today starts tomorrow

So this is it. The summer is here at last. And with it, comes the threat of another year of math that I just might not pass (fingers crossed, fingers crossed...) and Old Man Time's swindling of old friends. So here's to you, class of 2004. It's scary to think that after you graced it, the next kids to walk the stage will be us. I'm ready to leave this place tomorrow to be honest, but I'm staying back to ride out my senior year to the fullest. Figuratively, if I go into this last year not caring about a goddamn thing, I'll be set.

So I've made my choice: high school is bullshit.

It kind of reminds me of the first time I went down a water slide. I was real unsure of myself at first, and I hesitated a good while before I took the initial ride down, but it was a hell of a ride, I enjoyed myself the entire way. Until about halfway when I stopped sliding and worried that some fat kid would come screaming down the tube from behind me and knock me unconscious and I'd drown in the depths of the deep end at Golfland/Sunsplash. At least in high school, I never had to worry about this.

So here's to you, my friends.



That's right. It's time to clink the glasses together, cause there's a whole lot of summer to live up and drink up to our health considering we won't be on the every day basis in a matter of weeks. It'll go by too fast, I know, but theres not a thing we can do to change it.

And it sucks. It really does. These are some of the kids I love the most. Kids I'd gladly take a bullet for. Kids who I just sort of met and already love...



Kids who I threw my guts up around and still looked the other way despite my ignorant youthful exuberance. Kids who I have a history with. Kids who I made love triangles with.

Man, saying goodbye will be rough. One day at a time, friends.
