Wow, this day went badly. Someone seriosuly needed to smack me and tell me to wake up because I just couldn't get going today. I don't know why, just too much stress that I didn't seem to take care of. I totally forgot to bring Suki the tape recorder and when I did remember I ran back to the IB tree and she was already gone :-(. I'm sosorry, I really hope you didnt need it today. Other than that I almost completely ignored several people I saw between classes today, I'm sorry if this bothered anyone, I was out of it. On top of that I have now electric guitar right now because my D string is broke and i literally cant afford a one dollar string right now. I'm negative in money since I don't work this week.

this is you, and me.
the tatoo on my back. the blood in my veins. the piercing in my stomach. the piercing of my skin.
this is our world
our home
this is our fear
our bliss
this is our time
lost in space. we always search for our purpose. for company. but no matter what we'll always be alone. but i choose not to be. i choose to feel. and thats just what i'll do.
it wouldnt be precise unless we took eternity.
this is us.

:: Music: That Christmas song that's sung by the chipmunks (Alvin, Simon, Theodore)
I was commenting on Amanda's journal, and it took a mind of its own.
I'm trying to decide what to ask for for Christmas. I really think I have decided though. I was in best buy and I saw the most awesomest camera lens ever. It goes 70-300 mm. 300! My current lens is the one that came with the camera, 28-80 mm. I want to buy it, but it's tres chere. hmm... That's why I was thinking of asking for it for christmas. If I want to do some of the things I want to do in terms of photography, I need a better lens. Well, my lens is really good, it's a nikon lens, it just doesn't zoom far enough. And I'm thinking, if I get it for christmas, that's right before I go to Pittsburgh, so it'll be good for taking tons of pics up there. *Ponders*
Problem is, since I mortgaged my soul to buy the camera in the first place, I still owe $100 on it. That's not bad though, considering how much I once owed. Ah, well, it was worth it. I got some money shots in Aruba and Ohio this summer. I should see about selling some of them to Joe la Pierre. He's a painter guy. He painted all three of the "real" paintings that are in our house. He's kinda friends with my dad. He told me once that if he painted a reproduction of a picture I took, he'd give me 10% of the selling price. His paintings now though, the big ones atleast, are going for a good 3 grand. Good thing we bought ours before he was famous. lol. That would make me some good money. It'd pay me back for the camera atleast. Well, if he painted a few of my pictures. I doubt one would cover it. That would have to be one big ass painting to make that kind of money. Oh well. Enough complaining about my camera. I love it. I need to get it a new lens though, so that I can take more close up pictures. So, long story short, I think that's what I've decided on for Christmas. Hmm..
You know what else? My cat's really old. She turned 10 like 2 weeks ago, not that we celebrated her birthday or anything... Ten...hmm...that's gotta be atleast halfway done for a cat, right? Sure it does. Cats don't live past 20. She's really starting to show signs of aging though. She's slowing down a lot. We have to keep her food up on the counter so that the dog doesnt eat it, and sometimes when she jumps up to eat she misses and falls back down. And then sometimes when she's jumping down she sliips and goes head first into the side of the chair. It's fun to watch. We asked the vet about it once, and she doesn't have arthritis or anything. I think maybe she's just stupid and old.

Shed yourself of stigma and live free in the land that is not. Study the beauty of a tree and realize it is not the tree that is beautiful, it is your perception of it that is. Remove the jaded looking glasses put on you and see this life in the abstract spectrum it is. Be calm and not afraid to experience the unknown and the known. Never put yourself in a prison, but free others from their own. Emotions will control you, so let it flow. Feel the cool beach breeze swim through your body, and know that this is the greatest ride there is. Never live malcontent; be freeform with your eyes to the sky. So high and never coming down.

Bando Photos
Yea, I took TONS of pictures yesterday. Ended up with 90 total, but after being a bit selective I uploaded 74 and deleted a few after that. All in all, they're really sweetness. I love my percussion seniors (and Shane) picture. You just gotta love percussionists with flowers.
Game was good last night. It was an awesome football game, and also fun bandowise. I went up and sat with Kristen for a bit. I was going to visit the clarinets, but I ended up sitting like directly behind Krystle and Adam anyway, so I just talked to them while I was sitting there. Leah was all upset because it was her last home game and now she doesn't know what to do with her friday nights. My response to this dilemma: Go to away games.
Tonight was fun too. We went to the mall and spent a good long while picking out exactly which hermit crabs we wanted to buy, and I decided that hermit crabs are really ugly and useless. Oh well. Not mine. Note to everyone reading this: While I do enjoy giving people hermit crabs, do not give them to me under any circumstances. The last thing I need right now is more useless pets.
Anyone want a cat?
Had fun at the party. I went in and beat the crap out of freshmen at ping pong. Me and Kristen teamed up at the end and took them out. Jenn was really pissed at me for putting that picture of her and kyle on the internet. I'll take it down when amy takes down the pictures she has of me that I hate.
Party poppers freak me out. There are few things that make me run and hide, but party poppers I just can't take. I don't know...there's something about having something loaded with gunpowder pointed at my face that just turns me off of them. I really don't mind them that much as a whole, only when they are pointed at me. It's not the loud noise or anything. If a party popper is a good 10-20 feet away from me, I'm fine. It's just when people are standing 2 feet from me with the thing freaking pointed right at my face. They're almost as useless as hermit crabs, and less entertaining.
I'm really confused. (Note mood) A lot of my friends are making...interesting decisions, and I don't know what to say/do about it. I'll figure it out I guess...just mentioning it.
Dave was on SNL tonight. Awesome. He did "Save Me" first and ended with "So Damn Lucky," which will most likely be his next single, not that people play it on the radio. The "Gravedigger" video is on VH1 all the time though, which is great because I watch VH1 all the time because their always playing I Love the 80's.
Speaking of the 80's...did you guys know that next year's freshmen will have been born in 1990?! What's up with that??? How can they have just completely missed the 80's? Is that allowed?! It makes me feel old again.

hmm... so I didn't make all district jazz. oh well, theres always..., well there isn't. sucks for me.
I hate how my furure is so up in the air. I have a pretty decent sat score, but a shitty gpa. no chance for academic scholarships. I can probably get a music scholarship to a shitty state school, but if it doesn't pay for the whole thing, I don't want it. ::Wishes he could afford Berklee:: I was seriously concidering being in the Army or Navy band program. It's three years, but I get to go to the Military School of Music, get a paycheck, play sax all day, and get $30k for college after the three years. It sounds pretty sweet, but also sounds like it would probably be the worst experience of my life at the same time. If scholarships don't pull through, it may be my only option. I dont want to mortgage the next ten years of my life to pay for undergrad.
I hate how my future is still up in the air. I hate how I've lost touch with everyone I know. I hate feeling lonely.

Hello,
For all of you who live and die by my words, here's a little update on my life. School is going pretty well, dislike a few classes, but my grades are above average. Mr. Hall is killing my love of history, but that's what teachers are supposed to do last time I checked.
I went to Boston last week. Quite the excellent time, I must say. Checked out Boston University and was impressed by it. Too bad it's 40K a year. If I get in to their film program, I hope my parents would be willing to remortgage our house, again. I visited family friends I've known all my life up there in Boston and Newton, which brought on some nostalgia.
I've been trying to be a really good friend to more people, and I don't know if I'm succeeding. It's good that I'm friends with some kids I was a douchebag to earlier this school year. Of course, I can never have total tranquility with all my friends, as I have lost contact with two good friends. I don't know if it's worth it to try and patch things up, again, but it's pissing me off, especially since I'm really not sure what I did to them, especially one of said company. It's just...this may be the last year I hang out with a lot of my best friends. As they leave for college and I go to college in a year, there's a great chance that I may never talk to them again. I've seen the relationships that my brother has with his best friends from high school; it's quite strained. So I've decided that it would be pointless to waste the last year of my friendships with many people fighting with them. OMG, I'm rambling on. lolz.
Abby's mom thinks I'm a cutie. Chalk one up for the home team babe.
Some things I miss:
*Hanging out at Noah's most nights this summer.
*Wacthing wrestling with Justin, David, and Kevin.
* Curtis Mayfield.
*Staying up till 4 am listening to music and not having to worry about school the next day.
* Paris and Boston.
* Sushi Jazz with Ben and Vivi
* Late night watching of horrible movies with my brother.
Whoa, hold the phone...I'm almost bearing my heart on the internet. That's my cue.
Love,
Drew R.

Today was not as good as yesterday. It wasn't the worst day ever, but yesterday was good. Well, let's see...it was pouring. The school flooded. That's always fun. My sweater is still wet I think. Had to make up the math test I skipped yesterday and my mind totally blanked on one of the problems. Oh well, I'll see how I did tomorrow. I'm not overly worried about it.
History can bite me. That B I had last quarter appears to be the only B I'll ever see. I'll be happy with a D on that dbq we just did. I hate that class almost as much as I hate Mr. Hall. The feeling is mutual though, so I don't really feel bad about it. I have never ever had a teacher hate me that much, and I've pissed off a lot of teachers in my day..
I went in and asked Mr. Lerner during second lunch if he had made a decision as far as practice was concerned, and of course he hadn't. So I told him I kinda needed to know before the very end of the day after the bell rang because I didn't sell any cheesecakes and I was gonna take the bus home if practice was cancelled. So he told me to see if my seventh hour teacher would let me out 5 minutes early and I could come and see then. I said "Mr. Lerner, I have Ms. Youngman seventh hour. She won't let me out without a pass." So he freaking reached over, grabbed a paper, and gave me a pass to get out of french at 2:40. Sweet. So I left french, got a 15 second answer, and hung out with Leah and Kristen for 10 minutes. As far as the answer went, "We're going to be practicing inside, so you don't have to come." Ok! No questions asked. I was on that bus faster than...I have no idea where I'm going here.
Anywho...I got home and went rollerblading. 2 laps. That's probably anywhere from about 3-5 miles. Not too bad. I would've liked to go a bit longer, but my knee was like hey! heeey! go home! So I yelled at it and took a rest. -.-
Something I found interesting the other day. Spanish River High billboard thingy out front reads Happy Birthday Kielle Kogan. I went to elementary school with her. She was one of the biggest boca bitches I've ever met in my life. We were still "friends" though in third grade. I went to her sleepover birthday party and she had karaoke. That was actually the first time I had done karaoke. And the last, come to think of it. There was big drama with me and Danielle Laratro choosing our song, because we wanted to do the same one as each other, but couldn't agree on which one to choose. We came to a compromise though, and sang some song about a car accident I think.. The songs were all from the 60's. But me and Kielle stopped speaking after a sticker incident. She traded me her jaguar fuzzy sticker for three of the little dollars our teacher gave us when we were good and we had white elephant sales at the end of the week/month/whatever...I can't really remember how often they occurred. Anyway, right after we traded she's like no, I don't want to trade. And I'm like tough, we said no trade backs. So she wrote me a note and put the dollars on them saying TAKE THESE! So I threw them inside her desk. (We sat next to each other) I still have that sticker. Sucker.
I remember random things. One time I was on a website looking at bunnies (don't ask..it was summer and I had nothing better to do), and my dad came up behind me. He said "oh, so-and-so had a rabbit just like that." "Yea, I know. Suki." (that's "Sookie," btw, not "sucky") He was so shocked you would have thought I had said...something other than the name of a rabbit. "What?!" "Wow, how do you remember that?" "I dunno...I just do." "Man, you could not have been more than two years old the last time you saw them." Hmm...I dunno. Just liked the rabbit. It was black and white. I fed it alphalpha. Bunnies are nice.

I took a mental health day. So sue me.
I woke up this morning, and it was next to impossible to get out of bed. So on my way out to the kitchen, I thought about what was going on at school today. Precalc test, possible english oral, chem notes, health class. Ok, it's manageable to make all that up. I just could not function today if I was that exhausted. So I got to the kitchen and I said to my mom, "I should stay home today." And she's like "ok. Your attendance is good enough this year, and I think you need to take a mental health day." Sweet. So I went and asked my dad what was going on today and he said he was just gonna run some errands. So I said Ok, I'm going back to bed. And I did. I couldn't even stay awake long enough to see the "Gravedigger" video that was currently playing on VH1 and I fell asleep with my TV on.
I slept through school.
I woke up, glad that it was light out for once, and looked at my watch. Ironically enough, it was exactly 2:50. I slept a lot. I feel better now though, although I got nothing done really. I had planned on doing stuff today and being productive. Oh well.
I went to the mall though, at about 4. I had to get a top for Saturday. I got a top and new pants! Not pants for the party. Just pants. I'll wear them tomorrow. They're good pants.
And, since I slept through the better part of today, that's all I've done. And I'm very happy about that.
