i can't float.

swimming...moving through the water - yes.
floating, well...that's a no-no.

these last few weeks since skool have started have been da bomb! i mean tuesdays and thursdays, i have an identical schedule where i start the day off early in the morning swimming [it's a pratical kinesiology course that us 'kins' have to take, plus many others, to graduate (makes you reminisce about elementary and hiskool phys.ed class, dont it?)], then i have a break to eat lunch, until i have my first lecture of the day for 90minutes...then a big break where i workout and run and/or study/do homework/watch a movie in the film library at my skool/sleep etc till i conclude my long ass day with another 90 minute lecture. then im on my way back home. wednesdays, i have this 2 hour rock class where i just listen to music for the whole duration.
so basically, once my week starts (tuesday), i have this one class in the middle (wednesday) then a repitition of what happened on tuesday (thursday) then my weekend. this is how i envisioned 4th year to be. just cruising...ahh yes. but then again, i really shouldnt sleep nor underestimate my courses...they are 4th year courses where im supposed to specialize my field of study..and that is a lot of money...alot of my gatdam money.

but back to swimming...the instructor is breaking down swimming into it's most basic form. oh yea, sure we're gonna have to do 100 lengths/hr by the end of the semester but rite now..it's all bout the fundamentals.

so as i was saying..i can swim..i can move..i can move and swim..with the help of momentum. but when he said to float...whoa...i, and about 1/4 of the other guys in my class just suck ass.
me specifically, cause of my body type, genetics or fat deposition or all of the above just tends to sink like a rock. floating, still (i.e inert..i.e inmoving)..on the surface of the water just aint my thing.
although i felt outcast, i was assured, by the lifeguard who took me aside and tried to help me 'float', that this case happens alot and no..im not alone.
several of the football players sunk too...and afro-canadian (the afro-american counterpart) students cant either. although they can all swim..they cant float. whatta phenomenon!!!
but dont the two go together?? not necessarily, my friends...that's, like i said, where momentum becomes my best friend.

anyhow, more on this later..i hope everyone's doing good and enjoying their studies.
if not you can all just keep your suffering to yourself, and instead, admire me as i bask glorious rays of my passion we all know as kinesiology.

i study movement, gatdammit, now let me take note of you getting the hell outta my way!

oh yea...VA, im coming at'cha (hopefully, soon)!!!

p.s. and i was hoping i could say that my penis was so huge, it weighs me down like an anchor...it turns out, it's just my dense-ass lower body.
be buoyant, dammit..buoyant!
be one with the water.
be the water!!

yea, right.


[that's me.
