I can't post comments, this is starting to piss me off. AHHHHHHHHH! Also, I stayed up in vain last night. Anyways, I woke up this morning to discover that my aunt and uncle from Kentucky are coming up. I hope they don't expect much of me.

Wow, that computer-addicted brother was on all-day yesterday. Anyway, Tuesday night we had band practice. I'm trying to get home (I didn't have my bike), I called my grandparents 3 times, line busy each time. Call home once, ask my brother if anyone is home, he says no. So I walked about 3 miles home. I met some people who graduated last year at a snowcone place. Then some lady came up to me asking me "Do you know how to break into cars!" First off, if I knew, I might not be walking home, secondly, why are you asking someone? During my walk home, I was watching this light in the sky that was moving slowly from a far distance up. Wasn't a satelite, moving too slow. Well when I got home, I noticed that the light had moved to above my house. Creepy thought.
Yesterday, we had band photos in the morning. Almost everyone was half-ssleep. Well, the low brass section took this time to talk and we ended up talking about the answer to life, the universe and everything. Of course, we all agreed that the answer is 42 (figure out the reference for yourself, that is my challenge). And then, This Happenend.
That is also a figur it out for yourself.

Nice and bored. I was put through a torture that baseball fans seem to go through once a year. A nice 13-1 blowout. I sat through the entire game listening on the radio. Of course to lessen the blow, Marty Brennaman talked about the naming of his new cat. Wanted to name it Wily Mo, he named it Palmer. I also participated in the Cincinnati Bell Trivia Question of the Game. What results in the breeding of a male horse and a female donkey? A: A Hinny.
Yes I know I talk about baseball too much but is this really baseball. I think I forgot to mention that the Reds were on the losing side.
