A Story Forever Told But Never Old!

*blows dust off page* Wow, I have really be lacking in this area! Time to give a little update. School started and it has been pretty interested to say the least. Words can not sum up the feelings of being a senior. Homecoming has happened and it was a ball and a half shell. First quarter is about to end and I the end of school is coming closer and closer. Every year it seemed like the end of the year came so slow but this year it seems like it is coming at me in full speed! I have to apply for college soon. I don't know where I want to go. I have decided though that I am gonna major in Business and start my own business though. This is all that is on my mind at the moment.

P.S. The New Jack's Mannequin album , The Glass Passenger, came out last week and you should ceck it out!

Everybody Get Dangerous...

Well today is the last day of my last summer vacation. Yes, I know that summers will come again but not one like this. I am gonna be a Senior this year so this summer was my last hoorah. When school ends life begins. Not that there is anything wrong with starting life but it is hard to comprehend that I will being starting college, and going on my mission soon. In my head it kinda seems like I just moved here from Michigan and I am in the 4th grade. My friend Zach said that it kinda still seems like he is still in the 3rd grade but this is just some dream he is having and that is a perfect way to put it. Its weird to think that this will be my last year of high school and that I have gone though all the grades. Here we go life is waiting to begin.

It's So Simple When You Know

Well this one goes out to Shark. I haven't posted in awhile and I have an excuse. I am working 2 part time jobs and I work a lot so I really don't have much time. I got my wisdom teeth out this week so I am typing this with one had while the other hand is holding a heating pad to my face.

Todays post is gonna be a rant on a fashion accessory called the "keffiyeh" aka Shemagh. The keffiyeh is worn by Arab man to keep the sun off them and used when dust storms kick up to keep sand out of the eyes and mouth. British troops saw the Arabs wearing these and many militaries have been using them since before WWII. It has recently been seen as "cool" and now is being jumped on by every Hipster in the nation. WHY PEOPLE WHY? Rachel Ray got smoked for a Dunkin' Donuts add because some people few the Shemagh as a sign of Palestinian Solidarity. Like we have pictured here. Look at the cute emo kid wearing one! Oh and then we have that girl modeling her Shemagh with a Pink Floyd shirt. SHE HAS PROBABLY NEVER EVEN LISTNED TO THEM!!!!! Let the real troops model these bad boys. Like this dude right here! In closing, Hipsters need to die!

It Takes More Than Combat Gear To Make A Man

Many people have weird hobbies. What is mine you ask? Airsoft. I like to dress up as a soldier and shoot other people with fake guns. Airsoft started over in Japan. Japan has very strict guns laws and you cant posses a real firearm ( This is as far as I know. Correct me if I am wrong.) And BOOM we get Tokyo Mauri which was one of the first airsoft manufactuers. It has been around in the U.S. for sometime but it isnt too popular. I'm sure most of you have seen a dumb springer that your little brother has. I am no where near that. That gun runs off a spring that you pull back to load. The guns that I have and use are runs off batterys that power motors that make the gun fire making my gun capable of shooting in fully automatic and single fire. I play with UCA (Utah County Airsoft) this is the website http://utahairsoft.org/. We have games about every month. UCA plays by the country system. Meaning we have groups that dress up depending on the country they are playing for. The Americans wear American camo, The German's wear German camo, etc. I am currently on the U.S. team. I've been playing for almost 3 years now and have had so much fun. If anyone would like to know more about it feel free to talk to me or look at the UCA website.

This Is Not The End.

I didn't write a post for last month so I feel like a bum. Just an update for everyone. My junior year ended with a bang, I ended up finishing with a 3.8 GPA, I am now employed, and I am currently enjoying summer vacation.

The last few days of school I learned a lot about myself. One of the main things was that I didnt realize how many people I am friends and how many people I know until yearbook day. This year my yearbook was jammed with signatures. Not trying to brag or anything. I also learned how much I really am gonna miss Chris and Johnny P. I have hung out with those guys so much and having TV/Video with them was a blast. Graduation bummed me out because I also realized how many people I am going to miss next year and how different it is going to be. I also came to a realization that this year was a key year for me. At the end of my Sophomore year I didn't know what High School was supposed to be like or how to have fun while in High School, but after help from a handful of people they showed me how High School should be and how to have fun.

I honestly really don't know how next year is going to end up but I am pretty excited for it to start. It is the end of a long 12 year career and the start of the rest of my life. I don't know if I should be freaking out or having the time of my life. Looks like we'll just have to wait and see...

Don't Think About Chances We're Taking

Well this one goes out to Tom, Jenna and Shark because they are always on me when I don't update my blog. This one is for you guys.

It has been a very long time since I posted and a lot has happened. I had the oppertunity to her for student council, I went to California on Spring Break, played lots of lacrosse, chased some women (Too bad it didnt work),wrote a killer speach, became a 60's music fan, learned that if you're naked while painting then its art (GREEN TEAM!), and have taken a step in my life that I think needed to be made. I have learned a lot about how to interact with people and what to when things get stressed.

Unfortunatly I lost and did not make Student Council. But the time I had while running was probably one of the best times of my lives. At Timpanogos you are divided into Blue Team and Green Team. Going into the team I was very skeptical about some people that ened up on my team because I did not have the best attitude towards them (not naming names). Now that it is all over and I spent a whole entire week with, had some laughs, cried, and learned that I have 17 wonderful friends. I have totally changed my thoughts to the ones I was skeptical about and have even more love for the ones I loved before. Green Team this is a thanks for you for putting up with me when I was in a crappy mood and following all my ideas. Who can forget me crushing a coke bottle and the lid nailing Hyrum in the face? *raises coke bottle* GREEEEEEEEN TEAM!!!!!!!!!!

P.s. I am far right center on the poster. Shout out to Dane for drawing killer glasses on me cause I was scared to draw my own glasses!

What Does It Take To Be A Super Hero?

Shark thinks that this is brilliant so I am showing it to you guys. Alexis and I made this video for the Utah High School Film Festival. Sadly it didnt place. This dumb LDS trip video won!

This Is Not The End!

So as many of you may know I am currently running for Student Body president at my school. I have been super busy doing stuff for the team that I was put on so I have not been able to post I am making it up to you guys by making 2 POSTS IN ONE DAY! So no more whining!
This is my election video

When You're Around

Man I feel like a bum for not writing an entry for awhile. I'd also like to say here that I am amazed at how many people actually read this blog. I have gotten so many "You need to write a new blog entry." in the past few weeks. Thanks for reading guys!

I had a total awesome post but then I had to leave my house and I totally forgot my idea. At the moment I'm watching 2001: A Space Odyssey. Watching this movie I am realizing what peoples hopes were for us. Stanley Kubrick Directed and wrote the screen play for the movie which was released in 1968. Eric Arthur Blair aka George Orwell wrote the classic novel 1984 which was written in 1949. If I do the math right we should have had the technology in 1984 and 2001: A Space Odyssey 17 years ago. What did we have in 1991? We had the First Gulf War, the L.A. Riots, the Pittsburgh Penguins win their first Stanley Cup, the Super Nintendo Entertainment System is released in the United States, Freddie Mercury died, Dr. Seuss died, U2 released their seventh album Achtung Baby, Nirvana released Nevermind, Boris Yeltsin becomes first freely elected president of Russian Republic, Dances With Wolves wins the Academy Award for Best Picture, Baseball officially bans Pete Rose from being elected to Hall of Fame, and Sterling Addison Randle was born!

Hmmm last time I check there weren't any commercial space stations, awesome tele-screens, dinner in pill, holograms, or psycho big brother governments being created in the last 17 years. What have we gotten in the last 17 years? Emo Kids, N64, Bop-It ( And all of its 1,000,000 spin offs!), Panic! At The Disco, Bluetooth, Mae, Guitar Hero, X-Box, the Zune, gas guzzling cars, the Sacajewea Dollar, actors being governors, and bad metal bands.

Also the last time I checked NONE OF THOSE ARE COOLER than the Technology in 984 and 2001: A Space Odyssey. Come on Scientists! Stop seeing how many Monkey Stem Cells you can fit on the head of a needle and start doing something useful! Make these people proud of their visions that they had. Prove to all the other countries that we are who we really are! GOD BLESS AMERICA!

I Want To Hold Onto Something That Wont Break Away or Fall Apart

Well I planned on doing a video post for my next post but I kept on putting it off and look where that got me! It is like a week later! Actually its over a week! And it happens to be the 14th of Feburary which is Valentines Day if you didnt know! There are some people out there who are "Holiday Challenged". I would like to give a breif history of this day.

In the Catholic Church there are multiple Saints with the name Valentine (I.E. Valentine of Terni) and until about 1969 there were 14 different Valentine's Days for the various martyrs. The 14th is linked to Valentine of Terni and Valentine of Rome. It is disputed by a lot of people who it is actually linked too. Others think that it is the time that Zeus and Hera were married.

So there you have it. You and your lovey cakes are celebrating a wedding of 2 people you dont even know and are celebrating the death of great people. How do you feel about that now?

The City Is At War

To start it off I would like to say "Go Giants!" way to beat them Gaytriots and make it so they couldnt hav a perfect season. Does this mean it couldnt happen? I dont know, I'm not much of a football expert but I do know that the Salisbury Lacrosse team went 3 perfect seasons before losing a game so you never know it could happen! Was anyone else disapointed with the commercials during the game? There were only a hand full of them that were noticable. The Life Water one with Shaq as a jockey was awesome. FedEx's uses of giant Pigeons was most excellent and E-Trades baby that was also an on line trader were great! Other than those ones there werent really many "funny" ones. Bad year boys. We'll get em next year.

Every Story Needs An Ending After All

Man this blogging stuff is really hard! I can never think of anything to write. I am pretty sure I am gonna do a lot better next week. I have topics in mind that I'll write about. Till then I bid you farewell.

Looking For A Chance To Be Something More Than Just Metal

If you havent noticed it so far then I think its time to tell you. Every title has either been lyrics from a song of a title of a song. My blog name comes from a lyric too! That brings me to the topic of my post today. Music. It has always been in my life. I got it from my Dad. He never really sat down and said to me "Now son, Music is important and is here for a reason." I could just tell from his attitude that music is special and it is here for a reason. This leads me to my tops played in iTunes! This has changed I just havent taken a screen shot of the most recent one.

Time Wont Let Me Go...

I've decided that blogging is harder than you think it would! You have to come up with a witty title and then you gotta write about something. I think I've had writers block for the past few days.

Has anyone elso noticed how awesome High School sporting events are? Where else can you cheer, dress, and act the way you do at these events? For me I usually wear a pair of electric blue Nike short shorts, a Timpanogos High School Tank-top, a green Neff hat, blue Nike Soccer socks, and a pair of Nike hi-tops. Yestersay we played Spanish Fork. My friends and I arrived 2 minutes into the 3rd quater which was good because thats means we didnt have to pay! Since we are away the students get shafted and have to sit in the upper section of the stands. Unlike at our school where the bleachers go right down to the court. This also bugs me because when fans come from other schools to cheer on thier team they dont have to sit in the nose bleeds. They are at the same level as we are. Once you do walk into a game the atmosphere changes. There are no losers, preppy kids, nerds, jocks or any of those clicks. We are all T-Wolves. It is a glorious sight to see. We also have some pretty awesome cheers. Last night Spanish Fork (They are the Dons so must of their cheers involve Spanish roots) started cheering ,"O lay, o lay, o lay", (Or how ever you spell it!) so to dapen their spirts we started cheering "We speak English!" Yes it might be rude or inconsiderate, or maybe even racist but hey thats High School Sports. This is a picture of our best player.

My Life Has Become A Boring Pop Song And Everyone Is Singing Along

Its the middle of the week everyone! Huzzah! We're almost at the weekend! There has been something that has bothered me for about the past 2 weeks. Every morning I wake up somewhere between 6:50-7:00 and I have to jam and hurry to do things because Josh comes to get me at about 7:25-7:30. I woke up one day and went out of my room and down 2 flights of stairs into my bathroom, started the shower and went for my towel. I always grab my towel and hang it above the door so I can dry myself off with out getting super cold. I noticed that none of my towels were there! That is quite odd because there are usually 2 Lemon Yellow towels hanging there. I opened the dryer and the washer and they weren't in there. So now I am getting frusterated. These towles are amazing! They are soft and they are quite long and wide. That means I can wrap my self in them and feel nice a toasty. I run back up 2 flights of stairs grab a towel in the closet and run back down stairs. After I have taken my shower I reach up and grab the towel and wrap it around my waist. This towel is TINY. It is like a hotel towel but a weird Forest Green. for the record I HATE Hotel towels. They are always too small, rough, and never absorb much water. I use this towel to the best of my ability but to no use there is still water on me. I can feel it as I run back up stairs to my room and I can feel it because my clothes become wet. I have been using this towel for 2 weeks and I am starting to get really sick of it!

She Thinks I'm Much Too Thin...

Wecome one and all to mah awesome blog! I've decided to finally jump on this band wagon and make one of these things. It also give me one more thing to do on the internet. You can never be on the internet too much!

You people might be thinking "Why is Sterling's first blog entry entitled She Thinks I'm Much Too Thin...?" Well I will answer that question for you since I am such an awesome guy! That sentence happens to be the first line to a song by my favorite bands album. The song song is Holiday From Real by Jack's Mannequin off the, oh so awesome, album Everything In Transit! I suggest that everyone goes and listens to that album (listen to the clean one as there is a minor bit of language). I'm just gonna sum everything about me right now. I am a Junior in High School and I am lovin every minute of it. Ever though being a teenager can suck big time, and all that High School drama can be a downer, life is great! I play Lacrosse and hope to play on the Varsity team this year (Come February I shall know.) and I love to Airsoft (I'll make a post about Airsoft so you can see my TRUE inner nerd) and music is a huge part of my life. My iPod is another limb.

Time to wrap this bad boy up! Pull up an arm chair and lets make a toast to future blog posts!
