939,295 | male | 26 | Internet | Gemini | 02,August,2004 | 'Sup? Just got back from the Big Chill Festival in Hereford, and it was pretty bomb-like. Highlights were John Peel, (With his signature drastic changes of musical styles - 70's Funk to Hardcore Gabber to German Folk. Sweet.) Chas & Dave (Niceness), Lederhosen Lucil, (believe me, if you saw her live you would fall in love with her.) MC Pitman, (Twat hater. And how!). Yoda did a live turntable score to 'Ferris Bueller's Day Off', which was interesting. Senior Coconut had the crowd a-jiving with their Latin covers of Kraftwerk classiques, and Mr Scruff's afternoon Tea Sessions were lovely (He sure is a winner; Plays whenever he can, wherever. Had his own Tea Shoppe, which served tea and all that wikid tea/pie-related merchandise). Also new People I never heard of - Orijahnal Outernational(roots live reggae), and New Sector Movement were Funkahectic. Ritchy Pitch did a good set but there weren't many folk in his tent at the time. All in all a special-nice weekend. (PS send all spelling mistakes & grammatical errors to [email protected]) |
445,168 | male | 25 | indUnk | Leo | 24,February,2004 | I Don't Care if Nobody Loves Me After tomorrow night, film history will be made. Perhaps the most violent most sadistic film ever made will hit theaters, and the churches will be there in the thousands. I have followed the production of The Passion of the Christ ever since Mel Gibson announced his plans last year. The buzz around this film is mind-numbing sometimes. It seems like everyone has something to say about it, and I have read at least 300 articles on this thing in the past 5 months. I think that Mel Gibson has given us a wonderful gift, and God has blessed this production immensely. The biggest question that people seem to wonder about would be : Is the film Anti-Semitic? That's total bullshit! I have only heard that argument once a few years ago, and I found it laughable. So to even hear the ADL and Mr. Foxman complain about Gibson's movie, it makes me sick to my stomach. Now, are the Jews responsible for killing Jesus? No, the human race is responsible. The Bible clearly states our depravity and our need for God. Christ willingly let Himself be arrested, scourged, condemned and crucified, all for the sake of mine and your sins. Now if you want to get technical, the Jewish Sanhedrin conspired to kill Jesus, and Pilate gave the order to crucify Him, however, this does not give anyone right to constitute blame to one, or any specific people group. I wouldn't blame the Jews as a people group for killing Jesus, any more than I would blame the Germans for the Holocaust. Now, as of late I have been reading about all these Churches renting out theaters on opening night. It seems at least around my area that if you don't belong to a local church, your shit outta luck in going to see The Passion for the next few days. If you cannot tell, this idea bothers me . Heres why.........this movie, although blatantly Christian, was not made in order for evangelicals to finally get off their asses and go to the movies. It was not made for churches to rent out theaters for their congregations to have a Wednesday night service! It was not made 'for us, by us', even though I think every christian should be out there supporting this film. I just don't think renting out movie theaters is the way to go about it. Pay your admission prices and stand in line like everyone else! By this next statement, many of you will promptly disagree with me, but I do not think that we christians should be trying to claim this film for ourselves. Here is what I mean by that: Modern christian cinema has given us badly written, candy coated shit like Left Behind and The Omega Code . They shy away from being realistic for fear of being offensive, or worse...Receiving an 'R' rating. And we all know that good christians do not go see R- rated films, beacause they are evil. (Let's just casually ignore the fact that the Bible is R-rated in some parts, and sex, murder, and violence is frequently in it's pages) So we have traded realism for a false pharisee-like morality, when it comes to film. There is no one in the ' christian' film industry that would have had the balls to make The Passion the way that Gibson has done. I think all the media influences would have shut the project down, God forbid we offend someone. Maybe I am being too harsh and perhaps even offensive to some, but my view is....someone has to. I do not like, nor support the idea of modern evangelicals renting out movie theaters and making witnessing packs in conjuction with the release of the film. Praise the film . Go see the film . Take unsaved people to see the film. But let the power of the Gospel do it's job, you don't have to ease it along. Gibson's film, from what I can tell, presents the Gospel in a remarkable way, using one of the most effective mediums in our modern world. No one will leave this film unchanged. Visually, the trailers have given me chills, and I know that this will be the most moving portrayal of Christ that has ever been produced, and I strongly feel like we need to let the Gospel speak for itself. The truth is never sexy, so it's not an easy sell You can dress her like the culture, and she'll shock em just as well She don't need an apology for being who she is And she don't need your help making enemies. -Derek Webb |
445,168 | male | 25 | indUnk | Leo | 13,February,2004 | I Wrecked My Car I am pleased to announce that my car is totaled. I am ok though, although I think I should be dead right now. I only hurt my shoulder and I have a scrape on my head, so thank God I am fine. If you know anyone giving away a car, or alot of money, let me know. Since then I have been humming a Dave Matthews tune about a car crash. So Damn Lucky Everything's different My head in the clouds I hit this corner With my foot on the gas I started sliding, I lose it Everything's different just like that Oh my God, wait and see What will soon become of me? Frozen heart Screaming wheels Does that screaming come from me? So damn lucky, that you went on ahead You said, you said 'I'll see you later...' I heard what you said a few minutes later Now I'm sliding And everything's different again Oh my God, wait and see What will soon become of me? This frozen heart Screaming wheels Does that screaming come from me? I'm dizzy from all this spinning Now I'm thinking that you did all you could When you said 'My love Take it slowly...' 'Ok,' is what I said Oh my God, wait and see What will soon become of me? This frozen heart Screaming wheels Does that screaming come from me? Take me back, 'cause just before I was spinning Take me back, to before I got dizzy Take me back, amazing what a minute can do Just like you So, so, slide, slide, up, around, around, around Amazing what a minute can do Around, Around, Around 'Forgive me', 'Ok.' |
445,168 | male | 25 | indUnk | Leo | 10,February,2004 | Introduction I love doing things on a whim. I retired from my old blog in order to focus on writing a screenplay, and yet here I am again. Quite frankly, I still had alot to say, but I don't think my retirement from To Whom was premature. It was something I needed to do, the site was running very well, and I know I left it in very capable hands. Now I find myself wanting to head in a new direction with my postings, and I am starting things slow and simple....hence the site name. The blogging snobs are going to hate me, because I don't have a pretty template, which is fine by me. Links and comments will be up shortly, and hopefully something good will come of this site eventually. My goal is to be able to express myself and my views in a coherant manner, without holding back on anything. Hopefully I will become bold and controversial, and perhaps even offensive at some points. Don't worry though, there will be some comic relief as well, if for anything else but to make me laugh. A big focus on here will be artistic expression, especally in the area of film making. I plan on writing quite a few articles on film in the coming weeks. My tenative list is as follows: Oscar Picks The Christian and film Controversy in Movies 'Passion of the Christ' film review Most likely none of these will get written, but it's fun to make lists isn't it? I am sure there will also be some posts detailing my mundane life, so I am sure there will be something for everyone. (insert evil laughter here) |
445,168 | male | 25 | indUnk | Leo | 10,March,2004 | Here at the End of All Things My hands are tied and I am helpess My emotions are drained Unable to feel, or think My mind has been erased by circumstances There is nothing Long nights are escaped only by fitful sleep Darkness my only company It drowns out my silent screaming While it covers me like a blanket There is nothing I wish tomorrow could start So that it could be over with Days run together, with nothing to ease this suffering Slow suicide of happiness giving way to apathy There is nothing |
445,168 | male | 25 | indUnk | Leo | 08,March,2004 | My Girlfriend Wrote This My beautiful and amazing girlfriend Kate wrote this little poem. I really liked it, and thought it was very beautiful. So here it is. always look life in the face and accept it for what it is accept its beauty. are you alive? sometimes we lose ourselves for so long we are no longer living life is hurt and pain, its pictures and glimpses of happiness but most of all its beautiful. we never slow down and let the music of life just fill our ears listen to the amazing words it tells us. you can choose your death or you can choose life. its a beauty only enhanced by its difficulties to realize it. all things good or bad, make a piece of living art. |
445,168 | male | 25 | indUnk | Leo | 02,March,2004 | Beautiful Brutality I have sat down many times to write this, and I havent been able to find the words. Last Wednesday night I went to see The Passion of the Christ . I sat for two emotionally draning hours, watching the most horrifically beautiful film I have ever seen. I was transfixed on the screen, I couldnt physically move, or even cry. All I did was sit and experince it. After it was over, I just sat there...trying to digest what I had just seen. I was silent for about 30 minutes after it was over. I couldnt even talk about the movie, I was so affected by it. Thos images are burned into my brain forever, and I am grateful for it. Christ's love for a horrible person like me.....it amazes me. I don't know why He saw something in me that made all that suffering worth it. I am an unfaithful whore, more focused on what makes ME happy, than what God would have me do. I wouldn't have died for somone as ungrateful as I am. Yet something else resonates beyond all the suffering Christ went through: love. He did all of that..because He loved me, and everyone else in the world. I feel so unworthy of that love, it's something that I take for granted every day I live. Thankfully, God's grace is unending, and thats how I can continue to go on. Dispite all my failures (and there are many), He looks beyond all of that and loves me anyways. It's beautiful, and humbling at the same time. Watching The Passion really put me in my place, in a sense anyways. I can still close my eyes and see the blood and hear the whips and the hammers. It was an amazing experince seeing this film, and I do not have the words to discribe it. All I can say is how it has affected me. God's hand was on this movie, and everyone should go see this film. It is bloody, violent and very hard to watch, but go see it. If this film doesn't move you, and make you re-evaluate things, then your way more stubborn in your ways than I am. Go see it, and give me some feedback on what your thoughts are. |
445,168 | male | 25 | indUnk | Leo | 02,April,2004 | Willy Wonka's School of Rock Lately I have been listening to alot of music, and buying alot of cheap cd's from record stores. In the past month I have gotten over 20 cd's...I think. Music is so important to me, and it speaks to me in a way that no art form could. People ask me all the time why I am not in a band, or writing music, and to be honest, I didnt always have an answer. I think I have the talnet for it, but I always end up feeling trite or cliche when I write something. I could never mimic the open honesty of Bob Dylan, or be as poignant as U2, and never even come close to the musical virtuosity of the Dave Matthews Band. Lyrically I could never match the deep, brooding lyrics of Pedro the Lion, or the theologically infused songs of Derek Webb. I would feel like a fish trying to swim upstream, fighting to find my place among the great ones. Maybe thats why I don't push myself to do more musically. Then theres the music industry......if you can call it that. Over the past 50 or so years that rock has been a form of music, things have changed so much. It seems like something is missing from popular music today. It all seems a little too glamorous, maybe a little too skin happy? It seems to be alot more about selling a product, than it is about expressing yourself. Now it seems to be about radio singles and shocking everyone than it is about getting on stage and playing you heart out. Today's musicians would rather bare their bodies than their souls. Why do I live in a culture where Britney Spears can lip lock Madonna and no one even blinks? Why is it ok for Justin Timberlake to rip of Janet Jackson's clothing and give the FCC a heart attack? What the hell has happened to music? It's not even about the music anymore, it's about the show. MTV is singlehandedly destroying music, and doesn't even notice. I guess this is why I have divorced myself from what would be considered popular music. I wanna see artists step up and express themselves. Why doesn't anyone dream anymore? Where is the John Lennons and Bob Dylans of today? I want something a little deeper than ' I wanna rock your body' but maybe thats just me. Most of today's culture would not agree with me at all, since the music is so catchy. It just really saddens me, I wish people would think about the value of music, and become a little deeper in what they listen to. I wanna see some dreamers again in the world of music. We are the music makers, we are the dreamers of dreams- Willy Wonka |

Just wanted to post these lyrics to one of the new songs, it is my favorite song on the album. Also Pedro is going to play some songs and interview on urlLink KEXP Seattle radio on May 25th at 9 am (pt). You can listen to it online, and if you miss the broadcast they will archive it, so you should be able to catch it sometime. The Fleecing deep green hills whose shoulders fade into thick grey/ tall wet grass whose flesh makes fools of grazing sheep/ whose fleecing makes a fool of me/ who shall i blame for this sweet and heavy trouble/ for every stupid struggle i don’t know/ i could buy you a drink/ i could tell you all about it/ i could tell you why i doubt it and why i still believe/ i can’t say it like i sing it/ i can’t sing it like i think it/ i can’t think like i feel it/ and i don’t feel a thing/ ...why i still believe it/ why i need it/ and what the pharisees can’t see/ we’d have more drinks/ and speak of so many things / but i don’t know you and you don’t know me One of the most honest songs about faith I have ever seen. It pretty much discribes me most of the time. Go out and buy the album when it releases May 25th. God bless. |
445,168 | male | 25 | indUnk | Leo | 13,May,2004 | Talk to Me Like You don't Know What We ever Fought About The past few days have been ....well....quite interesting. I have been thinking about what it means to be in love today. In my experince with love, it seems feelings sometimes gets pushed aside and makes way for monotony. First of all, let me say that I am no good at relationships. My track record with women speaks for itself, love seems elusive to me. However, dispite all my shortcomings God had decreed that I meet this amazing girl. This girl has taught me more about love than I ever thought I could learn. I would like to spend the rest of my life repaying her for all she has done for me. Let me go ahead and confess......lately I have been an asshole. I havent been very good about giving her time, and showing affection. She is all the way in Lousiana right now, so I cant excatly spend alot of time with her, except on the phone. So that part is hard for me, and I tend to get wrapped up in other things, things that are not as important to me as she is. So then by the time I call her, I am dead tired..and my selfishness takes over, and sleep has to ensue. So instead of spending time with my beautiful girlfriend, I opt to fall asleep and dream what it would be like to spend time with her. So this post is my penance,and I am tired of being so neglectful. I have prayed about this today, and spent alot of time turning things over and over in my head. All I do know is that I love this girl, and I want to be with her and make her feel like a queen. I hope I can acocmplish this, because she is an angel to me. Kate, I love you baby. |
445,168 | male | 25 | indUnk | Leo | 01,May,2004 | It's been a long time since I have posted, and alot of new changes have been happening. I am finally out of Graceville and have moved to Ocala, FL. It's alot different here, and alot less familar to me. Things are going fairly well, I am still searching for a job. I think I may be able to get one at Best Buy, so keep your fingers crossed? In reediting this post, I have finally found something to talk about. Jeremy and I have been discussion different ideas about movies. Did I not tell everyone? We are going to be big time movie makers! We have a few ideas for short films, and my ideas for full length movies are finally taking shape.. More news when I have it. |
445,168 | male | 25 | indUnk | Leo | 10,June,2004 | In my vain attempts to explain myself when it comes to God's sovereignty and the origins of sin, I have been forced to rethink what I have said.

445,168 | male | 25 | indUnk | Leo | 06,June,2004 | Where theres a will theres a....wait a minute I have a love/hate relationship with theology. I think knowing what and why you believe is very important, and yet I get annoyed at the endless battle with reason. My beliefs have changed alot over the past year, to the dismay of many and the relief of some. My constant struggle with the idea of Predestination, and how it ties into the responsibility of mankind tends to get tiresome. There honestly isn't alot of people I can share my concerns with, cosidering alot of my friends are supporters of the 'free will' myth. This is the part of the show where I get into trouble,since my current line of thinking leaves no room for mankind to have any free will. Most people would gasp at the thought, since we all love the idea of having control of our lives. My views are vastly different. I do not think we have any control, and that all we have is God. Our lives exsists because God breathed life into us. Scripture says that we are nothing without Christ, and that every breathe we take is a gift from the Lord. It says out natural inclination is to hate God, and our hearts are evil. The bible says we have a sin nature, which to me says that we sin on instinct. Mankind sins not because we choose to, but because it's our very nature to do so. Some would say that if this is true then God in some way 'makes' us sin. To this statement I say: your right. God created us with the ablity to sin, just as he created a cow to eat grass. Is God the author of sin? I do not know. I do know that there is nothing that can happen outside of the will of God. There is no screwing up of God's plan, or doing anything that is outside of His plan for us. So by saying that I could venture to say that God did perhaps create sin. But God hates sin right? Yes He does, but He also created the world, called it good and then decided to destroy it because of all the evil that man had done. You think that happened outside of his will? Does that seem like a God who is not consistant? Is it so far fetched to think that maybe God is all knowing, all controlling, and knows what He is doing a little more than we do? Who are we to even make the claim that we can subvert God's plan. Who are we to even question God? He created us and gave us life, and we have the gall to say what He can and can't do? Are we so pompous to think that we can actually refuse God? How can we think we have a free will that somehow makes us higher than God Himself? I think it stems from mankinds age old desire to be like God. So why not invent a mythical will of our own to make us godlike? Does sound a bit Tower of Babel-iss don't you think? |
445,168 | male | 25 | indUnk | Leo | 24,July,2004 | Just a quick update. School is going really well..I am about to be done with my first two classes, and my grades are awesome. Have been dabbling in html for the past few days, and not really getting anywhere. The site is slowly evolving, and hopefull I will be able to actually design something very soon. |
445,168 | male | 25 | indUnk | Leo | 03,August,2004 | I wrote this in class today, since I was bored and needed something more worthwhile to occupy my time. For a long time I have said I was going to write a book called 'What I believe'. I guess its more of a credo of my theology than anything else. Since my 'conversion' to reformed theology (or the dark side as Jeremy calls it) I have had this renewed boldness to my faith. Last week Jeremy and I got into a discussion about this, and he asked me 'How has becoming reformed helped you?' and ' How does your views help bring others to know Christ?'. I didnt really have a clear answer at the time. I think the only thing I said was that it helped me become bolder in my faith. This is not the only reason however, and I have given this question alot of thought. Why would it be important to have sound doctrine? Is my theology sound? Not completely, considering I have a finite mind and my comprehension only goes so far. I do believe in what the Bible says on things, and I try to take things as literal as I can. I have been trying to be true in my interpretation of scripture and I do believe that there is absolute truth. Have I found it yet, I don't know for sure. I hate paradoxes, and I hated running into them in the Bible. I never doubted the truth of the Bible, however I did doubt my reasoning when it came to interpretation. I was fighting with the idea of free will for a very long time, and it was killing me. I could not find evidence of man's will being completely free in the Bible. Then I made the mistake of reading Romans, a book with a famous chapter that I overlooked. A better word would be ignored. Thats where I hit my wall. I didnt change my views yet however, I was a stubborn kid. I remember making this statement wuite a few times. I said 'I will not serve a God who picks and chooses who goes to heaven.' God said ' Oh yes you will'. Guess I spoke too soon. I started reading this book called 'The Sovereignty of God' by A.W. Pink, which really shattered alot of my presuppositions. I tested it with scripture to make sure Pink's interpretations were sound. I couldnt argue with it, no matter how much my mind wanted to. In alot of ways it was a breath of fresh air. I've been accused of taking the easy way out theologically. Calvinism is not an easy road to walk on,even when you are convinced you are walking in the light of truth. Try coming to terms with your own depravity and then admit to yourself that you do not have once ounce of control of your destiny. Try understanding that the only reason you breath is because God is powering your lungs. Or that the only reason you exsist is because God willed you into being. You have no choice when it came to breathing or being created, it was an act of God. Thats a hard pill to swallow. Then you start looking into your own role in salvation, and realize you dont have one. The only thing you can do is respond to God's action of drawing you to Himself. Yet another hard pill to take. After that my world was changed, my views on God were altered. I saw Him alot differently after that. I saw Him as a ruler over every aspect of my life, and I finally truly understood His lordship over us all. Things that I had somehow forgotten about over the years. That is one of the reasons that having doctrine is important, because it affects how you view God. In a few days I am going to post my thoughts on the origins of evil. This is a tough subject to talk about, and I think I am gonna get called a heretic, but what can you do? So stay tuned. |
445,168 | male | 25 | indUnk | Leo | 02,August,2004 | Hey...new template..which I borrowed from blogger. Thanks guys. |
445,168 | male | 25 | indUnk | Leo | 02,August,2004 | This past week was really good. I finished my first month here at Full Sail,and I passed both of my classes,so thank God for that. Thursday night I was blessed to go see the Dave Matthews Band in Tampa, which was incredible. The band was on fire, and played for about 2 hours. They played 4 new songs, which blew me away. This is a band that is in their prime, and you can tell by the passion and the tightness of the band. I honestly feel like they are one of the greatest bands of all time, and they will be around for many more years to come. However, Linkin Park wont be. I also was able to see the latest movie by M. Night Shyamalan. I loved it. 'The Village' is by far my favorite film that M. Night has done. Alot of people tend to pigeon-hole Shyamalan as a film maker, as they keep expecting him to repeat The Sixth Sense over and over. His films are more character driven than cheap scares. The Village does have it's creepy moments, but it is not the main focus. The theme of this film I think, is fear and mythology, and how it affects us. The movie was a few flaws, the main one being the dialogue. Some of it was hokey, but perhaps it was meant to be so, considering how the film turns out. Go see it, and form your own opinion. I am been delving in the Bible lately. Been going through ths Gospel of John, and my eyes have been opened to alot of things. Its a truly amazing book, and it's been fun to exegete some of the passages to understand what Christ was saying. Thats about it on the homefront, I will update again soon. |

3,771,883 | male | 16 | indUnk | Sagittarius | 27,June,2004 | ugh conflict. there are things pulling me in every direction, im jealous in a way but im not stressing, which is strange, instead, i feel this kind of giddy, bubly, strange feeling, and its only just now come to pass. this relationship i have blasted into is wonderful but its hurting people at the same time and that pains me. this reminds me of a book i read, lol actually it was brave heart, when the horses are pulling him apart? that was intense. i dont know how to spell intence. see i just spelled it two different ways and they both look wrong. i like it late at night, i get all numb and jacked up at the same time, i am plauged with contradictions when it gets late and i love thinking about them, but my mind is moving too fast and i feel stupid and slow trying to type. i think i should just scan my journal. blah i feel so random lately. its worth it. |
3,771,883 | male | 16 | indUnk | Sagittarius | 29,July,2004 | i really dont think my mom sees me as a person. i dont want to sound like those people who spout how much they hate their arse rag parents, i really love my mom a lot, and i never lie to her, but in my life there are things i really have to hide from her, something im sure everyone does... however i really wish it wasnt a must, i dont understand if my mom thinks that im just supposed to magically have all the knowledge and experience i need for living when i leave the house, or when im 18 or what... if she thinks there is some rite of passage one goes through when they move away that allows them to make 'good choices' and hang out with the respectable, upstanding, good graded, good talking (hehe) fuckwits that every parent wants thier darling little children to run about with and frollick in a nice sunny buble, blah i dont want to be bitter about it, but when she insults my friends i get really really pissed off, she can talk shit to me all she wants, but to talk about my friends that she doesnt even know is unbelievable, i was under the impression that i was to grow up respecting people for who they were, not how they look, and what they do in their free time, i was taught to judge to determine whether they were good people at heart. the people i have chosen to surround myself with are good people, ive made a lot of really great new friends, that i really respect a lot, and when my mom rips into them after digging into their school files (a few of them anyway, she can do that she is a principal) or calls them fucked up druggies because there was a party with booze or pot i just lose respect for her, and i feel pushed away, pardon the cliche... and the rhyme... damnit i lost my anger, lol stupid rhyme it stole my good angry flow, one more thing to bitch about, my mom called me a fairy freak because i was wearing eye liner, oh and she found out i wore a skirt...(different story) and so now she thinks im trans-sexual, so yeah im her twisted fairy freak trans-sexual crank user son, how fun. on a better note my jennifer situation has blissfuly been resolved and we're both happy and it couldnt have happened in a more sweet and endearing way... lets just hope i can find some sort of balance with my mom shit and my friend bliss, though at the moment i must say i dont mind all that much. |
3,771,883 | male | 16 | indUnk | Sagittarius | 26,July,2004 | bleh ive been so tired lately, i dont know why, my mild insomnia took a crap on my face after i got back from germany, my clock (internal) is messed up in a way i dont like, im supposed to be up into the late hours of the night pondering my existance, and right now all i can ponder is where the hell i left my shoes and how nice a pillow and or bed sounds. sigh, i think i just need to wait it out and... ugh, go to bed. i wish that people didnt need to talk, that emotion and expression could just be shared on a deeper level than the brain. none of us would have to deal with deception or mixed vibes or... idk of course there would still be mixed vibes, there isnt a way around it, i just really really wish there was, things are so simple for me in terms of whats going on in me... well at least most of the time, but if people could just feel whats going on in my heart, there wouldnt be need for second gussing or... i really dont know im not speaking about anyone in particular, any one who knows my situation wont believe that but im really not, im just feeling frustrated we cant REALLY say what we mean to eachother, there is always room for the words to come out wrong or a chance of saying the wrong thing... if people could just show each other what was really going on in their soul, what was down in their heart, i really honestly believe there would be a lot less confusion in relationships, if people could give more than thier word in a promise, a real testiment of what it is they are truly feeling... it would be so perfect. at least for me i suppose. ive been so tired lately, the nights have been so bleak. |
3,771,883 | male | 16 | indUnk | Sagittarius | 25,July,2004 | all one can ever ask from someone they care about is for them to do what they feel is right for them, i dont need... i just want her to be happy. let her life come together like it needs to. please. |
3,771,883 | male | 16 | indUnk | Sagittarius | 24,July,2004 | yes despite the odds i had a really good time last night, it was so much fun! i was at first going out of duty to my friends, i was expecting there would be the suprise and then we would just... sit, and do nothing all night. but i was willing to do that, my friends are important, those 2 are all thats left from middle school, and im not one to be opposed to new people, ont he contrary, i love new people, but its good to have people to know what you've gone through for the years, no need to introduce, no ice breaking, the good ol' familiar. so moving on, for the first half hour or so, we... sat and did nothing (big suprise to me you can be sure) but then we went in and dans mom proposed we go see a good friend of hers, his name is forest, he is an old (well, 40's old) eccentric gay man who is QUITE funny, they all drank and carried on, stories of his youth, god he was funny, and then i drove back (dans mom was a lil tipsy... i love mary-anne) and forest came back too, it was maybe 2:00 am when we got back and we put on some music, oldies and new stuff, van morrison and tool, radiohead and the beachboys, it was so fun, my oldest of friends jake got drunk for his first time, and had his first cigg, and he has discovered that not all that is illegal is a bad thing!! ah he knew this before but he is one to cling to something for the sole reason of clinging, which is fine, i cling aplenty, i suppose its just the things we cling to are... subtly different. forest left at approx 3:30 am and after he left i was able to resolve the majority of my conflicted feeling the the day prior to night festivities. resloved-ness, i love it. so things are back to their norm, or as norm as it can be for a while, but i must say im happy, and im gonna try to hold onto this when my next.... bout, comes 'round. im sure it'll be all good. |
3,771,883 | male | 16 | indUnk | Sagittarius | 23,July,2004 | how could 2 grand events clash with such a mighty force as they are tonight? My good friends 17th b-day suprise party and an awesome concert with a person i absolutely love to be around... all on a friday night. i went with the b-day party. sigh. it was so hard and i can never express what is going on in my head when i have to choose like this, because nobody really expects me to do anything with them, but they cant help hurting when i dont. and this is the last thing i want. words that have been spoken are true, no one is forcing me to sit down with them and chill, who i choose to be with is my choice and mine alone, and its so easy for me to create little worlds where i just exist in a happy delerium with a person i would never want to leave my side. I wonder, no im confident that i would feel just as shity if i chose to go to the concert, so.... ugh i dont know. i hope you have fun jennifer. |
3,771,883 | male | 16 | indUnk | Sagittarius | 22,July,2004 | i was on music piracy application the other day and i illegaly downloaded some songs from an old video game i used to play: The Legend of Dragoon, it was a marvelous video game, full of action with a compelling story of valor, honor, and most of all, an all consuming love. im listening to the main theme right now in fact, and all these powerful emotions that had been evoked from the video game are rushing in, mingling with my already present emotions of... well i dont know. It makes for a powerful combo, i must say. I think its sad that video games have so much appeal over reality, i understand why, in video games... its just better, even if you die in the end at least its for your lost love from another galaxy or to save the planet from destruction... you never see the main charector in a video game getting lung cancer or aids, to perish a slow meaningless death, or getting blown down in a drive by... its always either valliant or natural, spent with the one you love and all the booty (as in treasure) from your adventures handed down to your plethora of children, to your newfound kingdom (you were a bastard child of an evil ruler returned to take what was rightfully yours) It's all so romantic and brilliant, and here i am, looking for a job. hoping my love life turns out right. i can see it now 'the worlds best new video game' 36 levels of action packed job hunting, new features including getting depressed and feeling hopeless!! 'play through the eyes of valdor the great as he tries to figure out what the hell is gonna happen with xandra the beautiful, his mysterious mystress with a past SO elusive, that he can only ponder what it contains...' OR, play online with other jobless heroes, where the new livechat feature allows you to have realtime convos with other players all over the world. how fun. i dont really know what to say now... i guess i just want things to go in the direction i want for once, i dont have a reset button so im just gonna do my best to get a high score on my first, and only, time. |
3,771,883 | male | 16 | indUnk | Sagittarius | 22,July,2004 | this heat is oppresive, i thought germany was hot, this is unbearable, my usual disposition to clothes has escalated into something that will soon grow to be possibly public offensive if this damndable heat continues. im not gonna get my job back, there are reasons; budget crap and new policy B.S. but the fact remains that i am now without a source of income. 400 dollars in the bank and 500 untouchable dollars in savings is all i have to my name... and 400 dollars is good, but i dont like my money dwindling without it growing again, and i have a feeling it will dwindle quite quickly without a job. so... looking for a job with a subtle cloud of dissapointment looming over my shoulder, i hope this gloomy shroud doesnt creep into other potential possibilities in my life. whereas my job situation at the moment is rather dismal, other aspects of my life seem to be going rather well... and i would be quite pleased if they were to stay that way. i always seem to have hope, and this is good. |
3,771,883 | male | 16 | indUnk | Sagittarius | 21,July,2004 | jeez just went to raley's after 3 weeks of gone-ness and there was a crew working that i didnt get along with at best on the job there and there were bad vibes to put it mildly at my perusing, but perhaps its just my paranoia. i guess i didnt think about how i might actually have to work a lil to get my job BACK once i came home from germany, i really need tot alk to the guy that hired me: sam parcher. he's a cool guy, he liked me, he'll hook me up with my job again.. i hope. i have a shot glass for him from germany, maybe that'll help a lil bit... sigh. i really hope i get my job back. |
3,771,883 | male | 16 | indUnk | Sagittarius | 21,July,2004 | back form germany, things are still in limbo, but its pleasant. to be honest, things couldnt be better, and if they could they will be soon. listening to 'broken' by amy lee and seether man and i like it. makes me feel good, because they sound sad and as opposed tomy usual detriment of joy when listening to such songs i still feel... grand. im home, people are lovely, my, situation with jenn is a lil more under control, but i have a feeling things will be fine, regardless of the decision, and im in love witht he world... corny true but im in a good place, my life is a good color right now, things are just flying around and im just livin it and again its grand. i would change a thing with my life. i could always want more freedom and whatnot but its just my mom caring so bleh, i can deal with it and smile. smile. |
3,771,883 | male | 16 | indUnk | Sagittarius | 03,July,2004 | ciggareten and gay pride, with z and y reversed on the key board. these are my profound new looks at germany. im having fun, but i miss jennifer like mad, and whats the worst is our departure the morning b4 i left, that was reallz...unfortunate. not because i got in trouble, actuallz i didnt get in that much trouble, mz mom is joking about it and stuff, kinda cool i guess. i just think its horrible how she has to worrz about mz mom hating her now, which isnt true. the truth is, mz mom hates everz girl i meet till i dont like her anzmore, it pisses me off how she keeps throwing shit about jenelle in mz face. 'jenelle didnt do this' and 'i never saw jenelle leave those on zour neck' grrr, but its cool, she'll come around, and if she doesnt, she'll just have to deal with it, because i reallz dont want anzthing to change between jennifer and i. i dont have her e-mail. in fact, i dont havce anzones e-mail that i want to talk to. i reallz want to talk to wei, and i reallz want to talk to jennifer, and i have neither one of their e-mails.... sigh. im realz not in the mood to do this right now, but at the same time i reallz am, i think the z and y being switched is reallz disrupting mz... flow. lol and i keep sighing. well, time is monez, and if bz anz freak chance either wei or jennifer read this, please leave me a comment with those e-mails... or e-mail me i guess...sigh. |
3,771,883 | male | 16 | indUnk | Sagittarius | 16,August,2004 | my life is a good colour. i feel like though not everything in my life is wonderful (poor me...) things are going in a direction i can agree with and enjoy. my family strife and other issues (actually there is just family strife...) seem petty now instead of aggrivating and arent as difficult to deal with. I am surrounded with people who i respect and who respect me and i feel like i am just barely dipping into a world of people that will really help me grow into a person... the person, whatevr, that i want to be. So thank you for being who you are, even you people who just come across this and post a comment, you dont understand how much i appreciate you. mahal kita to the one who is closest, thank you for taking me for who i am and being consistant in your support and warmth, without you i dont know where i would be, and im glad i can be where i am with a person like you to live life with. |
3,771,883 | male | 16 | indUnk | Sagittarius | 15,August,2004 | the only time i am ever up this early is... well actually im up this early quite often, i just want a dramatic hook to illustrate that i have been up for many hours with no or little rest. i made a photo album, but the pictures are to big to put in my profile and i dont understand url enough to put them in here, so ja... http://photobucket.com/albums/v311/bandnerd9000/ there are cool pictures my cousin took in L.A in there, he took them and i edited them in photoshop, some pretty cool effects i guess. my life is goood, im too tired to put it all poetically like i usually like to do, ar at least try to do, but yeah things are happy with me, at least most of it is, still i ssues with my madre but what's new with that? it doesnt bring me down, well, it doesnt bring me down right now... maybe this is de to the fact that i'm miles away from her... so my dad is in town, havent seen him in a long time.... i wonder how it'll be? i feel good. |
3,771,883 | male | 16 | indUnk | Sagittarius | 09,August,2004 | a wonderful night to put it mildly, but this is a night to put things mildly, to leave things behind corners you cant wrap your tongue around, a night to leave ones brain spinning in circles, a blind dog chasing its tail on the freeway. i hit every light green coming home, it flowed with my mind, green-fresh thoughts, consistant. They seemed vibrant in the black sky, the lights and my meandering brain, flowing from one to the next with an ease that hasn't dripped on my parched tongue in a long time. so a dying man has found his water, and now what do i do? just keep driving i guess, oh but the anticipation! the utter delight that no other cars are congesting my road, my smooth concrete. parallel to that, those persistant thoughts, equally smooth and just as heavy. heavy like a gallon of ice cream, vanilla pleasure, bitter vineger turned to chocolate in the blink of an eye... how did i miss it? ice cream like concrete; but wet now, it fills in the cracks and spaces, the ones you dont step on when you are small, wouldnt want to break your mothers back. the spaces in memory stretch and, grow dim? not dim, the opposite! this is a vivid trip down memory lane, but the clock is still ticking clockwise, im going forwards not backwards, my blind furry friend isnt running counter clockwise in his free way fiesta, no. forward, towards a house with the porch light on, it shines. brown glass, deep, dark, vibrant, glowing, shining, it shines, i told you, and i spoke true, it shines. shine. |
3,771,883 | male | 16 | indUnk | Sagittarius | 08,August,2004 | yesterday was wonderful, went to the beach with jenn kat and john (i think his name was john...) all dresed up in nice clothes, jenn and kat in their prom clothes and john and i just... dressed up... yeah so it was cool, the weather was rather bizarre, it was really foggy but at the same time sunny. (as in the fog was ground level and up maybe 30 ft up and then it was blue sky with the sun beating down on us.) it was hot and we splashed around in the water a lil bit, then john left (wow i really hope thats his name...) and it got sunny (haha it was all his fault it was foggy) and ya. really chill. then i got home and BOOM. UBER DEPRESSION MODE, like seriously, it was crazy, and nothing had really gone wrong during the day, and i had not been greeted at the front door with bitching. strange to say the least. yeah and then another suprise: desperate to leave the house, i ask my mom at midnight if i can go to jakes house.... (an impossibility) and to my utter and complete suprise it was ok. this never happens then i got to jakes and it was all laughes, my bad mood completely gone. i dont understand but oh well, things are good, im happy. ****i apologise if that was just... what i did that day. i dont like doing that... oh and no my title isnt related to my blog in anyway what so ever, it's not even an inside joke... i just... couldnt think of a 'profound' or witty title**** |
3,771,883 | male | 16 | indUnk | Sagittarius | 06,August,2004 | ah finally a day that was good through and through! chilled with jake, got to see jennifer, which was SO nice, and didnt have any badness to deal with when i got home, i have been happy all day, this i so marvelous. haha right now im in a sort of happy delerium, im not used to so much joy, bleh im so corny... oh well. ahh she just makes me so bloody happy i cant stand it. actually i can, heh and if i cant i suppose i could just sit down... (heh heh, get it? cant STAND it?... heh.. eh) so yes things are good, please please let them stay this way. ~oh and pardon my horrible attempt at humor... it slips out sometimes~ |
3,771,883 | male | 16 | indUnk | Sagittarius | 03,August,2004 | a precarious silence has befallen my humble abode... as long as i am PERFECT my mom will not explode. there is an almost unbearable tension, a springloaded landmine that could go off whether someone steps on it or not. i dont care, im ready for this drama to be gone, and im almost curious as to what would happen if i were to THROW the shit in the fan instead of waiting... haha. oh well, jenn is coming back today from camping so im exited about that and my mom is leaving all day so i am blessedly alone! ALL DAY!! this is wonderful, im gonna have jake over and we'll jam... (him on drums, me on piano, loads of fun)... oh that reminds me, my piano broke, the pedal on the far right doesnt sustain the notes anymore, it doesnt do anything anymore... this is quite sad. but oh well, im happy, in a very good mood, a wonderful way to start the day off if i cant say so myself, the prospect of swing dancing tonight is lovely, i havent been in ages, and Jenn seeing Jenn tonight would be absolutely wonderful... so whether i see jenn or go swing dancing, my night is gonna be awesome, and my day is looking good as well. i leave for L.A on wednesday (i HATE typing wednesday) and im really exited about that, leaving again kinda sucks, but it will be a much needed break from my mom, and i think my mom might even need this more than me... hahaha things are swell, as long as i can keep my focus and continue to look at the whole picture i should be fine. |
3,771,883 | male | 16 | indUnk | Sagittarius | 03,August,2004 | for a night owl, my nights have been quite shity lately, with the exeption of last night. why is it i always have to come home to bitching?? i think it is unhealthy to want to flee a place you live in, and i want to flee desperatly. and having things be so splendid outside of home and in other aspects of my life doesnt help.... blah, i make myslef so bloody tense!! i do it all to myself, i know i do. its amusing, i really couldnt wish for things to be better, i mean things in friend zone are...brilliant, and i feel SO good around her, mmmm i love being a corny sentimental romantic 'doofus' im just letting things go.... not like work wise or responsibility wise, im just gonna let my life take me where i need to go, i dont want to wake up when im 30 and realise im in a place i dont want to be, im gonna book it with my school shit and keep up for bloody once, i want my mom off my back, and i want to do well on my own, again for once, see what i can really do without support... i guess i just want a lil room to breathe, room to make my own mistakes and learn from them. i want to live a life without a cushon to fall back on, a cushion that can at times be lined with nails. AAH my life is scattered and collected, i feel like a big contradiction. im happy though, through it all, and im pretty sure ill stay that way... this is the strangest thing... i get home happy, come upstairs, get online, get depressed and angry, and then it melloes out and i feel really good, for no apparent reason or for very obvious reasons, this is so strange. i feel good. **two minutes later** mildly curious ponderings of blue brown eyes.... should feelings flashed for instants in distant chapters blur and slip away when chances were the author was distorted? a blind painter, a poet without imagination? one cannot make the ink wet again... reshape and manipulate what has already been written to suit present pretences... just turn the page man... chill. |
3,771,883 | male | 16 | indUnk | Sagittarius | 02,August,2004 | i mentioned earlier an experience i had with a skirt that got my mom all in a tiff, and i think it may have left me in a bit of a precarious position... im not trans-sexual, ill just get that out of the way right now... and though i can be rather feminine sometimes, im not gay either, i used to wonder if perhaps i was bi... but for the most part guys are pigs and though some are attractive, i wouldnt date them, it just seems off to me. growing up with a lesbian mother has givin me a gift of open mindedness so i have absolutely nothing against gays lesbians bi or trans-gender/sexual people, but i guess it just isnt for me. however, i am open to new things, almost anything (i find it ironic i have been raised in such an open and alternitive home and yet i am being accosted for looks and womens clothes...hmmm) and i like close fitting clothes. so... eventually a time came where i had the, oppurtunity, to wear this really litle pink shirt that said 'i kiss boys' in really glittery letters. my friend liz and poppy bought it for me and so just for the hell of it i wore it to school one day. i go to a pretty rockin school and so i didnt get any shit, and this shirt was small... like mid driff and just the whole deal, yeah some guys looked at me wierd, but i actually got s lot of compliments, and this started a chain reaction of sorts. a few days later, another female friend of mine gave me yet another small pink shirt, and, again i wore it at school, same reaction pretty much, oh if you want to see what i look like, to try and imagine me in a pink shirt (who wouldnt want to imagine a guy in a small pink shirt??) there are pictures of me in an online photo album at: http://www.sonoma.edu/users/n/niemann/Travels/Travels.html so anyway this pink tradition lasted for a few more shirts, and then it died. but now i, when the time came, would be ready for the next step. **bum bum bumm** the next step came a few weeks later when i was hanging out with some friends of mine (and this kind of random guy that was a friend of my friend) and we all decided, (well me and wei decided) to dress me and n*** up in girl clothes and go to a local chill cafe and walk around and make idiots of ourselfs...(sounds like fun...eh?) so we did and we had a ball, it was like 10:00 pm so it was dark and stuff, it was just really cool and funny... lots of fun. now about the skirt in the car my mom found, this was the first(and only) skirt i had ever worn, it was my friend liz's and she gave it to me as a gift, to remember and all that jazz. so yeah i wore that to the cafe with my friends and had jenn hold onto it because i had to leave right when we got back ( i have an 11:00 pm curfew) and she had it at her house for weeks afterwards. when she gave it back to me i left it in the car and my mom found it... of course she found it 2 days after our fight with the eyeliner, and so i walk in the door at 11:15 with eye liner on and my mom had this skirt... doesnt look to good. so its ok i guess, now she just sees me as a twisted trans-gender fairy freak crank user, its all good, im happy with who i am, its a lil ironic because im not really any of those things. oh well. she'll get it some day. sorry this was so bloody long... |
3,771,883 | male | 16 | indUnk | Sagittarius | 02,August,2004 | i think its amazing how music can completely alter ones mood... last night i was listening to the requiem for a dream main theme, and though it is beautiful, it is quite sad, and i was depressed for the first time in a really long time last night, and, as opposed to carying over into the next day, (as my music listening tendancies usually do) i woke up this morning with the relazation that, i was really happy! no actually i just needed to practice the piano really bad because my piano teacher was going to be here in 20 minutes... but the song i was playing is just so beautiful, its a theme from amelie: Comptine D'un Autre Été: L'après Midi, and this song is georgeous, ah the whole amelie soundtrack, though musically challenging, is so beautiful i just cant stand it and it was at THIS point i realized that most of the depression i feel is rather self inflicted, sometimes inspired by depressing music, OR music that has bad connatations to it. now, the requiem for a dream soundtrack has lovely connatations tied along with it but the song is just too damn sad to listen to as often as i was... with my sensitive psyche... it just wasnt a good thing for me to do, and it spoiled my wonderful afternoon, ah.. c'est la vie i suppose (my french speling is SO BAD) and its all good now i guess, im glad i feel better, last night was... haha rather dismal. people were there for me though so thats enough to make anyone feel great regardless of self inflicted depression or otherwise, and im glad i have the people i do... thanks guys. **sniff** |

3,560,318 | female | 13 | Student | Virgo | 13,June,2004 | i dont even know where to start but i feel like i just need to write in here today. sorry i still dont have my last day of school thing in here but ill put it in soon. to start off, i have a cold so i feel like crap. second of all i think i know too much information for my own good. third of all, i didnt get to return 2 of my phone calls and i really need to get ahold of those people. i cant wait until highschool. then i can escape all of this. why does life have to suck so bad? maureen and i were talking today at sonrise and we realized that maybe were put into the same situations for a reason...heres whats going on. the two of us: are the only ones not trying to get a transfer to sprague. are the only ones in jazz etc. are the only ones in our tent for riot camp this year. ;-) haha and were back in the same small group, once again. its really funny if you ask me. maureen i need to talk to you. sorry i didnt call you back. i took a nap because i havent felt good today. i really want school to start. thats all i want right now. i guess ill talk to you all later.. |
3,560,318 | female | 13 | Student | Virgo | 12,June,2004 | well the night before school was out i wrote this 6 page reflection on the year because i couldent sleep because i had so much thoughts and feelings about the last day. im gonna type it all in here so you can see it because i didnt really have access to the computer at the time. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ this year was the greatest year ever. so much stuff happened in what felt like a week! im up at about 12:00am writting this because i cant sleep and i feel like i need to. its the day (night) before the last day of school and i have so many thoughts about tomorrow. im happy that summers almost here. im sad that i have to leave my friends that are going to sprague. im anxious to see if i made jazz etc at south or not. im nervous because i dont want to leave a bad impression and being nervous has a hand in being sad because i feel like i cant leave all of my friends yet. why is it so hard to go? i really cant leave yet. ive wanted this for so long. i still can remember when i was in 5th grade and i wanted to badly to go to middle school. when i started going to judson i realized that i hated it. this is confusing. i just want to stay. ive just decided that i want to make an 8th grade memory book because i feel like i need to remember this year. that would be a great summer project for me. i'll know ill still be thinking about judson. i cant belive its time to go already. as im sitting here, im thinking of all of the great things that have happened this year. fist of all, i finally got to be in musical theatre this year. it was one of the best experiences of my life to be in annie. that play was the best. after it all, i still think most of the people in my class as their characters because we made it seem that it was real. i'll never forget annie. choir is definately my favorite class. i love everything about it. it feels like we all grew really close this year and so much that it feels like were a huge 80 person family! i was also in jazz choir this year too. ive decided that i really like jazz music now because of jazz choir. we went to pleasant hill jazz festival and got 3rd place. it was fun but kind of dissapointing at the same time because only 1st and 2nd moved on to the finals. but im still grateful to have gotten 3rd. that was the firt festiavl that i had been in that we have placed at, so it was a very specail day for me. concert choir was also greta this year. we went to best in the northwest and we placed 4th. it was teh ebst because it was the first time that one of ms andersons choirs had won. we also beat crossler! :-) i am going to be in concert choir next year at south and hopefully ill be in jazz etc. thats one of the reasons why im still up right now. choir is really important to me and ill never forget it. last night was the 8th grade dance. it was one of the best times i have ever had. but it was also one of the most depressing times. it almost was like showing me a glimpse of the last day of school. happy but sad at the same time. it was so sad to see all my classmates and to think i wont see most of them for a long time. why does the school district do this to us? i dont understand how people can do this to us. its not fair. they can all go die for all i care. anyways i went to the dance with kaila, paul, daniel, ashley and bryant. paul paid like 200 dollars to rent a limo for us. hes so sweet. i had a great time with them. at the dance i got to slow dance with paul, daniel, jantsen and dan. haha dan. it was so fun. guys can be very nice sometimes. :-) i loved that dance and i wish it had never ended. everyone looked so good. they said that you dont need to dress that formal, but everyone did anyway and it was great. people that i had never seen dressed up really suprised me. like stacy, she looked BEAUTIFUL! she had a really pretty dress on and her make up looked really nice. everyone looked great and it felt almost like a family reunion. i tryed to forget the fact thta it was bascialy a farewell party. that part was the worst to think about. i seriously wish it had never ended. some random things that happened this year were: i was in the act of kindness group. we did nice things for people and projects to help others out and at the end we had a dessert party and we got certificates. i accually enjoyed health class this year. it was a great group of people and mrs. norris was a great teacher. in p.e, i got 30 on the pacer. i was so proud thatg i pushed myself that hard. i like to accomplish things that i only can dream of doing. it feels great at the end. i got passing grades in math this year. now thats suprising! today was field day and i just decided to sign yearbooks the entire time. my yearbook is getting pretty full. it was kind of sad to be signing yearbooks because it reminded me that we were leaving. and i mean, what do you say to people you have known your entire life that you have to leave? ive got most of the signatures i want but i dont think im done yet. tomorrows gonna be so much harder. well its about 1:00am now and i probably need to wrap this up. but im definately gonna write tomorrow because i never want to forget it. its gonna be awesome. i still am having trouble letting go. i cant even imagine how much im going to miss everyone. ik love everyone so much and tomorrow, saying goodbye will be so sad. i hope i dont cry because it might happen. i cant do this. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ yeah....pretty long i know. but i felt like i needed to write it. ill write my last day one later. i love you all and ill never forget you. ~alyssa kelsy~ |
3,560,318 | female | 13 | Student | Virgo | 06,June,2004 | well i thought it was about time for me to make a new one of these because ive been reading everyone elses blogs adn i miss it. so here it is. today i went to church. a half hour late, i might add. it ws fun but i wasn't there long. i came back here to my empty house. and here ive sat alone all day. can it get any worse? hope not. todays maureens birthday. happy brithday maureen. ;-) eh. school tomorrow. great. well theres only 5 more days of this torture left so i hope this week goes by fast. camp is in 2 weeks. im so excited. its gonna be great.i dont know what my tent situation is right now. last year maureen, chelsea and i were together. we said we were gonna do it again but chelseas going to colorado. dang homie. i guess its just down to me and maureen. oh well. i wish something exciting would happen. everythings been boring today. come on! someone IM me! a good t.v show should come on! maybe my mom would come home! nope. nothing yet. im gonna...well...i dont know what im gonna do now. but i need to do something before i die of boredom. *sigh* **alyssa** |
3,560,318 | female | 13 | Student | Virgo | 31,July,2004 | wow...today was a blast!!!! ahhh!!! i loved it!! first of all at like 11 or something my mom and i went to goodwill! hooray! i got a few things... then my mom took me to bridgettes at like 3 and we hung out at her house for awhile then we walked to kaiser permanente to catch the bus to go downtown. we had no idea when it was coming so we walked down there and just waited. it eventually came but it went right past us! so we were trying to run after it but we couldent catch it. so then we just gave up and just tryed walking to chads house but then we saw the bus again and i just took off running. bridgette was like 'youre not gonna make it so just stop!' but i kept running and i came up right next to it while it was stopped on a corner and he just went right across the street and then i was just like screw it but it stopped across the street so i ran across the street and came up to the bus and i said to the bus driver (while i was out of breath) 'thank you so much! *breath* my friend is still coming.' and so she came a minute later and we finally got to ride the bus. wow. that was an adventure. we got to the mall and since bridgtte had $200 she totally went on a shopping spree. lol. i bought a shirt, a skirt, and a earings and necklace set. pretty groovy huh. i cant even remember all the stuff she bought but she spent it all...lol yeah. that ws fun. then a couple hours later we walked down to the bite. it was funny on the way there we saw this really hot guy and we were staring at him and his dad saw us and he said to the guy 'i think those girls were looking at you.' it was funny. we were almost all the way down there and who do we run into? CHAD! i got to know him pretty well tonight. hes an awesome kid. we hung out with us the whole time. im glad i got to meet him. but anyways. we walked around for soo long. i saw alot of people i havent seen in forever! it was crazy! people that i accually cared about seeing were: nathan, brandon, katie, ashley, alicia...and other people. i cant remember right now because today has totally made me tired. yeah we had alot of fun...bridgette and chad are awesome. ill talk to you later.... aLySsA* |
3,560,318 | female | 13 | Student | Virgo | 30,July,2004 | wow...yesterday was really fun... i woke up at about 6:00 and got there at like 7:00. it was annoying because sarah and i couldnent find anywhere to sit so we went on the first bus and these one guy sat with this other guy so we could have our own seat. we thought it would be really bad on the bus because we didnt have any friends that close but we ended up talking to some of the people sitting around us. they were pretty nice. we finally got there like 3 hours later. it was so much fun. i had never been to an amusement pack before so it was really cool. my favoirte part was going on the green rollercoaster. i went on it 3 times (not in a row) without getting sick. they had really cool rides there but i didnt go on that many. it was really really hot so it made me tired. the food was so freaking expensive...i paid 6.74 or something for some chicken strips and fries. and like 2.72 for some sprite. i hate washington. tax is stupid. but yeah. that place was really fun..i just hope that its cooler next year. on the bus ride home sarah and i talked to the people on the bus alot more. theyre really funny. we ended up playing mafia with them a couple times. it was reallly fun. i was the mafia twice in a row and the first time brenna was peeking because sarah saw her and as soon as i tryed killing the first person she blamed me right away. that little cheater. so yeah she didnt get everyone to vote me out for awhile hah. cause no one belived her. and then when they did get me i told everyone that i thought she was cheating and that sarah saw her look and she never denied it so she must have. then the second time when i was mafia again so was she. i didnt know that you could vote the other mafia out but she got everyone to get me out. grr...then she told me that she had to do it to be safe. no she didnt!! there was still two freaking people left that she could have gotten out. i think she was just mad that i told everyone that she was cheating...hah. oh well. i got my laughs. we didnt get home until like 10:30 and then i spent the night at sarahs. yeah. fun. talk to you later. aLySsA* |
3,560,318 | female | 13 | Student | Virgo | 27,July,2004 | today was really fun. i woke up at about 12:15 and i didnt realize that i only had 45 minutes until pauls party. i had just gotten out of the shower and josh shows up at my house. he was supposed to call me sometime in the morning and he told me he felt bad for waking up at 9:30...hah. i felt bad. we were taking yesterday about not going but i decided i wanted to go so we were trying to find ways we could get there. so we called paul and everyone was freaking out because josh was over. whats the big deal? geeeez. josh is my friend. nothing more. anyways. paul said he was gonna pick us up. so they came and we headed off to the family fun center in wilsonville. the people there were: me, paul, josh, maritza and morgan. we had a fun time. i went on the rollercoaster simualter twice and felt sick. lately i havent been able to handle rides as easily. i have no clue why. but yeah. we rode on the go-carts and josh came in 1st and i came in 2nd and i dont remember the other places...but all that matters is that i wasnt last!! woo hoo! we also played laser tag. that was a blast. our team lost. it was sad. they had 120000 something and we had 90000. hah. yep. we played racing games alot too. i never was 1st but i never was last...so i cant complain. lol. yeah. then for a late lunch we went to izzys. it was very good. josh thought that i was copying him because we had alost the same thing. but thats just what i like. i guess we like the same foods. its not my fault. lol. then we headed back to pauls. paul was trying to hide some magazine from me. and whenever i talked loud about it he got mad. probably some dirty magazine. i never got to see what it was but he let josh. yeah. then we all went to walmart. it was pretty fun. we hung out for awhile. then everyone left except josh and i. we were looking at toys and stuff. it was funny. he was organizing some of the toys. lol. then he grabbed a lord of the rings action figure to buy. then we headed over to the fish and he bought be 5 goldfish, a tank that lights up, fish food and tank plant. it was so cool. the fish are awesome. yep. then we walked back to my house. and we sat there in my front yard and he was putting together his action figure. then he rode his bike home and i went in to fix up the fish stuff. yeah. i got it all set up and cleaned my room some more.

3,560,318 | female | 13 | Student | Virgo | 23,July,2004 | today i had mixed feelings... i woke up at about 10 and my mom and i were supposed to go to the mall. it ended up being about 12:20 and shes like, 'we'll leave at 12:30!' so i was all ready and exctied when george asks if we wanna go to walmart with him. so we were gonn a go and my mom asks him if he could stop by our house and look at our gutters because something was wrong. george took it the wrong way and thought she asked him to fix them and he got all defensive and was like, 'its over 100 degrees and ive got the day off, im not gonna fix them today.' and they got in a huge fight just because he heard wrong. it eventually turned into my mom packing up everything she had over there and bringing it home. i dont know if that means that they broke up, but i overheard her talking to someone on the phone and she said that she still wants to be with him but he treats her like she dosent exist. so yeah. i didnt get to go shopping...hah. but when i got home i was calling people and i eventually got ahold of maritza and now im here. we went to mervyns and got her a second choice of bed stuff. this ones really pretty. its purple and pink and looks all shiny and royal. reminds me of an indian princess bed. i love it. the first one she had was purple, blue and green squares. but we found out that morgan already has it...oh well. i like the new ones better anyway. well...tomorrow maritza and i are going to the outlets. ~ A l y s s a~ |
3,560,318 | female | 13 | Student | Virgo | 21,July,2004 | well.... let me start with yesterday...(wednesday) wednesday-one of the worst days of my entire summer. ahh. it sucked so bad. i wont go into details but just trust me. the only fun things i got to do were go to maureens for like a half hour or so and then we walked to riot. riot was pretty fun last night. then after riot k-lo and i spent the night at c-lo's house. haha...c-lo, k-lo, a-lo....i love it. we stayed up untill like 4 and guess what..? i accually stayed up as long as everyone else this time. because you know how i am... anyways. the mountain dew helped. alot. thursday(which would be today...)-we woke up at 9:30 to go swimming at her grandmas pool. ah. that was really early, but for some reason i got out of bed faster than i thought i would. we went there at like 10. it was really fun. there was these girls there that we thought kept staring at us. it was kinda weird. but yeah..for lunch her grandma made us some burgers and they were good. we went back to coris later on. they tryed to put together a slip and slide. i sprayed with the hose the whole time because i didnt wanna do it. it was pretty funny watching them..hah. it was so freaking hot today. it got up to like 98 i heard. i kept watching this online temperature thing and i kept updating everyone as it got hotter. ha. i thought it was funny because it wasnt supposed to be that hot today and all of a sudden its just too hot to even be outside. i cant imagine what tomorrows gonna be like. its supposed to be 102. ahh great. its probably gonna be more because they didnt know that it was gonna be that hot today so...hey you never know. oh yeah. i almost forgot about the highlight of the night . yeah so cori asked her mom if she could bring home chinese food for dinner and she said yeah so were just all waiting and she comes home and was getting really frustrated because cori and erika didnt do their chores and they were fighting over who was supposed to do what so coris mom starts getting really mad that them so kelsey and i went into coris room to get out of it all and then all of a sudden we hear coris mom yelling really loud at cori..cussing and telling her shes gonna have a peanut butter sandwich instead of chinese for dinner. it was scary. i had never seen her mom ever get that mad. then cori comes back to her room and shes in there for maybe 2 seconds and her mom comes banging on the door. wow. it was loud and i thought she was gonna break the door down. and then she opens the door, points to kelsey and says, 'you! go home!' points to me and says,'alyssa! go to kelseys and then your mom can pick you up from there!' so while were still a little frightened we packing up and her mom comes back with the big bag of chinese food. and she gives it to kelsey for the two of us to eat at her house. i felt so bad for cori. ahh. it was horrible. so kelsey and i walked to her house and ate chinese food. it was good, but it made me think of cori. my fortune cookie said that a guy with blue eyes will like me. and kelseys said she was gonna be very smart. hmm. then my mom was supposed to come at 7 but she was a half hour late but while we were waiting we watched degrassi and some other shows. yep. then i went to old navy while my mom stayed in the car. (i needed to get 2 pairs of flip flops) and so i go in and they have this huge rack of white flip flops . i was like 'yes!' then i was looking around for some black ones and i realized they didnt have that great of a selection anymore so i asked one of the people that worked there and they told me to talk to the person at the counter so i did and she said that i could get them but they will ship them to my house within 7-10 days so i was like alright i want my flip flops! so yeah i had to talk to this person on the phone and give her all my info and while im talking to he ri can see my mom waiting in the car outside with a really mad look on her face. then i also realized i was $2 short because maureen told me that the flip flops are always 2 for $5. the lady told me that sale was over weeks ago. lol oh well. so i ran out to the car. my moms getting pissed and i asked for $2 and she was like, 'YOURE TAKING ALL MY MONEY!' so i just took it and walked away. ha. anyways. now i have my white flip flops . yay. but yeah. so i have to spend the night here at georges again. oh well. i get to go shopping tomorrow. thats basicly the only reason why i have any desire to be here right now. lol. i guess today was... alright...i guess. :-D yeah. well its probably a good idea if i leave now. so ill see you later!!!!! love ya! a lys sa :- * |

The loss of innosence the loss of life Joy now filled with grief, we ask ourselves why No reason, no cause, no justification to be done Things that have happened should never need to be spoken The people who knew you remember the laughter that is now silent With your name now comes a smile that can never be broken As they remember the times that have been They also mourn for the times that now can not be Sorrow for the dreams that can not be lived But with the consolation that they have been dreamted And with the memories that can never be forgotten We find hope in the furture as we remember the past i thought that was a good poem to think about today. i still cannot belive this... why, why, why? today was alright....but i had him on my mind the entire time. today was pretty hard for me. i tryed to hide it. but i still thought about what was going on. everyones mood was different today. more sad than normal. nothing seemed good.this is unbelivable... * R.I.P Austin Hakes * |

3,548,961 | male | 15 | Student | Taurus | 15,June,2004 | well, i haven't wrote in 3 whole days, feels like an eternity don't it? how did you poor people get along without the devine daily story of my life? Well, i didn't have much to talk about, i actually don't think i did anything either of those days so you didn't miss much so heres the story of my day today since it was fun filled and exciting. i awoke and came down and got on my laptop as i usualy do, i talked for a while, nothing significant but it sustained my attention for a while. i played soccer today after brian woke up with him obviously and steve. it was good times, and incidently im getting good at pks. i can win contests almost every time so yay for me. after that i came back to my house and i had one of the most horifying food experiences ever. seriously. i was eating grapes and there was something on my finger so i looked down. it was a spider so flicked it off and looked at the grapes, there was spider nest in the grapes. I freaked out, oh man, i ran to the sink and gagged myself until i ralphed, twice. it wasn't cool. I go to california on saturday, i know you'll miss me teribly and all but don't you cry, i'll be back in two weeks and then i'll come surfin back singin the beach boys with a tubular tan and a bodacious babe. good stuff eh? well uh, thats it, tell me if you want me to send you a california post card or anything of the sort. love always, -alex |
3,548,961 | male | 15 | Student | Taurus | 12,June,2004 | haven't written in a while, sorry, i have a good one this time, sure to please the masses...or atleast alyssa and brian, you are the only masses who read this. Well, i played soccer agin yesterday it was happy times. I did pretty well actually, i didn't loose nearly as much as i thought i would.i started slow, took acouple easy shots and chipped some balls but progresed and got back into ripping shots. not as fast as i used to get them but hey, its the first time i've played in 6 weeks so im proud of myself. I also played alittle goal and while im out of condition and form, my reactions haven't dulled and i was able to save a few. i still have to train like mad because although i wasn't as bad as i thought i would be, i still need alot of work. After a wearing day of soccer, i went to punkinhead's aka brians house. it was good times aswell except i drank too much mountain dew and ate too much chocolate and we ended up staying up until 5 in the morning. kindof late yes but we slep till 2 this afternoon so needless to say we made up for it. It rained all day today so me and bri listened to blind melon and watched newly weds. sorta a dumb show but its ok. We then went to soccer premeire and looked at cleats. I tried some ouma kings on and realized I WANT THEM. trying them on made me see myself in those cleats even more. i want them SO bad its crazy. Tomorow me and bri have more soccer planed...well watching it anyway, U.S vs Granada world cup qualifying. cool doritos huh? Well, thats it for tonight, good night night. love always -alex |
3,548,961 | male | 15 | Student | Taurus | 10,June,2004 | yes, today was my first FULL day without a cast, my second REAL shower and tomorow i get to PLAY SOCCER tomorow. so yeah, good stuff, life is getting back to normal. Well, im not bidding on any cleats, im not watching any games besides the ones i talked about last night, theres just not much to talk about in the soccer world, this is a first for me. uh, i get to play tomorow with brb also known as brian robert bouhl. so uh, yey for me. theres just not much to say other than the things that have been said, wow. nothing really new. maybe im just boring right now i don't know, i usualy have more to say. sorry for you who read this but i don't know what to say, maybe you should make something cool happen so i can write about...maybe. sorry and ofcourse love always -alex |
3,548,961 | male | 15 | Student | Taurus | 09,June,2004 | yup, today was the day. im cripple free. man it feels weird, my foot is like totaly alien to me. i look at it and im excited its back but with the mixture of it changing in the cast and not seeing it for ever, it doesn't even look like its a part of me. my foot and leg lost alot of muscle (yes you do have alot of muscle in your foot) and so they both look skinny and weird. also it is white and sort of harry and crusty and eww. see? alien foot. incidently, i took a shower and everything and it looks better than it did when i first got the cast off...plus it doesn't stink. it hurts still allittle but i think thats cause its just stiff. well, i have good news and bad news in the world of alex's soccer, bad first. I didn't win my cleats, AGAIN. not cool i know but i think im just gonna get some when i get back from cali. incidently i bid on some indoors that i think are cool but brian doesn't. i don't care what he thinks, i like them. Alright, now to the good news...IM GOING TO THE BAYERN MUNCHEN and MANCHESTER UTD GAME. brian got tickets, they are in the nosebleeds ofcourse but hey, they were 40 bucks, the only good ones left were 150 so i think we did alright thank you very much. anyway, this is the chance of a lifetime, its gonna be great. Also im excited about a couplng of upcoming games in the very near future. This sunday is going to be a day to remember on the internation level...atleast for brian and i. the U.S./Granada game is on at 1 p.m. so GO U.S. (thats world cup quals...big stuff) and then at 2:45 p.m. (directly after the first game) its gonna be england vs. france...going to be a brilliant game. i think im for france though but im still undecided. anyway, that'll be big too. Well thats my life as it is right now, for those who do, thanks for reading, night night. love always -alex |
3,548,961 | male | 15 | Student | Taurus | 08,June,2004 | yeah, i get my cast off real soon now...in a couple hours. I'm so excited, it feels like christmas eve, seriously, thats how bad this thing was. it feels like i've been in prison for the last six weeks, even though i can walk on the cast, it still feels like a handicap. Also, it wasn't as bad anymore but now that im not really hurt anymore, it just feels big and doofy and anoying. anyway, for those who read this and enrich they're life by reading mine, im n=sorry i didn't post an entry yesterday, i didn't have much to write about and honestly i din't really feel like writing anything. incidently i think brian is the only one who reads these anyway, so i don't feel like i disapointed the masses or anything. Well, now on the the soccer stuff (you knew it was coming) i have some new cleats that im obsessed with on ebay, they are white puma kings. I nor any of my friends have had puma cleats before so im not sure if you are good, i hope they are, they look like it anyway. plus, i love my puma shoes, they are the most comfy shoes ever so hopefully the cleats will be the same. also, i found my dream cleats. they were champagne puma Ksl's size 10.5, my perfect size. sound perfect right? (not that you would know but they are, take my word for it) i want them so bad but there is a problem, i found them on the united kingdom ebay site and the seller told me upon contact that he will not ship to the u.s. its ok though, i can settle for the ones that i am going to order, i mean its not like these are exactly mediocre cleats anyway. Wish me luck this time, i guess i didn't have enough last time. i hope it works. Also, hannah wilkinson got her opperation on her wisdom teath, she seems to be in good shape though but everyone should tell her they love her. that always makes people feel good. Alright well thats it for tonight. love always -alex p.s. i think i found a way to fix the clock on the time posted thing, thank you brian |
3,548,961 | male | 15 | Student | Taurus | 07,June,2004 | you know how soo many times before, you've sen a penny laying on the floor or in he street unattended but you don't bother to pick it up. A penny? how insignificant, it barely matters. well, in my case, i matterd alot today. The cleats i've been telling you about, yeah, they ended today and i lost the auction by a penny at the last 2 minutes. 1 damn cent more or less determined my happyness for right now. its not meant to be? maybe but i don't really care right now. eve if i wasn't meant to have them, if i got them, i would have been happy and thats all there is to it. something doesn have to be matched up to you but if it makes you happy than you shouldn't care. whatever, i already wrote an entry earlier, i just wanted to write this one to blow off some steam by the way, the times are behind about 4 hours on the entrys, i don't know why. love always -alex |
3,548,961 | male | 15 | Student | Taurus | 06,June,2004 | yeah, well i got my grades. needless to say, no one was happy. i got 4 c's and i don't understand why. i thought i had 2 but i got c's in both of my art majors. i can't belive that, that makes me so mad cause unless i missed something, those were totaly undeserved. anyway, my parents didn't scream and ground me, they are doing the whole long term punishment thing. you know, like if we ever get in a fight or anything they'll use that as something to be mad about. Also i just asked for some new shoes and i was told that i wasn't really gonna get anything from them for a while. Yeah, that sucks cause i was banking on getting some new gloves and a new goalie jersey from them for manual season and now im not too sure. Anyway, now to the happy stuff, im gonna get my cast off on wednesday morning so ofcourse im gonna play soccer that day. if you are one of my soccer friends, were gonna play, my schedul is gonna be full of soccer. im gonna have to train SOOO hard if i want to make manual. i have 4 weeks. so im even gonna be training when im in california. Incidently i have 8 hours left on the cleats auction and im still winning although some dude kept trying to outbid me and jacked my price up to 45 dollars but its ok, im still getting 140$ cleats for real cheap. I also learned kelme leather conditioner comes with it which i have been wanting, i need to condition my predators. well ok, thats my life thus far, not much else to say. love always -alex |
3,548,961 | male | 15 | Student | Taurus | 05,June,2004 | Im sorta sad right now, Alyssa can't come over like i have had planed for a while so im left with nothing to do. thats not cool. Also, REPORT CARDS come out today. i haven't gotten my mail yet but im scared. i know its not too bad, i mean i didn't get any d's or u's or anything but i think i have two c's. I know thats sorta weak to be scared about but i honestly don't know how my parents will react. Any way, no ones bid on the cleats still which is real cool. they only have a day and 8 hours left so i could win them. that would be good. Incidently with the whole soccer thing...my teams last game today we lost 5-0. sortof tops off the season though considering we didn't diserve any more. for those who didn't know, my team wasn't very great and being captain and everything, i can honestly say my team we didn't deserve much so needless to say im trying out for a different team next year. the only set back is that because i haven't been able to play in so long because of the cast, im gonna be terrible. Also im gonna be in california durring united tryouts which means i have to get special tryouts. that sorta sucks. it sucks to play infront of someone alone cause they see every mistake you make. oh man. that means im gonna have to train SUPER hard for the next couple of weeks. so yeah. i think im done for today, i can't think of anything else to write. people don't read this anyway. love always -alex |
3,548,961 | male | 15 | Student | Taurus | 05,June,2004 | hello there, i've always wanted one of these but always bee too lazy. it won't last long anyway cause usualy the people who have these just complian and for the most part i don't have too much to say thats out of the ordinary. anyway im lazy so i will just not write in it most of the time. well, i get my cast off soon which means i'll FINALY be cleared to play soccer, thats exciting. also im hopefully getting new cleats for the occasion, i bid on some on ebay but im not sure if i won or not, it ends in 2 days. incidently they are kelme master whites, the new versions, not like the one jon erickon has so they better not fall apart on me like hos did. im very excited. Also U.S beat honuras 4-0 on wednesday, that was cool and they are curently 8th in the world. (if you don't know soccer, 8th in the world is amazing for us, i mean really, i don't consider us a soccer nation and think about how many countrys there are in the world) anyway, im proud of them. Euro 2004 is starting in about a week which is exciting cause its gonna be alot of international matches...GO HOLLAND...im a netherlands fan. im pissed that im gonna miss half the tournament but its a quality reason, being in california so im not going crazy about it or anything, i'll still get to see the final. Yeah so most of the stuff in here is gonna be about soccer since as hannah wilkibean pointed out just today...im sortof a soccer dork. also, i don't have much drama in my life and im not manic depresive or anything so i don't have much else to talk about. After all of this, you may be wondering how the title of this entry relates to this whole thing, well, it does alot because there is only 4 days until i get my cast off. thats when i can play soccer again so yes, it actualy does relate very much to the rest of this. alright, well, with that explained, im very tired now and im thinking that bed is a good idea so that i don't end up falling asleep on the couch. night night. love always, -alex |
3,465,910 | female | 26 | indUnk | Aries | 28,May,2004 | Welcome to my DIY haven! Here I'll post some pics of my current and past projects, as well as general tutorials and favorite links... Plug your glue gun! Be high with the smell of good ol' Elmer's! |
3,465,910 | female | 26 | indUnk | Aries | 18,June,2004 | I made this for Arlene's birthday. It was hard for my first foray with wire bending. For this project I used a thingamajig called a, well, jig. It's basically a plate with holes, then you stick different diameter pegs in it and wrap your wire around the pegs. I haven't made a new design yet after Arlene's. Kinalyo kasi ako. I'll post pics of the jig soon. You can improvise your own with a wooden board and different diameters of nails. In detail Other materials used: Stainless steel wire from Quiapo Glass beads from Quiapo and Tutuban |
3,465,910 | female | 26 | indUnk | Aries | 12,June,2004 | I got this idea from the wonderful site that is urlLink Craftster.org ! Basically, you take a hardbound book, take out the pages, replace it with lining that you either sew or glue. Then glue everything to the book cover, add clasps or whatnot, then boom! Instant clutch bag. The link to the online tutorial isn't working anymore, but next time I find it, I'll post it here. For my variation, I used black elastic, and an old button. I glued them inside the lining for clasps. Reader's Digest condensed books cost only Php50.00 or less at a used books store, and the old ones from the 60s to the early 80s have covers with nice patterns. For my lining, I used leftover scraps of cloth which date back to my childhood. I think my mom used this cloth for pillow cases. :) I glued a length of ribbon on the cover para feminine konti. :) Inside Yes, i did use a book! |
3,465,910 | female | 26 | indUnk | Aries | 05,June,2004 | DIY doesn't have to be too perfect. I have to admit, that's my philosophy simply because I never know exactly how my projects will come out, baka may pumalpak... but who knows? Baka ok lang yung result diba? Here's an old project just to show a simple example of how to pick up the things lying around the house (well, kind of)and giving them other jobs to do. When my 2nd brother left for Singapore, he and my sis-in-law closed down their home-decor store. They left some carpet samples apparently, I just took two pieces (they had cloth binding on the edges), pierced some holes, used ribbon (with color similar to the cloth edging) and just wove the ribbon in. Ptoink, instant welcome mat for my room! |
3,465,910 | female | 26 | indUnk | Aries | 04,June,2004 | This necklace is easy to do,as in NO DUH. You'll need: 1)Ribbon clasps- Well, i'm not sure what it's called really. But it has a U shaped metal part attached to a ring. The idea is to crimp the ribbon inside the U. 2)Organze ribbon- a length that'll fit your neck, choker-style. Should be compressible enough to fit into the bead hole. I used a half-inch width ribbon. 3)Clasps- your choice. You can use lobster claps, or similar. The one used here is a ring-and-T version. 4)Jump rings- to attach clasp to the ribbon-thing clasps. It has two ends, so you can 'open' the ring. 5)Beads of your choice-Used here are glass beads bought in Quiapo. General directions: 1)Cut end of ribbon into a slant... forming a sort of improvised needle with the side seam of the ribbon. Use this end to thread the bead into the ribbon. If you have a fabric stiffener, that would be peachy, as it helps to minimize fraying. I don't have that. hehehe. 2)Thread beads in...you'll notice they keep snug all by themselves and won't move about by themselves. 3)Attach ribbon clasp things at each end of the ribbon. Place ribbon end inside the U and crimp it closed. 4)Attach jump rings to ribbon clasp things. Use a long-nose plier to open the ends and to close it back after you attach them. 5)Attach your clasps. Done! Instant gratification! Detail of clasp: |
3,465,910 | female | 26 | indUnk | Aries | 28,July,2004 | This is my first attempt on a domino necklace with a wooden domino. Living in Manila, it's hard to find crafts supplies, so I mostly end up drooling over the pictures I see over the net. Originally, I had wanted to make urlLink these using plastic/ivorine white dominoes. I scoured all the National Bookstore and SM toy center branches, coming up only with black, wooden versions. Stamping the design was out of the question. I experimented with soaking the black dominoes in bleach, just to see what would happen. The next day, it was still black, and the dominoes just warped out of shape. Thus, I used a fresh domino so I tried decoupaging it. Steps I did: First, I drilled a hole in the domino where the jump ring would go. Then I sanded the domino with a rough grit sand paper to create a slightly distressed texture. I spray painted it using antique bronze paint lying around in the house. I googled the net for some nice clip art. I have a certain fascination with vintage Chinese ads, and naturally, I picked a vintage Chinese pin-up girl clip art. |
3,465,910 | female | 26 | indUnk | Aries | 28,July,2004 | Can't really do much crafting these days... I'm in study mode! However, I have these things to look forward to: Learn how to use mom's sewing machine. Having finished task #1...sew a urlLink purse/tote bag . Use my new white plastic dominoes to make nicer domino necklaces. I finally found those elusive tiles in Chinatown. Make more urlLink wire and bead necklaces . Stencil some t-shirts urlLink Re-size old t-shirts . |
3,465,910 | female | 26 | indUnk | Aries | 28,May,2004 | Aha! The plot thickens, as meself has discovered that, well, html just doesn't cut it anymore. I have discovered a new bane that is...CSS! Editing this template is not as 'learnable' as I thought. Hmmm... *twiddles imaginary moustache* |
3,465,910 | female | 26 | indUnk | Aries | 27,May,2004 | It's been a long, long time since I've tinkered with HTML ( kala mo dating HTML expert )... that is to say, light years ago when I had my own homepage. It's so comforting to know that things haven't changed, HTML is still as confusing as ever. Did geeks plan it that way to weed out all the interlopers? Anyhow, I need to break out of this template, soon! This was the template which most appealed to me (and it looks like it, to Arlene too *bumps pwet*). Very retro polka dots! But soon, I'll need to embellish this with other gadgets... nooneenoo. Troy-troy-troy, troy-troy-troy! Watched 'Troy' last night. For those who haven't watched it... I shall sum it up in three words. Brad Pitt's Butt. Dad relished in the fact that he knew his Greek mythology well, thank you, thus providing me, my mom, and the two people seated in front of us, with a running commentary, and spoilers!!! I mean, okay... it's not like The Passion of the Christ where everyone knows what happens in the end. I honestly don't know squat about the whole Helen of Troy fiasco except for the Trojan horse thing,pero mapapanood ko naman yon sa movie diba???? But dad was happy... he waited 3 weeks to watch this ('Was Brad Pitt the one in Pearl Harbor?') I can see clearly now... Ahh... the wonders of modern tech. It has been a week since I had surgery to zap my eyes with 'La-zzzer' (*cue Dr. Evil in Austin Powers 2*). From a 600-700 plus grade... I'm down to 25 and 50 (left and right). The eye doc said they found protein deposits in my right eye, which are *tears*, incurable daw! Thus, my right will always be not as sharp as my left. However, I'm not complaining much. At last, I can finally ditch my contacts !(take that!) And those stupid bottles of solution and lubricant! (hah!) And my ultra-thin glasses... which looked thick pa rin despite of the pricy Nikon lens. It was worth it! |
3,465,910 | female | 26 | indUnk | Aries | 27,May,2004 | Hmm..this title doesn't sound good for my first post in my revived blog. I've had this blog since 2001 but somehow I lost interest. Seeing the nice revamped format of blogspot (ooh! All those endless possibilities!), and looking at Jeff's and Arlene's blogs...I thought... what the hey! First things first... trying to remember my old user name and password! Aack! Que horror! Finally I kind of remembered what it was, and I got to delete my old postings... which aren't that relevant anymore. So why Warm Blankie? A warm blanket is your comfort zone, well, mine that is. A warm blankie for Pooh's blustery day. This is where I can vent, rant, and sing praises for whatever I deem vent-able, rant-able and sing-praisable. An old friend of mine misses my old zine, Charlene's World... well, maybe I can make this an online version. We'll see. :) |
3,465,910 | female | 26 | indUnk | Aries | 30,June,2004 | Okay, I'm trying not to panic. But how can I not? In our living room there are at LEAST five big paperbags full of reviewers and other compilations of notes. That does not count the 5-inch stack of back-to-back Dental Decks (parang review cards) compilation on the sala table, yung pina-photocopy ko (worth Php 800-something), tapos pina-ring bind ko na rin. It also doesn't count the other books and reviewers in my bedroom. All of those stuff are mainly from well-meaning friends who have already taken the boards. The 1998 version of the Decks are from Sara. She placed Number 3. The 2001 version is from Jerick. Nag-place din siya. Forgot lang kung pang-ilan. Yung iba kay Janice. Top 10 din siya. Yung bulk ng mga notes were from Enggay. Number 7. If I suddenly go insane, baka ipahid ko na lang yung notes nila sa katawan ko para sakaling madapuan ako ng swerte and talino. Haynaku. Hinde. I need to start getting organized na. About 6 or 7 of us from UP are taking the December boards. Me, Jen R., Kath B., Kath S., Joannabee, Emjay, and possibly Pauline. Pressure! Pinaka-konting number of people yata kami. Gotta make 100% all-passing. We'll meet up tomorrow and set up a study plan to meet up at least once a week and study together. I've started arranging the reviewers na, eliminating the redundant ones. Nilabas ko na rin yung arsenal of highlighters ko and my number 1 pencils. May rumors daw na walang biochem this year. If that happens, uber joy!!! Lecheng Kreb's Cycle yan! July na bukas. Boards are in December. Panic! |
3,465,910 | female | 26 | indUnk | Aries | 28,June,2004 | Okay. I have a dental appointment at noon with my good friend Bok. Sniff. Because...I have cavities. Because she is a verrrry verrrry good friend, she has promised to cut the ehem, crap, and give me outright a dose of anesthesia. Last week, I had my teeth cleaned by Bok, of course, after I cleaned her teeth muna. Thus the discovery of those pesky cavities. See? Even dentists get cavities. It is very, very disconcerting to be IN the dental chair, instead of being chairside. One feels very vulnerable, cold, helpless. Yes, I'm actually quite afraid of dentists. This is where the 'sleepy juice' comes in. I'd rather take a good dose of anes, rather than twisting my stomach into knots wondering if the procedure would hurt. Doc Bok and I studied in UP using these same methods Glitter on the church grounds Saturday and Sunday was the feast of St. Peter. Where there's a feast, there's a ...fiesta. Ang dami kong nakitang Teachers of Christmas Past. Freaky...they are still teaching. Ang hardy talaga ng mga katawan nila. I had a booth with glitter tattooing. Business was okay, nabawi ko naman lahat. Had there been more people nung Saturday, I would've earned a more respectable profit. Mas madaming customers nung Sunday. The kids were really cute. We even had pre-school twins and their sister who kept coming back, till they each had two tattoos. We also had a mom, her bayaw (hmmm), and her two kids who each got tattoos. Big thank yous to Vangie, Arl, Jeff and Kikay. Sobrang helpful ninyo! Vangie and Arls were my marketing girls. Si Vangie din, very efficient bookkeeper, tallying sales, giving me updates like how much more we needed para bumawi, hahaha. Nakakatawa si Vang, nagpanic siya at one point kasi she thought she painted the PETALS on the rose tattoo GREEN. Pag tingin ko, hindi naman, I said, 'Eh mga leaves yan eh.' For a moment,na-confuse pala ni Vang kung ano ang leaves at ano ang petals. Kaya ngayon, asar-talo sakin si Vang. Tug-of-war-meets-pabitin During Saturday, there was also a Palarong Pambata on the school grounds. There was a surreal incident of the Only In The Philippines variety. During the 'pabitin' game, medyo nagkagulo ng konti. The bamboo lattice frame thingie, habang nag-aagawan na yung mga bata for prizes, fell through this kid's head. The frame was literally around his neck. I didn't actually see it happen, but from the kwentuhan alone, total weirdness. Parang Looney Tunes. Kulang na lang may brand na ACME yung frame. Sa sobrang gulo ng pabitin, which is the VERY nature of a pabitin game, the other kids didn't notice that the frame was stuck nga and they still kept tugging for prizes, pulling the kid's neck in different directions. Buti na lang the kid was okay, scratched up lang siguro ng konti. But I'm sure he won't play pabitin again. Ever. Cute product name alert Name for a nachos stand at the fiesta bazaar: Catacotacos |
3,465,910 | female | 26 | indUnk | Aries | 26,June,2004 | Last night, decked out in a party outfit, I was looking for some shoes in the shoe rack when my father took a look at me and said: 'You're a metrosexual. ' Take note, these are English subtitles. The audio is Hokkien, except for the M-word. (I think I watched one DVD too many). That same moment, my dad was ready to go to a different party,clad in a lilac-colored barong Tagalog and his two year-old, kiwi-polished-without-fail-Florsheims. I said, 'Pa-aaa (with the intonation of a daughter mildly exasperated with her dad), do you know what metrosexual actually means???' 'Doesn't it mean to be modern and well-dressed?' dad went. So I tried to explain to him what the term was. I have to admit, that term has been pretty much abused within the past year and a half. Botox-ing Albert Martinez is metrosexual. If Dolphy slathered on face cream he'd be metrosexual too. Or Maurice Arcache. I just hope dad didn't talk about his 'metrosexual' daughter at the party. |
3,465,910 | female | 26 | indUnk | Aries | 22,June,2004 | ...when there's Dunkin' Donuts around! Drinking Dunkin' Donuts coffee has made me realize how the youth has been wasting precious dinero on image-conscious coffee. Was in Powerplant yesterday, waiting to get picked up. By my mom (you ha, ano iniisip mo). Medyo dizzy ako from my eye-doc appointment...they put eye-drops in my eyes to make my pupils dilate and I was still reeling from the after effects. I had been to the bookstore, to True Value... I just wanted to sit down and have cheap coffee. Out of school youth na kasi ako. I spy the D.D. near True Value and I order a cuppa. A small cup (equivalent to a Starbuko short) is Php22. A medium cuppa...is worth Php28! And, for an additional TEN PESOS, you get a shot of either hazelnut, French vanilla, Irish creme, or macadamia nut. A medium please. Of course I want a shot, ring it up, my good man. Ummmm....sarap! Heaven! |
3,465,910 | female | 26 | indUnk | Aries | 21,June,2004 | Prior to last Saturday, I invited Vang, Arlene, Jepoy and Jenova to go a-touring with me in Intramuros. The mission: To take 2 Chinese girls from Xiamen University, 20 and 21-years old, around Intramuros for a little tour. Only Jen ended up going (lakwatsera kasi, hahaha). Buti na lang at least she was able to go kung hindi mahihirapan talaga ako mag-translate ng stuff. The two girls, Cathy and Trellis (yes, she knows the meaning of her English name) are on practicum from Xiamen U, and are two of 80-something teachers assigned to different Tsinoy schools around the Philippines. After bribing Jen with glitter tattooing, we proceed to Paco Citizen school to pick up the girls. Only Cathy ended up going because it turned out that Trellis overslept from watching soccer till 5 AM that morning. First stop, San Agustin Church. As usual, may wedding in progress, and another wedding party waiting to go on the next hour. Next stop, Casa Manila, my favorite museum in Intramuros. Must've been there like 4 times already. Outside amongst the piedra china-lined road was a block of stone like this: Hmm...curious kami ni Jentot, kasi last 2 weeks ago pa namin nakikita yun sa Baluarte San Diego. Next, we went to the Manila Cathedral (yet with another wedding). The kocheros outside were offering to take us on a ride... with a substantial P250 fee (oops, tawad na daw to P150). We declined, and proceed to go to the National Museum. It turns out that the NaMu (naks, parang MoMa sa New York) was closed for repairs (the one with the Spolarium), and we were then directed to the new one, the renovated old Finance Building behind it. I'd have to say the museum is not of the musty, dark museum-variety you have encountered during grade-school field trips. The new NaMu is definitely one where you can bring foreign guests with pride. Medyo nahilo lang kami ni Jenova sa dami ng jars on display. Especially Chinese jars unearthed from dive sites. Si Cathy rin siguro, nadamihan sa jars. hehehe. Out in the courtyard pala was an actual igorot bahay kubo, saya! Afterwards, it was lunch time at the Orchidarium just next door. Amidst the gardens nestled the Lush Life resto. We tried the longganisa and kesong puti pizza. I am very much NOT a longganisa fan, but I had to admit this one was kinda okay. The tomato and basil pasta was still as yummy as before, and we washed it all down with dalandan shake. At 1pm we drove to Bahay Tsinoy back in Intramuros again. I made an earlier arrangement with my friend Ivan, who writes for Tulay, to give us a personal tour. Ivan was a great guide, explaining in Mandarin for Cathy everything interesting to know about Tsinoy history. Ivan, it turns out had the answer to my puzzlement about the Chinese-inscribed piedra china. They were old tombstones pala of Spanish-era Chinese. On the upper left and upper right are Chinese characters indicating what province in China did the deceased come from. Engot ko, but of course!-->I see those characters on tombstones every November 1. The piedra china were so hardy that they were used as road paving, stair steps, etc. Ivan said that the people who laid the stones probably didn't know they were grave markers. So there was a bit of controversy there about the desecration of tombstones, oh well. Ivan also brought us to the Kaisa museum (not the same as Bahay Tsinoy), and the Kaisa library, showing us this room where all the oldest volumes were kept. There was also this edition of Sun Tzu's Art of War, with painted pictures on cloth-like pages we were forbidden to touch, lest we smudge it with oily fingers. On the way home, we passed by St Peter, so bumaba na rin kami to show her the old alma mater. We went inside the church and showed Cathy our Virgin Mary statue with the Heart Evangelista eyes. We weren't able to go Fort Santiago anymore and the Rizal Shrine. We were tired, having been gone out from 9 AM to 4 PM. That's for another trip. That, and the Chinese Cemetery (Ma Mon Luk's mausoleum, anyone?), Corregidor, UST, Paco Park... |
