Countdown

Welcome 2011!  Welcoming the year again without anyone to kiss when the clock strikes midnight.  But its all good, the future is looking bright for me.  Hopefully December 31st 11:59:59 there will be a Mrs. Casanova.  Much Love. Happy New Year!

Year in Review

Year 2011 is just 3 hours away and it got me thinking, was  I content with 2010?  Don't get me wrong, I am very excited to welcome in the new year but there are still 3 hours left in the current year and I am going to try to make the most out of it even though the weather is so shitty.  This was the year I finally broke out of the shell.  Never in my life did I ever had the confidence to talk to a girl but this year I finally grew a pair and took matter into my own hands.  Gone are the days I doubt myself although results are still a work in progress.  I went to Louisville, Kentucky for DECA and met some girls all over the country.  The year also marked my 18th year of birth.  Boy was I so excited to finally turn 18.  I am finally allowed inside a strip club, dance clubs and casinos.  

2010 was filled with good memories.  I can definitely say that this year was a good one.  I can't wait to see what 2011 has to offer.  Senior prom, graduation and going to college is just right around the corner.  Its up to me whether these events are going to be a memorable one or not.  I have every intention of starting the year with a bang.  I have something up my sleeve and will hopefully work to my favor. 

So long 2010, welcome 2011.

What is so special about Christmas?

Oh its that time of the year again.  Christmas time is just 2 days away.  Thank god I finally have my shopping done.  I'm here at Danny Sheets' house with the DECA officer team.  We're baking cookies in the spirit of Christmas and its a blast being with these group of guys.  And oh yeah, that girl I talked about in my first post is in attendance.  Seeing everyone work together and having fun really got me thinking.  What makes Christmas fun?  Is it the food?  Is it the presents?  Or is it being in the presence of the people that make you smile?

One too many...

I am hanging out at Crowne Plaza in Plymouth for DECA District 4 competition.  So far its been going good besides the stress of competing and getting my shit together.  What's keeping me going is my friends and I.  We have an ongoing wager on who will get the most numbers by the end of tomorrow.  From my observations, I like my odds.  The girl to guy ratio is 5 to 1.  If I just stay persistent and keep macking on the girl, I am bound to bring home at least one set of numbers and some pics. 

As good looking as Irondale girls are, Elk River and Rogers girls have trumped them (shout out to Griffey).  With pretty girls lurking the hallways left and right, I can't decide on who to talk to.  So many choice with so little time.  I need to have a go getta mindset and just play the odds.  Ask as many girls as a I can and hope for luck.  Peace out for now. 

All-talk?

We are halfway through December and I could not be anymore excited.  The start of winter break is next Wednesday, Christmas is next Saturday, New Year's day will be followed just a week after and then we are back to school, which brings us to the beginning of January.   The end of semester is on January 26 and the following week is the much anticipated Ice Age week.  Being an Irondale senior, I pledged to exit my high-school year with a bang and I plan on doing that by attending the dances.  The first dance of the year was Homecoming and that was a blast.  Never in my high-school did I ever go to homecoming.  I went with a couple of my buddies and we dressed to impress finishing off our looks with suspenders and some stunna' shades.  Sadie's was a let down but I made an effort to at least go.  I tried very hard to score a date with this girl up 'til the last minute but it did not work.  Just a few weeks ago, DECA, my marketing class, pulled off a very successful dance.  A lot of people came and it was a blast.  I have come to realize that attending these dances is not such a bad idea. 

What made homecoming and the DECA dance that much better is that I finally made some kind of interaction with the girl that every guy wish they had ( I will keep her name anonymous to save her from the embarrassment).  Lets rewind back here for a bit.  This girl is by far the prettiest girl I have ever seen.  She was in this long relationship until the beginning of the school year.  Seeing her facebook status go from "in a relationship" to "single" excited a lot of guys including me.  If I was ever gonna get a shot with this girl, this is my opportunity. 

Fast forward to November 5, thought to myself: "I'm going to ask her to Ice Age, Hitch style (Sorry its too long to explain the process.  You're gonna have to watch the movie and find out on your own)!"  I figured it was a win-win situation for me.  First, I would get props from all the guys for having the go-nads to ask this girl. Win.  Second, I have nothing to lose asking her.  I might even get some points for being confident enough to ask her. Win.  I didn't even think about the situation in case she says no.  I was so set on this plan and nothing was gonna stop me from doing it.  I even asked some girls about the plan and they all thought it was good and there was no way she could say no to me.

Today, I've been trying for the past month to make some progress with this girl.  I went to her dance competition and even tried talking to her afterwards but I swung and missed.  I also attempted to text her but it doesn't seem to be working.  All of her responses indicate that I should not bother.  So what I am coming down to is that I am starting to doubt the plan I had put into place.  For the past month, I have been telling myself that I will go through and nothing will stop me.  My friends didn't think I would do it but I told them to watch.  Now, I think they might be right.  Am I all-talk?  Am I just like the other guys that are too afraid to make a move?  Hopefully the next 2 weeks will shed some light on this situation
