Think again

2009-02-05T03:04:00.000-05:00

Who are you to say what life's about?
I'm sorry to inform you of your mistake
I see the parade behind all your lies
and everyone is having a great time

You think you know. Think again.

I see it happen throughout my life
False idols and ideas fill our imagination
Since when did you care about my dreams?
Sorry hun, but you still can't see

You think you know. Think again.

And now I sit here and daydream
about the days I've dreamt
I miss the days I've dreamt
So where is the peace we had
it always flies away
won't see it another day
This is all the same

Triple Double U

2008-07-31T01:39:00.003-05:00

It's 2 AM and I'm still up
I must be crazy or something
But don't take me away to that padded cell just yet, hold on

I really enjoy our little talks
over the triple double u
I can't imagine sleeping without this

I can't wait until tonight
to have our conversation
Let's make a time late tonight
to have our conversation
make sure to check your connection
I hope its good
I hope we have a connection,
and I hope its good

The daylight never seemed so long
I wish it would go by faster
I would root for the moon in any fight against the sun

I'm looking through these windows to find your name
and when that little message comes up,
I can almost here your voice talking right through it

I'm so glad we have tonight
to have our conversation
My day doesn't end just right
until we have our conversation
I'm making sure I have a connection
I hope its good
I think we have a connection,
and I hope its good

Technology will lose the fight
the night I see your face
Technology will lose the fight
the night when your arms are what I embrace
Technology will lose the fight
and you and I will still have that connection

Dreaming

2008-07-29T13:14:00.003-05:00

I've been writing again...yay...this may not be the final draft, considering I've been changing things around still. But anyways, its a rhyming one:

Last week I had a dream
It was of you and of he,
your new man sitting right by your side
Laughing with him, almost to a cry
and the best part of my dream
is that you were thinking of me

I awoke very sad that day
because it was my mind who performed the play
And as he danced his dance and sung song
my heart agreed with me that it was wrong
and the best part of this morning
is that he was thinking of me

Oh Ohhhhhhhhh
I can't seem to win
Oh Ohhhhhhhhh
It just all starts again
I go through my day
living life the same
and Oh ohhhhhhhhh
I know I'll dream again

Then again that dream came to me, as I said
but this time, you were alone in your bed
Crying and throwing things around
And your new man, well he was no where to be found
Is this a nightmare, or a dream come true?
I wouldn't want this to be wished on you
I just wanted a happy night alone
I wish every night was a happy night alone
But we all know there's no such thing as a happy night alone

Oh Ohhhhhhhh
I just can't seem to win
Oh Ohhhhhhhh
It just all starts again
You win some, you lose all
You raise up and then you fall
and Oh ohhhhhhhhh
I hope I don't dream again

Last night was the final draw
you were sitting next to me
and you said you were sorry,
it was all a misunderstanding
And right before the kiss,
I pinched myself,
I got rid of it

Oh ohhhhhhhh
I just found a way to win
Oh Ohhhhhhhh
it'll never start again
Will it really stop,
no one really knows
I'm sure this will cause this madnesss to come to a close
My mind will wish he never played those tricks
On me
Oh yes, this will be his final act tonight

Two Cents

2007-12-13T22:19:00.000-05:00

I lead a troubled life
filled with anger and regret
I'm afraid I will not be able
to fulfill my destiny,
accomplish my goals,
live my dreams
But the world doesn't
need to know my worries
I do not wish for everyone
to look at me
with sympathetic eyes.
No.
Instead, I wear this mask
of apathy
and pretend life is okay
Life goes on without me
and doesn't care to stop
and say,
"Everything will come together
someday.
Don't let go of your faith
or hope.
You will see one day that
this was a joke. (all worth) After all the
sacrifices you made.
You will hear them say
Everything will come together
someday"

Until that moment,
I sit here and wait,
wondering if I should live
my life without any danger
or risks.
No more worrying about
that true love,
the right answers,
the ultimate goal.

But then, I realize
that I cannot risk this.
I cannot take that chance.
There may be an easier path
to take.
But which?
Who will tell me where to go?
Who will be my guide?
Why can't I take action and
do what I want?
Who will criticize my doings?
And why would I even care?
I cannot make a promise
that my life will change when
I do take charge.
But I know my two cents
will matter somewhere.
With someone.

Washington D.C.

2007-11-19T12:06:00.000-05:00

So, I went to DC. True story. Purpose: go see Broken Social Scene. Time period: Friday - Sunday/Monday morning. Details:

Friday
-------
We wanted to leave at 8:30 in the AM to head out on this journey. Well, I was the loser who had 4 classes Friday morning, so I had to delay our departure for another 4 hours. Finally, 12:30 came around, I came home, Ralph was out buying his sweater (which really turned out to be a zip-up shirt...awesome Ralph), and Troy and Eamon were ready. We (Troy) loaded the car (Troy's) with everyone's (everyone's) luggage.

NOTE: Troy's car fits 5.

We planned on having 5 people in the car. It was going to be cramped, and I knew that. I also knew I wanted to play guitar in DC. Well, I decide to bring it along. In the end, it was an amazing decision. At this time, on Friday morning, it seemed like an idea Lucifer would think of for torture. Plus, Ralph brought his guitar too. Awesome. The two guitars pretty much counted as two more people. So, 6 people were in the car already.

We finally headed out towards DC. 13 hour drive. Ralph sitting left-nut, me right-nut, Troy driving, Eamon shotgunned. 3-4 hours into the trip, we had to kidnap/pick-up our guest passenger: Bryan (aka Fitz). So, now there are 7 people in the car, and Fitz is sitting bitch. 7 - 9 hours left...

GOING-UP: The trip going-up was pretty much the worst part of the entire trip. It consisted of:
- back seat crampness thanks to guitar1 and guitar2
-loud music, which wasn't a problem until Eamon or Troy tried to talk to us, which lead them to believe that we were both deaf and lead Ralph and I to believe that the music was to loud
-Lots of questions-about-certain-songs being asked quickly followed by (sometimes more than once) of Troy-is-to-annyoed-by-these-dumb-questions-answers answeres. This was actually pretty funny to me, since it was usually Ralph asking the questions
-Awesome gas-station food
-I'm not a very good car-ride sleeper, so not to much sleep
I can't say the trip going-up wasn't fun, because it was. These things just made it kinda less fun. Whatever...

Late Friday/Early Saturday
--------------------------
Finally, at 2 AM, we arrive at the US capital. Yay! We look around for some sort of parking only to find its valet only. Which is fine, except they park the car in some sort of underground Alkatraz/Matrix/Mayan Temple parking garage. And the only way of going to it is with the valet guy as your guide. So we got out what we could and went to the hotel room. We met up, or just looked at (they were sleeping), the other 10 people in our DC journey (Staci, Kristi, Jenni, Karen, Lee, Thomas, Judy, Alayna, Lily, and I think that's it...hopefully...sorry in advance). We did not last to long in the room since we had the brilliant idea of skating in DC at 2 AM! It was a very good idea, so we went. The weather was better than I predicted. I thought it was going to be cold enough for another ice age. But it turned out to be just as cold as the colder days in Florida. Our skate adventure didn't last very long, but it did include some favorite memories. We skated down a few blocks, Ralph ate it really hard, found the DC "Love Park", saw the capital, Ralph lost "$25", and that was it. We went back to hotel. Eamon, Ralph, and I walked around DC some more. Back to hotel. Found out that I was sleeping on the floor. And also saw that there were no pillows or blankets or anything. Awesome. My back still hates me.

Saturday
--------
Woke up around 9AM because Saturday was our "tourist" day. Museums, monuments, cool stuff were to be seen today. I was down with it, but I wanted to actually sleep for more than 4 hours. Whatever. We all go down to get some "wake-up" liquid (coffee) and chit-chat. Then, someone wanted some bagels or something, so we all headed out for a bagel shop. After 10 blocks of walking, waiting, crossing, and stopping went found a bagel shop...CLOSED. Awesome. We start heading for some cafè to meet up with Karen's amazing Uncle. We call him Krunkle thanks to Ralph. Along the way to the cafè, we find a Himalyan shop. Troy invested in a hat I'm sure he loves more than me. We meet up with Krunkle and chit-chat some more. We then head to our first museum:The Smithsonian of DC. Free is always nice to hear, and it was nice since the museum was free! yay! Krunkle caught everyone off guard when he decides to actually spend money and some 3D IMAX movie tickets for us. The movie was pretty cool looking, everything flying at my face and just goofing around, while still being educated (always a good combination).

After the movie, we check out the rest of the museum. I discover I want to become a Rastifarian (or just semi-Rastifarian...). We then left after about an hour of museuming it up. We walk towards the White House. Ralph pays a homeless guy to take his picture. I pay nothing and take a picture anyways. We arrive at the White House, the Washington Monument behind us, and we all do the tourist "ooh-ahh"ings. Pictures were taken. Laughs shared. Babies crying (thanks Ralph). Then, more walking.

Our group was split off in two, the people who stayed with Krunkle, and then us losers watching skateboarders in Freedom Plaza. Basically, we went off without the girls. Someone thought they went back to the hotel, so that's where our destination was. On the way, many crazy homeless men stopped us. One even got $6 out of us. Lame.

Back to the hotel. No one was there. Awesome. We all decided we were starving and wanted food. Fitz "remembers" about some mall with an amazing food-court. So we head out with no directions, only instinct. After about a hour of walking in circles, we found the so-called "amazing food-court mall"...CLOSED. Everything was CLOSED! Troy then decides he wants to visit China town. Be Tee Dubs (BTW), this was at a time of darkness. So, we decided to just let Troy go on his own adventure, and let us eat McDonald's.

LATE SATURDAY
-------------
We came back to the hotel, and eventually everyone else did too. Eamon, Ralph, Tom, Lily, and I jammed out some gnarly tunes on the guitars. Lily murders my E-string (No worries...I still hate you...just joshin). Ouija becomes a hit single of a future band.

After this, some stuff happens. But I'm leaving it with this quote:
"What happens in DC, stays in DC"

I will tell you it had a lot of fun stuff I wish I could tell you. It invloved challenges, leaning buddies, spider-women, some CVS time, cookies and milk, and lots and lots of laughter. If you really wanna know, ask me.

SUNDAY
------
After an amazing night, our last day started with everyone wanting food. So we set out our hunt for food, and after walking at least 27 blocks, finally find a restaraunt where we all could eat. The group was then split off again, with the kids who wanted to skate in DC, and the kids who wanted to go to the zoo in DC.

So Troy, Fitz, Eamon, and I go down into the metrorail. Get tickets back to hotel. Get boards. Seshed. I actually got footy, but it is horrific. Eamon got footy too, and it was goooooooood. Troy remembered of a spot that was suppose to be chill. I guess it was, since we NEVER FOUND IT. 2 hours spent looking for this "chill-spot" and we just eneded up going to Freedom Park to skate.

After seshing, we go back to the hotel to start packing before the show.

LATE SUNDAY
-----------
After packing, we get the worst directions possibly imagined, Troy packs the car, we then were off to Club 9:30. Without any help from the directions, we finally get to the club and wait in lines.

The show was amazing. If you have never heard Broken Social Scene, you probably don't know the true meaning of peacefulness. Honestly, I didn't know any but 3 of their songs, and I was still moved (emotionally) as if I wrote every song. The entire mood was perfect. No problems what-so-ever.

After the show, we said our good-byes. Numbers exchanged. Crying...? Maybe not. We then head on the road back home.

GOING-DOWN: Going-down was not bad at all. Ralph and I figured out ways of holding the guitar to make us feel a tad-bit more comfortable. Nobody was complaining about anything. We were all just talking about how amazing our weekend was. I then fell asleep for a little. Meanwhile, everyone is talking about some crazy story when they were little. I knew because I could hear them and eventually woke up to some really bad/funny stories. At midnight, Troy had to give up his driving privlages since the law asked him to...for 3 MONTHS! Ralph was the first volunteer to drive and drove up to the point where we needed to drop off Fitz. We said our good-byes for Fitz, threatened him if he doesn't come up soon, we would kill him, and got back in the car. Ralph volunteered again, but not for long, since tiredness overtook his mind.

EARLY MONDAY
------------
So, now with Ralph out, I was chosen as driver. Yay! I kinda wanted to drive when the sun was coming up. Just because I thought it would be cool to see happen for once.

The main difference between my experience driving down and everyone else's was the talking. Everyone was talking when Troy, Ralph, or Fitz was driving. My turn came around and everyone dies. I didn't care that much until about 8 AM, I started to get that blacking out feeling. After almost hitting a semi, I decided to wake up. I drove until we needed gas again, at which point, Ralph insisted on driving, since I told him what happened.

Finally, at 10:30 AM, we arrive on University Blvd. We go to UCF, since I forgot I had a test this morning, and it started at 10:30 AM. I get dropped off, bomb the test, go back home, typed this up, and now am going to sleep.

I will close out with the following. This weekend has definately been one of my favorite weekends ever. I'm serious, its way at the top of my list. Not the top, but really close. I can't wait to take another trip like this again. Or just be with the same awesome people somewhere. I'm sure it'll happen sometime soon. You should come.

I made an enemy today

2007-10-18T00:12:00.000-05:00

I made an enemy today
and destroyed a long time dream
What a waste of my mind
to think I can make things come clean
I feel like everything I done in the past
has made my present useless
I need to get away from everyone,
for my own personal reasons
But seriously, how do you react
when she is done?
When she has no intention of moving
forward, at least without you
I'm sorry, but I've been reading
and I know my chances
I can and will take risks
for that last drop of hope
that I will repair and
get my broken dream

Akward

2007-07-14T02:44:00.000-05:00

nice seeing you again
the only thing that kills me
is the fact
that you are opposite

Best

2007-07-11T23:39:00.001-05:00

A minute talking
A sentance finished
A conversation
have been the best things my life has recieved from her

I think a whole day with her would seriously be the only thing better

Missing piece

2007-07-09T01:46:00.000-05:00

Wow, so I'm finally 20. I finally got a fisheye for my camera. Also, finally got pdubs (pocket wizards) for my flashes. I finally am gonna be on my own soon. I finally have a job where I can chill and work, and still get respect from. I finally am starting to think life can't get any better than this...

and then, finally, I remember what is missing. (sigh...)

Ant's New Apartment

2007-07-06T14:52:00.000-05:00

Wow. I am probably gonna be the last kid to ever live somewhere cool. Anyways, here are some pics of the little "get-together" Ant had:

Yay

2007-07-05T10:40:00.001-05:00

Happy Birthday Me

A Marvelous Day Indeed

2007-06-22T09:07:00.002-05:00

YAY!!!

My priorities have changed

2007-06-15T01:06:00.000-05:00

Alright, I know how gay I've been the past few months and whatnot. But now that someone has told me to move on with my life, I think I am ready to. What priorities could I possibly have right now? Well, my dreams are definately a desire. Some have already been broken, but who says you can only dream once? Or have only one dream? I plan on pursuing my "career" in photography and I plan on actually getting my name out there...somehow. I kinda need ideas/models/better ideas to accomplish this. But I'm sure many of you will help me out. School is a dumb priority. I really have no more motivation to finish fast to get a job so I can live by myself. I don't care about how much money I'll be making, because there's no point in making it, unless I have someone (not me) to use it on. Those are pretty much my only priorities in life right now. Finding another "lover" is def at the bottom of my list. I'm not turning gay or anything, and I am not trying to wait for anyone (maybe.......), but I just don't feel I am able to start completely over with this whole love game. I'm sure in like a few years, I will feel ready to start over. But as for now, my life is my dreams. There's a nice myspace headline for you losers.

Goodbye

2007-06-14T21:26:00.000-05:00

My love
I hope you're right
when you tell me
we may cross paths again
But for now,
I will weep nights away
hoping that day
comes sooner.

I will always love you and will miss everything about you.

Whatever it takes

2007-06-14T01:04:00.000-05:00

You have no idea, do you?
Call after call, text after text
and no reply.
You think you can try and
keep me in this game of yours?
Using him for whatever he has,
that, for some reason, I never had.
Then, on that "off day" of yours,
call me and act like you are my
best buddy.
Stop giving me hope.
Making me think I can somehow,
someway, whatever it takes, can get
you back.
Stop teasing my emotions
and flat out tell me.
I will probably die if you tell
me you are done.
But it would be worth it.
I won't have to waste my time
trying to figure out what to tell you,
when to tell you,
and what you may say.
Because right now, at this very moment,
I am thinking of trying to get you back.
Into my arms.
Into my life.
Whatever it takes,
I need you back.
Whatever it takes,
I need your love.
Whatever it takes...

In case you haven't seen it

My Sleepy Girl, originally uploaded by DavidNewtonPhotog.

(sighhh) I miss this

Dot Dot Dot

2007-06-11T00:12:00.000-05:00

I woke up this morning, hoping today would be different.
Instead
all my memories came back to haunt me.
I stared at myself in the mirror
with each stroke of my toothbrush
only thinking of all the times you "made" me
brush them.
I passed each and every shirt in my closet
thinking of how many times I worn it,
according to you.
I sat in my car, and could not stop trying
to place my hand on your leg,
only to feel empty space, and AC cool air.
I passed by all your favorite restaraunts,
as well as all the fast food joints
you've always hated.
The tunes coming from my speakers
were songs you were in love with,
which made me love them.
Every road was a significance,
whether it was the road to your work, house,
or a road we passed by.
Our "first moments" always occur
in my memory as if
they had just happened.
There is not one moment of my day
where you are not somehow in my mind.
And the thing that is troubling me
is figuring out if this is leading me anywhere.
It could be showing me the truth,
or it may be showing me what I have lost.
There is no ending to this curse.
No cure for this cold.
Only more and more memories
for me to relive, only this time,
alone

Sitting here

2007-06-06T23:57:00.000-05:00

You have no idea how much I need you
I am counting the days for when I can get you back
You will break up with him
after you realize he is not me
He has no purpose for you
and it kills me watching you
play with him
as he plays with you
But one day
you will see the truth
and I will be there, waiting,
for you
My arms wide open and my skin
longing for your touch
I can almost feel you now
falling into my chest
shedding your tears
as mine fall into your hair
That moment will be at its peak
when we both exchange those three promising words
"I love you"
back and forth
and back and forth again
But as for now, I sit here
watching my tears form puddles
in my hands
I sit here
waiting for that day
I sit here
waiting for you
You

Page

2007-06-05T16:12:00.000-05:00

How could you not see this coming?
You cried and cried
over what you called "love"
when in actuality, you lied
Thanks for those breaks
and I hope you had fun with
them
The ending, most would say, was
very mutual
But I saw you ending it way before the
arriving date
That was kind of a fast
recovery from your
first love romance
This is all to much
and I can't bare it
no longer
I'm not sorry for this happening
and I'm glad to do it
There is no chance in hell
I will be one of your "ex best friends"
I will not wait for another opportunity
for you
You are done
You are gone
You are completely voided out
of my life
I've been told not to hate
but this term seems perfect for you
No matter what you say back
"I'm rubber and you...glue"
Goodbyes are for happy moments
so I'd rather use "Peace"
It's harsh, when used right,
and ironic as well
So if you ever come back to this page
and decide to read everything
Make sure you've memorized this
little page in my book
Because your page has already
been torn out and used for my fire
to find "That someone else"

Peace

edit: This is just way to mean for me...jeez...meaning I don't mean it anymore...

2007-06-05T01:12:00.000-05:00

and the rest is dumb

I'm really sorry for saying this...

2007-05-14T23:28:00.000-05:00

but I need to get away from this place. It's not Boynton Beach's fault or anything (which I think would be really weird if it was), but whats Boynton Beach has in it. Okay, thats confusing. Let's just say I am so ready to start over. A new life, all by myself. Don't get me wrong or anything. I still am gonna miss my family (FROST!), and a lot of my friends, and I'm sure that they will come up and see me every once in a while. However, the problems will not follow them up. Orlando will have new problems and I will find better solutions. Whatever, I'm done "ranting" or "complaining" or "...".

BTW: This is my last "Teen" year and its ending in 2 months, so I need to do something this summer that is so crazy, I won't forget it. Any ideas?

Check this out

2007-05-12T20:18:00.000-05:00

Okay, go here:
http://inprintmagazine.com/blog/

and look at the picture on the left. Nice. I'm a little happy.

Remember when I almost dropped my Physics class?

2007-05-07T22:52:00.000-05:00

I am sooooooooooooooooooo glad I didn't. I have so many people to thank for telling me (directly and indirectly) to stick with it and go through with it. I'll tell them here and in person.

THANKS!!!!

One problem ends, so another begins...

2007-05-07T00:09:00.000-05:00

Everything was perfect up until now
well, not everything
there was a bump in my road
but i thought i had overcome it
when in actuallity
it casued a major leak in my fuel tank
causing me to eventually fall into
what the bump has left me with.

It just hit me
and it hurts
i never knew or imagined
this would really happen
i mean, i knew it was there
i ignored it (my choice)
and it just snuck up on me
and killed me
(or at least killing me slowly).

There is nothing I can do now
to stop this pain
i am a man who has chosen not
to show or tell emotions
so i plan on living the same.

But when those doors close
and no public eye can see
through them
i will be laying there
thinking of that bump
and what could've been.

I got the best compliment the other day at work

So I'm going to the Camera Shop in Delray to return a filter my mom bought. It wasn't her fault or anything, it was just a misunderstanding. I wanted to get a filter for infrared. I come home and I see a red filter. Ughhh....

I go and ask about any other filters for infrared (since there are some that block most light and stuff like that). The guys tells me that he has no idea if there are any other filters, and he thought it would be alright if I used a red filter. So I leave unhappy and unsatisfied.

As I'm getting in my car, I realized that Age told me of another camera store around here. So I decide to lurk around and try to find it. Turns out, it was right next to the Delray Bru's Room, which I've been to a million times. Sweet!!

I walk in, and I'm amazed at how big the store is, and all the stuff they have. Jsut then, I see it. In a glass case, on the top shelf. SX-70. I've been wanting this camera for a looooooooooooooooong time, but didn't feel like spending $150 (which is how much one usually goes on ebay...a good sx-70, not a crappy one) on one since I'm not a millionaire. I didn't want to look desperate, in case the guy tries to trick me or something, so I acted calm, asked about infrared filters, hands me the perfect filter, stoked that I got it, I tell him I'm just gonna look around.

So I'm looking at all the books and stuff for sale, stuff not for sale, stuff. I come back to that glass case and just stare at it. There are stickers on it that say something like PX124, "manual, flash, case", and 60. I'm thinking this is going to be a lot of money. I then make myself a commitment. If it is under $100, I'll take it.

I ask the guy if they are selling the camera (remember, I'm acting calm, so this was like a "Oh...uh...hey...you selling this right here?"). The guys comes over and starts telling me info about the camera that I already know. He tells me it is really hard to find the right film for it. I tell him, and kind of ask him at the same time, about a method to use regular polaroid 600 film. He tells me that it wouldn't work. But I knew.

So after talking about it, I ask about the stickers. Turns out, the whole package was only $60! And it came with a bunch of stuff. Two flashes, the camera, manuals, the camera case, and the bigger carrying case (which is probably the most expensive item of all of them). I calmly say, "Yea...uh...I'll take it".

Definately worth the price. Check out my flickr for some shots I've taken.

Wow. What a great weekend...

I'm kinda serious, kinda not. It all started Friday, when I didn't go to do my community service. And I really needed to do it that day to complete my early "departure" from probation. So, now I'm planning on ending in one more month. Crap...

So, what did I do? Eat with Josh and Chris. Then seshed my house. Then...work...which was not as bad as I thought it would've/could've been. It was busy, of course, but I managed to not kill myself. Even though I had some complaints, especially my favorite one (which is also my weirdest one) being "There are ants coming out of my fries". Yea...some Friday the 13th stuff right there.

After that crap, I was destined to see the Aqua Teen Hunger Force Movie, whether it being me by myself or having people tag along. Of course, the latter was the better option and actually happened. So, it was me, Ash, Chris, Josh, Johnny, Stencil, and Harold going to Muvico at City Place at 12:35 AM. The movie could not have been more funnier/weirder/better/confusing/awesome than it was. I loved it. And no, I wasn't high or anything.

So that was Friday. Saturday comes along, and I should've just stayed the night at work since I had to be there in the morning. Nothing special really happened, since I was working a double. Well, during the night shift, I made a decent amount of money since my partner was very dehydrated in the beginning of the shift, and then later on came back after having some water. But yeah, after work, I went home to go to sleep.

Sunday was alright, again waking up early to go to work. For some reason, it didn't seem that busy, but I was running everywhere. Everyone wanted everything at once. And since I am awesome, I left work this morning with a large amount of cash. Good thing too since I owed my sister $60. Yay...

And now I am typing this waiting to go to sleep to go to school tomorrow morning to see if I did, in fact, get a bettter grade on my retake tests for physics. Hopefully I did, so I can just cruise by the last test. Hopefuly...

Everyone is asking me about you

2007-04-12T01:20:00.000-05:00

and I have no idea what to tell them...

Thanks to someone

I finally quit my job

2007-03-22T01:40:00.000-05:00

Wow...tonight was my last night working at that sports bar. I've been bussing there for almost two years (in August), and I just had enough of it. My initial plans, when I first applied to work there, was to bus for a little while, then bump myself up to a server. Well, thanks to the great management, and that little sin called lying, I was never able to serve because of this or that (whatever excuse my manager decided to tell me). Anyways, I found another restaraunt that were looking for servers. It's not the best place, but I have plenty of friends working there, and plus, I need to get the experience for O-town.

So yeah, from now on, I'll be a server.

I need for this month and next month to be over with

2007-03-12T11:49:00.000-05:00

Okay, I've decided that I am not dropping my dump physics 2 class. I thought it would be easier to take in UCF with an easier to understand professor, and maybe with Troy. But, I just got my last test (that I completely bombed. Seriously, I had no idea what I was doing. All I did was put some stuff down that looked right) and I got a 72 C. So, I was thinking, this class right here, with this professor, is the easiest physics 2 there is. Physics 2 is meant to be hard. So, I'm pretty much screwed with this class.

Plus, the lab right now is so easy, I'm glad I'm taking it. I'm sure the lab at UCF would have been much harder and more complicated. But anyways, once April is over, I'll finally be free.

P.S.
All this talk of UCF makes you wonder if I even got accepted, huh?

well...I DID!

Pray for Ralph

2007-03-11T23:45:00.000-05:00

I know I didn't "update" this blogger or whatever, but things have happened. I'm not really gonna go into great detail about Ralph, but I will say he needs to be in everyone's prayers.

I'm sure the pictures alone can tell you the story. There are about a million pictures, so loading the all may take a while, depending your internet. Also, you can click on the picture to make it larger.

DISCLAIMER: These are the pictures I took. I'm sorry if you can't remember when I took them, it's not my fault. Don't come crying to me to take a picture off. These are staying right here. You can do as you please with any picture.

I seriously need help

2007-02-26T23:56:00.000-05:00

ugghhhh...

I've been calling so many people girls and other names for their cries of suffering in school.

Now is the moment when I call myself a name: hypocrit

I need to figure out what to do with this dumb class. It seriously is killing me. I am trying to just "get by it" and hopefully pull a C. But the torment it is giving me is just to much.

Withdrawl is one option I have. I can just say goodbye. I would still keep my scholarships (at least the one I need, Bright Futures). Plus, I would be able to take the class at UCF, with a better teacher, and (hopefully) Troy would be able to take it with me.

Staying in the class until it is over is my other option. I can see if I can defeat this monster class, and then I won't have to worry about it anymore. I mean, I'm sure there are plenty of other classes dealing with Physics, but maybe not this type. And even so, I still would have a better teacher than the one right now.

God...

I'm not dead

Who says money gets you everything?

2007-02-18T01:14:00.000-05:00

Wow. Today actually wasn't that bad. Well, here's the deal from this past week:

- I went to court to get my charges for that stupid Jai-Lai incident. Anyways, the charges are 6 months probation ($50 everytime I see him), $193 court fees, and 25 community service hours. Sucks.

- I owe my mom $200 every month for car insurance

- My job is hinting me to find another job since they are only giving me one day a week

- I recently went to Orlando to look at apartments to live in for my future schooling. Cheapest and best values are around $500/month

- School sucks more and more

That's what's been going on lately. If you didn't notice, I've mentioned a few things that dealt with money. Or actually, the lack of money I've had. So, I'm suppose to be saving up to go to Orlando, while being able to pay my $200/month for my mom, all those courts fees/probation fees are a pain, and my job is basically not supporting me with enough finances. So, a new job is definately in order.

Remember when I said today wasn't so bad? Well, my plans for today were to go skate the park (since I am so paranoid for skating anywhere else just in case I get into trouble(which by the way if it does happen, I get 14 months of jail time and $1500 fine)), then go out with Ashley. Well, the skating part sucked since it just wasn't my day. But then Ashley. Well, I told her I would take her out to eat. I'm thinking, "I can take her somewhere cheap" WRONG! I then had a mild panic attack realizing I can't take her anywhere since everything costs more money than I can spend. So, this date was screwed.

Well, it was screwed until Ashley thought of a perfect idea. Why don't we make dinner tonight? I thought it was a sick idea. Except for one thing...we both don't know how to cook anything. Siiick. Well wait, I don't know how to cook. Ashley does a little, but she even says she is iffy. So, we still go for the cooking idea and decide we want spaghetti. We take a trip to Publix, get the right supplies, go get a movie (in case we really screw up dinner, we can hopefully entertain ourselves so we can forget about our hunger), then come and start cooking. Haha...oh man, here's the good part. Everything is starting well. Ashley gets the ground beef going in the pan. She adds sauce to it for flavoring. Stirs the meat. Whatever. There is water heating up to boil for the noodles. The meat is still cooking, looking brownish/redish. Mmmmmm. The water is boiling, noodles added. More sauce added to meat. Just then, Ashley wants here garlic bread to cook, so when everything is all done, the bread will be too. Me being me (I "cook" everything in the microwave, or microwave oven) tells her to use the microwave oven. She would rather use the REAL oven. Alright...preheat to 350 degrees, add bread. Seriously, about 4 minutes later. I hear her say "FIRE!" Oh great. It wasn't actually that bad. Just some flames. I open the oven, Ashley throws the bread on the floor, I pick it up, and we turn the oven off. Smoke is everywhere. Dinner is ready!

Everything else survived and was very delicious, even the bread! Ashley said it sucked, but she was just sad since she thought I thought it sucked. Whatever. We rented "The Departed" and I watched it (Ashley fell asleep right from the beginning). I was shocked, but I won't tell the ending.

And now I'm here typing away. Thinking what an awesome night this was. Being able to spend it with Ashley, while not spending money. Yay. I just hope my financial problems come together soon. I hope...

There are soooooooo many things I could write about...

2007-02-08T23:53:00.000-05:00

..but I choose not to for the sake of everything in my life. I guess I can talk about my photography and how much I am enjoying it more and more. School sucks still. Job really sucks since I am barely working...which is funny since now is the time I actually need to start saving money. Ughhh...new job in the making? Anyways, all that stuff I said I can't talk about just annoys the crap out of me. I guess I'll just label it, 'IT' and not get in any trouble.

'IT' is really a dumb thing. 'IT' has nothing to do with me, but 'IT' stills annoy me watching 'IT' happen. While 'IT' is going on, there is still doubt and some past going on. Basically, 'IT' is the gayest thing ever. Sorry that you don't know what 'IT' is, but really, you do. You can see 'IT' in movies and stuff. I just wish 'IT' would end and everyone just see what they are doing and change.

Alright, that's my soapbox. Don't leave any comments...

4 Letter Word that Starts with 'F'

Flip out over
Fake feelings or just
Fave my dog and wave that
Flag over your head since you
Feel like you are dead inside, although your
Face looks dead already. No need to
Fall over me, just
Fear what I may do to you if you don't tell me a
Fact. But don't
Fret, for your best bet is to allow
Fate into your life, don't cause a
Feud with me, and let us run
Free and calmly. Don't discourage the
Fire inside us, but let me take you away
From that old time. Let it
Fade away. Never real, only
Fake. I know it may seem a bit
Fogy, but just trust me,
Flee with me, and then you'll see that I am no
Fool. So let's start our journey towards
Fame, in this game we call life. One step of a
Foot is all we need to get started. And no worries, I will not
Fail you. If I do, one word may leave my mouth, out of
Fury, rage, and anger I will scream out loud, like a tank,

oh man...that was fun

The planets were way off today

2007-01-09T23:08:00.000-05:00

So, I got arrested today. That's pretty much all you need to know. But if you want to read what happened...here:

So it's me, Ralph, Josh, Chris, Cory, Ant, and Johnny skating around northern West Palm Beach (45th streetish) and whatever. We get kicked out of a few spots and then we had to decide where the next spot would be. Well, I really don't know who's idea it was, and I don't want to blame anyome, but we decided that our next spot would be at this huge abondoned building. Sketchy is the word that came to mind when I first saw the building, and especially
when we made our own "entrance" by pulling up some door on the side of the building. Even with all this sketch, it was really sick inside, and also a little scary, but still sick. We walked around, looking at random broken things, and finally end up in this huge auditorium room. It was sooooo amazing. I'm pretty sure if what didn't happen next, I would seriously go back and take so many pictures. But anyways, everyone is skating this gap and all is well. Unfortunately, all is well for only a short period. I suddenly hear some voices from where we had made our "entrance".

NOTE: our "entrance" is also our only "exit" since we had no idea where anything was.

I tell everyone about the voices and we run the other way. We then realize that there is no other way out of this place and decide to just face the music. To bad the music didn't have a pretty face. Right away, we were told to be on the ground, face first, with our hands behind our backs. We get patted down, then cuffed, then taken to their station across the street. By the way, there were about 8 cops there. Anyways, we arrive at the station, get patted down again, got our personal items taken away, and we were placed in our distinguished cells. "Adults" (me, Ralph, Chris, and Josh) were placed in one cell, and the "Juvies" (Ant, Johnny, and Cory) were placed in another. A bunch of information needed to be taken down for the paper work the cops had to do, and they were going to do it individually too. So, the "Juvies" went first. Each had their parents called to tell them where they were and what-not. As the "Juvies" were getting questionaired, the "Adults" were finding ways of staying busy and non-bored. Such ways included talking, playing rock-paper-scissors (which I won all by the way), more talking, having "push-ups" competitions, and even more talking. Now, when I say talking, I really mean whispering real quietly, since the gay cops were yelling at us for being loud. Whatever.

As the "Juvies" were still giving their info, a cop comes to the "Adults" cell and takes some of my info down, then takes me to get my fingerprints. It was really weird since I was the only one to do it...for the rest of the time there!

Finally, the "Juvies" were done, and the "Adults" were next. They started with the two "adults" that had younger siblings. So, once Ralph and Chris were done, it was mine and Josh's turn. It went pretty well for
me, since all he did was talk about how much he hated computers. Josh, on the other hand, had done something right, since he came back to the cell with gum in his mouth.

So 4 hours later, the cops tell us that we are going to be released. They started with the "Juvies" first. Josh had just finished telling me that we shouldn't do anything dumb to get us back in here, when all of a sudden, Ant's voice is heard. Ant is asking the cop about his camera, and where it was. The cop didn't care less about him or his camera and starts yelling at him. Ant is talking back, saying he just wanted to know where his camera was. The cop gets so mad that he puts Ant right back in his cell, saying he is going to juvinille jail later.

The cop then releases us and tells us that we better not do this again (Duh) or it'll be so much worse.

We go outside to see some of the parents(the ones that were called) and we get even more yells at us, and other "I can't believe that..." with some "You guys should be...." and some more "blah blah blah".

Ughh...so basically, I got arrested today. We all are banned from that building, which, oh yea, is owned by the Don King himself (thanks officer for that fun fact), and we all are probably not gonna skate anywhere for a while.

Check out this kid's website for his story on finding us at the place. Thanks Harry!

Jet Lag

2007-01-07T01:42:00.000-05:00

I just got home from the NY, and let me tell you...it was siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiick! I know most of you
were hoping for a loooooooooong journal of my adventure. Well, it's coming soon. I want to see if I
can add some pictures to my story. And, since I didn't bring the digi, it'll probably take 3 days.

So...chill.

It's up to you New York, New York

2007-01-02T01:44:00.000-05:00

Sick, I'm leaving in about 2 hours for the NY and I'm still packing. Whatev. I'm kind of excited,
partly because we'll be staying right in the middle of Times Square. And partly since I will be able
to capture some visuals using a machine that traps time and light to form an image. Yea, pretty sick,
huh? I don't think there will be any kind of computer there, so I'm taking a notebook and writing down what's going down. I'll just scan the papers when I come back.

Alright, I'll see you later dawgs!

EDIT: It's about 4:30 AM and we're leaving for the airport. I got about an hour of sleep, and....later.

Hello 2007, my name is David

2007-01-01T03:53:00.000-05:00

Wow. What a dumb weekend. It all started Thursday (which I am counting as part of the weekend

for the sake of its my blog and I really don't care about you), that's when my "slave work" began, when was scheduled to close Thursday through Sunday (yay...).

Thursday wasn't that big of a deal. It came. It went by...slowly. It was over.

Friday, on the other hand, was something else. It came. It went by...this time, at little bit busier, and everyone was complaining as it went. And finally, it was over. I was pretty much dead after this. Good thing I worked again on...

Saturday was pretty much the worst out of all of these days. I already knew that there was going to be a UFC fight going on. And that a party of 40 was suppose to come in. AND also that two training managers were working by themselves. But what I didn't know, was that it was going to be packed before the dumb fight even begun (about 5 hours before the fight, too!). I also didn't know that I was basically gonna have to work all by myself since I had the two "best bussers in the world" helping me out. God...well, hold on. I've gotta give some slack to one of them. He's actually pretty good, but that night, he wasn't at his peak. THE OTHER ONE, OH MY GOD, HE'S PRETTY MUCH ON EVERYONE'S HIT LIST, IF NOT AT THE VERY TOP OF THEM. So yeah...it came, took to long to go by. And finally (I really was crying for it to be over), it was over.

Now Sundays aren't usually that bad. You know, I close, which means I also bar-back, which means I make a few extra bucks (depending who is bartending). But this Sunday already pissed me off. On account that it was New Year's Eve and I'm suppose to work? DUMB! But my mom, sister, and Ash love me so much, they planned on spending the night with me, at work.

SIDE NOTE: According to of my fellow employees, New Year's Eve has always been the slowest night of the entire year. And with that, the manager usually can run the entire restaurant normally with just the bartenders and one cook.

So I'm excited, thinking that I won't be doing anything. Just chill, you know? But unfortunately for me, this new year's eve was set on a Sunday, also known as he day of...football. So I walk in to the restaurant, and I'm confused because I see that it is a little bit busy, with people drinking, ordering food, and watching whatever game is on. So I'm still thinking that I won't be doing anything, and I forgot that I'm suppose to be bar-backing and what-not. Needless to say, about an hour into working, I was swamped with "little things" to do (clean

this table over here, then that table over there, check for bar glasses, check the bartender's bustubs, pre-bus this table, then that table, etc.). I was running around so much, that time was just a stranger, and I didn't bother paying any attention to it. Finally, after running around so much, 11 o'clock came around. Along with it, came my mom, Ash, my sister, and ("oh yea, I forgot to tell you" - my sister's excuse for what I'm about to tell you) ALL OF THE DRAMA DEPARTMENT FROM SANTALUCES HIGH! I felt so bad for the server, I had to help her out. Well, everyone is waiting for midnight, the bartenders are needing things less as midnight approaches, and my decision for the next hour was to spend time with my people. We all wait in the final seconds of 2006.

5...4...3...2...1...HAPPY NEW YEAR! Everyone is hugging everyone, kisses are going to their designated lover's lips, shots are going around, alcohol is killing pretty much everyone's liver, horns blowing, and everyone is happy together for about 10 minutes. After that, mayhem continued as everyone decides to leave. Well, not everyone. Everyone that was already here, decided to leave. Everyone from everywhere else, decided to come inside and try to spend their first hour in Bru's Room. So, back to my running around and killing myself, which doesn't stop until closing time (which is at 2 A.M. for all of you that don't know). Finally, Sunday came, killed me as it went, but it is finally over. Now I'm dead, body is gone, but hey, I'm (about) $400 richer because of this dumb weekend.

(4:45 A.M. EDIT:I just spent about half an hour counting my money I made, and it came to $497. Siiiiiiiiiick. This is why I still work at this dumb place)

So, as hard as it may seem, 2006 is finally over. We all said our goodbye's. Now let's welcome 2007 into our world. Hopefully, it'll be better. Hopefully...

Here are some pics of New Year's Eve night:

Here's what you get when you hand the camera to your mom, without setting the camera to "easy mode":

Group pic 1

Group pic 2

Group pic 3

Me and Daniella

Finally, after hearing her say,"D, the pictures aren't coming out right", I "fixed" the camera and now, better pics:

Me and Daniella 2

Me and Ash...awwwwwww

Me, my mom, and Daniella

CHOMP!

"So uhhh...you guys 18 or what?"

but seriously, this guy was so wasted, and tried to hit on any girl he saw, even my Ash. He stayed till the whole restaurant was done, and pretty much passed out on the bar. I'm not sure where he went, but who cares....right?

Sick sesh

2006-12-28T02:10:00.000-05:00

Finally, out of all the days that are considered my "break", I finally dedicate a whole day to skate.
Well, the first part of my day was saying bye to Ash, but after she left, BOOM! Skateboarding was my
new love. (If you read this Ash, I still love you, please don't be mad)

So, I meet up with the crew:
Ralph
Troy
Harrison
Chris
David (stoessol....I call him stencil)
Randy
Chase
and we chill at the mall for a while, actually to eat, then headed over to Flip Tricks. After sales were made, we decided that WPB was the first location in our adventure.

White tops was the place to rendezvous. Bangers went down.

Next spot on the list was bridge banks, which now has a box in the middle to make the spot more "fun". Bangers went down there too.

Burger King Break

Third spot of today...Coniston Three Block. Yay! Everyone was throwing down stuff. Some landed, some stuck, some broke their boards, and some even broke themselves. But needless to say, bangers definately were thrown (so of the were so called "lucky")

After that, David, Randy, Chase, Ralph, Troy, and Harrison all wanted to go. Chris and I still wanted to skate, but we didn't know where, or with who. Nothing a quick phone call from Johnny couldn't cure. Johnny picks us up, goes to his house to change from his work clothes, then we head over to the new West Boynton Skatepark. We wanted to skate the flatbar there.

We arrive at the park, and notice that some kids were already skating in the other rink. We join in their sesh, have a little game of skate (whose winner will only be revealed if you ask me) It was me
Our skate sesh was so done after the lights decided to go out. Sick. So we are about to go into the skatepark, when Ralph, Troy, and Harrison pull up. Yay. We all hop the fence and have a nice fun skate time skating the two flatbars, and a rainbow rail that I'm sure is really
meant for snowboarding.

Just then, a car pulls up, a man comes out with a flashlight, and we all try to run. There is only one exit(actually, one fence to easily hop over, the others are a little harder), so we were pretty stuck. The guy was a cop and told everyone to get out. We walk over to our cars, stand in front of the cop, he's acting all buff and tuff, he thinks we may have drugs somewhere, asks for our IDs, we give them to him (except for me and Troy since we "forgot" ours...in our bags...in the cars), then he realizes that all we were doing were just skating, but we tresspassed. He then gets all "I remember when..." since he use to skate way back when. Of course he use to skate. EVERY COP USE TO SKATE! Another cop comes over, I guess for backup or something, and they start talking about all these skate crimes they've seen. One cop recalls an event where two skate punks actually made a quarter pipe out of cement on some wall. After the cops leave, Chris starts laughing and tells us that it was him and his friend, both wasted at the time, that built the quarter pipe. Wow...

So Chris goes home, and the rest of us go back to Flip Tricks to hang out in front (since it was closed anyways). We just chat about different things, mainly about cameras, how stuff looks, how stuff is done, and the cost of stuff. I was hungry, and Ralph says that his "lady" (apparantly he gets hooked up by her) was working at the Denny's right next to us. So we go there and get some stuff to eat. We talk, eat, joke around, eat, Troy shows us what VX PAL looks like with some sick video, eat. Then get the bill, notice that half of it was free, give a big tip to her, then leave. Stand outside, talk, Ralph is skating, the rest of us just talk more about things, then we leave for our homes.

I wish I didn't have to work so I can have more days just like today. If I seriously didn't need money, I would quit right now. In fact, I don't really need money. Hmmmm.....

Thanks mom

for these amazing lights. Seriously, I'm not joking around here. Two tungsten lights setup, complete
with the umbrellas, tripods, and pretty much everything else.

I'm so stoked about this. All I need is a cool backdrop or something. And a new light bulb since one
of mine already blew out. Whatever.

Here's a sample: I desperately need models

Haha...wow

This is what happens when your mind takes control of your body:

"Christmas present, past and future just came to visit me. They all said they liked what the saw. Unfortunately, future still shows me my death and I pleaded for mercy. He laughed and said he was joshing me, and that I would live forever because I am in fact so amazing, life has no reason to leave me.

"Wow" I said as I opened my eyes to the morning sun. I jumped to open my window, hoping it would still be Christmas day. I saw a young boy walking the street. I yelled, got his attention and

shot him. For the true meaning of Christmas isn't about getting what you want in the morning. No. It is about the birth of our saviour, Jesus Christ. And everyone should be rejoicing for Him.

Why did I shoot that little boy? Psshhh...why not?

Besides, he pissed me off earlier."

haha...wow

For all the cool people

2006-12-25T18:59:00.000-05:00

She's coming over to get her present

2006-12-24T12:29:00.000-05:00

I really hope she likes IT

I spent a bunch of money on IT

She better love IT

Or else, death will be part of IT

I'm dumb...

Nothing really happened today

2006-12-22T03:07:00.000-05:00

So this will be short.

Hung out with Ash for a little bit. Yay! Watched Oprah and Phil.

Work. Busy. REAL BUSY. Free food though. For everyone. Then, died out. Most exciting thing after that was hearing a drunk woman claim that she had just gotten raped right outside by two men. Yeah, pretty scary, right? Well, its dumb. Reason why is because she was here earlier, which is how she got drunk, and the two "rapists" were the guys everyone saw she left with. Plus, about an hour after her statement, she left with some other guy.

Now I sleep and wake up to do something else.

Rock to Fakie on Lock

2006-12-20T21:18:00.000-05:00

That pretty much sums up today right there.

But for all that need it, here's my day:

1st thing I did was get up. I really wanted to skate and shred, so Josh was the one to call. I call and he
has plans with some dumb woman (aka "Mom"). Pssshhhh...dumb.

So I decide to tag along their date for the movies. Rocky Bal-"snake" was pretty good. I mean, I knew it was going to be an artistic sort of conclusion to all the Rocky
movies, but I still expected a pretty happy ending. Not that it wasn't, but I don't want to spoil it for
everyone.

After that, the skate sesh was so on. Unfortunately, the day sesh was not on. Night was creeping in and
Josh and I knew that WPB was a no-go. Plus, dummy (Josh) needed a board since he has a break-board fetish.

Now where can we get a board and still skate? Why SkatesUSA of course! Mini-ramp seshs are sick. Especially when friends come in to join in. And when you learn new tricks.

Now I'm home, hoping someone (Ashley or maybe Troy) can hang out tonight. Hmmmm...hopefully.

Spontaneous ideas require spontaneous action

2006-12-20T03:02:00.000-05:00

Thanks Ralph

For doing what you always do. Sleeping. Complaining. Slacking. Being Pissed Off. Blaming Everyone
Else in the World. 4PM. Of course it's going to be dark soon. THAT'S WHEN YOU FREAKIN' WOKE UP!

But on a positive note, my car is fixed! Turns out it wasn't the head gasket thing or whatever. It was the heating core of my car eating away all of my coolant. That's sick. A $1000 job to replace that piece of crap. Why am I happy then? Because I didn't replace that dumb thing. Instead, my good friend's dad told me of a way to bypass that junk. And it would only cost $100. Siiiiiiiiick. The mechanic sure was happy to hear this new plan (actually, he knew the plan, but didn't want to tell me). However, the $100 miracle has a set back. I don't have any type of heater. Which is a bummer because I live in Florida...right?

Straight from the Horse's Mouth

2006-12-19T01:07:00.000-05:00

Siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiick

My car sucks

2006-12-18T18:13:00.000-05:00

And I hate the fact that now I'm getting rides from people I use to give rides to. Thinking that irony
may have something to do with this. I hate that guy...

MIAMI SIIIIIIIIIICKNESS

2006-12-18T01:59:00.001-05:00

So, today was pretty fun. Went to the MIA and did some skateboarding and whatnot. Well, actually,
first we went to Riverwalk to get some hammers, but with our luck, a cop came by with his own hammer. He kicked us out for all you slow people.

Next stop was the MIA. And what better warm-up spot is there than "Kinked Ledge"? Or for all the people that may call it something else, maybe "Northwestern" or "The Ledge that Mark Appleyard fell on because of Fred's gay outfit" or even "Bam Margera's Awesome CROOK!!" Ledge. That ring a bell to anyone? Well, some kids got some clips. While I got some photos. Which reminds me...

NOTE: I HATE FLASHES. THEY ARE THE WORST POSSIBLE "PHOTO-HELPER" EVER! ALL THEY DO IS CAUSE MORE STRESS AND CONFUSION!

Alright, phew, that's over with. Next stop was the awesome Bayside. Now every time I've been here, the max time to skate is about 5 minutes before Mr.Idiot in golfcart decides to show up and kick us out. But not this time, we actually we able to skate for a good (I'd say) half an hour. Sick. No hammers, but legit tricks, went down.

:Lunch break:

Now where else could we possibly go while in Miami? Hmmmm...maybe everyone's favorite spot? MIA TOPS!!! (Or Abondoned Hotel, or whatever else you call it)

Hammers definately thrown down, and even more tricks that made Ralphie boy happy that he skates now. Photos...again...dumb.

Now some of us kids were wishing a rail of some sort would be right next to us to be able to skate it. Well, as we were getting drinks at a local CVS, our wish came true. Just kidding, we actually knew about "CVS rail" (or whatever the F you want it called). But we really needed drinks. No hammers (well, I don't think they would be considered that) went down, but some tricks were in the making. Again...Ralphie=happy.

So now we are on our way back home. yay....

Most kids just stop here and spend the rest of the night thinking about how the day went by or whatever. Well, not these cool kids! We decide to hit up one more spot. "Pebble Banks" (I hate anyone calling it something else) is the name, and mini-ramp tricks is its game. Seriously, I can see freakin' Song killing this dumb spot. I, however, can not see myself back 5-0 stall this since my lack of foot cordination. Awesome...

Well, that was my day in the MIA. What can I say? Unfortunately, to your dismay, I must say Good Day. Peace.

I'm an idiot

2006-12-17T01:16:00.001-05:00

My b for not posting in like what? Forever? Well, here I am again.

Lots of stuff happened. Finals are over, which may be the reason why I have enough time to write in
this dumb thing. Christmas is coming up and everyone is trying to get into the spirit. It's a good thing
to because Florida forgot what month we are in and decided to rain is best in December.

I only hope it snows in April then.

I dislike work very much

2006-10-27T01:47:00.000-05:00

Alright, tonight was just "amazing" (haha). It wasn't busy at all, people got yelled at, maybe people fired, found out who new big boss would be, and I closed. I hate working there soooooo much its not even hilarious. Seriously, I may be looking for a new job real soon. Somewhere I know I'll be happier. The money may not be as good but whatever. I'll live....maybe.

But as for now, go here and watch this video. It's amazing. And just in time for the holidays.

OOOOOOO

2006-10-25T02:20:00.000-05:00

I have a speech pretty much due tomorrow. I'm also a lazy, procrastinator. So this speech is definitely worth the F. Yea...can't wait.

Alright, so I guess "amazing" is amazing

2006-10-24T14:00:00.000-05:00

Ummmm...I guess this is going to sound silly. But, this day wasn't as bad as I was going to make it sound like. Turns out our homework for my first class was half due. She wanted us to look at it and then do it for homework today, due Thursday. What a nice lady.

Psychology was pretty good too, considering I got my papers in and I made an A on the test. I'm not bragging, but...I'm pretty much awesome.

So...now all that is left is my math class (Differential Equations for all of you thinking I'm dumb). Yea, I'll write after.

We all speak the same, but mean differently

2006-10-24T13:10:00.000-05:00

Alright, so today has been a very "amazing" day. Why "amazing"? Well, let's start with this morning, 1 AM (that's morning to me).

So I'm working on my articles for psychology, I'm finally done typing up all four of them (which have three pages each) and click print. My printer decides it would be such a cool guy and run out of ink. Awesome...

I then realize I still haven't studied for the psychology test tomorrow either. Sick. I decide to cram alot of what the test is going to be on tomorrow into my head and after "studying" I look back at my first page of notes, and NOTHING LOOKS FAMILIAR! So what do you do? Give up...

Now I go to sleep hoping the rest of the day goes smoothlier...more smooth?...better

I wake up and get ready. Everyone is telling me that I am going to freeze solid since its 60 degrees outside. What girls. I burn my papers onto a CD-R, drive to school, and suddenly remember that I forgot my "main" notebook (the one that carries a lot of my stuff from each of my classes) and my homework for my first class. And right now, I'm in that class waiting for the teacher to come and kill me. What an "amazing" day so far.

Not...

Oh sweet...

2006-10-23T23:01:00.000-05:00

I can't believe I was talked into making one of these things. I guess its a good thing though. I mean, I can't say I'm the non-laziest person, and I can't say I will be posting something every minute of the day, but I will say that this will be where I will write what I find interesting and what-not. I think I will use this blog as a little journal of my journey down the path of life (my older self must be chuckling as he is reading this, and now he is thinking how weird it was to mention him, and now you are thinkng that to). So, let this be the first step in this adventure. I can't wait...

Welcome to my blog everyone!
