ok, so i was just sitting at home when my friend amanda paged me on my nextel, and guess what she said to me? go on, just guess. ok, she told me that dashboard confessional was on mtv and i nearly had a god damn heart attack. when i turned to mtv, the stupid cable box message said that undressed was on, but my friend told me that chris was definately on it. so i stayed tuned and after a minute mtv unplugged came on and........... there was chris!!! so yeah, in case you hadn't noticed, i'm disturbingly obsessed with him. anyway, he was singing all the songs that i love so naturally i turned the volume all the way up and i started singing along. damn, i just wish that i had caught it from the beggining. i must've started watching it from the half way point. i hope that's it's on real soon again. so anyway, other than that i have nothing else worth mentioning to post. see ya.

i started this little blog way back in march '02 and i 1st started it so i can have a place where i can post my feeling and such and then look back at them at later times.
well, that never happened.
if you've found your way here then you'll find some pretty useless and pointless posts here.
but who knows...
stay a while. you might even enjoy yourself. and if you don't, then leave me a comment and tell me how much i suck.

well, it took about 508926027606 years for somebody other than amanda to do it, but somebody has finally started posting comments. score!!! ok, back to my mediocre life. today i went to the doctor's office. i needed to get the second shot of the hepatitis b vaccine, so that's what i did. then i went to coconuts, but i didn't buy anything. I found that disturbing, 'cause i went in there with the specific intent of needlessly wasting money. it was weird. i don't remember who, but somebody told me buy a movie called l.i.e. 'cause apperantly it's really good. i don't know about the theme of it though. but maybe i'll buy it soon. dammit! it's raining over here. damn stupid thunderstorm. tomorrow better be hot and sunny. i wanna get a tan but it's kinda hard when it's cloudy and raining. so yeah, nothing really exciting is going on in my life. i got my friend christina's graduation party to go to on sunday. that's it after that. see ya.

yesterday was my graduation. woohoo! now i'm done with high school, finally! although i gotta admit that i'll miss some of the people that I saw last night. it really was the last time i would see any of these of these people until the 10 year reunion. but anyway, it was so god damn hot when the graduation was taking pace. and we were outside and wearing those stupid gowns. we were really baking in them. i don't think i've ever sweat so much in my entire life. and it lasted from about 6 until 7:15. damn! i was soaking wet! but anyway, when it was over I went to get my diploma, 'cause it's not in the diploma holding thing so you gotta go to this other room and get the damn thing after the ceremony is over. i don't know why they don't just stick the diploma in and give them out to the students as they approach the stage. i guess that makes too much sense. afterwards i went to this restaurant called the crab shanty and by coincidence i ran into my friend justin there. he sat at a table diagnal to the booth that i was in. it was pretty funny. anyway, i'm done with school and now it's time to relax for 2 months. on sunday i got my friends christina graduation party. i'm looking forward to it 'cause i haven't seen her since midterms back in january. other than that i don't really have anything exciting or amazing to look forward to. i have a doctor's appointment on thursday, and that pretty much makes up my 1st weekend of the summer. woo!!! oh and i saw minority report on saturday night. it was mad good. in case you didn't know it's a movie starring tom cruise in which he plays a cop from the future who works in a precrime office. in precrime they use precogs to fortell murders that are going to happen in the future, and cruise and his fellow cops go out and arrest the future murderer. later, 1 of the precogs predicts that cruise will commit a future murder and he goes through the rest of the movie running from the cops trying to prove his future innocence. it's really amazingly good, specially when the movie begins to make you wonder if our destinies are predetermined or if we choose our own futures. you should all go out and see it. this weekend i wanna go and see lilo and stich, 'cause it looks like a fun movie. and there's no major movies being released this weekend as far as i know. well that's it.

well, all i gotta do now is graduate. but that's on monday. i can't wait. i just want to be done with high school already. i took my final test today, so I'm really anxious to just graduate and start my summer. i don't think i'm gonna write much more. it's very warm over here, and i really don't have much else to write about. i wanna see minority report tomorrow night. and my brother is gonna buy me either devil may cry or metal gear solid 2 for my graduation. and i'm gonna tell my parents to buy me buffy the vampire slayer season 2 on dvd. i think my mom and dad got my hints 'cause they know i live for that show, but i'm just gonna flat out tell them in case they didn't get them. well, i just got a case of u.u.s. ( unnecessary uncontrollable sneezing ), so i'm gonna take off before my lungs explode.

i can't even stay awake to type... i'll type tomorrow....

right, so today at about 12:15 i took the physics regents. i was done in about an hour. not because i knew what i was doing but because i didn't know what i was doing. i guessed on all 45 questions in the 1st part, and the 2nd part was practically blank. my teacher asked me if i wanted to look over it, and i said no. i mean, what the hell was i gonna look over? i didn't even use the god damn reference tables 'cause i wouldn't even know what formulas to use. they're really just a bunch of letters, nothing more. and on friday i took my pre-calculus final ( well, it was really just calculus, 'cause we've been doing calculus since after the midterm ) and i swear to holy jesus christ, god, and all the saints that I don't believe in, that i went blank. total blankness... grrrrrrrrr... and the worst part is i studied my ass off. as soon as i sat down for it, i went blank. dammit. i know i did well on the english final, i just gotta find my teacher and see what i got on that and on my mcbeth paper. and friday is the latin regents, which I know i'll pass. ok then, on saturday i saw the bourne identity while my brother went to see the sum of all fears. my movie was definately much better. it was just so great. i highly recomend that you go out and see it. fuck everything else, see the bourne identity. i guarantee that you will enjoy it. lastly, tomorrow i expect a call from someone named wendy from the admissions office at concordia college regarding how i'm gonna pay my tuition and what grants and scholarships i'm getting. they just sent me this thing that talks about how I can pay my tutition of $17000 in 8, 9, or 10 months worth of payments. but i got this letter that says i get about $15000 worth of grants and scholarships, so i gotta see why that wasn't added. i know i sent the thing saying i accepted them 'cause i sent it with my $300 deposit. so i gotta take care of that pronto. that's about it really. nothing else really happening of any importance in my life. graduation is on monday, so i'll post something then. then i got the whole summer to lounge about and do absolutely nothing while getting a tan. oh yeah, i almost forgot! i got to school early so i had some hours to kill before the test, and me and some people were in the cafeteria when this bird flew in 'cause the doors were open. anyway, the bird was flying into the windows and finally it just slammed into one and crashed all the way to the floor. we took it outside, but the poor birdy couldn't stand on his feet 'cause his legs were busted. it could fly fine, but couldn't stand up. and since birds have to sleep standing up, it would've died whenever it became tired and went to sleep. so the way we looked at it was that the bird was gonna die anyway, so since we were away from people we decided to kill it. so 2 of the people that i was with went into the tennis courts that we were sitting by, grabbed a tennis racket, and 1 of them threw the bird in the air and struck it with the racket, and effectively killed it. although i think it would've been more humane or whatever to just snap its neck, at least the bird was put out of the misery that it was in. at least it didn't slowly die by suffocating when it went to sleep. and it was probably in a lot of pain since its legs were broken. ok, now i'm done. wow, i wrote a lot, didn't i?

yeah i got my phone line fixed on thursday. damn verizon. i called them up and they were like "maybe you just have to disconnect your phones and reconnect them. then you'll have a dial tone." but i made then check it from their headquarters or whatever, 'cause i wasn't anywhere near home. when they checked they did discover a problem so they dispatched a guy to fix it. and now i have a dial tone! and i don't get kicked offline anymore! double yay!!! but yeah i'm glad i can finally go back online at my own house. anyway, i really wanna see scooby doo tonight. i've been waiting for a long time to see it. and i also have to buy a dvd tonight. i just gotta. my mother was complaining that i use my credit card too much. but the way i see it is that the economy is still strugling after 9/11, and instead of going deeper into a recession, people should waste as much money as they can. i'm just doing my part by using my credit card whenever the oppurtunity arises. unfortunately, mommy dearest doesn't see it this way. dammit... i think i'm gonna play some super smash bros. melee 'cause that is the greatest game ever created. it's crazy shit! i already got all the characters, but i haven't gotten all there is to get. you know what? i didn't even play video games at all anymore until my brother got me that game for my birthday. i just can't seem to put it down. i'm addicted to that game. but anyway i'm gonna go and play that for a good while. see ya.

i haven't posted anything in the longest time. the reason being that my phoneline had been down for the month. all you heard was static and when i tried logging on, the speed connection said it was only 4200 kbps. so when i tried sending emails or going to any sites, i would get kicked off. but it's all better now... sorry for any incovenience to anyone. june 6th was the prom. i went with my bud antonietta. we had some mad fun there. we went to a club afterwards with the people in our limo. we went to sound factory and we had fun. the only thing about the night i didn't like was that we were supposed to go to the voodoo lounge after prom, but someone's father or mother found out that there would be alcohol there, so our $45 tickets were a big waste. we plopped down $40 to get tickets to sound factory, and even though i had fun there, i would've preferred not spending that though. oh well. the next day most of us went to six flags and we had a blast. good times. today was actually my last day of school. i have my english final tomorrow, i have calculus on friday, physics ( which i will fail ) on tuesday, and latin on friday. then i graduate. wow. i really can't believe that i'm gonna graduate so fucking soon. i really can't believe how the time just flew by like that. yeah and i must see scooby doo this friday. it looks like mad fun. i also wanna see the bourne identity next week 'cause it looks mad cool. and the week after that i must see minority report 'cause that movie looks like it would rock my socks. as far as dvds go i can't decide which one i wanna get more. it's either starship troopers which just came out with a special collertor's edition dvd or monster's ball which i've wanted to see for months. i just don't know, god dammit. but anyway, i really can't wait for the summer to start. i'm not working for the 1st time in 4 years so i know i'm gonna enjoy my summer getting a tan and doing a whole lot of nothing. so until I get my phone line fixed ( i currently have no dial tone, piece of shit... ) i won't be able to post anything for my adoring fans. you'll just have to hold on or something. at least i have a comment box. have fun with that.
