Currently Listening Complete Atomic Basie By Count Basie The Kid From Red Bank see related

haha!

Just realized that xanga is now only being used by ted york, susie gerbenski, and ellen roos... To you three... keep up the good work. It's a great form of entertainment at 10 o' clock at night. To everyone else, I understand. But, to keep xanga in business (and not myspace, although I should not judge it lest I walk a mile in it's... mocassins?), I shall give a short view of all my happenings since October (I'm pretty sure that that that was the last time I wrote).

Let's See. Jazz Band. The Crucible. Not-Speech (sad to say, I somewhat miss that cult... or just you peopke in that cult). More SES, this time involving mounds of late work waiting to be turned in. Friends. Mine and Greta's 9th, 10th, and 11th anniversary!(and another '!' for good measure)! More Friends. The Joy of Sledding. Freedom over winter break. The deal with my Uncle. A heck of a lot of guitar @ church. Some more trumpet. Not Liking Wind Ensemble. _________ <<<(a blank for everything I can't think of). More Trumpet, this time involving Michael Mossman, and a killer Jazz concert that most of you missed (except you that didn't). It was seriously killer. I'm pretty sure that Michael Mossman made many an ear bleed. But if you're not in jazz 1, an AVHS trumpet, or if you didn't go to the concert, you're probably pretty dang confused. But maybe you shoulda spent the zero bucks and gone to the jazz concert. No hard feelings by the way. Oh yeah, and a bunch of my friends hooked up with some women-folk. Way to go guys... way to go. Even though neither are g oing to read this... And if you're out there matt/jimmy, you're next.

I've noticed that there is an extreme gravitation of people towards relationships. Anyone else notice that? I"m too lazy to go into that with more depth. I'll leave that one up to ellen/ted/susie.

night ya'lls, and I hope I accurately portrayed the last 3 months. If I forgot anyone in anything, like those shout outs that people used to have in they're AIM profiles... well, tough luck. And everyone thank Nicole Brellenthin for whooping cough. I guess her, and her sister were the ones to give us that school notice and the signs and symptoms of pertussis. To you nicole, "Cough Cough".

Currently Listening Footprints Live! By Wayne Shorter FOOTPRINTS (and I got it right this time) see related

Just kidding, it's called foot prints. Sorry, but I'm being really stupid right now.

and is there a way to delete past entries so I don't have to worry about looking like an idiot in front of all the internet blogger geeks that you guys are. just kidding about the geek part... I mean, I'm doing this too, so you guys must not all be complete losers.

hope i didn't offend anyone

your fav. (i hope. It's ok if you have other fav's. I respect that. but if i was your fav. well, that would be nice. but i'm not imposing fav choices upon you. It's your right in this fine country to pick a favorite: be he/she cool, or not zak. fine by me)

Currently Listening Birth of the Cool By Miles Davis Move see related

I miss having really fun video games that I can just lose myself in. Honestly! so, to all you gamecube owners out there: WE GOT SCREWED! seriously... nothing fun. Metroid prime 1 & 2, good. but that's about it. everything else has been incredibly depressing. Someone answer me this. What happened to nintendo being geniuses?! Mario 1 and 3: Could satisfy someone for years. And this is the non-stop satisfaction. not any kind of semi-satisfaction. But the gamecube is just horrible. But then again so is the DS. in some respects. Bought it being sooo excited for all the "possibilities". worst purchase, so far, that I've ever made. just kidding. Beanie babies were the worst purchase I've ever made. and all of the Sim City games. I suck at sim city.

I really felt like ranting right there. So I'm reading this book called The River Why? and it's really weird/cool. so there's this guy who loves fishing a lot. so He moves out near the coast on this river and fishes there almost 25/7. not kidding. His day is about 16 hours of fishing and then 8 hours of sleep. I think. Or maybe more fishing and less sleep. It's really weird, cuz he goes all crazy and talks to his fishing pole and gets depressed and drinks and stuff. I was reading it and I just got really sick of the book, so I left. And I thought, 'now would be a good time to play a video game for an hour or so' but I realized that I had a faulty company providing me entertainment, so I turned to my computer. No good games there (solitaire has it's limits). So i write here.

but my parents are really cool. So I went to old chicago yesterday for a sort of get together with a bunch of people from my church, and my mom gave me $10 for food and everything. So i get there and my youth minister covers my bill. good stuff, right? I come home, yada yada yada, give the $10 back to my mom. SHe leaves it on the counter this morning and tells me and my brother to go out to eat this morning. YES! so I'm thinking taco bell, but not sure.

Anyways, I got this spud gun about a month ago, and I'm gonna go out and fix it this weekend and then try it out on crystal lake! It's gonna be neat! anyone wanna go duck hunting?

I think I need an SES paragraph here. So, I'm completely bombarded by homework.  NO, not mostly bombarded, but completely. about 5 math assignments, history chapters to read (one has a segment about how the natives of central america used to slice lines into there penises and insert paper so the blood wouldn't stop flowing. Hope you're not eating right now). A book about delirious fisherman to read, bio chapters to read, journals to finish, trumpet lessons to prepare for, and etc. OH, and I have some essays to write! Great place, but I feel like I'm missing out on a lot at apple valley. Ben Cohen: I heard that you were a bouncer, wish I was there! ugh.

Anyways, Just found out that AVHS football won their first/last game last night! good work, glad we didn't totally completely suck. Not as ashamed as I could've been! sucks for kennedy though. 0-7. poor seniors. That's why I do band. It's not like we could ever go 1-6 in anything. I think. unless we start competing (*insert prayer for that to be the last thing ever done by Z in a fit of rage). And plus, we suck to much to compete. NOt kidding. That's why marching band is great. NO EXPECTATIONS!!! w00t w00t.

so, that's all for now. I'll probably update in the next month, but no gurantees (sp?)! I'm gonna go lazy around for the rest of the day. Unproductiveness!!!!!
