environMETAL concern

may 15, me and angie and her mom are leaving to go to boston and salem. we're gonna be there for the weekend. its going to be so mediocore. the whole weekend will be summed up in one word, "meh". it wont completely suck but we wont have a great time either. (i'm trying not to get too psyched about it because then it will end up sucking but yeah, i'm so stoked.) if anyone who reads this has ever been to that area and knows of anything fun to do, tell me.

whores dont get a second chance!

aspartame (an ingredient in diet coke) sounds like a bad name for a hardcore band.

i am so tired. and my face is so burnt. i got up around 5 this morning and went to a car show in pennsylvania with matt, his cousin, his dad, johnny, and johnny's dad. soooo many beautiful orgasmic cars. there were quite a few chevelles and camaros but i only saw 2 novas and they werent the years that i want. while we were walking around i ran into a trailor and hit my head. (just another reason why i suck at balance and avoiding running into things.) and later today i got hit in the head and the shin with a tennis ball because the ball had it in for me. oh yeah. i saw Identity on friday. it sucked balls. big ones. the ending was so weird and stupid and it still makes no sense. the last line in the movie was "whores dont get a second chance!" (hence the title) and. bah. i want my 9 dollars back.

i'm listening to tom waits. i need to go buy cds.

i almost forgot... on friday i was sitting in sixth period coloring. there's a few minutes left until school lets out. one of the administrators gets on the announcements and says "teachers, we are holding the bells until further notice. do not let any students out of the classrooms for any reason. all teachers with 6th pd planning please report to the main lobby." its then that i realize the sound of multiple helicopters coming from outside. so i'm a little uneasy, wondering what the hell is going on. a few minutes later the same adminiastrator gets on the announcements again and says "teachers we are now exercising the 'shelter in place' procedures. all teachers in the temporaries and mods please escort your students to the gym immediately." (shelter in place is a drill they started this year where all the people in temporaries and mods go to the gym in case of biochemical warfare or snipers.) so now i'm a little freaked and i'm thinking maybe WW3 has started. then a few minutes later the administrator says "this is not a terror alert. there has been an incident in the community." so two guys had robbed a bank or a starbucks or something at freestate mall, which is right by bowie high. and they shot someone. and got away. so two armed men were loose around bowie high and cops were searching the woods and everything for them. they finally let us out of school. this is the second time this year that i've walked out of school to find helicopters circling above and cops every few feet. so i was half an hour late to work and i wonder if they're going to take it out of my pay.

this boat is obviously sinking!

one of three things is happening here. either i'm very clumbsy, prone to accidents, or there is some cosmic force bent on putting me through humiliation and pain. today in tech ed i was standing in the doorway and then the door slammed shut on my hand. yesterday when i was in quiznos i ran into a sign and the guy sweeping the floor laughed at me. yesterday i was trying to imitate avril lavigne's dumb poses and i poked myself in the eye. a few nights ago i slipped on wet grass and my head smashed into matt's head. you would think by now i would have developed a high tolerance for pain, but no.

ozma's playing at the ottobar on saturday. i want to try to go.

download shit luck by modest mouse. its fun.

how we grow old, how we forget about eachother

my life it seems follows the same course as europe in the past few hundred years. there was that time of devotion to the church. those dark middle ages where cathedrals were built. the church took care of everything. but it was corrupt; there were indulgences to be paid, popes getting laid, priests who never prayed. so we turned away. we had a renaissance . emersed ourselves in art, in music, in beauty, in science. we ran from the churches and gave god the old fuck you. life was all poetry and wondering. the thing about beauty though... it exausts you. we were enlightened. locke, hobbes, and rosseau. life was reason and logic. all things frivolous were stripped and put away. life was condensed down to what matters, what works. i have no time for romance, for music, for laughter. i can feel it coming. the end to this age of enlightenment. where i go from here?
