Do people in other parts of the world actually get excited about being 18, because I've been this way a few days now and I'm still not exactly feeling any urges (except from my mom) to do anything different than what I have been doing the past 16 years that I've know how to get what I want and then go to the restroom when it's time. I could go buy some cigarettes now if I wanted but I'm not thinking that it would be a wise choice for someone my age (that was joke... don't worry about laughing...

I assume there's a lot of people on here that don't know who I am again and that's great but this is more for those people that do know me really. Well, graduation has come and gone and I'm officially looking for a temporary job before I go off to my freshman year in college. I'll be studying music education and trying to get a job at the local radio station (it's next door to my dorm). I think I've got a job set up for me to start next week. The problem is that I'll be leaving like August...

My cozy family of three just recently moved to a new house. The day after graduation we made the move to this house, and it honestly only took about 6 hours to finish up including the lunch and dinner breaks. We live an hour from my old home and strangely, I feel rather at home already, but I feel bad because my best friends Sarah and Alex are now about an hour drive from my new house. I can't find it in me to be happy about where I live right now even though my mom and little sister both fou...

Ok, now I'm going to rant for a little bit, so if you don't want to read a rant stop now, otherwise, enjoy. I realized recently that just because you've been doing something for years doesn't mean you're going to be an expert at it or even anymore experienced at all. I was sitting in Jazz band, a couple days ago and I found out, by an odd chain of events, that one of the other seniors didn't know what an 8th note looked like. (For those of you who have a legitimate reason for not knowi...

I was talking to my 9 year old sister the other day about gas. The price and all that stuff really doesn't affect her life from her perspective of course, so it really wasn't that important for her to understand. The thing is that she's a very nervous, "worry wart", so she asked me why I get excited about gas prices and why I talk about them a lot. The truth of the matter is that I really, really, like just about anything dealing with math. The charts, graphs, and all that other stuff is ...

I was just thinking. I realized that I can be a jerk and that a lot of the time I don't get the impression that people EVER take me seriously enough. Or if they do, they think I'm just mad. I've decided to try and change that, because I don't want to be someone in trouble and not have anyone believe that I'd need help. It must be great to just lean on others when something comes up, but I typically am leaned on even though I have trouble standing on my own two feet at times. Am I suppo...

She uses analogies like "my knight in shining armor" and "prince charming". What does that mean though? Is she meaning it in a deep metaphoric sense? I wonder. Does she think of me as somone who has saved her from danger? Does she see me as a kind, sweet, honorable, noble, brave, and even handsome person? Or am I hoping for too much? All I know is that my love is my princess. She is a treasured jewel that I'll never let go into dangerous lands alone. If there is ever a problem in her king...

Doesn't that just totally suck when someone comes up to you talking about how they want someone to behave but yet they can't seem to act that way themselves? I don't really think I do that much to be honest so I feel pretty safe writing about this. It's just great how someone will come along telling you how much it hurts when someone talks about them behind their back. Then, the next thing you know, they start into the "he said she said" routine about someone else. Isn't that lovely? I thi...

So, there has been a few details given about the band's trip, to Walt Disney World in Orlando, so far, but I want to give even more so people aren't filling in too many blanks for themselves. As Shaun said, within about 15 minutes of getting to our Motel we are hit by a car. I'm not sure of the make but from what I saw it wasn't too bad of a car. It hit us as it went through a red light and smacked into the back of our bus. I hate to ruin the suprise, but the bus rides don't die off there....

Boy, wouldn't it be "interesting" to find yourself in that little bathroom in the back of a charter bus, just as the bus comes to an abrupt stop? You'd go falling to the floor with your pants down around your ankles seeing as how these things have just enough room for a small child to use them, you're chancing of landing face-down in the middle of the aisle would seem pretty good. Now, if you want to prevent that I'm sure you could always just prop your feet up on the wall, grab ahold of t...

AC Guild~ this is for you all. I'm "coming back" to JU, but I'm no longer going to be a part of the AC Guild. I'm not going to reply to anything any of you write unless it deserves the attention (if I give it enough to even read it). I was hoping that when I left some of you would realize that your style and whatnot is horrible, but you didn't. Now, I'm just going to write like I did before you guys were here. If you reply, make it good or that's all you're going to get. I'll delete it as soo...

Once upon a time there lived a vile being known as a teacher. His name resembled the shape of his face and the thoughts going through his head. He always thought of dicks and his face looks like a rod. Trying not to be politcally incorect I'd have to say he's funny... not haha, but queer funny. Mr. Dickerod was just returning from a "special conference" he had attended the previous day. When he returned his class-senses started tingling (a.k.a. his nose hairs) so he knew that there must b...

Ok, so I was just sitting at my mom's computer today with this big... THING sitting on the desk behind me. I wasn't quite sure what it was, but it said 'Google' on it. There was also a huge computer sitting on the floor. It took me a little while to figure out what was going on. Actually, I never figured it out on my own. I had to ask my mom when she got home. It turns out that the company she works for (Health Care Logistics Inc.) has decided to buy a search engine from Google. In case yo...

I think my mom is finally going to seriously look for a trombone for me to use in college. She showed one to me earlier tonight. It's a Conn88H I think. I can't remember right off the top of my head. But anyways, I already did some research on different types of trombones and of the factory made trombones Conn is one of the best for tenors. The only complaint I've noticed is the attachment seems to be a little sloppy at times, but that's not really too hard to fix in a shop. I've been wai...

I just wrote an article about this song but thought it might be unfair to not give you some lyrics to look at... I Can Only Imagine by MercyMe Album : Almost There I can only imagine what it will be like When i walk by your side I can only imagine what my eyes will see When your face is before me I can only imagine I can only imagine Surrounded by your glory What will my heart feel? Will i dance for you Jesus? Or in awe of you be still? Will I stand in your p...
