| Well people i have no exscuse, but it is not like anyone cares. But on track, wow I haven't updated on this thing in a really, really, really long time. But who cares? Well i can't say I don't, because here I am typing on the computer at 8:30 or so, but I am really to lazy to stop and look at the clock in the bottom right hand corner of the screen. Well on with life. It seems as though as much as I do, it seems that the day still doesn't get any shorter. It is weird how that works out, I mean how can one person do so much, and it seems that while he is doing it there is no time to what he is doing, because what he is doing is something relevant to his life and it really doesn't matter what he is doing as long as he is having fun.
Well the soccer season is over, the basketball season is beggining and school is still there. Well just to make me myself feel better I will bitch at how much I hat math and chemistry. Math really isn't my subject, it never has been, but onto more pressing matters in this subject. I think I am just a little less than like 7 or 8 lessons behind. I don't know which because my mathematical skills. Chemistry as well is another big fish to fry, I mean I am literally trying my hardest to get what we are doing, but it just isn't working. So I have decided to just try my hardest and if that is not good enough for a "A" or a "B" I will just have to do it latter in life in college or just not do it at all. I have come to the conclusion that whatever I do after high school, I hope it is fun and not boring at all. I would rather have a sporadic life and be crazy than have a regular nine to five job that I dread. And whatever it is, No Math, No Chemistry.
Speaking of life after high school, I am thinking that I either I want to go to journalism school, or got into Art Production school. First off J-school would mean that the Unoversity of Missouri would be the for sure place to go, I mean that would be really awesome to go to school where my sister went to and alot people I know went to. But I don't know any one that has gone there for Journalism, But from what I have heard and basic knowledge is that the J-School at MU is top notch. As for going into audio production would mean going out of state for what I want to do. But I really don't know what is really a repuatable school to go to for audio production. What I want is to be a producer even more than going to J-School, I think it would be a dream to work for Capitol Records or Sony as a intern, or a assistant producer on a record. But it would be a dream come true to be a producer on a record.
Speaking of working with producers, it would be an amazing thing to work with a man by the of Neal Avron. He has work with amazing artists such as Good Charlotte, New Found Glory, Yellowcard, Semisonic, Default, Everclear, Lifehouse, Unwritten Lawand as well as many others. But I think that what he did Yellowcard on Lights and Sounds was musical genious. I mean i am biased, but he took them from Ocean Avenue (which he also produced) to Lights and Sounds. In my mind I thought Lights and Sounds was a masterpiece of music. Yes I said masterpiece, you can shun me later but for now this is what I think and I am sticking to it. The way he blended a once pop-punk sounding band with a classical music twist, through violinist Sean Mackin was a treat to had by all. I mean the way the whole cd sounds as if it is one continuos song. It seems as though the record is a awesome melody in my mind it a sort of rock opera that is one for the ages in this genre. Even though this record will be considered a menace in the repertoire of Yellowcard, I think it is an act of genious the way the music and the producing blended so well to make an amazing thing. I only hope that I can do something half as well.
So Long

| Peoples, Peoples, Peoples, What is up?
The good, the bad and the ugly. Hmm first things first. The Good, The soccer season has started. This is kinda wierd, because normally this would be the bad, but on this joyous date it is the good. Well usually soccer is not my most favorite sport, but this year I seem to like it more than ever. Like for example, last year soccer was the fall sport that I played, but it really wasn't like a thing that I would look forward to. But this year I am looking forward to not only because the whole team is awesome (additude wise, as in friends), but I am having more fun this year on the field so far than off. I feel that this year is a more serious year, but also a more loose year in regards to what I can do on the field. I feel more confident than i ever have in this sport, and I really can't seem to figure out why. But oh well.
Well now I really can't remember the "Bad" and the "Ugly." Sorry all of you people that always wait patiently for "kckeeper's" Update will have to wait. Yeah whatever...Ha Ha
Ok well this first week of school is not the best, but not the worst. So like I said earlier in the year, I am looking forward to some of my classes, but not math. Well it has changed, I am looking forward to math, but just in a different light. So school, soccer,work, my friends it is all going pretty good right now.

| Howdy folks! How are ya doing? Considering that the summer is over and school is starting I'm guessing not good. But that is just me, and I am usually wrong just about 100% of the time, so don't worry. Well school starts today, so that is something to look forward to, but not exactly something to shout for joy about. Hopefully it will be a good school year, but not a hectic one. So I am kinda looking forward to most of my classes, except for math, I cannot stand that subject, but I will make it through hopefully.
In other news my parents are going anal about me working, doing school, soccer and all this other stuff. Well it is pretty much alright except for that they were kinda threatening to make me cut my own hours at Price Chopper. From already cutting them to like 20-25 during the school year to like 5-10 a week. Now that would totally blow, not only would I have no money, but it is also a social outing, and most of the people are cool (but not all, work is still not fun) so not working would not be cool one bit.
But not all news is bad news, Music!!!!!! Just the other day I was reading a magazine that had a poll and it was asking "Who will be the new best up and coming band? 1) Angels & Airwaves, 2) 30 Seconds To Mars, 3) The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, or 4) The Pink Spiders." Now this is a pretty nice list of bands. Are they really up and coming or are they already here? I mean you hear a song and in some cases two from all of the above bands, so how are they up and coming? I mean as I amm typing this a commercial just came on MTV for "The Pink Spiders" CD. So I guess geting a song from "The Pink Spiders" on the mainstrean radio means "Up and Coming." I mean what b/s, Ok have you ever heard of "Ben Folds?" OK thats a yes, so you have probably heard one of his singles either "Time," "Rockin the Suburbs", or "Annie Waits". But when was the last time you heard one of his songs on tha radio? Exactly, just what I thought "a long time ago", but this incredible Singer/Songwriter, and kick ass musician still thrives because he has fans and amazing songs! Just as these other bands that I listed above have amazing talent, and good songs (in general), they have been thriving for the past five years at least (excluding Angels & Airwaves, because they weren't together) I mean that would be the time when they were up and coming not now when they are here.
Good Music!!! Death Cab For Cutie ring a bell? It better or I will hunt you down and shove one of there CDs down your throat! (Just Kidding) But seriously, if you haven't listened to this amazing band that has an aweosome melodic urban sound you need to. Death Cab stands out because of there anthem type songs on the radio, such as "Crooked Teeth", "Soul Meets Body", and "The Sound of Settling". But where this band thrives is the lyrical stand point in each song, most bands will have an awesome sound (AKA Fallout Boy, or Panic! At The Disco) but be lyrical shallow. And with no real meaningful lyrics in a song what is the point (Unless it is an instrumental song, which can move you in a whole different way). The lyrics put the passion and heart into a song, Example...You are a singer in a succesful band, you are singing in a concert, woul you rather sing the song that has lyrics that say "Dance, Dance were falling apart to halftime" or lyrics such as "Now I don’t know where I am, I don’t know where I’ve been, But I know where I want to go." I will let you decide...
So Long

| God I am lazy, I haven't updated this thing in forever. Oh well, but I am back from Boy Scout Camp in good ole Osceola. I never thought that i would say it but I really wasn't ready to come home. If you know what I mean. But I am back and that is all that counts. So I have no idea what has gone on outside of Batle Scout Reservation for the past 10 days or so, so help me out in that regard.
I am really kinda ready for school to start and then I really am not ready. But whatever comes of my Junior year in High school I hope i can cope with it. But then again just coping with High school in it self is a challenge, even if you are home schooled. So I have learned that this is suppossed to be a hard year for Juniors where I take some of my classes. But I am looking forward to doing something hard, because last year our work was hard in some of our classes, but not hard enough to make me and my classmates work at it and do well at it. It was more like this is easy I will do it and not think about it hopefully I wil get a good grade. Or maybe I just really didn't give a shit about doing school, because I was working and playing either basketball, soccer or running track. So whatever it is that didn't get me motivated last year, I hope it does this year.
So right now in my life I am working and doing a soccer camp and that is just about it. But the soccer camp doesnt really count because it is almost over, as it is ending tonight. But it is a pretty good camp, probably because the guy that is doing the camp is the head coach of the soccer program at Rockhurst High School. So I think that might be a reason.
So Long

Well Well the summer life is on and no one is holding back. This summer has been a good one so far. But the summer is not over and is not going to be for a little while. For starters it has been a busy summer juggling work, soccer, basketball, and everything I do with my friends, almost every night of the week. But it is all to be expected of a teenagers summer, especially one with a car. Well it keeps my life in chaos and it keeps me busy and most of all fun. But if this week has to be a downfall for the summer it sure would be a good place to start. First of all we started dance again and I don't exactly hate dance, it just isn't alot of fun right now. Secondly, my car broke down on thursday and has yet to be revived. Thirdly, Aly is leaving Sunday morning for Texas and that is the worst of all. But, well there really is not an upside to this week it all just really sucks for all the reasons above, but other than that, it has been a good week.
These past two weeks we have been working the fireworks stand and it has sucked. Our tent was so small and we didn't really have any good merchandise to sell. Almost everyday my mom would go and work there and I would to almost everyday after work. But what sucked the most was packing it all up. First of all it sucked because we didn't really sell alot of merchandise and there was so much of it left. We started taking the tent down at like 8:30 in the morning and we did't get done until 8 that night. Yeah it sucked, but hopefully it is worth it.
This summer has to be a good one for music. First of all, to all this talk about A.F.I having a shot at CD of the year, THE CD BLOWS!!!! There are two songs that are even close to being a single, one being their single "Miss Murder" and second would have to be "Love Like Winter" another good one is "Prelude 12/21." But other than those the CD is no good, that is my opinion. But say hello to the long lost friends i would like to call Dashboard Confessional. Their new CD "Dusk and Summer" is amazing songs like "Don't Wait," "Stolen," "Dusk and Summer," So Long, So Long," is what music is about and it is a kick ass CD and I would strongly advise buying it.
But, who is Tom Delonge? Oh that guy that sang with Blink 182 and sold millions of CDs. Yeah that one, well he is back and he is better than ever. You probably by now have heard of Angels and Airwaves, his new band and their new single "The Adventure." Well yes, "The Adventure" is a good song but the record is filler with melodic songs and passionate lyrics like nothing before. Every song is a story in it self. Songs such as,"Valkrie Missle," "Do It For Me Now," "A Littles Enough," "The War," and "Start the Machine is what music is all about and I hope there are many more records like this come out by these bands with the insipration and passion to make such beautiful music.
So Long
