...is a real boy

Goodbye Roland..

2007-07-22T05:59:54Z

I don't want to say goodbye. I didn't get enough time to get to know you before you left. You became so much more than just a coach to me. You were the person that I could always count on for a good story and for a lift whenever I was feeling down. It didn't really hit me that you were leaving until today when you were talking and it finally hit me and I realized how amazing of a person that you are. People like you don't come along every day and while I could not be happier that I knew you and you were a part of my life, I don't want you to leave. There will be a hole that will never be able to be filled. I always remembered looking at the group of kids that dove with you thinking "well those are the really good kids so I probably won't be in that group any time soon" but eventually I was one of those kids and I couldn't be happier. I will miss your stories and jokes that were always weaved into telling me how I was messing up on my dives. I hope our paths will cross again at some point down the road.

Dear axe...

Your new advertisements suck. I'm not sure who came up with the idea of these ads, but trying to convince me that beautiful women will flock to me by the thousands doesn't work. I enjoy how you try to tell me that I'm not good enough without your product and that I need this to be happy and sucessful with women, but sadly, that's not the case. I shouldn't really be surprised because of all these ads have always tried to imply that using axe will bring the ladies. But I guess this time, just implying it wasn't enough, so we had to come and say it explicitly. I feel sorry for the loser who honestly buys this shit. Pathetic.

college!

2007-03-30T05:13:01Z

University of Redlands here I come.

Download this song.

I've started to feel almost disconnected to my dad. Over the past couple of months, it seems like I don't talk to him very much and when he's out of town and calls on the phone I talk to him for thirty seconds and that's it. I just called him to tell him happy birthday and I barely even talked to him for a minute. I've been noticing this for the past couple of months. I'm not mad at him or anything like that, but it just feels weird..

fucking awesome?

2007-02-26T19:52:40Z

So yeah, I'm going to university of redlands. I just got my letter telling me I got into the music program with a scholarship. I am so fucking excited. I'm going to college for music. This is so so sick.

Infinity on High?

2007-02-15T05:48:35Z

So basically this album is way disappointing. Upon first listen, there is one stand out song, suprise, the first single. The rest is completely forgettable and boring. Definitely not worth my fourteen dollars. Lame.

Not fun..

2007-02-13T02:01:36Z

Yeah.. things have not been getting better.. I'm sick of this and I just want this to be resolved..

Harry Potter!

2007-02-01T23:26:54Z

I guess he's down with beastiality. Who knew haha.

I got into Redlands!

2007-01-25T03:32:23Z

Wooo! So basically all that needs to happen now is for me to get into the music program there and it's pretty much set that I'm going there. And I might be diving there too! Score!

Low self esteem anyone?

2007-01-11T22:59:08Z

You've got to be pretty full of yourself to write a song about how "delicious" and "tastey" you are. Come on. I can just imagine the train of thought.. "Gosh, I'm so hot.. I know! I should write a song about me so that everyone knows!" Sorry, you're not that hot. This is one boy you don't have on "rock, rock"

hitting the big time..

2006-12-21T07:00:15Z

Word on the street is that I might be joining a band that will be touring soon..

You're not bringing sexy back and you're not taking it to the bridge.

2006-11-23T05:05:00Z

I'm an eagle scout! woooo!!!! you'd best step off cause i'm pretty much badass now.

not really though. hopefully it will get me into college..

holy crap..

2006-10-22T06:38:22Z

one freaking year. that's a pretty damn long time. one year ago i started going out with carly and i'm still with her! this is definitely amazing for me. i still can't believe that i've been with her for so long. it doesn't even seem like it at all sometimes, but then other times it feels like it has seriously been forever. this is amazing.

Laaaaame..

2006-10-11T05:41:26Z

You'd think I would bitch and moan about something important. Something that actually matters. But no. I'm going to complain about my newspaper. About how they took away the section that had the news from the world and the nation and made it into one page. They took away the only section that I ever read. Screw them. And then, as if to specifically piss me off even more, they add a celebrity gossip page. I DON'T WANT A FUCKING GOSSIP PAGE!! I want a real fucking newspaper. One that actually tells me the freaking news. But at least they have "more color pictures!" Watch me cancel my subscription douchebags. I like reading the newspaper in the morning and getting upset about all the bullshit things that stupid people do every day. I guess it makes me feel better about myself, because at least I'm not that stupid. I've read the paper every morning for probably close to five years and suddenly I get this bullshit celebrity gossip. I will stab myself the day I read that.
Why did I need to vent about my newspaper? Hell if I know, but I'm pissed off..

bah

2006-09-21T01:42:20Z

definitely just lost my job...

humbug.

hooray!

2006-09-05T04:53:28Z

i'm in such a good mood right now. I have no idea why or whatever, but i really like it. i'm listening to some catch 22 and just kicking it. nevermind school or anything. i love feeling like this.

carly comes home!

2006-08-25T04:13:29Z

tomorrow! i'm really excited. she's been gone for two weeks and i've barely been able to talk to her :( i really miss her alot. but i get to see her tomorrow! hooray!

the end of an era

2006-08-13T20:38:13Z

i'm finally done working at panda. i'm kinda sad that i'm no longer working there cause *most* of the people were really nice to me, but i'm also pretty happy that i'm not working on saturday nights anymore. which is pretty cool :) and i've still got a job at the photography studio, which is pretty cool. i think i get to keep my clothes from panda too hehe.

and carly is in freaking scotland for two weeks. and my phone isn't allowed to call internationally so basically i can't talk to her for two weeks. which sucks. alot. i miss her already and she left yesterday.. oh well. i'll live i guess. but i won't be happy.

new myspace! huzzah!

ugh..

2006-07-22T04:39:15Z

i need stronger pain killers...
what i have isn't doing anything..

tomorrow

2006-07-19T02:22:10Z

i have surgery tomorrow. i'm nervous.

i hate this..

2006-07-17T05:29:11Z

i've been having these stupid panic attacks lately. this irrational fear overcomes me and i can't get my mind onto anything else. usually it's about someone close to me having something happen to them and i can't stop thinking about it and the more i think about it, the worse i get. usually it only ends when i can actually talk to whoever it is. i don't know what causes this but i want it to stop.

well fuck.

I have spent months organizing and arranging and planning my Eagle project only to have it pulled out from under my feet the day before I would have completed it. And this isn't the first time that I have had something like this happen. First, the person I had arranged my project with failed to tell me that she didn't actually have the authority to tell me whether or not I could my project. And then, on THE DAY BEFORE my project, I'm told that I don't have permission to do my project because of liability issues. Gee thanks, that would have been great to know sooner than the DAY BEFORE my project. Anyways, I'm not sure what I'm gonna do about that now. I'm pissed.
