| Hey, I’m glad to see you’re reading my journal, which means ur prolly my friend. It’s been a longwhile since I wrote in this thing. And chances are, if the typical pattern means anything, I probably won’t write in this thing for another long while. In fact I think I’m one of the few ones still using this thing. Oh well, on to better things. So school is winding down, it’s slightly scary. 4 years in grade school seemed like centuries, yet these past 4 years of high school went by unimaginably fast. I know everyone always says this, but it’s true. Watching Ms. Claire nearly slice her finger off in freshman art class while zak, eric and I laughed at her seems like yesterday. Hmm. Yea I suppose I’ll stop talking all, as some of you would call, “emo” but I’m not gonna lie, I’m pretty disappointed that high school years are over. The rest of my life I’ll be wishing I could come back to this point. So, with that, next year I’ll be going to UC, which you probably already know. Mike (Miiiichelle) and I are rooming together up at Stratford Heights up on UC’s campus next year. I’m very excited about that. We have a 12 month lease and therefore will have a place to chill all next summer if we wish. The place is brand new and definitely a lot nicer than Daniels hall. That will make going to college much more exciting and hopefully it was a good choice. Anywho, more on that later when more info comes out about it. In other news, Mike, Zak, Johnny, and I went to the club (metropolis) like 2 weeks ago. The club is retarded, don’t waste your $7. Maybe it was just a bad night, but yea Mike and I definitely just sat there like wow, then went to the techno room and watched people break dance which was somewhat entertaining. I think it’d be more fun if all our friends went together, including girls. I honestly think we’d have more fun chillin together. We should maybe try that this summer, we’ll see. Last weekend was the X prom. We had a few problems with meeting up before hand because zak’s date or whoever it was running late but in the end I think it all went pretty well. We got downtown like 30 minutes early so Ellen and I just kinda cruised around the Nati for a while till everyone met up. The Maisonette was one of the coolest experiences I’ve ever had at a restaurant. Captain Dan was a player. Amouse Bouchse (I don’t know French) or whatever the shot glass experiment thing they give everyone is quite possible the nastiest thing on Earth. Even holding my nose didn’t work. I had the best filet mignon ever made and it was supplemented with this ridiculously good potato gratin thing. About half the time we were there we were just laughing. “I’m not really a big salad kinda guy”; “I was getting worried, I almost reached the halfway mark” and a buncha other things like how Eric and I were astonished by the quality of the bathroom towels “napkins” haha. I’m glad I went before they move, so I can say I went to the old true Maisonette. I wanna go back. Anyway, we got to Prom mass early which kinda sucked as we had to wait for things to kinda pick up. Plus the DJ wasn’t very good…..didn’t play piano man??? What’s with that? Jerkstore. Overall, I think we all had a good time, so I suppose the nearly 2 months of trying to figure out who’s going with our group and who’s with who all payed off. Thanks to all who made it a good time, and obviously thanks to Ellen for going with me. Oh yea I forgot to say…the Maisonette caught on fire when we were there too. They have these little carts that they push in front of each table to do tableside cooking and some guy must have hit a bump and it flipped over and the carpet was goin up in flames. I couldn’t really see it cause I was jammed back in the nook but evidently it was decently big and they were tossing water and stomping on it. Ha, not very often do u see 5 star restaurants screw up that bad. That drops em to a 3. But anyway… On to current stuff…this week sucked, all the teachers wanted to get in their final tests/labs/papers/projects. Plus my lack of motivation isn’t too encouraging. This weekend was a let down as well. Friday night I got off work and called just about everybody in my phonebook and only got a hold of Zak and Mikey C. I just decided to stay home and watched some movie on tv. Tonight was lame as well, I helped install cabinets at my grandma’s new house for like 5 hours and it was truly a bitch. Then I come home to work on this damn english essay and went to the sports mall where we did absolutely nothing. This week is senior week which will be fun as hell. Winter clothing on Monday, dunno what I’m gonna do there yet. Thursday is my last day of classes which is crazy. Friday = senior exit group interviews followed by Musicfest. I’m pretty excited because this week will just be really fun, the next week I only have one exam and it’ll be summer followed by lots of graduation parties…Then the best graduation party…Panama. I cannot believe we’re this close to Panama, I remember planning it like way back in October and thinking about how far away it was but how fun it would be. Ahh the long wait is over. My graduation party is Saturday May28th. If you read all the way down this far then clearly you are invited. Let’s just say I’ll be disappointed if you don’t stop by. So make an effort, cause If I’m invited to urs I will too. Okay seriously, it’s like 2:15am. I need some sleep because I have a shit load of homework to do this week (note sarcasm). But I’d like to take this moment to thank all my friends for all the good times we’ve had in high school together. If you’ve read all this, then you’re definitely a good friend. It’s not over yet, this summer will be baller. Alright, Goodnight and thanks for reading my novel I wrote here. Peace
……I dunno If I’m gonna continue writing this thing in the future, good chance this was the last. Hope you liked this sweet journal idea. But I promise I will do a much needed update to the website I used to do. I feel like resurrecting it soon. | comments: 3 comments or Leave a comment   |

| okay okay quick update.... im kinda sort of in a bad mood at the moment cause X lost tonight for the state championship in basketball. I'm not gonna lie, i honestly did not think we'd match up at all with Canton McKinley but yea we deffinitely played well the first half and decent the second. Johnny Wolf is my hero with 24 points 17 of which were in the first half, unbelievable. But anyway, i don't wanna talk more about the game but will talk mroe about the fun points of the short lil weekend road trip. Let's see, we left right after school got out and Mr. Eby needed a ride up to the game so he joined in and he talked about funny stories and things about why Mr. Becker still is allowed to teach at St. X, HA. It was fun ride. Our room was pretty small, a double bed and a reclining chair, but we played some poker and later went bumpin down High St. After we got some drinks we partied a lil more in the small room till about 5am. Oh yea i forgot to say the highlight of the night, we beat moeller! The next day we went to like 3 different malls around columbus until game time. overall it was mass fun.
yea, once again we were not once out-witted with cheers...
- chanting 700... since the hardguy, i believe it was #15 but dont remember the name, on moellers team kept shovin us around thinkin he's sweet and we cheered 700 to remind him of the 700 that he scored on his SAT. kinda mean, oh well.
- canton cheers NBA (saying the future of their players) and we respond chanting Wall Street.
anywho, exams are this week & thats not cool, but I don't ahve any exams on wednesday therefore it's a 3 day week, then spring break, rock on. k it's 2am and i just drove for liek 2.5 hours so yea sleepiness. peace | | comments: 1 comment or Leave a comment |

| Hey journal readers I suppose I'll write a lil in this thing since I have nothing better to be doing. Well let's see here...last week was Kairos which was really awesome. I can now understand how many people found it to be such a cool experience. I won't go into too much detail regarding it in order to not ruin it for others who still may be goin. Basicly my favorite thing was getting away from school and homework, from circuit city, and from all the distractions like this damned internet. I got to know a lot of the guys in the group a lot closer. More importantly i deffinitely realized some things i need to change about myself and my relationships with friends, parents, God, and all that stuff. It was deffinitely an awakening. K-109 group 2 (our name changed each time). Let's hope we continue to live the 4th. Overall i had a great time. I was surprised to see how many guys were also going to panama for senior trip since i figured a lot of them would be going during spring break instead. Ha and yes Willie T. we're deffinitely reestablishing the fun zone at the alumni race next summer, especially since the original "wompitors" or however it used to be spelled freshman year will be present... big J. Ruw and Molnar. Yea i'm deffinitely lookin forward to the alumnai run next year already.
Anywho, on to something new. I've realized for quite some time now that our weekends are progressivley getting worse regarding ideas or things to do. First off, i recognize that we're getting older and things that previously entertained us no longer suffice, but I think one problem might be that no one likes to all hang out together anymore. We have a bunch of groups of 3 or 4 people doing their own things and always trying to find something fun to do. Things are always more entertaining when more people are present. The more the merrier. So uhh how do we fix this? Hmm good question cause i dunno. Maybe if people started talking to more people online other than their select few people that thy feel most comfortable talking too and start including more people in their plans for the night. Just a thought. I'm not the best at it either but I just wanna try and have a lil more fun during the remaining 3 months of senior year. I feel like only a select few people actually call me on weekends with their plans as well as I typically call a select few with my plans as well. I dunno maybe i'll try including more people with where I'm going or where people are going for the night in hopes they'll do the same for me. Anyways I hope weekends start getting better as spring weather comes in.
Some other quick thoughts.. lets see.... St. X basketball beat Springfield South this past weekend and will play Troy this thursday night. Hopefully if we can pull off a win thursday and saturday night then we're going to party in Columbus to follow the team up-state for the final-four and hopefully championship game. That'd be an awesome weekend, butttt gotta focus on getting there first. We're also off school friday so i believe a few of us are going to the club somewhere. Duno which one yet, maybe metropolis haha we dunno but since we're sweet and 18 we can hit up the club for a party. On another note, we should have a hotel party sometime soon, i think that'd be fun. Spring break starts at 3:05 March 24th. I'm pumped. I'm not gonna tell my boss im on break so i can have a rest from school. I plan to get my ass outa the house every morning and run. If weater permits I hope to spend a majority of the time outdoors, thats how sick I am of this shitty weather. I'm hoping some concert comes near Cinci on break so we can road trip it for a night or two. I really wanna do like a 2 night road trip to somewhere not too far during break. Elder guys u can use ur thigns where you can take a day off school or whatever, or skip cause its not like we'll be trying that late in the year. I think the girls have a sprink break similar to ours but i could be wrong. K enough about spring break. I applied for honors at UC tonight, hopefully that works out. I don't exactly know what I'm gonna be doing for housing et since it depends largely on whether I'm accepted into honors. If accepted i might possibly get a nice dorm with Brian with our own shower and all that stuff, but I also still prefer dormin with my partner in crime, meeechelle allgeyer. I'll figure that out as soon as i get a response back which is hopefully soon. Oh yea, by the way...yay for March Madness beginning, it gives me something to do at night other than sitting on here. Ok i'm mass tired of writing in this. If you read through all this then I love you, cause you're a true friend, or something allong the lines of that. K, im done. cheers!

| yea, i guess i'll give a brief update cause I have nothing better to do. Lets see, this past weekend sucked if you didn't know, nothing went on and i actually stayed home on a saturday night...totally unplayerific. I hate how snow loves to come on weekends these days keeping me confined to this little room in my basement where i sit on the internet worthlessly. I hate that. Senior year shouldn't be spent sitting at home on saturday nights. I won't let this happen again. Anyway last night I went to the X basketball game against roger bacon. It was a good escape from home work on a weekday night, despite the fact that it was a blowout. Fun times nonetheless. UC lost tonight the second time to louisville, that dissapoints me greatly. My thoughts: 1)Make more shots in the first half 2)Kirkland needs to make his free throws 3)Bench Jihad Muhammad! Oh well, supposedly UC will be getting some good recruits next year so thats a start. Aside from that, lets see..... my work schedule for this weekend is as follows..thursday 4-9, friday 5-10, sunday 1-7. So schedule any ideas or plans you might have around that ;) haha. (as if we ever plan anything ahead, with exception to the hotel..that was solid) I started thinking about the remainder of senior year and I realized how fast it will go by. Now that I look at it from what I know of we've got something allong the lines of this:
Febuary - hopefully the party on the 26th occurs, that would rock. We also have the superbowl and crosstown shootout and valentines day....woo woo.
March - March is gonna be freaking awesome. kicking off march 1st-4th with kairos. on top of all this we have march madness going on which will prevent me from doing any homework, although i'm doubtful coach hugg's team will go far this year, it's still fun none-the-less. I have exams one week followed by a week of spring break. exams before spinrg break rocks cause then no homework. Plus i actually like exams better than regualr classes because i get outa school early and usually don't have to study too much more than a typical day. To top this off the season of spring starts i believe march 20th which is awesome because Jon hates this blasted snow.
April - Ahh sup....I believe there's a rather large party around that time of year for I believe Mike, Mike, and Johnny's birthdays. Last year's as fun, hope to repeat to some extent haha. following spring break will be the beginning of a huge decline in effort on my part in school most likely, it's inevitable. there was something else in this month that i can't remember but i'm sure it's hella cool.
May - what can I say? warm weather, high school is over, weeks will fly by even tho these will be the weeks that I don't want to go by quickly. These weeks will be fun no doubt. I'm pumped. oh yea i forgot to mention that school will end sometime at the end if this month leading to summer time.
June - Panama....enough said.
that's my forecast of the remainder of senior year. I'm pretty excited. I'm sure a few more parties, events, concerts will occurr here and then as well. overall, on a scale of 1-10....i'd say it's pimp. hopefully it turns out to be as cool as i see it now. if it isn't, there's a simple solution to fix that......Flusshle! yea you know what i mean.
Peace. Bye. Cya. Come back later. | | comments: 4 comments or Leave a comment |

| hey, sup. Here's a brief update. Things are getting a lot better in life which makes me happy. Second semester is finally here which means my schedule is greatly relaxed compared to the previous plus the fact that spring is on the way with graduation soon after. This past weekend was excellent. Saturday night was an excellent indicator of what senior trip might be possibly like for one night. Mikey C and I demonstrated how to party... um, flusshle! But anyway i had fun and i think everyone else did as well.
hmm in other news, i was able to switch from freshman engineering directly into electrical engineering, because i believe thats what i want to go into. I figure the freshman and sophomore year courses for all the engineering subjects are very similar if not the same, so might as well just apply to the area i think i want, and can change it later. Oh yea, i got accepted into Ohio State's engineering school as well and Dayton's with a $6500 scholarship. As to where I'm gonna go.....right now im still deffinitely leading towards UC for numerous reasons.
anyways. i'll update it again soon and more often. but the UC vs UNC charlotte game is back on so i gotta go | | comments: Leave a comment |
| I decided it's time this journal needed a little new design so i kinda quickly threw something together and there ya have it. I wish it would allow me to make some parts transparent but it doesn't wanna let me. Anywho, today is new years eve, hot! I'm glad to see 2005 is finally here. I remember thinking when I was a freshman that '05 seemed incredibly far away, yet it went so fast. It's kinda dissapointing but at the same time I'm looking forward to deffinitely kicking it into a low gear and coasting through the rest of the year and enjoying the time I have left as a kid and all my friends in the same city. A year from now it'll be very different, a lot of us friends probably just coming home from college and just seeing one another for the first time since summer. Oh well, growing up will bring awesome freedoms but harder responsibilities at the same time. I'm just looking forward to this summer. Senior trip will rock. No more running cross country, although I deffinitely hope to keep running every so often over the summer to stay in some kinda shape. Oh yea, another thing this summer is that I get to go to Europe. Woo woo. I'm pumped. It's for liek friggin 15 days and I believe I'm goin to London, stonehenge, Caen (normandy beaches and stuff) ,Paris, Stutgart (place where they make mercedes, porsche, and volkswagen), Munich (Haufbrahaus to drink beer and to Dachau which is like a nazi concentration camp), and finally Berlin. Yea it'll be fun and deffinitely a great experience getting to visit the main cities in england, france and germany. I have to pay like $1000 of it but hey, going to europe for 15 days for $1000 is like a once in a lifetime opportunity. Anyway... yea this summer will rock.
In other news, Christmas was last saturday. I got an iPod which is awesome and a surprise. In addition I also got a bunch of needed clothes, electric shaver thing, and small other things which are cool. So far this Christmas break has sucked pretty badly though I must admit. Snow and freezing temperatures ruined all last week and so far I've really only gone out with my friends 2 nights of the entire break. That's pathetic :( . Hopefully this newyears weekend will cheer things up a bit, but i find it hard to cheer things up when you have a full week of school chillin 'round the corner with exams on top of that. Anyways I've been writing in here for too long. It's 2:30 am... I think I shall go to sleep now and stop this writing. Anyways, so long 2004. Happy New Years. Hopefully 2005 will get better. | | comments: Leave a comment |
| | ha how could i forget to talk about thanksgiving in my last entry. I knew i forgot something. tonight is big turkey night. I'm most likely gonna gain some pounds from eatin like a quadrabillion plates of turkey. quadrabillion probably means like 5 plates but yea it will be sweet. The best dinner of the year, specially when my g'ma makes it. Hope everyone has a great thanksgiving and eat a crap load. The rest of my journal entry is below ;) | | comments: Leave a comment |

| | I have not written in this thing in months and I'm trying to put off writing my college essays so i'll just write in here. Cross Country season is over, which makes me sad. Besides that nothing too significant has happened. The cold weather is starting to settle in which makes me sad. Cold means no more driving with the windows dropped and wearing mass clothes... ahh i want it to be spring again. oh yea christmas is coming up, there's one good thing about winter. I'm not gonna wait till the last few days before christmas to get my gifts like last year. The bad thing about christmas time though is I'm gonna have to work like every night that i'm free :(. This weekend i gotta work friday, saturday and sunday which sucks. But hey all this working will give me plenty of money for Christmas break and for all the gifts i gotta get. hmm i dunno what else i wanna talk about right now. oh yea, anyone who wants to go skiing sometime lemme know cause I've been wanting to for the past 2 years. Besides that I think i'm finished. I'll write some more later, but i gotta write college apps now :( peace | | comments: Leave a comment |

| ok here's another little brief update. today is wednesday...it needs to be friday. next week are exams which will not be fun but will at least make the week go faster. Tomorrow is the district open race which is always fun stuff. Me and correa brady's team, basicly picked all the minorities on the team plus a few others, are gonna battle it out against willie t's team. Willie picked all blonde haired blue eyed people to form the aryan team. haha stupid nazi's. Anyways tomorrow's race will be fun, and my last race for st. xavier :( it'll be fun tho. Since no one really cares too much about the district open, this week is like the funnest week that we seniors have have been waiting 4 years for. Yesterday we kinda started a new tradition and instead of running a workout we had the Senior Bowl I. We tied 21 to 21. I had 2 touchdowns but we sucked at defense and they tied it up. The game will continue at cross country banquet. Today was the tunnel run. we couldnt do it on monday cause the tunnel was completely full of water. For those of you who don't know the tunnel run, basicly it's a traditiong forcing the freshman into a tunnel allong a creek thats about 3 feet tall with about 4 inches of water rushing through it. When they get to the end where the water falls into the little pond thing, they have to scail a stone wall to the side without falling off into the water. Only 2 freshman made it this year. Ahh goodtimes... haha and yet somehow the coaches didn't know about it. In case you were wondering... i deffinitely fell in when i was a freshman as well. only 4 of us made it.
otehr news.... i really don't like all this college application pressure. It's annoying and I already don't have much time for school, CC, and work as is. godd i cannot wait till christmas break and second semester begins...also the beginning of mass senioritis. k im off. peace | | comments: 1 comment or Leave a comment |

| Today was GCL's which was fun. we swept the league on every race which was amazing. freshman ran intelligently and didn't go out too fast like other races. JV ran terribly but luckily it was a 3 way tie and it came down to the 6th man which our 6th was the best. yea wayyyy too close. i was impressed with varsity finally. we finally ran like we should be which was a relief. open guys, ha hell yea what an effort. i think times went up a lot today i guess cause of the cold or whatever. I felt a lot better this week and beet several guys on my team that i am supposed to be running with. they usually run 18:30's but times sucked today and they came in around 19:15. I felt for sure that i ran a ton better than last week and my stamina felt great yet somehow i only dropped 8 seconds to 19:01. :( Yea i was pretty pissed since the entire race i thought i was doing well since i was beating brandstetter and utah. oh well i'm gonna take the district open race seriously for the first time. I've only run 5 races this year because of my injury so I'm gonna run hard at any opportunity available. I really hate VOA though but we'll see how it goes. good job today guys.
in other news, umm i don't know much other news. I was accepted into purdue engineering college which is cool but i don't know if i'll go there or not since it costs a lotta $. I applied to UC the other day as well and hopefully i'll be accepted into the college of my choice. UC seems a lot more practical but i still don't know. I'd prefer not to stay in town but UC has a good engineering school as well. o well. My brother and i are thinking about possibly training for the flying pig next spring which would be fun. We'll see if it actually happens. If anyone else wants to run it then you should. We can run together every once in a while. who knows. just an idea. anyways im done. cya | | comments: Leave a comment |
