Hey again. I'm super tired so I'm going to try to keep this short. I changed the size of the font on all the content of the page. It was a bit too large. I havn't added any pages, or anything like that, but I have been working on a new layout. It's really great and I love it but I really like my page right now so I'm guessing it's going to be a while before I put it up.
I finally got to go check out my locker and was happy to find that it deos have a shelf and hooks in it. A couple of the lockers don't, which would make things kind of dificult, especialy if the hooks were missing.. anyways, I printed some stuff to put up in it, but I think I am going to wait untill after shcool starts. Wow -- I'm so not ready for school...
I got to hang with Hannah today and have a band practice, which is kind of hard without the other people there but it still turned out ok. We did some Beatles and some other random stuff. Later we watched the Beatle's First US Visit video, which is super funny. The train scene and the scene in the hotel right before they leave are a riot! After dinner we went by their barn and saw Hannah's two cats, Fender and Gibson. I'm normally not a cat person but these guys were so cute.
I guess that's about all for now. I forgot I think I am going to my grandaprents house tomarrow and I have to be up early! It's super late right now too.. I hate when this happens. I should be updating again soon. Bye!

Hey again.. it's me! I've been so bored the past few days, yet I'm not ready for school. I have been actually having a nice time with freinds and such stuff lately. Well, atleast I will have weekends when school starts! Anyways, the site has kind of slowed down sence I havn't had any new ideas for it. It's too bad really. But I'm not too concerned, I should think of something once school starts! Then things should pick up and there will be more visiters from school and stuff like that.
Oh, school -- I don't really know what to think about it. A month ago I couldn't wait, now it's coming way too fast. 11 days. Yeah, that's right, 11! I still have to visit my grandparents a few times (I really miss them!) and get more school cloths and supplies. They still havn't put up the locker numbers on the door yet, which reminds me... I need a new candle. The one from last year was stolen -- typical...
Not only are things starting too fast they are ending too fast! Yeah, city band is over. I miss it alot. It was such a great experience. I seriously didn't think I would be in it till I was much older so I'm super thankful that I was invited. Plus, we have really nifty uniforms...
Well, on a happier note, I got to hang out with people I havn't seen for a while and go to the beach last week. It's been so hot out lately. There was a huge storm last night though. That was an intresting expierience -- tornado wornings, which are very odd around here. The siren went off and everything! Me and my mom were outside at that time.. we walked down the alley to look arround a bit. I kinda feel bad about it though because your suposed to go inside. Even though nothing happened, it was kind of a foolish thing to do... Later that night there was a whole bunch of lightning kind of twords duluth and about 15 minutes of really heavy downpoor. I heard today that there were about 83 thousand lightning strokes!!
I guess that's about all for now. I should be writting again soon I think. Bye!

This is going to be a short update because I am kind of busy working on the page. I added a new page with Paul McCartney's poetry from his book, Blackbird Singing. I also finally wrote my rant for lighthouse point if your intrested in that. I'm feeling kind of creative so I will probably be making other pages really really soon or making some stuff for the "From Me To You" page. Other than that the page hasn't changed much.
As for me, I havn't changed much either... I over reacted about my room. I was done really really quick and playing my guitar and what not by the middle of the day. Not a big deal. I've learned some new songs lately and will be learning some new saxaphone stuff tomarrow for City Band. I wonder what we're gonna play now.. Oh, and my soccer coach called about soccer. I really hope he wont be too disapointed about me not playing varsity soccer this year. I kind of can't because of school and violin and other stuff like that. Well, I better get going I have other stuff to do before getting to bed. Bye!
I guess that's about all for now. I should be writting again soon I think. Bye!

Oh wow. This is great. I wasn't able to go on the computer today because of my dad. I'm suposed to clean my room before I go on the computer which isn't a big deal, but I have desided to redo my room which takes a little longer. I was working on it today and couldn't even finish it but I got a good start. I guess it was pretty dumb of me to assume that it would be ok for me to go online later in the day though... I told my dad it would take me a few days to clean because I'm cleaning everything and reduing stuff but he still wont let me go on the computer so I guess I'm stuck without it for a few days. That's not so bad really. The bad part is he said no music till I am done either. Yes, no saxaphone, no violin, and no guitar. How on Earth am I suposed to survive without all of that for the next few days?? I live off music. I play my guitar multiple times a day, sometimes for hours. I just starting practicing my violin again after a short brake too. Ah, but I have band practice this tuesday so I get to play then. I think I am going to ditch the plan to redo my room and clean what needs to be done to be able to my stuff again and then redo the other stuff afterwards. It's kinda harder htat way but I really really can't stand not having my music. It makes me completely miserable. Plus I'm not even suposed to be on the computer right now. I only get a few minutes to check my email because I am waiting on some stuff for my webpages, and I've been on here for about 30 minutes. I wouldn't have been on so dang long if the DSL would cooperate.
I kind of had a nice day yesterday. It's been very hot the past few days, and my dad desided to go golfing and let me come with. I can't golf worth beans so I just went along and carried my cameras. I got a bunch of great pictures and my didn't golf his best but still had fun. We saw two rabbits some geese, a big heron bird thingy, and a baby goose. I got some great pictures but I didn't have any film in my camera and had to use the digital. (oye) The golf course is filled with raspberries! It was wonderful. I'm glad they didn't spray them because if they did I would surely be dead seeing as how many I ate. My dad let me try hitting a few balls but like I said earlier, I'm no good at golf. I actaully didn't put to bad and I had a kinda ok chip shot. I think the clubs were too short though cause I felt all hudled over them...
The webpage hasn't changed much really. I think I got all the links up and I have finally got a chance to write a rant. I really want to write about something else but it's getting late and I really don't want to deal with my dad coming down here and getting mad at me -- don't get me wrong, I really love him but sometimes he gets so mad, it's quite unbarable seeing as he's usually the only one I can go to for relief when it's other people who arn't beeing too kind... Anyways, back to my point -- I found something new to rant about. I don't want to give it all away here but it has to do with my town fighting over an environmental issue. I don't want to give away my location but there is a historical site in our town and woods near it that are in danger of being distroyed by someone putting up a bunch of gawdy buildings.. classic isn't it? That seems to always be the story.. This kind of thing happens to much I think. Anywho, if your intrested in hearing my take on the whole thing and learn a bit about some of the charming people in my delightful town come check out the rants within a few days. There's gonna be a rather important meeting coming up tomarrow where they might discuss a refurendum, some chemicals leaking into the lake, and possibly another plan for this area that is in danger. Hey, it's fun for the whole family!
Other than that.. my life is rather boring lately. I'm turning over a new leaf tomarrow and actaully working out like I hae been saying I would. Oh, god.. and finish my room -- It's too depressing, I must stop now. Check back soon for some new stuff... I'm feeling kinda creative! Buh bye!

Oh wow, long time no write? I've been super busy with soccer and my other webpages. The page hasnt really changed much. I put up the August calender, proving that this month is most uneventful, atleast for now. I also hooked up all my links, some of them go nowhere mind you, but atleast they look like they do. (only three links dont work right now, see if you can find them!) I'v been feeling kinda like rambling latly so check out the reads/rants within the next few days and there might actaully be something there... I also got rid of the music and the sound clip because it was driving me insane! Every time I refreshed the page.. "Hey it's a thingy I'ts a fiendish thingy!". Sorry if you missed out on all the fun, but it had to go! I kind of doubt I will be getting more music here because I was having some issues with space (!) and had to get rid of some stuff. When I got arround to deleting the music, I gained a heck of a lot of space. The sound clip is pretty small so I kept it anyways. Mabye I'l hide it somewhere on the page for you to find..
As for my life? Hmm, well. Nothing much happening, except for my adventures in the cities for soccer. There are 50 fields where the tournament was held! Plus a stadium and a crazy bicycle track. The first two game that we played last week we won. The teams weren't as hard as we had expected -- they weren't even that pushy, although I did get an elbow in my gut as some kind of pay back for nocking someones friend down. Oh, I also had probably my best corner kicks ever that weekend. One of them went extremely high and behind the net a little and hooked right down in front of the goalie. Lisa almost had her head on it but the goalie snatched it out of the air. Darn. The next weekend we played a team from Bloomington which went pretty bad. They were horrible! Cursing and tripping us. They were pulling crap every two seconds. There defence wasn't even very good, but they were quite an offensive team. I had a couple of bad run ins in our net were I was sworn at and what not. Somebody I was fighting with in the box tripped me from behind but the ref missed it.
Anyways, we lost and the season has finally drawn to an end. I'm releaved yet kind of sad...
The next day (We spent the night in Blaine) we went shopping at the mall near the hotel. I got some school cloths, a ring and a necklace. nothing too special. So, a couple of hours later, we went back to the soccer place to get tickets to a Minnesota Thunder game at 7. Before the Thunder game we watched some college level guys play soccer for a while, and got some pictures of them too. The Thunder game was excelent! They scored two goals twords the beggining of the game, but the other team (Indiana Blast) scored two twords hte very end. At the end you could go down on the field and get audographs, and ofcourse I had to get an audograph from number nine, there highest scoring striker, one of their kickers. I might put up a Thunders section on the page. I think we're going to another game in acouple of weeks.
I think I have said enough! I'm afraid I will fill up the page within this one entree... Hopefully I will be writting again soon. Bye.
