Sup sup. Well, this trimester has not been my trimester at all, for I received a Merit+ on my history paper and a Merit- on my Spanish test today. I can do much much better than that. I dunno, maybe it's bad habits or whatnot, but I just didn't get it done this trimester. I can still get it together though, just gotta work hard and I can pull out a Merit card this tri, and then next tri I can finish up this shazzle and get my first Honors card. Let's play, bitch. Moving on from that mini-rant, today was a decent day besides that, since I got a 22 outta 25 on my history quiz, and I scored a goal in lacrosse today. I was on D, and I got the midcourt shot to go in. Woohoo. But damn, you should see OD or Charlie play, they can do spinmoves and all these finesse moves. Once again, Charlie got hit again today, twice in fact. I feel sorry for him, cuz that's been two weeks in a row now. Anyways, Paul Ryan is the new billiards club president, but I wanted Matt Meyer to be voted in cuz he had the best ticket/ideas in my opinion. Today in billiards I played subpar, going 1-3. And I talked to a girl for a short while today on the bus. Said hi, asked her something, and then her stop came. Didn't even get her name. Ah wellz, it's a start. Tomorrow again.

Sup sup! Well well well, another year has passed in my life, and I think I've developed a lot during the past year. I'm certainly not as mature as I will be when I'm say 30 something, but I'm getting along. Yuuup, I have reached the age of 16 as of 5 something on January 30. Yup yup, just another 365 days and bam! I can get into rated R movies without sneaking in. Woohoo. Well, today was a good day, I felt rather good cuz I got some good hours of sleep in. In addition, I borrowed 3 tapes today, and instead of doing my American Studies report, I watched all three of the tapes since I had very lil homework. Very good tapes indeed. And no, they weren't porn dammit! Aight, first up was the Original Kings of Comedy, and that was pretty funny. I don't like some of their styles, I'm thinking of modeling myself after Conan O'Brien. He's the man in comedic ish man. Funny lil man. Anyways, that was pretty good, but I don't think it was too funny. Half of it was not great, but Cedric the Entertainer and Bernie Mac tore it up when they got on the mike. That DL Hughley guy is not funny at all to me. He talks to fast, and he had to turn to dissing audience members for laughs. That's just not the style that I like. Next movie I watched was SNL's Best of Eddie Murphy. That was not that great either. Some were pretty damn funny, especially the first skit, where he disguised himself as a white dude. And damn, he really did look like a white dude. A 40 something year old white dude, that was maaad funny. But dammit, in a coupla years, they gotta make SNL's Best of Jeopardy. Those are the freaking funniest skits on the planet. Sean Connery versus Alex Trebek, oh man, that is soooo hilarious. Stuff like, "And what do you wage Connery?" He wrote: "Suck it, Trebek!" That is some of the funniest shit I've ever heard in my life. I was like laughing for days after when I thought about it. Anyways, the last movie was Swingers. That is one of the most informative movies for an aspiring DJ ever. It has the mindset down. You're the huge bear with claws and fangs, the girl is the helpless bunny. Go in and strike fiercely and no fear. Oh, and don't call early. Wait at least 3 days. But I knew that already, so that's good. And I want to learn how to dance that spinning stuff. You know, spin, spin, yadda yadda? Nevermind, I can't explain it, watch the freaking movie. Maybe when I'm older I'll enter a class. Cuz all I know is grinding and the penguin waddle (aka slowdance). That can suffice for now, but dammit, when I get married, I'm sure as hell not going to be doing the fucking waddle. Get some tango or foxtrot or some other thing up in the hizzouse. That's what Ponterotto always says. Stuff like, "Let's get this shizzay started up in the hizzouse!" Hilarious stuff like that. He's always got quips. Good stuff. Well, to sum up, I'm 16, I didn't get birthday punches (Woohoo), and I loved the movies I borrowed. Dammit, I gotta talk to a girl.

WOOHOOO! I get extra sleep tonight cuz i have 9:40 advisement tomorrow!

Sup sup! Well, today was a rather nice day. Once again, it was beautiful weather outside. Let's review the day: wake up, fell miserable. Blah blah, study for chem, kick ass in chem test. blah blah, Go to b-boy club, where I bust my lower back again by not cushioning my fall with my feet. Well I've learned my lesson. Oh, and I got like 6 steps on my turtle today! Yesssss! Getting closer and closer to turtle power! Oh, and I finally found a new font I like for AIM. And it took me only 5 mins to find it. Good stuff. Well, I don't have an overload of homework tonight unlike the past few wks, so I'm just going to finish up my homework, then relax or some shazzle. Tomorrow I might even borrow a tape or two from the library. I need to work on my funniness or whatever the word is. . . oh yeah! Humor! lolz So I'mma go borrow The Original Kings/Queens of Comedy so I can get a taste of some good stuff. And I want to borrow that movie, Swingers, cuz I read that it has some DJ techniques/mindsets/attitudes displayed by one of the characters.

Sup sup. Well, it seems that my words here have been brought out in me in the real world, for now I regularly say "Argh." Kooky eh? (sigh) Right now, sophomore year is a big bitch. I have like 5-7 papers due in the next 2 or three weeks, and I even have that English paper due on Wednesday. (sarcastic woohoo). On the bright side, I think I did well on the Spanish test today! Oh, but I bombed, and I mean totally bombed the English quiz too. I need to finish studying Chem. There is waaaaay too much work in Regis. This is reeeally a piece of shat. Aight, in 5 mins I'll finish studying Chem. For the rest of this tri, I'm due for basically Merits aka B to B+ for all the subjects I think. Except if I do really well on the English paper(s) coming up, or don't bomb the Theo/Math tests. Then I possibly might get an Honors, aka A, in those classes. Well, there's always third tri, and I believe I have the capability to get an Honors card then. I'm sleepy, yet . . . I must study fucking Chem!

Suuuup. Well, I'm kinda pissed right now. It's sooooo beautiful outside, and I'm stuck in here cuz I have to study . . . bleh. This ish is horrible. It's times like these that I wished I went to an easier school where I could relax and have fun and stuff. But I've got to do this. For me. I'm not going to stay inside for nothing. I'm gonna ace that Spanish test. That's my goal. I'm weary, but I can do it. Ready to rumble.

Heeeey. Today's been a rather good day . . . I woke up around 11 and ate brunch. Then Rob, Chui, and Nestor came about 40 minutes early than they were supposed to, but it was ok since I had already showered and gotten the stuff ready. We broke a bit, and we FINALLY figured out a name for the crew: Azn Innovation. We were thinking about naming it Azn Innovation and a Black Guy, since Eben isn't azn, but we decided that he's an azn in spirit so that's fine. Today I did a much better windmill! I did another full rotation, and if I keep working on it, eventually I'll get a couple of rotations so I can kick some ass on the floor. After breaking, we played House of the Dead 2 for a while until we died, and then NBA2K2. It was Rob and myself versus Chui and Leo (he came while we were playing HoTD2). They were the Knicks, we were the Pacers. Daaaamn we kicked some mighty ass. We beat them by like 41 points, and then we beat them by a lot in the streetball 2 on 2 mode. After that, we played some b-ball with Nick. The teams were me, Chui, and Nestor vs the other three dudes. We lost three games in a row. Argh! However, my driving was really good today, I had a really good first step. My shot was broken though, but that's possibly cuz the front of the rim is flat (the rim is seriously sooo busted). We made comebacks all three times, but we fell short. Ah wellz. After ballin, we finished up watching the Knicks game against the Bucks, and that was pretty fun hooting and yelling and making play predictions. The Knicks ended up winning in double OT! Woohoo. Then I read Ethan Frome. That is seriously one of the most depressing books ever written. It's all about this dude who's in love with this honey, but he's married and can't get out of his situation. Argh! What a depressant. It could even put a scowl on Martha Stewart's face. Geez. However, it WAS a decent read. The author wrote it well, and the story was engaging. But I just didn't enjoy it due to the really negative nature of the story. Now I have to write a paper for English. Argh! But I don't want to. Cuz I have idea how to articulate it. Have you noticed that I am starting to improve my choice of words? That's cuz I'm not tired even though it's like 12:50 or something, cuz I took a two hour nap before reading Ethan Frome.

Argh! Am I the Master of Procrastination or what? I just realized I have to study for two tests, do Math, read a book, do a composition, and write a paper. Argh! And I thought I had little homework this weekend. Aight, so I guess I'll eat breakfast now, and then do Math, eat lunch, start my Spanish composition, and then my friends will come over to break. Rob said he's coming today, so I guess I can put him back on my mailing list. After breaking, we'll prolly play videogames or b-ball for a while. Once they leave, I can read the book I have to read, and also do my English paper. Then tomorrow all I'll have to do is study, study, study. Did I mention study? Oh, and also do my Spanish composition. Yup, it's gonna be a tad rough. But I can do it. I shoulda done some freaking work last night so I wouldn't be under such a tight schedule now. Argh

Sup sup. Soooo, today was a rather kickass day. Fun stuff. Aight, so I wake up, eat, shower, etc. I go get my passport pic taken cuz I need my passport renewed soon. I look pretty damn good in that picture, not bad at all. I go to Chui's, and he shows me the new game he got, Max Payne. Very cool game, Matrix ish all over the place. Hot stuff. We take the train to Forest Hills, and there we see a group of decent lookin girls, and Eben and I want to go talk to em. But Chui says, Let's do it later, we'll probably find some more. Well guess what? We didn't. Grrr. That's my one gripe of the day. However, when we ate at Wendy's, there was this one hot girl, but I couldn't get eye contact since I was all the way across the room. Maybe next time I should approach? Yeah, I'm slowly learning the ropes of this stuff. Then we go see The Fellowship of the Rings, and it was actually not as bad as some people said it would be. In fact, I'd prolly rate it an 8.5 out of 10 as a standalone movie, and once the rest of the movies are released, we'll see how the whole series rates. The action scenes were hooooot shazzle, with arrows, and axes, and swords, OH MY!!! The only bad part about the movie is its ending. It's a rather boring ending to such an action-packed adventure. But it was still an overall satisfying experience. Then Chui, Leo, and I went to play billiards with Rob while Eben went to the library to stack books cuz he had volunteered earlier. I won all my games, except the last one in which I was paired with Leo in a team game (who sunk the 8-ball in the middle of the game and lost it for us). My shot was mostly on today, so that was good. Next week I plan to rock the billiards club house! There was a group of three hot girls playing on a table far away from us, and we were thinking of talking to em, but then we see these HUGE guys talking to them (prolly their bfs). Soooo, that was the end of that. After playing billiards for about an hour and a half, I finally go home, eat dinner, clean the house, and voila! Here I am.

Sup sup!!! Well, today was a rather nice day, not too overwhelming, not too boring. Just right. Let's review. I go to school, and on the 4 uptown, I see this cuuuteass chick. I would rate her about an 8.5 outta ten cuz she's got a good face. I was getting up the calzones to talk to her, but I just couldn't. AFCness right there. Ok, I gotta start small. Tomorrow I'm going out with a few buds to watch a movie and hang out and ish, so maybe we can find some cuties on the street we can practice on. Continuing the day, it ends up I DID bomb the Spanish test with a 79. I know, it ain't the worst grade ever, but I really want to do well in Span this tri. Moving on, we DID have intramurals today. And I started and played the whole game. Woohoo. I actually got my hands on the ball a bit more today, but due to my lack of practice I didn't feel confident in getting the ball. I coulda gotten it multiple times if I had just cut to the open spot. So we ended up losing by 15. Bleh. What's worse, the other team got on fire in the final three minutes, so instead of us losing by 4, we lost by 15. And Quang missed 10 outta 11 freethrow shots! But I don't blame him for our loss though, cuz I missed my two freethrows, one clunked off the front and the other to the right. The only good aspect of my game today was I was getting tons of rebounds. I got a coupla defensive, and a coupla offensive. Good stuff. I got an Honors on my Theo paper, a High Honors on my Chem paper, and afterschool I played b-ball. I did rather well, I made a few shots, missed a few, but overall good games. After playing, I went to watch the remainder of the Regis JV game, and the other team was dominating em. We lost by like 15. Ah wellz. So then I went with Ed to Mickey D's. There I witnessed one of the most interesting things ever. I saw my first CATFIGHT!!!! Woohoo! Crazy ish yo. This group of girls get all up in the face of this other group of girls, and one girl says, "I saw you looking at me from across the room. You got beef girl!?" or something to that extent. And then they start trashtalking and ish, and bam. One girl rushes the other, and let the games begin! Broken nails, grabbing at hair, and slashing here and there. After about 10 seconds worth of this, I step in with some other brave Regian to restrain the girls. One girl tore out some of the other girl's hair. Craaaaazy ish yo. It was a scene of utter chaos. Wow. So anyways, afterwards, a lot of other guys come to eat, and I hang out with em. I learned a new game to play. Get a straw, roll up the two sides in a special way, and then someone flicks it to break it. Mindless competition stuff. Anyways, Richie was freaking hilarious today. He borrowed some dude's saxophone, and though he couldn't play, he gave us a good laugh or two at his attempts. Then came the funniest moment of all. He did this to one of the other guys. Aight, he plays a note, and sings something like, "You are soooo beautiful . . ." and then he plays some more notes. He pauses, and then sings, "because . . . YOU'RE BUTTERFACE!!!" That was soooo funny!!! I dunno, it doesn't make sense at all, but it was reeeally funny cuz of the way everyone was laughing and the dude hit Rich on the shoulder. He got sung to in front of his girl . . . haha. Great stuff right there. Then on the street, Jeff pulls down his pants and walks the block with his pants down. lolz Crazy ish. Well, that was an eventful day.

You know, I just realized I'm rather hyper right now. So I think I'mma go dance. I got one of those keychain light things from Coconuts (mmm, sweet coconuts) on Sunday, and they are niiiice. One of them is hard to keep pressed though. They are good for practice and yay, now I can use em at dances and break out my raving skills. I just gotta practice the eating the light, and then spitting it out again routine. Good stuff. Dammit, but I want to go to sleep early! Yeah, I think sleep is more important at this moment. And plus I gotta get up early tomorrow morn cuz my dad can't drop me off to el metro. Argh. Shazzle.

Y'know, one thing I forgot to mention today was that there was this freaking smelly oriental man sitting next to me on the bus on the way home. He reeked of bum. It was kinda bad (ahem, understatement of the century). Excellent, I am starting to get the hang of this sarcasm shazzle. I like that word: shazzle. It makes a nice replacement for shit or shiznit. Shazzle rules! Kooky boy, I am. I had a strange convo with Candíce again. It was a convo about nothing basically. Warming hands by massaging through the internet. That's a totally new concept to me. Hey, it could work. Hmm, oh yeah. Sanchez read my blog today because Eben suggested it to her for some reason. She laughed a lot cuz of something. Lemme ask her right now. Well, as usual, the girl is being so mysterious about whatever. Ah wellz. Kooky conversation again. Two kooky conversations in one day. My life is kooky. I am kooky. This is kooky. Why the heck am I writing this shazzle? Shazzle is kooky! I'm kooky

Excellent. Muahahahahahaha. I have sooo little homework today compared to what I had to do yesterday. Very good stuff. Woohoo. Now then, I haven't started my hw yet, but I plan to in a few mins. Honest! Well, I bummed out on my Spanish quiz today, really badly. And it was supposed to be an easy quiz, not some hardass one. Freak, I take full responsibility for that one, cuz I never really learned the mandatos irregular verbs. I must memorize them. Hmm, oh yeah. I got a 1230 on the PSATs this year, not too bad, not too great. But better than last year at least. I improved 100 points from last year. Good stuffies. Umm, oh yeah. I absolutely stunk in lacrosse today. Damn, I was on offense, had the ball in stick, and had an open shot at goal. I shoot . . . and I did it so hard that the ball popped straight up in the air. Well that was bad. Next week I'll be a defenseman. Maybe I can get better at offense though . . . just have to get better at scooping up the ball. Hmm oh yeah! I saw Sanchez and Stephanie today. I was on the bus and they were walking though, so I couldn't converse with them. Ah wellz. I'm gonna get my homework done and go to bed early, cuz I need some sleep. On the ride home today, I had no seat for once, and I started falling asleep while standing up. When my knees went loose, I almost fell on the floor for goodness sakes. Bad stuff right there. One good thing about today was that I did pretty damn well on the Math test, or at least that's what I think. Y'know, I was just reading my post last night, and that was a strange post. Ah wellz. Okay, tomorrow I'm going to actually continue the 30/30 I hope, as long as I get some good sleep tonight. I can do it, I can kick some ass. Damn, I almost forgot all about the 30/30. Silly me

AAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!! I FINALLY FINISHED MY FREAKING HOMEWORK!!! AAAAAAAAAH!!!!!! It was rather rough tonight. My roughest night of weekday homework ever. It took roughly 5 freaking hours of hard work to finish. ARRRRGH!!! My vision's getting blurry for goodness sakes! (sigh) I'm so tired, but I still have to study maybe 20 mins more so I can be ready for the math test that was delayed til Wednesday. ARRGH!!!! And my neck hurts. If this goes on for another week, I'm gonna go to the doctor, cuz I've been getting neck pains after that hit to the head during Quest. I'm tired. But I can kick some ass I believe. Time to get this show on the road. Let's see, tomorrow will be a relatively easy day. Hopefully I can do well on the English quiz and Math test. I won't have too much homework tomorrow since I've got most of the ish that's going to be due on Thursday done already. I'm so proud of myself. :-D And I'm rather tired. Damn tired. This is harsh. Now I'm just rambling. I need freaking sleep. I pray to God I don't have intramurals tomorrow. I want intramurals on Thursday! Then I'll be calm, well rested, and happy. Everything But the Girl is very sooooothing music. I like the "Missing" dance remix. Good stuff. Maybe I might buy the best of EBTG CD. They have nice sooothing songs. Mmmmmmm. You know what's high energy? That Footloose song! I downloaded that quite a while ago, and it still gives me a boost of energetic happiness. Just gotta make sure I don't play it out, cuz then I get . . . I forgot the damn word I'm thinking of . . . you know, bacteria does it too . . . ummm . . . oh yeah! Resistant! That's the word. I have no idea what the heck the lyrics to the song are, but I know a word here and there. Hmm, there's something else I wanted to say, but I forgot it. Doh! Hmmm . . . OH YEAH!!! Now I remember. I'm gonna make an account of something I remembered today for some reason, and reflecting back on it, I did rather well, except for one crucial thing. I wanna analyze my mistakes cuz I don't think I ever did so. Aight, heregoes. Well, I remember it was in seventh grade or something, and I had a crush on this girl I think. I was soooo damn nerdy back then, I played chess at lunchtime versus a friend for goodness sakes! Those were the nerdy days . . . so anyways, I had this crush on a girl. Kristine I think her name was. So aight, I remember liking her a LOT, and that's my first mistake. Back then, being an AFC (Average Frustrated Chump), I let myself become infatuated. It's a great feeling, but it's horrible at the same time, y'know what I mean? Anyways, I had everything going well, I even got kino going for goodness sakes! I remember one time in the schoolyard that she actually came over to my friend and I after we had just finished a game of chess on my electronic chess board and she wanted to see it. So I let her hold it, and somehow I started massaging her hand for some reason. I don't know why I did it, but she let me, and that was a good move by me. After that and a poem I made for her, I'm pretty sure I had her. BUT, foolish me took the advice of my friend Nicholas, and called her up and said some line to her I forget. I remember it was a freaky line, and that it was pretty bad. Anyways, that was my first experience in the world of AFCness. Freshman year, more AFCness at dances, not getting girls numbers when they were HIGHLY interested (a freaking girl initiated conversation with me at a bus stop and I didn't ask her digits!), and basic stupidity on my part. This year has been a good but rough transition on my way to becoming a Don Juan. Aight, here's the deal. Right now, in high school, most girls are all about looks. They don't give you a chance unless you're really hot (these are the hot ones I'm talking about here). Soooo, I can start developing DJ skills in HS, but seeing as I'm basically average looking (I'm realistic, it's my job), I plain old HAVE to work on my DJ (Don Juan, for you slow ones out there) skills if I want to catch some hot girls. I must learn the principles of the Don Juan: Don't become extremely attached to girls, play the field unless you want to get into a commited relationship (that is, if you've found a really nice catch), and be confident in yourself. Where the hell am I spouting this from? Some site I found, really good. It's changed the way I looked at things. I'm starting small, but in a coupla months, I'm hoping to be good enough to stop girls in the middle of the street to initiate a convo. I've analyzed a bit into my developing DJ skills, and the last dance I talked about, I prolly coulda gotten the girls digits. Just moved too fast, that's all. Slow and smooth is the key. I've got dancing down, I prolly can't strip, but I got the hip movement going, and I'm coordinated when I'm dancing so I don't look totally foolish. But, my downfall is conversational skills. It's been quite a while since I've had some good conversation (face to face I mean) with a girl. Anyways, I gotta work on conversational skills. Especially my teasing. Aight, so let's see here. Next time at a dance, I'll get dancing with a girl. Kino, grinding, yadda yadda. Good stuff. And then, I tell her I wanna talk, so we go into a corner somewhere, and that's where I'm stuck. I gotta learn to make conversation. Heck, I'm not such a great talker amongst guys for goodness sakes. Okay, that's my focus of this week. Make good conversation with some of the guys in my class that does not have to pertain to school or sports. Dammit, that's gonna be rough. Oooooooh. Sleeeeeeeeeeep. Sleep calls me. Noooooow.

What's up? I'm pretty damn tired. I need a tad more sleep. And I'm not gonna be getting it tonight cuz I have to finish my crapload of Spanish homework and I still have other homework to do. Y'know, ever since Quest (where they fed us like every 3 or 4 hours), I've been hungry all the time. Shoot, I gotta get back to normal eating habits. I'm sleepy . . . yet I must do work. I can get it done though. One thing I've read recently that is great to apply to me is: Compete against yourself. Cuz I'm always competing against other people, like say pertaining to grades, or maybe basketball skills, or macking skills, etc.

Sup. Well, today has been work work work so far, and hardly time to relax. And I STILL have a crapload of homework to do. Yay. Anyway, I finished the history paper, correcting my chem paper, and I just started thinking about how to organize my "History of Breakdance" presentation for computer class. Argh, and I still have my crapload of Spanish to do (it's literally gonna take about 2-4 hours to complete), my Chem labs, and also some studying for the Math test tomorrow. And they say that Junior year is harder than this??? Kill me now please. Oh and one more thing I found while I was resting from work for a while: www.brokensaints.com Damn some of the episodes take long to load, but is it worth it! Yup yup, good stuff. I've only gotten to the second chapter, but it's pretty good so far. And if you have broadband connection, you are one lucky biatch.

Well. Today is going to be rough. I finished only the first page of what I wanted to do yesterday, and I didn't even start my history paper. That paper is going to take up my morning, then I'll eat lunch, do Spanish for about 4 hours, and then do the paper I started yesterday. Wow, my procrastination has not left me yet, but it's gotten a bit better since I was able to actually do some stuff yesterday. But then again, I went to bed at 2, so what does that say? Geez, too much work, it's overwhelming

Mmm, Flipz are good. Anyways, I finished watching Rambo First Blood: Part II at about 1:35 last night. I woke up about 8:20 and proceeded to get ready to go to mass and teach CCD. I go to Mass, and then Brian was back this week at CCD so we actually did stuff this week. He was pretty strict yet playful with the kids, so I'll try to mimic that sorta stuff. After CCD finished, Chui, Leo, and I played a coupla rounds of HORSE. For those of you who don't know what that is, it's basically a game where you shoot, and if it goes in, the others have to do the same thing, or else they get a letter (H, O, etc). Once you get the full HORSE, you're out. So first game, I'm out first, and Leo's get first. I forgot who won the next round. And then last round I win. Woohoo. I'm starting to get my range down. And what's funnier is that I didn't have my glasses today because I was in such a rush to get out of the hosue so as not to be late for Mass. Kooky boy, I am.

Dammit! (sigh) Well, I realized this afternoon that I still need a bit of work on keeping calm, especially with my sister. Cuz she always seems to be defiant and bitchy and I just want to choke the living hell outta her! Keep calm. (sigh) Well, hopefully she'll grow outta the bitch phase by the time she reaches college. (Imagines Jenny in high school) :Shudders: Yuup, the next few years are going to be bad, unless I can learn to stop fighting and bickering and getting into conflicts with her. Besides that, my life is getting in order, I plan to be more social, and I'm getting ready to make it all good. And I just realized I have to do a History paper in addition to my other homework, so this is going to be rough. I didn't even watch Rambo First Blood: Part II yet!! Must watch now, and then sleep. Oh one more thing: vanilla pudding is too good.

Yay, I did what I wanted to do today. Only a few people know what it was, though. It was satisfying, and I'm glad I did it. Now I plan to make it regular. On to the next topic for today. My maturity and patience has grown a lot over the retreat because I dunno, I'm more relaxed now or something. Well, it's sorta hard when you've matured and the people around you (namely, my sister), have not. I mean, we were going to eat breakfast, she gets ultra pissed I interrupted her watching her saturday morning cartoons, and voila. I felt myself getting pissed, but I remained calm and maybe I got through to her. We'll see. And you know what else? I have what I would have considered a freaking crapload of freaking homework before, and for some reason I'm not worried about it. I mean, I'm not panicked or getting all stressed about it. I dunno, but it feels good. (sigh) Oh and some thing I forgot to mention about Quest that I'm allowed to: I got a total of 1 (!!!) second of warm water during Quest CX. Do you know how rough it is to take a shower that is ice cold? It was rather hilarious in fact, when you see all these supposedly macho guys go take a shower and start yelling and cursing at the top of their lungs. Hahaha! That was great. Oh and football was really fun. TACKLE football. Hehehe. I'm still a tad sore. Chapman was the freaking MVP, cuz his running skills were amazing. He just barreled through anyone who got in his way. Jack and I were the only ones to take him down (and those two times were the only times he went down. Every other carry he ran for a TD). The most amazing run I think, was when he ran straight into the depths of the other team. They all had a hand on him, he was surrounded, and instead of going forward, he ran backwards, and then went around the group for the touchdown! Crazy! Now I'm gonna take a nice warm shower. Hehe

Ah damn! I didn't do what I promised myself to do tonight. I'll do it tomorrow night.

I'm back from my school retreat, Quest. I was part of Quest CX, and it was seriously one of the most life changing experiences I've ever gone through. As you can see I have changed the name of my blog from, "The Social Metanoia of J-Rey," to "The Metanoia of J-Rey," b/c now, not only am I going through development socially, but I have reflected on life and religion and relationships and a lot of things in general. Thus, I believe that I have endured a spiritual metanoia, because before Quest, my faith was basically nonexistent anymore. I went through the motions at Mass, not really caring about it, and I never prayed to God anymore. No time I thought. But now I know that you need God, who's someone to talk to when nobody else is around. And I'm now ready to live life again, determined. I've got it back, God's got my back, my family has my back, and I'm ready. Well, that's about all I can say, because some people who haven't attended Quest yet at my school might read this, so I can't divulge any details. And anyways, the best stuff is confidential, nobody is allowed to know besides us. Going into Quest, I thought it would be utter BS, and just a time to spend away from home for a coupla days. But it was that and much much more. All I can say is wow, and thank you God.

Sup sup. I know I wanted to write something interesting, but I forgot what it was. It popped into my head in school I think. Ah wellz. Anyways, I feel really tired right now, prolly cuz I got 5 hours of sleep last night for no good reason. I was watching Jay Leno, and Usher was on. Daaaamn yo, he's a maad good dancer. Maybe in a few years he might be on par with Michael Jackson. He's got some kickass moves, especially his animation move where he puts his hands in front of him and start moving them so they look like it's all choppy and stuff. I gotta learn that, it's toooo hot. lolz Umm, hmm, well Quest is tomorrow, which is a retreat that I have to go to with my classmates. Two nights I stay in the retreat house, and I miss two days of school! Woohoo. Oh, and today I played about 20 mins of b-ball, and I really sucked. Ryan was on today, and he kicked our asses in two on two. The intramural game today was also really good. Noel's team won on a fantastic heartbreak shot. The other team was up by two with 5 seconds to go, Noel's team inbounds, this dude whose name I forget shoots the three . . . AND IT'S GOOD!!! Crazy ish yo lolz. I am sleepy dammit. And then afterschool, I had to do a freaking 12 sentence Spanish composition for Ms. Basile. Grrr, I'm pretty damn pissed off. Well, anyways, I gotta do my hw. Aight Peace 1

Well, I was just skimming Alie's blog, and she's got a coupla questions about Noah and his bigass ark. Well, one thing that will help with the story is that it's not true, not to be taken literally, totally figuratively. Second, there are two Noah stories, written by two dudes names the Yahwist and Elohist. I forgot the differences, but I remember that the intended meaning for one of them is that it was supposed to explain why there are seasons. And I know this only because I have a Theo exegesis class in school where I do these sorta thingamabobs. Oh and if you were joking, then my bad, it's kinda hard to tell if you're sarcastic when it's just text (unless made very obvious and blunt)
On to other things. First off, I got an 88 on my Chem midterms! I could've done a point or two better to get an Honors, but I'm still happy with the high Merit. Once again, my lucky sweater does not fail me. Now I just gotta use it for the day that I have that big Spanish test . . . Anyways, we lost intramurals today by two points in overtime. I did ok overall, I was freaking nervous again. I don't know why, I get all stressed out for some reason. And that's when I make mistakes. I only made one mistake this time around though, in the first half when I did a behind the back to Christian but caused a turnover leading to a fastbreak layup. That ended the half, and I was pretty pissed at myself, and Dono was yelling at me saying stuff like, "What the hell were you thinking!? You're in the backcourt, there's no need to do fancy stuff!" and other ish like that. But he gets his later, hold up. Anyways, in the final two minutes we're down by like 5, and we make a comeback. Dono came to the freethrow line with us down by one, and he choookes! Hahahaha, I don't see anyone yell in his face. I could've been saying shit to him for choking like he did to me, but alas, for some reason I'm not a very vicious person. Our star b-ball player, Ryan, had a horrible day, only getting twelve points, and getting a couple of airballs, including the possible gamewinner at the end in overtime. And John OD was the clutch man for 2E-2. Dammit, we were up 21 to 19 with 30 to go, and he gets a fadeaway shot to tie it. Then it gets sent to OT, and at the buzzer of OT, he wins it with ANOTHER freaking fadeaway. Booooooo!!! lolz We all felt rather in the dumps afterwards, but we recovered, and plus we still have another shot at it. I'm gonna play b-ball and practice a lot during lunchtime tomorrow. Our next game is next week, and I think I can develop some key aspects we need. I'm not confident with my handles, so I've got to get that under control cuz we sometimes need another guy to bring up the ball, and I'm gonna need to work on freethrows, cuz our team absolutely SUCKS at freethrows. Another thing I gotta do is drive well. I got one freaking shot off today, but it clunked off the rim, and what's more is that I had an open path for a strong drive to the basket. Grrr. Ah wellz, next week I can get it under control I hope, since each time I'm getting a lil less nervous in performing, cuz after the bad mistake in the first half, I got some good plays in the second half, with two consecutive steals and a rebound or two. I think I also did rather well defending John OD, but in the end for some reason Dave got more playtime than me. I think it's because of that mistake I did and coach (aka Ponterotto) got pissed at me. Ah wellz. But damn, Dave had position a lot of times and he didn't get the rebound. He didn't even jump for goodness sakes! lolz I just gotta do better. That's my aim. Afterschool I bought the padding for my new kicks, a portable friendly ballpump, some more sports socks, and two dumbells I can use to develop a little bit more upper body strength. I have no homework I have to do tonight, but if I don't do any tonight, I'm screwed tomorrow. Thus, I'm gonna finish studying History (which will take about an hour), and then continue by making Spanish index cards and reading over some English stuff. Aight Peace 1

AHHHH, YEEAAH BITCH!!! I finally finished studying for the big Chem mid-terms tomorrow, and I feel powerful. It took me like 3 1/2 hours or something like that, but I finished! I'mma gonna kick some ass tomorrow. Woohoo. I know I'm gonna pass, so I'm happy with that. YEEEEEEEAH!!! I'm hyped, I'm hyped, I'm hyped! And tomorrow are intramurals versus the evil, veddy veddy veddy eeeeeevil TWO, EEEEE, TWOOOOOO!!! But if we're anywhere as good as we were on Thursday, we're gonna annihalate 'em. Muahahahaha. You know, thank God that I'm not a freshman anymore, cuz studying for the Bio middies last year was freaking hell on earth. I had to study (ahem, cram) for 8 fucking hours straight last year. Do you know how painful that is? I almost went crazy I tell you. I was soo freaking tired, and my eyes were getting blurry, and I had a feeling of despair. Horrible, just plain horrible. Well, tomorrow, the plan is to kick some Chem ass, kick some 2E-2 ass, get my Spanish hw done since I forgot one of my books in school (DOH!), and then afterschool grab a bite to eat since I'm not gonna have lunch b/c of intramurals. After eating, I'll go get some foot padding for my new sneakers, buy another pair of leather gloves, do my hw, and study for History. Good stuff. Aight Peace 1

Sup sup. Well, today so far has been a tad hectic. Lessee here, I woke up went to Mass, and then to CCD. Kristina was there again, she's pretty cool. Brian was absent today, so I, on just my second week of CCD, had to take control of a crazy fifth grade class and teach em. I had very little help from Brian's mom, who stopped in to help with the class, but overall it was a good class though, even though we didn't do anything new since I didn't know what these guys had done already. Dammit, I forgot to tell them to memorize the Act of Contrition for next week. Ah wellz. I got a haircut afterwards, got home around 1:15, ate, fixed some stuff for my Theo paper and my American Studies works cited page. Finally, I'm done with that, and all I gotta do now is finish up my Spanish, which I didn't even start but I was supposed to finish yesterday. (sigh) Procrastination, oh the hate hate relationship I have with you. That will take me about an hour to finish, and then all I'll have left is to study Chem. I'm going to have to go at a 11 page per hour pace, since I have like 60 pages to study, and I have 6 hours to do it. Cramming, I love thee! lolz Aight Peace 1

WELL! I finally finished that English Huck Finn paper, woohoo! It's about 4 1/2 pages, pretty good beginning to a book I'm thinking. It's just the first two chapters, and Huck Finn heading out west. Good stuff I'm thinking. Now all I gotta do is finish my Spanish hw, and then brace myself for tomorrow. Tomorrow's gonna be a bitch. Wow, I shoulda started teaching CCD two weeks from now cuz then I wouldn't be so tight on time. Chem mid-years on Monday! NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! This is very bad for me, cuz I haven't even started reviewing yet, and thus I'm gonna have to cram like a mofo tomorrow. Why did Mrs. Basile have to pile so much homework on our sorry asses? Why oh why!? Aight, I'mma start the Spanish at 10, 25 mins from now. And I forgot some stuff that I wanted to put about the past day or two. First of all, the dance floor was reeeeally smooth, so it's really easy to get a fast windmill going. Second, i shoulda went to Stuyvesant, cuz the two best dancers from last night were Stuyvesant people. And they danced REALLY good. Next, what is it with tall girls? Why can't I dance multiple songs with a girl my size? lolz Third, Jeanette Lee, the Black Widow, is hot. Fourth, I need a haircut soon. Fifth, I need to buy a new pair of leather gloves cuz I lost one of mine. Sixth, I sprained or strained my left triceps yesterday while breaking. Cuz it's awfully stiff today. Grrr. One good thing that's going to happen tomorrow is that I can play a lil b-ball with Chui, Leo, and Eben. I need to train a bit more, cuz I've got right now roughly a 24 inch standing vertical I think. If I can get it to 32, I'm happy, cuz then I can dunk. 8 inches is quite a lot, but I can do it. Oh and another thing about dances. Some guys say they have problems with hardons while dancing. I don't know why, but I've never gotten an erection while dancing. Sure I'm turned on, but not so much that I get a hardon. I think it's cuz I'm not thinking too sexually about the girl while I'm dancing with her, but instead I'm thinking about what I'm doing dancing-wise, like when I'm gonna do this move, that move, blah blah. I'm gonna relax now before I do my Spanish. Aight Peace 1

Well, I'm tired, my crew isn't going to be coming for like another few weeks/months cuz they have this catechist training program that they go to on Saturdays. Dammit, well I guess sometime I might change the day of practice to a Sunday. I'll think about it. Maybe the week of Martin Luther King Jr Monday, I can plan a meeting for the Sunday right before. Kickass. I gotta see how much work I have to do though, since I know I'm going to get a TON of work. A freaking ton, and they're going to kill us. Even this weekend is a bitch, cuz I still need to finish that Huck Finn paper, which is reeeeally hard to do, my Spanish hw, and finally study for my big Chem midterms. Arrrgh! Ah wellz. Y'know, I was reading something on some person's blog (forgot who it was), and she was all hesitant about going out with a younger guy. I find that kinda funny cuz you're supposed to have the power in that situation because you're older. You're wiser. You can kick a freshman's sorry ass (unless if they're really huge and buff, and then you can't, but that's rare). And most of all, they look up to you. Seriously, I would go out with a girl anywhere from frosh to junior year. Seniors are kinda pushing it (I'm probably not mature enough for that yet), and 8th graders are not developed mentally nor physically. But the rest I'd be fine with, as long as they're within two years of my age. As I get older, then I can broaden my limits, cuz then age difference doesn't really matter at all as much as it does in HS. Yup yup, that's my two cents on that topic. And one more thing I want to mention. Noel says he prefers sns to phone numbers. I think that is not the right mindset, cuz if you can get the number, you can easily get the sn. Sns are not threatening, it seems more like a friend thing. A number hints at a deeper relationship. And plus, flirting NEVER works on AIM. Never. You can never tell really what the person means by what they say, cuz you can't hear their tone of voice to tell whether they're sarcastic or joking around. It just doesn't work. Numbers are the real deal. Keeping that in mind, I need to get some sometime. lolz I gotta eat now. Aight Peace 1

Sup sup. Aight, first lemme tell you about what happened on Thursday. lolz Guess what? Well, today we had a fake "intramural" game against 2E-2. Well, we went there to play, but Fogarty canceled on us without warning (or even telling us, just like him to do something like that lolz). So instead, we just played a fake game, with two sophomores as refs. It was sooo kickass. Ryan was on freaking fire yo, with like 20+ points, nailing a TON of threes on their sorry asses. I was the sixth man, first off the bench. In fact, I was the only guy off the bench lolz. Nobody else came in since the starters were on such a roll and I only came in since Ryan started feeling a tad tired. It was a kickass game. What's even funnier was that the turnout for the game was bigger than usual, even though it didn't count. The real game is rescheduled for Monday. Oh, I forgot about the highlights of the game. Aight, first off, Christian and Dono had a couple of big blocks, so that was good. Second, on one possession, we had like seven offensive rebounds. And every player that was on our team and on the court touched the ball at least once and put it up for a shot on that possession. That showed how dominant we were. And last, the best play of the game was the behind the back layup by Ryan on a fastbreak. The crowd went freaking WILD. Easily the greatest and most fantastic basket of the game. I was like, "HAHAAHA, OH SHIT! YEEEEAH!" lolz Good stuff. Aight, now on to Friday's news. Well, I started off the day kinda tired, blah blah. Then we went to Ms. Weatherall's mother's funeral mass, and I was so mad tired since I didn't get a lot of sleep the night before. We arrived at the church quite early, about 20-30 mins early in fact. And they were playing some really relaxing music, so I was getting even sleepier. Then the mass began, and during the homily, in the background was the sound of water in a brook, very soothing, very calm, very sleepy. lolz So I started dozing off, and then Ryan had to nudge me. Well, after that I stayed awake, and the rest of the mass was rather interesting in fact. Guess how many priests were serving this. Nope, not one, not 7, not 10, but something like 14. Yuuuup, 14 priests lolz. Crazy ish yo. The eulogies were rather good, the first was a grandson, who broke down and cried while making his speech, the second was the son, who told some funny stories, and the third was another son, who made a rather crappy speech, but that's probably cuz of the time costraints. After that, we went back to school, finished up the day of classes (basically none cuz we got back around 1:20), and then I played about 20 mins of basketball and then played pictionary in games club. I did rather well in pictionary considering I sucked at drawing. I couldn't even draw a lightbulb for goodness sakes! lolz But I got most of my other ones, and I guessed pretty well, so that was fun. Our team won by a landslide. Kickass, just kickass. We had some funny moments too, like when Ben couldn't guess beekeeper. He instead kept guessing stuff like, "Guy who keeps the bees! Honey collector! Honeycomb! Beeman!" and all these other close but no cigar stuff. Hehehe funny stuff. Then Noel, Dan, Francisco, and I played some billiards, and I did rather well, going something like 3-1, much better considering I went 0-3 in billiards club yesterday. We ate in some place suggested by Dan, and Noel and I ended up eating half a medium pie apiece. That was sick yo. lolz The things I do . . . anyways, the dance was next. It was the bomb! Wow, I had a LOT of fun, and I got a lot of dancefloor talking experience during the whole thing. I danced with like hmm, lemme count, 8 or 9 girls, and I danced three songs with two of em (not two girls at the same time). Aight, lemme review what happened in detail. Aight, I arrive around 7, go down to my locker and get some ish and stuff like that. Then I practice breaking a lil, and then work at my post so I can get in without admission. After working, I stand around a bit, waiting for the party to start, talking to various people. These three girls come up to us, and say something along the lines of, "Hey are you going to just waste your 7 dollars?" lolz I dunno if that was a diss or a pickup line, but whatever. A lil later, the party gets going, and the first girl I ask to dance is that girl that gave us the line. Daaaaaamn, she was a maad nice dancer. She had the moves going, I was synchronized with her, we got some good ish going. Let's see, grinding side to side, grinding circular motion (front to side to back to side), grinding downward motion, grinding downward circular motion, and grinding with these I go to the left while she goes to the right and vice versa thingie. Very good stuff. She was fun, I didn't work on my talking with her, but that was ok, since I knew I was feeling it tonight and would get other chances at other girls. Next girl I ask is a senior, and I dance three consecutive dances with her. She's not as a great a dancer as the first girl, but she was decent. And TALL! Wow, she musta been like 6'4" or 5". That was crazy. When she left she said she'd be back, and she did as promised but I forgot her name so I didn't go after her. Next time I gotta write down names of the girls that have potential in my eyes if they have to leave all of a sudden. And no, she wasn't leaving cuz her friend told her to, I can tell when they're pulling off that sorta shit. Y'know, that sorta stuff kind of pisses me off, when they try to be nice, but it comes off as reeeally indecisive or weak. Eg. "Hmm, maybe later." or "I have to go to the bathroom right now" (and you see her friends pulling her away). Or " . . . (blankly stares)" and one similar to that, " . . ." (completely disregards you). I respect the girls who actually say, "No thanks" if they don't want to dance. Plain, simple, and effective. Anyways, I danced with a couple more girls after that, and then came the first girl's tall friend. She was also a really good dancer, not as good as the first in variety, but a bit more seductive/touchy feely though. I danced with her for three songs, and then tried to get her number, but she had a bf. What the? I was all up on her, with her letting me do this, stuff to her, and she was just on a girl's night out? Ah wellz, I still had fun with the girl aspect of the dance. Next, I finally breakdanced again, doing rather well in the circle. I just need to develop some more new moves for variety, and I'm set to kick some ass. Now my homework for until next dance is to talk to some girls I don't know so I can develop my pickup conversational skills. I'm at the basic level right now, not too great, a bit rough at the edges, but eh, smooth enough. Oh yeah, and I just remembered! The freshmen I'm friends with did really well today. Harold aka "Spanish Shaq" was dancing with some hot chick and he started making out with her right there. Good stuff. However, he didn't get her number cuz he didn't bring a paper and pen! Rookie mistake right there, but excusable since I've done the same before. Next was this dude whose name I forget, and he was doing rather bad, not getting any girls. I found him since Ms. Cupilari (spelling?) was saying to him that she better see him dancing with some girl or else! So I say, "Don't worry Ms. Cupilari, I'll take care of him." lolz I pressured him, but he still didn't do it. The last straw that broke the wagon was when Ms. Cupilari teasingly went up to him and put the bigass LOSER sign on her forehead, pointing at him. lolz Funny lady, that Ms. Cupilari. At that, he went in fervent search for girls to dance with, and by the next time I saw him, he had danced with like 5 girls. lolz Good stuff. Finally, Ed and his dad dropped me off home today, so that was good. Aight, I'm tired, so it's off to dream land for me. Aight Peace 1

Hey what's up? Today was a rather good day. I woke up at 6, but I felt so tired and bleh. After I took a shower though, I felt invigorated. I was still too tired to play basketball so early in the morning, so I didn't leave early, and instead I hitched a ride with my dad. Well, after that, everything today went well. I participated in Englihs and History class, I did well in SPanish class, and overall I did well academically. After school, the gyms were FINALLY free since both basketball teams had games today. Woohoo. So first game was me, Seneca, Petey, and some other dude, against Joe, Matt, Will I think, and some other dude who I forget. Decent game by me. I felt good running up and down the court, but the thing is I'm a lil lacking in confidence cuz I could've run up the court easily so many numerous times and gotten the ball, but ah wellz. Just gotta be a bit more aggressivre. That game I went 1 for 2. I missed the side shot (grrrr), but I did get a putback. I'm an offensive rebounding fiend. lolz I also did pretty decent on D, but I didn't box out a coupla times. Next game, I sat out, but the game after, oooh baby that was a fun one. It was me, Coach Hobson, Spanish Shaq (aka Harold), and this other freshman dude vs Mango, Joe, and two other dudes whose names I forget (as you can probably tell, I'm pretty damn bad with names). That was a fun game. In the beginning, we were dominating, cuz the passing was good, and our shots were going in. However, I had a horrible offensive game, going 0-5, with pretty decent looks at the basket, except for the one I got blocked by the tall kid. The only thing I got done well offensively was maybe get two assists, one via tip/rebound directly towards coach, and the other to Spanish Shaq. I think I should call him Spanish Mailman though, cuz Shaw doesn't have the range that Harold does. He has a monster fadeaway though, so he can be like Duncan, but he's not tall enough. Eeh, whatever. It was a close game, we were down 15-14, point game, and they get a fast break. You shoulda seen Coach run! Oh wow, it was great, he ran really fast down the court and BANG! Majorass block served up on a platter. There were plenty of guys watching the game and they went crazy, laughing and yelling and hooting. It was a riot. Then next play they win with a jumper. Good game though. Good thing I don't have soo much homework like I did yesterday, daaaamn. I fell asleep at 12. Well, I can probably get to bed early today. Aight Peace 1

Hey what's up? Damn yo, I have a LOT of homework tonight. And I now have a true reason to practice my b-ball skills. I was given a wake up call today to reestablish my drive for perfection. Guess what happened? We played basketball in gym class today, my class versus the other class. Well aight, first time I got in was first substitution of the bench, and I did eh. I'm really out of condition, cuz after a lil running up and down the court I was already getting out of breath. So aight, I get like 1 or 2 rebounds, and that's about it for that part. We ran in shifts, and that meant we had to switch the people on the court like every 7 mins. So the next shift I wasn't in, and Ryan Robinson. Damn, wow, gee golly. lolololz Yup, he turned on the rain and started dropping in buckets left and right. He got plenty of fast breaks, and he was scoring all our points. And that rubbed off on the rest of his shift, cuz they were rebounding pretty decently, and Mike and Rodriguez got some blocks. Good stuff. Next shift I was in, and this time I did even worse. Horrible, absoulutely dreadful. First they got a technical, so I was chosen to take the two foul shots. I bricked the first off the front iron, and the second didn't even touch rim. Horrible. The rest of that shift I got a rebound or two, but I missed a freaking three or four footer from the side of the basket. I know that's my weakness, but I coulda had that easy if I had practiced it. Shoot. And yup, it gets WORSE. the game goes into sudden death since it was tied when the period ended and we wanted someone to be the winning team. And guess what happens? I grab an offensive rebound piece o cake, and then I miss the three or four footer IN FREAKING FRONT of the the rim!!!! WHY!? I actually missed that shot, my bread and butter, one of the easiest shots in the whole freaking world. And I missed it. I totally choked at the end. And yup, it still gets a lil worse after that, because the very next play, Chris hits the winning bucket over guess who? ME! lolz Now that I think about it, it's kinda funny how horrible I was. Funny and sad. lolz I have to just get my shot under control, and I need to be able to hit some free throws and the freaking side shot. Tomorrow I'm waking up at six o'clock so I can practice some b-ball. I really need to work on the side shots and my free throws, since our intramural game is on Thursday. Then on Thursday morning, I'm gonna work on my skills again. Same with Friday morning. Yup, I'm ready to rumble. Damn i have a lot of hw. Oh yeah, I bought a new pair of sneakers that I can wear to parties and use at home when my other pair is in school. It's not one of those high name brands, but it looks pretty good. I'm happy with my purchase. I also bought a nylon jump rope for some cardiovascular training, some socks, an address book (I finally found one!), a pair of scissors since I lost my other pair, and something else but I forget. This is not all at the same store btw. lolz Shoot I gotta start my hw. Aight Peace 1

Sup sup! Well, yesterday it took me three freaking hours to finish that piece of crap of a chem paper assignment, but I did it. However, now I have plenty of crap to do still. Bleh. I have a lot of time though, since I'm going to eat right now for about half an hour. Let's say I finish at one, so then I can do my math, history, and spanish hw. That will take about two hours, and then I can b-boy a lil and also restart my vertical jump program. I used to do it like two years ago, and I gained like 5 inches off of it, and since I've grown a coupla inches, if I restart it I might be able to grab rim. If I work really hard, I'm gonna be able to dunk in about 4 months. This is gonna be a bit tough, but I'm dedicated. The only thing that's hard is to keep my dedication and priorities. And that freaking NBA2K2 game is tooo freaking addicting. Aight John, gotta remember that I must keep videogaming and TV and internet from taking over my free time. Instead of doing that stuff, I can b-boy and practice my b-ball skillies. Aight Peace 1

Hey what's up? Today was not in fact my inauguration as a playa, since I didn't get a chance to talk to the girls first of all, and second of all, they're not that hot. However, I have found a goldmine of hot girls at the library, so maybe I can hunt there sometime. Anyways, lemme review today so far: woke up at 8 and went to the 9:30 mass. Went to the CCD thing too early, so I talked to Kristina a while, and she said she's having problems with this guy, and her friend is feeling all depressed cuz she likes this guy who likes one of her friends, etc. Bleh, why must girls do these things? Take her friend for example, why is she getting so emotionally attached to someone she's not even going out with, nor is she even great friends with. C'mon, there are plenty of people out there to choose from, that person ain't gonna matter once you find someone else who actually reciprocates your feelings towards them. I believe that's why playas don't care when one girl breaks up with him, cuz he's not all bent over for that one girl, but instead he has plenty of different girls to hang out with and have fun. Emotional hangups are a bitch. So that's why I try not to do that sorta shit anymore. Aight, so back to CCD (btw if you didn't know what that was, it's religion classes for public school kids). Aight, so after talking to Kristina, I get assigned to help teach the fifth grade, who are pretty damn cool kids. I have no idea what any of their names are yet though, but I'll get there soon enough. The main teacher, Bryan, is mad cool too. The only bad thing about this group is that a LOT of them are REEEEALLY loudass muthas. lolz And one of them is a bigass brat. That's why I'm never becoming a teacher. lolz After that, Chui, Eben, Leo, and I played some b-ball in the St. Mike gym. Damn is that gym small lolz. My shot was on today, which was very good. I got about half my shots in, and now I know I really have to work on left handed layups and side jumpers, cuz I coulda gotten plenty more points if I could make those shots. Anyhow, at the end, Eben and Chui made a comeback and beat us 22-20. We were up 20-16 until Eben started getting a ton of shots. lolz And the thing is, Leo can't guard Chui cuz he's too powerful, so I can't guard Eben too often. Ah wellz, it was still a pretty good game. After the game, I went to over to church to receive communion since I didn't during the 9:30 mass cuz Chui told me to be at CCD by 10:15. I ate the host, and after mass, I said goodbye to the guys, and saw Sanchez, smiled, said what's up, and then went to the library. Is Sanchez fine or what? lolz At the library, I found some science magazines, leafed through em, and found a good topic for my science report. I gotta finish that shit today, which will take me probably 3 hours. That means that I'll have about an hour extra before I sleep to start my English story. Then tomorrow, I can wake up at seven, do my other normal homework, finish that English paper, and finally get a chance to practice some breaking again. Yay! lolz This is going to be a rough test of my discipline, but I think I can kick some ass. Aight Peace 1

Sup sup. Well, Friday was a good day, and another thing I wanted to state was that Dono is getting a bit cooler in my eyes. He's opinionated, thas all. Oh, and when I heard his brother talking to his friends today, I was like, "Damn, they speak in EXACTLY the same tone and manner!" lolz Moving on, last night I didn't accomplish my plan, cuz I slept at 3:20 since I was reading my cell phone manual. And today guess how long it took for me to set up my voicemail box? More than two freaking hours, cuz the customer service kept on giving me some busted advice on setting up the stuff. Finally a sane guy came on who wasn't a bitch or a jerk, and I finally figured out all the stuff. Geez. Oh damn, I just remembered something disgusting and bleh. Guess what happened on Friday? Well, Tim mooned Ryan, Magrogan, and me in the library. Horrible, just horrible. He's so hairy, he even has a hairy ass! LOLZ Crazy shit yo. Back to my cell, I think I'll d/l a feature so I can use AIM on my phone. Good stuff. But it'll probably be a pain in the ass to write messages . . . so on second thought, maybe not. I can still send e-mails though, so that's good. I just finished watching the movie, Sergeant York, and it's pretty damn good for an oldie. A feel good movie it is. Right now I'm trying to figure out how I'm going to shape the Huckleberry Finn story, I gotta think of something interesting yet realistic. It's a tad rough. What's gonna be worse though is the chem paper. Whoa boy, I don't even know what the heck I plan on writing about yet. Shitballos. Damn, I think I sprained my right ankle and restrained my left wrist yesterday when I was playing b-ball. Ah wellz, it'll cure. Wow, I just realized how disjointed and random the statements are in this blog. lolz Well anyways, continuing in that manner, I plan to make tomorrow my inaugural day as a playa. I'm gonna chat a new girl or two there, and I plan to get their numbers and e-mails. I'm ready to rumble. Just gotta review my game plan. Aight Peace 1

Suuup. Today was a greeeeeat day. I had basically no classes at all, and I played b-ball a lot of the day. I got my cell today, haven't read the manual/options and ish, but now I don't need an address book anymore cuz I can just store everything in my cell. Kickass. Oh and if you need to call me, first try my cell cuz when people call it's usually when I'm surfing the net and then i get pissed I get cut offline. (646) 644 3714. Aight Peace 1

HAHAHAHA! Wooooo. I downloaded a comedy skit recommended by my friend Eben, and damn is it fuuuuuny! lolz Donald Duck Blowjob, it's sooo funny. It's this guy doing a duck voice and he says stuff like, "Who's your daddy!? Who's your DAAAAAAAADDY!?!?" lolz And then he says at the end, "DON'T MOVE! I'll go get you a towel." LOLZ Woo, that was a great laugh.

Sup. Yup, first day back to school today. It was aight. I did wake up at 6 like I promised, and I got my homework done early today instead of surfing the net beforehand. The only thing I didn't do was play basketball cuz my tailbone was hurting a bit since I kicked myself yesterday after a certain out of control windmill attempt lolz. For some reason I felt a bit lonely today, I dunno. Felt lonely, that's all. Anyways, after school I went to billiards club, and I did HORRIBLY. Bleh, I was so out of practice it ain't funny. However, I was still decent cuz I went 2-3. But damn, I suffered two of the worst losses I've ever received. Horrible. First game was against Matt, pretty decent game, I lost by two or three balls. Second game against Joe Borkowski I sucked though. Horrible. He almost ran the table on me, and I ended up losing by 6 out a freaking possible 7 balls. Next game, I ended Matt's 10 game winning streak. hehehe. I was so horrible, so I just played defensively at the end so he made a mistake and sunk the 8 ball in the wrong pocket. Woohoo, first win of the day. Then next game was a rematch, and I sucked big time once again. He kicked my ass as badly as Joe did! lolz Two six ball losses in one day. I don't remember last time I lost so badly. Bleh. Anyways, I got one last quick game against J-Mag, and I was once again down like 6 balls and he was on the 8. So I got the comeback bigtime, and won! Yeah, John's back, and ready to kick some ass. Oh one more thing, I'm gonna get myself a brand spankin new cell phone # from my aunt. Cooool. Cell phone. Technology. Coooool. lolz Good stuff. Aight Peace 1

Aight, I've commited myself to another thing . . . which is helping out with the CCD classes on Sundays. That's gonna put a big time constraint upon me, but I think I can kick some ass and keep commited to my resolutions. And here's a big plus from it: girls girls girls girls. Woooo. Regular exposure to a new set of girls, and they're pretty hot too. New people who don't know me and I can test out different social things on. I'm ready to rumble. (evilly smiles) Hehehe. Aight Peace 1

Suuup!? Damn yo, today was the ish. First off, I accomplished most of what I wanted to do. I woke up at 6 o'clock, and that's the time I'm going to be waking up from now on, except on weekends, in which I'll usually wake up at 8 or 9. Second, I'm starting to develop some more balance for turtles, just have to work on my arm strength. Third, and best of all, I DID A WINDMILL TODAY!!!!! Woooooo! Wow I felt so exhilarated when I did it. And to top it off, I predicted it ahead of time. Aight, this is what happened: I had been breaking for like almost 50 minutes already, and I was starting to fatigue pretty badly. After totally failing (but succeeding in collapsing) to get to three steps on a turtle, I thought, dammit, lemme rest for the rest of this song. Then I started getting this strange thought in my mind that told me, "Jooooohn, Jooooooohn, you're going to get a windmill in the middle of "There's a Stranger in My House." I didn't believe it at first, but ooooh shit, when I did a full windmill rotation and then collapsed, wow! I was ecstatic! Mad exhilarating. Woooo! lolz Aight, that's about the news for today. I really need to practice hard, so that I'll be able to at least do a windmill or two at the dance. Mad crazy ish yo. :D Aight Peace 1

Daaaaaaamn yo. It was my turn for a sub-par New Year's Day. Guess what happened? This crazy dude up and busted up my car, broke the front windshield, the sunroof window, and the right side mirror. What a bum. Ah wellz, insurance can take care of it. Aight gotta sleep. Peace 1

Hey, what's up? HAPPY NEW YEAR! Yay! lolz Yeah, it's the new year already. And I'm going to be sixteen in less than a month. Good stuff. Last night was fun, drunk a lil champagne, yelled, laughed, played games. Yadda yadda. My resolution for the new year is to be as close to perfect as I can be in the aforementioned areas. Yup yup, I'm planning to kick some ass in the new year. Oh man, I just remembered I gotta finish my Spanish homework, so gotta go. Aight Peace 1
