It was late in the night, and a cold and biting gale blew off the waters of Lake Michigan. It was a night for resignation, to give up, to fall by the wayside of life. No one wondered the streets, they only slept there; in the boxes in the alleyways of the side streets of the city. Shantytowns, “jungles,” for those who had had the least to lose but ( Read more... )

The last few weeks have been really hard for me... I really feel like all I do is go to school, go to work, come home, stress out over homework, and grab a few hours of sleep. Or bypass some homework for sleep, and then stress out all day because I haven't done all my work. And I'm always so tired, I'm completely exhausted all the time in every way ( Read more... )

anyone who religiously reads my myspace blog (which, by the way, i have a total of THREE subscribers to, thanks GUYS) will already have heard about my most recent ventures in becoming a juvenile delinqent. on thursday night, after soccer-gaming it in the rain, running to richmond to meet wally and co. at livewire, and rocking out earnestly to some ( Read more... )

so my dad emailed me about if i needed money, and you know... sure. it's the only time he's emailed me since my birthday/the 4th of july. so he's dropping off the money at one of his friend's work while he's in town, because i guess he'd rather not see me, what with being completely consumed in bumming around the country and snorting coke. and ( Read more... )

Yaaaay... I got off work about 1 1/2 hours ago, and I'm completely bored. Everyone that I hang out with is still there, at work I mean, and my parents left to go to some farm, and I don't have any movies to watch and I would prefer as little brain activity as possible, so reading is out of the question. So this will have to do ( Read more... )

So Haleigh and I have started work at our ultra-classy Lee's Famous Recipe. Basically, it's the best job ever. I think. Really, we don't do anything - except clean. The first day we started (Monday) I jumped up to work the drive-thru, and without thinking I was like "Welcome to Wendy's!" and when the guy pulled up he was like "For a minute there I ( Read more... )

For haleigh.

Rules:
Things you enjoy, even when no one around you wants to go out and play. What lowers your stress/blood pressure/anxiety level? Make a list, post it to your journal... and then tag 5 friends and ask them to post it to theirs:

1. Haleigh's new-age yo-yo deal (astrojax)
2. Listening to music in my room... or anywhere. Ya know.
3. ( Read more... )

My family hosted 2 cross-country cyclists this weekend - Jeff, an English guy who lives in France, and Adrien, a French guy who lives in Spain. I didn't really get to see them much because I'm really never home, which became very evident when they framed a few pictures of their stay for us, and in a note at the bottom I was mentioned in parenthesis ( Read more... )

I would just like to say that I love all of you, and this revelation has come to me after trapsing through the woods to the Pigg House. If you haven't been to the Pigg House, it's just about the scariest place ever. It's an optimum location to pee your pants in a totally justifiable manner. It's 2 story log cabin where an entire family was ( Read more... )
