ok first off, i didnt plan on writing about this but i read other peoples woohus and its just liek wtf man..i dont get it..
why is like our whole grade secretely depressed or just not as content as they seem to be in person?i kno i have my issues and i get sad sometimes and think a LOT *which is a big prob of mine, i think too much and get sad..* but cmon everyy entryyy...can we get a positive one for once.....im mostly positive.....but lets see if i'll start slowly revealing once i start writing..

i know theres shit going on in peoples lives that I know nothing about, thats a duh..but its like think about how hs goes by in the blink of an eye..just be optimistic..we're all ganna get out alive and fine..i promise you..

another thing..the whole issue of drinking and experimenting and shit..i understand, and u guys know me..believe me i understand the grades issues with drinking and smoking and stuff..,,but im ganan be straight and say that i feel some people act stupidly and dont think before they do things, myself included w. certain things but other things i kno to stay away from and certain people as well ESPECIALLY..they influence sooo much no matter who you are and how resistant to peer pressure you think you are. it doesnt make sense to me why people do things numerous amount of times or just suddenly fall apart and fall into that lie to parents thing..that wont work, im telling u, they know EVERYTHING..its a gift from God but its true..they do

pisses me off so much how certain people are such mother f'ing followers..and im not bein the cliche..bah non conformist dont be a follower..but i have certain people in mind that ive come to realize just simply DO NOT think for themselves even tho they try and convince themselves that they are..give me a fuckin break..ok? who are you kidding? would u have drank that or smoked that if these 5 people didnt before you? NO cuz u know its wrong but u werent strong enough and didnt believe in yourself enough to stand up and do wat you wanted. get some freakin balls wats the worst that could happen!?!

idk if wat im saying makes sense and if not i really dont care cuz i just feel like sayin it whether i have an audience or just myself venting a little.....when people come up to me and say things like.."yeh i never see you out, why dont go out" ..first off, just cuz YOU may not see me does not mean in the least that I dont go out..perhaps I chose myself not to hang around certain people, if im really dying to see peple then i will see them on my own time, not at tristan or james' house ( no offence to anyone, just being general..and if this does offend u..o well idc n e more)...yeh, frankly I do go out and i enjoy myself and im not complaining at all..i chose to do what I want to do, and sorry if it doesnt consist of gettin drunk and duin random things with random people then hitting myself for it the next day *not referring to anyone, i promise, just generalizing once again*...

while im at it, i'd just liek to mention how un unified our grade is and how much it sucks...why do people just hate certain people and why does it not feel right..it doesnt..idk, i think 10th grade should be one of the best..our grade is certainly awesome....people need to settle shit with themselves personally and other people and just learn to appreciate the simple idea of high school and the fact that it's going to be gone before we know and we're going to be wishing these days back....call me an optimist, sure...but on top of that I'm more realistic than n e thing..no use in sulking or holding grudges...or not getting to know a certain person cuz you THINK they wont like you..theres no pt..take chances....hell i know I do...and ive found the most amazing freindships in the most unexpected places and i wouldnt change it for the world...i want every1 tomoror or whenever u read this..the next day..just go up to someone you been meaning to talk to or you thnk you'd like to become friends with, whether they be in our grade or not..and just talk to them...i promise they wont hurt you...

just do it..

im out people, time for some checkers....im pooped

God Bless

Will someone please call a surgeon who can crack my ribs and repair this broken heart that you're deserting for better company? I can't accept that it's over, i will block the door like a goalie tending the net in the third quarter of a tied game rivalry. so just say how to make it right. and i swear i'll do my best to comply. tell me am i right to think that there could be nothing better than making you my bride and slowly growing old together ?

I feel i must interject here. you're getting carried away feeling sorry for yourself with these revisions and gaps in history. so let me help you remember. i've made charts and graphs that should finally make it clear. i've prepared a lecture on why i have to leave. so please back away and let me go.

i can't my darling i love you so... tell me am i right to think that there could be nothing better than making you my bride and slowly growing old together?

don't you feed me line about some idealistic future. your heart won't heal right if you keep tearing out the sutures.

i admit that i have made mistakes, and i swear i'll never wrong you again.

you've got a lure i can't deny, but you've had your chance so say goodbye.

Merry Christmas! I hope everyone had a wonderful couple of days and is enjoying their break.

The flight here was absolutely horrible, just a nightmare but once we got to the hotel it was alllll better. I love it there so much and it's been almost set that I'm getting married there so you'll all be able to see it one day :) Christmas Eve, I stayed home while my parents and great aunt went to church because I was still sick and didn't want to tire myself out. Nochebuena was a lot of fun as always, the cuban dinner, the family...we filmed it which was definitely a good idea. Spent the night at my grandparents and Christmas morning, presents! wahoooo. Then my aunt, uncle, and cousins came over again and we exchanged gifts. I did really well as usual, not quite as much as I usually get but definitely good. Before we left (from ny) my parents showed me that they had gotten me a dartboard, and hockey foosball table for the basement which was reallyyy neat. Then here I got cds, movies, perfume, jewelery, clothes, games, bags...pretty much everything I wanted. Last night, went back to the hotel got a movie and some room service and that's pretty much it. Today I'm at my aunts...it's kind of boring but in a good way. It's too cold to swim, so I'm playing with all my Christmas gifts and I get to hang out with my fave cousin who I pretty much haven't seen since last christmas. I'll probably watch Napoleon Dynamite in a little while. Or maybe I'll go for a drive..I think I might be going to the DMV and getting my permit! How cooooool.

Tomorrow I think my cousins are coming to the hotel and we're gonna do spa and have a little cocktail party in my parents room before going out to dinner.
I'm feeling much better and just taking it easy, and having a great vacation.

The good thing about getting older and getting less excited about Christmas is that it's not so sad when it's over. It's actually better because you get to play with all your new stuff :)

Wishing everyone the best<3

caught in a craze, it's just a phase, or will this be around forever?
"It breaks your heart. It is designed to break your heart. The game begins in the spring, when everything else begins again, and it blooms in the summer, filling the afternoons and evenings, and then as soon as the chill rains come, it stops and leaves you to face the fall alone. You count on it, rely on it to buffer the passage of time, to keep the memory of sunshine and high skies alive, and then just when the days are all twilight, when you need it most, it stops."

-- A. Bartlett Giamatti

wahhh, I miss baseball!!

though that's what this quote was intended to talk about, I feel like it can apply to so many other things too...many confusing, hard things we're all going through right now.

hang in there guys..
i love you all and i love talking to you all...thanks for keeping me going

the above is a map of all the states/regions before the civil war that were for/opposed to slavery. It appears nearly identical to the electoral map of the 2004 presidential election.
Red or Brown=for slavery (Bush)
Green=against slavery (Kerry)

the art of losing
wow. we lost. but im not going to sit here and mope and complain, as there are many things to blame it on. lack of clutch hitting, bad relief work by ahem jose, errors, the hugeness of joe robbie stadium. these are all things that if made opposite, the yankees could have easily won the series. but they didnt, so why try to justify the past and whats already happened. true fans will say "wow that was an amazing season, we'll get em next year, hey we beat boston" and thats what it was like being in yankee stadium, in my opinion, one of the top 5 most amazing places on this earth, as that ground ball by posada was thrown to first (or was he tagged out, idk i didnt watch) and the marlins started celebrating, not one of us shed a tear. everyone was proud of the boys for the crazy ride they had gone through this year, and the way they managed to pull that club together and get this far. am i sad? yes, do i wish they would have won? yes, am i dissapointed in the players? absolutely not. the yankees and their fans pride and dignity cannot be shaken by any loss, not even in the world series, at home, without any runs, to an expansion team, yes an expansion team. the yankees have been around for a century. the tradition behind that team is so amazing, and the fact that they can have a classic-go-down-in-history-come-from-way-behind win in the bottom of the 11th at home in game 7 of the alcs against boston the second best team in baseball, shows that the heart, soul, and talent of the yankees cannot be touched by any loss not even in the world series, at home, without any runs, to an expansion team. I am so happy that this year i finally followed my liking for the yankees. im really surprised though at how much i learned and how much i really love baseball and that team. and even though my first year as a serious fan didn't end nessesarily the best way, i could not be any happier. so on monday and tuesday and when i go to miami, i will wear my baseball cap with great pride because i dont feel more proud wearing anything else. as joe dimaggio said "id like to thank the good lord for making me a yankee" :)

so congratulations yankees on an amazing season...you deserved all of it. and dont blame yourselves or anything else. its okay to lose every once in a while, it only makes you stronger and better. good luck and your fans will be waiting your return when the 2004 yankees are goin all the way again, and this time winning :)



^^^My post after the Yanks lost the world series a year ago. Obviously things are a little different than they were then. There was no dramatic game 7 win. Boston beat us. But reading that sort of gives me a glimmer of hope that I'll be able to get over this sooner than I thought. I've accepted that the Sox (gulp..) DESERVED to win this. They fought their mfing asses off and played with so much heart.

Losing is okay. Crushing, heartbreaking, go-down-in-history, potential curse breaking losses, are okay...

We just haven't had 86 years of practice. :)

So, we'll see you in 05 Yanks. I can't fucking wait. It's gonna be another crazy, amazing year. I'm so grateful to have something like this to look forward to, follow, and be passionate about. I'm happy to experience something like this so young to get used to crushing losses. Hopefully there won't be many more soon. Things are gonna be a little more boring without a game to watch every night, but hey, there's always next year.

AND GO CARDINALS!

I just cannot comprehend this situation.

What.
Just.
Happened.

I'm in a complete state of shock right now.

We just made history. Bad fucking history.

How could this happen?
3-0...3-0...3-0....3-0
CHOKE
3-4
I'm like feeling so many emotions right now, it hasn't really hit me. And I know I'm being selfish so much, but this is just miserable. I'm not going to go near a newspaper, news channel or any sports website for weeks, in fear of seeing them shitting all over our field and tainting it forever. I'm going to implode right now.

This is a bad day.
Really bad.
At least I have my other diehards to comiserate with.

All I can say is:
Go Cardinals

I really don't know what to do with myself.

On a light note, Brett just randomly i-med me...he's so nice, why did he move?

okay, things absolutely suck right now.

Where do I go from here?

OMFG this is disgusting

I hate David Ortiz, I hate Johnny Damon, I hate Kevin Brown, I hate Kevin Millar, I hate ground rule doubles, I hate umpires, I hate blown saves, I hate Curt Schilling, I hate Tim Wakefield, I hate Bronson Arroyo, I hate Terry Francona, I hate Red Sox fans

and I fucking HATE Bill Mueller

And I hate everything right now.
