What's up. I'm back for one more time this year to talk about how shitty it's been. The year started off with my grandpa dying at the end of January. A week later, FMX rider Jeremy Lusk died. A great way to start off the year, eh? Well as my parents and my grandma who stayed over night after visiting the hospital for a falling problem (just to add more into the year) got into bed, I went down here to the good old stress reliever to try to moto out the day seeing that I got my copy of MvA Unleashed. Well, I got on Facebook, only to see a post from Avenged Sevenfold, my favorite band. I see something about The Rev, and I looked away for a second thinking it was an album update from none other than him. Then I see that he is dead.
This year has been shitty at best. Sure it's had its high points, but those were few and far between. Many people have been lost this year that were close to my heart. My family has been having a rough year too, with medical ailments being the topic of the year for us. My dad almost died back in March, so he was one that we were able to pull back.
Back to The Rev, Jimmy was one of the coolest guys that I've ever seen. Unfortunately, I never got a chance to see him and his skills live in concert, but I've seen many videos and DVDs of him doing what he does best. I've also seen him at his funniest. He was a really cool guy, and 28 is too young for anyone like him to be taken from us. Hopefully, he has his own Little Piece of Heaven up there right now with the big guy. I thought it was almost creepy the way that worked out though. A Little Piece of Heaven was the first song that was entirely written by him and put on one of Avenged's albums. It's weird to me that the song is named that then two years later he's gone. But that's how life works I guess. As I've figured out this year, that is how it is and it really sucks.
To end, it seems that generally everyone has had a bad year, or atleast the people I know. It's been a rough one. I feel really bad for the rest of Avenged though, because they said a month ago that the new album would be darker due to them having such a shitty year. There is no way that this helps at all. I know it didn't help my year any. It's just that I felt that I was out of this dark valley and now it just becomes more and more of a walk. Check out the song Fall Back Down by Rancid. It best describes the year in my opinion. Like they say, "Don't worry bout me, I'm gonna make it alright". They also say "I've had a bad year, a lot to go through, I've been beat down knocked down, black and blue..." Those are the words that symbolize my year. All I can hope for is a good '010. I can't see how it can be much worse than this year, but tomorrow's a mystery, so we'll see. Until 2010, later party ppl.

Bro Hymn (45 minutes)
Bro Hymn is a song written by Pennywise's late bassist Jason Thirsk in honor of 3 friends killed in a car accident. The song basically gives a message that brotherhood, and how true friends are always there for one another in times of need. How does this apply to a blog post though is what you want to know. Well last night was an interesting night. Usually I would tell all that happens and in the past week, but up till about 10 pm last night, nothing else matters. Bro Hymn really spoke to me now that I have experienced what I did.
I'm not going to go into alot of detail here. All that I'm going to say is there were 5 of us at the park last night and some stuff happened and we just talked pretty seriously. It may not seem like we would have been able to or that it actually was serious talk, but it really got to me. I thought the whole drive home and I continued to do so for the next 3 hours while playing MX Unleashed.
45 minutes of my talking and I went home and felt like I did after 2 days of a deep retreat last year for school. A lot of encouraging things were said, but then there were things that I was told to keep going with, which seems like I'm dragging it on anyways. Here's the deal with the last part of that sentence real quick. The chick I've talked about before that I was feeling like I could get together with, that isn't going how I planned it. Basically, the interest has just dropped big time. I'm pretty much giving up on it. I'm outta gas here, and the urging to keep going is just me getting every last drop out of it, something I don't really want. I'd been thinking about it, but my friends last night persuaded me to tell her what the deal was. I told her that I like her but I wasn't sure if she likes me. I texted that to her and never got anything back. I can totally see already that it's time to stop just from not getting the reply back. A simple I don't like you would have been good, but I didn't even get that. It seems like this happens a lot to me. I give, give, and give, but I never receive anything in return. This is how I felt in my last relationship and this might be how the chick felt 2 years ago when I didn't get the clues. Fuck it. I'm done with it.
On the other hand, some encouraging things were said that really made me feel better. One of my buddies apoligized for giving me so much shit all the time. This is a perfect time to get this part out now. I really do let things bounce off me. I've got a tough front there, but somethings do get through and I just think about them, just like I was thinking last night. I kind of let them get to me and it hurts a bit. Not a lot, but it's like I can still feel it there. The apology really did get that stuff out of my mind.
Now you still might be wondering where Bro Hymn comes into play. There might be a bit of a hint in there somewhere, but here's the real meaning of it to me. All of us that were there last night bonded a bit. After all that was said and the seriousness of the situation, I really feel like these guys are brothers to me. Sure we've argued, we've given each other a ton of shit at times, but the truth is we all care about each other a ton. It's exactly as the song preaches. We'll always be there for each other, and nothing can stop us from being brothers. It might sound cheesy, but you know what, I sat there for 3 hours last night just thinking about this. When it hit me that the song was just like what had happened last night, it was like everything made sense. It totally goes right with what was said, whether it was meant or not.
Through all of the events that happened in that short 45 minutes, I feel rejuvenated. Everything that happened made for the most part made me feel a lot better and I can see the difference myself. I am definitely in a good mood today, even though there is going to be some more deep shit today from the looks of it. I feel that it will be a good thing, once again, though. Some more is going to be said most likely and all it can do it make the bond we have stronger.
The end of the first verse in Bro Hymn speaks out to me the most, and it always has since I had first heard it. "Brotherhood's our rule we cannot bend''. After last night, I couldn't say it much better myself.

What a fun weekend
Whats up everyone? I'm in a really good mood right now. ive got some fun stories since the other night, so lets start eh?
after Friday nights activities (mainly the dance party thing) we decided to have another one last night, so we had a rave, but we'll get to that later. saturday night not much happened. nick was out of town and jovany couldnt do anything, and me and matt couldnt get a hold of chris (probly cause i called only once) and so me and matt just went to the movies. we saw Zombieland, which might've been the best movie ive seen all year. it was so funny when it needed to be.
yesterday, though, was the best part. like i said, we had a rave. it wasnt out in the middle of a field (kinda) like normal ones would be though. we actually held it in the darkest part of longacre, which was just a grass clearing in the middle of the park. we bought glow sticks, face paint, and for some reason, which i dont understand still, matt and jovany got pacifiers. so with all of our stuff ready, we headed off to the park and started getting ready. we got our glowsticks on and then turned our raving on. we went for a full 2 hours atleast, and every second was a blast. i ended up shirtless for most of the night even though it was like 45 degrees out, and i actually drove home with no shirt on and glowsticks on my wrist and ankle. that was the most fun ive had in awhile.
today, me and my brother went to citizens park to scout out a bmx park id heard about. turns out it was 3 things: a 7' drop in, a fun box with a quarter pipe on one side and a lander on the other that was abotu 9' long, and a smaller drop in that was probly more for ending the run on, and there was a big concrete area for just flatland stuff. we just kinda looked around and it didnt look that bad. i figured i could do about everything. heres the thing though: standing on a drop in and being on a bike looking at it are two very different things. we didnt hit the big one at all, so that eliminated that. then there was the funbox, which we hit from both directions after gaining some confidence. i actually tried the last drop in, but just slid off and hit myself in the nose with the bars. overall, that was fun. i didnt do as much as i thought i would, but that was fine considering thats the first time ive ever hit up a legit park before.
so this may not seem like much, but this was honestly one of the more fun weekends ive had recently. tomorrow its back to school, but it wont be too bad like usual. i have no idea what were doing in any class, but thats fine. so until next weekend, later.

The Downfall of Us All
It's been a few days since i was on here, and after last night i feel that i have enough to write about from the past week. so lets go.
i dont remember much of last weekend other than saturday. that night i froze at the POWRi race at Belle-Claire. i had nothing else to do and it was the last race of the season, so i figured why not, lets go and have some fun. turns out it was a lot of fun. great racing like always, but there were like 5 or 6 flips. alot more than usual, but everyone was fine. in fact, during one of the heats, a mini sprint flipped, they got the guy rolled over and he came back to finish i think 3rd in the heat with only a bit of damage to his wing. it was cool to watch. after the racing was done, i hung out in the pits for awhile and then went home. i was cold and just ready to get home. they did finish the races unusually quickly though so there wasnt a rush to get back home.
the other thing that happened that was significant to me was a show i watched on FUEL TV. there was this show called Props, which followed bmx teams going on trips and just following them around as they free rode in different countries and sometimes just the US. i saw some pretty sweet stuff and i got an urge to hit some jumps or make a dirt hit. that was a really cool show though.
now lets go through the school week. i think it was tuesday i got a 100% on a math test, something that probably hasnt happened since grade school. i was really happy it happened too. i take trig, and earlier in the year, there was some stuff that was giving me trouble and my grade was an F. the quarter ends this coming week and i am in striking distance of a B. im so happy about that. thats pretty much all that happened at school that i can think of.
yesterday. heres where it gets fun. the past couple days and into yesterday afternoon, its been raining. i like to sometimes do powerslides in the rain cause the roads/parking lots are wet and its easy to do in my 2001 bone stock ford escort. me and one of my buddies met up at the park and i came in and did an awesome one. so that was all for then. we chilled there a bit then went to his house, then went to go pick up a friend from the movies. turns out though, i was picking up 3 friends at the movies, and me and my buddy who i was with were like what the fuck is this? so i just drove us around until they wanted to go back to their cars at the movie theatre. half of the lot was empty, so i figured id try to do a huge slide like the one at the park. so i look to the left, which is where the slide is heading, and i tried to find the ebrake behind the movies i had just bought that were sitting right there. its almost like fates way of saying, don't do. do i listen? of course not. i pull it and it only kicks out a bit. then i turn to the right to see a cop driving down the aisle of cars next to me. sure enough he pulls me over and all my friends are like "you seriously didnt see that?" i said "no im looking to make sure i dont hit nothing."
so this is the first time its ever happened to me. i am shaking like a leaf. if i get a ticket, im done. my dad will rip my liscense up with his bare hands. so i turn off the music i had blaring after my buddy yells at me to because i cant think straight, and the cop comes up to the window. asking if i always drive like that. "Uhh...." (Me) "sometimes?" (cop) "Yeah sometimes....rarely" then he asks what the letters FSU stand for on my back window.
lets flash back real quick like. 2nd week of high school football, and our school plays our biggest rivals from literally right down the street, Belleville West. the night before, we had a big bonfire where we got pumped up for the game and we threw some West stuff in the fire. some chicks were writing on everyones cars Beat West, or Go Althoff, and FSU. i asked one girl what it stood for. "Fuck Shit Up." apparently its the teams motto this year. theyve had a couple sucky seasons and weve lost our reputation of one of the best teams in the area. this is our comeback year.
so fast forward back to last night. the cop asks and lets do some dialogue again. "What's FSU stand for? Is it some straight edge stuff" (we got a laugh outta that one later seeing that i was dropping people off before going to meet up with my staight edge friend) (once again) "Uhhhhh...I'm not sure if i should say. I didn't write it on there though, its a school thing. Its the football teams motto" "You can say it I won't blush" "Ummmm....(insert nervous chuckles here) Freak Stuff Up." i wasnt gonna cuss in front of a cop although its not a big deal for him. "So Fuck Stuff up." "Yeah yeah."
So after that he got my liscence and insurance, and i was surprised i was able to get it out i was shaking so much, and everyone else said they saw me shaking too. so he comes back, hands me my shit and says like "drive slower" and walks off. im askin my friends "is that it?" one of em said wait till he turns off his lights and then you can go. so i did so, restarted the car, and they got out.
so we laughed about that a bit the rest of the night. after this incident, we proceeded to the park to meet up with our friend and his girl. we just chilled in his van for a bit listening to music then took it outside in the parking lot cause obviously no one was there due to the cold and wet conditions. we pretty much had a dance party out there, with mosh pits, head banging, the usual kind of stuff. it was a blast though. came home after that and barely squeezed out a win against FSU (ironically) in the Orange Bowl in NCAA Football 09. after that i watched Ghost Adventures and went to bed.
that was pretty much the most exciting parts of my past week. hope you got some laughs. later party ppl

One thing I've learned from high school...
is that you can literally almost trust no one. Rumors start spreading, other people find out about things, and shit gets blown way out of proportion. so in this one-off weekday blog post, i will tell you about why i had a bad feeling about today, and how this was one of those times where the feeling was unfortuantely right.
before we talk about today specifically though, I'm going to do a flash back here to i beleive early last year. theres this freshman chick that i notice is pretty good looking. i never really planned on asking her out or getting to know her though. i just thought she was cute. so fast forward to this past summer. i babysat my cousins all summer. they live in millstadt, which is cool because its not hard to get around from place to place. you can pretty much walk or ride a bike to where ever you need to get to in the town. basically what i got paid for during the summer was to take them to gymnastics, the park and the pool. its a pretty sweet deal. towards the middle of the summer, i notice this chick at the town pool, and she had ridden her bike there, so i figured that she was from millstadt. that was pretty much all i knew about her. her name and where she was from. thats it for the most part.
i have a very easy going personality. not hard to get along with, and i dont let many things get to my head. im one of those fortunate people that can shrug most things by. the way that i have adapted to that so well is because i am somewhat vunerable, i suppose you could say. i take alot of shit, but its usually not too big of a deal. its easy to make fun of me or stuff though, because im not the sharpest tool in the shed. im fairly smart, but im not super quick or witty.
now knowing this, lets fast forward to the past couple of weeks. for some reason my buddies have been giving me a tough time about this chick. saying that i stalk her or something like that and there gonna tell her this and that i like her, you know, the typical stuff friends in high school say at times. apparently a few of my buddies have a class with her and sit next to her, so at any point, its totally possible for them to do so.
fast forward to lunch today. they start talking about this and everyone sitting at the table is pretty much just asking me about liking her and stuff, and i keep saying its not true, but of course no one listens. its kinda funny for awhile. i feel like Drama on Fantasy Factory when they give him a tough time about things. one of my buddies pulls out his phone and starts taking pictures of me to show to her so she can see who this stalker looks like, so it seems like its happening today.
at my school, just like all schools, there is a no cell phone policy. you get seen with it out, regardless of if its on or off, emergency or not, your getting it taken away, unless your with a teacher who doesnt care. well one of the teachers that is supervising lunch catches my buddy with his phone out. she says im gonna have to take that, and hes like i cant give it to you. my grandpa is in the hospital in texas and his mom is there texting him and stuff to give updates or something like that. so the teacher is like sorry but i have to take it. after a couple minutes of begging, my buddy gives his phone up. for some reason he is pissed at me now.
why? couldnt tell ya. all i know is that he didnt want to talk to me, and he was making threats to beat the shit out of me, but thats just all bullshit. he aint gonna do nothin. i was talking to one of my buddies later about it, though, and he said that my friend with the phone was thinkin that i drew attention to the phone being out. i dont know how i couldve drawn more attention to the phone than that fact that it was 1. held up above everyones heads and 2. it flashed like a normal camera with a flash on would. i guess like its my fault though, but watever.
just a heads up real quick, i started this yesterday, but im finishing it today. so now ill continue.
today went by fairly smoothly. i was pretty quiet around my friends for the most part, and a couple of them picked up on it. i was just trying to make it through the day so i could hear as little about the whole chick incident as possible, although there were times that it got brought up by different people. my one friend i guess still thinks it was my fault for getting his phone taken away so hes not talkin to me, which is fine, cause truthfully, i dont care. i dont need to talk to him anyways. no biggie.
so the moral of this story is dont trust anyone with nothin. all of this started from me saying to one person a year ago, hey that is a good lookin girl. like most things that start with me, it snowballed into this. but like i said, its pretty much over besides the occasional taunting, but hey, shit happens. thats one of my favorite quotes ever and i stick to it. so thats it. ive gotten it off my chest. until the weekend, later party ppl

i have a very easy going personality. not hard to get along with, and i dont let many things get to my head. im one of those fortunate people that can shrug most things by. the way that i have adapted to that so well is because i am somewhat vunerable, i suppose you could say. i take alot of shit, but its usually not too big of a deal. its easy to make fun of me or stuff though, because im not the sharpest tool in the shed. im fairly smart, but im not super quick or witty.
now knowing this, lets fast forward to the past couple of weeks. for some reason my buddies have been giving me a tough time about this chick. saying that i stalk her or something like that and there gonna tell her this and that i like her, you know, the typical stuff friends in high school say at times. apparently a few of my buddies have a class with her and sit next to her, so at any point, its totally possible for them to do so.
fast forward to lunch today. they start talking about this and everyone sitting at the table is pretty much just asking me about liking her and stuff, and i keep saying its not true, but of course no one listens. its kinda funny for awhile. i feel like Drama on Fantasy Factory when they give him a tough time about things. one of my buddies pulls out his phone and starts taking pictures of me to show to her so she can see who this stalker looks like, so it seems like its happening today.
at my school, just like all schools, there is a no cell phone policy. you get seen with it out, regardless of if its on or off, emergency or not, your getting it taken away, unless your with a teacher who doesnt care. well one of the teachers that is supervising lunch catches my buddy with his phone out. she says im gonna have to take that, and hes like i cant give it to you. my grandpa is in the hospital in texas and his mom is there texting him and stuff to give updates or something like that. so the teacher is like sorry but i have to take it. after a couple minutes of begging, my buddy gives his phone up. for some reason he is pissed at me now.
why? couldnt tell ya. all i know is that he didnt want to talk to me, and he was making threats to beat the shit out of me, but thats just all bullshit. he aint gonna do nothin. i was talking to one of my buddies later about it, though, and he said that my friend with the phone was thinkin that i drew attention to the phone being out. i dont know how i couldve drawn more attention to the phone than that fact that it was 1. held up above everyones heads and 2. it flashed like a normal camera with a flash on would. i guess like its my fault though, but watever.
just a heads up real quick, i started this yesterday, but im finishing it today. so now ill continue.
today went by fairly smoothly. i was pretty quiet around my friends for the most part, and a couple of them picked up on it. i was just trying to make it through the day so i could hear as little about the whole chick incident as possible, although there were times that it got brought up by different people. my one friend i guess still thinks it was my fault for getting his phone taken away so hes not talkin to me, which is fine, cause truthfully, i dont care. i dont need to talk to him anyways. no biggie.
so the moral of this story is dont trust anyone with nothin. all of this started from me saying to one person a year ago, hey that is a good lookin girl. like most things that start with me, it snowballed into this. but like i said, its pretty much over besides the occasional taunting, but hey, shit happens. thats one of my favorite quotes ever and i stick to it. so thats it. ive gotten it off my chest. until the weekend, later party ppl

Figured now's as good as ever
I'm back after my week away. Just for the record, ill probly be doing this once a week for the time being. not much goes on to write one of these every couple of days. but in the past week, ive had alot of fun. it was homecoming week, so school didnt feel like school. everyone just goofed off and i dont remember doing much work at all, but then again i never do anyways. monday was pajama day, and i represented nascar with my dale sr. pajama pants, which i got last year for the same day, and ive only worn them two times now, once then and once last week. we had a speaker named ron white (no not the funny one, unfortunately) to tell us about abraham lincoln. apparently this dude has been doing research on lincoln for awhile now and he has been on about every big news station in the country. CNN, ABC World News, etc. he also teaches at UCLA, so this dude is hot shit. also monday, the homecoming week dodgeball tournament started, which all of the homerooms eventually played in bracket style. i didnt play till tuesday, so i just watched all the underclassmen run around.
tuesday was sports day. rocked the Metal Mulisha that day, and i got alot of what team is that and what the hell is wrong with your hat, because i have the bill flipped up, moto OG style. that day i got the first out of my homerooms game in the tourney. i ran up to get a ball for some reason at the start, got one, and nailed a chick who slid out. i was pumped up about that.
wednesday was cowboy and indian day. i was gonna dress up as a mexican, but i couldnt find one of those cloaky things, so i said screw it. i just wore my homecoming shirt that day, and honestly, thats all i really remember of wednesday.
thursday was class distinction day. i had been planning up mine for a couple years now. the seniors get to be old people, so i was gonna spray my hair and goatee gray, but i didnt search very hard and couldnt find any gray stuff. i also wanted to cut my hair into a crown, but my mom wouldnt let that happen. so basically two years of planning ended up with me wearing my homecoming shirt again. my homeroom played dodgeball again, this time if we won, wed be in the semis and wed play again right after the first game. we played a junior homeroom, and it was looking bad early. basically we had two people left, and they had a pretty good chunk left. we ended up holding on to go to over time, the people who were still in knocking all but two juniors out, making it a tie. in overtime, it came down to one person on the other side. we had both people and we just had to run the clock down, but one of my friends who was on the court threw the ball, hit the last junior, and we jumped up cheering. then we see the other kids do the same and run out to the one kid. apparently it bounced off of him, but he caught it. i was so pissed.
friday was blue and gold day, a big school spirit day. wore my crusader cru shirt, some blue and gold basketball shorts, and some blue soccer socks. (i do not condone soccer, its jsut wat i needed.) my hair was sprayed yellow, as was my goatee. that just ended up being a mess. me and jovany tried spraying each other up, and i got the most yellow not on my hair. it was a mess really. i dont know how i pulled it off so well last year. it was perfect.
so on friday we were on a half day schedule, which means classes are over at 12:30. the rest of the time was going to be spent on the homecoming day activities and pep rally. something i was really pumped up about was they brought the pudding eating contest back this year. they had it sophomore year and my team got second. i felt like we could definitaly win this time around, as we had all but one original member on the team. i found out that we were the only team that signed up though, so it was cancelled. we could either get the $3 we paid for the team back or enter the relay race. we did the latter of the two obviously. we (well I) brought the team from last (4th) to 3rd in the last leg. it was a sack race and some how i stayed up and caught my friend who was in third.
after some introductions of season sports teams, it was time for the 6 on 6 boys vs girls basketball game. i told one of the kids i went to grade school and played basketball with in 5th and 6th grade who was running it to put me down on the team, but i was half joking. he put me down on there and i was thinkin, alright this should be good.
it was, and it was a blast too. i ended up gettin a basket and made some turnovers in the first half, but i was tired as hell. i hadnt sweat that much in awhile. i forgot how tough it was to run back and forth too. it was much harder because you were constantly moving though. its not like a legit game where the ball is passed around and you stay on a side for 30 seconds. it was pretty much pass and shoot, then run back within 10 seconds, if that. it was intense. in the second half i got a breakaway, but i was afraid of something like this happening. i can dribble, but im not coordinated enough to do so and run. i dribble clumsily twice then kicked the ball out of bounds on accident. all in all, it was alot of fun. we ended up winning 13-6 over the girls.
that night was the football game. it was a pretty good game but we ended up winning 51-26. the team is now 4-1, the best since my freshman year when we were 9-2 and went to the playoffs.
last sunday we got dirt 2, and ive been having fun with that. some races are starting to frustrate me though, and it gets tough, but its still a blast. its still as much fun as the last game, but i wish they had real tracks in there. thatd make it alot cooler.
so basically, it back to school this week. not looking forward to being back in a uniform and having to act serious, but its alright. senior year and im gonna enjoy it. so thats it. ill be back next weekend. later

I'm back
Hey whats up. Im back for a full blog this time.
Not much has been going on. Just the usual. school, school, school. It really hasnt been bad this year. Well, except for trig. that hasnt been to bad, its just that im getting frustrated with what we are currently doing. its all stuff that you do on a calculator. easy, right? Wrong. we have a couple different formulas we have to know and its just confusing me. i havent been doing good on the quizzes on it up to now, and today we had a test, which i feel i did alright on. im still worried about it though. the past couple days is the first time since grade school ive really tried to understand math. im failing the class right now, but i know i can get that up. its just this stuff is tough for me to remember. ill be glad when we start something new.
this weekend is going to be good, except for the fact that i have a progress report with an F coming in the mail tomorrow. that aside though, football game tonight, which should be good, homecoming dance tomorrow night, and me and some buddies are filming a spanish project sunday afternoon. its gonna be pretty fun. also, me and the girl i like might be going to the movies tomorrow. Halloween 2 if so. thatll be a good one for this situation.
another thing that has made me happy is i went to slackers the other day for a Bloodhound Gang cd, but of course i walked out with all but that. after looking around, i found Max Payne 1 and 2, which i have been wanting to buy so i can get caught up for the 3rd one coming out this winter. id only played the 1st one back in 01 or 02, and i dint beat it or see that much of the story line. i actually beat it last night though, and im glad i finished it. im startin the second one now. i also walked out with Viva la Bam season 1. i was just telling my brother before i left to go there that i had been dying to see the scavenger hunt episode. got the whole first season for $10! i was so happy. ive been watching the episodes with cast commentary and its funny as hell. so are the deleted scenes. great stuff. so when i will get that BHG cd, god knows, but ive got enough to hold me over for now.
so thats pretty much it for the time being. i might be able to get another blog in by the end of the weekend, but we'll see. until then, later party ppl

What a day, what a life
Hey whats up ppl. feelin good today. im over the weekends events, and i actually was over it by monday, or even sunday night, considering that the cup race was really good. Jr had a hell of a car, but that last run just killed him. easily a top 5 car.
speaking of cars, i got mine back tuesday. i was thrilled to death. the wire that they found that was messin up the car was some airflow control thing or somethin like that, and besides that, they found nothing wrong. it still takes a couple turns of the key to get it started up, but ill take it. its not stuttering after it warms up, so im good with it.
as you can probably tell, my mood is way better. the past couple days have been good to me. monday we were off (obviously) for labor day, and not much happend, so i was bored then, but i was able to hold myself over. tuesday was pretty good. like i alredy mentioned, i got my car back, and school went by fine. wednesday, my dad took my brother to drivers ed, so i got to sleep in, which i was happy about. slept like a baby. got to school, had like 4 tests, but they were all pretty easy. there were free hot dogs at lunch (turns out they were free cause they were left over from last thursdays bonfire) and i debated too long from my front of the line spot in the lunch line, but my buddy marcus said hed hold my spot to get one. i ran over and did so, getting the last one and half of the bun. right after that, we had a sub in spanish, but me and some buddies went to the college fair thing. i didnt plan on going, but i actually got alot of helpful stuff out of it. saw some cool colleges, but theres no way that 1. we can afford the majority of them, 2. i have the grades for the majority of them, and 3. there all too far away, so my mom wouldnt let me go to them. i really want to go to carbondale, but my mom wants me to go to edwardsville so i can live at home. shes scared of what ill do to myself (tattoos primarily). yesterday was alright. had to lift in PE and we did abs. honestly, i thought i was gonna be hurtin today, but im not feelin it too badly.
wat i am feeling is my knee. me, matt, chris, and jojo were at the park last night and we were playin catch with the football on the sand volleyball court, and guess which dumbshit dives and lands knee first in the sand? o wait. me. so that started bleeding pretty good, got that cleaned up using haggard ass park bathroom water and i had to use toilet paper, seeing that they dont have paper towels, followed up by the towel i use to get water off my car windows in the mornings thats been chillin in my dirty trunk. im gonna get my leg cut off. this thing has to be infected.
but on to more yesterday, we went to matts house for awhile and watched big brother, which was pretty cool, and then brice came over. he picks up matts gee-tar and starts strummin. this led to the reincarnation of the to be renamed Pizza Roles. today they plan on recording a bit and im gonna watch that happen.
so one of the more significant things that happened yesterday was i got the girl i likes number. thats right. i was surprised too. hopefully we'll get to hang out soon. i really want to get together with her. im kinda proud of myself though. ive never done that before. with the other two chicks i went out with, the first i alredy had her number, and the second called me after finding out my number, so ive never had to do it before. i almost skipped out on it, but then i told myself to man up and do it cause i know id be pissed about it later, which i wouldve been.
so overall, the past week has been pretty good to me. definitely in a big mood change from about this time last week. football team plays mascoutah tonite at home, so im ready for that. today should be pretty good. alright. ill see yall later

Sick and tired of being sick and tired
i was listening to the Getting Away with Murder CD from Papa Roach and this came on, and i realized thats the perfect way to describe this weekend. it really feels to me that ive been in a slump since friday. like i said in the last post, everything was going smoothly until i got out of school. go figure.
heres an update on the car. we got a call yesterday from the dude who was looking at it, and he said that there was some wire that they couldnt get around, because everytime they touched it or it got moved around, it killed the engine. basically what the guy said was that it was a factory part and they could get it tuesday (seeing that monday is labor day and everythings closed today and tomorrow), but even when they fix that, theyre not sure if its gonna be the only problem or if theres more. so right now, they cant tell us anything other than that. no estimate, no timeline on when the thing should be out, nothing. i really want my car back, and right now, thats probably one of the things i need to get a bit happier.
speaking of not being happy, for some reason i called the chick that im tryin to avoid up last night. someone asked where she was at and i said i dont know. for some reason i opened up my phone and called her, which i shouldnt have done. now she wants to hang out with us. i really need to start talking to people about the situation so they know wats going on. i cant keep it bottled up much longer.
i did tell Matt about the girl that im trying to get, though, considering hes one of the people i trust the most. it may seem odd if any of my friends read this, but its true, i suppose. me and her talked a bit at the game the other night, and it was cool. im going to get her number this week and try to hang out with her over the weekend if possible. i really do like her, and thats probably the biggest thing on my mind right now. i plan on maybe asking her out soon, but i want to spend some time with her and see how things go first. it should work though. if she still likes me almost 2 years after i first picked up on it, its obviously a really big thing she has for me.
i really want to get out of this slump. friday just sucked all the life out of me. i was glad to hang out with people last night, but it got a lil outta control with all the crazies that showed up. i want this to be over, but like i said, somethings are probably going to have to happen first. so im gonna end here for today, because i feel that i have said pretty much all that i can think of that i needed to get off my mind. gonna watch some King of Queens now, so hopefully Kevin James can cheer me up a bit, but im doubting it. later party ppls

this is gonna be a longer one
Hey whats up. its been a few days, but its not like anyone is readin this so no biggie right? So heres wats happened the past couple days. its been interesting at best. rollercoaster ride, to be totally honest.
the majority of everything started i think tuesday or wendsday. my grandma usually walks on some mornings with one of her neighbors, and i guess it was wensday morning, her neighbor said she couldnt get a hold of my grandma. so i was freakin out about that a little bit, because my dad said he tried calling the night before and she didnt answer, which is very strange. so i was alredy not in a great mood because it was wensday, which is a late day at school, and i had to be up at normal time to get my brother to drivers ed. so my dad said that he was gonna go over to her house and see wat was up, and i left for school.
so im mad and worried, etc, but the school day goes by alright. we get home and my dad says that grandma wasnt at the house, so he started calling around to the local hospitals to see if she was there. turns out she had a pain in her side, called 911, and was at the hospital for a day or so before we even found out (on our own) that she was there. turns out that she has something wrong with her kidney, but shes gonna be fine.
so its after school still and im tryin to do a bit of homework (gasp) and the phone rings. my dad answers it thinkin its the hospital about info on my grandma, which at the time, we had very little of. its my brothers science teacher saying that he didnt turn in the first 2 assignments of the year, and he has 2 zeros. i laughed a little, cause not even i have done that before. wat was interesting though was hearing the yelling at my brother, considering its usually me getting the speech. this is honestly the first time ive ever heard it without it being aimed at me, and i was callin some parts out in my head. so he got chewed out, and it was pretty sweet.
so now i head to the bathroom. my moms just walking in and the phone rings. dad answers it and its my other grandma (moms side), who he hasnt had the best relationship with. she calls and asks if im there, and dad dint know where i was, so he said no, and she asked wen i was getting home, and apparently he hung up on her, which is a common move by her on him. mom looks at the caller ID and my grandma called from the other hospital here in town. so mom calls the hospital, and turns out my grandma took herself to the ER this morning because of her leg lookin not right. turns out she had an infected leg. (shes home and fine now btw). so mom was gonna go with dad to see his mom, but instead mom went over to the ER to checkout her mom.
me and dad left to go to the hospital to see his mom. this is where it gets good. i asked wat grandma called for, he tells me then says that he hung up on her. i flipped shit. he saw on the caller ID it was from a hospital, and he hangs up any. i seriously yelled at him more than i have in my life. he says thats wat she gets for hanging up on him all the time, and im like, seriously dad? youre gonna hang up on someone calling from a hospital??? what is wrong with you??? i turned up the radio loud and he shut up until he wanted it turned down, which i barely did, then he asked again, and i was tired of it so i turned it back off. i was pissed. dint talk to him for 30 minutes.
we got to the hospital, visited my grandma for a bit, then headed back to the car. the thing wouldnt start. surprise surprise. after a few tries it gets going, but this was enough to just put me over the top. i was frustrated over all that was going on and i was just drained. the only good thing that came out of wednesday was that my new DVS's came. they are bad ass.
thursday was a good day, we had a bonfire to get pumped up for last nights game (which i will discuss shortly), and that was fun. we were supposed to burn an effigy, if you will, of a west person, but some kids from there got pics of it during the day, showed the principal, who called ours and said please take it down, which he did so that he didnt catch any flak for it. that was the only downer of the night though.
and friday. the day that was going so well, and then went to hell so quickly. school was going well. too well. everyone was pumped up for the game, and the day was pretty easy. hell, i even did a good job in volleyball in PE. i decided to go see my grandma with the leg thing after school, so we went up the street to the hospital, and ask where shes at. they say that she got discharged, which surprised me because my mom made it sound like she was gonna be there a couple days. so instead, we just went over to her house, and like always, the errands had to be done, of course, through me. now i dont necessarily mind helping, its just that i dont like that everytime i go over just to get something or say hi for a second, something has to be done, i have to go somewhere for her, or she wants to eat out and i need to go get it for her. shes totally capable of doing it, shes just a lil lazy. so she wants me to get a prescription at target for her and she wants some white castle. she gives me a check for the pills and $20 for white castle. i get the pills, no biggie, and i go across the street to white castle. i sit in line for like 10 minutes, and my car goes off on its own twice. typical. i get close to the window, so i go to get the money, and its gone. somehow it fell out of my pocket. AWESOME!! so i call her to bring money and im just in a bad mood now. i sat inside and waited for her, she came, i paid, and went back to her house. chilled there for a bit, then went to go home to get ready for the game. car wont start. this time, it was gonna need a jump. i took her car back home, got in the shower, and then headed to autozone for jumper cables. $20 gone there. so theres another $20 just blown away, because i forgot, we put some in my car alredy, i found out later. we get to her house and i jump it and get going. headed to the game, we got crushed, which was sad, but i saw my buddy chris for the first time since october, and we chilled for most of the game. heres the thing. i lost another $20. somehow, it floated out of my pocket AGAIN. im really pissed when i find this out in the taco bell drive thru. ended up ditchin half my order and paid in quarters and dimes.
went to the park after that, and i needed to jump the car again. im just ready to get home and put an end to this shitty day, which i did. my dad says that in the morning my moms gonna go with me to get my car fixed, and im like thank god.
so its saturday morning now, and my cars been in the shop since like 730. we have no idea wats wrong with it, so the guys gonna call us hopefully in a couple more hours. im ready to get it fixed and hopefully ill have no more probs. so thats the end of an awsome week. wat do you think about it?

Shotgun shells and it's alright
alright. its monday. it dragged on like usual, but it wasnt too bad. got some new shoes ordered. blacked out DVS Munitions, and i imagine that theyll be here by thursday, so im pumped up about that. now lets finish this story we got going on here, eh?
so just when i thought i was done with C-A-N, as i like to call her, the myspace bitchfest (previously mentioned, kinda) started. this was a solid week of nonstop fighting on why she broke up with me, and me pointing out what she was being dramatic about, wat she made up, etc. you know. the typical rough breakup kind of stuff.
the only thing that came out of this was a loyal swear to myself to take my time with chicks from now on (which ive kept to this day, even though not much has happend), and to NEVER talk to her again, on the comp or in person. This was another funny thing though because one night i guess a couple months after the fighting had stopped, i was with nick at the mall, and we were chillin lookin off the balcony on the second floor, and i see some chicks and a couple dudes on the first floor lookin at us and pointin up, and im like, "hey, there checkin me out". we laughed and got goin again. turns out it was CAN and her friends, and i got a message on myspace a couple days later from her sayin i think i saw you at the mall the other day from her. i was like FUCK THAT and dint respond. that was the last thing ive ever heard from her. told ya ive been loyal to that swear. its actually the only thing promise/swear i think ive ever kept to this day.
so the fast forwards have been doin pretty good so far, so lets do antoher one. this one goes up to about may/the beginning of summer. im just gonna name drop here, and the first chick, sarah, tells me that her and her boyfriend broke up. im not gonna lie, i got a lil excited. i felt it was finally my chance to show her how i really felt. so i was easy at first, but then we hung out one day and it was back to old times. i asked her out, and she said she would go out with me, but (there's always a BUT in my case) she liked this other dude and they had somethin goin on. so im like alrite. backed off again for a lil while, and then we hung out another day a few weeks ago. i went full bore, fifth gear pinned, all out, balls to the wall, watever you wanna call it. i tried too hard, and i realized that it was over. i was really disappointed with myself. then i thought about it though. she has changed alot, and alot of it i dint really care for. she started drinkin a bit, and like i previously said, im presumably straight edge, so this did not work for me. i also realized that we were starting to fall apart from each other. she might've realized it, or she might not've really noticed cause she doesnt care. im not sure, but i dont care.
i really have been tryin to seperate from her a bit. has anyone seen that adam sandler movie 50 first dates (which ironically, maybe?, is a movie weve watched together countless times) where towards the end they decide that its gettin too complicated and they need to just stay away from each other? thats pretty much wats goin on right now. in the end, they get married and stuff, live happily ever after, but i really hope that we dont live hapily ever after. it sounds harsh, but i think its for the best. its definitely hard to let go of someone thats been so close to you for years, but its a decision that ive made and im committing to.
sad ending huh? well, the reality is, there are plenty of people with sad endings, and i just happen to be one of them. hopefully though, its for the better. i really hope so. i want to put everything behind me and just go with life. its gonna be tough, but i can pull it off. ive been through tougher the past 9 months.
right now though, theres a girl (notice no chick on this one, probly means i have a lot respect for her) at school like i said in another entry, that i actually hung out with sophomore year at the christmas ball, and she was thowing some hints (dam that was a long time ago. were talkin about a hail mary of a...well i forgot where i was goin with this) at the time, but i was totally clueless. as you can see, ive never been the best at relationships, so this isnt much of a surprise though. it seems like she still has a thing for me, and actually, i like her too. she seems like my kind of girl. can be hyper at times, but laidback too. as far as i know, she doesnt drink either, so thats a huge plus. i really do hope something comes of this, and im gonna try gettin her soon.
so theres the end of probly the story thats been on my mind for the longest. all i can do is go day by day, but im likin where its going. ill find something to talk about for my next post, so stay tuned and thanks for reading.

oh, what a nice day
Hey everyone, whats up? last nite was pretty sweet, and it made my weekend im thinkin, even though it was just friday. the game was really great, and we ended up winning 44-0, 3 points better than last year. west next week, so that should also be fun. after the game me and nick went up to the park and chilled with clarissa for a bit. some crazy shit was going on with ppl while me and nick were at the game, so honestly, im kinda glad i wasnt part of it.
so thats all i have to say about yesterday, but i feel like typing more. so i guess ill get my relationship stories out there.
the first relationship(s) i was in was with a chick that i have been friends with since like 2nd or 3rd grade, so she was in 3rd or 4th grade. weve always been pretty close, and in like 6th grade i asked her out, but we didnt. probably a good choice because i was too young for that shit anyways. we did end up starting to go out in i think my 8th grade year. ive always been real shy about relationship-y things (the main reason why ive only had 2 girlfriends), so not much realy happend. we hung out alot, but i dint have the balls to kiss her or anything like that. we kinda went on and off for 2 years until she started going out with a dude that was a couple years older than me. she didnt really cheat on me, just for the record, its just wen we were goin out she called one nite and was like, he asked me out and i like him, so i think im gonna go out with him for a bit, it probly wont last long like the last time. this was the second time in a couple months she had done this. the first time it lasted like a week, but wen she first told me the first time i was so upset. the second time was a whole nother story. i was in a really good mood the night she told me, so it just kinda rolled past wen she told me, and it actually surprised her i think.
so fast forward a few weeks or so, and im pissed as hell. all i can think about is how much i hate this dude. thats all i thought about for months. fast forward again a year later, in the summer. they were still going out and i was startin to get over it. (i know, a year to get over it, but it really hurt deep down). one of her friends on myspace that i dint know started talkin to me one day and we were gettin along well. long story short, we met two days later, and we decided to go out. this is the beginning of the worst decision of my life.
me and this girl, nikki, (im gonna name her cause i dont give a shit, the other chick im a lil hesitant about naming, although the ppl who read this are either gonna know wats happened or theyre not, no inbetween) started going out, like i said. she was pretty cool, but obnoxious at times, but it was alrite. i was just happy to finaly be back in a relationship. i met her family and they were pretty cool, and it turns out her dad was a nascar fan, which was really cool too. i feel that me and her really liked each other, but there was some tension between us from about the halfway point in the relationship. i was startin to figure out that really, we were two different personalities, and it wasnt working out at all. the first thing that really got to me was when id call her. we would talk almost everynight, and there was one point where she wasnt answering at all. she said that it was too late wen id call (which was like 9pm) and shed be asleep by the time id call. i was realy pissed that im tryin to keep the relationship going and that she didnt really show the same to me. it was one of those deals where i was putting way more effort into it than she cared to. another thing that didnt work was that she drank. it wasnt like she was a heavy drinker, but every now and then. i didnt like that at all. (ive never really considered myself to be straight edge, but ive been thinking about it, and i guess i am. not that i dont want to be considered that, but ive never thought about it much before.) so obviously, this was a problem. one more thing that set us apart, and ended up puttin the nail in the coffin, was her sense of humor, or really the lack of it. i find myself to be a fairly funny guy. im laughed at more than im laughed with just because i try to be funny and its not really funny, but hey, ill take it. she was one of those ppl who took jokes too seriously sometimes. i said something (jokingly) about how we should just break up. i dont remember exactly wat led me to say that, but she was pissed off at me as it was that night for previous happenings. we were at a picnic that night, and i had waited for her for an hour and a half to get there, and she and her friend were making up some bullshit excuses, so i wasnt in the mood to play around much either. i ended up leavin the picnic without really saying bye, and tht was the last time i talked to who i now refer to as Crazy Ass Nikki face to face. we had a fight over the phone later on that night, and then another one on myspace that lasted a week, and i was done at that point.
more to come later

thursday post #2
so ive finished up the intro to my blog, so now i'll continue on with a post of how sweet today was.
at school, we usually have a kickoff bbq at the beginning of the year, just to have a little fun and for transfer students and freshies to get to hang out a lil more before the grind we call the school year gets goin. this year, though, they took the bbq part out of it and made it a kickoff "event". they chopped off 6th and 7th hours from school today, and this was put in its place, opposed to staying after the halfday was over like previous years.
this "event" consisted of a couple of competitions. the first was a water balloon fight. it was pretty much bracket style without the seeds., 4 games at a time (the freshman played freshman homerooms until there was one left, the sophomores played sophomore homerooms till there was one sophomore homeroom left, etc etc.) my homeroom lost its first match, so we just watched from there. it ended up being seniors vs. freshman, and at the end of the game, no one knew who had one because there were rules broke on both sides, so after a few minutes, it was decided there would be a rematch. the seniors won (class of '010 baby!) and we were surprised by finding out that the faculty were facing us to end it all. they won (boo). the real fun was during the matches, there were empty buckets all over and the water balloons were easy to get a hold of. ppl were filling up buckets with water from the spiggot on the football field and throwing it all over each other, and balloons were being thrown at ppl and into crowds, which was funny. i was upset that i dint catch much of the action, but then one of my buddies got me with half a bucket of water.
second event was some sponge thing, but that wasnt that great and we lost that too, so not gonna talk about that at all really.
overall, today was pretty cool. the school part of the day dragged on longer than usual, especially english, but thats expected, right? like i said in my last post, tomorrow is friday and im pumped. hopefully well win the game as i havent seen a win since the 07 season. we killed the team were playin last year, but i couldnt go to the game, so i missed that. well, ill try to get an update in tomorrow before the game, so until then later

intro pt. 2
happy thursday everyone. friday is tomorrow and im stoked. first school football game of the year, and im ready to knock around some freshies in the stands.
so onto finish yesterdays post with a lil more about me, im currently single after some interesting deals. only been with 2 people in my life, one of which has been a close friend forever, and another which this close friend had hooked me up with last summer. i regret that one big time. rushed into that relationship, and well, thats a story for another blog entry. right now though, im into a chick at school, who actually liked me back at the time of me meeting girl #2 and a lil bit before, and i was totally oblivious to it and regret not noticing that as well. im hoping that things can work out in the future for us, but with my luck, god knows.
so to finish yesterdays post (again)(i get carried away sometimes, just so you all know (maybe ADD?)), this blog will probably mostly be used for me to get things off my chest like just relationship-y things or stuff that i feel like gettin out there, or another popular topic of mine, the posts i follow. you see, with the sports that i love, there are a lot of controversies that tick me off, like how people being involved in crashes at 180 mph and getting is cool (still havent really figured that one out yet), and how atheletes in things like MX and skateboarding, bmx, etc, take their share of hard hits, yet for some reason these are laughed at by America's Funniest Home Video and sports comedy show audiences. but once again, this is an argument for another blog entry.
so hopefully i can get people to read and enjoy this blog, and for those who do read it, feel free to comment on my posts and i really hope that you like reading my random shit.

intro
Alright. im brendan. if your reading this, you most likely know who I am. i post at a few different forums on "teh internetz" as some ppl say. the ones im at most are thlforums.com, motoxsports.com, and MX Gaming forums. so why say this? cause most likely the people who'll read this are from one of the above.
anyways, i guess i'll get talking a little bit about me and what im here for. im a 17 year old senior at Althoff Catholic High School from belleville, il, a fairly big section of an area surrounded by corn fields galor, about 10 minutes from st. louis missouri.
this being said, im a huge Cardinals fan and proud to live in "Baseball Heaven". im also a huge racing fan. over the past couple years, ive trasferred from being a diehard NASCAR fan to a pretty hardcore MX fan. it's funny how that worked out really. although I never followed it like i do now, i was a big mx fan as a kid. i tore it up for countless hours on various moto games on the N64, and was one of the many (and still am) that hoped to see a dirt bike in the backyard on Christmas day. NASCAR came along in 2001, and i followed it heavily, with the mx not really there at all. i caught some of the end of the outdoor season in 05, and in 06 i started watchin a little more religiously, attending my first supercross the same year. the fact that i have buddies that ride helped the moto bug get to me. the nascar part of me has slipped the past couple of years, as im finding it to be more about money than the racing, which is true in all of motorsports, but its just getting to the point where its not as fun to watch anymore. also, im a Redskins fan. go Skins!
out of the area of sports, my favorite bands right now are Avenged Sevenfold, which I have been following since about 05 i think, and a band that I actually found out originated in STL after I started listening to them, Bullets and Octane. beleive it or not, i have NEVER been to a true concert in my life, but that is gonna change as I am going to see Bullets this november when they come back to STL for the first time in quite awhile. i pretty much have to go though, due to the fact that i have been bitchin at them to get back here for months.
wow. i sure do type alot. i type more than i talk almost, which is one hell of a feat. well, i suppose thats gonna have to be all for now, but ill be back on to explain more or tell ya wat this will focus around probly tomorrow. later party ppl
