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.
