11:15AM - don't stop inspiring me...

Tonight I will fufill a dream that I have had ever since 1995 when I picked up "Tragic Kingdom"

They have been a musical stronghold for me over the past 9 years. Gwen, my inspiration, has never left me short of amazed and filled with awe. A little band that started in Orange County that has captured my heart forever.

Tonight I'm seeing No Doubt!!!!

"Closing time
Open all the doors and let you out into the world
Closing time
Turn all of the lights on over every boy and every girl
Closing time
One last call for alcohol so finish your whiskey or beer
Closing time
You don't have to go home but you can't stay here

I know who I want to take me home
I know who I want to take me home
I know who I want to take me home
Take me home

Closing time
Time for you to go out to the places you will be from
Closing time
This room won't be open till your brothers or your
sisters come
So gather up your jackets, move it to the exits
I hope you have found a friend
Closing time
Every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end"

3:20PM - I wanna banish you from whence you came but you're part of me now and I've only got myself to blame

God Bless The Darkness. They really make the world a better place and bring a smile to my face.

Last night I went to see the Yankees vs. the Orioles at Yankees Stadium with TJ. TJ is a big Orioles fan and of course, I myself am a huge New York Yankees fan. So it was the big showdown between us. We drove down there and ran into some rain, but everything cleared up and the game went through. Yankees won 6-5. I got bragging rights now.

Twista's "Overnight Celebrity" has been in my head for the past two days and all I have to say about it is that song ropes you in and makes you surrender your brain and and speech my forcing you to say, "I could make you a celb-ety ovaa niiight..."

Class Day today. Whatever. I got an award from George W. Bush. Hoaki... he's not cool but the fact that I won an award is cool. Went to Ruby Tuesday's with the guys for lunch. Good times. Baccalaureate tonight.

7:56PM - I'm chillin' on the east beach...

So finally I'm posting because I haven't had a minute to myself over the past 5 days.

Last Thursday Dev and I went to the city. Shopped at HM, Sephora, and Canal St. I bought 6 pair of earrings, a shirt, a scarf, a lipstick, and lip conditioner. Good times. Dev went so crazy with his Loui shopping. Took the train home. I had to judge talent show that night. It wasn't bad. Went to the diner afterwords. Austin had his wisdom teeth removed that day and was all drugged up on perkasets. He was a little loopy and was doing "the loopy dance". That kid is a nut.

Friday was Moira's party. Not bad, a little boring. Good food. The cops came and told us to turn down the music. It's a good thing Alex didn't jump in front of the police car because he was doing that a few times.

Saturday through today I have been working. Back at the old ticketbooth. I can't say I mind it. I get good pay, Cat is working there now, Dave is back, and Rob is back ;). So yeah... the only downside is Battly the fucking crazy old woman who now works there. It's just nuts.

Graduation is this weekend. Going to practice this morning only solidified how happy I am to be getting the fuck out of here. I chose my dorm for next year. Hopefully I'll get it.

Tomorrow I'm going to see the Yankees. Hopefully it's not canceled.
1 week till No Doubt
3 weeks and 3 days till Incubus
3 weeks and 4 days till Gay Boyfriend Day aka... Gay Pride Parade in NYC

4:17PM - I got 99 problems but a bitch ain't one... hit me

TJ called and woke me up at 12 today. He came over. We watched music videos and he too me out for lunch at Ruby Tuesdays. Sweet. Vacation is a wonderful thing. Going out later. Going to NYC tomorrow with Devin. :) We're gonna have fun together as we always do. I can't wait to go shopping with him. We're gonna go down to Canal St. to try and get some Loui, hopefully the cops don't shut things down again.

"I hope the exit is joyful and I hope never to return."
-Frida Kahlo

Today was my last day of finals. Basically, besides gradution I'm officially done with high school, and done with St. Joe's. In so many ways it feeling like this really isn't over yet. I'm sad that this chapter of my life is coming to a close. I walked to school today and thought about these four years along the way. In everyway today both felt like the first day of Freshman year and the last day of Senior year. The weather was that mix of summer yet cool that happens in both spring and fall. I wore a pink shirt like I did freshman year and was walking as I have done over the past four years. It's sad that my life is moving out of this stage but I am excited for the next stage to come. In a way St. Joe's showed me that I can survive through hell and make it out ontop. It also showed me that transition is absolutely not a bad thing. I was anxious to get out of St. Catherine's and come to St. Joe's as a freshman. Now I'm anxious to get out and go to a new St. Joe's. I'm anxious to meet new people, make new friends, learn different things, and have new experiences. I'm anxious to shed this old skin. Still I can't say there is anything I regret over these past four years. Everything that has happened to me has happened for a reason and has made me a better person. I am thankful for the good and bad of these past four years but I am finally ready for the next four.

I wrote one of the three essays for my America final tomorrow. I have just decided I don't give a fuck about the rest. I know this shit and even if I don't pass the final, which I will, I won't fail the course.

I just have absolutely no motivation at all. Tomorrow is going to suck.

6:41PM - just some thoughts

Amen to that. I've read enough history books to know that this conflict is not ending anytime soon and that on June 30th the US is just not going to "hand it over" to the Iraqi's. It's called "interim government" for a reason.

It's just like fucking Vietnam where we divided the country at the 17th parallel with the communsits in the North and the "non-communists" in the south. So then we put an American born Roman Catholic puppett into power who was hated by the people because he was Catholic cracking down on Buddhism in a predominantly Buddhist country. We promised the people of Vietnam that in 1964 there would be a "free election" between Diem from the south and Ho Chi Minh in the north and that the whole of that country would be reunited under the winner. But of course, Ho Chi Minh, the George Washington of his country, is leading in the polls and is going to get the popular vote so America cancels the elections. I bet a million dollars that if there are elections in Iraq and an Islamic fundamentalist gets the popular vote in the polls that these elections will be canceled too. Either that or the US will stuff the ballot boxes and only create more outrage. Now that my friends is democracy in action.

Iraq just like in Vietnam we grossly underestimated the opposition we would meet and the power we would need. The people kicking our ass in Iraq are guerilla fighters. They have no uniform. They attack us and fade into the background. How can we fight an enemy without a face.

The only difference is that involvement in Vietnam was the product of sound Cold War calculations. China was under communist rule, the Indonesian president was giving more rights to the communist party in Indonesia and China had just tested it's atomic bomb. American leaders feared a domino effect in third world asian countries such as Vietnam and bordering Cambodia and Laos. America feared that if these countries were to fall they would ally with China and that it would jeopardize the security of Japan and other countries of the world. So, in theory Vietnam politicians had basis for their war. Our involvement in Iraq lacks any rationale besides capitalism and revenge. Our president lied and wanted desperately to go to war in Iraq and used post 9-11 fear to mobilize a war effort. Our president tried to link Saddam to terrorists and weapons of mass destruction. Neither of these checked out. We are currently entrenched in a war we should have never been in. The people in Iraq are living in more chaos and fear then they did under Saddam's rule. Iraq is mob rule right now. It's just like Vietnam, if you drop enough bombs and kill enough people the civilians of that country become only more angered and more desperate to fight off their "liberators". I could go on and on about this... but I know that I do not want a president like this. I do not want a president who blatantly lies to his people. Just watch... if the Bush administration plays it's cards right on June 30, Bush may try to get a little peace accord started right before the election. He's gonna try to win back your votes but you bet if his ass gets elected again... young men in this country will be sitting in the deserts of Iraq dying senselessly for old men's pride.

"Then take me disappearin' through the smoke rings of my mind,
Down the foggy ruins of time, far past the frozen leaves,
The haunted, frightened trees, out to the windy beach,
Far from the twisted reach of crazy sorrow.
Yes, to dance beneath the diamond sky with one hand waving free,
Silhouetted by the sea, circled by the circus sands,
With all memory and fate driven deep beneath the waves,
Let me forget about today until tomorrow.

Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to.
Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
In the jingle jangle morning I'll come followin' you."

-Bob Dylan

These song lyrics are so beautiful. :)
