"You think about back in the day, of what you could have had but you threw it away... Growing up seems so hard when you're young, you never wanna listen always wanna have fun, try to make things right but it seems so wrong, people say the best years come when you're young, you never listen to what people say, always wanna try and do things in your own way, never think straight, always play life as a game, and in the end it's another life thrown away..." --Blazin' Squad |

Damn it's been a motherfucking long time since I've updated this shit. I just haven't really been in the mood to lately. This weekend was intense to say the least. It was one of the best weekends I've had in a while and I will definitely not forget it for a long time to come. I got very fucked up. I puked up a storm. They took off my pants and threw me in the tub...I ended up falling asleep in the tub wet and cold as fuck. I got up before people started leaving and I was the first one to start feeling alright. After I started feeling better everyone else started feeling like shit. Me and Sha had to take care of the others. And so the night goes...and all the other little crazy things that happened I can't really mention on here. Anyway gotta go.. I'll update a little more later on... |

I think I'm breaking out I'm going to leave you now Theres nothing for me here, it's all the same And even though I know That everything might go Go downhill from here, I'm not afraid
Way away away from here I'll be Way away away so you can see How it feels to be alone and not believe (Feels to be alone and not believe) Feels to be alone and not believe anything
You can't stop me now You can't hold me down You can't keep me here, I'm on my way I've made it this far now And I'm not burning out No matter what you say, I'm not afraid
Way away away from here I'll be Way away away so you can see How it feels to be alone and not believe (Feels to be alone and not believe) Feels to be alone and not believe anything
Letting out the noise inside of me (Letting out the noise inside of me) Every window pane is shattering (Every window pane is shattering) Cutting up my words before I speak (Cutting up my words) This is how it feels to not believe
Letting out the noise inside of me (Letting out the noise inside of me) Every window pane is shattering (Every window pane is shattering) Cutting up my words before I speak (Cutting up my words) This is how it feels to not believe

"The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings but shorter tempers, wider freeways, but narrower viewpoints. We spend more, but have less, we buy more, but enjoy less. We have bigger houses and smaller families, more conveniences, but less time. We have more degrees but less sense, more knowledge, but less judgment, more experts, yet more problems, more medicine, but less wellness.
We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get too angry, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too little, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom. We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values. We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate too often.
We've learned how to make a living, but not a life. We've added years to life not life to years. We've been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet a new neighbor. We conquered outer space but not inner space. We've done larger things, but not better things.
We've cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul. We've conquered the atom, but not our prejudice. We write more, but learn less. We plan more, but accomplish less. We've learned to rush, but not to wait. We build more computers to hold more information, to produce more copies than ever, but we communicate less and less.
These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion, big men and small character, steep profits and shallow relationships. These are the days of two incomes but more divorce, fancier houses, but broken homes. These are days of quick trips, disposable diapers, throwaway morality, one night stands, overweight bodies, and pills that do everything from cheer, to quiet, to kill. It is a time when there is much in the showroom window and nothing in the stockroom.
Remember, spend some time with your loved ones, because they are not going to be around forever. Remember, say a kind word to someone who looks up to you in awe, because that little person soon will grow up and leave your side. Remember, to give a warm hug to the one next to you, because that is the only treasure you can give with your heart and it doesn't cost a cent.
Remember to say, "I love you" to your partner and your loved ones, but most of all mean it. A kiss and an embrace will mend hurt when it comes from deep inside of you. Remember to hold hands and cherish the moment for someday that person will not be there again. Give time to love, give time to speak, and give time to share the precious thoughts in your mind.
Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.
HOW TO STAY YOUNG
1. Throw out nonessential numbers. This includes age, weight and height. Let the doctor worry about them. That is why you pay him/her.
2. Keep only cheerful friends.. The grouches pull you down.
3. Keep learning. Learn more about the computer, crafts, gardening, whatever. Never let the brain idle. "An idle mind is the devil's workshop." And the devil's name is Alzheimer's.
4. Enjoy the simple things.
5. Laugh often, long and loud. Laugh until you gasp for breath.
6. The tears happen. Endure, grieve, and move on. The only person who is with us our entire life, is ourselves. Be ALIVE while you are alive.
7. Surround yourself with what you love, whether it's family, pets, keepsakes, music, plants, hobbies, whatever. Your home is your refuge.
8. Cherish your health: If it is good, preserve it. If it is unstable, improve it. If it is beyond what you can improve, get help.
9. Don't take guilt trips. Take a trip to the mall, to the next county, to a foreign country, but NOT to where the guilt is.
10. Tell the people you love that you love them, at every opportunity.
AND ALWAYS REMEMBER: Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away." -George Carlin |

I wrote this about a week or two ago and I found it today as I was deleting all my other documents... I never posted it up here though so I thought I should now... "Things are okay over here I suppose. A few seconds ago my eyes were filled w/ tears, but luckily none of them managed to escape and my cheeks are still dry as of right now. I'm too strong for this I convince myself, and my eyes dry up again. I started packing today, but that's about all I could manage to do. I was listening to some music as I was packing and for some reason I felt that strange pain in my heart again. My heart was aching badly and I begged for it to stop, but alas it wouldn't. I'm still feeling the urge to cry, but every time I get it I try w/ everything I have inside of me to keep it in. I'm growing weaker by the minute though and I know that I am going to have to give in to those tears any minute now. The only thing keeping me happy is the fact that I will be home once again come September. :-) God only knows how I long to be there now. I just want to get away, and forget everything... well, almost everything. I’m feeling a strong urge to runaway and start a new life, but I know that running away from my problems isn’t the thing to do. You encounter problems everywhere. It makes no difference how faraway you’ve moved. Your problems will never solve themselves, they will always be right there w/u. So you might as well at least try and be audacious enough to face them once and for all. Don’t runaway from your problems…ever. It never works out-- I should know." |

I don't have much time to update this, but I will do the best I can with the time allotted. I have been working longer hours and crazy hours too. I work from 12-8pm, 1-9pm and 2-10pm sometimes. It kind of sucks b/c it doesn't give me much time to do anything during the morning or evening hours. It's ok though. I'm getting used to it, and it doesn't bother me as much now, especially since I love going to work. I dyed my hair this afternoon. It is a medium brown color now. I didn't color it b/c I want to change who I am or anything, even though I know that is a big part of me--I've always been the "little red head" to others. I didn't really give it too much thought actually, I just kind of did it. I like it and that is all that matters. I might be going to the Warped Tour after all. I forgot all about it after I came up here from Florida but Nicholas (this one guy from work) asked me if I wanted to go and I said "maybe". I've been wanting to go for the past 2 years but never got a chance. I'm going with a few people that I know from work and the rest are their buddies who I don't really know and they are all going to camp out over there on the 6th but I doubt I'll be able to do that--they are mostly all guys and besides, I probably have to work the night before the concert. Instead, me and Samantha--also from work--are going to drive up there in the morning most likely and then just meet up w/ everyone else there. It felt good to finally meet some ppl who listen to the same music as I do--although I do listen to EVERYTHING--b/c I also like going to concerts and I didn't think I'll be able to go to any up here. I'm glad no one judged me by what I wore and the music that I listened to when I got up here. I was totally sick of that in Orlando--even though I didn't get it as bad as most of my friends--it was cool to kind of get away from that for a while. I'm glad I didn't find some guy and fall deeply in love b/c I know that would make it that much harder for me to go back home. Oh god of course there are some really cute guys over here, but I just couldn't see myself trying to "hook up" w/ any of them for that reason. I know that I am too clingy and I'm afraid of how attached I might get. That is another thing I've been working on--my clinginess. I have to get going in a second but I just wanted to say hi to the 3 ppl that actually read this, well at least I think they do. Slutsicle, Derz and Sha. Although I haven't talked to you all in a while, I still do care about you guys and I thought you all should know that. Take care everyone.. I'll update again in a little while. |

My parents got in Sunday night. They are going to be here for a week. I've never been so happy to see them in my life. My mother and I got into an argument last night but it ended pretty quickly. She understands that I am growing up now and she is trying to accept it as best as she can. I used to say that I hated my mother, but I guess that is what every teenager goes through at least once and has to get over-hating their parents. She has done so much for me how could I have been so blind? I should apologize for everything I've put her through b/c I sure put her through a lot. I appreciate everything she has done for me but I don't think she really knows that. I dont' think I have ever told her how much I appreciate her, not even once. We aren't very affectionate toward one another. I honestly think I have only told her I loved her less than a hand full of times in the past 3 years. That is so sad, now that i really think about it I feel so bad. No wonder she thinks I hate her - which isn't the case at all. I wish I could tell her how much I appreciate and love her everyday but it just feels weird after not doing it for so long. My parents are going to move again in August and that is when I am planning on going back. I don't think I can stay here longer than that w/o seeing my friends and my little niece. She is so big now, says so many things. She never stops talking, it's so cute. I haven't seen my friends baby in a while either and she turned one a few months ago. I didn't even get to go to her b-day party. I need to go visit her when I get back b/c I already missed enough. The only reason I want to stay here in NY is b/c my sister is having a baby--she is 2 1/2 months pregnant right now. I want to be there for her the way she's been there for me especially these past few years. I want to be here to decorate the baby's room, I want to help organize the baby shower, and I want to be in the delivery room if it's possible. I want to be there when the baby is growing up, to watch her first steps and hear her first words. I don't want to miss any of that but I'm afraid I might have to. When I find out exactly when I'm leaving I'll let you guys know-not that you care lol but still. Take care. |

I don't like updating this thing much anymore, but I'm really bored and I have nothing else to do. Ahh work is so awesome. When I'm not there I wish I was haha. How many ppl can say that? :-P Everything is cool now. I am much happier than I used to be. I don't want to go back to Orlando at all. I'm so ready to tell my mother to send the rest of my stuff over here. The only reason I have to go back is b/c my sister is kicking me out after September and I would have to live on my own. If I had a roommate I would totally stay. Who knows? I still have the rest of the summer to find one ;-) Aww man that would be soooooo badass :-D I would be sooo happy if I could stay here and live on my own. I haven't been doing too much lately just working and hanging out. I have to save money for the NYC trip at the end of this month so I'm trying to refrain from going to the shopping malls haha. The house I'm moving to is killer just b/c it has a basement and a badass attic where the game room will be. I just miss having a huge closet and my own bathroom. I guess I'll get used to it though. I talked to Denise today. She was so happy that I called. She's my best friend. We talked for more than an hour and I'm sure we could've kept going but my calling card doesn't have that many min's left. Denise, Linda and Mike are 3 of the sweetest ppl I've ever met. If I talk about them a lot just know it's b/c I care about them very much. I hope it doesn't annoy any of you but if it does then just don't read my shit anymore haha. Love ya ppl.... |

Hmm... Its been a while since I last updated this journal. I'm bored so I guess I'll catch you guys up. It's been cool I guess. I work now, it's pretty freaking cool. I finally met Mike yesterday (Monday). It was really cool. He really respected me and made me feel super comfortable around him. My little brother gets to Buff. Wednesday. I was so mad when I found out. Ugh i don't want my little brother to come here. I can't stand him. It's only for a month so I guess can deal w/ it. I have to work tonight so I have to get going but I'll try and update later on |

I sit alone inside, dare I speak? dare I move? frozen in the past, lost in the future. I sit alone inside, wanting to die, yet wanting to live. needing more than I have, with less that I had. I sit alone inside, crying, laughing, trying to remember wanting to forget. I sit alone inside, I am numb, but in pain. wanting to feel feeling I cant. I sit alone inside, the sun has risen, yet darkness falls. days pass by yet time stands still. I sit alone inside, watching, listening, wanting to tell, needing to be silent. I sit alone inside, calling your name, yet running away. hoping you will come yet knowing you wont stay... for I sit alone inside.

I decided to go to the concert after all haha... I just popped some pills and was on my way... That was the best fucking concert EVER!!!!! The Used fucking "ROCKS MY SOCKS" as my girl Sha would say lol ... Shanena and Lauren got up to the front row and Shanena grabbed Bert's mic.. I stayed on top b/c I felt like shitz and didn't want to get push around in the fucking mosh pit... this is the first time ever in a concert that I wasn't in the front but I still saw everything clearly b/c The House of Blues is mad small...They were fucking awesome..(the rest of this entry is courtesy of Lala) Bert did a backflip, threw his mic and mic stand in the crowd. 349583489578345 times better than the Finch concert. So Lala got 2 shirts and a hat for herself, and a shirt for Sha. After the concert we met Quinn, Brenden and Jeph, and got autographs. Bert didn't come out, and if he did we already left. I got my shirt signed. But Derz couldn't go, so Lala got her ticket signed for her. Then we called her and she got to talk to Brenden and Jeph. I think she started crying, awww. :D I wish she could've gone, next time. So we got home at 1:30, Lala stayed at my house and she slept most of the day. We need to remember a marker and a camera next time. |

Just came back from a crazy ass day out w/my slutbags.. it's been wild. I had mad fun w/ Shane-na and Pam... we went to Universal Orlando for the Mardi Gras thing. We weren't even going to go till Sha called me around 11:45 PM Friday night wondering if i still wanted to go, last minute shit but we didn't give a fuck we just wanted to go out... it was so worth it though. We were there from 10 am- 11:30pm and I ended up getting home at 1am.. Very long day... Guess who we saw there? Joey from NSync haha.. that was cool shit.. we were standing front row center in Brian McKnight's concert and he was over to the side. Sha noticed him and told 3 other ppl, she would've kept going if I didn't shut her ass up lol... poor Joey would've gotten raped by all the females :-P... I also saw my old 9th grade teacher Mr. C he is the fucking coolest bastard ever too bad he quit teaching to go work at Universal but he says he likes it better b/c he doesn't have to deal w/ those jackass teachers anymore (I hear him on that, fucking bitchass teachers)... anyway... I'm going to take a shower now... tty hoes later..peace out |

this shit so fucking true... "Easier to Run"
It’s easier to run Replacing this pain with something more It’s so much easier to go Than face all this pain here all alone
Something has been taken from deep inside of me The secret I've kept locked away no one can ever see Wounds so deep they never show they never go away Like moving pictures in my head for years and years they've played
(If I could change I would take back the pain I would) (Retrace every wrong move that I made I would) (If I could stand up and take the blame I would) (If I could take all the shame to the grave I would) (If I could change I would take back the pain I would) (Retrace every wrong move that I made I would) (If I could stand up and take the blame I would) (I would take all my shame to the grave)
It’s easier to run Replacing this pain with something more It’s so much easier to go Than face all this pain here all alone
Sometimes I remember the darkness of my past Bringing back these memories I wish I didn't have Sometimes I think of letting go and never looking back And never moving forward so there'd never be a path
(If I could change I would take back the pain I would) (Retrace every wrong move that I made I would) (If I could stand up and take the blame I would) (If I could take all the shame to the grave I would) (If I could change I would take back the pain I would) (Retrace every wrong move that I made I would) (If I could stand up and take the blame I would) (I would take all my shame to the grave)
Just watching in the sun All of my helplessness inside Pretending I don't feel misplaced It’s so much simpler to change
It’s easier to run Replacing this pain with something more It’s so much easier to go Than face all this pain here all alone
It’s easier to run (If I could change I would take back the pain I would) (Retrace every wrong move that I made) It’s easier to go (If I could change I would take back the pain I would) (Retrace every wrong move that I made I would) (If I could stand up and take the blame I would) (I would take all my shame to the grave) |

awesome beat- I luv this song...download it when u get the chance ...
Linkin Park "Faint"
I am a little bit of loneliness a little bit of disregard Handful of complaints but I can’t help the fact that everybody can see these scars I am what I want you to want what I want you to feel But it's like no matter what I do, I can't convince you, to just believe this is real So I let go, watching you, turn your back like you always do Face away and pretend that I'm not But I'll be here cause you want what I've got
(I can't feel the way I did before) (Don't turn your back on me) (I won't be ignored) (Time won't heal this damage anymore) (Don't turn your back on me) (I won't be ignored)
I am a little bit insecure a little unconfident Cause you don't understand I do what I can but sometimes I don't make sense I say what you never wanna say but I've never had a doubt It's like no matter what I do I can't convince you for once just to hear me out So I let go watching you turn your back like you always do Face away and pretend that I'm not But I'll be here 'cause you're all that I've got
(I can't feel the way I did before) (Don't turn your back on me) (I won't be ignored) (Time won't heal this damage anymore) (Don't turn your back on me) (I won't be ignored)
(Now) (Hear me out now) (You're gonna listen to me, like it or not) (Right now) (Hear me out now) (You're gonna listen to me, like it or not) (Right now)
(I can't feel the way I did before) (Don't turn your back on me) (I won't be ignored)
(I can't feel the way I did before) (Don't turn your back on me) (I won't be ignored) (Time won't heal this damage anymore) (Don't turn your back on me) (I won't be ignored)
(I can't feel the way I did before) (Don't turn your back on me)
I can't feel I won't be ignored Time won't heal Don't turn your back on me I won't be ignored |

But everybody's gone and I've been here for too long to face this on my own well I guess this is growing up well I guess this is growing up...
Eyeliners-"Stuck On You"
We're still talking about the same ol' shit And i'm oh so sick of it Regurgitate the same old lines When I feel we've neared the end I find you here again Seems like we've hit another dead end
Try and try again When will this ever end I pull away but I always fling right back
I'm stuck on you, like glue, sad but true Want to get away, but I don't know how to We're on a winding road that never ends It's no use, confused, unenthused Cuz i've given up on you I guess it's time to say that we're through
Turn back and double take Has it all been such a waste Lost time that won't be replaced It's been two years and then I find you here again It seems like you want to make amends |

No I don’t know where I’m going.
But I sure know where I’ve been.
Hanging on the promises of songs of yesterday.
And I’ve made up my mind.
I ain’t wasting no more time.
Tho’ I keep searching for an answer.
I never seem to find what I’m looking for.
Oh Lord, I pray you give me strength to carry on.... |

mood:  complacent music: "It's On"- Sean Paul
|
My outlook on life has changed to some extent recently. I find that I am more content at the moment. I hope this feeling will last... |
