itchy

what are mosquitoes for? this is an honest question. really. i mean, do they serve a purpose, or are they one of the things that God curse man with when Adam sinned?.... along with disease, death, and poverty. the only reason i ask this is because there are thousands of mosquito bites currently residing on my body. and it's not comfortable... at all. i mean, it would be one thing if mosquitoes ate cockroaches or spiders or something, but i'm pretty sure they don't. unless it was some sort of African Hopping Mosquito, that could probably eat me, if it tried. anyways, any answers would be warmly welcomed.

i had homework tonight. usually, i rush through my work, carelessly, because there are other things that i'd rather be doing. but tonight there was nothing else i even had to do. so homework was my only option. so i took my time and did a good job, besides, a job isn't worth doing if you don't do your best, right? something like that...

soccer was quite a treat today. [/sarcasm] we started the day with 6 laps around the field, which is roughly a mile and a quarter or two. which really isn't that bad, but we all ran it quite fast, and it became tiring very quickly. after the lap running, we did sprints. suicides, to be precise. i think that suicides are the most feared and hated breed of sprints known to mankind, for every sport. after our first round, the format of the suicide was changed up a bit, into something now known to me as the "Slide-Tackle Suicide". it even sounds scary. it's exactly like a regular suicide, except at the points where you'd normally touch your hand to the ground, you do a slide tackle. now, the sliding isn't the challenging part. in fact, it can become sort of fun. it becomes a nightmare when you continuously have to pick yourself up and begin sprinting again. bleh. the rest of the practice was concluded with an hour of so of drills. it was alright.

anyhow, it's time for my sports physical. wee. have a good night everyone. and...be safe.. and stuff.

enjoy.

male mosquitos pollinate plants... not that that justifies what the female mosquitos do to us.
