Prom
Prom was very bittersweet...
Positives and Negatives
Positives
I had a lot of fun at Afterprom and got some cool stuff (without a paddle, a bottle of Mt Dew, lots of food and something for computers that I don't know how to use but looked really flashy and hi-tech so I grabbed it off the prize table cus the only other option was a t-shirt or something lame).
The diner was bueno (pronounce it wrong if you know spanish... it gives off a better feel) and my table sucked less then I expected it too.
Walk through went quickly and the picture wasn't painful.
Clean-up and Set-up (for Juniors, of which I am... one... of... :S) went quicker then I figured it was and I hid from most work on set-up day.
And last but not least... I look darn sexy in a tux [(semi-quote to James (XanderHarris)]
Negatives
The dinner table for Prom... expanding on that. My original table had Kylen, one of my better friends at school, Chris Starkenburg, who is cool, and Travis Ten Haken, who is pretty decent, dunno him very well, though. Suddenly, during setup, they take Chris and his date off and put another girl and her b/f on my table (both of which are kinda scary to me... either in the weird way or the he might kill me) and Kylen and his date were taken off the table and instead I got Phatty (phattmasterdj) and his date... which guy-wise, woulda been fine but I like Kylen's date better then Phatty's date so it woulda been funner... What I wanted was take Travis if Phatty had to move and keep Kylen and Chris and... ok I just realized how boring that all was... my bad
Dance - no rock... all country and pop... suckiness
Sleep deprivation ensued all of this, and I believe I have re-established my Mountain Dew addiction...

Well that's about it... no new info to tell of... feel free to comment... seriously I'm sick of seeing posts from only me and Xander... THAT MEANS YOU GHOST

Oh, by the way... Ghost was my prom-date... she was decently cool and didn't expose herself at all during the night... go her.

Now I'm really leaving... stop by and leave message

UPDATE
Ok, so I haven't been on in a while... posting or otherwise... So I'll bring ya'll who actually check out my site up to speed.

I've been taking an online course that's been taking a lot of my time, and I'm nearing the end (Thank God) so I'll start studying for the essay soon.

The class is not excessively hard, but it is interesting. It is called "World Religions" and I think I'm really interested in that sort of thing.

I've bought season 1 and 2 of Angel, and season 1 of Gilmore Girls (hey, don't we all have our guilty pleasures?) so there goes my cash out my rearish area.

I made all-state speech... woot woot... in acting and it went very well.

I finished 88% of The Third Age in a week... and now I feel like a total nerd.

I toured Northwestern and am now decided (pretty much) that I will be going there when I graduate. I think I know my major... but who knows what'll happen once I get there.

uh... Music contest went well. I've been playing a lot of guitar and wrote a chorus for it. I bought a violin, but I don't know how to play it yet. I bought a 5-string bass, and I do know how to play that.

Angel... saw the final episode and was totally bummed (end the fricking series... that's all I can say).

well... those who still want info on that song... let me know... cus ya.

Prom's coming...*thumbs down*

Dialated (My Alternative...) - A song by me
Verse 1
Lord Help me live another day
when part of me just wants to give it up
and walk away - be with you - Forever...
Lord Help me have the strength I need
to stand and be the man I need to be
when I just wanna leave - let them be - Without me

(Chorus)
What good is a tear
what does it hold in the blink of an eye
it falls to the ground
what would it take
to leave the grief in the shape of that tear
but dialated
left in my eye
the final piece of a grief I can't hide
behind the hue
of a tear I can't wipe
when all I want is the tear to
come back to me and dialate

Verse 2
Lord I need you here with me with me
When all I really want to see
is what you have in this - grief that I posses
Lord I know you're here with me
Move my tears so I can see
what you want for me
nothing can be free

(Repeat Chorus)

(Bridge)
I'm lieing here in my disease
I'm needing intervention please
I am so numb - and all I know is I'm in need of love
cus if I'm bleeding I couldn't say, it's either that or I'm sweating through my vein
I'm crying, please listen
I'm dieing to this one... (girl)

*repeat intro guitar solo*

Chorus x2 - Opening Solo *fade*
-----------------------------
Wrote it as a "Prayer" about a girl... but it applies to many other things, that's why girl is only whispered in the last bridge line - if you want the whole story, e-mail me and I'll send a full explanation

We've Died to Dumb and Dumber
You know what I realized in the random thoughts by my bed... our humor completely describes our generation.

Just look at the movies we find "humorous," Dumb and Dumber, American Pie, Supertroopers, etc etc. I don't think anyone alive can disagree with me when I say they are all exessively STUPID movies. People know they're stupid, that's why they watch them!

Someone who used to go to our school once said, "I don't want to THINK about what I'm watching! I just want to laugh at it." That's exactly the way we are becoming... no one wants to think about anything!

In our day and age, we are actually ENCOURAGED to be this way. We are all about feelings, not thought. We are told to express our feelings, but we disassociate ourselves from the logical.

Just think... you go to a psychiatrist(sp? - Check me on this one...) and the first thing they ask you on everything is "How does that make you feel?"

You can almost always tell a bad candidate from his adds. If it's all about feeling and emotion and "I'll do what I can to make you feel good," then he's, most likely, a bad candidate, because he doesn't WANT you to think about how good he'd be for the country, just make you FEEL like voting for him.

It's not always true, though, because, I suppose, the good candidates who want you to logically consider them can't compete with their opponent because feelings seem to be all people respond to these days. So you're FALLING FOR IT!

I guess I'm saying this, because of the election, a little, but mostly just because it annoys me.

Think about your decisions and look into the opponents stances before you seriously vote (because I can't... haha). I just know that the "I hate Bush" campaign isn't logic, it's emotion (yes folks, hate is an emotion that clouds your judgment). I'm not saying you shouldn't vote for Kerry, though I am a Bush supporter, but THINK about it before you vote for him. Make sure his views are yours... because too many people think one way and vote another.

Sorry folks. My sermon went long... but good luck and vote smart.

God BlessED America. Don't screw it up now.

Pictures? Music? Actual Posts
I don't get it... when did everyone start getting into logic?

Maybe it's this whole presidential race, It's makin' everyone a political genious.

"John Kerry's face is exessively long, therefore he MUST be the anti-christ."

"George W. Bush cannot speak proper English, therefore he MUST be the anti-christ"

Maybe I'm exaggerating a little bit, but still... some people don't have a clue!

But yea, pictures, heh. The 21st century is calling and I still don't have an answering machine. Honestly, where do you find these pictures... and how do you put them on? Gee Willy I'm technologically illiterate.

Jukebox... see pictures paragraph.

Have I ever actually posted about anything relevant? If so please tell me, then I might further pursue whatever subject I actually understood enough to talk about.

Speaking of presidential race, what does John Kerry and a pancake have in common... Flip, flop, flip, flop

Ok, just to be politically incorrect, read the joke as such
Speaking of... uh... um... well speaking of the presi... uh... presidential race... (etc)

God Bless America and the idiots who live here (amongst which you can count myself).

Music
"Drowning in Something"

It happened again
A word or two and then
The cement is at my feet
and the boat is leaking

I swear I tried this time
To get it off my mind
I'm falling into sleep
and the water's deeping

Chorus
I stand before you
drowning in something new

I wade in the shallows
now the coast gaurds on patrol

One wonders when one
can say it all is won
check back later on
and I'll still be drowning strong
(Verse)
I don't know when it started
When the land and me had parted
My passive stance has failed
and I'm slowly dieing

I find in my failing life
I've been fighting for a lie
Beaching like a whale
On a desert highway
(Chorus)
Bridge
I see an extended hand
I think I might reach land
I smile and think at last
I will rise up and be free

I've almost gotten there
I catch a breath of air
I reach up and try to grasp
but the hand would smite me

I stand before you... DROWNING IN SOMETHING!

*pulsing guitar and record scratching*
I'm tired of the friction, the fighting for remission, lost in idistinction, denying my conviction
Tired of the conflict, the pain and of the running, the anger lack of unrest, the past that holds me back

I... Stand... Be... fore... you
I... drown... a.. NEW!
(chorus w/ different beat and stuff...)
--------------------------
that's it...

Return to the bitter-sweet
Bitter-sweet, that is how I refer to the first few weeks of school because that is definatly it... crazy isn't it?

Well now that we're past the lame intro, explanation time! I hate school because, well lets face it folks, it's school! But I came back and realized how much I missed actually having a social life! Honestly, I talked to a total of 6 people this summer!

Well now that I got that crap out of the way! I wrote a few more songs, despite getting the boot from my band and semi-starting another one, Most of which are full of angst and sorrow... dunno why, life's actually not going all that bad...

OO! Lifelight festival. Free Christian music concerts gallore, and they were all pretty good! I rocked violently in the mosh pit and ended up with various cuts and scrapes... YAY VIOLENCE! There were quite a few big names and it was free... did I mention it was free?

Well, uh, that's about all I can come up with... If you leave a comment leave a subject that you'd like to see me ramble about. Hey, not like it could hurt the post quality around here or anything, right?

I've poured out my soul and I'm empty. I guess I'll have to refill on violent video games and movies full of sex and violence. Then I'll go do some drugs like all those dang teenagers do...

The Perfect Family Vacation...
WHY OH WHY AM I CURSED TO LIVE THROUGH THIS! WHY CAN'T WE JUST GO HOME!

Well now that I got that out of the way, my hellish vacation I can describe in one word... Bordom.

Before we go any further, I must let you know one key point of information... I hate heights and, especially, roller coasters. Call me what you like, but I can't stand them, they make me sick, and not in a good way... if there is one(???).

Well, aside from Country music and hick-food, there is nothing for me to do! I just sit and read, which makes my mom mad cause I'm not helping the family fun. The problem is, if I tell them I absolutely HATE this vacation, then they'll go out of their way to make me have fun, and then I won't be happy cus I'll be ruining their vacation... NOT COOL!

But eventually, after long hours of music, lack of fun at the park, and faked headaches so that I could be excused to the hotel.. they caught on, and that's partially why I am being allowed to go on here(I'm typing this from an internet cafe).

Well, aside from that, I have been inspired to write a song! The song is about people looking down on me and laughing at me. It was inspired by two girls who walked by me and laughed at me (who'da thunk?) and it pissed me off! So I wrote a happy yelling song about them... Sure, they may have been laughing at my shirt, I can't remember what I was wearing, but it's a good idea and I'm not going to taint this victory...

Well, anyway, my time is running low and I'm gonna go. Next time you guys go on a hellish vacation, just remember me and the fact that I feel your pain... though right about now, that pain might just be diarea... OOF!

You are.. Spike!


Which Buffy The Vampire Slayer Character are you?
brought to you by Quizilla


Your Spike! A hardcore bad boy, you like to live on
the dark side. Your a vampire, so naturally,
you love the dark, and Buffy Summers. You do
have a slight tendency to be a pain in the ass.
Grrgh Arrgh Chap. Your a Bloody Bollix, but
kick ass!


Which character of Buffy The Vampire Slayer are you most like? * boys *
brought to you by Quizilla

----------------------------

SPIKE ROX MY SOX!

Well now that that is out of the way...

I've been gone for way too long now, and I'm back

I wrote a cool new song, the guitar gives this all it's strength. The lyrics lack a whole lot of flair, the guitar part is awesome though, it's got an 80's rock feel to it... very grungy and it sounds awesome with the "Wah" setting on my amp.

The first note is simply striking and ringing out the fifth fret on the Low E string... and holding as the rythem guitar does a 3 power chord set. Then the "intro riff" of 1-3-5 on the low e string

Then the real rythem begins... I have a set of three semi-power chords that I use in different ways through the whole song... not very creative... but I'm a bad guitar player and it sounds awesome anyway:)

Well anyway, I use them in a descending patern while the solo guitar does the intro at an octave up the lyrics are as follows

How long should it take...
How long should it take...
How long is it gonna take...
How long until I break...

on break they hit a power chord and the rythem guitar plays the power chords strait... but only one strike at a time... in between solo will play this
E - (Power 1-1 (Power 3-3 " 5-5
B - chord) 1-1 Chord)3-3 " 5-5

*crickets chirp as everyone gaps at the moron who continues to explain his song*

Ok... You're right... You're just gonna have to trust me until I can get a sound clip up here!
-------------------------------

Well... My band did a concert. It rocked like you wouldn't believe! People were complimenting me and stuff but all I wanted was water and a shower!!! But hey... James was there... how'd you like it??

Ah well, I'll be gone again for a while... try not to miss me

Enjoy Life... and stuff

   WOO-HOO! GO SPEECH!
Wow am I psyched! We just performed our "Evening of Eloquence"(special night for showing off the state and all-state speech participants) and it was blast-worthy!

James(Xander Harris) did his improv (which he's going to All-State in - Hey, if he won't brag, I will!) and it was friggin hillarious! The whole crowd was rolling!

But the performance wasn't half the fun... then you got Meghan and I talking like "Queer Eye for the Strait Guy" rejects and telling them about the coffee, biscotti, and manicures(haha)!

We (James and I) went off in front of everybody, totally improvised, about a little stuffed reindeer of ours which "Came from the Sky! Then was sent on a noble quest to give our speech team his blessings!" It was humorous(understatement).

Mrs Visscher now wishes to excommunicate us as well as wring our necks... so I'll be on the run for a while! I'll post later, if I survive.

Hats off to speech... *three pumps into the air* GO SPEECH!
