now. Ideal, and Munch molted, which makes them both Level 2 mantids. I don't see anything wrong with them either. Today I also got 6 neon tetras, 2 albino bronze corys, 2 Argentine Swords (plant), and one water wysteria (plant). All of which are now in the 55 gallon tank. I love neon tetras, they look so neat.
Matthew 25:14-30
from: biblegateway http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew+25%3A14-30&version=NIV
“Again, it will be like a man going on a journey, who called his servants and entrusted his wealth to them. 15 To one he gave five bags of gold, to another two bags, and to another one bag,[a] each according to his ability. Then he went on his journey. 16 The man who had received five bags of gold went at once and put his money to work and gained five bags more. 17 So also, the one with two bags of gold gained two more. 18 But the man who had received one bag went off, dug a hole in the ground and hid his master’s money.
"
19 “After a long time the master of those servants returned and settled accounts with them. 20 The man who had received five bags of gold brought the other five. ‘Master,’ he said, ‘you entrusted me with five bags of gold. See, I have gained five more.’
21 “His master replied, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master’s happiness!’
22 “The man with two bags of gold also came. ‘Master,’ he said, ‘you entrusted me with two bags of gold; see, I have gained two more.’
23 “His master replied, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master’s happiness!’
24 “Then the man who had received one bag of gold came. ‘Master,’ he said, ‘I knew that you are a hard man, harvesting where you have not sown and gathering where you have not scattered seed. 25 So I was afraid and went out and hid your gold in the ground. See, here is what belongs to you.’
26 “His master replied, ‘You wicked, lazy servant! So you knew that I harvest where I have not sown and gather where I have not scattered seed? 27 Well then, you should have put my money on deposit with the bankers, so that when I returned I would have received it back with interest.
28 “‘So take the bag of gold from him and give it to the one who has ten bags. 29 For whoever has will be given more, and they will have an abundance. Whoever does not have, even what they have will be taken from them. 30 And throw that worthless servant outside, into the darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’"
What does this mean? The servent who didn't bring back anything extra was punished! while the servants who gained more were rewarded! God wants us to take what he gives us, and bring back more! He wants us not to bury ourselves, but risk ourselves and bring in more. He wants us to share it!
In light of this let's visit another one. using the above conclusion
Matthew 14:13-21
(13) When Jesus heard what had happened, he withdrew by boat privately to a solitary place. Hearing of this, the crowds followed him on foot from the towns. (14) When Jesus landed and saw a large crowd, he had compassion on them and healed their sick.
(15) As evening approached, the disciples came to him and said, "This is a remote place, and it's getting late. Send the crowds away so they can go to the villages and buy themselves some food"
(16) Jesus replied, "They do not need to go away. You give them something to eat."
(17) "We have only five loaves if bread and two fish," they answered.
(18) "Bring them here to me," he said.
(19) And he directed the people to sit down on the grass. Taking the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to heaven, he gave thanks and broke the loaves. Then he gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the people. (20) They all ate and were satisfied, and the disciples picked up twelve basketfuls of broken pieces that were left over. (21) The number of those who ate were about five thousand men, besides women and children.
A little goes a long way.
