I Remember.

I could not really say what happened Saturday because I forgot.

I remember last summer. Every night was a late one. Skateboarding was my priority.
Friends were second.
Porno is your master. I remember those days. I remember it so well. I promise.
I remember Sam, and Garrett. Mark and Willy. David and Geoff. Mecca and Wesley. I remember all of it.
The Used reminds me of last year.
Around the start of the school year. When I thought waking up at seven was early.
I took the time on the ride home today to back track last year.
Superior is what I felt. Because it was eighth grade...
I remember meeting my teachers...
Mr.Strzelecki is a man that will always live in my heart. I promise. I remember EVERYTHING. Garrett and I always getting made fun of because of it. That was so great. I wonder what we would have done if he did not exist.

September came...and Sam had to move.
I remember the day he told me...in my driveway. The sun was setting, but still at its worst. It was me Jared and Sam sitting there...On my bench. He broke the words and I sat there and just thought, and thought and thought for hours on end. I cried at the thought of having one of my best friends put on the other side of town.

There were times when his family doubted the move...but then it was official.
I remember his going away party. I remember having everyone gang up on Jared.
I remember him bossing me around.
I remember the cake.
I remember Mr.Neglia's voice.
I remember hanging out. I remember him making me laugh.
I remember everything.
I remember meeting Lindsay that night. I remember. I remember.
I remember the next day, I had a soccer game.
Willy spent the night that night. Reno 911 was what our eyes were glued on...Then I remember going to Sams...and they were finishing all the packing. T
hen I remember his Baby Blue Purcell hat. And I still have that one vision...that one memory, as I was leaving the driveway of that Misty Morning home. It was Sam loading a small table into the back of that truck. But the vision was blurred. Blurred of tears. Don't call me a pussy.
I remember that next week at school..it was so slow. I promise.
That Friday.
September 26th may have been one of the best nights.
That was church night.
Questions were asked and I was not lonely anymore.
I remember those countless hours. Late nights.
Phone conversations. I remember spending every morning outside, in front of that school. Sitting on those bricks.
It was a glance at passing cars.
A session of hugs and held hands.
Notes passed and late September breezes.
The notes of which are in a box that I'm looking at riiight now. I
remember one morning, holding hands. I was bouncing up and down and EVERYTHING felt so damn right.
Because we were together and the winter was coming. It was so great...
Then I remember that Friday. Homecoming. I also remember meeting Christina that one day at school.
Then I remember all those volleyball games with Willy. I remember getting in lots of trouble. Endless D-Halls. I remember Mrs.Callahan's class with Greg and David. I remember that so well.
Then I remember Halloween.
And I remember Jared and Willy on that street corner.
I remember the chase.
I remember fights. And tears.
I remember regrets. Sad songs and loneliness.
I remember that ring. I remember that ring. I remember it on your finger.
I remember that last fight.
I remember November fourth. I remember that night.
I remember soccer practice that night, and that turn on my stomach as I came home. I remember every night at soccer practice staring at that moon. I remember Signals Over the Air.
Then I remember those weeks that seemed to last forever. E
very Tuesday was a torture.

Then I remember when it was starting to get cold, colder and colder.
The nights were so fun. I remember bright lights is what we lived for.
Then I remember Christmas coming it was fun. Sam's long visit...It was so great. Also when I started to straighten my hair. When I first met Daphnye...
I remember that week at Willy's house. Well it was not a week. But it was good. Garrett Willy Zach Sam Felix David Mark. Sleepovers and stunts. BB-Guns and cream soda. Making each other choke on our drinks with jokes. Imaginations. Day dreams. I remember the 27th of December. Going to Lindsay's house with her birthday card. And her not being there..It was funny. I also remember New Years with Rey. Fireworks are your only light. Muh Friend. Tio Junior. Tio Mike. The family. The Whole family.

Grandma started getting sick around that time. I remember every weekend at the hospital. I even remember the day we had to leave home as fast as we could to go visit her because Junior swore she was gone. That was it. But thanks to God it was not. February rolled by. Then it was time for her to go. I remember that funeral home. Those days at school were hard. Funny I only remember Mrs.Callahan's room only. The winter ending is depressing. Occasional
visits from Sam. School ending and summer starting. That last day was not the way I would have like it to be.
Picking flowers from those trees on the bricks. The school dance. Jealousy because you took the last dance with someone else. Summer being the worst. And this school year beginning.
I'm not sure if I should have made this part of my entry. Because a lot still has been left. It's getting nice outside. Sam is here this weekend. Then here again for Winter...yes!

Sunday was such a great day. At first Willy wanted to come over, and so I told him to. Rey came over and we just hung out, played Halo. Watched Trucks! and Wildest Police Videos. Made fun of them. Ate junk. Then you would never guess who showed up...Muh Friend! Yes! My day was made just by seeing that mans face. It was like a movie. He came in through the back gate because we were all in the backyard, and as he came in his favorite song was playing. "We-don't-need-no-education." We ate with him and stuff. Then we went swimming later as the night approached. Then Muh Friend came and told us a 'story'. "Look My Friends, let me tell you a story. I was in a big big bowl of cereal. With lots of Cinnamon Krunchers. And it was full of milk. A bowl the size of this spa! My friends, but I could not find a spoon! But then finally I did, and I ate the cereal. It was great my friends." "Was it good Muh Friend?"- Rey "WHAT?!?!!"- Muh Friend. We sat and talked in the spa about stuff and hair. Girls and Rey. We're homos.
It's great. As that happened Muh Friend approached us "My friends! What we need is a gallon of milk. A bowl and Cinnamon Krunchers! If I buy some my friends, will you eat it with me my friends?" "Of course." "Okay my friends." So then Rey, Willy and I went upstairs. Listened to "Stairway To Heaven" back wards. Then we went downstairs to see Muh Friend with a box in his hand. Labeled 'Cinnamon Krunchers' Ah! It was so great. We thought he was crazy when he said "Cinnamon Krunchers." because we thought he had gotten the name mixed up. But he did not. It was so great. That's when we decided to form the "CKC" Cinnamon Krunchers Club. You have to eat a bowl with Muh Friend to be in it. We ate a bowl of cereal each, and Muh Friend insisted that we lite candles.
It's so great. We talked, took pictures. And heard Muh Friend and paid attention to everything he had to say. "Tony the Tiger my friends!" Oh my Allah, we started laughing so damn hard when he said that. It was so funny. So that was that day. Willy had to go home, and then Rey did too.
Monday was so boring. I thought nothing was going to happen. Nothing happened during the day so then we ended up going to my uncle Mikes. We sat around, ate and me and Rey went to Muh Friends truck and just chatted about school and stuff. Then the family gathered around the computer to see all the pictures of Muh Friend on-line. They were so amazed. It was great. So then Rey Miguel and I went upstairs to play video games which were fun. Rey pointed out how unrealistic the game is and it was funny. It was time to leave, and time to start a new week at school.
School...nothing none of us look forward to. I remember fifth period Tuesday. And the second I saw Miss.Davison I knew it was a death. I just knew it. Before the lady opened her mouth, before anyone talked to her. Before she opened that classroom door, I knew something was wrong. And I knew someone had past away. So we were doing speeches and she broke down and explained to the class what was going on. It got me down, and the rest of the class down. The rest of the day went good. For the most part. Progress report makes me happy. Everything great. I pray to be happy, for Miss. Davison, my family, friends, school and everything. I have a great tendency of making great things horrible.I think. My friends are great. I get jealous easy. I cry a lot. I think about the world too much. I want to thank you. Yeah, you for getting this far. I'm glad I mean a lot to you. I'm being honest.
