| Well, how 'bout that... I haven't updated in about 2 and a half months. How time does fly. Well, things that have changed since then: -I'm at ACA again somehow. -I got a new car, a white '01 Jeep Grand Cherokee -I got a haircut -I turned 17 -And this is what I look like now  That's really about it. Life's pretty good right now I guess, except for football. I'm trying really hard, but Friday we never dropped below a 30 point lead the entire second half, and I still only got in the game for three plays. Now, if this was a game situation I'd just take it in stride, but there's not really any way I could have hurt my team by that point, and they still wouldn't play me. I'm not that bad an athelete either, at least compared with the rest of them. I seriously considered quitting, it sort of shook me up, but I've decided to stick with it a while and see if I can't do anything about it. Besides football, things are great; good grades, no problems at home, and even the music world is pulling out of a long slump and spitting out some good stuff. I jus hope things can keep on like this for a while. Well, I'm about talked out, so leave me a comment, I'd like to get back in touch with whoever actually checks this. Peace. | | |
| Hey everybody. In about an hour I'll be on the road to the beaches of Destin, Florida, and I won't be back until the 4th or 5th of July. I'll try to get some pictures of the trip up here when I get back. Well, keep it cool, I'll be back soon. | | |
| What's up everybody. It's been a long time since I've updated, but better late than never. School finally ended, and everything turned out fine. Deadlines were met, grades were made, etc. I've got a realy exciting piece of news too; I'm coming back to ACA, after a year of homeschooling. I'm glad this is happening, even though there are definitely aspects of homeschooling I'll miss, I've missed all the people and sports, it'll be really good to be back. Well, just 15 days until the youth group leaves for Destin, Florida. I can't wait for that either, my mom said that the beach there is awesome, and I really do love the beach. Last night I talked on the phone to that sexiest of sailors, Vic, which was good. Can't wait to spend a few days up at the beach with him and my family. Other than the beach trips, this summer I've got a pretty nice job to look forward to; it'll be hard work, but good pay, and I'll hopefully be making around a thousand dollars a month. Plus, I'll be working it with two of my good buddies, so the work day'll be that much quicker. Other than that, there isn't a whole lot going on with me, I'm just enjoying the opportunity to relax before working. So, leave a comment, I'm out. | | |
| Hm, I've let myself forget about Xanga again. Where to start... well, due to my end of the year school load I'm not going to be able to go anywhere for the remainder of this week and all of the next, but then I should be good to go. So, the youth trip to the beach is coming up soon, that should be awesome because on the day that everybody else leaves, my family is gonna come up with that sexiest of sailors, and we'll continue a beach vacation with them, bringing our stay at Destin up to a total of eight days. I have high hopes of snagging a mer-person while I'm there, I don't really care which gender, they all taste good in cocktail sauce. I also wanna get a henna tattoo while I'm up there if possible, for those of you who don't know what a henna tattoo is, it's a fake tattoo that will stay on for like a month unless you remove it with petroleum jelly or something. I'm saving up money for that, it should be awesome. I'm really, really looking forward to summer, I just can't wait, this school year has been rough for a number of reasons. Well, keep it cool everyone.

| Well, it's been a while since I've updated, so I guess is will. What can I say, the last couple of weeks have been pretty good overall; school isn't exactly letting up, but I'm getting it done alright, despite what everybody thinks... I'm having to read Hard Times by Charles Dickens, and it's really depressing, but Dickens is a awesome writer so it's all good. I read another goo book too, The Oath, by Frank Peretti. Work has been good too, I've done a good bit over the last two weeks and I get payed again this week, that's gonna be sweet. I'm also going to be paid soon for taking care of Tom McCain's cats for a few days while he was gone, so yeah, I'm being bombarded by money. I found out the other day that everybody (aka youth group peeps) is gonna go swimming at the country club today, but I already made plans for this afternoon so I can't go to that, it's a shame. Oh yeah, don't forget about he Pancake Supper tonight youth group, we need to be at church by like four right? Well, take care of yourself everybody. | | |

Sounds of Silence
|
Simon & Garfunkel - Sounds Of Silence Hello darkness, my old friend
I've come to talk with you again
Because a vision softly creeping
Left its seeds while I was sleeping
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence
In restless dreams I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone
'Neath the halo of a street lamp
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
That split the night
And touched the sound of silence
And in the naked light I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more
People talking without speaking
People hearing without listening
People writing songs that voices never share
And no one dared
Disturb the sound of silence
"Fools", said I, "You do not know
Silence like a cancer grows
Hear my words that I might teach you
Take my arms that I might reach you"
But my words, like silent raindrops fell
And echoed
In the wells of silence
And the people bowed and prayed
To the neon god they made
And the sign flashed out its warning
In the words that it was forming
And the sign said, "The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls
And tenement halls"
And whispered in the sounds of silence
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
