Legends Never Die

               Hey guys, so you all probably thought I was gone, that i'd given up, and pulled the plug on my blog. Well luckily for you guys, I have not given up my goal of educating each and every single one of you on the many principles, practices, and nuances of Jarrod-ism. Instead of lessons, today, I'll simply give all of you a much-needed explanation for my absence thus far. Here are my excuses with explanations for each one.

1. All AP Everything

                With the coming of Spring, it signals the advent of what is known as AP (Advanced Placement) testing. In a nutshell, the very kind, generous, understanding, and reasonably priced collegeboard lets us high school students take a series of tests that are 3 hours long each, (4 hours if you get absolutely amazing and intelligent proctors). For a low price of only $660 I got to take exams such as AP Hand Cramps (AP US history), AP Staring into Space (AP Spanish), AP Inferiority Complex (AP Physics C), and others. All thanks to the amazing Collegeboard.

                                                           Yea fuck you too

       2. All I do is swim

                  As the end of the spring high school swim season drew to end, I was convinced by team that I needed my rest because my abilities in the championship meet were absolutely critical to our team's standing. With encouraging words from another good swimmer on the team,

Don't worry, you'll always have a special place in my heart

I decided to put the good of my swim team over you, my dear reader, and was forced to put my blog on hold.

       3. It's Summer

               Ever since summer started, just like I envisioned, I have spent the majority of my time writing a book, conducting research, bboying, exercising, lifeguarding, interning, cooking, and generally being productive.

                               

Whatever, it's only June

                However, on some level though, I have been taking some time off from the daily grind of work, interning, and online computer games to sit back and think about where I am. Because now is a time when I need to focus on what discipline I want to specialize in, I have been thinking about which I would best function in and contribute to the world with. Some things I've been doing are brisk runs at sunrise, half-day bike trips around a natural environment, philosophical reading, and staring at a lava lamp before bedtime. If any one of you gets the chance, I really urge you to at least wake up early one day and at least take a short walk around your neighborhood. It is akin to taking a breath of fresh air while working in a paint factory. 

                                        Bottom Line: I'm back, and I've got lots to write about.

            Jarrod-ism for the day - "I'm haterphobic, they be mad cause i'm winning"

             Peace Out, 

                 J-rod
