Song: Syd Barrett - Baby Lemonade
This week is going really slow, oh well. I'm pretty bored at the moment. Went to the Physics AP preperation thing, it was pretty fun. I've been meaning to make Daniel a CD but I keep forgetting until it's too late. I'm falling more and more behind in calc but phys is doing pretty well. I present in english on Thursday. End. 'Night.

Song: Pink Floyd - High Hopes
If you don't like Pink Floyd, you should. They are such a great, not to mention influential, band. I like all of their CDs, execpt for The Final Cut which I haven't listened to enough to get a good opinion of. But Dark Side, The Wall, and The Division Bell are all awesome, so cool, so uuuh I don't know. I finally did it today, though not the best experience it had to be done. It's my fault I get that reply, I know this, and I'll live. I need to clean my room, maybe I'll do that tomorrow.

I just added a few new blog links, there is only one that is not Xanga... it's kinda sad. I don't think I'll ever go to Xanga, I like being in control of everything here. The layout, the link sections, all of it except the comments thing I'm having to use. But if you have a comment, you can always e-mail me or IM me; that is if I decided to stop what I'm doing now. No comments on this, this isn't a "real" entry, I'll probably do one later tonight though.

Song: Neal Morse - In the Middle
There were so many things today that wanted and needed to do but I didn't do very many of them. I did do about 2 hours of calc though, that was good.
I just realized whike watcching a commercialy, what ever happened to the brown colored M & M's? I know they used to have them, did they just phase them out for the blue one when it first came out? I don't know, I kinda feel like a part of me has just died... well not really.
I need to get some more Porcupine Tree CDs, I really like them.

Song: King's X - Dreams
Yesterday was pretty good, though a little disappointing. I had a rough morning waking up, kept waking up too early. After I while I went out to my dad's where I hadn't been for about 2 weeks. Stayed out there for while. Then went to play games and other stuff at someone's house. While there I fell outside, flat on my butt. It was kinda funny, but also hurt a little. Then on the way back I slipped again, I scraped my toe up some. Nevertheless it was fun. "Today" I need to do quite a bit of homework, calc and english are calling to me. Not much else really happened.
And if the comments don't start getting used a little more often I'm going to take them off, because it actually takes some effort for me to put that link in here. Since I've started adding them I think I've had only 3 comments from other people, which to me isn't worth the time I put into it. But I'll give it a while longer before I decided what I'm going to do.

Song: Simon and Garfunkel - Scarborough Fair - Canticle
Yeah, yeah, it's been while since I've last updated, I've been too stressed/busy/frustrated/tired to. Even now I'm pretty stressed and frustrated but updating is a good thing, maybe I'll be able to get a few things out. The English paper itself is done, all that's left is the presentation, which I'm not that worried about. I even had a dream about it last night; I dreamt I got an A-, which was very pleasing. English has been pretty bad these past few days, Romantic Poetry isn't fun in my opinion. Yesterday I was gone all day for Jazz Band, I'll be gone part of tonight for it again. It wasn't worth missing a day school for it you ask me.
Today has been a day of many annoyances. It started with getting around midnight. Not a good thing, then I woke up early (I just did, no alarm or anything). Then band was boring and I did not want to be there. In English we had a test. I skipped one of the questions so I could go back to it, then I forgot to go back to it until I had turned it in. Other than that English wasn't too bad. Quiz in Calc, which I made 2 more stupid mistakes. On the first one I forgot to get negative t's and on the second I forgot to evaluate it at 3, so I left -t^2 as my answer. Com-Sci was pretty good, but my program doesn't want to work. In physics I felt a little rushed because I had to copy yesterday's notes as well as today's. Then in Spanish I had to make up a vocab test which I could have done better on. The assignment after that I didn't do, I have no motivation in the class. Then in the last 5 or so minutes Jessica and Rachel were asking me what was wrong, which I don't really like to answer. I feel like I'm just as somber as usual, and if something was really wrong I don't think I would tell them in the Spanish class. After that more people started bugging me about this weekend, this is for you, I WILL DO IT WHEN I'M READY AND/OR CAN, please stop bothering me about it. This isn't meant to offend you, but: I don't see you doing anything either. Most people (and things) in general are starting to really annoy me; the road trip with Jake didn't help me in that respect any. Speaking of which I'll need to continue that in another entry, this one is getting long as it is.
That did help a little.
Life is so much cleaner on the page.

Song: Porcupine Tree - The Sky Moves Sideways (Alernate Version)
Wow, no computer for over 4 full days. The weird part is I didn't really miss it, which I see as a good thing. There is so much to talk about, I'm not sure where I should start and what to leave out. I guess I'll start with Monday and go from there (this is going to be a lot of typing...).
Monday - Dream Theater Concert.
That's about it, a 4ish hour drive up there, ate at Wendy's, and then waited in line for the concert. Though it was a long wait, it was worth it. Dream Theater is so good, they are all so great on their instruments. After that went to the hotel (which by the way is the only time we paid for sleeping arrangments). We tried to order pizza, that didn't work, then we went to McDonald's and Jake got questioned by the cops about robbing it. Sleep.
Tuesday - Drive to Columbia.
We drove to Columbia, and a few other towns. On the way we stopped by The Cheese Store, really, how could we pass it up? They had some weird cheese, with free samples even. We tried some choclate cheese and cheedar with whiskey, both were pretty bad. We then drove to Ashland and I got to meet a lot of Jake's Missouri friends. They mostly just played music in Tyler's house (not me of course). In Ashland they have a pizza place called Pizza Haus, it's where we always hung out with other people, and it had good pizza. That night we went to stay at Connie's (Jake's God-mother) house. We weren't the only ones with the idea, his family was there too. They had a little birthday for him, we played 10-point pitch, with girls even (you might not get the significance of that last part). Sleep.
Wednesday - Ashland Part 2
More stuff in Ashland, more pizza, more people I didn't know, more music. We also went shopping in Columbia this day. It was also supposed to be the day we were going to see Blues Traveler at the Blue Note, but they were the night before, we were told wrong. I bought a CD (Fates Warning - Parallels) and a poster of Radiohead's Hail the the Thief. There are at lof of neat little stores by Mizzou. We slept just out of Columbia in Jake's cousins' house. They have a nice house. Sleep.
Thursday - To B'ville.
Argh, I'm getting really tired of typing, I'll continue this tomorrow. Bye.

Song: Queensryche - Empire
Jacob is in now, and was yesterday as well. Yesterday was also my step-sister's birthday party, I bought her Santana - Abraxas; she seemed to like it. I hung out at Payam's a lot yesterday, quite a few people were there. Around 10 we started watching Freddy Vs. Jason. The movie wasn't bad, nor was it that great. For a description think of a standard horror movie, only with both Freddy and Jason as the bad guy, then have them fight in the end. When that was over I came home.
Once home I got online and started talking to people. My thoughts were confirmed, but I don't know what to do about it. Not that it's bad or anything like that, just different; anyway I don't really want to get into it here.
Yeasterday was good day, and spring break is just starting, I can't wait for the rest of it.Comments

Song: Fates Warning - A Pleasent Shade of Gray
Mark today in the calenders, I actually did several things outside of the house today. But first there was school which went pretty well, a few things could have been better (same as everyday). After school I hung out in the band room after school as usual, talked to people as usual, all for no reason. Came home played a game of StarCraft with Mike. Then went to play Frisbee/Disk Golf with lots of people. Then played another game of StarCraft with Mike on my team, we won without question. Next came the mall. At the mall we played some DDR. It's been toooooooo long since I've done that. I thought my knees were going to give out after doing just 2 games, I need to get back in shape. Granted the songs were hard, I should have been able to walk after just 2 games (8 songs). So yes, I actually did stuff other than sit on my computer, yay. I lead a pretty boring life, I guess that's good at times though. Even if I don't have any stories to tell anyone, seems to go with my personality, I just don't care usually. I don't set out to do anything fun/interesting nor do I put myself in a situation that could be. It also seems like I'm in the right place at the right time for nothing to happen. Ok... time to end this, bye.Comments

School has been nice these past few days. There hasn't been much homework which is VERY good. Tomorrow is a calc test and it shouldn't be too bad, but I don't get Euler's Method very well, I should look over that. Other than that there isn't much else to talk about. In the next few days I'll be leaving on a road trip, so I won't be able to update, [sarcasim] hope you can live without me posting [end sarcasim].Comments

Song: Radiohead - The Bends
Today school was pretty good, afterward came home, tried, but didn't work. Then I went to play Frisbee Golf, I was pretty good at it expecailly for it being my first time to play the real way. From there I went to my dad's, talked about college quite a bit, I'm feeling a little bit better about it now. It'll still be kinda scary though.
So Sean informs me that the Dream Theater concert is this coming Monday, and not a day during school, like previously thought. I really want to go, it'll be cool. Yeah... I'm getting bored writing this now, goodnight.

Song: Spock's Beard - Devil's Got My Throat
Today was much better than yesterday. I did finish my paper with plenty of time to spare, though the ending was pretty weak. She looked over it today and gave it a B-, so I very pleased. There was nothing major I needed to change just this and that, and my appendix. Spring Break will be nice, I can't wait.
Neal Morse is a brillian music writer, everyone must listen to him.

Song: Rush - A Passage to Bangkok
Yesterday around 5 all my stree hit me. I have so much crap to get done, I shouldn't even be updating this. I have 2 more pages to write tonight for english, I have a physics test that I'm not ready for, I need to get more info on Keats (I hate poetry), I'll be needing to read Frankenstein, and band isn't helping one little bit, but I won't go into that. I'm also starting to get a slight headache. 5 Days to go.

Song: Zero 7 - When it Falls
So I just got done reading people's journals and it seems to have made me a little depressed. It seems like just about everyone has something interesting to write about. Wether it is proving a teacher wrong, learning about your family, out of the ordinary things that they did that day, or their boyfriend/girlfriend. Over the past few days the only thing partially interesting thing that has happened to me is homework. Yes, after thinking about the past few days, that's all I could think of. Today I was at Eric's and played some GameCube, nothing to exciting from that, then I went to Chris' to do homework, then I went to Mike's to do more homework, then I came home, and played some StarCraft. Yesterday wasn't much different from other school days. Band sucked, English was alright, Calc was alright till the tests were passed out, com-sci was good (but it always is), physics was alright, and spanish was boring as usual. After school, I came home, sat in front of my computer for a few hours, then went to Eric's. Nothing too exciting there, other than Chris falling.
Another thing that makes it a little worse is today had such great weather. I have nothing that I can do outside. My bike is broken, my roller blades are broken (have been for a few years), shooting a basketball by yourself while on a hill isn't very fun, and I just had so much homework that needed to get done, which I didn't do a whole lot of. Tomorrow I want to finish up my english essay, that might not happen because he calc test is due Monday and I'm lost on several of the questions. I still need to read up on Romantism and Keats. There is just too much stuff going on to do anything. Not having anyone to do it with makes it even worse. [Thinking about taking that last line out, but not going to]. Well this has succeeded in makeing me feel even worse, so I think I'll stop now.

Rain Rain go away, come again NEVER. I hate rain, and that's all there was today. Roads flooded, wet shoes, and car battery giving out making my power steering go out. Today I made $2 worth of copies for my appendix at the library and printed several pages on my computer. Other than that I didn't really accomplish much. Revised my paper some.

Another short post, sorry, but I was working on my english for a while and lost track of time. I've now got almost 5 pages, and I still have a 5 days to write so I'm not worried. I'm also starting to get physics, but calc is still a problem, it'll probably stay that way as well... *sigh*

Song: Neal Morse - Testimony [Both Discs]
No rants tonight, I've already typed quite a bit. I worked on my english project for a while, got done with poetry, it ended up being pretty short though. Oh well, the art will take a while and peridoicals won't be a problem. I tried to do some of both phys anc calc, I'm so lost, I think I'll go in early for help on phys; I can't seem to start any of the problems. Jazz band was fun tonight, we are sounding pretty good, just need some more saxophone. And comments might be added tomorrow.
Life is soooo confusing.

Song: The Beatles - Blue Jay Way
I had some really good things to write about, but now I've forgotten them. Maybe it'll come to me as I just the ideas float around my mind. I keep thinking about writing about it everynight, but by that time I've always already updated this, so tonight I'm hoping to finally get it out. OH!!! I remember now. KIDZ BOP 5. How incredibly gay it is. It has the popular piece of crap songs of today sung by kids. The Outkast song, come on, kids shouldn't be singing that, it probably has a word or two in it that is inapporpriate for them (just guessing because it is afterall Outkast). If the song is "bad" then they shouldn't be singing it. Also they have the balls to put in Beatles' references in the commercials!!! At least two that I know of, and you probably do as well. It has kids walking on an Abbey Road type crosswalk thing, but that's not all; they have to go and be hip with it and make the kidz stop, reverse, then continue walking. The other one I've noticed is Yellow Submarine. Only this one is blue, but it's the exact same shape and style, everything as the original. This can't be just a mere coincidence. What are the commercial makers trying to do anyway by putting this in the commercial? I see a few things. My favorite 1) They are trying to satire the crap that kidz are listening to now by showing us, knowledgable people, the Beatles are what true music is about and it's lasting effects on us. I would bet that several people would be able to recognize the Abbey Road and Yellow Submarine references if given the chance. 2) They are trying to appeal to the adults that would be buying these CDs for their children. "Hey they have stuff like the Beatles did, maybe this stuff will be like that and be influential in my child's life, I think I'll buy this for them." And 3) Because they are uncreative and have to use one of the best groups of all time even after decades of their passing for ideas. ARG!!! For some reason all this really bothers me, as you can probably tell from this rant, I'm glad I got that out, it was fun as well.
Why do I get myself into these things... I thought I was over it, but today I realized I wasn't. But it isn't nearly as bad as it was. (And yes I'm being very vague, on purpose, as usual). I need to do something about it too. Ok, enough typing, time to attempt homework again. Oh yeah, read about the war here.
