sigh... only 1k downloads and 19 recommendations after 4,5 days... :( my first map had 1k downloads within a day or 2. and like 8k on the 5th. i have a plan tho. maybe in a few weeks, ill take it of and add it back on so it could get a second try, cause these maps are only in the search popularity list within the first week of upload. maybe it was just a slow week

Yesterday, before going to school i kept thinging about the warmness of chicago and all the snow finally melted, and some how the song Boys of the Summer by dj sammy came into my mind. Now i havent listened to this song in probably over 5 years, but just came back to me. I kept thinking about it on the way to school and played it on youtube before class started. Then on the way back home i kept thinkin about it and i put on the 80's/oldies radio station and the song comes on, Soak up the sun. Man, it felt good listening to ol summer hits again. Got home, downloaded both songs + a few more Dj Sammy and throught the whole day, boys of the summer and heaven. And went to bed thinking about the song haha. And then this morning idk why but i felt super happy(prob cause i finished my map haha) and thought about, if anything can describe how i feel right now, its 2:12 of Boys of the summer, floatin all around

we had another youth church lock in(like after service hang out party) last night. and i went without the bandaid, so i showed my battle scars :) supprisingly not too many poeple asked about it, only a few. i guess most didnt want to knew not to just to be nice, so im happy i didnt have to explain that much. other than that it was a great night. we played games and stuff till 6 in the morning fun fun fun

so i went sledding today with a few friends i went down the hill and around the curve were some people walking up. i tried to dodge them, but with my old sledd its hard and i went the wrong way. i crashed into a tree face first i got a gash a little less than a centermeter long on the top of my nose between the eyes. blood was flowing so i was trying to cover it with my gloves till i got to the car. i didnt have a first aid kit nor any napkins. luckly my friend had napkins from tacobell lol. so i was using that to clean myself up and stop the blood. it seemed to clot quickly so i was happy. i just kept dabbing it to dry up the blood. lol one woman was sitting in her car and saw me, so she reach out the window and handed more napkins for me. unfortuantly i didnt see any blood splatter on the snow from the tree i hit lol. i still went down the slope one more time :) then we went to steak and shake and i got a bandaid from their haha. and luckly when i got home my mom was talking on the phone so she couldnt say anything to me as i hurried upstairs lol. it didnt hurt at all at first, but now after cleaning it up and putting H202 ( hydrogen peroxide :p ) on it, it hurts just a bit but im fine. just stinks for tommorow cause theres a church youth hang out/party after the service, n im probably gonna have a bandaid on my nose, or leave and with a big red dash and a thick nose and ppl with be askin what happen

so we're gonna have a blizzard here in chicago... they even closed the community college campus for today and tommrow it'll be funny if it turns out that theres barley any storm at all lol

went to a birthday party today. was fun. birthday boy's brother in law brought in his kinect for xbox 360. and that is abosolutlery amazing technology... then they had a bunch a snacks, i stayed healthy with it and ate the carrotes and cellery sticks hhaha. then they brought in stuffed crust pizza and buffalo wild wings. delicious. ten played that game with the name on ur forehead, mafia, and a game like guess the difference, where one person leaves the room, and we make a few changes like 2 people switch watches, or close the curtains, and the person who left have to find out wat was changed. one of the rounds, a newcomer came to play, and while he was gone we all schooched our chairs forward so it was a tighter circle/oval. and he didnt notice for the longest time! and he kept walking back and forth, and while he was facing the other way, the people behind schooched closer, until the point where there was barley even room to walk comfortably with space! lol. it was a fun game i never played before. and ya! so to conclude the night, its halo liek usual. peace
