I am with an angel from the Big Island named Hannah. It is Christmas break. I've bought more presents for people this year than in the last four combined probably. I miss nothing sometimes, as that was all I had for a while. I also regret failing to take advantage of all the oppertunities presented to me this year, but it wasn't a complete loss.
I have been to Washington, California, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, Missouri, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Tennessee, Illinois, Virginia, Washington DC, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Deleware, New Jersey and New York this year. I have been in four bands, one of which was quite successful in that quaint local sense. I regained my dignity and confidence. I read a vast number of books on heady subjects. I expanded my vinyl library. I ripped nearly four days worth of music onto my computer. I constructed an underhanded catapult out of iron, wood and blood. I shot clay pidgeons with my favourite firearm. I watched a Hawaiian sunset with a beautiful girl. I bought a girl roses on Broadway and kissed her. I was the head of my AP World History class. I joined the PEACE Club and became Vice President. A number of people confide things with me. I learned a good deal of a language that, until this year, was only known by experiences with Stephanie and Taco John's. I rocked without regard of consequence. I supported homeless people and fledgling artists with my own money. I didn't shave very often. I wore womens' deoderant. I began to listen to modern music. I found the Maui Tacos in New York City. I stood in the shadow Thomas Jefferson, and laughed at the pathetically small Lincoln Memorial. I got in a car accident. I was pulled over by the police for driving thirty miles over the speed limit racing for the sun with Samantha. I gave advice, both good and bad. I quit a band after they kicked James out, and because they generally didn't sound too great. I stayed sober. I acted in a church production of the Nativity as King Herod. I became interested in the art of persuasion. I bought things I don't use enough to justify their purchase yet. I repaired some friendships and shattered others. I decided I was a Muslim and a Christian. I found The Philosophy of Andy Warhol. I let other people use my stuff, perhaps more than is prudent. I broadcasted live radio shows attacking the school staff, lawyers, Senators, specific people and bands, the Moanalua Winds and Symphonic Band and the Pope. I picked up trash at random places. I nearly failed a class and dropped it. I ate at a California Pizza Kitchen, one of the most dissapointing restaraunts in the world. I recorded original music. I supported couples and provided them space to make out in secret. I gave rides to a gay black kid. I braved 20 degree weather with no gloves.
