update

well/ well/ well /// an online friend of mine told me to use well instead of good. shes quite the adverb nut. :P ///

so i've been workin more and more with Ms. Eileen and babysitting. the little 4 yr old girl down the street. she's a cute kid and quite fun. the best thing is that they do "quiet time" for an hour a day and it's part of the time that i'm there. so i get paid to do nothing. sometimes i do the dishes during that time but that's not much and never takes more than 10 minutes.

so Ms. Eileen and i have been hangin out daily even if i don't work for her. she's such a nice lady. she's so wise and has some great stories. we go thru almost a photoalbum a day and just tell stories about the pictures. she's got a great memory for her age. i think all kids my age should be hangin out with the elderly peeps. u can just learn so many life lessons. Ms. Eileen has literally seen it all. shes been in love// shes had friends and loved ones die// shes had several jobs// she knows people// she has seen the worst in the world with the wars (her first husband died in WWII). shes just had such a wonderful life full of happiness and tragedy and shes survived it all. it's amazing and inspiring. we talk about everything -movies/ tv/ actors/ politics/ books/ music/ love/ sex/ friendship/ relationships/ trust/ honesty/// just everything.

so i've also been training a little bit of parkour stuff. i really suck but i like it so far. i can pretty much do decent length precision jumps pretty good //i mean well// but everything else i have to work on. i have been trying cat leaps but i have no grip and no upper body strength so i can't pull myself up. so i just hang on the wall and then slip and fall to the ground. my beautiful legs are all scraped up but that's what neosporin is for right? :P ne way ive been doing pushups and attempting pullups but i cant do too many of those cuz i'm not that strong yet. i'm getting there and i can do 2 underhand and 3 overhand pullups. i randomly do pushups throughout the day in sets of 25. i dont know what to do yet for the grip issue. i keep sliding and don't know what the next step is. ive been asking other traceurs and reading online but can't find an idea that will work for me. if ne one out there has any suggestions i'm all for em.

oooh, in case i forget, my next blog is about school and possibly graduating early...
