okey dokey, time to go



cheers!

My grandparents' house

soo cool

and soo confusing

So I'm off to a youth group trip on Monday. That shall be quite cool...off to Staten Island...pretty coolio. Not totally sure what to expect, since the details are a little fuzzy, but whatever happens, it'll be a good experience.

In other news, I decided to go biking today. When I say biking, I mean BIKING. I spent the whole day biking into Boston, then around Boston, had some lunch, explored, then finally back home. Pretty much about 25 miles in total....COOLIO. My legs were a bit fatigued afterward. I like collapsed on my couch, but then went out to play a little volleyball later. What can I say? I just have endless energy. In any case, I try to never admit that I'm tired (even if I am).

So, yes, my right toe has officially worn through the bottom of my shoe. Very odd happening, seeing that I like just got these shoes, and the left one seems just fine. Hmmmmm....maybe I walk crooked.(?)

Just finished Rent. Such a good movie. Closest I've come to crying in a while (yes, I do [sometimes] cry from movies). It's those movies when you feel like you have some connection to that make them seem so good.

Songs are much coooooler, though. To be able to move somebody through lyrics and notes takes more skills than inveloping someone in the plot of a movie. Now I'm like obsessed with the song "Crazy", by Gnarls Barkley. Such good use of instruments, plus some interesting lyrics.

But, yeah, that pretty much wraps it up here. Such a boring (and amazingly unplanned) week to come. Maybe I can fill it with the things I've always waited to do. We'll see.

bye.

time to post

What is it? It's...something cool.

But, yeah, nothing new here. Just went to my LAST DAY OF SCHOOL. Got all my final scores. Crashed and burned. You know, the norm.

Heading off to go camping in a few days. (wow, actually, like, tomorrow!!!). Shall be interesting. Hope I don't get eaten by a bear.

OH YEAH, and I'm obsessed with this new song by Five for Fighting, called "The Riddle". It's mad crazy awesome, and everyone should get it.

Then it's off to Alaska. Spain would be much more cooler (and hotter), but my parents refuse to go, even though my graduating sister requested it.

Ah well, life is tough sometimes. The only thing that makes it tougher is thinking about it.

I shall be a Junior. Crazy, crazy.

more to come...

back to the pictures

(this one's pretty straight-foreward)


It's finally here. You know, I'll be posting about this for the next three months. It's finally summer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm still in shock.
I have like...all the time in the world to do....everything (but I'll end up doing nothing)

I went after my last final (yay) to develop some photos, and it turns out I was doing it for like two hours. It was soooo fun. I managed to come up with four prints in those two hours (wow, I'm soooooo sloooowww), but I'm most definetly going to go tomorrow too (even though I'm not even going to be in school at all).

Today, went to the cemetary to give my frog friend in my backyard pond a few friends. I got a few awkward looks from the security guard, but it was all good. Three brand new (huge) tadpoles in my little backyard pond now. Coooooolll...

Then I came home and had the most awkward conversation on the phone...but then I went to Volleyball at the Y and BEASTED. It was crazy awesome (not to mention fun...yes, volleyball [finally] is fun)

listening to "Beautiful Love". Such an amazing song. Cool music video tooo...

Mwahhhh soo annoying... I've been looking foreward to this moment for soooo long, but now I know it'll be gone before I have time to really enjoy it. This Summer hurries to next year. High School hurries to College, 20's hurry to 40's. There's nothing you can do to stop it. When I was about 12, I began thinking, no matter what, we all are going to end up in the same place. Sort of scary, no matter how hard you try, no matter how strong you are, you can't escape that fate. So, why are we so scared of it if we can't avoid it? I guess it's the fear of not knowing what's around the corner. Ah well...

So, that's my philisophic thinking for the day.

I'm pretty tired, but seeing that I don't have school tomorrow, I can SLEEP IN!!!! Sweet. Can't think of anything else to write...so

bye

Sooooo...

It's finally SUMMMMMEEEERRRR

I've been waiting the whole year for this day (even though I still have a history final to take).

But today was such a miserable failure. I hate "scantron" tests, and I think I like failed my chem test. The Latin wasn't that hard, though. The hardest part was sitting through Ms. Carp lecturing/yelling at us. It was all fun, though. So, I think I did pretty well on that.

Today was super-hot. low 80's today, mid-to-high 80's tomorrow, and 90's on Sunday. So freaking seasonal. I love it.

Goin to the beach (hopefully) tomorrow. Then, next thing to look foreward to is goin back to school Thursday to see all my friends again. Then off to Summer it is.



I cant wait.

really buisy

I gotta make this short, as I have two really tough finals tomorrow, one of which I haven't started studying for. So, yeah, like the past week has been so stressfull. This week, I've been saying to myself "you did the best you could" a lot. I usually promise myself that I'll do better next time, but I always end up doing worse. So, long story short, I think I didn't do too well on a few of my finals. Actually, I don't think I did great on any of them. I guess it shows my attitude that I've had this year... "I'll do better next time". Soooo....Chem and Latin tomorrow. I've gotta do well on them.

More to come later

...and it was all down-hill from there...

Graduation really sucks. Prom and hummer-limos are wicked awesome.

It evens out.

Ok, so not any pictures this time, but I should be makin some on Thursday, so that'll be gooood...

In other news, I've had an exciting weekend. Ok, so if sister graduating/grandparents coming up isn't enough, I went to the boys, regional semi-final volleyball game on Saturday. We weren't supposed to win this game, since we won like half our games and lost like half our games, and the other team had been like undefeated the whole season... but somehow we managed to pull it off. Wow, just thinking about how angry the other team must have been at themselve makes me laugh. So, now, we're on to regional finals... (another team who is about the same ranking as the one we just beat)... and it shall be exciting, except for the fact that I can't go because it's like 2 hours away and I'm having dinner w/ the grandparents (wow ranting...)

Sooo....that'll be exciting.

I went on a very long run today, the longest since I ended indoor track. Running is so relaxing. Seven mile runs are like wicked easy if you just have a positive attitude. Running just gets me in such a good mood too. Idk, running can be very painful at times, but it's well worth the pain that you have to go through. Words can’t describe it. It’s just so peaceful and fun/relaxing.


I can't wait until the Summmmmmer..... only 2 weeks left.

wow, the moon's out...

bye

and another...
I have to admit, I did use a bit of computer editing/cropping for this one. The picture's a little dark and hard to understand, but it was one that I took at night with a really long exposure on my tripod. It's pretty cool, but a little hard to see. The actual picture (vs. what it looks like scanned in) is a lot cooler than what it looks like. I'm running low on pictures, as this is my last semi-good one that I have developed so far. I've gotta go in and develop some more.

I think I'm stuck in one of those moments when I can't stop thinking every song is describing my life. You know, that warmth that you feel when you can connect a song..or poem...or something when it parallels your life. It's pretty sad, because maybe these songs are making me feel this way. Maybe I listen to these songs so much that I get stuck basing my life around them. I don't know. Whatever.

Can't think of what else to write.....
My day:
6:30-wake up
7:30-off to school
8:30-Finishing and failing (more like acing) a math test
9:30-Forced torture with in-class English paper
10:30-Chemistry class- thinking about how I'm gonna fail the SAT II's tomorrow
11:30-Refuel for the rest of the day (lunch)
12:30-Zoning out in Spanish... "Mike...que significa exito para ti?" *stares*
1:30-Latin...in the INTERNATIONAL CAFE... the best (or at least coldest) place in our school
2:30-5:30...Stupid SAT II prep test w/ my chem teacher
5:30-9:15...worryin...thinkin...beggining a stuuupid movie...then here

wow....not like anyone needed to know that...

but the question remains... “¿que significa éxito para ti?”

bye

I am who *you* want me to be (I try too hard to be that person)

Here's another...

(of a tree)

Ok, so SAT II's on Saturday (I'm gonna die), but then it's all down-hill from there. What will happen will happen, and I can't change that. A wicked small amount of homework this week, but I've been procrastinating soo much. So it all evens out. now gotta go work on my homework.

(btw, the title has been like my life for the past 3 years)
(if anyone can understand it)
