April 13, 2003 - moods, starfish, and the truth about love
A somewhat quiet Sunday for me today... My moods have changed a lot throughout the day, and rather than do my homework, I spent most of the day lying around watching TV. Alas, I have not much to say at the moment, except it's gonna be a somewhat hectic week for me yet again. I'm clinging on to the idea of Friday coming like my life depends on it... it's soon to be spring break, you know.

Oh, and I finally have a new poll up.

Quote of the Day - Fernando de Pujas

"Love is a hidden fire,
A pleasant sore,
A delicious poison,
A delectable pain,
An agreeable torment,
A sweet and throbbing wound,
A gentle death."
 
April 14, 2003 - a wake
With my grandpa's wake today and funeral tomorrow, it should be a somewhat emotional time in my family. I don't really worry so much about my own reaction/emotions, but moreso about my parents'/family's emotions. Maybe I'll speak more on the topic of death later on in a ramble or two. As for now, I'm off to get ready.

April 15, 2003 - my world
It was kind of a tiring day for everyone, I guess. The ceremony today was very nice... my sister Marie faxed a letter from the bighouse that was read at the mass. In the evening, I went to the Avril Lavigne concert with Steve-o, Dan, and Jason... I had a really good time overall. I was telling Steve after it how I tend to be more of a night person than anything else... I'm not really crabby in the morning, I'm just not all that social; in the afternoon I always have things to do/worry about like school or work. But the evening, the evening doesn't stop until the sun comes up. Anyways, that's all for now.

Oh man, was the concert great... Avril Lavigne can definitely sing.

Quote of the Day - Avril Lavigne

"I always go with my gut and stand up for what I believe in. I'm a fighter. I fight for what I want."
 
April 16, 2003 - eye eye captain
Another chapter of my high school book closed today with the final concert for Jazz Band. The way I just worded that sentence makes it sound like a more important event than it was. But I have to admit, it was jazz band that gave me the greatest trip I've ever been on-- good ol' NYC. It was almost two years ago to the date that we went there, and I had such a blast on that trip. Iit just felt great to spend time among all those people I didn't know while still being with a group of people I did know. Anyways, I could talk for hours about that journey, but I'll spare you all. One more day of school til spring break, and let me just say this: It's about damn time!

(in 61 years, it will be 4/4²/4³... I hope I'm around to see that day.)

April 17, 2003 - break out
Ah the glorious feeling of Spring Break is finally here! I've felt so run down this past couple months and it feels good to know that I have some time now to sit back and relax a while. In fact, I think I'll head off to do a little bit of that right now.

Quote of the Day - Sydney Smith

"There is one piece of advice, in a life of study, which I think no one will object to; and that is, every now and then to be completely idle - to do nothing at all."

So to my disappointment, this break hasn't given me any feeling of "relief"... like, I don't really know specifically what I want relief from, but I've just been in this mood for a while where I feel like I'm being crushed and I don't know why. I thought I was just getting really bored with school.. but now, I don't have school, and I still feel a bit off, so I don't think EHS was my problem. I just feel like I don't really have anyone I'm close to, and if I feel close to them, I kinda feel like they're not close to me, if that makes ANY sense. And as far as people in general, I just feel like a giant wave of negativity has swept across the world as I know it. Maybe not so much as to give everyone a negative outlook, but I just hear a lot of complaining lately... and I'm guilty of it too. But hey, maybe tonight will make me feel better again.

Quote of the Day

"Falling in love is just that - falling.
Sometimes you merely trip and stub your toe.
Sometimes you fall to your hands and knees.
And sometimes you smack your head against the pavement and die."
 
April 19, 2003 - sad suns say so much
My mind is everywhere and nowhere all at the same time. I spent today without saying a whole lot just thinking about everything going on around me. It's amazing what you can learn just be observing things. When you take a step back and get out of the action for a few minutes, you can kind of see people's characters with objective eyes. But at the same time, how much fun is it just observing all the time? Once in a while, you've just gotta dive in head first to a situation and fight the proverbial bull you're faced with. Not sure what I mean or where I'm going, so 'at's about it.

Lyrics of the Day - "Strange Disease" by Prozzak

"A little sexual frustration 
Combined with lack of motivation 
And a loss of concentration 
I've got a strange disease."
