and then i was like weeeee!

I spent time this week in drivers ed; it was my graduation present from my parents, it was that or a new bicycle (I would've prefered the bike). It was interesting, primarily reading from a book, watching 80's instructional videos and talking to cute girls. There were a few neat people in the class, and plenty of not so neat people. I'm going to the DMV for my permit on tuesday morning, hopefully I'll have it done before work.

I met Zenster today, we had lunch at city bites. He was a really nice fella. I'm going to St. Louis this weekend with him and his girlfriend for Damitcon II. Its a get together of (now) old UT99 Assault players; some of them have moved on to UT2k4 Assault. It'll be cool to meet some people I've fragged and been fragged by; meeting people makes it more real, like after meeting Steve from Arrow and That Vela Fella from..well..Vela is everywhere.

I need to get out of the house soon...

Steve Buscemi

I met a man who looked just likeSteve Buscemi today at work. It scared me.

A sonnet

Something I wrote for a friend right months ago...but i'm feeling it now.

======================

Youre two together,

Both one of a kind.

You think forever

You could be in a bind.

Held down by a heavy hand.

You want to change

But find it hard to bend

Youve been banished from that open range.

I see you with him, its evident

That he is yours and you his;

Two friends drawn into an event,

A silent romance it truly is.

A romance hidden from authoritys site

Has the sweetest purr and bite.

weird

I've got an awfully queer feeling inside my head.

Its like parts of my life are flying up, soaring with the clouds, whilst others fall down, down in the down deep down. I feel like I'm Westley, saying "As you wish." Or is she saying that to me?

==========================================
untitled, 9/25/03

The day is young, full of strength and vitality.
One warrior, iron-willed, will draw upon this vitality.

Tapping from it, he will form his fighting spirit.
A master of the foil, he will ward his enemies away.

Fueling his courage with his hope of love,
Slaying his darkest demons with his vorpal blade.

Aided by his ragtag band of supporters and warriors
He moves to slay the Jaberwock; OH; the beast is closing in.

They draw upon strength and vitality, hardening their swords and steel.
A thrust and a stab; a bite and a swat; volleys of blood.

Success is the warrior, landing a vorpal blow.
Severing the head of the beast he asserts himself as truth.

Fueling his long for love he asserts his quest as true.

Wine

I caught a glimpse

of a fine wine,

Bearing a crisp label

it was straight from the vine;

As I stood, the wine lay there

then was taken, fair and square.

There I stood, without a drop

parched and looking with wanderlust

One fine spring, I found my wine,

Tasting a drop, feeling robust,

Although in tasting, I feel like an ass

All I do is crave a class

2 hours

and ten minutes.

i'm almost done with highschool..period. no more classes..no more work...except my video project for the school.

I graduate next week. I've waited the past 3 weeks for this....part of me wants to leave, to go live in dc and part of me wants to stay in oklahoma with everyone. but i'm going, there is no way in hell i'm staying at this point. part of me doesn't want college to be like highschool, with the same people.

make new friends, but keep the old
one is silver and the other is gold

posting from another computer i just fixed...or rather, i troubleshooted the entire network, since that was at fault, not the computer. damn i wish people would think more...

Good morning vietnam!!!

Boy, I sure feel perky right now!!!

Headcold....getting up at 3am coughing and sneezing.

What hath I done to bring such a curse down upon my mortal tomb?

Simplicity

A pause, a moment

these little things in life

The chirp of a bird

light of the moon

Such simple things

oft forsake today

a kiss or a hug

a humorous friend

these simple pleasure are

passed by in fast society

such pleasures are true beauty

cherish them forever

Bliss

Pros:
I've no finals.

I spent yesterday afternoon at Erlanna's house.

Two people, one whome I never expected to, signed my signature insert for my yearbook in a really really meaningfull way. Noemi and Rosie, you're great.

Cons:
I've got a video project to do for the school.

Erlanna got me sick.

I'm bored out of my mind at my house.

Sunday

Early..sunday started too early.

Some bastard drag racing in the street woke me up at 4AM, that screwed me up for the day and set the tone for a healthy 7AM morning. I mowed the jungle yesterday. We got new blades for the edger, cuts sharper, deeper, and nicer now. I had to clean out my shoes afterwords, they easily had a handful of dirt, courtesy of the new blades on my edger. I can't stand dirt being in my shoes!! Its easily worse than having waterlogged shoes......Converse high tops are great shoes but they do have their failings.

My mom pissed me off yesterday. She took her bike and "rode down 19th" all the way to lake overholser and back. Through traffic. Through a city not used to bikers. To a lake known for drunken revellers at all hours of the day. On the night before when I wanted to ride my bike downtown to the Museum my parents forbade it. I don't get it; I've already mapped out a route to Nana's through the back rodes, shes got problems getting to my place and I only figure its a 40 minute bike ride.

My dad gave me a driving lesson last night at the shop. This isn't some bad, horribly satirized and dramatized cartoon driving; my dad is a very well trained driver, when he was a race car driver he was well respected off the track, for the amount of respect he paid to people while on it. Parts of it were just constant stop go stop go, nothing too fast. Hes really comfortable to drive with.
