Friends Vs. Dream body

Hello people, I've just come back from the gym. Talking about that, today it was the 21st day i spent hitting the gym, so there's only 9 missing to complete #41 of my list =D. Today it wasn't an usual day ... my friend Simone came !! He hasn't come to the gym for ages !! For the first time after a lot of time, my friends and I were all together hitting the gym. Everything was fine 'till the last exercice, we simply had to do 15 min of cyclette but then Patrizio started to joke, he stoped my cyclette a lot of times forcing me to restart everytime, the same did I on revenge, and Simone joined the joke as well, at the beggining it was fun but then it started to be annoying, we were wasting way to much time and energies doing nothing, Simone understood it and stoped but Patrizio is addicted to jokes, when he starts doing'em he just doesn't know when to stop, he always cross the line and he ends up making one of his friends angry, this time it was me !! Thanks to Patrizio i ended up not doing the exercice well ... and that's not all, checking on the schedule later i found out he made us skip two exercices, how can i get my dream body without doing the exercices i should?! I put the gym on my list for 2 reasons:
Doing something with my friends and getting my dream body, what should i do if one of them goes against the other? Anyway maybe i'm just too dramatic, i've been to the gym 21 times and that's the first time something like that happens ... but from these 21 times we've not been all together for more than 5 ! Maybe Patrizio is even more annoying when Simone is there.

Hitting the gym

Guys, i've been studying like crazy these days due to several (a lot, actually) tests i had to take at school, so i almost left gym, i just didn't have time for it. Since today I don't have school, yesterday i was able to finally go to the gym :) .... It was incredibly tough, i didn't remember gym to be so tough ! I wasn't even able to do everything i should ... and so my friend, but (excluding yesterday) he went to the gym a couple of days before while i went there only a week before. To be honest we didn't fancy do a lot of exercices, we wanted something "soft" but our coach prefered to step it up: he made us take heavier weights, do the toughest exercices we could regardless of our schedule, and made us do A LOT of push-ups, at the end we didn't have enough strength to do even one more push-up ... and we cheated (we didn't do exactly the number of push-ups we were supposed to.
But after this incredibly tough day i can finally say ... I've been to the gym 18 times (to cross it out of the list i need to go there 30 times, so the goal is still faraway)

Now that i found out I should (and need) to have fun, what should i do? Leave the boring school and start going out every night? That would be silly, school is as important as boring, regardless of all the time I spend on books (too much, in my opinion).
So how can I have fun if I have no free time? I decided to:
1) Force myself to have some free time (for example "No homework before ..." or "No homework after ...")
2) Inspired by the guys from "The Buried Life", I wrote down a list of 100 things I wanna do before I die. I know my death (hopefully) is far away, but I want to be sure I'm having all the fun I should before it comes, and the points of the list symbolize this goal. By crossing points out of the list I realize I don't live only for books.
I'm working on #41 Go to the gym and survive for at least a month, so far I've been there 15 days,
I'm going to gym with my best friends and we have a lot of fun while making something good for our bodies, the more I go there and the more I think that hitting the gym is a great point for a list like that. Plus I go there 3 times a week so I do something that distract me from books very often but not enough to lower my school marks.  I'll tell you if I succeed ASAP, keep reading my blog for other news,
Chris.

Intro: the sense of life


What's the sense of life? Recently i've been asking this question to myself a lot. Why do we breathe? Why do our hearts beat? Sometimes life may seem something you just foud yourself inside: you take your first breathe, learn to walk and to talk, then you go to school and before you can even notice it you're deciding which work you will do but life must have a sense, it must be something more than school/work and love (for the lucky ones xD). Acording to Pythagoras life is like Olympia's parties:
Some people go there for business (live for money)
Some people go for joining the games (live for doing the work they like the most)
Some for having fun (no need to explain that one)
and some just to watch the games (the philosophers)
I think he was incredible right, even on 21st century if you think, we live for the same reasons !
In which category you belong is up to you, which one do i belong to?
To answer this question i should tell you something first:
I'm a student, and a couple of months ago i had what my friend S. calls a "teenage crisis", I started to ask to myself "What the h*ll am i doing with my life?!" I study very hard and get nice marks, i knew i'm building my future, but what about now? Sadly i found out if i keep that way, when i'll get older and talk to my children about my  adolescence i won't have so many interesting things to tell. I'm not having fun, i'm not doing crazy stuff like only a teen can do, i felt like i live only for school. Something's missing in my life, something so big that in my opinion is the sense of life: The fun. As you can guess I belong to the category that goes to Olimpia's parties to have fun. Of couse money, searching the sense of things (like a philosopher), and doing the work i like the most are very important as well, i'm studying to be able to do the work i love (doctor) and to get some money, and the reason why i'm writting this words is to find the sense of things with you, but i think fun should come at first place. What's the sense of life if you're the richest person in the world but you don't have fun ?!
