The Core was incomplete

This past week in my life was good. I will write of the Core event that I attempted.
It was refreshing to stand on a starting line, since I ran track and cross country in high school. My record times were four minutes and forty seconds for the mile, and I almost ran a ten minute two mile. At the beginning of the core race, I was surprised how easy it was to find myself in second place. I know that many of my followers may be my friends from Facebook, and they read a view of the race already; however, I will express myself more fully. I was second place behind a good friend of mine Tommy Zaferes.
Last Sunday he won the Sandman Triathlon. He has always been an awesome athlete. He has train with our Olympians. I was not trained as him nor had the goals like him in completing the Core race. In second place I saw him swim in the ocean as if it was his personal swim pool. I swam with him when I was on a team, and he dove into the ocean like he use to into a normal pool. I could not do that though, for I only swam a couple times in training for the event.
I lived the race without a goal. I did not have a goal, so I did not finish the race. Living life's events without goals, we may not complete any great achievements. I finished the race in the middle of the second swim because I did not feel like swimming anymore. I trained swimming according to how I felt, so that is how I finished the race.
The lifeguard, escorting off the course, introduced me to the great care of our emergency servicemen. They were all realistic, and I was told that there is no shame in not finishing the race; however, I finished the race in the emergency room not because I needed it. I followed what they suggested. One of the couple times I swam in training was in the ocean, and I finished swimming with the same result as what the emergency servicemen saw. I shivered without control for a long time and that is all. I did not need their service, but it was protocol. The care was great. It was not freighting.

I had another thing that I wanted to write about. I wanted to write about the bad economy, but I am not of authority to. I just have a little knowledge of what is going on. My mother says that I think that I know everything. I attempted to write a simple thing about the economy, but I realized that I can't. I wanted to write of concerning the principle of self reliance, living within our means. I can't speak on these matters.

Here is my random NASA update. They have sent Juno to Jupiter on a five year trip to arrive there. The Earth seemed to have two moons at one time, and there is water on Mars.

Starting new things

This past week was awesome. I started some great things, and I have a few things that I would like to report on of current events. 


My job at Fun Fine Art is a success. I am working the production of the local artist's work. CC Joelle even let me start a twitter for the website. I hope to develop a dynamic community therein. The first tweet features a piece by Alphonse Mucha entitled Daydream. I don't particularly like his art because it is especially suggestive, but the fine art print featured from our collection is good at https://twitter.com/#!/FunFineArt. I did some research and put a link on another tweet, giving a quote about the man's legacy. That link shows the suggestive artwork of his that I found to not like.


 The NASA news for the week is the they are seeking to land of an asteroid; also, they are going to do research on Jupiter with spacecraft Juno.


If you are interested in what else I started, I started learning sign language! I met my best friend at my first introduction to the language, and we are at it again. Since I am going to be a special education teacher, I may need to know the silent communication.


Another thing that I started this week is prepare for a race that I am going to do this next Tuesday. I run most morning, but this race called the Core is a run swim run. I needed to get use to swimming again. I have not swim in many years. Thursday morning I went to swim in the ocean to see how it will be like, and after swimming a few laps of the coast. I felt that I should get out, a little cold. Getting out of the water felt weird, I was almost dizzy. I was shivering like crazy for a long time. It was a refreshing first swim. I will have to tell you about the race next week.


The same next Tuesday is supposed to be the date that our government needs to pay for it's bills. On my twitter of current events I have not been covering this because of the Obama drama. The politic of this is insane that I cannot cover it, so yeah. 


Oh yeah. Last Sunday I was preparing to host the Family Home Evening, an evening for the family to get together. The FHE was to introduce everyone that I can in the singles branch to the service opportunities of the LDS church online. I mainly checked my mormon.org account because my father was going to speak on the other internet opportunities, namely http://www.familysearch.org/eng/indexing/frameset_indexing.asp and new.familysearch.org. These websites have great and key opportunities to accomplish the work of Genealogy work. Checking my Mormon.org account, I had a suggestion to make the entries shorter, so I did that last Sunday. Simpler is better, so you can check it out. It is not as scary any more.
