Blue Oyster Cult-Don't Fear the Reaper |

Hi! Looks like band practice is a no-no for today......probably has something to do with the James' mom, who often bitches about how we're making her ceiling shake and stuff. James plays bass BTW. So, the basement will be undergoing a cleaning. I've offered before to help before, but he says that it's a tedious process and he would have to just sit there and tell me where to put everything. Oh well. So now I sit here, doing this. It's pretty damn nice outside, especially (dammit I spelled that wrong) considering how unbelievably cold it's been lately. Here in western new york, winter starts on Halloween and ends in April. It's fucked up but you get used to it. I remember walking outside in January of this year and the wind chill was like -15. And it was pretty windy. Damn! So today I am just wallowing in the happy sunshine while it lasts. (BTW, they never close schools unless the wind chill is -20 or below) Yeah, I'm a supersenior (5th and final year for those who aren't down with the vernacular) at Depew High School, and my God, is it ever a sucky place. My problem is not with being unpopular (I get along fine with most people, thank you) but with the establishment itself. It's just so ludicrous. I don't know where to begin: the ridiculous ever-growing regents standards (kids just entering high school need at least 3 years of math to graduate), the kid who drowned in the pool last year that they're still denying was a mistake on their part for not watching him, the way they wanted kids to come back to school immediatly after attending their friend's funeral, or just the inane everyday bullshit that all students put up with. Wow, that's a long sentence I just typed there! But on the plus side, the death of this girl (who graduated last year) made me and a friend realize that in the long run, dumb crap like that couldn't matter less. On the day of her funeral, me and this guy wanted to go, but we were in quite the awkward position. We knew her enough that it made an impact and wanted to pay our respects, but we didn't know her well enough to be at the funeral with family and all. It sucked. So, we decided that the best thing to do was to just leave school and spend the day elsewhere. We just couldn't do the same day-in day-out crap that day. It would've just felt disrespectful, as if nothing happened. We walked out and browsed through the local restaurants and stores. We found some really cheap Mozart CD's, however. That was awesome. Me and Dave (that's his name, BTW) are now like the only kids in school into classical, but it's all good. We ended up sitting in the living room listening to this awesome choral thing on the Mozart CD without speaking. The music was freakin' beautiful, and that moment of silence and reflection was how we paid our respects. Hmm. Just put in some laundry. Man, am I hungry. Maybe I'll walk down the street to Ted's Hot Dogs because it's so nice out, and I do enjoy their char-broiled excellence. Well anyway, I'm gonna go eat luch now. I hope you enjoyed reading this and I'll see you later. Don't forget to watch Simpsons tonight....it's a new one. ^-^ (happy smiley face) Next time, besides the usual monday or sunday night stuff, I'll get into the subject of the girl I like. (awwww) Until next time.
