My life took an unexpected turn not to long ago when I had to try and talk a friend out of suicide. I was able to but now this person is about to ask for more trouble and apparently im the only one who they talk to bout their problems. I honestly don't know what to do. Its stressing me out...

Although we haven't been extremely active we've played a few more gigs. We were asked to play at our homecoming which was really fun. We even got asked to play at this concert hall in Omaha but we declined cuse were not quite ready for that. We barely have time to practice right now. Anyway that's all from me so...
See Ya

River Riot was AWESOME!! I met Seether, Sick Puppies, Safety Suit, and Filter. Safety Suit was extremely friendly. It was cool.
This is my last day of summer and I am not ready at all for it to be over. I think back on all the things that happened to me this summer and although it did not start very well and June was... well not good. Once July hit everything started to get better and this summer became a great summer. Anyway... cant think of anything right now. I came on knowing what I was gonna write and now I forgot. So this is a pretty stupid and pointless journal and Im not gonna waste anymore of you time. bye

My summer has been pretty boring. I haven't done much and I really need to get out and live life, do some crazy things, get more social. Now that schools out is kinda harder to keep in touch with friends. The most social ive gotten is our band. Speaking of our band we've got 4 gigs so far lined up. 3 of them are within the first week of July. Its gonna be great. Our PA system is bought except for a couple of mics and cords which we are getting tomorrow. Im really excited.
Omaha has this huge concert series every year and its called RIVER RIOT. And I cant believe who is coming this year! Finger Eleven, 3 Doors Down, Seether, Stained and The Sick Puppies and Ive Got Tickets!!!! Its gonna be friggin awesome!!!

It has left me depressed, confused, angry, and recently happier (nothing u really wana hear me talk about). Its taken me 2 weeks but im finally starting to get back to normal. TRACK!!!! Yes track has started, and Im running the best I ever have. Ive lead every race ive ran in the 2mi but always get beat in the end by my fellow teammate who is a senior by like 1/2 a second lol. Oh well so far a 2nd and a 3rd is what i got. We run together every race and during one we were so far ahead that we were talking and havening a conversation while running the race (funnest 2mile ever lol and it got us on the front page of the paper ) So thats whats been goin on. The band has been pretty inactive lately cuse of all the stuff thats going on like track and the school play, but after this weekend we will be back. After all we've got a birthday party and possibly an 8th grade graduation to play at. So thats whats goin on.
Have a great weekend!

Anyway... I don't really have any pictures cuse the person who i gave the camera to could not take a picture vary well. I got pictures but there very blurry. I got one with my phone but thats kinda of blurry too because its my phone. I might put it up though.

Even though it was kinda disappointing that we didn't win, we all had a blast. We watched the video of it and until then none of us really realized how good we actually were. We had a great time and immediately after stepping off stage we wanted more. I don't know what were going to do next but one thing is for sure, Its not going to be another year before we play live again.

Oh and happy St. Patrick's Day!!!

I'm really excited. We play last, which is awesome! The only problem is i don't think i can wait that long, lol. We will be playing covers of "Paralyzer" by Finger Eleven, "Cant You See" by Marshall Tucker Band and "How Far We've Come" by Matchbox 20. We will also be playing a song that we wrote. I hope thats good enough to win.

Well.. thats all I got, wish us luck!

Depends. Track started, first meet is at USD (university of South Dakota). so ya.... I dont feel like talking about much more. Idk, im kinda depressed right now, the past week has been an emotional roller coaster ride for me and its left me like this. (its stupid really) ....... so im not in a mood for a quote.

On another note. The band is comming along well. We added a new guitarest and he is insanley good. He has come up with some really awesome guitar riffs so mabye in the future we might start writing or own stuff but for now at least till battle of the bands, its gona be cover songs. We still dont have a name yet but we've got it narrowed down to two we will probably decide that tomarrow. Our singer is also gonna learn bass guitar. So things are looking good. Well thats about all, Have a nice week.

Aparentally, some of my friends are gonna go trick or treating for Halloween tomorrow. But this just isn't a normal trick or treating... event... thing. THEIR GOING CHRISTMAS CAROLING. wtf, its going to be so funny though. But seriousally, what would you do if on Halloween someone ringed your doorbell... "ok", you think to yourself, "more trick or treater... people here to take my candy." So you grab the candy and go to your door, but when you open it (expecting to see kids in Halloween costumes) you see a group of people singing Christmas songs!... wtf

Have a great Halloween!!!

The first player of this "game" starts with the topic, "6 weird habits/things about yourself" and people who are tagged needs to write a journal about their 6 weird habits/things about them, as well as state this rule clearly.

In the end, you need to choose the next 6 people to be tagged and list their names. Don't forget to leave a comment that says "you are tagged" in their devpage comments and tell them to read yours as well

1.I am obsessed with music, and my ipod is my life. If I loose that thing... I don't know what I would do.

2. Basically, the only books that you could get me to read and enjoy are the "Bartimaeus Trilogy" books.

3. I cant spell worth a crap. Thats ok though cuse thats what spell check is for.

4. I collect licensee plates, yes you heard me (Im trying to get all 50 states)

5 I listened to pretty much nothing else except Our Lady Peace for 4 months earlier this year.

6. When I'm board, or on long trips I still play those old pokemon gold and silver games on the gameboy color.

well there ya go.

Im too tired right now so ill tag 6 people tomorrow.

So this weekend I went to Boone Iowa. None of you know where that is so I won't bother telling you. Anyway it was fun. We went on this old fashioned train and saw the tallest bridge in Iowa which was really cool. I got some pictures but I forgot to charge my camera so it went a little something like this. Turn on camera, take pic and turn it off right away, then repeat until battery runs out which it did halfway through the trip, but oh well.

#1 ~RisGrestarSFX He seems to always be the first to comment on everything I Post. I appreciate that, thanks. [link]

#2 ~soaku You will not find this in his gallery, but he made it for me when I was in desperate need of an icon and I don't care if he doesn't believe me but I still like it.

#3 *Saydee72 A truly amazing artist and one of the first people I met on DA. [link]

#4 ~Whalelover4ever A great friend who has showed me many things (both related to DA and not), He is probably the person who I have kept in touch with the most from DA and probably the entire Internet for that matter. I like this pic and the story behind it [link]


Hey guys, Thanks for everything.

We had this HUGE flood a couple weeks that covered 25% of our town. (really bad) I couldnt get much pictures though cuse they wouldn't let you get vary close so the only ones that I got were from my hill which is on the opposite side of town. There still is a lot of water everywhere. Most of the houses that were under water were a total loss. Our track was in that part of town and it is completely destoried. So the closest undamaged track was in Nebraska. So thats where we practiced. So to summerize it all up, we ended up practicing for the "IOWA" state track meet in NEBRASKA. Who goes out of state just for a track practice??? We do. The good thing is that we might get a brand new track for next year because ours is ruined. It was old anyway.
Well I hope you all have a good weekend. I know I will.
Se ya.

It is going to be a great easter weekend. We had our first outdoor track meet today and I got 4th in the 2 mile with a time of 11:49 (I should have had 3rd but I got out sprinted in the last 200 meters and lost by 2 seconds but oh well, Im not going to lose any sleep over it), not quite what i has aiming for, but considering that it was our first outdoor track meet when everybody else has already had 2 or 3. It was also FREEZING and windy so I don't think I did too bad. My mile though was not good at all but it will get better. There is plenty of room for improvement and there will be much of it. Anyway we won the meet for the first time sense forever. Its been a long time since we've gotten to run a victory lap. Good times.

Tomarrow I get to see Mutemath! I cant wait! Then Easter, Im really Excited. This weekend is going to be a good one.

I got my new icon that I made with Photoshop and I am vary proud of it. You're probably thinking that I am obsessed with Mutemath... I dont know if I am but they are one of my favorite bands. Everybody says that I over rate them way too much, but they are awsome. Just because they are not a "Big band" (yet) Doesn't mean that they are not good. Not much people know about them and if they did they would like them too. I still need to make an ID, I need ideas though so if you have an idea plz tell me, thankyou.

Anyway I hope you all have a great Easter and Easter Weekend.

Until I think of something else See ya.

I think that I am just about done updating my new page. There are a few things left including, making an ID, making a new icon, posting new stuff. etc.

Anyway i finally got photoshop installed and now I just need to figure it out.

I have a very busy week ahead so I may not be on a lot within the next week or so. It is going to be hectic. First I have school, then track practice + a track meet on Thursday, after track practice every day I have to go to play practice for our school cuse we have dress reherssals all week and I am the Tech Director (lights and sound) so they cannot preform a show with out me. On top of all that I have homework so lets just hope I can make it through the week

For those of you who are waiting on the second part of my story that I wrote just before I changed my name, I have already written it, but It is at school and seeing that it is a weekend I cannot get it, but by taking into the account the alignment of the planets, and the fact that I had animal crackers yesterday, I should probably be able to submit it sometime next week. (if im not to busy)

I am to lazy to add one of my famous movie quotes right now. I will add one later.
