"Get yer motor runnin'. Head out on the highway!"

Mmm, this has been an emotion filled week. School was just how it should be when the end of the year is sooo close. Each class feels like those few seconds right before a race starts... All your muscles are tense. You're already covered in nervous sweat. And then the gun sounds. You're off. Like a hunted animal you make a mad dash towards summer, giving it everything your body has. And you, like me, trip. The mad weekend fairy tale started Thursday night. Hailey asked if I wanted to go to the movies on Friday to the new Harry Potter film with her, Katherine, and Sean and the rest of the group. I was pretty excited, kids. Not really to see the movie, just to hang out. I haven't really done that for almost a month or so. And, that put me in a pretty great mood for the rest of the night. After school, I tried to organize my ride. Which didn't work out like a fairy tale. Sean left before I could ask and Cory and Mickey were my only hope who, were out and out of touch. Mmm, I couldn't make it. That kinda ruined my evening, but I recovered and made a night out a' it. I found another Quentin Tarantino film so, I watched it. True Romance, it's called. The average Tarantino movie, real violent cliché, and I liked it. There were two awesome lines. The first was right after the credits. It was something like "Well, that's the way it goes. But, remember that it goes the other way too." Now, that can sound assinine to you but I've been saying, "That's the way it goes" a lot and usually when something bad happens. And I haven't really sat down and thought about "how it goes." This... This was just a mind opener, ya know? The other line had no meaning to me, at all. Just funny. Here's the scene, a mobster's looking for the two lovers, Clarence and Alabama. The mobster finds Brad Pitt's character instead and just acts real nice to him, uncharacteristic of a mobster, ya know? So after it, Brad Pitt's character, who's always stoned and his lines in the script were always "Brad says something while stoned," says Don't Condescend me. I'll... I'll kill you. It was pretty funny when I watched it. Maybe, not so much now. Friday fizzled out when I went to bed early.

Saturday came in with a bang, and not a good bang. Becca and Amanda are grounded pretty bad. Crazy stuff. The story is, Sean, Becca, and Bonnie were gonna sleep over Amanda's place that night but her mom wouldn't let them so they decided to sleep at the beach. Instead, Sean had the idea to sleep in Phil's attic, which is never locked. So they're setting up and the radio randomly comes on. It must have been a crazy night. And, a crazy morning. Long story short, Becca and Amanda are grounded so we've gotta sneak over to say "hey." Most of the day I spent bumming around online and Hailey showed me a new painting of her's. It was real nice; maybe, she'll post a picture of it in her journal. Sean and I made plans early in the day, which didn’t work out, but made plans later that were almost the same, and did, ha-ha. He drove over and picked Leah and I up and we drove towards Westerly and stopped by Tim Horton’s to see Amanda. We chatted a while and she gave me a free cafe mocha, best I've ever had!! We left and headed towards Wal-Mart where Sean told me about the book series, Left behind. I really wanna read it. Leah had the idea to buy Amanda flowers so we bought 'em, and drove on to downtown Westerly. We parked near Rossi Music and walked around the town talking. We talked about everything from modern technology, racism, prejudice, religion, genetics, just everything. We stopped and in the middle of the park, right on the brass rabbit to talk. Sean made sooo many great points and brought up sooo many topics that just made me think and revise some oh my endless life theories. One thing that really made me think about everything were these "worms" Sean mentioned. They're not really worms, just look like them. And, they have no real "existence" compared to other animals. They're just a collection of cells, not central nervous system, no brain, nothing. But, they can learn simple things like, navigating a very small maze to find food. And, the real wild thing is that if part of the worm is chopped up and fed to another worm the worm that consumed it knows how to navigate the maze. So, logically if there were millions of the worms and each was taught something else then chopped up into real little pieces then collectively to another worm, it would know everything each of the million other worms were taught. That is fuckin' mind blowing. We also talked about energy, which I am fascinated with. Apparently DNA aren’t the building blocks of life, something builds DNA, which is told to do that by something else. Which is completely mind blowing too. Like, there are these lizards that can clone themselves. The whole species is a clone of this one female lizard who can clone it's self whenever it wants, I think. So, this animal discovered to the secret to what's building the DNA or what's puppeting everything and telling things to build DNA. Which all comes back to religion. God, as described by most religions that are monotheistic, is part of everything and makes everything run. She's a force. Energy is, as described by science, part of everything and makes everything run. Scientists can't describe what energy is. It's just there. Makes everything up and everything runs on it. And, it can't be destroyed or created, weird, huh? So, maybe, energy is just a supreme being that has evolved so far that it's its own source of fuel and cannot die and cannot pro create. It can just change forms. Wild fuckin' stuff. There's sooo much more that we talked about but I don't wanna bore everyone with it. Let's say after last night I had sooo many things to think about, man. We decided to leave to get those flowers to Amanda and there’s something fucked up about that brass rabbit, man. Strange stuff happens around that. The whole time we where there, Leah said she saw strange things in the corner of her eye, running. I did too. Real odd, man. There is definitely something about that brass rabbit. On the drive back to Tim Horton’s we talked more about religion and this book about the true account of a psychologist's treatment of a woman who had numerous unexplainable phobias. The doctor put her under hypnosis and she remembered all this incidents from past lives. She, the doctor wrote this book which tries to explain karma and reincarnation. I really want to read that one. We got to Tim's and gave Amanda her flowers and just bummed around a while. It was a pretty rad time. Sean wanted to get home before twelve and wanted to avoid Amanda's mom so we left and talked more and more on the ride home. We broke away from the theological stuff and started talking about the summer and I told him about Leah's idea. She had the coolest idea to go backpacking across Chariho. Originally it was gonna be me and her but we'd kill each other. The plan now, I guess, is we'll gather everyone who wants to go, pack some bags, buy some food, buy some tents, and start hiking across Chariho. So, we told Sean about it and everyone's welcome to join! Just let us stop by your house and shower on the way, ha-ha. And I brought up the idea I had with Mickey. Real whimsical, and I love it. I jokingly suggested that Mickey should try to find the end of the world. So, this summer, if Erica wants to we're gonna all get in her van, maybe and drive around all day or so until we find the end of the world. Anyone's welcome to come, ya just need to throw in some gas money. I stayed up real late last night talking to people online, it was real fun. Damn, I was trying to make this a short entry. What the fuck.

So long, kids. Have a great day with no regrets.
