MizU

Well, I am leaving for Missouri today. :) I'm going to be staying at the University of Missouri for a week for National Latin Convention (which is one of the greatest things ever created). And yesterday me and my sister and a bunch of other people had to make 150 spiders (made of bowls and pipecleaners and put beans inside) and pig noses (dixie cups spray painted pink with elastic tied to them) for spirit (aka when you yell and scream like an idiot). Yeah. It was not very fun. Well anyways, it shoujld be good fun, and you can all cal my cell if you need anything and have the number. If not...then find someone who does or just something. I would enjoy the calls. :)

Love always,
Toni

BEETHOVEN!!!

Alright everyone. I have found my new hero.

Yes. Beethoven. Our good friend Ludwig Van.

:) I watched the movie "A Clockwork Orange" and they play Beethoven's 9th in it, and it like drives the guy crazy, but anyways. Its an awesome movie.

But that is beside the point.

BEETHOVEN FLIPPING ROCKS!!

I downloaded a bunch of his stuff today, and its great. REally great. His Symphonies make me wanna die (which is a good thing in this case).

ANNNDD!!!! He wrote "Moonlight Sonata" which is only the most awesome song to play on the piano. I <3 it lots.

Everyone should listen to and love Beethoven. If not...well then O my Brothers, we do not want to talk to you anymore. Or maybe I wil ljust flcik you a lot. Yes. That sounds like punishment enough.

Raven- Dave Matthews Band

What you got what you got in your hand? - a father said to son
I got the whole world here Daddy between my fingers and my thumb
Well you take care of it please - it’s the only one
Well it would take me a lifetime old man to undo what you’ve done
To undo what you’ve done

Oh come on now boy think what would Jesus do?
He shake his head like an angry mother - spoke the boy and say I did what I could do
But you take care of it please – it’s the only one you got
And it’d take ten lifetimes boy to undo what I’ve done

Boy shrugged walked away
The man stood and watched as he was leaving
Boy just walked away
The man stood alone thinking

One hand is bleeding and the other hand holds a gun
While everything is open everything is shut down, down, down
Begin to ending is really just a go round and round and round
As I stand here - the ground beneath is nothing more than one point of view

What you got what you got in your hand? Your secret’s safe with me
Well I found the truth friend let me whisper in your ear
Take good care of it please - it’s the only one there is
Can I twist it please can I give it just a little twist

Boy shrugged walked away
The man stood and watched as he was leaving
Boy just walked away
The man stood there twisting

One hand is bleeding and the other hand holds a gun
Everything is open now everything is shut down, down, down
No one is holding even if you even if your sure
You never know it all the ground beneath is nothing more than my point of view

Boy shrugged walked away
The man stood and watched as he was leaving
Boy just walked away
The man stood there twisting

One hand is open and the other hand holds the gun
Everything is open now is everything coming down, down, down
No one is hoping even if you even if you know
You never know it all - nothing more than, nothing more than my point of view

Boy shrugged walked away
The man stood and watched as he was leaving
The man stood there twistin

Greetings

Just wanted to say hello from down here in Knoxville, Tennessee, where, sadly, the internet is better than mine...

Anyways...Its been a busy week. A 7 hour drive Wednesday, rehearsal dinner Thursday, Wedding, Reception, Cook out Friday, Wedding, Reception Saturday, Fentress county on Sunday, And spending nearly all day today with kids all under the age of 10. Phew...

I don't know if it was an omen or something...but the first night i got here, i was swimming with some of my family. Wouldn't you know, I "accidentally" get punched in the temple, and developed a headache that is constant, but dull, unless i move my head (as if i was shaking my head no), in which case it hurts like....like....well, you get the point...yeah...

Don't get me wrong-its been fun. I even got to meet a real live Canadian and a real live Texan, all in the same hour-you dont get to do that often. Both weddings were beautiful (aren't i obliged to say that?), as were the receptions-including one on the eleventh floor of the Marriot overlooking the [Tennessee] river. I tell you though-two weddings and receptions in 36 hours-all while trying to seem pleasant and like you care about the Canadians and their problems while they are getting drunk again-is not easy-especially with my crazy family. But I must say, we tore up the dance floor-pretending we could step dance so as to be able to get on the videographers tape...

And Fentress county-where my uncle lives-was downright exciting. Ok, it was actually not exciting at all-there is nothing to really do out there, cept go swimming and torture the farm cats-and hang out with family, which is always fun. Oh, and it was even funner cuz its in a differnt time zone, which always makes more interesting-so it really only took 20 minutes to drive there, stead of 1 hour and 20 minutes, and 2 hoursa and 20 minutes to drive back--well, by my logic...

And Today-3 babies, 5 kids below the age of 6, and 3 kids between the ages of 7 and 11. And one big swimming pool. Phew. Course, seeing as this will be the only time i see them until i next see them, it was worth it...

Course, it can never be that bad, down here in Knoxville, where one out of every five cars has a power T on it. No place quite like it, and its more than worth coming down here-a city right along the mountains...Just minutes away from complete isolation...along with Rocky Top-What could be better? Got to love Knoxville-I would just hate to live down here, i believe it would lose its majesty...perfect place to come see a football game though




This song is called Alice's Restaurant, and it's about Alice, and therestaurant, but Alice's Restaurant is not the name of the restaurant,that's just the name of the song, and that's why I called the song Alice'sRestaurant.

You can get anything you want at Alice's Restaurant
You can get anything you want at Alice's Restaurant
Walk right in it's around the back
Just a half a mile from the railroad track
You can get anything you want at Alice's Restaurant

Now it all started two Thanksgivings ago, was on - two years ago onThanksgiving, when my friend and I went up to visit Alice at therestaurant, but Alice doesn't live in the restaurant, she lives in thechurch nearby the restaurant, in the bell-tower, with her husband Ray andFasha the dog. And livin' in the bell tower like that, they got a lot ofroom downstairs where the pews used to be in. Havin' all that room,seein' as how they took out all the pews, they decided that they didn'thave to take out their garbage for a long time.

We got up there, we found all the garbage in there, and we decided it'd bea friendly gesture for us to take the garbage down to the city dump. Sowe took the half a ton of garbage, put it in the back of a red VWmicrobus, took shovels and rakes and implements of destruction and headedon toward the city dump.

Well we got there and there was a big sign and a chain across across thedump saying, "Closed on Thanksgiving." And we had never heard of a dumpclosed on Thanksgiving before, and with tears in our eyes we drove offinto the sunset looking for another place to put the garbage.

We didn't find one. Until we came to a side road, and off the side of theside road there was another fifteen foot cliff and at the bottom of thecliff there was another pile of garbage. And we decided that one big pileis better than two little piles, and rather than bring that one up wedecided to throw our's down.

That's what we did, and drove back to the church, had a thanksgivingdinner that couldn't be beat, went to sleep and didn't get up until thenext morning, when we got a phone call from officer Obie. He said, "Kid,we found your name on an envelope at the bottom of a half a ton ofgarbage, and just wanted to know if you had any information about it." AndI said, "Yes, sir, Officer Obie, I cannot tell a lie, I put that envelopeunder that garbage."

After speaking to Obie for about fourty-five minutes on the telephone wefinally arrived at the truth of the matter and said that we had to go downand pick up the garbage, and also had to go down and speak to him at thepolice officer's station. So we got in the red VW microbus with theshovels and rakes and implements of destruction and headed on toward thepolice officer's station.

Now friends, there was only one or two things that Obie coulda done atthe police station, and the first was he could have given us a medal forbeing so brave and honest on the telephone, which wasn't very likely, andwe didn't expect it, and the other thing was he could have bawled us outand told us never to be see driving garbage around the vicinity again,which is what we expected, but when we got to the police officer's stationthere was a third possibility that we hadn't even counted upon, and we wasboth immediately arrested. Handcuffed. And I said "Obie, I don't think Ican pick up the garbage with these handcuffs on." He said, "Shut up, kid.Get in the back of the patrol car."

And that's what we did, sat in the back of the patrol car and drove to thequote Scene of the Crime unquote. I want tell you about the town ofStockbridge, Massachusets, where this happened here, they got three stopsigns, two police officers, and one police car, but when we got to theScene of the Crime there was five police officers and three police cars,being the biggest crime of the last fifty years, and everybody wanted toget in the newspaper story about it. And they was using up all kinds ofcop equipment that they had hanging around the police officer's station.They was taking plaster tire tracks, foot prints, dog smelling prints, andthey took twenty seven eight-by-ten colour glossy photographs with circlesand arrows and a paragraph on the back of each one explaining what eachone was to be used as evidence against us. Took pictures of the approach,the getaway, the northwest corner the southwest corner and that's not tomention the aerial photography.

After the ordeal, we went back to the jail. Obie said he was going to putus in the cell. Said, "Kid, I'm going to put you in the cell, I want yourwallet and your belt." And I said, "Obie, I can understand you wanting mywallet so I don't have any money to spend in the cell, but what do youwant my belt for?" And he said, "Kid, we don't want any hangings." Isaid, "Obie, did you think I was going to hang myself for littering?"Obie said he was making sure, and friends Obie was, cause he took out thetoilet seat so I couldn't hit myself over the head and drown, and he tookout the toilet paper so I couldn't bend the bars roll out the - roll thetoilet paper out the window, slide down the roll and have an escape. Obiewas making sure, and it was about four or five hours later that Alice(remember Alice? It's a song about Alice), Alice came by and with a fewnasty words to Obie on the side, bailed us out of jail, and we went backto the church, had a another thanksgiving dinner that couldn't be beat,and didn't get up until the next morning, when we all had to go to court.

We walked in, sat down, Obie came in with the twenty seven eight-by-tencolour glossy pictures with circles and arrows and a paragraph on the backof each one, sat down. Man came in said, "All rise." We all stood up,and Obie stood up with the twenty seven eight-by-ten colour glossypictures, and the judge walked in sat down with a seeing eye dog, and hesat down, we sat down. Obie looked at the seeing eye dog, and then at thetwenty seven eight-by-ten colour glossy pictures with circles and arrowsand a paragraph on the back of each one, and looked at the seeing eye dog.And then at twenty seven eight-by-ten colour glossy pictures with circlesand arrows and a paragraph on the back of each one and began to cry,'cause Obie came to the realization that it was a typical case of Americanblind justice, and there wasn't nothing he could do about it, and thejudge wasn't going to look at the twenty seven eight-by-ten colour glossypictures with the circles and arrows and a paragraph on the back of eachone explaining what each one was to be used as evidence against us. Andwe was fined $50 and had to pick up the garbage in the snow, but thats notwhat I came to tell you about.

Came to talk about the draft.

They got a building down New York City, it's called Whitehall Street,where you walk in, you get injected, inspected, detected, infected, neglected and selected. I went down to get my physical examination oneday, and I walked in, I sat down, got good and drunk the night before, soI looked and felt my best when I went in that morning. `Cause I wanted tolook like the all-American kid from New York City, man I wanted, I wantedto feel like the all-, I wanted to be the all American kid from New York,and I walked in, sat down, I was hung down, brung down, hung up, and allkinds o' mean nasty ugly things. And I waked in and sat down and they gaveme a piece of paper, said, "Kid, see the phsychiatrist, room 604."

And I went up there, I said, "Shrink, I want to kill. I mean, I wanna, Iwanna kill. Kill. I wanna, I wanna see, I wanna see blood and gore andguts and veins in my teeth. Eat dead burnt bodies. I mean kill, Kill,KILL, KILL." And I started jumpin up and down yelling, "KILL, KILL," andhe started jumpin up and down with me and we was both jumping up and downyelling, "KILL, KILL." And the sargent came over, pinned a medal on me,sent me down the hall, said, "You're our boy."

Didn't feel too good about it.

Proceeded on down the hall gettin more injections, inspections,detections, neglections and all kinds of stuff that they was doin' to meat the thing there, and I was there for two hours, three hours, fourhours, I was there for a long time going through all kinds of mean nastyugly things and I was just having a tough time there, and they wasinspecting, injecting every single part of me, and they was leaving nopart untouched. Proceeded through, and when I finally came to the see thelast man, I walked in, walked in sat down after a whole big thing there,and I walked up and said, "What do you want?" He said, "Kid, we only gotone question. Have you ever been arrested?"

And I proceeded to tell him the story of the Alice's Restaurant Massacre,with full orchestration and five part harmony and stuff like that and allthe phenome... - and he stopped me right there and said, "Kid, did you evergo to court?"

And I proceeded to tell him the story of the twenty seven eight-by-tencolour glossy pictures with the circles and arrows and the paragraph onthe back of each one, and he stopped me right there and said, "Kid, I wantyou to go and sit down on that bench that says Group W .... NOW kid!!"

And I, I walked over to the, to the bench there, and there is, Group W'swhere they put you if you may not be moral enough to join the army aftercommitting your special crime, and there was all kinds of mean nasty uglylooking people on the bench there. Mother rapers. Father stabbers. Fatherrapers! Father rapers sitting right there on the bench next to me! Andthey was mean and nasty and ugly and horrible crime-type guys sitting on thebench next to me. And the meanest, ugliest, nastiest one, the meanestfather raper of them all, was coming over to me and he was mean 'n' ugly'n' nasty 'n' horrible and all kind of things and he sat down next to meand said, "Kid, whad'ya get?" I said, "I didn't get nothing, I had to pay$50 and pick up the garbage." He said, "What were you arrested for, kid?"And I said, "Littering." And they all moved away from me on the benchthere, and the hairy eyeball and all kinds of mean nasty things, till Isaid, "And creating a nuisance." And they all came back, shook my hand,and we had a great time on the bench, talkin about crime, mother stabbing,father raping, all kinds of groovy things that we was talking about on thebench. And everything was fine, we was smoking cigarettes and all kinds ofthings, until the Sargeant came over, had some paper in his hand, held itup and said.

"Kids, this-piece-of-paper's-got-47-words-37-sentences-58-words-we-wanna-know-details-of-the-crime-time-of-the-crime-and-any-other-kind-of-thing-you-gotta-say-pertaining-to-and-about-the-crime-I-want-to-know-arresting-officer's-name-and-any-other-kind-of-thing-you-gotta-say", and talked forforty-five minutes and nobody understood a word that he said, but we hadfun filling out the forms and playing with the pencils on the bench there,and I filled out the massacre with the four part harmony, and wrote itdown there, just like it was, and everything was fine and I put down thepencil, and I turned over the piece of paper, and there, there on theother side, in the middle of the other side, away from everything else onthe other side, in parentheses, capital letters, quotated, read thefollowing words:

("KID, HAVE YOU REHABILITATED YOURSELF?")

I went over to the sargent, said, "Sargeant, you got a lot a damn gall to ask me if I've rehabilitated myself, I mean, I mean, I mean that just, I'msittin' here on the bench, I mean I'm sittin here on the Group W bench'cause you want to know if I'm moral enough join the army, burn women,kids, houses and villages after bein' a litterbug." He looked at me andsaid, "Kid, we don't like your kind, and we're gonna send you fingerprintsoff to Washington."

And friends, somewhere in Washington enshrined in some little folder, is astudy in black and white of my fingerprints. And the only reason I'msinging you this song now is cause you may know somebody in a similarsituation, or you may be in a similar situation, and if your in asituation like that there's only one thing you can do and that's walk intothe shrink wherever you are ,just walk in say "Shrink, You can getanything you want, at Alice's restaurant.". And walk out. You know, ifone person, just one person does it they may think he's really sick andthey won't take him. And if two people, two people do it, in harmony,they may think they're both faggots and they won't take either of them.And three people do it, three, can you imagine, three people walking insingin a bar of Alice's Restaurant and walking out. They may think it's anorganization. And can you, can you imagine fifty people a day,I saidfifty people a day walking in singin a bar of Alice's Restaurant andwalking out. And friends they may thinks it's a movement.

And that's what it is , the Alice's Restaurant Anti-Massacre Movement, andall you got to do to join is sing it the next time it come's around on theguitar.

With feeling. So we'll wait for it to come around on the guitar, here andsing it when it does. Here it comes.

You can get anything you want, at Alice's Restaurant
You can get anything you want, at Alice's Restaurant
Walk right in it's around the back
Just a half a mile from the railroad track
You can get anything you want, at Alice's Restaurant

That was horrible. If you want to end war and stuff you got to sing loud.I've been singing this song now for twenty five minutes. I could sing itfor another twenty five minutes. I'm not proud... or tired.

So we'll wait till it comes around again, and this time with four partharmony and feeling.

We're just waitin' for it to come around is what we're doing.

All right now.

You can get anything you want, at Alice's Restaurant
Excepting AliceY
ou can get anything you want, at Alice's Restaurant
Walk right in it's around the back
Just a half a mile from the railroad track
You can get anything you want, at Alice's Restaurant

Da da da da da da da dum
At Alice's Restaurant


[Good, funny song if you've never heard it]


You have to wonder: Is it really worth it?

AP results

i got mine today. does anyone want to meet up and have a pity party about how bad we did?

Bowling

Yay! Bowling was lots and lots of fun! I can't believe that I actually tied with David to win the first game, tho, cause I really thought I sucked...It was really sad how no one got to a hundred, tho! Oh, well. Colin and Toni--if you really wanted to go so bad, then why didn't you?
Ok, so anyway...we have to think of something else to do this week before I go to MB. Any suggestions??
Oh, I have to give you your game back, Dannielle, so I have to see you before Friday...

Blah....

So I either really need to find a new hobby or learn how to hibernate, because I get bored way to easily, my lack of creativity is just spectacular. Anyways...I was wondering if anyone felt like bowling either this weekend, which is short notice or next weekend which is in my view very far away. And if you would like to go and can't get a ride or are broke, I'll gladly come pick you up and or pay for you. That being option one.. Option two is a few of us head down to Tickers next Friday and learn how to salsa. Whichever is fine with me we'll set up partners have a bite to eat afterwards it'll all be great and glorious fun. So hope to hear from you guys, love ya very much!

*cough*

i felt left out, so here's a song

Hate
is burning in your eyes
like hell inside your eyes
staring all the time
hate
is frozen on your lips
cold love is on your lips
screaming of lost time

~
i'm sorry i didn't mean to be that way
i'm sorry, there's no way i can repay
the injuries that start from me
the changes that will never be
~

hate
is always in your steps
but what is coming next
is not what you expected
find the loophole in the law
swear it's not what you just saw
turn and walk away

don't say things were meant to be this way
cause destiny's so easy to ignore

~chorus~

don't say there was no chance for living
don't say you're too far for forgiving
and don't, don't say, things were meant to be this way
cause destiny's so easy to ignore

hate
is burning in your eyes
like hell inside your eyes
staring into mine
hate
is frozen on your lips
i taste it on your lips
screaming for more time

~chorus~

and then i think there's some more but i forgot : )

Hi. I'm back. But not that it matters. I don't do anything anyway. And I'm leaving in two days to go to camp. Oh, I bought a huge knife today. Beware.

"Down With The Sickness"

Drowning deep in my sea of loathing
Broken your servant I kneel
It seems what's left of my human side
Is slowly changing in me

Looking at my own reflection
When suddenly it changes
Violently it changes (oh no)
There is no turning back now
You've woken up the demon in me

[Chorus:]
Get up, come on get down with the sickness [x3]
Open up your hate, and let it flow into me
Get up, come on get down with the sickness
You mother get up come on get down with the sickness
You fucker get up come on get down with the sickness
Madness is the gift, that has been given to me

I can see inside you, the sickness is rising
Don't try to deny what you feel
(Will you give in to me?)
It seems that all that was good has died
And is decaying in me

It seems you're having some trouble
In dealing with these changes
Living with these changes (oh no)
The world is a scary place
Now that you've woken up the demon in me

[Chorus x2]

(And when I dream) [x4]
No mommy, don't do it again
Don't do it again
I'll be a good boy
I'll be a good boy, I promise
No mommy don't hit me
Why did you have to hit me like that, mommy?
Dont do it, you're hurting me
Why did you have to be such a bitch
Why don't you,
Why don't you fuck off and die
Why can't you just fuck off and die
Why can't you just leave here and die
Never stick your hand in my face again bitch
FUCK YOU
I don't need this shit
You stupid sadistic abusive fucking whore
How would you like to see how it feels mommy
Here it comes, get ready to die

[Chorus (last line changed to "Madness has now come over me")]

Yeah. It sounds better than it looks judging my the lyrics.

Here is the music video if you wanna here/see it; http://www.musicvideocodes.com/?song=586 It works some of the time.



-Eric

OH WOW!

Alrighty then. I have not had a computer for like 2 weeks and it feels very good to have technology back. So yeah, I just started on my summer assignments today. Shakespeare hurts my brain. Oh yeah, and about the god saying yes thing (for dannielle lauren and chels)...I LIED. Yeah, I thought he might, but then some stuff happened, and yeah, I made someone cry, and I almost jumped off a 5th story balcony into a pool in the middle of the night but yeah. Its all good and God will never say yes. Just so you know.

So hows everyones summer going? Mine is boring as poo, and pretty pathetic. :( I have no life. BUT! I did get a new cell phone and its pretty awesome. Yay! AND!! I got a new sey flute that I think I might have said something baout before. Oh well. Anyways, I went to VA beach, and i got to go parasailing, and it wsa really awesome. I only got to go up 600 feet (coulda gone up to 1500) but my mom wouldnt let me. It was very peaceful and I loved it.

Has anyone seen the movie "Adaptation"? Holy fuckin shit. (excuse my language). It is soooooo flipping awesome. I saw it the other night and it is just "mind boggling" to quote the person who recommended it. Oh jeez, I'm talking a lot. Well anyways, for my birthday one of my friends got me a ton of plastic bugs and i hung them from my cieling and it looks pretty cool. They are like spiraling out from my fan and it makes me happy.

Oh, and to add to all of this pointless lyric posting, here is my favorite song in the entire universe. Well, at least one of the many...

Hope dangles on a string
Like slow spinning redemption
Winding in and winding out
The shine of it has caught my eye
And roped me in
So mesmerizing, so hypnotizing I am captivated
[Chorus]
I am Vindicated
I am selfish
I am wrong
I am right
I swear I'm right, I swear I knew it all along
And I am flawed
But I am cleaning up so well
I am seeing in me now the things you swore you saw yourself
So clear
Like the diamond in your ring
Cut to mirror your intentions
Oversized and overwhelmed
The shine of which has caught my eye
And rendered me so isolated, so motivated
I am certain now that
[Chorus]
So turn
Up the corners of your lips
Part them and feel my finger tips
Trace the moment, fall forever
Defense is paper thin
Just one touch and I'd be in
Too deep now to ever swim against the current
So let me slip away [3x]So let me slip against the current So let me slip away [4x][Chorus]
Slight hope
It dangles on a string
Like slow spinning redemption...


Right. I'm done being pointless now. Love Always.

Stuff

Ok, so now I'm kinda putting a stop to the song lyrics thing, sorry...

So...anybody doing anything special this month? I'm going to Myrtle Beach the 22nd and coming back like the 5th! YAY! Plus, I'm turning 15 (finally) on the 31st! I know Chels is in New York right now, but what are you guys up to?

In Response

I have no idea why you people are posting song lyrics. However, in response, i will post the lyrics to the best song of all time-no arguments, so don't even try to argue-it is pointless [to resist]

Rocky Top
Wish that I was on ol' Rocky Top

Down in the Tennessee hills

Aint' no smoggy smoke on Rocky Top

Ain't no telephone bills

Once I had a girl on Rocky Top

Half bear, other half cat

Wild as a mink, but sweet as soda pop

I still dream about that.

Rocky Top you'll always be

Home sweet home to me

Good ol' Rocky Top

Rocky Top Tennessee,

Rocky Top Tennessee

Once two strangers climbed ol' Rocky Top

Lookin' for a moonshine still

Strangers ain't come down from Rocky Top

Reckon they never will

Rocky Top you'll always be

Home sweet home to me

Good ol' Rocky Top

Rocky Top Tennessee,

Rocky Top Tennessee

Corn won't grow at all on Rocky Top

Dirt's too rocky by far

That's why all the folks on Rocky Top

Get their corn from a jar

Rocky Top you'll always be

Home sweet home to me

Good ol' Rocky Top

Rocky Top Tennessee,

Rocky Top Tennessee

I've had years of cramped-up city life

Trapped like a duck in a pen

All I know is it's a pity life

Can't be simple again

Rocky Top you'll always be

Home sweet home to me

Good ol' Rocky Top

Rocky Top Tennessee,

Rocky Top Tennessee

There you guys go-the best song of all time

GO VOLS

You know what they do to guys like us in prison

In the middle of a gun fight...
In the center of a restaurant...
They say, "Come with your arms raised high!"
Well, they're never gonna get me,
And like a bullet through a flock of doves...
To wage this war against your faith in me,
Your life...will never be the same.
On your mother's eyes, say a prayer...say a prayer!

[Chorus] Now, but I can't
And I don't know
How we're just two men as God had made us,
Well, I can't...well, I can!
Too much, too late, or just not enough of this
Pain in my heart for your dying wish,
I'll kiss your lips again.
They all cheat at cards and the checkers are lost,
My cellmate's a killer, they made me do push-ups (in drag)
But nobody cares if you're losing yourself...am I losing myself?!
Well, I miss my mom,
Will they give me the chair,
Or lethal injection, or swing from a rope if you dare;
Ah, nobody knows...all the trouble I've seen! [Chorus]
To your room...
What they ask of you
Will make you want to say, "So long..."
Well, I don't remember,
Why remember...YOU?!
Do you have the keys to the hotel?!
'Cause I'm gonna string this motherfucker on fire! (FIRE!!)
Life is but a dream for the dead,
And well I, I won't go down by myself,
But I'll go down with my friends.
Now now now now...now now now...now now now!!

Vacation

I like vacation, i went to a resort in PA. called nemacolin. it was so much fun, i played paintball and shot skeet, and went rock climbing and bike riding and watched fireworks, it was soooo cool. Oh and i rode in a hummer and saw a house made by frank lloyd wright. it was awesome. I love nemacolin. AND i won a free 50 minute massage in a raffle, next time you win a massage, take it. Its really cool, unless you get a really hot misuse girl and your like oh my god, then its way more than cool, its fricking awesome.

Happy Fourth

Well guys, it is the 4th of July. In case you forgot or something.

I hope you all take this day to look at other countries in the world and be truly thankful that we get to celebrate a holiday by blowing stuff up [in a sense].

Also, look over to Britain, where they are all sad and distraught on this great day-and laugh at them and their incompetence.

Anyway...

I hope ya all have a great fourth of July.


God bless America

Fantasy...

...Baseball. For any of you out there that want to play Diamond Daily (a type of fantasy baseball, where you just select a player for each day and then get credit in the Triple Crown categories for how he does) can play in the league I made.
It's at ESPN.com. On the left of the page there is a column that has the sports in it, look for "Baseball" and next to it should be "Fantasy," click "Fantasy," then find your way to "Diamond Daily." You have to make an ESPN.com name (which is free), and then join my league.

Posting for the sake of posting

Yay Lauren I'm glad your home, I was getting all lonely without you and Chelsea, even though you've only been gone for three days, Chels still has another two weeks. :( Oh well hope she's having fun....
Well it's not really all that late I'm just bored and thought I'd come and say hi to everyone, so hello everyone! Today was kinda bland, we went and got chinese again, because no one wants to cook, and I had to go in and get it by myself because my mom is embarrased for yelling at the little chinese man who works there over a soda. I played cello for like an hour because I suck and am only 4th chair. And I also found out today we're not going to San Antonio until the first week of August, I have been thinking this entire time we were leaving Sunday! Alright well I'm gonna go and do my silly musician thing and vibe with some candles..(if you play any instrument/sing, especially if your in strings, you know what I mean) Night all!

It's Good To Be Home

Well, I just got home from a three day trip to Nags Head! YAY! I was with a total of 14 family members in a huge rental beach house, so it was really fun, even tho they did get a bit annoying at times...It stormed a ton off and on the whole week, so the water was FREEZING COLD, and the waves were huge. Plus there were jelly fish floating EVERYWHERE in the water, so you had to be wary of those...(Ha, do I know what happens when they are around...Haha) And of course my two cousins had to drag my sis and I along to go look for hott girls on the beach (Dusty is 16, and such a playa!)...Suprisingly, tho, there were absolutely NO hot guys... : ( !! I always did like Myrtle Beach better... (we have a beach house there)

So, GOD IS ABOUT TO SAY YES, HUH, TONI??!! YOU HAVE TO TELL ME ALL THE JUICY DETAILS! God, a lot can happen in three days of no internet access...wow...PLEASE TELL ME THAT PLAN B IS FINALLY IN EFFECT!! Please!

A book

Has anyone ever read Catcher in the Rye, by J.D. Salinger? I started reading it, and from what I've read so far it's a really funny book. You all should read it, although it has quite a few naughty words, so maybe you should stay away from it, Colin.

West Virginia

For all those who care about hill billies, you will be glad to know that I am going to be in West Virginia all next week helping to fix their houses and whatnot. Therefore, I will not be here, so if you are planning to give any more Canada Day phone calls please restrain yourself, for they will be in vain.

Report Card

I just got my report card today because the stupid people at Chancellor lost them all and had to print them again. I got a 31 (does not dress out/participate in PE) from Mr. Smith, and I was wondering if he gave anyone else this.

a notice

today is CANADA DAY! doncha know, eh?

may your life be filled with canadians, maple syrup, mooses, and all the rest that canada has to offer.

if you want a personal canada day phone call, leave your number and i will give you one. i tried calling a lot of people but only like 3 picked up. the rest, i am sure, are celebrating canada day with joyous pic-nics and maple tree tapping, eh?

~riese
O Canada!

O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.

A Message for Dannielle...

Alright, I loved that story a lot. I think I get it.

But THIS is the real message.

GOD IS ABOUT TO SAY YES....in a way.

Just thought you'd like to know. :) And for those of you who don't know about this, don't bother to even ask. Just saving your time from useless comments.
