Nike Free's

Today My Nike Free's Came!

The one time mom let me stand on the chair.

*Note the customized design - I run for me and for Leo!

For a Christmas present I really wanted a pair of Nike Free's and my mom said I could get them as an early present.  Once I customized them,  my mom and I placed the order (it goes with out saying).
I really wanted them because I recently started the Brattlebero x-Country Running Team.   Once they came, my mom was worried that they would no longer fit me at Christmas (I'm growing a lot) so she let me have them early.  A few days before that my gym teacher gave us a talk about how normal sneakers soles elevate to support your heel and how the human (Homo Sapiens) have evolved to walk from toe to heel and most peoples' shoes are made so you walk from heel to toe.  I wanted these shoes because they do exactly the opposite of what I just said. They make it so that your heel and toe are at the exact same height, and the sole is really flexible so its just like running barefoot! They feel sooooo good!

Today was Monday.  Monday is my least favorite day in the week because its the first day of school and its usually the first day of the work week for grown-ups.  For me its kind of hard to get back into the 'swing of things', if you catch my drift.  At school I got a new math assignment,  I also have to finish my portfolio by taking a picture of me playing the drums on Wednesday.

At recess four square is turning into 'not get hit in the face' square, once you get people out they kind of do a really high pitched scream and/or run at you and push you.  Today I said "how hard is it to just play a normal game of four square?!" but nobody said any thing.  The only good thing about Monday is that the next day (Tuesday) is my drum lesson, oh-ya!  I personally think that being a drummer in a band is very important because the drummer keeps the beat, if the drummer gets off the beat the whole band gets of the beat.  When I was playing with my dad (who plays guitar) my dad says I'm making him a better guitarist because I'm keeping the beat so well.  Do you know how some people call electric drum sets 'fake' and acoustic drum sets 'real'?  (By the way, I have an electric drum set) When someone says that to me I say: "Electric drum sets are real and acoustic drum sets are also real.  Nobody calls an electric guitar fake and nobody calls an acoustic drum set fake.  You see what I mean?" Then they usually say "I see, I see".  Sometimes it just really bothers me.  But a lot of people don't know, but I don't blame them.
