the best weekend....ever

wow.....i can't tell you how completely exhuasted yet excited i am because this weekend was seriously the best of my life(or at least very close to it)....seriously, i really think that nothing can compare to this lol

friday started very bland...i woke up, ate, and decided to go with my mom to visit my grandma....then after, we went to kohls and i got some new clothes because a lot of mine are quite old and raggedy....so about this time, i get a call from....someone(i'm going to leave a lot of this out for privacy's sake-remember, this blog is an open invitation to my life, but not that of others lol!) so i'll shortly summarize wat happened....bhs, lets go to house, oh no lets not, make important call, armstrong park, back to other house....that's completely incomprehensible, the way i want it to be lol...anyways, bethanne, maura, and i went to the olive garden after school....they decided to change before but i went in pretty bad clothes and i understood y they changed whenever i got there and remembered how nice og is....it was a crazy time there...we(well bethanne) started throwing random things on the ground, then we got the soup/salad/breadstick thing and every time the waitress would come back, something would be gone....hahahaha....oh god, i could go on forever lol....anyways, i dropped off maura b/c she abandoned us to go camping, haha....anyways i dropped off bethanne and went back home....of course, that's not the end of things....later that night i ventured back over to bethanne's....we were watching her home videos until her bf got there lol....in which case the ddr challenge came up....i hadn't played ddr since the last time that i was there and wasn't very good on the hard mode and therefore lost both matches to bethanne, gg....twas a little weird after that, i won't expand upon that statement, but we did watch that movie drumline(i still didn't know what happened at the end or at all)....i left a little early b/c i thought i had to take my brother to canonsburg the next day

saturday comes, my mom wakes me up early and tells me she can drive drew(games both got cancelled anyways) so i went back to sleep....after awhile i decided to wake up and ran down to the store to get some things for the spanish picnic on sunday....after that i just chilled for awhile, i played a lot online, found a new source that can exchange play money for real which is quite good....about 10 gerner says that there is a game over paul neff's(lol) house...i decided to go to it...the structure of the tournament was extremely weird and we were only playing for 5 bux so i shouldn't have been serious at all....but for whatever reason i played it so seriously....most of the crew was unfamiliar to me(minus gerner, stock, coda, and paul neff who i really only talked to somewhat in algebra 2 back in 10th grade lol) so it was kinda weird but fun in the end....the next time i looked it was 2:00...i seriously should have been out by 12 or 12:30 at the latest, and for that i sincerely apologize to gerner about....i ended up in fourth, but the funniest comment of the night came from paul neff, the man himself....it went something like this....
paul- i can't afford much of anything right now, i just wrote a check for 406 dollars
random kid- to who?
paul- some kid i punched
hahahahaha

oh boy....sunday rolled around in typical fashion...me waking up late, getting ready to go somewhere...but anyways, today was the spanish picnic...it's one of those things that you know in your heart will be incredibly fun but you don't want to go to at first....i was kinda tired from the 2am night before but once i got to the picnic, i knew it was just going to be an all out blast....it started with dodgeball, in which i dominated lol...after that we went to traditional volleyball with senora's very weird net....i still think that over the two hours that we played the whole thing that the best part of it was my ridiculous serves....wow lol.....ahhhh after that it was about 4:30 and everyone was quite hungry, so we fired up the grill....i think ducker or someone was cooking...i got a somewhat burnt burger, but it was still all good...so of course, we have to get our gambling fix in for the day so zwirek, gibbons, and i invented a system(with the help of scott the snake munizza) of tracking a 5 dollar freeze out...the defining hand for me was when i called zwirek's allin with pkt 4's and the board was like J 5 6 2 2....i had a decent read on him and eventually went on to win the game...ahhh so after we decide to do ultimate frisbee where first period went up against sixth period....seriously, first period has all the athletes while sixth period was definitely losing the game all along(sixth period was my team lol) so after awhile, when absolutely everyone was tired, we decided to move on to a less intense game of kickball...it was class trivia kickball where we all wrote down a question about an interesting fact about a classmate...it was so much fun though, i think the game ended up almost tied even though we didn't have that great of players....next was wiffle ball, and by this time i was genuinly tired....but i still played and a team that was like me, scott klein, bro mccartney, bradburn, senora, and snake.....we basically slaughtered the other team, and by this time guido denies that he was drinking(remember, this party was supervised by senora, who is probably only 10 years older than us, if that) but i'm not sure, he was acting quite weird lol....so that went down, we returned to the pavillion for dessert...and of course senora is like, tackle football time....haha how ridiculous....the game ended up tied at 4 due to darkness, but i really think we were going to win....so after that the sun had descended upon that valley in south park....it was time for release....if you don't know what release is, then clearly you were not a kid at any point in your life and you should be abolished from all memories of your childhood days....after about 20 minutes of searching, we caught everyone but guido....we decided to end the game there because it was getting around 9:30...so we went back to the pavilion and for the next 20 minutes just lit up tiki torches and got a bonfire started in a grill....so senora says, we need something to do....and carmen suggests the ultimate test of man(or woman)hood, truth or dare....seriously, i really could not believe that senora would let it happen, but technically we're all adults and senora is the best teacher ever, so she also openly participated in it...i will not even discuss all of the things asked/dared...but a few of the questions i was asked was, have you ever stuck your dick in a fish and how many times do you beat off a week on average....it was seriously the most insane game ever and quite possibly the best time....ahhhh i can't even put into words how good it was, you would have had to have been there and heard the great things for yourself...well it was about 11:10 and i decided to go....i think the best luck i had all day(except being with all those great people) was not getting pulled over by that cop who asked about my headlights...i just made some shit up and he bought it....hahahaha.....

well, i'm not done yet....i have a few things to talk about here....first of all, i'd like to say that it is very possible to have the greatest times of your life with your friends without going out with anyone, as i have proven to myself this weekend....which raises another interesting question....is going out with someone that you had a lot of great time with worth it???? that is yet to be answered, i really can't truly back one answer, i don't know though, it is always my philosophy that it is better to have loved and lost than to have never loved at all...second thing, i'd like to mention that looking back on this weekend i realized how many memories i've actually accumulated over the last 4(in particular, the last 1.5) years in high school....not to steal from american beauty, but it's like i'm seeing all the beauty of the last 4 years at once and it's almost like it's too much to bear...then i tell myself to breathe, and it all comes through at once....most of you, who have never lost anything so significant as your whole routine that school has become for me for the last four years, which i have thoroughlly enjoyed, have no clue what i'm talking about....but don't worry....some day you will ;-)

ps- sorry for the length of this post if anyone actually reads this

the best weekend.....ever

class day

wow....things have been flying by so fast....ironic when you think about it, how you're always yearning for summer to come and then it comes for the last time and you're thoroughlly disappointed....

well today was class day....what can i say, it was crazy....sadburn and i got fiesta hats and went to the breakfast at 8:30...it was so good, i enjoyeed it a lot because we got to see quite a few people and talk with them for the last time ever...i don't believe the fact that we won't be seeing many of these people for the last time as most people were kidding around like it was a normal school day....ahhh well anyways we went driving around first to brentwood high school which was cool....then we decided to roll down 51 and then to corrigan drive...so here comes the fatal mistake part, turban suggested bethel park high school...hah, I'm warning all underclassmen, don't go there b/c they are the biggest bitches about this kinda stuff.....oh well, they blocked us in for like 30 minutes and got our names n stuff but they won't do anything i'm sure....so after that we were lookin for a place to play some cards and we found zwirek's house to be available....game was 6 ppl for 5 bucks...i ended up winning it after a long, long heads up battle with zach o after he had me like 3:1 to start heads up.....after that i was hella hungry so we decided to go out to the mall and hang out there.....btw i finally found a place at century 3's that has general tso's chicken(i think it's called manchu wok) but it was tasty and yummy even though the whole thing was kinda expensive...it was all good....well after that we traveled around in search of whiffle balls that would curve and to much avail because nobody carries them anymore but then we went down to ace hardware and found similar ones....to finish the day off we went over to turban's house and played basketball which was fun...then i came home and slept for quite some time and then just bullshitted around the rest of the night....

so, in conclusion, graduation is going to be tough for a lot of people....at least we have the whole summer before we start that god awful dreaded you have to try in place called college....lol

jubilating discomfort

the title is well, what is going on lately...i'll explain it lately

this weekend was pretty good....on friday i went with most of spanish 4 to the pirate game which turned out to be good(especially since they won) and after that i went over hrehas to play cards and although i didn't do very well, the eatnpark run was quite good although the damn buffet should have been open past 3am....anyways, on saturday i woke up and took my bro to his game and stayed for the whole thing as they won like 9-2 or something, then later gerner and i went over to zackos for the normal crazy game that they have over there....oh well, twas fun, sunday again i drove my brother to a game, this time to scott township, i could only stay for one game(the one that they lost) but they eventually split the series with like some pittsburgh all star team(go gbw yea lol), then i headed off to wallace and we had our first meeting for supercolt...it sounds rather intense and i won't lie, i'm pretty excited to play again, especially with the intensity at this level which then translates into success which translates to wins which translates to fun...yeah lol....the rest of the night(until 2 am lol) i worked on that damn spanish book....ahhhh

today now
pd1 - zak and brownie's groups went
pd2 - did my presentation on my book of poetry, went rather well
pd3 - c++, i prob. won't ever do another program in my life
pd4 - gave my farewell speech, my impromptu speaking abilities are getting better'
pd5 - finished up the spanish book
pd6 - we watched our eduardo scripts on video, i will have to admit they were quite hilarious...props to all
pd7 - sleep during schindler's list
pd8 - watched stand and deliver

so basically my day has boiled down to in the morning i listen to presentations and in the afternoon i watch movies and eat food....tis a pretty good life i lead....but seriously, the time has come i suppose...only two days remain, and i realized that i'm gonna miss a lot of people from this high school. In the end, although the high school may have been a piece of shit, the people that I ended up meeting here were certainly worth the cracks in the walls and terrible meals that I put up with for four years....now i'm gonna recall some of the greatest moments from high school career(in chronological order, of course)
1. Senor Damon's ninth grade Spanish one...i seriously have three or four(Us having a quiz a day then doing nothing for the rest, my stories, steve wine jumping out of the window and sliding down the pole, gerner throwing masten's book out the window and having it get rained on, the mexicans vs the spaniards...ahhh good times)
2. Ms Kostovny's 9th grade Science 400(no longer exists) where terrance mcgeorge was like "can anyone imagine kostovny dancing naked on the table?"....just gross
3. Ninth grade lunch table and community fries...haha we all got sick because of that
4. Ms Mahsoob's 10th grade academic where she got mowed down daily by kayla smith
5. Watching Steve S(old bowling captain) dominate everyone during varsity
6. Lunch where we played the military game
7. Getting absolutely owned at states(not a good memory)
8. 11th grade lunch table where freddy bacco and ryan gregg would flip a coin for money
9. Karl Geisler's Advanced Placement United States History which I have countless memories from(Yessshhhhh Points For Mastery(three most feared letters), Kozachenko gets owned, Fumu says that's the only one I don't know and he ends up not knowing two of the other PFM's as well. Fieldmeir and the Monroe Doctrine, Booter's drawing during the JFK trial)
10. Bowling trip to Philly(12 lane highway jumping, late night pizza, hanging out in that lobby the last night, chucky cheese, foot locker, bethanne and the little black kids, ashley running into a telephone pole, us doing alright at states, too much to remember)
11. My constant fights with Kondrot in Imaginative Writing
12. Yount and his hardcore approach to anything literary made English class definitely fun this year
13. James Ferguson and his constant antics at the lunch table
14. Senora's enthusiasm everyday and her jumping up and down and always starting 6th period off with "BUENOS TARDES!"
15. Chilling with the bowling people after the matches and other times(n00b, pat, jesse, brian, sadburn, bethanne, maura, others im sure)
16. Winning the WPIBL title
17. Meeting all these great people in high school

This has been a long post, I'm aware, but some issues needed to be addressed

best show on tv

i'll get to the title later....

pd1 - class meeting, what a waste of time
pd2 - wrote two more poems
pd3 - not one thing
pd4 - the importance of being earnest is a pretty funny play
pd5 - the usual
pd6 - peer edit...swiggi's story was very hard to follow....it may have been because i was watching espn deportes last night
pd7 - watched schindler's list
pd8 - calc final tomorrow

after school, despite getting only 5 hours of sleep, i was actually feeling okay...i read some of the earnest play and played some civ3(my revived new addiction) and that was more or less my night....except of course for the oc which set up season three perfectly, it was probably one of the best episodes that they have done so far...nothing really that interesting...i really cannot concieve the notion that high school is over in four days...for the past twelve and more years we as a senior class have been one light and on june second we're about to get smashed into a thousand pieces and we'll never be joined back together....sorry to put it that way, but suffering happens, man....it's finally starting to hit home....ahhh you can't fight time, no matter how smart or tough you are.....damnit.....well at least there are four more days....btw bethanne i'm proud of you....;-)

jewish birthday

the last two days have been rather weird...ill try to remember what i can from yesterday but what can i say, life has been moving at a thousand miles a minute these last three months....anyways, i got up around 1045 and more or less for 7 or 8 hours i played basketball....literally, i think i played 15 or 16 games in which i won a total of 2...wtf...i came home and then watched poker superstars II which was good and then bullshitted online for a little....

today....
pd1- we got our groups and picked the topic of who was the most horrible dictator
pd2- kondrot showed me my grade and i gave her this website lol....i got another poem done which makes it about 23 or 24 for the whole book
pd3- mr ellis has given up on programming...read nayhouse's profile for good laughs with ellis
pd4- yount is a goddamn psycho, for the rest of the year(6 days) we have to read the importance of being earnest, give our farewell speeches, and do 20th century poetry...wtf????
pd5- lunch, nothing great
pd6- we sang the subjunctive song
pd7- presentations....looking to skip this class wednesday, anyone interested?
pd8- went over calc final stuff

after school i went online for a little then fell into a deep sleep which was supposed to be interrupted by my brother at 5:00 but he never woke me up...f him....i ended up waking up at 6:30 and went over to nayhouse's for his birthday party(hence the title, jewish birthday)....it was just basically his family and a few others, but it was cool....especially when we found that tattered foam ball lying in his yard...well we decided to relive the glory days of home run derby and we got that big, inflated, mark mcgwire bat....it was all going great until i smashed a line drive into his house therefore ending the game...about 9:15 i got bored and we decided to call up lebo and see what they were doing....twas fun, we went to mcdonals then back to dessas house and jumped on her trampoline and stole sarah's shoes.....interesting night to say the least

tomorrow im going to sleep in and maybe play ultimate football at mccanulty at 1, depending upon whether my brother decides to be a puss or not and stay home by himself.....well im off now to play civ3 then sleep....

wow

and the title refers to well....we shall get there...

yesterday was thankfully friday, the last full week i will ever have at my career in baldwin high school....ahhhhhh free at last, but i will miss quite a few people there...so i came home, slept in for a little bit and then went to the badmitton tournament....the first round me and bradburn played like two incredible players, seems like a reoccuring theme here....at least it was double elimination....the second game, whilst we were in the losers bracket we won like 11-9...next we faced brownie and kyle who we should have crushed but we messed it up at the end and they won 12-10.....well anyways after that i went over the hrehas to play cards....first game was 11 people...i cruised into the final 5 with about forty percent of the total chips but a few big losses to this little eshky kid cut deeply into my chip lead....i took out nick and little eshky and we were down to the final three....i honestly can't remember who it was there....i think me, ben, and maybe gerner???? i don't really remember, but i did get knocked out in third place and got money back...after me and matt schnieder(oh yeah, that's who won the first tourny...haha we played two games of ping pong which i won both and then we got started with the second game....it got down to me vs brandon in heads up action....i whittled him down for awhile but then he got lucky on an allin and took a lot of money on a straight, then busted my AK with AT putting me out in second, gg....we played side games until 4 am when i decided i needed to sleep a little....

today i awoke today thanks to my two best friends in the world, thanks for the calls(to everyone else, i completely hate you, haha just kidding around) and got some cereal and went to play basketball...the first game i was completely owned 25-9 and the second game was somewhat closer at 25-21 but after that i just decided to quit while i had some self confidence, hehe....after that, im not really sure what i did, i read a little bit of 1984 and then i got like this killer headache that was pretty close to a migraine....i took some tylenol and slept fitfully, waking up twice(once for the phone and once because in my semi-dillusional sleep i convinced myself that someone that i knew was dead???) when i woke i felt better, so i went to mcdonalds....seriously you pay six bux there and get a shitty meal, but i was so hungry so i didn't really mind....then i came home and watched american beauty, that is a hell of a movie, i would completely recommend it....

so the title refers to something that i picked up on lately.....i used to read in magazines and books that everyone in the world was completely cynical...well i have found this to be the complete, infallible truth....to the pompous, self centered people out there, i hope that you come to realize that there is more than you and your material things, your accomplishments, and more than all, your egos....seriously, arg....in all of my life, i have met about two or three people that were not completely worried about only themselves.....well that is enough criticism for today...let us end this on a hopeful note....go pirates!

the last two days

the last two days have been rather crazy....running here and there....yesterday me/bradburn saw senora at the volleyball game and the guys won 3-0 then the three of us walked down to the girls lacrosse game and they lost 9-7....for todayy....

pd1 - gandhi
pd2 - final projects....im having trouble putting together a total of 25 poems but im working on it.....
pd3 - typed in ellis' new program that doesn't work
pd4 - review bowl day 2
pd5 - lunch, nothing great
pd6 - spanish quiz
pd7 - presentations
pd8 - hausman wasn't there.....we were supposed to do the review but instead we played poker

after school i decided to sleep a little to get ready for the dodgeball tournament....so we get there at 5 and ducker clarifies all the rules and stuff....we are assigned the last game in bracket A which is good b/c we think that we will easily have time for nayhouse to get there....the early games just fly on by and by 615 we're on the court facing julian pinkston(star basketball player) and his team...we only have 5 people....the first game gets down to four of their people versus only me...julian throws one, i catch it and bradburn is back in...however about 2 seconds later he gets hit again...i get it down to 2 on 1 but then they double throw, one hits my face, and faggot dunnaway says that it is an out......aslfdkhfasldjklsajl;sjdlkjsfdlkjsfdkl you dunnaway....second game again it's four of them versus one of me(i caught one to start the game and then hit two people and four of my teammates in a row got out) leaving me completely exhausted....well pinkston and storino both took aim and i dodged one and pinkston's hit me ending our run....if we had nayhouse there we may have gone further but the what if's don't really matter....after that me bowman kazour and ferg went to wendys and then i went back to the high school and me and bradburn watched the guys lacrosse team lose 11-5....ouch....well im exhausted once again now....

now that ive sorted a lot of things out and set them on the right course i feel better about graduating....it would have sucked to have had something not taken care of before june 2nd comes around so that's all good....i've learned(or better learned) how to draw the line between friendship and something else and that's definitely a good thing all things considered......

oc tomorrow

speed of sound

the title refers to coldplay's new song, speed of sound, i think the cd comes out in like early june and is called x and y or something...anyways, the lyrics are extremely good, in my opinion comparable to pink floyd and green in the sense that you can somewhat understand what they're saying but will never understand the whole picture.....great stuff though

pd1 - watched gandhi
pd2 - freewrite period
pd3 - nothing
pd4 - did two poems by keats....when i have fears and la belle dame sans merci....i would encourage anyone interested in poetry to check out both, especially the second one
pd5 - lunch, almost nobody there
pd6 - worked on book
pd7 - did my senior project presentation, did alright
pd8 - calc, worked on the homework

today after school i was so exhausted....this had to rank up there as one of the five toughest days i've ever had in my life...seriously my speech was 9 minutes long and preparing for that then actually giving it just drained me for the day...i came home and watched history channel for a little bit then went upstairs and slept for about 3.5 hours....i came downstairs and made chicken and ate macaroni salad which proved to be good....then went outside and shot for a little while and came back inside and didn't do much

for anyone who cares, the dodgeball tournament is wednesday....and our team, well, depending on our draw, could win a game or two....a brief rundown...bradburn is okay i guess, fergy i hear is about the same, bowman i suspect is somewhat good, kazour is pretty good, and nayhouse can throw the ball pretty fast....as for me i can dodge the balls pretty well and thanks to playing baseball for 12 years can throw the ball pretty hard....

my goal in life

so i was thinking about it today what i really, really wanted to do with the rest of my life after high school....i definitely do not want to work in some damn office where someone makes the hours for me....my goal is to go to college as a backup plan...my first plan is to work and to play poker enough to become good at it....i want, by the time that i am 25, to have saved enough money to retire for the rest of my life....i can then invest the money in compound interest and then this is what i want to do...for about 5 years i just want to walk places...im serious, like all around north and south america...either by myself or with a wife or girlfriend just because i love to be outside and think that with money taken care of i can stay in hotels or roadside or whatever....then i want to travel for 10 years after that....then after i'll come back home, maybe write a little and do nothing with my life....being good at odds says that i have almost no chance to accomplish that so in effect i'll probably end up teaching american or world history at some lowly high school in idaho or something like that....anyways....

today i woke up real late b/c of my late night last night and then nayhouse came over and we finished watching dazed and confused and then we went to get a pizza...afterwards we decided that he would go to the mall with some girl and her friends and that i was going to play softball....so we parted paths and by the time i got to the field it was almost dark...it was fun though, it was me, charlie, alex, papus, erin, and sarah and after softball we all piled in to my car, went bak to erin's house, got kicked out, walked to minios, left there then walked back to her house....we said bye byes after that and i took home sarah charlie and alex....then i came home and just sat around....tomorrow is going to be such a bitch i have 40 notecards and a whole senior project to do.....just great

a long day...

well it's about 1:50 P.M. whenever I'm posting this and I just got up from a very long day yesterday....

pd1 - final, it was decently tough...the 10th graders thought it was impossible but then again they never took the APUSH test yet lol
pd2 - wrote two more poems, i was extremely satisfied with one of them and somewhat satisfied with the other
pd3 - nothing
pd4 - wrote our questions for the review bowl
pd5 - empty cafeteria
pd6 - played musical chairs/perfect tense practice then salsa danced
pd7 - apologies to justov, mckeever was guarding the band hallway like nothing else....so we just did nothing in class all day
pd8 - partner quiz, gibbons and i got 40/40

i'd like to mention that there were very few souls there today because of the invitational/baseball game/euro test/ppl just skipping so a suggestion to the schoolboard would be a half day but who knows....

anyways, after school micheals calls and tells me he wants to start the game earlier...i agree and call up gerner and he says that he wants to play...it's a 5 handed game, which i'm not really used to but i quickly adjust....we start with about 33k in chips and gerner i think lost a big pot and he was out first....after that i just was grinding my way all the way down to the last 3 which was me, zwirek, and luke.....i was chip leader and zwirek was second in chips but luke always finds a way to squeak into the top 2...heads up i had him about 4 to 1 and i went allin with K2 against his AJ and i caught a 2 on the flop to hold up....gg i was pretty tired after that one....so i go home and realize that i'm extremely hungry....i call up nayhouse and we agree to go to the mall to get something to eat....by the time that he orders at sakiyo japan and i order at chic fila its like 9 and the mall closes at 930....well i don't get my food at chic fila until like 935 cause they ran out(but they gave me a ton of extra shit so that was cool) and nayhouse decided to come over as we were going to try to get the dazed and confused burned dvd to work but it wouldn't so i had to settle for eating my 2 sandwiches and fries and drink....later i took nayhouse home and he let me borrow his dazed and confused dvd which was i awesome....so i go home and plan to watch that for the night but then gerner texts me and i decide to go over his house for a little late night card game....the first game was 10 handed, all at the same table...i stayed quite for awhile, won one or two significant pots until we were down to 7 and i could actually sit down at the table....there i caught just about the run of cards of my life....jacks, queens, aces, AK, QJ, AQ but i seriously could get no action with them...four handed it was me, stock, nick, and jd and i was short stacked and really could care less about the damn bubble so i went allin with the best hand and jd caught runners to make a str8...gg so i walked over to the side games and was playing well(by that i mean not making stupid decisions) and i was up like 35 at the peak, but over the next two hours i slowly gave most of it back on stupid decisions....i plan to set a limit where i stop throwing around money whenever i get above a certain amount and start to play serious again....anyways, kinger gave me a ride home at about 340 AM which meant i was up for over the last 21 hours and i was exhausted...i fell asleep in bed and woke up 10 hours later around 140....ahhh only in america, only in america

the best show on television

it was a typical thursday night...except it wasn't so typical...the oc was two hours tonight and although the president interrupted it last week it worked perfectly into the storyline...i will venture a guess that it is the best written show on all of television and by far it is acted the best and i don't think anyone can put up an argument against either one of those claims....

anyways, a day in review
pd1 - final(essay part) i made a lot up about the serfs in russia
pd2 - kondrot wasn't here so i slept all period
pd3 - nothing
pd4 - went over shelley's ozamandias
pd5 - lunch, nothing great
pd6 - kickball outside
pd7 - she talked all period about the ap test and we didn't even get a chance to do any presentations meaning that we reviewed for the AP test a total of 0 days
pd8 - test tomorrow

after school i went outside and shot basketball for awhile and then came inside and slept...i can't even remember if i ate dinner or not but then i watched the oc for 2 hours...something happens to my body after the excitement is over...it's like...i just shut down or something, it's really weird....

the first point i'd like to touch on is the stupidity of the baldwin school district....so for anyone that doesn't know, tomorrow is the Baldwin Invitational, considered the biggest track meet in Western Pennsylvania....and they make us stay inside the whole time while like 2000 kids from different schools are here....seriously, they wonder why most kids have plans to skip at least one period tomorrow....

tomorrow i'm not exactly sure what i'm doing after school....my tentative plan is to go look for a job after school and then go to the baldwin invitational for a little bit then to head over to josh micheals' house and then maybe back to the invitational....right now i'm phsyically awake but just mentally and spiritually drained....ahhh hopefully i can finish up this calc and then get a long night's rest....

untitiled

I couldn't find a kick ass title for this post so it is what it is....it more or less reflects how i have felt about life....it's been like trying to eat chocolate cake three times a day....i mean it's great and all the first few times but then it gets horrible and then you feel nothing when thinking about it....at least life at baldwin high school, that is....anyways, rundown

pd1 - party day....well i slept
pd2 - kondrot and i had an argument over what is really the better work....the piece of shit poem that is typed or the handwritten poem that kicks ass....well you can discern which one was mine...heh
pd3 - c++ i got the search thing to work, i have to wait until just about everyone else turns it in though because ellis will never believe that i actually did it myself
pd4 - read one more poem from lord byron and read shelley's bio
pd5 - really stupid...but yesterday was the blues competition between bill graham and matt radar....ahahahahahaha
pd6 - movie today and how kick ass is this...KICKBALL IN SPANISH tomorrow
pd7 - i just want to punch mohrlatko in her fucking face(her and kondrot both)...seriously they bend the rules for like 3 kids and then if anyone else even breaks one small clause in a rule she yells and is a bitch....
pd8 - learned how to become millionares using natural logs

after school i played basketball for a little bit....i lost, of course....then i walked up to whitehall after going to the haf mart(the l on half is burned out) and saw baldwin varsity lose the game for the section title...well afterwards i went to my brother's baseball game where his team actually won, 5-4, a much better game than the baldwin one...after that we went out to mccoys and then i watched the wpt for 2 hours and was pumped that the young kid one....now im sitting here working on my book of poetry for kondrots class....

it appears that the group play will not happen anymore thanks to "some people"...well she could have just said my name instead of indirectly directly embarassing me....i hate you kondrot, you and your fucking republican conservative bitches....okay im done

by the by, where has that character erin mawe been? no online/contact with me for two days, i figure her to be dead but i seriously doubt that....hehe just kidding, just hope all is ok???

well anyways it's time to get some sleep

some questions remain

well today was a blur for me for whatever reason....idk sometimes that just happens....i got a good sleep and woke up around 1030 and had breakfast for the first time in a long time....after awhile i went outside and played 3 games of basketball....first one i lost 25-23 but won the last two by about 6 points each.....supposedly i was getting "all the rolls" but i just think it's skill...anyways, i came inside and watched the rocky marathon for awhile but that got boring so i decided to catch baseball with drew for awhile....after that i layed down until around 5 when i tried to fix my computer by kicking it a lot....well that didn't really work so i went to a communion party(there was food there) and just chatted with some adults about the suckiness of baldwin borough and those damn signs trying to get those politicians re-elected or whatever....god i hate politics, the people actually running very seldom know the issues they just can speak better than the ones who do know them...well whatever....then i came home, watched poker superstars II and some thing on the history channel about voodoo(actually pretty good) and then i played in an earth poker tourny where i got 12/118 and something like 60 cents for my effort...yehaaaa....well tomorrow hopefully we will do nothing all day in school so that i can sleep and enjoy.....
