We'll never know

I don’t know if I’ll ever believe it, it’s one of those things that will always be in the back of my mind. I grew up watching someone, a hero, who I had always looked up to. It’s not possible for me to say that Lance cheated. I don’t think I’ll ever be able to. My household was a place where he was looked up to. I saw every one of his tour wins. I am part of the generation who, when they thought of cyclists, thought Lance Armstrong. No one mentioned Tyler Hamilton or Levi Leipheimer, ever. Lance has raised an empire, inspiring so many around him, based off of all the struggles he has gone through. I don’t want him to be made a person to look down at because he cheated, so many cheat everyday, but he was caught. And the truth is that, and there’s nothing I can do about it.

summer

Well summers been here, for a bit now, and I have to say, it's no different then the past. I'm stuck at home bored out of my mind, the entire time. My best friend left me, to live this summer alone, as she is off on adventures with her family in Florida, like every other summer. My parents are both working, and I am stuck at home. You may think this provides me with a lot of time to get things done. I'm sorry to say, I am no different than every other teenager, and have no motivation to get chores done. This shouldn't be too surprising, anyway, I've spent most of my time reading books. I ride on a stationary bike for exercise but besides that, nothing exciting has happened. I'll get out of the house maybe twice out of a five day week, to do things like go to the library or to the grocery store. That's about it. Hows your summer?
