just another journal of thoughts

Houston

February2

Yesterday I played a match. A tennis match. The girl I played was so sweet and kind.

I stepped forward as he called my name. “Keegan McCain!” He shouted over the dozens of tennis players there. “3 sets. Ad scoring. 3rd set tie break. I walked to the court next to my opponent, the wind blowing into our faces. She was much shorter than me by about 2 feet. I spun the racket and she choose return. So it was my serve-into the wind. The biggest advantage I could get, so I walked up to the line. Threw the ball up into the air and with all my strength used my win-or-go-down-fighting serve.

That’s when the point started. She returned the ball easily and I slammed the shot at her backhand. She looked worried and hit it back with the same look on her face. I hit straight at her and she ducked, scared to return the shot I had chosen. I didn’t move. Instead I focused on my thoughts. “Why is she playing worse than she did in the first round?”I thought to myself. “What’s going on?” I immediately thought. Then I looked at her. She looked tired and nervous. Her hair was blowing in all different directions and her eyes had bags under them. Like she didn’t sleep at all.

After the match I had won 6-2 6-1. She was shuffling from all the running and dropped her racket bag to organize it. I looked back and saw her organizing so I turned back around and kept walking to the front desk. “You play tomorrow at 9:40 am. Be here at around 8:30.” The umpire said.

This morning I got up at 7. I ate and got going. I went to tennis practice but it started pouring. The rain would stop for about 2 minutes at a time. I didn’t get to play a match so right now I’m in the car driving on my way home to Austin.

Weather

January16

The summer storm howled as the wind knocked the trees, racking their branches across the windows, making the noise that sounded like nails on a chalkboard. I saw the flash of bright white light on the ceiling above my bed. Then a clap of thunder, like a bass drum 20 times it’s own sound. I looked outside of the big window above my bed, and could see nothing but pure black. I saw the car beside the garage, with the light from the garage dancing on it’s tinted windows. I hear the howling of coyotes, just barely, over the loud crashes of thunder and the howling wind. I closed my eyes but could not sleep. The rain was to loud, with it’s clapping and it’s flash every 10 seconds, but I managed to slowly drift off.

I woke up the next morning with light coming in through the windows, with a strip of light through the darkness in my room. I slowly stand up and walk down the pale, white carpeted hallway, then the stars after that. I walk into the bright kitchen with fruit on the table and the beige walls but I continue towards the door and walk outside. The smell of rain is overwhelming, while I hear the birds chirping their early morning songs. Then I realize today is the perfect day.

Tears

November25

Sorrow is the black of the coal dust
It tastes like a thousand tears
It smells like the darkened coal dust on the path home
It feels like the searing pain of work and no sleep
It sounds like the screaming of a thousand men shouting for rebellion
It looks like the black, powder, on the streets to the hob
Sadness is as black as the night skies

Place

November10

My favorite place in my neighborhood is the oak forest above the cliff, just so you can see the tops of the trees, above the river. The way the trees bow to the wind is like its own kingdom and it’s amazing to hear the wind blow in spirals and swirls. I love this noise because it just makes me concentrate on one thing and is just as if the wind wants to makes everything dance with it. Sometimes I go to this spot to sing because I don’t like crowds watching me sing or write in my journal that I keep at hidden somewhere safe.

If you enjoyed this I will add more to it. Comment below and happy commenting!!!!

🍬🍬Happy Halloween🍬🍬

October31

Part 1
It’s Halloween guys. The costumes, the candy, the screams and the friendly neighbors. I can’t wait till we start trick-or treating. Here’s the downer part about it this year…. It’s on a Thursday!!😔
I wish there was a way that it could be on a Friday every year. I’m going to be a vampire this year with my fangs, black cape and of course my awesome outfit. I’m going to scare some kids this year too😄. It’ll be fun. I promise.

🎃👻Have a Happy Halloween👻🎃

Part 2
How was everyone’s Halloween? I know mine was great!! So much candy!! This is what my face looked like after eating about half of it 0_o!!! I’m so ready for next year.

Halloween Front Porch

October25

I walked forward through the trees as the little girl walked towards the dark and creepy house, with the black cat meowing and staring at her through the window. She looked around but I was blended in with the scenery. The flickering candles suddenly blew out with the autumn wind and she whimpered.
The glowing spider webs showed eight big, unfriendly eyes, shining down. She continued forward, her eyes wide in fear. I shuffled the bushes and the 10 year old screamed. I laughed and she ran to the door clutching her candy bag. I reached out from behind the bushes and brushed her arm, retreating after.
With a look of fear, she dropped her candy bag and ran off. I earned my prize of snickers and twin bars. I heard a scream down the street knowing that was my next victim

My first Tennis tournament

October16

          I stopped and waited. Knowing that this was my moment and that they couldn’t beat my spirit. I was ready physically and mentally. My heart started beating so fast I thought it would burst. The sweat rolled down my forehead as I waited for my opponent to serve and start the point. I turned and rocked back and forth on my heels, my stomach flipping and flopping. She served the ball rocket fast giving me a second to react. I returned and got back to the middle of the court ready for the point to continue. It went on for what seemed like forever then I hit the ball with determination and surprise. The look on her face said everything. I had just hit a winner and won the point. I looked at my racket, the yellow shot back at me, almost as if it was smiling back, proud of me for beating a girl I had played only once before and lost to.
          After the match my dad came and gave me a big hug. He was so proud of me, I had never seen him smile so much. I watched as the man in blue walked over to me carrying a huge gigantic blue and gold trophy toward me. This was now mine.

This week

October11

This week was pretty awesome but I can’t wait for this weekend. This weekend I will be, out in the middle of nowhere, camping. I won’t be able to talk to anyone but my family and my neighbors. I can’t wait because I love the outdoors and always am outside.
In California I stayed at my family’s lake house and I was at the beach the entire day playing in the water, splashing around with my cousins or even with my friends Hunter and Trevor. I wish it was still summer but I’ll be fine I mean I love school so who cares. Summer is only about 9 months away 😔. Time to deal with it.
Also while I’m camping I get to have fun. There’s plenty of things to do in the wilderness. To bad I can’t take my dog with me. She would love it out there.

Well bye for now!!!!

Activities I Enjoy

October11

My favorite activity is playing tennis with my friends and riding horses on my ranch. Everyday I’ll go and play tennis with my friend Jackson. I love playing with him because he helps me improve at my game. Which is not very good.

I love my horse because he helps me improve my riding and he makes me happy. Whenever I can I go and visit him because he lives about an hour away.
