I'm strangely excited

I'm not quite sure why...

Maybe its just the anticipation of the best part of my senior year and graduation and LSU and all of that... I can't quite place the feeling but whatever it is it's a welcomed change.

Hello There

I kind of snuck up on you with this entry didn't I. Well for some inexplainable reason I just feel compelled to update. In case you didn't know Switchfoot's new cd is coming out on the 13th "Nothing is the sound" and as you can tell I am very excited. They have a new band member now named Andrew Shirley but he can really and he plays rhythm guitar (just like yours truly) so he gets my stamp of approval. lol

 It's not even like I have a whole lot to talk about I just don't feel right today. Don't you hate that? When Self esteem takes a major hit other something that your head tells you isn't a big deal, but you can't help feeling self conscious and flat out stupid for something you did or said in front of someone you look up to or care about. then the rest of the your day just doesn't seem quite right. I don't know if you get what am talking about but thats just about how I feel right now. I won't go into detail or else I will just end up feeling more embarrassed and stupid so lets change the subject shall we? How about to music. It seems like music is taking over my life right now because its one of the few things in my life that I will never be unsure of or self conscious about again. If you don't like the music I like no big deal, (but just to let you know Switchfoot is the greatest band of all time, oh and My American Heart, and Funeral for a Friend will own you lol). I can't begin to count the names of the new bands sucking up all the memory on my computer right now so I won't. 

Well thats enough of that 

Theres something more serious bothering me right now. This whole N.O. deal more specifically the pointless violence and bickering over the dumbest stuff. As a country I really think we have to realize that when there are lives and futures at stake there a more important things to worry about than whether George Bush is racist or even whos to blame for the problem. Most especially the last thing we should be doing is thinking of only ourselves as many are doing here and in the heart of the N.O. I'm just waiting for the day when people can see pass all the bull crap to what really matters "giving what you can to be a help right now" (but maybe I'm just waiting for hell to freeze over if I'm hoping for that). 

And I'm spent

Peace and Love AJ

P.S. (Words from the Magical Negro): "This ones goes out to by boy blue Mr. Kanye West himself (in  reaction to his recent stupid comments on nbc's Hurricane relief Effort show program thing). Maybe we'll stop having to fight racism the day that we stop looking for it every back alley and sewage line or in the middle of a freakin "Hurricane Relief  Effort." There is no racial preference when people are trying to save a a major U.S city that is 90% black. Now please be quiet and take and a seat next to the Dixie Chicks and Slim Shady on the bench for "stupid celebrities that know nothing about there own country and gov't but seem to have a whole lot of crap to say about nothing". And that's free advice from the Magical Negro to you. Oh and I liked your new cd so stick to music.

Well I guess this is it.....

Its time for my last entry (I hope). Schools out...Im stoked for the break though I am still going to be busy as hell so I'll end it right here. Im sensing a time of change.................................for the better. So enjoy your summer I can't wait to see you.

Last words from the Magical Negro: "Beach line here I come! Wheres my skim board?"

Youre Awesome!

 Peace Be Easy AJ

How Long has it been?

Gooahhly....its been over a month since my last entry. I guess I haven't really missed much all this xanga thing ever does is waste my time ( a lot like it is doing right now). Holy crap we're seniors on monday! What happened I didn't know it would go by that fast. Despite how eager I am to strike out on my own at a college far away from home I cant help feeling like these highschool years have gone by too fast. I feel like I there is so much else I could still acheive here, and a lot more risks I could have taken. But its almost all over. I know I am not explaining this very cleary  so I will just leave it at that. I have been meeting some really outstanding people all over the place recently and becoming closer to old friends and acquaintances. All of this is really making appreaciate my parents decision to move to this country. I really couldn't be more content anywhere else in the world now. It just sucks that I am grounded this weekend for the dumbest stuff. I can't go out and spend my time with these excellent people. Oh well at least I get to see some of these people when they come to visit me at work those of my favorite times of the day. I had a daschund aka.( wiener dog) for 1/2 a day today. Some how it snuck into my back yard and almost fell in my pool. I fed it and gave it some water but my dog sammy chased it away. I felt kind of bad for it because it was really hot outside today. I really should be writing my speech for my debate final right now but I just don't feel like it. I think I am going to go play guitar instead.I didn't get to practice with the guys earlier today because I had to work. Im glad that I don't work some where boring that would really suck. Lets go to the lake! its not that cold.

well that's enough rambling for today I thought  that I kind of owed you because I haven't written in here for a long while .

Be easy

P.S "Wasted poetry-"

"So much left unspoken'

I'll write this letter to tell you the truth"

and I'll send it directly to the back of my mind"

I'll attribute these lost words to the weakness of my youth"

And hope earnestly that true love you soon find" 

OK

I think I am going to retrect that whole love struck fool thing from my last entry. As I tried to conve it wasn't meant to be taken literally. It was JUST A SONG.

Well now that that's said whats been goin on this weekend? hmmmm... I had the ACT. I wasn't as bad as the last time I took it I was able to finish all the sections pretty confidently. all except for the science section of course which was crazy difficult. But all in all I think i did pretty well. I had my first day at work which was cool. I watched four training videos which seemed to take forever. Learned to sign in work the register and greeted a few customers. I didn't do much but at least I got paid for it. After work and the ACT on saturday I had the best band rehersal I hthink I have ever had with "my band" (I don't know if were an official band but we sound friggin excellent) followed by a dull evening. We went ot Matt's house pretty late which was fun, but other than that I did very little. Well Now I am going to ger ready for another rip roaring day of SCHOLASTIC FANTASTIC SKOOL. I can't wait until next year when scheduling goes back to normal and we start school later. Oh yea and being a senior what be too bad either. Well thanx for letting me waste your time again.

AJ

P.S. come visit pacsun wednesday or saturday (when I am working) to come check out or new spring a summer stuff it is suprisingly cool even if I say so myself.
