one sixteen am, i think it might need a new name.

listening: megalomaniac, incubus

one sixteen am has been a very good blog title. but it doesn`t...represent anything. it has nothing to do with my personality, nothing to do with my life. it was a name brought on early in the morning in a painful and sleep deprived state, as it was soon after i broke my leg and the pain was keeping me awake. but since one sixteen am is so...wrong, i need something that seems right to replace it. and yes, i`m taking suggestions, the comments are beckoning.

this week has been, well, awesome. my homework`s been completed, my teachers have been in good moods, and between epic math classes and drifting around brentwood with dan, it`s just been really fantastic and i`m starting to feel really christmas-y.

listening: in like a lion, relient k

and now i feel very christmas-y. relient k`s christmas album is the best. i`m planning on lobbying for christmas decoration putting up sometime in the next two weeks, maybe even while rae is here. that would be nice, feeling like a whole family through all the important christmas stuff. maybe i`m thinking too big, but it`s a nice thought.

anyway, i have to go study for a math test.

instructions for dancing

listening: peter gabriel, the book of love

have you ever had one of those days where you were trapped inside your head? where unfiltered social contact leaves you feeling queasy and you can`t wait to hide from the world with a good book and your ipod? welcome to my day.

these last few months have been, to be completely honest, pretty crappy. and i don`t even want to look at the world right now, i want to just go back to when i didn`t understand enough of what goes o ...

because the world is a really scary place. it is big, and mean, and i really need to learn how to cope with it better, because keeping in all my frustration and anger and sadness is just eating at me, and its coming out in short little uncontrolled bursts.

whats going on, i never blog like this.

i need some sleep, i need a break, and i really need to get out of town for a while.

here we go.

listening: hamilton vs toronto, cfl east semifinals

being that i keep starting posts but not finishing them, i`m going to copy and paste all my drafts into one posts. here it is:

listening: untitled, interpol
yesterday dad and i went to see due date, which was actually pretty funny. zach galifinakis is a great actor, and robert downey jr. nailed it.and then this morning was work, which draaaagged on and on. and then this afternoon there was the bottle depot which netted 60.95$. so i have a grand total of almost 90 dollars to last me two weeks, which is more than i`ve had for a while.

listening:

listening: tyler ward- breakeven

listening: not afraid- eminem
being that there is nothing i can do tonight at home, i have decided to blog.

and that was not as interesting as i thought it`d be. sorry, y`all.

just a quick update

listening: breath in breathe out, mat kearney

well rae, you told me that grey`s had the best songs, so i took the liberty of getting one of the soundtracks from the library. one of the best decisions i`ve made for a while.

i see now that readership has increased on this blog, and maybe it`s time for an update on the writing blog. i`ll keep you posted. writers block kills over 1 persons every year.

four day weekend.

i want to go out, but since mom is on heavy antibiotics and dad is working, i`m not seeing it happening. only 15 days until i get my lisence.

there`s not much else to say, so i`ll leave it there.

i`m going to get started on chapter 3 of my story.

how can i be this tired?

listening: rise against, hero of war

so last night the clocks were set back. i got an extra hour of sleep. i totaled out at ten hours. how am i so tired?

it`s probably an accumulation of all the hours of lost sleep last week with mom in the hospital and dad gone. so as a mild to moderate stress reliever i`m going to play hours of halo: reach.

things are not going my way right now.

i still owe rae...

listening: way out west, don`t forget me

...for her awesome song choices.

i`m also watching scrubs- my last words, which is in my opinion one of the saddest episodes.

today was interesting, really. it just dragged on and on and on.

period one- chem. started which a quiz, which was interrupted by The Mother of All Nosebleeds (TM pending). so i was in the bathroom for the better part of ten minutes trying to stem the flow.

period two- french. social contact was discouraged by Empress Dunn, she separated all the desks to discourage talking.

lunch- was spent in the library looking at colleges and universities. again.

math- mr. mcknight was also cracking down on social contact, which meant i finally got around to understanding how to decompose trinomes.

and social- got about half of a dissertation completed on the war in afghanistan. so another productive afternoon for me.

bass lessons after school were spent learning bass improvs for blues and jazz.

and work was work.
