Wow

Wow...Wow...Wow. Is this really what I have to look forward to? "So, right now I should be doing 3 pages of pre-cal, reading and answering questions on the scarlet letter, finishing make-up spanish work, and make-up accounting work, with guidbook questions for history, and learning some music for band. All these things must be done sometime before 6:30 tomorrow." --and-- "I know it's been a while but I am sorry I'm just about ready to blow, life sucks! Anyways I am tyring to figure out money issues while alos trying to do English, figure out band stuff, and juggle my life." --and-- "one of the most nerve-racking expierences of my life. Ok, Tech has to accept me, but it was still a little crazy pressing that 'Submit Your Application' button. Its like saying, 'Press here and give the future of your life over to some complete stranger!'"

Oh...My...Gosh (I won't use his name in vain). I think I'm going to walk away now and gaze off into space while contemplating my life ahead of me.

Your Birthdate: December 28

The number 1 energy suggest more executive ability and leadership qualities than you path may have indicated.A birthday on the 28th of any month gives greater will power and self-confidence, and very often a rather original approach. Unlike much of the other 1 energy, this birthday is one that endow with the ability to start a job and continue on until it is finished. You may prefer to use the broad brush, but you can handle details as well. You are sensitive, but your feeling stay somewhat repressed. You have a compelling manner that can be dominating in many situations.

What Does Your Birth Date Mean?

Uncanny....

The Law of Syllogysm

If you are a nerd, then you are shunned from society.
If you are shunned from society, then you live in the mountains.
If you live in the mountains, then you are a troll.
If you are a troll, then you tried to eat three billygoats.
If you tried to eat three billygoats, then you like cheese.
If you like cheese, then you eat in the High School cafeteria.
If you eat in the High School cafeteria, then you are hungry.
If you are hungry, then you just came from fourth period.
If you just came from fourth period, then you are in Coach Moore's Pre-ap Geometry class.
If you are in Coach Moore's Pre-ap Geometry class, then you sit in the band row.
If you sit in the band row, then you are in the Bobcat Band.

So, we can logically conclude (from the law of syllogysm) that if you are a nerd, then you are in the Bobcat Band.

"Fun" Day

Man, I'm tired. It seems like "Fun" Day gets less "fun" every year. Did the officers sell well on their funnel cakes? They were starting to turn out real good when I left. Anyway, I was amazed at how much the snow cones sold at the Bethel Baptist booth. I think the funnel cakes were just in a bad place. Not very many people walked by there, and then those people set up right in front of us. Well, I'm going to take my leave and rest. grrrr. I'm so tired of being tired. O well, hopefully I'll feel better in the morning.

Masquerade

It's amazing how much of a deeper meaning this song has that I have never thought of before...

Masquerade!
Paper faces on parade . . .
Masquerade!
Hide your face,so the world willnever find you!
Masquerade!
Every face a different shade . . .
Masquerade!
Look around -there's anothermask behind you!
Flash of mauve . . .Splash of puce . . .Fool and king . . .Ghoul and goose . . .Green and black . . .Queen and priest . . .Trace of rouge . . .
Face of beast . . .Faces . . .Take your turn, take a rideon the merry-go-round . . .in an inhuman race . . .
Eye of gold . . .Thigh of blue . . .True is false . . .Who is who . . .?Curl of lip . . .Swirl of gown . . .Ace of hearts . . .
Face of clown . . .Faces . . .Drink it in, drink it up,till you've drownedin the light . . .in the sound . . .
Masquerade!
Grinning yellows,spinning reds . . .
Masquerade!
Take your fill -let the spectacleastound you!
Masquerade!
Burning glances,turning heads . . .
Masquerade!
Stop and stareat the sea of smilesaround you!
Masquerade!
Seething shadowsbreathing lies . . .
Masquerade!
You can foolany friend whoever knew you!
Masquerade!
Leering satyrs,peering eyes . . .Masquerade!
Run and hide -but a face willstill pursue you!
(Dance session)
Masquerade!
Paper faces on parade!
Masquerade!
Hide your face,so the world willnever find you!
Masquerade!
Every face a different shade!
Masquerade!
Look around -There's anothermask behind you!
Masquerade!
Burning glances,turning heads . . .
Masquerade!
Stop and stareat the sea of smilesaround you!
Masquerade!

Isn't it amazing how humans act like that? Why can't we just be ourselves? Why do we always participate in this..."Masquerade"... I know, we want to be cool and fit in. But I would rather have a world in which everybody is just themselves and not trying to be Mr. Hotshot. We would certainly advance much faster.
Then there's also the fact that you never know who you are talking to. Its all just a bunch of masks every where you look. I don't understand why I can't have a conversation with a real person insted of talking to a "sea of smiles." Why do we have to act differently??
I just wish people would be themselves. After watching that movie at Dominic's welcoming party and then hearing this song, it started to make me think. I know that some of you don't hide behind a mask and I thank you for that. I just wish that everybody in our school would just be themselves. It would get rid of many of the social problems around here and that would be nice. But I suppose that would be to hard for some of those people. Oh no! I don't look like Hillary Duff! What am I going to do?? Everybody's going to laugh at me!! I won't because I don't care if you look like Hillary Duff. Anyway, I hope I made my point because I am very tired and I'm going to go to bed.

Listing

I feel like listing things and I don't know why (maybe it was the biology homework...) So here's a list of some of the things I did today:

Played Snow Caps
Remembered to pivot on the fifty
Played and won jeopardy in Geometry
Ate a peanut-butter sandwich for lunch
Learned what Dues Ex Machina is in English
Went over our project for biology
Had a jazz improv session w/ Mr. G and Mr. Piper
Met a foreign exchange student from Germany (He's a junior and his name's Dominic)
Did two hours of Biology homework
Oiled my valves and greased my slides
Posted this

So anyway...I feel so weird...I can't seem to keep a thought in my head for very long...I also feel confused...I don't really know what about...I guess it feels like a dream...maybe I'm in a dream...sleep sounds like a good idea...yes sleep...sleep...sleep...zzzzzzzzzz

Oxymoronisms

After reading Brian's post on his Muppets song, I was compelled to post this poem of oxymoronisms (if that's a word)

In the middle of the night, while it was still day
Two dead boys got up to play.

Back to back they faced each other,
They drew their swords and shot each other.

The deaf policeman heard the noise,
And came and shot the two dead boys.

So if you don't believe my story is true,
Just ask the blind man, he saw it too.

Feelings

I have a feeling...



It's going to be a VERY long week (whether that's good or bad, I don't know)

For Catherine

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!
How does it feel to order off the TV now? And you can vote. And you are officially an adult now.
