i had to go to my sisters dance recital last night.  talk about a good time.  it actually wasn't that bad.  i have gotten pretty used to sitting through them CONSIDERING ive been every year since she was about 4.  i fell asleep during a large portion and i dont regret it,  when i wasnt sleeping i was eating the pounds of candy that i stuffed into my pocket before i left my house because in past year i always wished i had had something to eat.  when it was over i got up and looked down and there was a pile of candy wrappers and i just left them there for someone else to clean up.. after that as over i came home because by that time it was already like 11.  i watched an episode of 24 and then fell asleep.  i onlyhave 4 episodes left in the first season to watch.  i'll finish by tuesday probably.  i slept until like 11 today then woke up and ate 4 poptarts then fell back asleep until 1:30.  i had to be at school for this honor graduate ceremoney at 2:00.  that was WHACK.  i sat in the same auditorium that i was in last night and funny enough i did the same thing.  i slept and ate candy.  after that i had to go to work and i sat there and played rummy with holt.  well, i dont know if getting demolished actually counts as playing but it passed the time.  after he left i did homework and then erica stopped by which was a nice suprise.  i wish OTHER poeple would suprise me.  after work i came home ate a microwave pizza and ordered a new skateboard.  I'M PUMPED.  it should be here by the end of this week.  that pretty much all the excitement that happened today.
  OH YEAH

this past weekend was a whole lot of fun packed into just a few days.  friday after school reggie and i got in the car and went up to blacksburg to visit our friend fletcher at virginia tech.  the drive was pretty boring and reggie slept most of the way so of course with no one to talk to i was getting sleepy myself.  we eventually made it to tech safely at around 6:30 or so.  once we got there we hung out at fletchers friends house or "the lodge" as it is commonly referred to.  it's called the lodge b/c all of the interior walls are covered with wood paneling that you would commonly find at a ski lodge.  but we hung out there for like an hour and sat outside enjoying the nice weather and drinking a few beers.  we played a couple of games of foosball until we got hungry.  we decided to ride bikes a mile and a half back to campus so we could eat free food.  i got a small pizza and we sat outside on picnic tables and talked about everything that had happened up there on monday and how everyone reacted and what it was like being there now.  i felt bad for asking a bunch of questions b/c im sure fletcher was sick of talking about it but i mean next year it will be as much a part of my life as it is his so i thought i should know what was going on from a first hand point of view.  we finished eating and rode bikes to fletchers friend franks house which was pretty close by.  we got there and celebrated 4/20 for the first time.  after we were done smoking we went to see a few local bands play at this club called attitudes wich was pretty fun.  my favorite band was tokyo.  they are this piano rock band that had a real interesting sound that i enjoyed.  fletcher friends band phillip uster and the house floor was alos really good.  there set was pretty intense and everyone was bouncin around and dancing which added to the atmosphere.  we left before the 4th band and went back to franks house and smoked again.  then we rode our bikes from franks to the lodge which seemed like it took forever.  it was really crazy riding a bike high but it was kind of enjoyable in a scary as shit kind of way.  we got there and hung out until everyone got back from the show at like 1:30 in the morning.  all of the bands came over and partied which was alot of fun and i didnt end up going to bed until like 5:30 or 6.  i slept in this awesome hammock outside in the woods.  i woke up at 12:30 or so to the news that fletcher's friend clay's mom sandy was making about 20 people breakfast.  i indulged in back eggs sausage and pancakes.  after breakfast we sat outside and just enjoyed the nice weather.  we played four square for a long time in their driveway and then played kickball at the elementary school next door.  i went for a long bike ride by myself which was enjoyable.  we hung out for a little while longer and then decided we should get ready for the mustache bash which was happening at the lodge later on that night.  so we drew on the gross lookiing mustaches and the me. fletcher, jordan, and justin rode to the drill field where all the resturantes in blacksburg were giving out free food and there were  couple of thousd people out there just enjoying the nice weather and having a good time.  it was probably a bad idea to draw the stache's on before we went b/c we got some pretty dirty looks from people but whatever.  we left there then rode back to the lodge where everyone was still sitting around just hanging out.  at about 9 or so people started showing up for the mustace bash and everyone was pumped.  there were so many sweet staches that my head almost exploded.  guys and girls all had them.  some were real most were fake.  but al were sweet.  mine was just this gay pencil thin stache that on;y a turd would have.  i loved it.  we partied for a while and i went to bed at like 3 or 4 when it started to die down.  i got back into my hammock and enjoyed some music.  but im not sure what i listened to.  we woke up at about 8:45 to leave and comeback to danville b/c i had to work at 12 which sucked.  i sat alone in the shack and watched the office on my dads laptop.  but if thats the worst partof my weekend then i'm extremly happy.  if this weekend was foreshadowing of what next year has to bring then bring it on.  im excited.

today was pretty exciting.  i got a big haircut yesterday which is not like me considering everyother time i get it cut i only cut off like half an inch if that much.  it was funny going into class rooms and seeing everyones reaciton to it.  the majority approved but there were a few nay sayers like always.  but i like it alot and so do my parents and so does my HO.  i dont really have a HO but if i did im sure she too would like it.  it's a big change but i think it was one that was necessary.  i was tired of it and it was time to do somehting X-TREME for once.  i haven't done anyhitng X-TREME since i got a mullet 2 summers ago.  by the way that was the best decision that i have ever made.  well i need to do homework.  i hope this make some jerks happy.  if not then "GO SUCK A BIG OL' D"

i am ready for this weekend.  spring break starts thursday. im going to see sean lennon friday. the snow shack opens saturday. i'm going to roanoke to visit family (go skating) sunday after church. 
today i went to a funeral for my cousins grandfather. on the way to the church i was thinking about how it didn't bother me that much because i didn't really know him at all. but during the service after seeing my older cousin complelty lose it with tears everywhere i realized that i was actually grieving with him. i dont feel the extent of his loss but i felt it a little. i know what its like to lose a family member you are close to and unfortunatly both my cousin and i have shared these experiences together. the first being when my older cousin william died in iraq 4 years ago this sunday. it incredible to think that it's been 4 years already since his plane went down that night.  during that time of mourning i realized that it was ok to let your emotions show regardless of how unmanly it was.  its not good to hold things in that really bother you. even though i know its not good to bottle it up i stil tend to do it over and over again. i hate that i do that but, the emotions eventually shows themselves at a time like this or at a time like my family and i experienced on april 7th 2003.  i hope its a while before i have to sit through another funeral. i hope no one close to me dies soon.
