Under The Fro

The Stalker

2006-02-01T20:32:00.000-05:00

It appears as though the stalker guy I was talking to does not exist, according to the information he gavc my friend's mother. He asked me for my email and I was like, uhhh, I do not use my email that much, so I do'nt know it...(and then I left.) I noticed a few mistakes in my last thing, both JV's git fifth, and both Varsity's got fourth.

The State Meet, My Predicament, and All the Other Random Things

2006-01-29T10:16:00.000-05:00

First I know that you are wondering how I am typing this or you think that I am on John - Mark's computer. Actually, I am on a laptop that is extremely outdated that my father gor for my mother to use for the time being. I have a total of 700-something megabytes, whoopee.... Matthew took the screwed up computer to his dorm so that he can work with it, and hopefully fix it. I recently got back from Gainesville, I was up there for the State Swimming Meet. That being said, I shall tell you about it. We were able to get out of school early, right after lunch to be exact, and we left to go up there. It was a three hour drive and I was able to layout on the seat and get some sleep. We got up there around 5ish or 6ish and then went and ate at the buffet place called Fire Mountain. I suggest not going there, and if you do, what you may think is meatloaf isn't. There seemed to be alot of Mexicans running around up there, and a good bit of stuff was actualy written in Spanish. After eating we went to Riverside and swam in their pool, which was a very nice pool. We went back to the Hotel and watched Red Eye then went to bed. The continental breakfast we ate was alright, but nothing more than I expected. We got our things together and headed over to Riverside for warmups, around 8. Then the actual meet started at 10:30. I saw some little fat kid there that kept picking athis nose, ears, and belly button and he was looking around at people doing this too, it was pretty sickening. Overall we came in fourth, I came in fourth on the 50 breast stroke, and third in the freestyle relay. Our varsity guys got fourth, and the JV boys got fifth, and I think that both varsity and JV got fourth. You should ask me about the stalker/rapist/gay old guy that I met. We do not know if he was a stalker or a rapist, but I am pretty sure he was gay. I was only talking to him because I was a dumbass, but you should just ask me about him. This past week of school was pretty boring, but it was the last week of swimming, yay! Now I am free to do whatever for the rest of the semester!!!

My Extremely Stupid Computer

2006-01-22T20:51:00.000-05:00

We fixed the internet problem, but now I can't even get on the computer. It starts to load and then flashes the blue screen of death then restarts. Bill Gates and Microsoft needs to come and personally kiss my ass.

All the Recent Movies

2006-01-21T15:41:00.000-05:00

Well here is a short overview of the 5 movies I have recently seen, those being Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Mr. and Mrs. Smith, Doom, Stealth, and Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow.
Monty Python - This is by far the most random movie I have ever seen, which is great because it fits my personality. They make fun of just about everything, and do it well. This is a must see if you want to have a good laugh.
Mr and Mrs Smith - You have probably already seen this, if you have not, you need to. Girls will probably like the love story (I think there is one) and guys will like the action, and Angelina Jolie, of course. I would also suggest this.
Stealth - Decent movie, if you like action and airplanes go see it, but it is not a death or life situation.
Doom - Great Action, picks up slow though, and there is this one part, where you will either like it or hate it. Its basically like watching someone play the videogame.
Sky Captain - Definately an odd movie, I liked it, but it picked up slow. I think Sky Captain is a comic book hero, but I am not sure because I am not that old. Has a somewhat funny ending too.

2006-01-21T08:11:00.000-05:00

I got bored and played with my picture editor....

Internet

2006-01-20T22:31:00.000-05:00

Yes so recently the internet has not been working to well, but Mike C. was able to fix it. I felt like a crack addict without crack....ahhhh internet....

The Lock-in

2006-01-14T12:07:00.000-05:00

As I said, I went to a lock-in last night with my cousin. It was crazy awesome. I met new people, their names being Rebecca, Jenna, Josh, and a bunch of others. All we did was go around and play with people and then their was a midnight service. Around 4:00 this morning I decided to get in on a game of flag football. Now we were playing flag football in the indoor soccer arena, because we were at Sportstown. First time we were on offense, I got the ball, and ran it for a touch down, in which case I pulled the right groin muscle. This wasn't too bad so I kept playing. The next time I got the ball I was running full speed at a lateral and then curving out to where I was running alongside the wall. About the time I was along side the wall the person got my flag, but also shoved me a bit, and then my legs went out from under me, and I slid on my leg full force into the side wall, all of the pressure on my right knee. As soon as I hit the wall i rolled back, from reflex, and jammed my thumb or broke it or I do not know it hurts really bad right now and I can not move it to well. I bounced back up and stopped playing for a while so that I could walk it off. It was not too bad. Now I have trouble walking though, and I do not know how my bass playing will be, and Monday we will find out if I will be able to go to the pickup game. We also played soccer alot last night. Me and a few others would be in the goal and everybody was kicking it at us, there were nut shots, head shots, chest shots, and those were the places that got hit, on me. Besides all the painful events, it was quite fun. Well for now pray that I did not damage anything, I do not think I did, but if I did we will not find out until next week, which would be when I noticed that my thumb wasn't working or something like that.

The Brother is Gone

2006-01-13T18:29:00.000-05:00

Yes so I have not updated since I know not when. Matthew moved out on Teusday or Monday, one of them, I never actually said by...oh well, not like he isn't Macon. I am going to a lock-in tonight with my cousin so that will be fun. My life is about to be busy again, RDS, Quartet, Chapel Music, and then just playing with my band. So I have not done too much. The band consists of Clayton Pope, David Darnell, and myself, of course. We have no drummer but thats ok. We still need to come up with some songs or start playing some, but we are still pretty good. Clayton and David are very good at the guitar, Clayton has had lessons, so he is a little better, but all David needs is a few lessons and he will be up there too. Well I am off to live on with my life.

Wonderful Days

2006-01-10T20:30:00.000-05:00

Well I have not updated with any stories from my life, so I guess I will. Today my cousin Timothy recieved internet, and my other cousin was put in at FPD, lets hope he gets in. I found a picture of myself in the band room, if you want to see it I'll show it to you, apparently its been there for a while, and I never noticed it....Morgan let one boyfriend go and got another in a matter of like a day, Travis Forbes is being nice to her because she, I mean he is dating Morgan's best friend. Morgan's boyfriend, Drew, looks like a total stoner. Morgan might be moving to Arizona, I hope she doesn't, even if the rest of the world does. My bande started playing with each other today, we might play in chapel this week, but definately the chapel after that. So yep, I'm in a band, besides the concert band, I feel special.

Songwriting

2006-01-08T16:29:00.000-05:00

Yes, surprise, I have written a few songs, but this one seems to be very good, so I decided to post a link so where I originally put it up on the web.
Check it out -> http://www.musicianforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=431548
Tell me what you think, though I probably will not care what you say, because I actually know you. Now I just need to get up some music.

Swimming in the Cold!!!!

2006-01-07T17:20:00.000-05:00

Title inspired by something someone said to me...but I was not swimming in the cold. It was a swim meet. And it is very cold outside. As for me and how I did with actual swimming, I did pretty well, never got first, but I have decided that swimming is not my thing, actually I am not to good at most sports, but that will not stop me from playing a few. Football is out of the question, most likely will not happen. So for the intresting things about the meet. There is something the older swimmers started last year and they put I<3U, so Odie put that on my arm, then I decided to have him put something like that on my back, to be like the other people there who had randomness on their back. Odie put I Love Andy. SO I walked around like this for a while, then I decided to draw on my chest. I drew a Smiley face, that had a mustache/goatee/beard thingy. I definately got some intresting looks, I even got my picture tooken by some random dude, and that happened twice too. That was the only intresting thing about the meet, so now I am done with that story.

My Lovely Week at School for the First Time in the Year 2006

2006-01-06T21:24:00.000-05:00

Yes, so school has started back, I have gone through learning about the new building, which is pretty cool, and slightly confusing. So I have some friends and we are going to start a band, because we already know how to play our instruments pretty well, and we only need a drummer, which I think I will teach Travis Rogers how to play. School has been pretty easy so far, John-Mark got his driver's license and a car, so now I will forever stop riding with mother to school, except for the random days. I have a new band for all you folks to check out, Dispatch, if you can get their music, download The General, and Cover This, two very good songs. Tomorrow I have a swim meet in Fort Valley, I will have a seperate story to cover that, tomorrow. Accidently chipped my bass, very very tiny, not noticeable, but it still made me angry, never put nice basses in gig bags, only the cheap ones. I can not wait until swimming is over, it will be jam time with my friends, it will be awesome. Morgan broke up with Chris, and now I think that Travis Forbes is trying to make his move, I have no idea what Morgan will do, she says she hates him, but still talks to him, and do not post saying anything to me about this, I already know what you have to say so hold your tounge. Katie seemed to be having a bad day sometime after lunch, maybe she was feeling bad, but I do not know. Well it is off to bed for me, tomorrow will be tiring, but you may still call me, I may or may not answer though. Goodnight!

Movie Review - Band Camp

2006-01-03T20:01:00.000-05:00

Movie Review time!!!! Ok, this is the second movie review I have done, and this one being a comedy, and no better place to do this than at band camp. This movie's main character is Stiffler's little brother Matt. If you have seen American Pie or American Pie 2 or American Wedding, than you know who Stiffler is, and you have an idea about who his little brother is. But if not, here is some background on him. He is an asshole. Ok, you get the picture, Stiffler also has a fascination with naked women. Matt, Stiffler's little brother, wants to be like him, and tries to impress him, and he is a jerk as well. He pulls one on the band at the beginning of the movie, which includes pepper spray, and a leak into his pants. Quite funny too. He is caught, and sent to band camp as punishment. Matt decides to make this into an intresting event, well atleast for the Stiffler side of him. That being said, he gets lots of mini camera's and such. You get the idea, right. If you do not, let me spell it for you. B-A-N-D C-A-M-P P-R-O-N, if you do not know what pron is, switch around the two middle letters and you have it! So he is runnning around recording on the happenings, and then you learn that when he was little he was not a jerk Only around his older brother and his older brother's friends was he a jerk. Eventually the story evolves into a love story and then some people show up and some other events happen that I can not tell because this would ruin it. Overall I thought this was a good movie. If you can stand seeing boobs and butt, guys and girls, then I would suggest seeing this movie, but if not, do not see it. Not that it is all boobs and butt, but it is still in there.

Back to School

2006-01-02T21:06:00.000-05:00

Ever seen Billy Madison, I have that song that he sings when he is going back to school stuck in my head.....back to school, back to school....uhhhh, ermm, well tomorrow I have the great joy (he, joy, the opposite of course) of going back to school. Pros- show off my bass and play on big bass amp and start earthquake, see old friends that I haven't seen for, OMG, TWO WEEKS!!!!, and explore the new second story to the 200 building. Cons - english, math, french,...science..., classes in general, Coach Rabun,...its school...um I believe those are all. Yes so I am going back to school tomorrow, I recently rememberd a band called All-American Rejects, you know, the good old song Swing Swing. I downloaded some of there songs, pretty good. I watched a movie today, Band Camp, which is like the fourth movie in the American Pie world/timeline. I will have a review on that tomorrow for all ye who are bored's enjoyment. The sugar bowl is on, UGA is losing to I-do-not-know-who and I do not really care because I do not like UGA that much, just the band, because I am a band nerd. But do not get me wrong, I love football, but I am on the Tech side of town. If this is a surprise to you, get on with life, sorry I did not tell you sooner. If you think that I will be one of those people that hate UGA fans then you are also sadly mistaken. I just do not cheer for UGA on most occasion, and right now during this game I am neutral. I hope that everyone enjoyed their wonderful break, even if they had a couple mishaps that involve fence jumping and cutting your leg....or if UGA loses this game that it will not ruin your break, and enjoy the new year, new people to meet, new ages to become (15th b-day only 5 months away!!!!) and new adventures (Ski Trip, Project Sweat, other random vacations and trips to take!!!) and of course talents to perfect, such as bass playing...new promises to make, and then break, and New Year's resolutions to break, or keep, depending on which circumstance you made them, to break them or keep them. New women to s.......

January First 2006

2006-01-01T00:19:00.000-05:00

YAY!! A new year!!! Woop, things that happen will this year that I know of -
Go to highschool
Turn 15, learner's
More random adventures
- but that is rocks for me. New year, new things to do, new people to meet (????? maybe, I met someone knew this year...) Well I am sitting here listening to AFI, they are pretty good, now on my great bands list, which also includes Fall Out Boy, PANIC! At The Disco (If you like Fall Out Boy give these guys a spin), my favorite System of a Down, Bloc Party, and Red Hot Chili Peppers. Well I missed seeing the giant ball drop, woops...not that that was extremely important, oh well, no telling how many of those things I will hopefully see (I do not want God to take me for a few more years, I would like to get a car and go to college and get decently far into my life and then I will be contempt.) So I hope you enjoyed all of my random pictures, they weren't that random, but oh well, I like the adjective, so what. My big brother MAtthew got home from skiing today, I have to wait for another month and 17 days, yep, I am starting to count down...cool less than 50 days... ENJOY THE NEW YEAR!!!

The Bass

2005-12-29T22:27:00.000-05:00

So write now I am only writing this because I don't want to go upstairs right now because my brother decided to be an ass and punch me in the balls. We went to another pawn shop today, Middle Georgia Pawn, they had a ton of basses, and evens and tons upon tons of guitars. I payed $350 for the bass, which came with a case. The case is listed at $115, new, and the bass is somewhere around $550 new. He was trying to sell both for $400, but I asked him if he could go down on it and so I payed $350. The bass is a Diamond Series Shector Omen 5 (http://www.musiciansfriend.com/srs7/g=home/search/detail/base_pid/513489/), and the case is a Gator (http://www.musiciansfriend.com/srs7/g=bass/search/detail/base_pid/544765/). So that is my Christmas present, and I saw King Kong today, good movie. I will probably also go buy a game sometime...

Christmas and Camping

2005-12-28T15:28:00.000-05:00

Ahh, Christmas, a day when little boys and girls wake their parents up so that they can recieve there gifts and everyone should be merry. For Christmas, I was given money, $175 to be exact. And soon I will buy a bass, I also got a jacket from Monterey Bay, California, which I burnt alittle while camping, and a shirt from American Eagle. My mother also went out and bought me a random plaid shirt, whose main color is red. I think that I will buy a bass tomorrow, after I look at some at Bill Harden. Thinking of buy an Epiphone, which is by Gibson. I will get a pictue of it, and myself, when possible. Mmmm, camping. No I did not go "camping", but I did camp. We had a giant fire, and we chopped down a giant tree with a more than dull axe and it took forever. That was fun, but what stays at the camp site stays at the camp site....but nothing sexual happened. Well I think that tomorrow I will go see King Kong....

Christmas Eve Day

2005-12-24T22:11:00.000-05:00

Ahh yes, well Christmas has begun. My family and I went out to see my mother's side of the family, and exchange gifts, and have a wonderful time. The gifts, from my Aunt Sally, a Tshirt that ahs to do with food and it is from the American Eagle, it has a pig on it. My Uncle got a fleece from California, actually he got three of them, atleast, under the brand name of Monterey, never heard of them, but I guess they are really nice. It is a really nice fleece. We ate lunch and my grandma was there and it was a happy time. I made some videos, on my phone, and I will show them to you later. Later we went to the Christmas Eve service, where we had the candles and we held them in the air singing Silent Night. Some of the wax dripped on my hand. My dad's side of the family was at the event, and afterwards we went to a Chinese Resturaunt (spelling??? one of those random words that I know how to spell just not sure.) So now I am at home and about to go to bed where I will have to go to church tomorrow morning at 10:30 then go over to my Grandad's house and get my check from him. Then next week sometime my dad and I will go bass guitar shopping....

Paintball

2005-12-23T19:19:00.000-05:00

Seems that everytime you play paintball you get really intrested in it. Well it is time for me to go and take my gun to get fixed, and get some CO2 and buy a case of paint. I guess I will have to do that next week sometime. Christmas is coming super close, and fortunetly the days don't seem to be getting slower. Today went buy really fast, which is good because tomorrow is going to go buy pretty fast, and I might go see a movie tonight, maybe..... Pray for Morgan, her leg was cut and she had to get a bunch of stitches, so pray for that and that even through that she will have a good Christmas, and one last item....MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! (If this statement offends you then you need to leave and never talk to me again.)

Check this Out

2005-12-23T08:33:00.000-05:00

From looking at some of the random things on the older brother's site, I found something on pirating, check the article out, its pretty cool...http://www.slyck.com/news.php?story=1032

Work....

2005-12-22T19:15:00.000-05:00

Well this week is coming to an end, tomorrow that is, and then it will be Christmas time, and I get to spend the end of this week being lazy!!! I worked my three days and earned my 27 hours multiplied by 5.15 dollars, which I will recieve next week. Yesterday was the longest of the three, today was the simplest. I folded some boxes, helped unload the truck, and watched the pie baker. It was really super easy. Yesterday wasn't that hard just that is was uber boring which makes everything go slower and longer, well I am glad that now I can enjoy the rest of my brake....later dudes.

The 20th

2005-12-20T20:06:00.000-05:00

No work today, very exciting indeed, well atleast for me. I went to the church, instead, and watched my little brother, aand my cousin tagged along, and then we did something with the JHigh Youth guys, which was very fun. We played lots of random games, laser tag being the highlight. We all ran around in that building of the church and shot at each other, it was wonderous. When I got home I was going up to play on the bass and i wiped out on the stairs...had my root beer in my hand, it went everywhere, I was sprawled out on the stairs. I fell and my knee crashed down on the edge of one of the steps and the my forearm nailed another edge and my shin joined in on the edge bashing, then I believe I rolled down a step or two then I just layed there and was comprehending what just happened and about how bad it hurt. I was also laughing, and making the groaning noises that you make when you are hurt, at the same time. I layed there for a little while, hoping I would be able to stand up, which I was able to do. So now I have a bruise on my left shin, right knee, left forearm, and right elbow, which I got last week and made worse yesterday in the storeroom. Tomorrow is gonna suck....and I my toe started bleeding today and I didnt notice it and I somehow bruised those to, I think its the new shoes. Well tomorrow I will be back at the Cafeteria and I will tell whatevery story that may bring at a later date.

2005-12-19T22:50:00.000-05:00

Check it out, its Stony and I, sometime over the summer when I was thirteen, rocking out, well, I am sorta in there.

Workday #1

2005-12-19T22:44:00.000-05:00

Well today I stormed the S&S. This is a good thing, people get help, get home faster, I get money, get to do more things. I went to work today and did a bunch of random things that helped my grandad make more money and then I came home and Stony was here so we jammed out for a little while then jsut talked and thats about what my day was. Goo'night

Sunday before Christmas

2005-12-18T22:15:00.000-05:00

Well next week we will all gather with our family's and exchange gifts and think about how happy we are and then a few days later we will find something else that we want. Best time of the year to be spoiled, too. Right now I am angry with my mother, but in doing so I look at myself in disgust because it makes me feel spoiled and selfish, but I am still angry. Mother is ruining my break, making it more boring then it will already be, she will not let me go ahead and get the present I want so that it will be here for Christmas, and I will have to wait until after to order it and then I will not get it until after school starts back in which case I will not be able to play with it that much. You can see how much of a fun Christmas I am going to have. I might jsut throw it all in her face and say here, go pay off your bills. The deal with the upcoming change in the age of getting your driver's license also pisses me off, in which case i would throw more money in my mom's face and be like here, I do not need this money, I can not get a car for 18 more years so screw that........Well I am in an extremely pissy mood though you could not tell if you saw me right now, I am a good actor.

Christmas Dance and Saturday

2005-12-17T18:32:00.000-05:00

Well today was very dull and seems that nothing has happened. That being said, I did watch a movie, or rewatch a movie. I rewatched LOTR: The Return of the King. Good movie, good ending, yet sad ending, makes me wish that even though it will happen, I do not want to lose my friends. Alas, it will happen at some point in time, it is inevitable. So the Christmas Dance. It was fun. I was not the only 8th grader there, there was Ray, Nathan, Travis,...jeremy boulard....,Hannah, Ruth, and Morgan. I also of course saw many other people that I know that are in highschool. We ate supper early and then went and chilled at walmart, it was awesome, got lots of looks. Maybe that is why today seemed boring, last night was eventful, je ne sais pas. I did get new shoes today, from walmart, yep. Saw Katie there... I have done nothing else, I was going to go to Bill Harden but my mother was out of it and my dad never seemed to get around to taking me. Yes, that is all I have to say, for today, till the next post...

Out of School

2005-12-16T11:02:00.000-05:00

Yes, Christmas break has come, no school....NO SCHOOOOOL!!! I took my final test today so now I am just going to chill for two weeks, well, sort of, I am working next week, but after that I am going to chill. Peace Out

Thursday

2005-12-15T17:00:00.000-05:00

Yes, I do realize that I misspelled Tuesday. My bad. Maybe I will start to use french days so then if i do misspell some of them then you will not know. Today was the math midterm, which means I was tested on Geometry. Simple but time consuming. Tomorrow will most likely be the hardest of them all and I feel slightly prepared for it, but being unprepared is my way of being prepared, and most stuff comes to me when I need it to. The stuff just pops into my head, its weird. I believe that I have been brainwashed by PANIC! At The Disco, I was singing their music during swimming today. Well I am off to supper and will tell more of the intresting story of my live (sarcasm intended.)

Teusday

2005-12-13T17:28:00.000-05:00

Today was a studying day. I look forward to an English midterm tomorrow, which is supposedly going to be easier than normally since she was gone for so long. After that I have math which won't be too bad, and that is on Thursday, and then on Friday the dreaded science.....its gonna suck. But atleast I am getting out at 10:15 tomorrow, I am gonna come home and go to sleep. I recently recieved a good bit of music from Fall Out Boy and PANIC! At The Disco, I will soon have a good bit of music by U2, Coheed and Cambria, and A perfect Circle. If you know of a really good band then tell me so that I might look into getting some of their songs. Well thats all to say for now..

What Happened at Midfest, And Sunday Bloody Sunday

2005-12-11T14:00:00.000-05:00

Well today is Sunday, and I came home yesterday. Tomorrow starts the last week of school in the year of 2005, and that means midterms, and for me, a little bit of makeup work. As usual, I am extremely bored on Sundays, there is nothing to do when I am home, just like Saturday's. Today is different though, I watched some movies, and the Eller's are taking me to go see The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, so I will have some entertainment for the evening. Midfest was almost the same as last year, except the practises went by quicker and the music was even easier. I still messed up on the Bflat scale, even though I played it perfectly when I warmed up before hand. There were no extremely long lines, so I did not really meet anyone while standing in the line. I met some people in the band that I was in, but none of them were to memorable. The sad thing is, the last day before the performance was when I seemed to meet everybody. Mikey was going around trying to meet some chicks...at a band event....which I told him was extremely sad and he knew that it was. Its not like all the girls that were there were ugly though, just most of them. I do not know why or how but I some how met a girl, and gave her my email address, because she asked for it, and for some reason I can not get her off my mind.... The whole thing started out as me glancing at her and she stared back, so I of course kept eye contact. I asked her why she was looking at me and then we argued about who looked first but I decided to drop it, it was pointless. Everynow and then I would look back over at her and she would be doing something random, I pointed this out and mocked her. Me and Peavy decided to go look at Trey who was sitting in the warmup room and then someone shot a penny at us. We turned around and tried to figure out who it was, and then the girl told me a story about something that happened with a penny. She said someone shot one at her, it went down her shirt, and then its way down her pants. We talked for a few seconds and I went back over to Keegan and then I met a girl who played the trombone, intresting story about her, but I am not telling it right now, and then I met the girl that I have been talking about and we introduced, her name is Amber, which means that she made a good impression on me considering that that is the only name I remember. Her friends were with her and we talked about ourselves and about how hyper she was and then it was time to go warmup. When we finished warming up, we were allowed to talk, and then she told someone to tell me that she wanted my email address, so I told that person to tell her that I would give it to her later. After the concert she gave me a little slip to put my email and name on, so I did that, and then looked at the one she gave me and then everything got a little weirder, she had the same last name as me, odd. And according to her friends, there are a lot of things in common between us, from what we new of each other. So yes, I did meet a girl, which wasn't my goal, but I did anyways, and she has no idea what I really look like. I was wearing a beenie the whole time so my hair was not poofy, and I had on my glasses. My goal was to not be recongized by any one if they ever saw me again, and it probably worked, but now I am not so sure that I want it to be that way anymore. Maybe I will just send her a picture of me.....

Tuesday

2005-12-06T17:30:00.000-05:00

Yes, its Tuesday. I hate Teusday, but for some reason I liked today. Maybe thats because tomorrow is the day before the day that I leave for Midfest. And next week Teusday is a half day, and after that I will be out for Christmas, after that week actually. Well today was nice and laid back, I went to the doctor, I got my finger pricked, the doctor gave me a compliment on the drumline. I ate french food in french and never eat the pate it taste like egg salad but with a nasty after tase and I suggest that you do not eat it. If you are wondering, pate is a spreadable meat and in france they like it, I think. It is pronounce pa-tay but i get the little mark above it some I am not going to worry about it. I got all the Harry Potter's, or atleast the first three, I am currently getting the fourth and I will have it by tomorrow sometime. Ok, well thats all just telling you about my day and if you ask me on AIM then I will probably direct you to this site, later.

Monday

2005-12-05T17:25:00.000-05:00

Well today was the beginnning of the week and I was in a very good mood. That probably ahs to do with the fact that midfest is this week and I am missing all of school Friday and the worst classes on Thursday (well except band, but basically that is the only class I will be in, sorta) and next week we only have one day of actual school. Yes so this is a good week. They were able to wake my grandmother up, apparently she was not getting enough sodium. I just got the first three harry potter movies, just to check them out, and I will get the one that just came out once I watch these, if I like them. School is going well, still do not know who made up the rumor, but it will eventually come out. I still feel like I am being ignored but that might just be me. Of course, I am pretty busy after school, I have to leave soon after school to I do not get to socialize. Well, until tomorrow, I am out.

Sunday

2005-12-04T19:52:00.000-05:00

Today I did absolutely nothing but go to church, decorate my christmas tree, and have dgroups. I am starting to pay attention in church, which is good. We were learning about giving and for some reason I think it applied to me. I want to get a $400 bass for Christmas, and to do so I will need to work for the whole week before Christmas, and then give all of that to my grandad and he will pay the difference. That being said, I do not believe that I will have any money to buy other people things, even though some of them may buy me something. This makes it much worse considering that I won't be able to give back that much, maybe if they give me money I will use it and go buy them something... Yes, so you can see I have had that on my mind, even though I haven't really been big on buying presents for people in the past, maybe I should start, though I might wait until I am 16 and have an actual job. Decorating the Christmas tree keeps becoming more and more of a chore it seems. I do not know why, it just seems that the older you get the less excited you become about the christmas tree, but my little brother enjoys it. This year, since our Christmas tree is in a corner, we only decorated the part that you see, but there is a window, so if you went outside and looked at the tree it would look like a tree with a few ornaments on the side and some lights. In dgroups we recieved a new book to read to help us with our daily reading. For some reason I have this really bad feeling that this is going to be a super sad Christmas for me. Pray for my grandmother, mum was just called and they can not seem to wake her up...

Movie Review - Kingdom Of Heaven

2005-12-03T18:32:00.000-05:00

Yes, I finally got the movie, and watched it. This movie caused much friction between me and my mother, simply because of the rating. This movie is rated R for violence, and a few other things, but violence is the main reason. One thing, on violence, that I noticed was the frequent slashing, or stabbing, of a person in the neck, or through the juglar vein, and of course blood started to rain. This being said, it is an extremly gorey movie. I did not watch this movie straight through, I started yesterday, almost finished at 2 in the morning, but I was caught by my father, but i finally finished while the parents were asleep. The movie did not start off to slow, someone was killed in the first scene.
Balin (I believe that is how you spell it) was a blacksmith in somewhere around 1100 A.D. His father was a very respectable knight, but had abondoned him and his mother. He comes and finds his son (Balin) to ask him if he would like to come with him. Balin doesn not accept, but after an event, he goes and catches up with his father. Soon thereafter, because of the earlier event, they are attacked. This is when you get to see your first battle in this movie. The others are much better, which is good, just means that the battles get better and better as you go. There does not seem to be a large plot, other than the Muslim's want to take Jerusalem, and Balin, in the end, attempts to protect. This is no big deal though, there is probably more to the plot but I would end up telling the whole movie, which is not what I want to do. To find out if Bailin succeeds in his quest, you must watch, I am not spoiling. My cousin did not like the ending but I did, it may be because an ending doesn't ruin things for me, I don't know.
Another aspect of the movie was its music. To some people, they may think, music is music and it does nothing for the movie. What they do not realize is that music can help add to the scene. Just think about the soundtrack in all the horror films that you people watch. The score for Kingdom of Heaven, as typical as it would be for all war films, filled its purpose. When the heat of the battle was being shown, you could feel it in the music.
One last thing to give attention to. Special Affects. These were done to perfection, or atleast for this era. Seeing the large armies was spectacular, they were vast, and I would hate to be there looking into an army so grand. The other affects, from collapsing walls to people burning were also done with perfection. This being said, there is not anything to criticize.
All in all this was a well done movie, and I would suggest it to most people. I would not suggest this movie to kids who act out what they see, or people with particularly weak stomachs, as there is lots of realistic blood.

The Brother's Sixteenth Birthday

2005-12-03T16:17:00.000-05:00

Yesterday my older brother John-Mark, henceforth known as JM, turned 16. We did not do anything for him....yesterday that is. He was not home that much yesterday as well. Today we had a small celebration. My grandparents came over, as well as my cousins. The amount of people there were considerably smaller then the amount at Thanksgiving. The only gift my brother recieved besides money was some odd clothing from my aunt that looks to be very intresting. He did not go get his driver's license today, and I am not sure when he will, but it might be sometime in January. The reason being, which is my parents opinion, is that he will not have a car, what is the point of having a driver's license. They will probably use the same reason for me, though the age for getting a driver's permit might change to 17 before I turn 16, which would suck. Hopefully that will not happen, hopefully... On another note that is completely irrelevent to the topic is that until I figure out how, this is my layout, though I should be able to put some pictures up, if I may be able to get ahold of a digital camera. I might try to use my older brothers... If you have any pictures of me that you think I should put on this site, email them to me at andythestar@gmail.com.

The Beginning

Ok, this is what I said, I said screw xanga, lets get my own site, here it is. The very first post and I believe that everybody will be able to leave comments, though I am not sure. I would like to thank Anna Tankard for the inspiration for the Site name and URL, and Jessica Ryjkof for the great quote of - "Life is like a retarded fish with a broken tail." Now lets work on the design...
