Before The World Ends...

I keep being informed that this may be the last day I have on Planet Earth. I have not heard of any plans to leave the planet before it explodes or what ever may happen. The thing that I find most peculiar is that not one person has any idea of what is going to happen to the people of earth. No astrodes have been detected coming in earths direction, there hasn't been an outbreak of the black plague or anything yet, so as it seems the most likely cause of the end of the earth is zombies from too many people taking bath salts. So I will take this time as I sit alone in my home to compile a list of things I am proud I accomplished in life.

1. Won a Race. I been blessed to have won a total of 6 races. 2 of which are highlights of my athletic career being the 1500m and XC titles at EOSSAA in my senior year of high school. The 3rd being when I raced my younger sister from couch to the tv remote so we could deicide what we were going to watch. The other 3 are of lesser importance.

2. Have sober conversations with 3 pretty girls and ask there names without it being creepy. The names of these ladies will be kept a secret but they will receive a personal message from me on the final day of life, the message will either be a confession of my love or simply a link to this blog.

3. This one is an extension of the number 2, learn that pretty girls like skinny guys. This knowledge I would have loved to have earlier in life therefore maybe increasing the amount of pretty girls that i have talked too.

4. Make friends with bonds that can never be broken. To a runner such as myself I am a strong believer in the amount of miles ran next to an individual can decide on how strong the friendship is. A great example is DC, I'd say we ran over 10'000km side by each, and if the world does end, lets set the WR for fastest people to climb the Stairway. (Don't worry there are lots of you that fit this category, and if we can't get the WR, I'd say we could get the win in the team challenge)

5. Made memories that will last forever.

good bye earth was nice living with you.

Rj didn't actually live with earth because earth never lived, it's an inanimate object... just saying...

The end of the world is tomorrow and I mean even tho NASA predicted that the world wasn't going to end doesn't mean they're necessarily right, a 13 year old boy once proved NASA wrong so i'm not going to put all my eggs in one basket. So i've decided to make a compilations of things that i have accomplished in my life just like RJ so that one day, when humanity is gone, and aliens come strolling by with their ipods and pick up our wifi connection, they can maybe read this and idolize me or something. On that day my one true life goal and dream will be fulfilled because i'd have created a whole race of supreme runners.

1. I would love to put my ultimate life goal and dream, creating a whole race of supreme runners, as my first accomplishment, however, i'm not going to lie to you. The first and probably most important accomplishment in my life thus far will probably have to be the fact that I enjoy everything I do and that I do what I want, not influenced by others in to doing something I don't want to do. If i died tomorrow I would probably be content with how my life has turned out thus far with next to no regrets even tho i'd be pretty dissapointed that I didn't live to the certain day of me beating rj and dc in a race.

2. My second most prominent accomplishment would probably be all the sports i've managed to participate in. The things i do in life define me, all the races I've done, the endless hours of training i've completed, and all the friends i've made along the way!

3. My third biggest accomplishment would probably have to be passing kindergarten. Believe it or not i failed kindergarten, I have no idea how but they kept me back a year, i mean I never was good at coloring in the lines, and i wasn't very social, mean to other kids some may say but I don't think I was bad enough to fail! I wonder how they grade you in kindergarten because if i was graded on little kid swag and cutness i'd of skipped so many grades i'd of graduated already!

4. A fourth accomplishment would have to be all the great friends i've made through out my life. As i get older I'm starting to realize how important and how much best friends really mean to me

Well hope you die a quick painless death tomorrow!

First of all, click here to get a better appreciation for the gravity of this situation.

This is it friends. This is the end. The end of this post, the end of this blog, the end of the internet, the end of the modern world, The End. Following suit, I choke on sun.
And the days blur into one.
And the backs of my eyes hum with things I've never done.
I will list them here.

Premonitions of the future have assaulted my mind, no doubt from the aliens about to come to earth. Only 7 days from now, as we stand on the barren face of our planet, a fraction of our race remaining, the sun does not set, it does not rise, but constant twilight keeps time standing still.

I think to myself, " If this is it, I cannot lament my existence, for what bipedal humanoid would not be happy with having run a 58s 400m. I can die in peace."

The tremors increase in frequency and intensity, as we, bj, rj, ap, and sp stand in the center of a track. The erie orange glow of twilight accents the edges of the stadium stands as they crumble under the constant  unearthly tremors no doubt emanating from the numerous UFOs hovering thousands of feet above us, yet large enough to be visible in the pale red and yellow of the sky.

I think to myself, "If this is it, I can be happy with the way things turned out. For I once met 3 Olympian runners over the course of 3 weeks. I can die in peace."

A warm wind blows across the turf. As the the spaceships come close to us, we do not lament our impending doom and death, and as we are beamed slowly upwards, we slowly observe the final decay or the civilization of man, the grass black from the snow that lay on it only 7 days ago.

Floating high above the ground, I finally think to myself, "It's pretty cool I get to die with these dudes. Did everything else with them so it only makes sense. From the moment of RJ deciding him and I were going to run fast, to eventually becoming a group of 5, it's been a good run."

The beam finally brings us into the ships core,
The alien inside opens the ships door,
Close the door,
Get on the Floor,
Everyone walk the dinosaur.

DC, RJ, lmnAP
