| Contrary to popular beleif, I'm not dead.
My motherboard on my computer gave out a week or so ago and it's tough getting around to getting a new computer.
There is so much to talk about. I've graduated. I will miss so many people. Not seeing all of you every day at school is tough. It is sad, but I have to move on.
Here soon I'll have some pictures up from some memorable events. Hopefully Victoria will lend me a few of the camping trip.
I have to run off to work soon, but I will return.
Peace out.

| Third time is the charm.
I had a great time at prom with Sydney. We danced quite a bit and I showed her the magic of Techno music.
Nothing like pretending you're on ecstacy (sp?).
We went in the RV (The cool decorated one) with Victoria and
Eric. We got a few looks with our sweet banners. My dad was
really cool to us for driving us there and back.
Mini-fridges are mini-heavy. I was pretty glad I won that AFTER I
HAD RECENTLY SAT IN A POOL OF WATER SOMEONE SPILT IN A CHAIR
(bastards). I also won two free movie tickets and a free
dinner. Sweet...
Then I took Sydney back to her house and crashed. Her mom was pretty cool about letting me take a little nap.
My only regret is that I didn't get to say hello to a few people, and
that I didn't get to dance with Bobbi. Overall though, taking
Sydney, someone I really care about, made all the difference.
I'm in love with a... BRICK
I went and saw Silent Hill with Brad. Movie is really freaky/good.
I feel bad, I haven't made much time for him recently. It's been tough finding time with this new job.
First pay check: $210.10
Better than a poke in the eye.
Lastly, a visual memory from Prom 2006.
Peace out.

| So much to write about.
Work has been taking up a lot of time, especially since Kevin (Damm)
has been making me come in every day this week. I get $5.25 an
hour, but my discount is sweet (cost +10%).
Sydney and I are wonderful.
I didn't get Bobbi a birthday present. But don't worry; I
just recently received my Christmas present from her. I've got a
few days to go.
Her surprise birthday party was a hit and her notebook PC is straight up sexy.
Gotta get:
Tux
Flowers
Senior Pictures printed
Prom plans finalized
- who is going with Sydney and I in the RV (my dad's driving us)
- where are we going to eat dinner and with who if anyone else
- are we going to go to afterprom
Decide what I will spend my money on
Research paper finished!
Bleh. That's all I have to say about that.
Peace out.

| I really need to update. Get ready for a big one.
I ended up going to the concert with Jonathan and my dad. It was
absolutely spectacular. There were fewer people there than I had
expected, so Jonathan and I were able to get really close to the front
of the stage.
Dredg - Absolutely great. I'm just a big fan in general,
and their performance was right on the mark. The guitar player
did some crazy pedal switching.
As I Lay Dying - Incredibly intense. They'd start a really
heavy break down and then the strobe light would come on. Totally
nuts.
Atreyu - They were alright. The lead singer brought the mosh with him on stage. The crowd got really intense.
Story of the Year - They threw their $3000 dollar PRS guitars in
the air. That made me cringe a little bit. Singer cursed a
lot, especially for a band I considered slightly girly. I was
proved wrong though, they were as hard as the rest (excluding Dredg of
course).
Thrice - I had never really listened to Thrice, but I want to more now. They were powerful and eloquent.
Deftones - I was actually kind of dissappointed with their
performance. Rx Queen was off pitch and Chino didn't sing very
well at all. When Hexagram started playing though, all hell broke
loose. Badass.
That concert was great.
Nine Inch Nails didn't suck either. This rapper (Saul Williams)
opened up for him and he threw it down. His beat man did the
beats right up on stage, which is rare... or at least I think it
is. Anyways, on to the main attraction.
The first thing I noticed was the stage. The light carriage could
move up and down, so an indoor effect could be produced when it was
lowered. The lights were just sick.
The performance great too. They did all of their good 'ole songs
and their popular new songs (regrettably, they did Everyday Is Exactly
The Same, my least favorite NiN song ever), but they didn't do The
Becoming. Darn.
Other big news:
-I helped Victoria and Bobbi pick out their prom dresses.
-I got a job offer at Damm Music.
-I bought a pair of Converse Chuck Taylor high-tops.
Most delightedly though, I'm back with Sydney.
Life is great.
Peace Out.

| Looks like I'm heading off to the Deftones concert here soon. My dad relented and said he would take Jonathan and I.
Thanks dad. I really appreciate it (no sarcasm).
I'm not sure if Jonathan realizes what he's going to. It's not
only Deftones, but there are a bunch of other even more aggressive and
thrashy bands there. I'm thinking it's going to be a mosher's
paradise.
He's big enough to withstand it, but I'm more experienced. It
just reminds me of the Tool concert when I went with Luke and Jacob,
his older brother.
We're sitting down on the floor of the Colossium (sp?), and Jacob says,
"When they say, 'Everybody up,' you get up as fast as you can, and run straight forward, alright?"
"What?"
"Everbody up!"
*sprint* *squish*
"I wasn't exactly ready for that, Jake"
The show starts at 5. It's Deftones, As I Lay Dying, Atreyu, Dredg, Story of the Year, and Thrice.
Should be badass.
I've made big mistake I think. I hope it's not too late.
