People Watching..... Everyones Favorite Sport

Hey y'all, I am about to share with you my new favorite hobby and how I spend almost my entire college career outside of the swimming pool. PEOPLE WATCHING, holy fucking fucks it is honestly the most entertaining thing to me since that one idiot got hit by the ice cream truck crip walking in the middle of traffic, if y'all haven't caught that shit i'll link it in the bottom. For those first time viewers just know, the dude lives and is featured on Tosh. But okay okay, back to the thing that everyone loves but no one will admit how much they love it cause they don't have the character to just tell everyone how much they actually love watching everyone elses life unfold before them. 

So I go to college in Stevens Point, WI. Not a huge school, but big enough that every once in awhile you will catch a new person that never has caught your eye before so it keeps the look out fresh enough. Now just for everyones discretion, people watching can turn into people judging or people envying very quickly if you let it. Although this might be the case for plenty of people and is perfectly normal, but just remember that this door swings both ways and someone could easily be looking at you thinking all sorts of imperfections that basically end in the moral of you having the face for radio or that your hair stylist and clothing stylist are both actually Hellen Keller. ALSO, note that if you are infact people watching alone and are quite oblivious with your constant eye contact you looking like a fucking creep. <---------- IMPORTANT 

So when I people watch I like to surround myself with a group of people that are semi visually appealing and who aren't completely obnoxious and oblivious 24/7, this also presents you as an easy target for you to be seen staring down every idiot walking by. Now when you do notice something that may strike you as odd or something you wanna stare at for a long period of time, please refrain from holding eye contact for anymore then 2 or 3 seconds until you are presented with another situation that allows your eyes to behold the sheer awesomeness that caught your attention in the first place. My favorite has always been catching really awkward eye contact with a girl you were just checking out, deer in the mother fucking headlights. This isn't such a big deal if you are good looking and have a chance with this girl (aka not me nor will it ever) so just keep that in mind before you eye fuck some girl and you look like Andy Milanokis. 

Now I realize that all you people out there reading this are probably thinking about how little this entry makes sense about the topic or art of people watching but honestly I can't generate thoughts well enough in a constant sense to get a full post that flows like a paper, and I am not about to take notes during the day about things I see because Weezy doesn't take notes and neither do I. So I hope everyone enjoys this little slice of people watching and my scatter brain. Go fuck yourself San Diego. 

Catch y'all later, Alex

Heinz sight isn't always 20/20.

Good evening guys, now don't worry I'm not about to open with some lame ass joke about today being the New Year. On that note though, my biggest problems with those jokes is that there are really only 5 different jokes that people put a spin on and try to make their own clever version but its really just recycled garbage that people put on Twitter or Facebook to try and get a lot of likes and act like they made it their own. But that isn't what I came here to write about. What I wanna talk about is the act of looking into the future and how I see establishing different set goals and expectations.

Goals are something that define everyone and make a life worth living, I think goals are some of the most important things that we as humans can do and really should be something everyone should have. It doesn't matter if you have 1 goal or a thousand, a goal is something that steers you towards something bigger and give your life a direction. With the New Year upon us, everyone has their "resolutions" that they tell themselves that have to be accomplished in order to consider their year a success. I don't think this is a healthy way of living a life. Setting expectations for yourself is a very thin line that people often walk, and I don't see it as a bad thing to have them. But expectations can often lead to disappointment and self doubt when you don't conquer the expectation you set yourself. Your life should never be lived in the "have to" attitude, instead "I want" is a much more realistic way of approaching a goal. Want and desire are the most important things that help to conquer a goal you set for yourself. When you put yourself in the "have to" attitude, you start leading yourself to the "What if" thoughts. "What if" thoughts create mass amounts of stress that put you in a position to fail because putting stress on your body dampers your being and is a massive set back.

No one can avoid stress forever, but a simple change in mindset is one of the biggest things a person can do to succeed in the goals they set. If you have the simple want and desire to be the person your goals say you wanna be. Then do it, don't make an excuse one day and take a day off because "it's just one day." One day leads to a week or a month and before you know it you're thinking to yourself "What if I didn't take that day off" and it leads to disappointment in yourself and that leads to self doubt when you wanna set another goal. I often times catch myself saying things that would categorize myself as a "big talker." But each day I do everything in my power to make that goal a reality. And guys I absolutely mean it when I say that when you reach an ultimate goal that you set for yourself, or even a goal that maybe you thought was going to be a struggle, the feeling is to great to put into words. My ultimate goal my freshmen year was to win conference individually, and when I put that goal behind me and won an event at conference I cried. I got out of the pool walked over to the cool down lanes sat down and cried. A self victory makes a life worth living, and thats exactly what I want this post to try and tell you. Go out there and get what you want, it is always worth it in the end.

See Y'all later, Alex

A Review of 2012.

Whats up fuckers and fuckhims, how we doing on this fine Saturday? Last one of the New Year! I come to you guys today wanting to write about the year of 2012 and how I thought it went for me and the things in our world. Don't for one second think that me voicing my opinion about the problems of our world is in any kind of disgust or looking down upon anything. I don't want to have a negative vibe given off when whoever fucking reads this is wondering what kind of person I am.

First off, the year 2012 flew by am I right? Holy shit snacks, feels like yesterday I was standing on the podium of nationals with my boys wondering if life could get any better. When I think about a review of the year I like to think about the United States as a Phoenix rising out of the ashes of its previous life being the year previous. If thats cliche then you can exit out of the page right now, won't affect me in any way, shape, or form. From the recent school shooting in NewTown or the Olympiad of 2012 having everyone yelling at their TV as we watched the best athletes in the world go out and show that for a few weeks every once and a while we can all set our problems aside and compete for the good of the human race and "World Peace" if you truly believe in that shit. HOLY SHIT I TOTALLY FORGOT WE SURVIVED AN APOCALYPSE, FUCK YOU MAYANS. Everyone knows you were getting nervous wondering if just maybe it was going to happen. I'll admit I was, god I would have been so fucking pissed if the world would have ended. (If you're thinking right now "But Alex, if you were dead how would you still be mad?" please exit my page because you have no sense of humor and we probably wouldn't get along if I ever met you.)

My year, what to say about my year. Let me just say that if you have ever gone to college and still think that high school was way cooler, please shut the fuck up. High School fucking sucks, its like being trapped in a room with only Diet Sierra Mist and reruns of old Jersey Shore episodes that if you like then you probably are in no way a help to humanity. COLLEGE FUCKING RULES. End of story, there is no argument that can be made against it. I have met the best people in the world that I will be friends with till I die and I'm not even halfway done yet. So take your high school rules argument and your old letter jacket somewhere else because I really don't wanna hear it. From meeting a girl, to winning conference, to becoming an All American swimmer, and everything in between. I can honestly say that 2012 didn't leave me with a bitter sweet taste in my mouth. I couldn't have asked for a better year to build on. If you are part of my life and are reading this right now, I just want you to know that I truly appreciate everything you have done for me in my life. I know that I'm not always the best person to be around or always the nicest to people who deserve it. But deep down I love all you guys and only want the best for you. So fill up your glasses and get ready for that stupid ass New Years kiss you all think is actually going to happen. Because 2013 is only going to be for the better.

See y'all later,
Alex

This one could get me in trouble... But my 2 cents on pregnant teens.

Hey guys, just sitting here at 12:20 on Friday the 28th of December and something just came up in my mind that I always wanted to get on paper so I could really try and get some structure on the topic and really give my slightly bias opinion on. Teenage pregnancy and Janesville Wisconsin. 

Now, I graduated in 2011 with about 400 people in my class and the other high school in Janesville graduated somewhere around 300 maybe, I don't know. But now that I am in college and working towards some kind of future sitting in some office with some dipshit boss and hopefully some cool best buds like workaholics. I wonder to myself the thoughts and ideas of someone fresh out of high school or in high school would want to have a baby and be a parent for the remainder of their lives or so. I think at the turn of the new year I can't count on two hands the amount of kids from Janesville that I graduated with or who are younger then me that have kids or in the process of having a kid. It is absolutely shocking. Now, mind you, I don't know these people personally or know their situation but I try to put myself in their shoes and think about my life if one day I got that call saying how I might be a father before I am ready. 

First off, my parents would cut me off and kick me right to the streets. They would barely be able to look me in the eye if I told them I was having a kid and dropping out of school. Second, and most important of them all, my future would take a serious turn for the potential worst. A college degree is so precious these days that not graduating could mean the end to me being able to support a child right and give it the proper care and attention that it needs to strive. I wouldn't be able to find a decent off job out of the gate to find a place to live or to feed her or myself and we would suffer. 

Which is why I don't get how these people can be truly happy about themselves getting pregnant. It just doesn't calculate in my head how someone could think their life is on the uphill now that a baby is on the way. Kids are expensive and time consuming and require so much to have any potential of not being a repeat offender of their parents. And listen guys, I'm not here saying that every teen pregnancy turns into a disaster, I know of plenty of cases where a baby born to early in the parents lives turn out just fine and end up getting the necessary tools to strive and able to make a life of their own. But I just don't know about these people in Janesville doing it, it isn't fair to the parents or the kids that they get put in their situation from some silly mistake that is easily avoidable. 

Maybe I'm right about some stuff and maybe I'm not. But i'm not the judge and don't wish any ill will upon the people who are in this boat that is teen pregnancy. But I know someone who is all about stopping the race to fertilize your eggs, his name is Trojan. Just some food for thought. 

See y'all later, Alex 

Romance in Movies, unfuckinbelievable.

Hey Guys! So I forgot the password to my old blog and you'll never guess how long I had it. ONE FUCKING DAY. Now as you think to yourself how stupid I am and questioning you ever wondering why you ever clinked on the link to my page let me do my best to try and convince you to stay for some of my own insight on a topic all you ladies and sappy ass gentlemen are all obsessed over. Love in movies.....

I was just watching The Amazing Spider-Man and noticed how Andrew Garfield is seriously such a stud when it comes to pulling off the nerd that for some whatever miracle Emma Stone falls in love with, what a load of shit. You honestly trying to get me to believe that Peter Parker is going to save some kid from getting beat up and all the sudden the "hottest" girl in the school is going to all the sudden start making out with him on her roof over looking the New York City skyline? Yeah come on Hollywood, the only time I ever believe in those fantasies is when I listen to a Taylor Swift song while out in public and then see a cute girl and my mind goes running as I picture all the happy times we could have together. But OH WAIT, Taylor Swift couldn't strike up a relationship that lasted even if she signed up for ChristianMingle.com. Speaking of T-Swizzle, y'all hear she is fucking around with Harry Styles from One Direction? I give it 4 months, and she will be all over the billboard top 100. 

But anyway, I just don't get how when I watch a movie about some nerd picking up a beautiful babe I am suppose to be able to get hope that one day be as lucky as him? Oh well, eHarmony here I come....... But lets look at other examples of completely baffling movie romances that have been struck up and Hollywood is suppose to let us believe are fabricated on some kind of truth. Emma Stone and Jonah Hill in Superbad! As if, you think that fat fuck could pick up a single piece of ass outside of the Medieval Carnival that he attends every summer at the local middle school? Yeah get a life. Jonah Hill and that Molly bitch from 21 Jump Street! Holy shit, this one basically just shines a light on jail baiters all over the country who always wish they could be 25 and it be okay with society to be with a 17 year old. That mother fucker falls in love with a senior in HIGH SCHOOL, the slimmed down fat fuck graduated 7 YEARS ago. Nothing says rock star stud like swimming in that underage pussy. And for anyone reading don't for one second think that I don't know that at 1 time you fantasized about a high schooler that was a few years younger then you. It happens, just don't think you can ever pull it off. Cause the only thing you will be pulling off is when you are "swag" walking to your seat in the cafeteria because Earl just butt rammed the shit out of you in Prison. Think twice ladies and gentlemen. 

See y'all later, Alex
