With the nicer weather this weekend my friends and I decided to actually get to throw outside. We all mostly through discus with some of us throwing hammer. I just through discus and had a pretty good practice. I worked on technique and was able to get some good throws in. We threw for awhile it was nice to be able to finally get outside and get some throws in since we've been stuck inside.

Commercials

All three of the commercials were trying to appeal to different people. The iphone commercial wanted to appeal to anyone who doesn't have a iphone and show the many different people that own them. The samsung commercial was funny and showed many different races and with the humor it would appeal to all people. The last commercial by showing the little kid and the car it could have a sentimental feeling to it to appeal to families and the type of people that would be interested in buying that car. We have to be critical with commercials to appeal to the people who would be able to buy whatever the commercial is for and would also be interested in buying these items.

First home track meet

This week we had our first home track meet. We practiced the whole week and for me they were going really well especially earlier in the week I was looking for a big pr. The night before we worked a high school meet that we hosted. It went well with a pretty good turn out of teams. I only throw weight indoor. Things were feeling good leading up the meet. My first throw was good and was close to my pr. My next throw wasn't as good and it was something I did. My last throw which I wanted to be good I ended up fouling on. It was a decent meet in all you can't expect to pr every meet but i'm staying consistent.

Childhood memory

When  I was younger we used to make almost yearly family trips to go to cedar point. We don't live far from cedar point so my mom, dad, sister and I would make the trip to cedar point and spend a day in the park. They would ride the bigger rides when and I would ride rides like the mine cart or some of the other in snoopy land. Like any other kid growing up I wanted to be just like my dad. I would do a lot of the same things as him, I would try to look like him and when he was home i'd always follow him around.
One year it was a hot summer day we had been riding rides it was getting to be about mid day and we had brought food in a cooler and were going over to sit and eat in the picnic area. We went over everyone ate I had my peanut butter and jelly and my chips and my crackers. Now while I was sitting with my mom and my sister my dad decided to leave and go somewhere to get some coffee. I was playing at the time and my mom and sister were busy doing something else I had noticed my dad had left through the gate and went off into the park. I decided that I wanted to follow my dad. I set down my toys grabbed the handle to my little wagon and started to make my way towards the gate. I walked for a bit to get to the gate. When I got there I was to short to get the gate open after sometime a lady opened the gate for me and let me through. Once I had walked a little bit out into the park I looked around and couldn't find my dad. I just froze once I realized I couldn't see him and I couldn't get back into the gate. I then stood there with my wagon stuck in the park without anyone. I kept looking back and forth trying to figure out which way he went and where he could have gone. People kept walking past but none of them were him and none of them knew him or where he was. Lucky for me my dad was already on his way back from getting his coffee. He came up and was asking what I was doing and how I managed to get out into the park. I then told him the lady let me out and that my sister and mom were still eating. After we got back in where my sister and mom were both looking for me trying to figure out where I went and were looking around for me. I got in trouble of course once they knew I was ok and where I went.
With this memory I know for sure that it is real it'll get brought up by my family still every now and then. It really isn't that important of a memory it happened but is something I could have forgotten. But with other memories of my childhood and growing up I've brought up stories that I thought actually happened but never actually did. I've had both my parents and friends tell me things I thought for sure were real aren't at all. With little non important memories it isn't that big of a deal. But it could matter if it affects someone else or your view on something or someone.

Findlay track meet

Last Friday the track team had a indoor track meet at Findlay university. I was entered in one event the weight throw. There was three flights I was entered in the first flight. My warm up throws went well and felt good going into competition. My goal going into this meet was to pr. My first throw I was quick and it was short. My second throw I was more patient like my coach told me to be and I wasn't used to it and caged it. My last throw everything came together and I was able to pr with a throw of ten meters and sixty centimeters. After we got to watch two throwers who were competing unattached in the weight throw and will be throwing at the Olympics this year.

As I wake up I don't recognize where I am it looks like a jail cell and I look around. I don't know how I got here or remember any of the night before. I then reach into my pocket and find some items in my pocket. I find the keys to my car I remember my friends and I decided to go out for a few drinks. I then find a receipt from the bar and remember we ended up drinking a lot more then we meant to and met some interesting people. We decided to get a cab and go over to a different buddies house. I then find a note from someone I met at the party my friend was throwing. I also pull out a receipt from ordering pizza and for some reason decided to order enough for the whole party. Lastly I find another receipt from a gas station one of my friends through up in the cab he dropped us off and we went into the gas station I decided to try and fight the guy working the counter and I got arrested and my friends ran.
