[ music | The Jonbenet - "Behold, The White Whore" ]

I haven't written anything in this for awhile.



Well, I'm going to Warped this year and getting my tickets for Hellfest soon. There are so many great bands playing at Hellfest this year but I mostly want to go to see HORSE. Warped looks decent, I mostly want to see The Bled and the locals.


Well, things with OWIB are slow. Matt is getting sent off to Utah for 8 weeks (for reasons I won't say) so Austin is playing guitar for us until he gets back.

Me and Taylor are starting a side project with Mikey and Vicars.


I went out and bought Give Up by The Postal Service the other day. Excellent CD, I've been listening to it non-stop.


The new Coldplay CD is amazing, I'm going out to get that Monday.

The Jonbenet is an incredible band.



and.. that's it.


Oh, and this was kinda funny.. but stupid.. -

Dude101: hey this is random but is the drummer from HTD gay? i was looking at a pic and in the pic he looked a little gay

That's not that persons's real s/n, I figured that'd be a dick move to put the real one up and have alot of angry people IMing him like crazy. Especially since 3/4ths of the people that read my LJ are from Carmel and/or know HTD personally.

4 are counting on me | and they don't even know it

So I graduated Wednesday night. It was amazing.




and now I'm done with school forever. Hell yeh.

8 are counting on me | and they don't even know it

[ music | Kalmah - "Hades" ]

So yeh, I'm going to get the waiver. As long as I can maintain my grades as they are now and get them as high as possible.




I'm going to graduate. This is a good day.

4 are counting on me | and they don't even know it

[ mood | chipper ]
[ music | Murder By Death - "Those Who Left" ]

So I'm in an extremely good mood now. Basically everything is going pretty smooth, I'm doing all I can to graduate and it's the best I can do. So I'm not going to stress so much, I'm going to do my part the best I can and then see how it flys with getting a waiver because that part is out of my hands after my grades go in. Hell, I just now got done with a big math assignment, a Sociology chapter review packet for a test in there tomrorow, studied for a test tomorrow in Government, and just finished a 5 page paper on John F. Kennedy for the same class. So yeh, I'm exhausted

Mostly I'm in an extremely good mood for a few reasons:

- I just bought a glass bowl, my first piece. I named it Thomas Jefferson. I would explain the story behind it, but it would take too much time and explaining for me to do right now. Save it for another day.

- Tomorrow is cap and gown day, as well as the senior luncheon at 11, then we get to go home after it's over.

- And then begins a helluva weekend. Smoking, making music, playing some video games, watching Aqua Teen Hunger Force, and munchin'.



I know some people that read my LJ think I'm lame or stupid for smoking, but you know, I don't care anymore. I do it, not excessivly, I enjoy it. I could go out and get drunk and run over somebody or get drunk and get pissed off for no reason and beat up my sister or something. So for all you out there that talk about how bad weed is, think about alcohol, and all the car accidents, domestic abuse cases, reckless acts, etc. it causes each year. How many of those do you hear about happening each year that involve marijuana? Little to none. Personally, I don't see how it isn't vice versa with the two. But whatever, that's just my opinion, you make your own. I'll always respect it, as long as it doesn't involve trying to tell me I'm wrong for doing something.


Well that's it. later -

3 are counting on me | and they don't even know it

[May 10th, 05|4:12pm]
[ mood | angry ]

I hate it when other people tell me to blame myself. Fuck you.

and they don't even know it

[May 9th, 05|11:30pm]
[ mood | frustrated ]
[ music | The Locust - "Teenage Mustache" ]

So I find out today I missed the math portion of the GQE by 1 point.


I may not graduate because I'm off by 1-fucking-point.




I could say so many things to critisize our school, our school system, our state government.. I'm just not even going to bother. I don't even have the strength. This news has completely shot me down.






I only hope I can get the waiver. To do that I need to pass all the classes I need to graduate, which is all but one math class but as long as I do my shit in there she'll pass me. My GPA needs to be at 4.0 and it's at 3.4 right now. Our GPA is on a 12 point scale so I don't think that should be too difficult. If I can do both those things in the next 8 days, they'll send my stuff in to be eligible for a waiver. My counseler says my chances of getting it if it gets in is real good because I only missed the test by a point. So I can only hope and work my ass off these next 8 days.

If not.. so many bad things will happen. Not graduating would just be the beginning. My dad would disown me, not like I would care.

And you all think I'm kidding.




Atleast I'll be stoned all weekend, making music with The 30th.

Atleast there's something to look forward to.

and they don't even know it

[ mood | tired ]
[ music | Archer Avenue - "Smile At Me" ]

I just read all my LJ entries, from the one before this to the first one I wrote. Because I had nothing better to do.

I can't beleive how much can happen and change in 2 years.


Atleast I don't type w00t, BOOYAH, and put exclamation points after everything like an over-excited little school girl.



Now I just sound like an ass heh.


After tomorrow - 13 days until I graduate. 13.. I can't even beleive it. I'm excited and sad at the same time. Worried and ecstatic about life where school is no longer involved. What happens next? I'll find out.


Too tired to type anything else.

and they don't even know it

[Apr 27th, 05|4:49pm]
[ mood | aggravated ]
[ music | Sinai Beach - "Never Say Never" ]

After reading a forum topic at a group I'm apart of on myspace I've come to this conclusion -

Some people need to die.

Why? Just because they're so fucking stupid on a level that's unheard of.

And what's worse - they think it's funny as hell.



Stupid.

Shortest weekend of my life. The end.

A Confession And Statement [Apr 21st, 05|11:28pm]
What you're about to read is something I just began writing. I don't know if I will add onto it, if I'll have it stay as it is, or.. I'm not sure yet. I was baffled after I wrote it - it came from nowhere.

It's hard for me to explain it, I guess what matters most is what you get out of it. It's written as a confession and statement.

Read for yourself.

(And if you're one to put irrelevant, dumbass comments - just don't. I'll delete it.)


---------------------------------------------


A Confession And A Statement

In a debate focused on the moral and social correctitude on the subject of the many pleasures, flaws, and fallbacks of human existence – I began to ponder to myself, the reasons that brought about my answers and defended my position and ideals with an iron fist. But like most deep conversations I stride to carry out, my tendency to be over-poetic about the argument made my points fall short in the slew of words I had running out of my mouth. Not to say what I said during that time I regretted or take back, oh no. I just didn’t enter into such a deep state-of-mind until hours afterward - to actually plot and dissect my manner of thinking on the subject. But then again, it is easily lost in magnitude of all my
thoughts combined. Regardless, having a good, healthy debate on the way our society functions on a front porch, during a chilly mid-afternoon day with a close friend that stretches his span of thinking abroad on just about everything – it truly allows you to enjoy being so open-minded and free-thinking. And it goes without saying - the vast, calming power of sucking on a cigarette adds to the enjoyment – as well as the patience to continue on.

I don’t think anybody has ever said ‘too much knowledge is a bad thing’, but sometimes in the midst of my zone-outs, day dreams, and ‘high times’ – my brain seems to dig so deep within itself for new information, or previously existing but hidden information, I can feel it tangling up inside itself. Suffocating. But truly when I speak of knowledge my words are not directed towards academics, no. Which brings me to a point – we as human beings seem to base academic knowledge as the key to all of our success. All other knowledge seems to be disposable. Who are they
(those that believe such) to judge the nature of our (we who believe different) knowledge? The way we as individuals carry out our everyday lives – doing as we please to satisfy ourselves – to get through another day. Some people cook, some people kill. Some people work, some people steal. Some people sit on their asses everyday, on that plush piece of furniture in the living room, only surviving day-to-day by simply looking forward to that new episode of Law & Order and having enough T.V. dinners and Coke to last them that week. And some people go out of their way to help those in need, give their charity for all they’re worth. This is how we function as a society, we have to have those people to love and to hate. Without it, it would simply be chaos, and if there is one thing we cannot deal with it is chaos and disorganization. The very thought of our way of life in some way spinning out of our control – terrifies us.

But what does this have to do with knowledge? Nothing and everything at the same time. It means nothing only because I proceeded to ramble onto the subject of numerous individuals ways of living. It means everything because you are thinking to yourself right now how those ways of life for those individuals is morally correct in our society. Your society. Knowledge – the mental gas that sets our way of thinking in motion. Drink it up…
