ok..its time for another post i guess. I got a new truck...it kicks butt i guess..i kinda like it, wasnt my first choice but i settled for it....still single...nothing new there, and still working. Dropped out of Renegades, decided that it wasnt worth my time and money considering on average we only had a 1/4 of the corps there at a rehearsal, and then half of that would leave before marching block....so yeah...um...nothing really new going on right now..so i guess ill update more when the time comes

OK, it's time for an update. My knee is doing a lot better now, it still gives me problems from time to time. I haven't gotten the surgery yet, because MediCal wont cover me until I'm 21, and that's really retarded, its only 32 days away so that's a good thing. I got a new job, well...i will when my 2 weeks are up and my current one. ill be making 2-3 times more than i am now starting out, so 2500-3000 a month depending on how fast i work, and then, in 3 months or so, he wants me to get certified for something else, so ill be making at least 20 an hour. Whats cool about this job, is when i go out to a sight, i get paid for 2 hours, even if I'm only there for 15 min, so like...last week my cuz had 74 hours, but only worked 36, and then these other 2 guys had 26 hours in one day, cuz they did 13 jobs, so I'm going to be making good money now. And i get paid weekly, and that's really cool. Anyways, nothing else is really going on...like i said, my 21st is in in...a month or so, I'm really excited, so if anyone wants to get together and buy my alcohol, that would be great lol, well...that's pretty much it now...so i guess ill write again in a month or 2

ok, so i guess its time for an update...as you could tell from my subject, things arent going to well, so i messed up my knee pretty badly, basically the worst thing that i could do, i tore my ACL, the MCL and i guess "dislocated" the disc in my knee playing football, im gonna have to have surgery on it, i dont know when thats gonna be, it'll have to be after the swelling goes down. So thats how ive been as of lately, doing nothing, been at home since Thanksgiving, havent been able to go back to work, tho i am planning on going sometime this week,so thatll bee good. I think today is payday...not sure, but i need to finish Christmas shopping. Well..Arvin ended the season on a high note, we got 2nd in our div. in everything but guard, but they were 4 tenths of a point from placing, im not sure what the show is for next year, but i think it might be Fantasmic, that could be a fun show. So anyways, not much else going on, my dad is moving to Vegas for work, so that means that ill be spending time in Vegas now and not in Mammoth as much anymore, Vegas should be funner, ive never even been there, only about another 2 and half months til im 21....cant wait..gonna go to Vegas, anyone who wants to go, you can go, just let me know, and we'll figure out when we can go, so yeah, well...i guess thats all for now...talk to you guys in another few months..lol

Well...nothing really new going on right now....going to Mammoth this weekened...sux that Heather isnt going tho, i wasnt really wanting to go unless i could get some one to go up there and hang out with me, i dont really want to be stuck with my family all weekened long, but oh well...i need a vaca, so ill get by i guess, going to BC next spring, my job is paying for it, so thats cool, i need to take 3 classes; AutoCad, Basic Electricty, Hvac and if i can find it, some Visio classes, or even if anyone has a copy of Visio, i could prolly teach my self. Whats cool is that once i finish school, ill be making atleast 20 dollars an hour, and during school, they will give me a raise, so ill be making 15 dollars an hour, plus benifits, paid vaca, paid holidays, and all that good stuff, so my job is finally starting to come around, thats awesome. i still want to find a 2nd job for now tho, cuz i am broke...i have about a 1,000 dollars in bills right now, i make like...1100 a month....so yeah..i have no money...well..i have got to start packing for this weekened, so ill ttyl...have fun

so ive decided to just let thing be between Kandi and i...i thought that i could change her for the best, but i guess she doesnt want to change, she smokes weed and parties, not alot, but parties, and i thought that i could atleast get her away from the drugs, but its not working, she wants me to try pot so i could see how it is....but im not about to lower myself to make her happy. ill do alot to make her happy, but no one is worth me lowering myself. Ill just let us be freinds. ill stop spoiling her, and maybe she'l come around, i doubt it tho. She is a good freind to me tho...for the most part, her and her sis, even her mom is cool. but ti guess ill jsut let things be and soak in my singleness for a bit longer...i guess. So yeah...went to Isabella over the weekened, Kandi was suppose to go, but got sick, so i went with her sis, and she brought somone for me, she was fun...didnt know she was so young tho....*slaps wrist* nothing happened...major...just alot of holding..it felt good to hold some one tho...so as of right now...im still single...still looking..but i think im gonna gove up looking and hopefully some one will find me...*crosses fingers*. might be going up to Mammoth this weekened, depends on whether or not Heather can go. Her and i were suppose to go to the beach this weekened, but my mom invited her and i to go with her and my dad up there for the weekened. If she doesnt go i guess ill have money to go to the fair. i hope she goes tho, i havent seen her in a long time...well..im done for now i guess...ttyl

Maybe....maybe i wasnt meant to be with anyone...maybe im suppose to be one of those guys that has all these girls that are freinds and nothing else. I guess im going to be one of those uncles that spoil my neices and nephews cuz i dont have any kids of my own. Seriously,i cant stand it when somone knows that i like them, and they use that to their advantage. When ppl take advantage of me cuz they know that ill give them what they want if i can, that ill show up at their house at 1 am so they dont have to be alone, that ill go pick them up where ever they are. Ill take them out to eat with my closest freinds, cuz i want them to meet them just in case something happens between her and I. I hate it when she leads me on to the point where, even her family thinks that we are going out..*no, we're just freinds* well fuck you too then, damn..i am a nice guy, but im not that nice a freind, sure ill let my closest freinds borrow money if i have it, yeah they know that if they need something, ill help them out the best i can, but they ask, they dont expect me to just give it to them. You will never know what i can do you for you. I could give you so much more, if you just give me a chance, im not like all those other low life guys that come over to ure house and get high and all that stuff. i have a life, and it doesnt revolve around drugs, ppl are right, i am too good for you, everyone sais it, even ure fam. they say to just leave you alone cuz ure not worth my time, money or respect. Yet i still manage to give you everything you want. Who was it that stayed the night at ure house when you were sick, that went and checked on you all thru the night to make sure that you were ok? who was it that went out of his way to get you what you wanted to make you more comfortable while you were bed ridden? I didnt see any of those other guys over there while you were sick...where were they? I take you out, i buy you stuff, i spend all my time with you, from the time i get off work to the time i go to bed, im with you, im giving you what you want cuz no one else will. What am i suppose to do? Im trying to show you that i can give you a life that youve never had if something more serious happens. All i want is the truth...stop lying to me, stop leading me on.

OMG..i am so freakin confused. Does she like me or not? My sis sais its obviouse, and its her freind, well...shes a freind of that fam. I am attracted to her, shes soo...wierd, but in a cute way, ive been hanging out with her like everyday the last week, i go to her house til 1 in the morning, i jsut got back from her house right now, and i was there since 3. we're going to the movies on thuresday. Theres really only 2 minor problems..one is shes 17..its not that bad, hger whole fam knows me so im sure it wouldnt be a problem. And the second...shes tiny..i mean..im like 3 times her size, shes 5'0 100 pounds, yeah...tiny. Ive been wanting some one...small, but she gives a new meaning to small. i have nothing against it, but yeah, we'd look kinda akward together. im like 90% sure she likes me, and the rest of my fam is like 100% sure. but i still dont know what to do, while we were over at her house, this guy that likes her stopped by, and it kinda got me a lil down, cuz she was hanging out with him, for that time that he was over. but i mean, they are freinds, and from what shes told me, she doesnt think that shed get with him. thats kinda another problem, shes still in high school,shes a senior, and i know how the whole drama thing goes in high school. Shes so cute tho, shes my #1 in my top freinds list on my space,JD met her, i dont know what he thinks. i like how we have a good time together, seems that we always have fun, even when previous plans that we made to go do ( like go to the movies) doesnt work out. Our fams know each other, so thats a good thing, they know that im a good guy, and that i come from a good fam. so i guess thats something to my advantage, but i still dont know what im going to do, i like her...i want to ask her out...well, i guess i already have since we are going to the movies tomorrow. but you guysget what i mean...i want to just come out and tell her, and ask her how she feels...i think ill have my sis ask her how she feels..lol...i can use that to my advantage too,

hmm...well...i thinkits time for an update, not toom uch going on now, i have a new car...'05 Civic, i love it, cant wait to start fixing it up, its all stock right now, but it wont be when im done with it, hopefully it doesnt end up like my compy jsut sitting there for 2 years un finished, lol. Work is going awesome, going to be put on full time prolly around the end of the month, so ill be making really good money, a raise will prolly come along with it, *crosses fingers*. Im not sure if im going to go to Hawaii yet, now that i have a car payment, its going ot be hard, so im relying on being put on full time and getting alot back from taxes. Life is going pretty good, nothing really new other than the car, havent gone to Fresno in a long time, well...3 weeks...lol...last time i was down there i was helping house sit with Becca, i got to meet a couple of her freinds, they are so awesome, they all want me to move up there, i dont know tho, if i get put on full time, i might not leave for a while. i cant wait til high school football starts, its going to be so much fun playing in the stands, Arvin is starting to sound pretty good, we are still working on there marching, but its getting there, not bad for only have a marching band for the 2nd time in 10 yrs, its wierd being called Mr. R tho, btu the students like me, so thye say, they are fun, they bring out the kid in me, the director too, they are fun, its amazing how much older ive gotten and more mature i am from when i was a freshman, it was only like...6 yrs ago, but it brings back alot of old memories, some good, some bad, but the past is the past, cant linger on them for too long. But i do miss alot of my old freinds from Liberty, most i havent seen since i left Liberty 5 yrs ago. I hope that thru me, my students and Arvin can leave there high school days with a few good memories from band that i have, and pass the love of music down to there kids. No one passed it down to me, i had to find it on my own, now its the biggest influence on my life, its kept me from getting into trouble, its pretty much changed my life, who knows where id be right now if i didnt dedicate all my time to music, coming out of Jr. High, i was a big trouble maker, fights, smoking, hanging with the wrong ppl, doing alot of stuff that i should be in prison for. Im happy for how my life turned out, i know that i dont deserve all that i have or have gotten. I wouldnt be here right now if it wasnt for my love of music, and the support of my family and freinds. Something that really sux, happened the other day, even tho music has changed me, it took the place of something that i still love, Baseball, i was watcing a game the other day, and my mom said that she wishes that i still played, cuz shed be watching me play on tv right now. Its funny, i knew i was good, but i didnt think that i was great, even when complete strangers use to come up and tell me how good i am. Coaches use to tell me that i should have no problem playing in the MLB, as a freshman i was told that i was good enough to play AAA ball, as a freshman, most ppl dont ever get out of AA when they are 30, and at...14? i was good enough to play AAA, i miss being out on a feild, i miss hearing the crack of a bat, i miss ppl use to come up and tell me how aweome i am, and now i get how awesome i use to be, i can still play, but not nearly as well as i use to, i still give my cousin tips, its nice that he comes to me, and brings some of his team mates, he's really good too....he thinks that i should have went to the pros, my whole fam wishes i woulda stayed in baseball, i think i do too.......

have you ever had one of those freinds...on that...you get along so well with..that it feels like you were meant to be together, but you cant see it happening. One that, you are so unbelievebly compatible with, even more so than the one that you truly love? what do you do in a situation like that. When you know that the one that you love, is the one that you want to be with, the one that you know you are suppose to be with, but then, you have that one perfect freindship, that one thatll either work, or ruin.....do take a chance? Chance fate, love? what would you do? When the one that you love, doesnt look at you the same way, but rather as freindship? what do you do when, the one that you are most compatible with, doesnt look at you more than just freinds? Sure you look at them the same, out of fear of losing them as a freind. But, what are you suppose to feel, when you take that freind out, and you go as freinds...but you always end up doing something with them? What do you do, when the one that you truly love...seems like they are leading you on? You see them quite often, and when ever you are with the one that you love, it seems like...everything is so perfect, when you hold her in the night, and wake up next to her in the morning, it seems like heaven....what would you do in this situation? every one that is around you swears that you, and her belong together, that we look so happy together, look so good together, and sais that they can tell by the look in her eyes that she knows you love her, and she knows that she loves you as well. what would you do when every one of the friends of the one that you are most compatible with hates ure guts? and you dont even know y. and that all they want is to see you stay away from you...these are my problems...are these typical problems for some one my age? or these even typical problems for anyone? this is what i have to live with. this is what clouds my skies, such dark clouds that only the love of the one i love could possibly clear the skies, does this sound corny? yeah, it does, but thats how i am, im corny like that. i do love her, and i want nothing more to have that feeling returned. i want the impossible, i want my heaven on earth.

He is so cool, we got along pretty well...had some good talks about certain subjects, so yeah, cant wait to see them again. Im accualy going back up there next weekened, too start looking for a place, dont know what all we are gonna do tho, prolly go see the Davinci Code, She wanted to see that last time we were there, but it wasnt out yet, so maybe this time...umm....everything going good i guess...seem to be pretty happy, my room mate Anthony sais that i seem happier, i hope it stays this way, accually i hope it gets better, but only time can tell. Gas...God...dont even get me started, im prolly gonna have to quit my job delevering pizza, im just not making enough money any more to work there...yeah...i think the cheapest place in town is like 3.35..maybe 3.33, i guess as a city, Bako is the highest in gas in the Nation...sux to be us...Freso was pretty cheap, i saw 3.21. Went to the lake today, was out there all day, Anthony got so burnt, kinda funny, now when he messes with me, i slap him on the back, kinda fun but sad at the same time. Shouldnt mess with me..lol. The lake was fun, went swimming, played catch, bbq, thats about it, not like we have a boat or anything, but we still manage to have fun. My mom is all for me moving to Fresno. Kinda weird, i didnt expect it, i thought that she was going to give me a lecture about how its gonna be even harder in a diff. city and all that, it will...speacially since i wont really have her to fall back on if i need it. So im still not sure what im going to do about the Arvin thing, maybe ill keep it and come back down a couple times a week? I dont really want to give it up, who knows, maybe ill get another thing while im up there? So i have 2 yrs left to do Drum Corps...i think im gonna go out for BD-B next year, that way hopefully i can get into BD my age-out year, that would be awesome....and how bout Championships in Pasadena in '07? thats gonna be awesome...who knows, maybe theyll put me up into BD and not have to do BD-B. One could only hope..i would really like to be in Div.1 corps when they come here..but jsut imagine...having the Cavy's, Cadets, Phantom, Blue Coats...and all the other big Div 1 corps here in Cali...So Cal for that matter...man..*drools* i cant wait..ok, well its almost 2 am..and i dont know what i got online for.
