(no subject)
i had a whole lot of stuff that i wanted to write about the other day but i have no idea what im going to write now. let me try something.....
yesterday i went to the skatepark. i had an ok day and i talked to a really cool group of kids from Waggener. they were about as diverse as they come and they all had fun skating. there were some big black dudes skating, a goth dude in all black with dyed hair, and some of your typical skate rats. it was heartwarming, for lack of a desire to use a better word, to see how skating brought them together.
on my way home from the skatepark i got a speeding ticket for going 50 in a 35, but it was on River Rd right before it switches to a 45 zone. i still dont understand why the two lane part is 35 mph but the winding one lane part is 45. the cop was a prick and i think the only thing he said to me during the whole transaction was "let me see your license." i thought he could have at least explained it or told me something but whatever. he was on a motorcycle too and im pretty sure i could have knocked him off pretty easily with the Rocket.
in response to my parents total loss of trust in me, which i still dont fully understand, i made up a game. you might be thinking, "this is no time for fun and games." well, youre right...but it is time for just games. this game is called "Who wants to be a safe driver?" and its not fun and maybe its not even a game. basically anything i used to like to do behind the wheel, i force myself not to do anymore. no more going over 5 mph over the speed limit, no more tailing cars to make them switch to the right lane (i only did that once or twice), no more speeding up so that my car is next to that of a hot chick, no more non-full stops. if this wasnt a game i would really hate trying to learn how to be a safer driver. have you ever played the "quiet game?" well this game sucks just as bad, but its just something i need to do.
we had senior awards ceremony today. i got a really nice looking plaque thing but they put "John" on it instead of "Matt" or "Matthew" because i am registered at school as "John M" because i have three names and a surname. anyways, dont give your kids a first name that you will not address them as, and dont give your kids any more than two names before the surname. you will save them a lot of trouble like this. you care about your kids.....dont you?
this is funny. the white coats to our graduation tuxes say "Miami Vice: After Six" on the inside tags.
i remember what i was going to write about. the other night i went to Drew's Eagle Scout Award ceremony. basically that means Drew is a badass because that is major commitment. that also means i got to see Drew's lovely older sister, Sarah (choir of angels sings, beam of light comes down from the heavens). she wanted to sit next to me so we walked into the room arm in arm. she gave me a hug later and said i was cute. then i played "Jackson Cannery" on piano and she said that made me "ten times sexier." i said "WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATTTTTTTTTTTT?????????????" im pretty sure shes messing with me, but all in all it was still an awesome night.
a year ago i entered a really really pathetic phase. to my friends: if you ever see me like that again, beat me into a coma and we will both hope that i come to my senses by the time i come out of it.
being a fairly quiet person has a benefit every now and again, but i deal with it because thats just how i am. however im kinda sad about how i seem to have made no impression whatsoever on quite a few people at my school. i guess that can be better than being thought of as a total jackass but it would be nice not to be so forgettable. i guess thats a regret i have.
congratulations to everyone for everything.
