Christmas!

Yay! Yesterday was Christmas. Children were all excited around the world to open their presents, parents watched on and felt satisfied just to see the excitement and happiness on their children's faces. Christmas! The day of happiness, giving, receiving and relaxation with your family and friends. But where was I? On a tennis court with a grumpy old men, animals disguised as little kids, and little old ladys who can make an hour seem like years...Christmas was great! lol...
All wasn't lost tho, it paid off in the end with all the tips and money from my parents. My job doesn't suck crusty ass all the time. I have fun for the most part. I get to go on the court and have a blast with people from all over the world. They all have different and exciting stories to tell about their lives. The kids on the other part are always a hassle. I feel more like a babysitter rather than a tennis coach. The parents would drop their kids off at the gate and run back to their villas, and leave me with the animals in tennis clothing. I have some fun times with them tho. I dunno how much tennis they learn, but we play dodge ball, 'who could hit the ball the hardest', we have water fights, or we would just sit around talking about nothing. I think I'm doing a good job because I haven't killed anyone yet and I'm getting tons of tips!

First Post!

Yeah, this is the long-awaited launch of Vince's World! Haha! I got bored at home for the holidays so I'm just going to write about stuff that's on my mind and going on around here. I have a dope fresh life here on the Caribbean island of Anguilla. In my head, I run the place. So I back out into streets without looking. Yesterday someone hit my car while I was showing off the speed of my father's car to my cousin. I tried to settle things with the other driver. I told him that I'll take care of all the damages, and I'll pay for his food that was spilt. The dummy ended up still calling the cops. Within 5 mins, the police were asking me for a statement, while my parents, aunt, uncle, cousins, and siblings watched from the sidelines. Even tho I knew that it was my fault the accident happened, I made it seem like I was doing a harmful turn, and the speeding car came out of nowhere and hit me. After all the statements, measuring, and threatening looks, we decided on a court date and went our separate ways. That night I decided that I needed a stress reliever, so I bought a cheap bottle of wine, and went to a popular night spot and forgot about everything else. Yes. I became an alcoholic!

In all seriousness. I nearly died last night. I didn't see my life flash before my eyes or anything, but being close to death gives you a better realization of life. It reminds you to live every day as it was your last because it really could be. I could have died without letting special people in my life know that I loved them and really appreciated everything that they do and are doing for me. I also wanted to let my not so favourite people know that I forgive them, and life is too short to carry on a grudge over things that don't even matter today. I also realized that I haven't done half the things that I really wanted to do. But except for doing them, I spend my days laying around and being unproductive. I found out that if I died I would miss my friends more than anything, especially my very special friend, I realized last night that I love her more than life itself. So I know you hear this a lot. Live every day as if it was your last, say the things you are thinking, you might not have another chance to. Don't procrastinate! Go fulfil your dreams and goals! I know I will.
