On Monday, me and my family headed out to my sister's first Jays game! Not only was it her first time, but it was also the big surprise for her birthday. The Blue Jays were playing against Tampa Bay Rays. Oh and may I just point out, the Jays kicked some Ray butts!! They won 7-4, fair and square. First up to pitch was Dickey (yes i know what you're thinking, strange last name eh?) who has a fantastic throw, and was good at getting the players out at base "Strike 3! You're out buddy!!". Half way through, around the 5th inning or so, they switched up Dickey with Janssen. I personally don't like him as much as Dickey, but hey, he finished up the game with a win for the Jays! Gotta give them credit for that! Now to my over-all favourite player... #13, Brett Lawrie!!!! Okay first of all, he's the only Canadian on the team, which is amazing!! And he's a fantasic player! He played a great game on Monday, and I believe he got one or two great runs! Jose also was fantastic, he got the most runs in the game.
The stadium was pretty packed, but not as full as I thought it was going to be. Lots of insane fans, and crazy drunks that would yell out at the most random points in the game. Apart from that I LOVED it!!!!! And I want to go everyday! I may have grown to have a slight obsession over the game.
OH. Awkward story time!! Okay so on our way to a restaurant after the game was over, which was in walking distance of the stadium, we were crossing at an interection when this strange man walked up right beside me. Now, at first I believed he was just a very social man, but he had other influences than just being a social butterfly... The man started to talk about crossing the street, then said "I don't know about you, but i like to hold hands when I cross the street." As he says this he extense his hand out me... Yeah right then and there i realised he was very drunk, and was trying to pick up chicks. Unfortunatly I apparently look way older than my actual age, so to him I probably looked 18 with the amount of beer he guzzled down that throat of his. When I rejected his request he got a little sassy, I just rolled my eyes and carried on. I was on the look out for drunks for the rest of the walk to the restaurant, you could say I became a little paranoid and on edge after that interesting encounter.
So, my question for you is: What professional sports games have you been to? And have you had any strange encounters with drunk people?
Love. It is a strong bond between you and that special someone. Love. It is what we show to one other when we are going through hard times. Love. Something that everyone wants, and needs. But are we abusing what Love is supposed to be?
You know you hear the couples around the school saying "I'm SO in love with you!"... Yeah okay let's be real here. First of all, as teenagers we tend to be just a tad dramatic. Oh, and may I just say, if you've known the person for a week, you don't love them. Sorry, but really you're not. Love is when you know and care for who they are inside out. You want to do what's best for them. You want them to be happy, no matter what the heart break brings. When love exists, the tough situations that come along become a tiny bump in the road. What I see around school bothers me. I feel bad for those poor people who are being told that someone loves them. We jump to conclusions when we don't fully understand what we are feeling. In this case, they say "I love you" because they don't understand the feelings that they are experiencing. Then comes the heart break, and we wonder, "what happened?".
Usually the bond in the relationship is not strong enough. When something arises, the situation becomes unbearable, and the relationship is called off. Don't get me wrong, this isn't always how heart break works. Another possibility is when one person in the relationship is not ready. They start doubting their feelings, and say the famous phrase "it's not you, it's me.".
Love is an incredible thing. It can hold us together, and give us something to strive for. When someone loves you, they put you first in their life. They treat you like the prince, or princess that you are. And no matter what happened in your past, they still love you, no matter what.
The world we live in does not understand what Love really is. So every person you come across, smile and say hello. You may just make their day.
"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away."
-1 Corinthians 13:4-8
 So, you could say i'm probably one of the biggest fans for The Amazing Race. Just the idea of being able to travel the world, and compete for this insane amount of money is a dream of mine. I mean common, even if I didn't make it to the final 3, and win the money, i'd be one of the luckiest people in the world. How many people get a once in a life time oppertunity like that? A VERY small amount of people that's for sure.
Not only do I love the adventure and travelling aspect of The Amazing Race, but the competition. I'm one of the most competitive people I know. If I want to win, you better watch out because you're going down! Sorry for all of you who have seen my raging fire when it comes to winning.. I tend to be a sore loser... Anyhow, it's not always about the winning, it's about the experience.
Now who do I choose to take this race around the world with? Good question. The idea would be to bring someone with me who also loves the adventure and competition. Someone who I could work well with. And no matter what situation, would never hate them. I mean, this person would have to mean a lot to you right? To experience something like this together? Why not?
Would you take up an oppertunity like this if you got it? Who would you bring along with you?
