Ouchies...head...migraine...medicine.

This weekend was...alright...

Friday, the usual HCB antics. Then practice...perks were Andy's Vampire Birthday Get Drunk Bash. An End To October and a guy from Phineas Gage came over. Scary scary!

We watched Supersize Me. This guy ate McDonald's for 30 days, breakfast lunch and dinner. Did permanent damage to his liver, gained 24 lbs and lost his dignity. rawk.

Work was Saturday...not too bad. No scars this time. I felt super bad today though...like sick...so i stayed home mostly. I went to get my check and bough Megaman Anniversary Collection...but that's about it.

I'm getting a new engine in my car because the head gasket blew. I've been really pissed off at the people though. The guy my mom knows or whatever hasn't been there throughout the course of the ordeal. So they went ahead the first time and did repairs that weren't needed. So i'm gonna definitley be getting that shaved off of my engine installation.

My parents are freaking out right now...my little brother connor has a 106 fever...pretty serious...i hope everything becomes all right.

I need to take some medicine myself...so i'm outties.

So I cook burgers...w00t.

I got to take a whole box full of popcorn chicken home tonite. The perks of being a Sonic employee.

I got some rad grease burns...YES!

I am really looking forward to the show on Sept 4. I'm anxious to hear Bring Back Edgar. This kid in the cafeteria yesterday was like "Hey, you're in that band right? Do you ever play with any bands from New Orleans?" I was like "Why, yes...soon with Bring Back Edgar." He started flippin out sayin he knew them and that his band was "gonna open up for them" in the summer....i wonder...anywhoo...he was a fan, and i was stoked. ha.

I really need a shower...so...au revoir

so i just finished up work at Sonic for the first night.

I enjoyed it. Lots of good socializing, me cookin burgers, and chicken, and bacon...who could ask for more. Days are gonna get a lot longer now. But it's not so bad. I don't work Friday so i get to go to Hattiesburg to kick it with mah runnin crew.

I enjoyed tonite. Ryan and I bonded since he was my trainer. hah. good stuff. He and I kept singin A Favor House Atlantic out loud to all's amusement. And Sublime...ha...

I still miss mah dudes though (including females).

I am happy that i'll have a job to do something...since there won't be much goin on, i won't be anxious to get off work.

Ah...life as it unfolds....

I have been told by like 3 people this week that i remind them of my dad. That really means a lot to me.

School...hmm...i'm so bored with my classes...but i guess that's a given with any student...

I got the job at Sonic. I had to call the guy as soon as i woke up this morning. So at around 6:30 this morning i rolled over and picked up the phone to call the guy...I sounded like crap. He told me to come in Saturday to pick up my uniform and stuff...i should start next week. This is a very good thing for me...A job period is, but i'm gettin paid $5.50 an hour to chill out and make food and stuff...I hear they have a good time back there too...So if you guys are ever in Picayune and want some food from Sonic...i'll try to hook you up.

I can't friggin wait for our show. I'm ready to play soooo much.

Ha...i think i'm gonna write a song to all my friends in college...I miss you guys...all of ya.

Well i might have landed that job at Sonic!

Noodles's "Carputer" is definitley excellent, except it distracts him. On the way home from Slidell, he took the bay st. louis exit by mistake. Good ride home. Lots of entertainment from that little LCD visor screen.

Things are absolutely fantabulous at the moment. This new guidance i'm riding on rocks. Situations are turning out nicely. Except i'm confused about one thing. And it's whether or not this one person was to merely open my eyes to new people...or for something i thought was intended. Time will surely tell.

Claire is my new friend.

So i was given the wisdom.

Rawk.

I was given the guidance.

Rawk, part deux.

Feeling excellent except for one or two minute details that won't be able to be fixed...so...blah. But other than that...grilled chicken sandwhiches at lunch are AWESOME BEYOND BELIEF.

So i'm outies...and remember all you Picayune area kids, come to "601" at 6:01

A lot is goin on in life.

I've been praying for wisdom. I seek God's guidance a lot. I need it.

I just want to be equipped for the passing storm. Not sure how long this storm is...or how long it has been. I'm just ready for the waves to be calm right now.

James 1:2-18

I'll be studying this on my own for a bit. I feel like this is the direction i must push forth in. Faith is a crazy thing man.

Ah...nice weekend.

Hub-City Bungalow started it off. We practiced Saturday...which went really well, considering we hadn't practiced in a while, and steve-o hasn't played drums in a month. We're tryin to gear up for the September 4th show, which should ooown. We're trying to think of new show gimmicks...if anyone thinks of something, let me know.

Today felt like a total waste. I told myself i was gonna get up for church...didn't happen. I feel terrible. And then, Daniel Pruett came over...so i skipped night service too.......i feel bad about skipping out. I really need to get motivated or tell my mom to make me. I've just fallen out of habit. And I really hate that.

I really wanted this arcade emulator to work...so far nothing has worked...

I feel good right now. Ready for the fall and for Serene Zach to come out. I like him the best. There's this feeling i get during fall. I can't describe it...i love it though...when i get there i'll try my best to describe it.

Ha...Daniel Pruett rocks. I miss that dude. I've gotta remember to call him up more.

Well...time for an awesome shower.

Today felt good.

We celebrated hong kong Sam's birthday at the Chinese Restaurant. We roamed aimlessly in the parking lot and wal-mart looking for steven for some Halo action for about 2 hours...Danny suggested we go to my place for some DDR, which we haven't played in months. So we piled up and went over there. Called Debra up to see if she wanted to hang out as well...ha...so our nerdy night began...started with DDR and then it progressed into Tetris Worlds. Rawk. We all cheelled even though i've school tomorrow...i could care less. I'll catch up on sleep there. ha.

It felt good to get out of the house today...other than school that is. If I wasn't so stupid my car wouldn't be in the condition is. It's cool. Should be getting it all fixed soon. And soon also I need to get a job. Candy sales started today which triggers a new source of income. Which is nice. Did well for first day selling. Faithful customers...ha.

I really want to bake Sam a birthday cake. Maybe Thursday or somethin...just an excuse to make a nice chocolate cake. But for now, there's fried fish and boiled shrimp to eat downstairs. rawk. God bless chocolate cake. and food.

So alas, here i am. Home, bored, nothing around...

Harold And Kumar Go To White Castle is finished downloading, so if anyone wants to come and watch it with me, you're more than welcome...company is desired.

Until then, i'm gonna try to beat Sonic 2...never been able to beat it. I think i can today...I AM the little engine that could.

Also, speaking of engines, i think i'm just gonna replace the head gasket on the car, see what happens...I start selling candy tomorrow, so that means cash flow. In addition to that however, i do need a job. I'm gonna try Pizza Hut with Duong soon. If failure, i'm gonna try Dockside...then just keep getting more desperate after that. Yay.

school...wonderful...

i'm in biblical history class learning about Islam...fun stuff...

i feel a little bit better today...i'm just totally stressed out and feel like nothing has been going right lately...i want a sandwhich...

someone take me out for dessert later...i don't usually eat dessert...but i want some...any takers?

[	music	|	Fall Out Boy - Grenade Jumper	]

I'm on some sort of string of bad luck. Nothing has been going right lately...and it's really bothering me. I'm wondering if i did something wrong...or if i'm being punished. Right now i'm looking at new engines for my car...i'm about to be out of a lot of money...i'm wondering if i should just sell it and get a new one...the thing i s I REALLY like this car a lot...and i don't know if i'll find another like it at the price that i got. garrr...

Good things of the nite: I took Debra to Osaka's...love my Japanese cuisine...and the habachi grill.

Bad things of the nite: my car crapping out on me...want to shoot it and then pull the gun on myself.

I need to shave...I need to rest...I need to stop worrying.

I got my car back safe, sound, and working. Should be good stuff.

Today my french teacher quit. Heh...she came in crying.Fun times.

I just watched some evangelion...had a nice revisit to a past moment. Felt good sitting there watching it like i did so long ago.

It's not raining...but the lightning keeps flashing, and thunder is ringing in my ears. I sit here in the nice silence of my room...i still have a lot of thoughts in my mind. Where is everyone today?...I finally get my car back and no one's out and about...something to get used to again. ah...the wind....nice gusts of it too...if anyone who reads this gets bored...call me up...even just to talk...i've nothing better.

My last "first day"...not that dramatic

analyzation of my classes:

1)French I: I'll describe it as the teacher described it,"like going to kindergarten"

2)Biblical History: I read from my Bible in here everyday...learn about some neat little snippets...hang out basically

3)Physical Science: This is a 9th grade science class...it rules

4)Art I: All I hafta do is draw stuff and copy a few notes...rawk

I'm gonna be so lazy and apathetic...but seriously...do I need to take these seriously? I'm ready to sever every thread from the school. I wanna distance myself from it. I want it to be over.

The luau rocked. Cane's my friends. Cane's. I jumped in the pool with my clothes on. I had to. This was like prolly the final large get together with everyone. It really makes me sad. It's gonna be just Noodles, Brandon, and I in our stride for something to do, someone to talk to, someone to "chill" with. Sure, some aren't that far. But i still don't have full access...i can't just go to h-burg everyday...or clinton...or even jackson,tn. Patience will come to my aid i hope. This is just another chapter in life, i know. Eventually i'll lose virtually all contact with most of them. But still...i get to be a pretty lonely guy sometimes. I love all of my friends. They mean more to me than they'll ever know about.

Off to day 2.

over and out captain.

Wow.....so senior year draws nigh.

I've got this image of me bustin in there and totally making ownage. In this "daydream" i see myself with this totally rad "everyone else sucks" attitude. Heh...i rule. But of course...in reality i'm just sorta trying to maintain a positive image...which isn't that hard. I just hope people will look up to me for guidance like in faith in God and such.

But...it's not that big of a deal....

In other news, Debra took me to see The Village. It was quite an interesting film. We both enjoyed it. She's going with me to the luau tomorrow nite...man...that thing is gonna friggin rule

well...i'll update tomorrow nite...schedule for tomorrow...school...church...luau...allllllllllday event!

so long sweet summer. I fell into you, now you're gracefully falling away...

ah...it was a good day...plenty of food.

Tomorrow...last day of my summer. I wanna end it great. but i have p&w; sound check for a little bit...7 til like 8 or 9...

Lot of thoughts rambling around right now. The fact that someone called me an emotionless zombie kinda strikes me as odd...but whatever.

maybe i'll wake up tomorrow...figure out where to begin. Maybe I won't feel so hollow...but i'm pretty sure that i'll be sleeping in...

i think i'm being ignored
