so we've gone through the first week of school, and i've still not had a full day of classes yet. isn't that amazing? the wonders of high school. yesterday was the st. ed's game. we lost. what else is new? the whole point of that game is to make money, because god knows it's not for the competetive action between the st. edwards' eagles and the lakewood rangers. what a match-up. no one expects anything other than the inevitable out come of a crushing defeat, and yet we still go and cheer on our team. the ever-present optimism of high school athletics. most of today was spent in my living room. just sitting there, thinking. i think i've hit the low of my happy-go lucky attitude. i don't even have a reason to be, i just am not feeling chipper as of late. it's like my soul's been taken out and taken a good lickin' from some big guy name otto, or bruno or something and then put back in. hopefully the next few weeks will put me back together, because i'm going to try and enjoy life as much as possible. i just need to remember that one can not be endlessly happy, and one needs to experience the valleys as well as the peaks. on that note, i'm going ice-skating with liz, leah julie, maybe nick etc this evening. pleasant dreams of your grandfather on viagra and no need for birth control.

so how do i spend the last night before school started? oh, that's right. at time krueger's house. doing english homework. damn the ap gods for putting five reductions in our laps for the first day of school. i got five done, even though i've only read three. that was a feat. breakfast at abbey's at ten-thirty. and then it's time to hit the books. i'll see you in the halls baby. oh yeah...or something.

how am i feeling?: argh
music: the ballad of bilbo baggins- leonard nimoy (aka spock)
so it takes an evening at my friends combined with a bacon and cheddar omlette, and conversation with abbey to make me need to vent about my woes to you online. at one point i think i jokingly called abbey a ho and she said, "no, you're a ho". and i realized that yes...i am. i am the the single biggest ho that i know, minus that i'm just a loser ho that just dates people but never really does the things that make one a ho per say. i just have dated a lot of people, and one, maybe two have had any really substance to them. like...being an actual relationship. i just become attracted to people, and cling to that for a really long time and either something happens or it doesn't, and that's that. but the thing that's worse is that at times there can be more than one person and i get all confused and lose sleep trying to figure things out and how to put my head on straight, and that usually doesn't work out either. but you know, whatever. i don't know how to change that, and if i did, i ould have already done it. so now it's too late. if you can think of anything, there's a link at the top of the blog to email me. do it. and tell me. because that would really make my life easier if i could just figure this damn thing out, because it's now really bothering me. ok. enough ranting about my petty problems. there's enough drama in this world without me adding my own to the mix. need to get stuff ready for marching band at cedar point tomorrow. goornight.

you say that we've got nothing in common
no common ground to start from
and we're falling apart
you'll say the world has come between us
but i know you just don't care
and i said, "what about breakfast at tiffany's"
she said, "i think i remember the film
and as i recall, i think, we both kinda liked it."
and i said, "well, that's the one thing we got."
i see you- the only one who knew me
and now your eyes see through me
i guess i was wrong
so what now? it's plain to see we're over
and i hate when things are over
when so much is left undone
and i said, "what about breakfast at tiffany's"
she said, "i think i remember the film
and as i recall, i think, we both kinda liked it."
and i said, "well, that's the one thing we got."
