Hey, I haven't written in about seven days, oh wait that was matt-o, I haven't written in longer. I 'spose I should, but I have to explain some stuff to you. In the first three days that I hadn't written, I tried to write articles, and each time my computer froze about 1/4 of the way through. Now, these were going to be very lenghty articles, so a lot was written and destroyed each time. After the third time, I hid away in my protective shell, leaving only for the various shop or party. And today, I have emerged from my world-hating shell to bring you... this article. In recent news, about two days ago I went to Kyle's birthday... gathering (party is such an immature word, don't you think?) and only Matt-o and I shew (I think that's a word, or at least a biblical one), but we generally had a farely mediocre time. No, I'm just kidding. It sucked! No, kidding again. I got Kyle a twenty dollar bill and a card depicting Fred Durst being decapitated by little Ozzys, keeping in mind that he likes Limp Bizkit.
Like it? I'm hungry, so I'll write back tomorrow, covering my previous few weeks.

Hey, today was the first day of school, what a fun day. (Puts finger down throat to symbolize it makes him sick). I can tell it's going a fun year. My computer is working really slow because now that school is back and nobody has homework, they decide to go on the internet. Well I'll tell you, they'd better be going to our site or there'll be problems. That's right, porno surfers! I know what you're up to! In the past few weeks, I have gotten several cds. The doors boxed set, which many of you are familiar with by now, and there's more. Good Charlotte, Pearl Jam: Ten, and Nirvana: Incesticide, all from BMG. Then in my spare time, both Sum*41 cds, All Killer No Filler and Half Hour of Power. Then I got Weezer's The Green Album (but as Matt-o argues, where does it say the green album? I don't see it. It just says Weezer!) Each one is very good and I recommend any or every one to the following groups of people: Grunge; Pearl Jam, Nirvana. Punk; Weezer, Good Charlotte. Pile of shiznick; Sum*41. I'm kidding, but Sum*41 is the music where no matter how hard you try, you can't get anything out of it, except for maybe the following songs: Grab The Devil By The Horns (and a little more I can't put on because of our site policy), Ride the Chariot to the Devil, 32 ways to die, and Pain for Pleasure. These songs are basically instrumental, and have an 80's metalhead vibe, because as said in Fat Lip (you know, that song with the rap, or as Kyle C. knows it, the one where they shave that fat-headed girl's hair on the video thingy), "Maiden and Priest were the gods that we praised." Now for metal know-nothings, that would be Iron Maiden and Judas Priest. They used to be "unabashed metal-heads," as quoted in Guitar World. Usually it works the other way around, but oh well. I restarted working on my Lyrics page, go to it and vote for a cd review. What I've basically done is put new album pictures up, as I was missing about 25. I should get to work on putting the lyrics up now, as there's nothing else to do. And don't forget to read my Story that doesn't make sense... If you can find it! Ha ha ha ha ha --o-- (imitation of a tv screen going out.)

As you already know today was the first day of school. Despite some needed confusion it was a good day. Mr. Reid grew a beard over the summer which is similar to that Kids In The Hall skit where the guy decides to grow a beard over the summer but the beard procedes to take over his mind and he doesn't know he's no longer on vacation so he starts to go to work with only shorts on while holding a radio up to his hear playing jamaican music, he eventually falls five stories in his building which I don't think Mr.Reid needs to worry about seeing as how are school is only 1 story tall (still beware the beard). English class and Political Science are shaping up nicely whereas French seems to be taking the same turn as David Caruso's career. Our teacher doesn't speak fluent French (in fact she's spanish), she's a good person just I think it would be best for us if we had a teacher who speaks full French. I got Weezer (self entitled Weezer but to better clarify it's green) last night, very good cd (short though it's only 28:29 m:s with 10 tracks though it's not as short as the first Ramones cd which is 28 min's long with 14 tracks) and you should buy it. I'm the only freshman in Sculpture class which is strange, and there's some kid who looks like chris 10 years from now. And I went to gym class (which I wasnt suppose to go to) BUT I WAS INFORMED IT WAS A B DAY, still it was worth the walk over. I think I have English first tomorrow (excellent). Au revoir.

Hey, have you noticed the Fred Durst thing takes too long to load? I guess I'll make it into a normal picture and it will load quicker. Anyways, the first real day of school was okay, probably because we didn't have science. This year should be easier to write about because Matt-o-mac and I have a majority of the classes together, so we'll basically know what we're talking about. Maybe you won't, but we will. Aha! Now then... I'm having a little difficulty understanding these lunches. All of us 9th graders are split up between lunch I and II, and the logic makes no sense. Stephen F. said something about it depending on the classroom that you're in as lunch is coming. That's something I'll finally get used to in the last week of school. On a more troubled note (the note is troubled, not the contents of the note), I'm going to count of my summertime cuts and bruises in chronological order for your disentertainment: 1) A few weeks ago I got one of those nasty water-filled blisters on my left hand, under my pinky. It's now basically healed, and only looks like a patch of odd colored skin. 2 + 3) One week after, I went tubing in North Carolina and got two more water-blisters; one on my left ring-finger and one on my right thumb. 4 + 5) While karate last week, I got my skin scraped off on my left middle knuckle from punching pads + a bruise and a cut on my left leg from who knows what. 6 + 7) two days ago, I was reheating some pizza, and I burned my left underarm while setting the pan down. It was on that day that I noticed a bug bite on my left arm that at one point grew to a 2-cm diameter. Now remember, all this is from doing basically nothing all summer. Imagine what it would be like if I led an exciting life! At school tomorrow, if you ask really nicely, I might show you my collection of bumps, cuts and bruises. Oh wait, I forgot one really tiny one. At Karate on Tuesday, a fairly large kid was doing a kicking drill to me, and his heel hit my toenail and proceeded up, and my toenail basically went with it. It didn't come off, but it's bent in two places. And know this; my toenail just finished healing from this same incident with that Steven Stoehr kid who "swore" on our guestbook. The toe bled a little, not as much as last time, but enough to make my mother faint (thank goodness she wasn't there). Then yesterday, I was doing self defense with a little kid named Peter (pronounced PEET-dur, it sounds strange), and he stepped on that same toe twice! You can bet he got the beating of his life that night. Well anyways, off that grotesque topic, there is no other topic. I got nothing left, people. See ya later crocodile! Oh wait, that's not right.

Hey, the fred Durst image is now 76k smaller. The imagery is a little worse, but what would you rather have; a crystal clear picture that takes a half an hour to load, or a slightly sloppy picture with blurred text that takes two seconds to load? That's all, anyways.

Vacation, finally! Those three days were such a hassle! Boy, all that work and everything, geesh! Just kidding, but it is good to not have to worry about waking up tomorrow. I don't have much to write about today, except one thing; the small green catapiller massacre! I went outside to feed my rabbits, and I noticed a small green catapiller. So I picked up a stick and smushed his head. Then I looked again and saw another and did the same. Suddenly, I saw at least 100 catapillers all over the rabbit cage! I don't know how I missed them, I guess that's their strong point. But I guess their down side is that they arch their backs at their enemies to frighten them. Didn't scare me, the lazy bugs! "I'm gonna kill ya catapiller! Ha ha h- whaaaaa? Ahh he's arching his back! Mommy!" I think not. Anyways, I killed all the ones I found, which over all could lead to an infinite amount of dead catapillers. Look at it this way: a catapiller has like a million babies in its short life. Now by knocking off one, that prevents the potential catapillers from being born. Those potential catapillers would have had about a million each, wiping out another potential 1,000,000,000,000 catapillers. This process would potentially take about a year, and in the years to come, imagine how many potential catapillers I have wiped out, just by killing one. Who ever said that killing one catapiller doesn't make a difference didn't know my theory. (Wait, did anyone ever say that?
