12:01 am - i can't fall asleep, but i'm tired...
|
The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings but shorter tempers, wider freeways, but narrower viewpoints. We spend more, but have less, we buy more, but enjoy less. We have bigger houses and smaller families, more conveniences, but less time. We have more degrees but less sense, more knowledge, but less judgment, more experts, yet more problems, more medicine, but less wellness.
We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get too angry, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too little, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom.
We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values. We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate too often.
We've learned how to make a living, but not a life.
We've added years to life not life to years. We've been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet a new neighbour.
We conquered outer space but not inner space. We've done larger things, but not better things.
We've cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul.
We've conquered the atom, but not our prejudice. We write more, but learn less. We plan more, but accomplish less. We've learned to rush, but not to wait. We build more computers to hold more information, to produce more copies than ever, but we communicate less and less.
These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion, big men and small character, steep profits and shallow relationships. These are the days of two incomes but more divorce, fancier houses, but broken homes. These are days of quick trips, disposable diapers, throwaway morality, one night stands, overweight bodies, and pills that do everything from cheer, to quiet, to kill. It is a time when there is much in the showroom window and nothing in the stockroom. A time when technology can bring this letter to you, and a time when you can choose either to share this insight, or to just hit delete.
Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.
HOW TO STAY YOUNG
1. Throw out nonessential numbers. This includes age, weight and height. Let the doctor worry about them. That is why you pay him/her.
2. Keep only cheerful friends. The grouches pull you down.
3. Keep learning. Learn more about the computer, crafts, gardening, whatever. Never let the brain idle. " An idle mind is the devil's workshop."And the devil's name is Alzheimer's.
4. Enjoy the simple things.
5. Laugh often, long and loud. Laugh until you gasp for breath.
6. The tears happen. Endure, grieve, and move on. The only person who is with us our entire life, is ourselves. Be ALIVE while you are alive.
7. Surround yourself with what you love, whether it's family, pets, keepsakes, music, plants, hobbies, whatever. Your home is your refuge.
8. Cherish your health: If it is good, preserve it. If it is unstable, improve it. If it is beyond what you can improve, get help.
9. Don't take guilt trips. Take a trip to the mall, to the next county, to a foreign country, but NOT to where the guilt is.
10. Tell the people you love that you love them, at every opportunity.
AND ALWAYS REMEMBER:
Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.

11:16 pm - do this OR ELSE i might have to kill you
|
1. On your current playlist, hit shuffle and pick the first forty songs on the list.
2. Write down one line of the song. Try to avoid putting the song title in the line.
3. Have your friends comment and see if they know any songs.
4. When someone guesses correctly, strike out the line and list the correct name of the song next to it.
( DO IT. It took forever. )
have fun...:-P
current mood: my neck hurts :-(
current music: My shuffle list lol

this week has gone by so fast. nothing exciting happened, there was nothing to look forward too. track sucks, what a surprise. my math teacher hates me, she yelled at me because i asked something...ok well she didnt yell she just says "you werent paying attention" and repeats what she just said, and yea that made my week so much better. she's so mean and fake and i want to switch classes. i dont think im ever going to ask a question in that class ever again.
i dont even care anymore...about anything.
people bother me but i dont want to complain about them because theyve been bothering me A Lot lately and nobody wants to hear about it and besides i cant really complaining about people bc its just wrong.
lunch was fun today. i actually got a computer!! =0
we have a track meet tomorrow, and im not looking foward to it. im not nervous, i just dont want to race, i dont know why. i keeep thinking tracks going to get better but its not.
i want to go christmas shopping.
blahblahblah im bored...
and dinners ready so im gonna go..bye<3
current mood: whatever.
current music: i dont wanna know

11:21 am - "its no longer just the 12 days of christmas"
|
i got out of art last period..already hating christmas. ms syska turned on the radio again and all they played was christmas carols. i wouldnt mind but, its only 4 days after thanksgiving. it was really annoying, and the kid who sits at my table says yea...its no longer the 12 days of x-mas..its 25 days...on the 25th day of xmas you gave me 25 headaches. it was funny so i'd thought id share that with you all.
thanksgiving wasnt bad, ate yummy food...slept over my cuz's...went for a bike ride in the freezing cold...then raked..got home...i was freeeeezing. the next day was foot locker and i did ok... and i wore the shirt to school with alysssa.
today is scheduling for YL appointments (i couldnt think of a better word). im kind of nervous..but considering 1/6 the people that applied are only going to go makes me feel a little better if i dont make it.
saturday night i woke up in the middle of the night and i couldnt feel my arm bc i slept on it...i started freaking out..i was liek what the hell whose arm is this.??! it was so heavy too when i tried to move it...it was scary.
winter track after school today...what fun.
later..byes

11:00 pm - time
|
NO SCHOOL TOMORROW!!!
WOOHOO!! i get to sleep late!
no track friday, get to sleep late! Woo!
No track saturday, instead going into the bronx for the foot locker race!!
:D im going to enjoy this weekend especially cause i have NO hw!!
last thursday was the awards dinner for xc. we got mr parrett a guitar and we all signed it just bc we're amazing like that. <3
amazing night.
which reminds me- BJ came to school today!! :D she ran with us in track <3 in the rain <33
patricia came too! my brothers came home! i love when people visit for the holidays!
this weekend was the st judes lock in. eh. i dont know why, but i didnt really have that much fun on it. it was nice but..idk. it was really long...we got to sleep but 37 hours ...without showers..or time....nahh.
my hands smell like paint. hahaha ok. we were peeling apples for the pies tomorrow, when my mom cut one in half bc it was too big to put through that cutter thingy. and you know how when you cut an apple in half, (like the 'equator') it makes a star? well i knew that, i just didnt know how it happened. so, i got very excited about this star that it reminded me of kindergarten when we would paint with it. so i asked my mom if i could, and she said yes, so i did. and it actually came out really cool. <3 yay for acting liek your five years old! <3
lately ive been thinkling anout time, and how it all goes so fast. like, think about it. if when you were in 6th grade and someone told you who you would be, what you would do, would you believe them? i dont think i would. cross country, youre crazy. thats insane i can never run that far. heh. YG? No. i never thought i would be friends with the people i am now. time goes by so fast. 7th grade, it wasnt really that long ago. sometimes it feels like forver, sometimes it feels liek yesterday.
ok so im done rambling about time and how it passes and blah blah blah.
january is going to rock.
see look at that. im always waiting for something to come...and then it comes...and it goes.
like at christmas i always think "another year until this happens again". i dont even do it on purpose. i just think. ahh ok. ANYWAY.
its likw WOW 11:30. and guess what. i dont care. i can sleep late tomorrow. HAHA :p
<3later

11:17 pm - i loveeee switchfoot.
|
she told him she'd rather fix her makeup
than try to fix what's going on
but the problem keeps on calling
even with the cellphone gone
she told him that she believes in living
bigger than she's living now
but her world keeps spinning backwards
and upsidedown
don't say so long in the cellphone
don't spend today away
cuz today will soon be
gone, like yesterday is gone,
like history is
gone, just trying to prove me wrong
and pretend like your immortal
she said he said live like no tomorrow
every day we borrow
brings us one step closer to the edge (infinity)
where your treasure, where's your hope
forget the world and lose your soul
she pretends like she pretends like she's immortal
don't say so long
your not that far gone
this could be your big chance to makeup
today till soon be
gone, like yeterday is gone,
like history is gone,
the world keeps spinning on,
your going going gone,
like sumemr break is gone,
like saturday is gone
just trying to prove me wrong
you pretend like your immortal your immortal
we are not infinite
we are not permanate
nothing is immediate
we're so confident
in our accomplishments
look at how dark it is
gone, like Frank Sinatra
like Elvis and his mom
like AL Pichino's cash nothing lasts in this life
my highschool dreams are gone
my childhood sweets are gone
life is a day that doesn't last for long
life is more than money
time was never money
time was never cash,
life is still more than girls
life is more than hundred dollar bills
and oh the town fills
life more than fame and rock and roll and thrills
all the riches of the kings
and up in wills we got information in the information age
but do we know what life is
outside of our conveinent Lexus cages
she said he said live like no tomorrow
every moment that we borrow
brings us closer to the God who's not short of cash
hey Bono i'm glad you asked
life is still worth living, life is still worth living
____
gone-switchfoot
they're awesome, thats all i have to say.
current mood:  cheerful
current music: gone

5:26 pm - our brains just exploded and is all over the floor.
|
yelays over and we just finished our math paper
and i think i wanna die
Zeno is burning in math hell
you know your paper is confusing when the person who thought of the idea went crazy from it
"We need remark that Zeno finally lost his head for treason or something of the sort, and pass on to those who did not lose their heads over his arguements." (Bell 25)
see we're even citing it correctly!!
our brains are fried we just worked on this paper for like 5 hours!! and we only did like 2 pages!!!!
BUT WE ARE FINISHED WITH OUR MATH PAPER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
wer done biznatches!!! (guess who said that!!)
and yelay almost accidentally exed out without saving it and i started freaking out but it was saved. we were both =0 for a good minute.
we tried eating to boost our brain power ...ring ding and wheat thins DO NOT boost your brain power.
current mood:  cooked

yesterday is a wrinkle on your forehead
yesterday is a promise that you've broken
don't close your eyes, don't close your eyes
this is your life and today is all you've got now
yeah, and today is all you'll ever have
don't close your eyes
don't close your eyes
this is your life, are you who you want to be
this is your life, are you who you want to be
this is your life, is it everything you dreamed that it would be
when the world was younger and you had everything to lose
yesterday is a kid in the corner
yesterday is dead and over
this is your life, are you who you want to be
this is your life, are you who you want to be
this is your life, is it everything you dreamed that it would be
when the world was younger and you had everything to lose

two places.
two effing places.
boys varsity-yea. sucked again.
dylan conway-freshman-won 4th-first freshamn ever going to states 'o'
mike mccristall-got 7th, wasnt sure if he made it, stupid sayville coach added wrong and thought millerplace won, congratualted miller place, mike was told he was going to states.
half hr later, mike was told he was not going to states bc they messed up.
that has to be the worst feeling in the world.
tomyseniors-i love you guys. the past two seasons-nothing but amazing-ness.
-skoldburgh finish-end of townline-go hauppauge-123 flush-hitting the sign-under the soccer goals-freshman last year-running after the race-fixing the radio-minibuses-parretts house-Criiter-critters funeral-eye of the tiger-swimming in october-

10:23 pm - wait...WHAT!?!?!
|
ok, my day. it started out really good. i missed my bus and somehow managed to get on kristi's...which was so awesome bc i havent talked to her in forever.
then i went into the locker room and i see the decorations for the seniors were still up...which made me so amazed and happy...i dont even know why, its just like wow, girls didnt ruin it more and custodians didnt take it down? niice.
then i had free, always nice to sit and draw/talkto brian and liana at 7:30 in the morning rather then badminton.
even though i love badminton, its just not the smae as it was in 7th/8th grade with my hardcore badminton partner <3 haha.
ohhh man....memories are coming back to me...
ok, back to my day...yea...basically got crappy after english...lovely...that class ruins my mood for the rest of the day she gives so much hw...but hey we're 'honors' so w/e.
global- we were talking about politics and brian says something to me then arya interupts and says 'she doesnt know anything about politics she said' and i actually dont remember if he said the "she said" part but i still was rather insulted...even though i really DONT know much about politics...i know a little.
drawing-never bad, i love this class... i dont know anyone in ti, but i love it...maybe bc its before lunch and i know i only have 1 more per left until freedom? maybe no work.. nice teacher...drawing? who knows but its cool.
lunch-the usual
math-got our tests back 101 baby! which made me excited...megan started pounding on her binder during the do now which made me start laughing hysterically (and dont worry, she actaully did it for a reason lol)
bio-nothing unusual...
xc practice- we actually did a perimeter 'o' surprisingly lol... hidden pond one loop.. talked about shizzle with the girls :) i liek our new theory about xc boys haha...
went home....actually did some hw bc im geeky.
yg...ehh. it was ok.
now im here.
ok, last week. didnt go to the drama, but im sure everyone did wonderful.
INSTEAD i went to dylans party...OMG ...i went crazy..haha i just realized why...at gs mrs remeika gave me a cupake and 3 brownies and a handful of cady corn and bc i didnt eat anything since fifth per so i basically shoved it all in my mouth except for one brownie ^_^ haha ....yea so me and alyssa were so amazingly hyper... im not going repeat what went on there bc theres just no need but i had an awesome time..
sat-meet... safe halloween-yea not much fun, i was there for an hr but i wsnt doing anything for german...so i was bored to death...but then i saw orchestra play and roxy (and whoever else) was sooo good! then...helped schnur clean up and went home...did english the rest of the night.
suday- laur's party...fun, i didnt get shaving creamed. got a lil candy, watched aladin of course <3 lol
wow, that was actually pretty long...ok done byeeeee.
current mood:  cold
current music: then i saw her faaaace....now im a believer...

5:46 pm - i just read some very depressing journal entries...
|
i know everyone has been feeling pretty sad lately.
but i cant help but be pretty happy at this moment.
yesterday was the last gt trip. ever.
5 people showed up. nice.to.know.you.cared.
it was the most amazing gt trip ever.
no notes. not cold.
singing on the bus.
hoods and stuff.
the work wasnt too bad. it was easier then the other groups :)
all we had to do was shovel out the clams, there was barely any sand.
then we measured them. they didnt grow very well.
we finished early.
"i hope you have a nice life.
im never going to see you again."
got back in time for bio review, i dont think it helped much.
ending on that note im sad now. :(
but yesterday was so amazing i couldnt help but feel it was a great way to end the gt science prgram.
we dont get to go to alaska. or study seals.
then we ahd a meet against comswag (wow totally mesed sp up) we won. :) and i got a PR. 20:23.
under 20 was my goal for senior year.
i want to break it, this year.
we didnt do a cool down. my legs hurt today.
<3
current mood: mehh
current music: Dancing Queen ..haha
