"God Must Hate Me"
Today I had the Health and History finals. Health was funny because for one part of the final we had to do a group project so me, Lucci, and Stafford got together. We had to createa group against some form of hatered or prejustice so we (specificIy I) came up with S.T.D. - Stop The Discrimination. Anothre we considered was F.A.G.d. - Fight Against Gay Discrimination. Oh so clever. Near the end of the period after as Miss Duff said we had "done nothing the whole time" she basically told us your project sucked. Next I had History. I knew both essays so that completely helped me out going into the test and I think I got all the fill ins right but the multiple choice was some-what hard, but they are only worth half a point each.

After school I went with Colin, Alex, Kevin and Sousa. I don't knwo what to say about it. It was fun. Colin had to get rid of his paintball gun because his parents foun dit and were pissed, so he decided to trade it to some wiger from Tewksbury for a skateboard. Thats right $200 worth of paintball equipment for a at most $50 skateboard. So when went to Little Peach to meet him. The kid pulls up with his mom driving, and he is wearing a hat with a weed leaf on it with his wife beater and over sized pants (wow).

Quote of the day (by far):
"What are you jewish?" -some random little kid to Sousa
"Why are you wearing a Spongebob shirt anyway?" -some random little kid to Sousa
Sousa almost fought the 8 year old...

Current Mood: chillin'...
Current Music: Simple Plan

Finals, nearing the end...
Wednesday - I had the MCAS Math and Geometry finals. I thought the MCAS Math was easy (got a 96, infact) but others found it hard. I thought the Geometry was hard but others found it to be relitively easy. Weird. Wednesday on the half day, I just went to Colleen's house with Maria, Shawnette, Caitlin, Sara, Pat, Cristin.

Thursday - I had MS Office and Science. The MS Office was easy for two reasons, 1) Well it's MS Office 2) We stayed in the computer room and al lthe answer i needed where right there on the study guide in my bag. On the other hand the Science final was a bit more defficult. The essay's were easy but the multiple choice killed me. After school, me and Shawn got a ride from Douty to the center and met up with Mike, Iggy, Ioanis, Cummings, Frong, Carlie, O'neil and later AJ and Chris. We went to the Harris' house and listened to Part Two is Better jam, they're so good. It was awesome. While we were at the center, Iggy figured out how to work Ioanis' car alarm, so Ioanis stole his own car infront of people so they would think he was stealing someone elses... pretty funny although it didn't work to well.

Current Mood: joyful

It's all over...
Today was our final full day of classes... thank the lord.

After school me and Arsenault went to blockbuster and rented Medal of Honor: Frontline. The game is crazy, its wicked realistic. Also rented Test Drive, which has some nasty cars in it. We downloaded the rest of the Eminem CD and I am listening to it as we speak.

Current Mood: anxious...
Current Music: Eminem?

Mini Road/Train Trip [Part II] (It's 9:30, I'm Bored, so here we go...)
Strung Out w/ Poison The Well, Rise Against and Rufio
We took Ryan's Van and of course Ioanis' Toyota love mobile. The adventure starts before we even get there as usual... Ryan allmost gets us lots 2 or 3 times on the way to the train. We took a wrong exit, went past the station and had to ask some possible homeless guy with shopping bags for directions. Not too much that we had laready gotten on the road and Ryan forgot his ticket so we had to go back t ohis house. Ioanis got so pissed because he didn't want to miss Rufio. He was absolutely flippin' in the car at one point. Funniest moment of the trip there Ryan runs a red light and a taxi coming out of a side street nearly hits him. Yeah, it was funny but only cuz no came even close to getting hurt.

After taking the train into Boston on Lansdown we decide to eat first and go to McDonalds. After eating we walked down the street to the club and most everyone was there already but we made it in plenty of time with 10-15 minutes to spare. We met up with Ramos and his crew and saw other kiddies we know.

The Music. First came Rufio. I heard alot of the CD mostly earlier in the day in Ioanis car. I have to say they are a good band, but they were less than stellar live. They are a young band, this is there first major tour so they have an excuse I guess. Next up was Rise Against. I was really excited to see them, I figured they would be really good live and great sing along to, they didn't dissapoint. At the beginning the singer said he "heard Boston kids don't move around" and this is bull so everyone showed him what was up. After one of the songs you could see that he was really thrilled that everyone upfront was singing along and everyone was moving, it was really cool. And at the end of the set me and steve slaped hands with him. Third was Poison The Well. I couldn't wait to see them and they were amazing. Knowing all the words and seeing everyone else also singing along is awesome, you can heard the whole crowed over the PA. Closing was of course Strung Out. They opened with a cover of "Ace of Bass" (oh lord)! But of course they were awesome, only went in the pit for a little but in the middle... I was beat from PTW.

We went back to the merch tables to look around and we got more than that. Ioanis, Colin and I went and met every member of Rufio (they were cool), a few members of Rise Against (including the singer, he's the man), and most importantly to me I met some of PTW. I met the new bassist and the singer (god, he's an icon). After the PTW set Ioanis got the bassist's pick also. Colin got some of PTW's autographs... I just wanted to shake their hands and tell them what a big fan I am. I MEAN THEY ARE HUMAN! We also gave the drummer from Rufio a piece of paper with TMLsite.com on it, he put it in his wallet so that's good.

Also Rob talked to the guys from Poison The Well and he told them that they are signing to ATLANTIC RECORDS. Aparently they said they "were useing Atlantic to get there music out there..." And I'm okay with it..

Current Mood: my ears still haven't returned to normal...
Current Music: Poison The Well, Finch
