I guess I was really more self centered that I gave my self credit for when I was your age, but I guess that happens to everyone at one point or another. I'm just glad I got the worst part over, being teenage years were most kids think about themselves. I was a nice kid but I never pondered about other people like I do now. I saw my Mom as: MOM - caregiver and winner of bread, STEVE - Old man that can't show emotion but has a good heart. I give that man a hard time but I guess he did a good job seeing as he never had raised children from birth. I also give props to my Mom. I never truly saw her value until I was stuck in bootcamp and didn't have someone who would fold my laundry without me asking. I was even the youngest kid to do their own laundry. I had to grow up real fast when I didn't do it as a teenager. I took things too personally and now I don't at all but as I know, life is a journey of learning and gaining knowledge. Not knowledge in the sense of how many interceptions Romo throws in a season or who Paris Hilton's new BFF is, but thing that pertain to living in peace with your fellow man.

I am glad that I had this whole reconversion. I hit about as rock bottom as I could go with losing limbs, going to prison, or having my whole family die (knock on wood). I think that that is the best way to really become awaken to the fact of cold, hard, unforgiving life. I was also blessed enough to have an interest in history and to be able to apply life like a timeline. To put things in perspective like trends of societies throughout recorded history thus far. An ensample would be the Mayans would play the "Ball Game" and it was so rare for the ball to go through the goal that when it did happen all of the crowd would give the scorer all of their jewelry and robes. In the same manner professional athletes get paid insane amounts of coin to entertain us with their playing of sports.

People talk about faith pertaining to religion, but I see more and more that religion can be more than worshipping deities but also worshiping money. People have faith or belief that the economy will get better. I hear that being said all the time on the news. People have faith in their politicians that they will do the best they can for the people. People have faith in their teachers that they are teaching them corrects things. College kids have faith in their world history classes that they are being taught infallible material. Kids being taught evolution in schools have faith to an extent (unless they are creationist by birthright of their parents) that we evolved from monekys. Then some don't even adhere to anything.

I make the terrible presupposition that people will give a damn about what people do for them.

I guess it's the thought that counts.

Ok so a lot of stuff was trying to stay the same but nevertheless it changed. Lately it has all been for the better. I have developed this cough. It's kind of classy, I'm not even going to lie, it adds some mystery to my very 5 lifestyle. Trying to spit out of a moving vehicle going over 15 mph when winds are in the 30's is not a good idea. I had dried sugar on my pant leg and it was very tempting not to lick it, but then I had my Sabritones (Mexican Crack Cocaine in the form of spicy/tangy wheat snacks) to soothe my hunger.

My car is almost completely legal in terms of being on the road. I just need a radiator and my inspection sticker and I am golden. The secret to good hair is dove. Must...not...eat...sugar...
                                        It's not helping that my elbow keeps grazing the crystalized mound. Damn Courtney and her yummy cinnamon bread sticks.

Recap on the past two years. College from fall 06 to spring 07, I ran out of money so I joined the Marines. USMC boot camp was going well in the summer of 2007 until I got pneumonia and then getting heatstroke as soon as we tested physically to go up north. I had a triumphant return to Dallas and then now I work at the McKinney Olive Garden. Biding my time until I can take over the world and become all of your masters. I have to do diabolical things.

Ah! I just gave Papa John's my two week notice on Tuesday, I feel relieved at the thought of going home and lazing about? GASP! Hopefully my prospects of Boston's and Big Lots! pay off, but I am going to hold out for about 2 weeks, so I can enjoy the bums life (after living 17 years of it).

All of you wondering I did finish 2nd in the District 10 3A Social Studies event, because I study and like being social. I was 1st loser to a real loser who looked like he hadn't bathed in about a month, well I guess if you wanna win yoou have to go so far...I advance to regionals and hopefully I am one of the lucky 3 that advance to State. Our team got 2nd, next to smelly boys, but it was good seeing as how the rest of them studied a week prior.

Kick my butt people, tell me to study Social Studies or DIE!!!! (perferably study)

We lost the district championship by one stinking point, Royse City: 360, Princeton: 359. The next closest to us was good ol' Van Alstyne with like 100 pts. lol.

Well I have a month of studying and basking in my own glory. Peace.

I got a cease and desist order too, yeah I'll tell you all about it in person if you ask. ttyl.

...

Well I'm going to State Solo & Ensemble Contest in late May, w00t w00t!

It was all too easy seeing as we didn't practice for a week and totally sucked playing, i guess the dude thought we had potential. Or maybe I am just so bad out, haha.

I forgot to do my roughdraft for english, and I don't have a couple of assignments for Comp Sci, but I think i can get most of thenm done  by asking Frankie if he has any extra copies.

UIL Dizzzzzztrict is coming up!!! I am so excited because I am actaully knowledgable(sp) about WWII, because I am a nerd and play WWII games and like to watch world war ii movies and like to watch the history channel.

A special congrats goes out to the clarinet trio, Casey, Allison, and Doyle. They were the unnoticed ensemble that kicked major butt, and the trombone quartet because they had the coolest piece EVER!!!

Couldn't find any Death From Above 1979, so I got some Von Bondies one here and stole some dudes layout and modded it. It is all his, wzard layout or whtvr...

I got all of Invader Zim on Haley's ipod for her. I pwned at WoW and got my guy up to 16, w00t w00t! Nothing much here on the homefront, except that UNT wants me in there Honors college and is willing to freely give me $1500 a year to go there. Mr. Smith is a beeyatch and I think I want to not be in LD.

Well I mst be off saving the universe.
