Friday, Oct. 29, 2004 - 4:38 p.m. Hi, I'm back after a long time. If you remember, last time I didn't finish typing the English assignment. =) Well, I might post it later on next week for those who are interested. I was rummaging through some files today and came across a post that I typed on the computer when the Internet was down during the summer. I think some of you might be interested in what I had to say. Hell, even I read it once over, and I usually don't do that kind of thing. Anyways, here it is. 6:24PM Tuesday, August 24, 2004. This is an entry to my blog. I'm typing it here because the Internet doesn't work for some reason. I don't get why one computer worked this morning, but now both don't. Sometimes, I swear there's a hacker just looking at what I am doing on the Internet. Wouldn't they know all your passwords, and every single thing you say to your friends on chat? Isn't that a freaky thought? Well I don't get what people would gain from hacking into other people's computers. Sure, if someone was to buy something on the INternet, then they would have gotten their credit card number or something, but it's just a waste of their own precious time! I mean you only have one life, why not do something good in it? Why not trying to make the world a better place to live for everyone? Then, you'd probably die happy too. Yeah, I know, here I am ranting about how you shouldn't do bad things for your own personal gain, and about making use of your time while you're alive when I'm just sitting here typing letters into the computer. I have a feeing this entry is going to last about an hour too. I guess I'm just trying to tell people to look in a different perspective than now, and just live life more happily. On the topic of being happy, (sigh) I bet nobody in Canada is right now. (Exaggeration, but don't take it to heart if you ARE happy and I just ruined your moment.) Anyways, me and a few million out there saw Perdita Felicien on the hurdles today, right? What a big disappiontment, right? WRONG. When I first watched the introductions of all the competitors and they called out Felicien's name, I was so phyced and jumpy all over, because I was thinking, 'Yes! Canada's finally got a chance for gold!' And my eyes were glued to the screen every single second. The announcers were screaming, the audience gasped, and her family from Pickering were teary-eyed. And me, well, honestly I was really disappointed. I mean Canada was never that good at the Olympics and we do end up winning some golds for our country every time, but this was her big chance to bring some glory to our country and she blew it. Anyways, I'm skipping to the actual race now. For those of you who don' t have a clue what I'm talking about, or just happened to miss the women's hurdles event today, Perdita Felicien of Pickering, Ontario screwed up big time. For the first few seconds, she was doing good, until she came to the first hurdle. Yeah, you guessed it. She tripped and even knocked down this other girl from Russia (?) or was it Czetch Republic (?) Whatever. Okay, some people said she was trying to keep up with the US girl in the beginning of the race, which resulted in her running too fast and tripping over the first hurdle. While some other people said that her strides were too long and ended up kicking the thing down. Well you know what? I don't really care. The people from the news were interviewing the family, and saying how they were all disappointed and crap, but you can tell they (TV people) don't actually feel her pain. I mean when I saw her crying there, laying on the track and just crying, it made me sad. Yes, the people on TV want the whole Canada to know that we didn't make a gold, but they don't have to put it in a way as to make her look like a disgrace to all the people in our country. yes, I also keep in mind that they're only doing their jobs but it just made me want to punch them in the face. Because, just sitting there and watching the news, I was really touched by this whole situation. I know how she feels. What I have experienced, wasn't actually as big as this , but I still know how she feels. Okay, imagine that you've worked really hard on something that you absolutely love doing. And then you've trained and trained and practised and practised, and you're ready for a big competition that's coming up for it. You're 100% ready, but in the first few seconds of competing, you completely blow it. Just KNOWING that you could have prevented that from happening bugs your mind all the time, and just THINKINGabout what your family is doing now, and how you've let them down is nerve wracking. You're a big disappointment. You've let everyone down. You're a disgrace. You've worked so hard, just to get this. That's how I felt.
