You know what folks, life is going pretty well. I must say that at this particular moment, I'm pretty much happy. I have a girlfriend whom I like, a lot, I have a motorcycle, I have a car, I have great friends, I have a decent section in band, I have a lot of things that make me happy. I think it'd be rude of me to say that I deserve to be happy, happiness isn't something that is given out. I think happiness is something you have to make for yourself. Everyone else in your life can try their best to make you happy, but in the end, you're the only one that can do that. So, if you're unhappy with your life, change it. If you're an alcoholic, stop drinking. If you think you're fat, lose weight. If no one likes you, make them like you. I must say however, that this thought was brought on by a quote.

“I, not events, have the power to make me happy or unhappy today. I can choose which it shall be. Yesterday is dead, tomorrow hasn't arrived yet. I have just one day, today, and I'm going to be happy in it.”

Damn, I'm bored. I also have two whole books to read, two A.P. books. I've done none of the work either. I procrastinate very badly. So, I think that I think about my girlfriend too much. I don't think it's a bad thing though, just very mind-consuming. It's also bringing up the after highschool questions in a relationship. It's not a good thing. Also, I don't want to stay home for college. It works for some people, and that's cool. But it's not for me. Maybe I'll stay in Marion, but I'll get an apartment or something. It's not that I dislike my parents, it's just that I've been with them for 18 years, and well, you know, it's getting old. I'm sure they'd like to move on as well. I don't know. Maybe if I do well enough, I'll get college paid for somwhere out of state. Here's to hoping.

Hey dudes, hang ten! Or 9, your call. So I'm in one of those relationship things again, and I have a pretty good feeling about it. My previous two relationships, the only two I've had, did not go very well. The thing that they had in common is probably the reason for both of their failures. That reason of course being that I was "pushed" into both of the relationships. My friends always have good intentions, that's why they're my friends. But sometimes, they just don't think things through enough. I'm glad that I actually got this one going on my own, that way if I fuck it up, I can only blame myself. To end that thought, I wish myself goodluck on my new relationship.

To my band-o readers, the elections were kind of dissapointing. I really do kind of wish that I could have been the band president this year. It was kind of the pinnacle of my bandhoodness. I guess there are some good sides to it though. I can get awards again, I get to play in the stands more, stuff like that. I guess it evens out, and whatever is going to happened, will/has happened. I'll just take it as a reassuring sign that music isn't my calling.

Peace out dawgs.
