Well, seeing as how it seems that NOBODY else has ANYTHING happy to say these days, ill take it upon myself! HAH!
this first part isnt going to sound too cheery, but just keep reading kids!
So, ive been pretty damn sick since like last thursday...it just came on randomly in study hall, and i had the hockey practice from hell that night...but Friday...day of recovery cause we got a snow day...so i got enough betterer to go to the ASHLEY'S house for the show that night..the show kicked a lot of ass, my old band, Mr. Molotov, played, and called me onstage to sing Holiday in Cambodia with em, yeah, we rocked that place, no doubt, and i hada blaaasst! and then East GReat Falls had a pretty kick ass set too! a late night serenade pretty much blew, big surprise there! hah, but, during their set i got to hang out with Kristen a good amount, i really dig that girl, she is defintely pretty cool. After the show, me and J-Alt hopped a ride with Nancy to our game. and WE WON...we beat milton hershey 9-4...kick ass, our first win!
Saturday....hung out all day, cause i still felt like crap..but then i went to dinner with big CD and his family and some other friends for his EIGHTEENTH BIRTHDAY!!! hell yeah CHRIS DEGRANGE, i love that guy! i wish we could have had a party for him like theyy had for me!..then after that...i went home for a little bit, until about nine, when Kristen got off work, and she came and picked me up....we drove around ..to wherever, we just drove, to the mountains, and we looked at christmas lights, and listened to music and talked.....man oh day, what a fun girl she is! siiiggghhhh
Sunday-today-still sick, sicker then the usual, so i didnt go out to get the christmas tree with the rest of the fam..and when i ate...i puked it up...so iw atched football....nothing too exciting about today....but...it wasnt bad i guess, after a night to boost my spirits like the past two...i needed a chill day i think....
back to school tomorrow...ohhhh wellll....
i hope the rest of you kids have a better day tomorrow

Hmmm this weekend...overall....i dont know
friday night, we had a hockey game, us, without a win, and the other team, CD EAst, undefeated. i went into the game feeling incredibly apprehensive, but the game wasnt too terrible, we hung with em for the most part, but...in the end, their extra legs really showed...score at the end of the first was 0-0, score at end of the second 4-1...score at the end of the game 9-2...ouch...
saturday...didnt do much, woke up late, hung out and watched tv until around 7 ish or whenevr it was that ericc schott picked me up, but then we went out a little bit, longboarded some with some kids around wal-mart...then picked up his girl, Sam, after her play at CV was over...then we went to the middlesex diner, ..and then we dropped her off, and me and schott went on to hang out the rest of the night doing various things..
sunday, came home from hanging out with schott....i watched the freakin disappointing steelers game....(goddamnit)...and then just sat around doing homework and listenin to music until dinner....ate dinner, and now, here i sit....still doing some homework and listenin to music
Oh yeah! last night, at Wal-mart, me and ericc schott bought Spud Shooters for 88cents...i was skeptical, but we each bought a spud shooter and a potato each....they are very simple devices that pack a powerful punch of fun! we rock, quite frankly. i also bought two new Duncan yo-yos, i love it
school tomorrow, fuck, i hate school...then hockey game tomorrow night, December 5th, Twin Ponds West in Mechanicsburg, we play Susquehanna Twp, at 8:00...you should come, it should be a decent game.

so this thanksgiving...was the best...and the worst, details are unnecessary, but lets just say that i really like being able to do without dockers and dress shoes, but i would rather have been able to do without hospital visits and missed phone calls.
but this break...ive realized that, theres people that i should give more credit to these days, and i should get my head out of my ass. really i should.
and i also realized that, i have some friends that i really really enjoy the company of, that i dont hang out with enough, ie, seeing Ryan, Meghan and big CD after practice on monday, and then going to the hockey game with them after all, yeah...i really like those kids
hmm i dont know, im not looking forward to going back to school, but i guess the sooner we go back, the sooner christmas break comes....meaning the sooner the new years comes, meaning....holy shit it will be 2006
man oh day

Im really glad everyone who came out, came out, and i hope everyone else had a blast. cause i know i did! you guys rock! i dont really remember a lot of it, you guys will have to refresh me on some of it, but i know i had a freakin blast! and i know that i rock a mean game of beer pong, so bring it on!

News Flash**
1-We got killed in our first game last night, by central dauphin...a tier one team..a REALLY REALLY good tier one team...it didnt count, but...it still sucked...they had thirty seven players...we had ten...but we still managed to score two goals on em! woohoo!
2-I resigned my position as singer for Mr. Molotov the other night, our musical influences were just too different and it was nearly impossible for us to write songs...and it just wasnt workin out...but those guys are still REALLY AWESOME, and REALLY AWESOME friends of mine!
But if you know of any bands in the are looking for a frontman...hit me up!

Wow, its been forever and a day since i hit this bitch up. But i always say basically that same thing, so its nothing new.
Life these days is pretty drab. school sucks balls, just as it always did. i hate the atmosphere of it all, and for the most part, i hate the kids there. But im learning, so mission accomplished i suppose.
Other than that, my life consists of, playing hockey (first game tomorrow!), longboarding, making college visits, and rockin with my band (which is getting iffy these days)..while all that sounds incredibly exhilarating, i must assure you, its not...hockey bites this year, and im sick of hearing about college..and with the band, im starting to think that i dont belong in mr molotov...i dont know..but longboarding is still tons of awesome, and i love the fall, so ill keep my head up
i also havent seen Kirsten since september twenty fifth..THAT sucks, but hopefully within the next week i should be getting to visit with her some, and i cant wait..what a swell gal she is.
umm lets see...oh, my brother opened up his tattoo shop, TATTOOED HEART, in Glenn Burnie, MD a little while ago...and they just got a really cool site up and running for it too, www.tattooedheart.com ...you should go and check it out! im really proud of my brother, he f-in rocks!
In any event, im still keepsin it real yo, so its all swell, right?

i still stand for my argument that missing someone is one of, if not THE worst feelings EVER.
i have never missed anyone like this, and it seriously sucks
no doubt someone out there knows what im feeling
i wish it would stop, right now though, right now
who's Tower City to hoard her from me? who do they think they are?
aaaaaacccck....sorry about the drag entry, i just dont know where else to exert my frustration right now, i really miss Kirsten, and that thought is just on an endless loop through my mind that just keeps killing me over and over again....

Catch 22-"Kristina Dont Know I Exist" |
] |
Oh man, what a weekend.
Friday night, i was supposed to hang out with tony frenchvanilla, and have a special listening session to the new coheed, but that didnt happen, cause i ended up running off with mr schott, we hung out for a little while, did some hiking, did some other "outdoors" consuming...and then he dropped me off at the game...carlisle vs CV....it was fun, but we lost..F cv..losers...then i went to dunkin donuts with sean, chris, joe, annie, lauren, and some other cool kids....then schott picked me back up at the school, and i forget where we went after that, and we eneded up crashin at his place. to go to hidden valley in the morning...but...
then on saturday, we were supposed to go to HVSR for the day...but we decided to blow that off, and just go hiking all day, so thats what we did, we grabbed our water and our greens and hit the trail, we hiked the appalachian trail pretty much all day long, and did some climbing, it was a lot of fun, just the two of us, and the outdoors....
when i got home around 6....my mom told me that my grandma past away the night before.....what a bad ending to such a good day....it makes me real sad that she died, but it also puts my mind at ease, shes been in a lot of pain for quite some time now, so now that shes gone, i know shes better off and feeling better now...she lived a full life, and im happy for her now..this means i may be missing school on monday, and definitely tuesday...while ill be happy to be out of school, the reason is a bummer
today though, i woke up early, cause i couldnt sleep....i watched football, and then this afternoon i had my P2P (europe trip) reunion....that made me happy, it was good to see everyone again...and i got to see my MOST favorite girl EVER....Kirsten...ahhhh.....i really really really miss that girl, and after not seeing her last weekend, that just killed even more....but i finally got to see her today, and even though we didnt get tos pend any real time together, cause her mom was there, and the other people...i still got a bunch of terrific hugs, and some other satisfying secrets that will remain silently mine...gaaaaaah i am in total like with that girl, and so much more.
in bummer news...the steelers lost....damnit....
what a weekend...my feelings feel so out of wack and torn right now....

holy fuck, what a weekend.
friday night, was insane, and quite a story, i dont feel like typing it right now..so ask me in person sometime, and if youre cool enough to know my stories, ill tell you...otherwise, back up, punk
saturday, i had to recover from friday, so i stayed in, and watched football all day
sunday....today....what a let down..if you see me daily in school,or even if you are a loyal friend that doesnt see me too often... no doubt you know what iw as looking forward to...welll...she couldnt come, i didnt see her....and now...i cant remember the last time i was this sad and this bummed out. i hate the feeling of missing someone..it fuckin sucks...it sucks even more when theres not a goddamn thing i can do about it...
not even longboarding cheered me up today....not even longboarding
tonight...ill remain locked in my room with alkaline trio's good mourning album on high
perhaps im taking it too hard or something, i dont know..all i know is..this feeling sucks, my apologies, also i think my bummed out ness...is also a combination of...me coming to the realization that i have a problem trusting people..like..believing what people say...i do a lot of doubting people when they tell me stuff these days...i dont like the feeling of doubt either
damn, im going to end this morbid, hopeless romantic entry now, off to school tomorrow...fuck

Ohhh gosh
Its freakin saturday...the first saturday of the school year
Last night was pretty damn cool....i started off my weekend with going to Nick Smiths house to meet with the guys of Mr. Molotov...i watched them jam for a little bit, we talked, and well, it seems ive found myself in a new band...which is awesome...ive joined the ranks of Mr. Molotov with, Gus W. on guitar, Corey W. on guitar, Paul W. on bass, Nick S. on drums...and Ian G. rockin the mic....coool shit...and a big thank you to ms Meghan W. for hookin me up with these guys, dropping my name at the right time, haha.
after that, i went home for awhile...and readied myself for skating and the f-ball game...then i went to David Doodys house to meet up with him and Alek Azam...we skated around on our longboards for awhile before we made our way over to the school..there i met up with joe l. and chris d. and we went into the game....we played mechanicsburg...we fucking killed mechanicsburg, i had to leave before it was over, but when i left it was 34-0 ..thats nuts....
then me and alek azam, and david and bandana brian longboarded around carlisle for a little bit....intense stuff...
i ended up going out to aleks place with doody, and we skated a lot..bombing a bunch of crazy insane hills...goodyear road in gardners is greeeaaaatttt
today was pretty uneventful, after i left aleks, i havent done anything all day....so im looking forward to tomorrow, where hopefully im going to the Championship to see EAST LAME BALLS!...AKA East Great Falls! im going to support some friends..they are real cool cats..and then going to the afterparty afterwards hopefullly
then on monday, hopefully gettting together for a Mr Molotov practice...noitch!
and somewhere in all this, i have to get some homework done, and a project started! god damn
Oh and also, for those of you who are interested....ive quit poking smot for now....im only quitting for a few months, i really dont want to, but i gotta...with hockey season starting up, i want to quit for myself, because i think itll help me perform on the ice better...and im also quitting because ive heard talk of the school doing random drug testings this year for sports..

Boy howdy! School, what a crazy place. Seriously though, i dont think ive disliked school this much, ever, especially so earlier in the year...its kind of weird, makes me feel bad. Haha....but seriously, f school, f it real hard.
heres how it looks...
first period bio II, i like mr strine...hes a cool guy, seems kind of strict on some things that sound quite silly to me, but, whatever, its coool.....
then its sociology....i dont like the kids in my class, its really bringin me down, but still mr henry seems like a good guy, right up my alley....
onto law with furness....eh, i think itll be pretty cool, minus my seat assignment..im next to crystal kreamer....i really wouldnt mind it, its just the fact that i know she hates me, makes me sort of uncomfortable...hahaha..seriously though...
then i go to psychology...that class is packed, but its going ot be cool im pretty sure, mr clark is real chill ive heard...
then lunch, then (for the past two days, its been gym) i have a couple cool kids in my gym, should be a good year...
then i go to english, oooh man, i think this is the only class im really worried about...like doing poorly in...but well see, i feel like being a good student this year, since i slacked off so much last year.....
lastlyto finish the day off, i have study hall, everday...sweeeet....monday its with MC guire, and thats AWESOME, that man is the cooolest, i cant wait to talk to him more.
then home
yup....alright,w ell, i guess thats about it, me and the gang, (jonny love, alek azam, doody, and brian maag) hit a bunch of hills today on our longboards after school, it was real fun, a great time! i loooooove my longboard....i named her Haley....as in Haleys comet, i thought it was clever, and i dig it, "Kenya dig it?"

HOLY SHIT its friday. the 26th of august to be precise. Today is actually the day i can legally go to get my license, finally. BUT, since ive been gone most of these past six months, with camp, europe, and other random places ive been hittin up, i havent gotten much time to drive. In fact, ive only been on the actual road like twice...its pretty sad. But i should have my license by my birthday, or at least i freakin hope so.
Ohh my birthday, its going to be fun times when ian turns eighteen. i plan to give my mother an ultimatum(sp?)...im either getting a tattoo or im getting my lip pierced...and if she doesnt go for either one of em, well, then shes going to end up being a very pissed off mum, cause, one of them IS going to happen, gosh darnit!
Maaaan oh day, school starts on monday. I havent read either of my summer reading books, and i was told that my english teacher is going to make us do essays for both on the first day of school....im pretty much screwed i think. thank god for sparknotes and the likes thereof!
My mom has just informed me that we are going to go school shopping tomorrow haha, good, i need shoes and a backpack, damnit!
Anyway, i cant wait to see all your beautiful faces again back at the ol CHS on monday, i dont think im going to shower until at least tuesday, i want to smell bad and make bad first impressions on the first day. ill catch you kids later, im going to roll in some mud.
