ok.

i took a test today.

i got a 90.

i'm content, but not happy.

breakdown:

if i get a 90 on the final exam and make up my 3 missing labs, then i will finish the semester w. an 89.

if i get a 100 on the final exam and make up my 3 missing labs, then i will finish the semester w. a 91. which is an A-. After that i'm planning on asking my teacher if he can just hook me up w. the extra points to push me up to a 92, which is an A. so this next test is really big. i get to get my study on... so next time i'm blogging will probably be August 6th, the day of the big test.

how demoralising.

cws thanksgiving went well, but tomorrow and monday are gonna be 'big things popping' nah mean?

-Dan.

bubbly.

i skipped school today to hang out w. ronick. :] i'm cool? i'm cool. i'm gonna check out the notes in a few minutes.

i played basketball at kingsway w. fast black people. fast. redundant. but so necessary.

then devotional. someday soon, hopefully i'll be able to do a good blog. no time/motivation/thing to blog about. i guess after thanksgiving. perspective.

-Dan.

good service.

today's service was very spiritual. the chicks in choir were merking it. like louder than loud. very nice. then the usual cws secretary, practice.

then..

i drove to kuya allans party. everyone from SNJ got there an hour early, so we went to the morristown mall. then we went back to the restaurant... it started w. a P. i don't know what it was called. the food was good. i mooched off lorrena and annleigh.

then afterwards,

we left a bit early so we could play baseball. i took ronick home and then went home and changed. then we hit the field. i'm getting better. slowly. i still suck. but less. today was a fulfilling day.

i'm probably skipping school tomorrow. i'm letting ronick decide. i'm not going if he doesn't go.

-Dan.

joshuas baptism & final practice.

today joshua got baptized in forest hills. i didn't sleep last night... so i was tired all day. we left @ 430am. got their @ around 730am. just guessing. my dad drove so slow... but yea. saw some friends. mouthwash. anyways, congratulations joshua.

final practice w. sis fe. to put it bluntly, we got it in.

now sleep before another fulfilling day at church tomorrow.

i hope we play base/softball. i've been anxious to try out my new glove!

my cousin annleigh squirts.

-Dan.

dancing in the rain.

it's 6 o'clock.
i'm hopping out of the bed.
except it's 6 pm.
so fml.

my brothers getting baptized tomorrow in forest hills. i have to wake up @ 4am.

then final practice @ 630pm w. sis fe.

-Dan.

84.

my first exam grade. hopefuly mr. LaBelle adds a curve. i'm pretty disappointed.

96.

that's my goal for my next exam. sigh.

-Dan.

there we go. there we go.

i think we're live again.

i took my first college exam today. it was pretty hard. i'll post my grade when i get it. i emailed my teacher about it, idk when he'll send it.

i was almost late for devotional today. made it w. no time to spare, but @least i made it. i'm happy i don't have school tomorrow.

i really hope i'll be able to go to chicago this summer.

later.

-Dan.

show me the good life.

i missed another day of school. somehow, all 3 days i missed were lab days. fml.

i'm just going to eat my freeze pops til all my problems go away. sigh.

maybe play some 2k5, the greatest football game ever made will help me cope.

i have to perform tonight. jolly good time.

sigh. i'm going to have to make up these labs eventually.

i went to court today to pay 30 dollars and present my insurance card that i didn't have last time i was pulled over. it took really long.. :T court sucks.

i got invited to play basketball at kingsway... but i have to perform. i shall play on monday.

-Dan.

i never knew a luh. luh. luh.

a love like this.



___edit. 1004pm.

i got an easton baseball glove, compliments of ateh alice.
and i bought 200 freezepops.

-Dan.

circumstance.

gosh.
my syllable arrangement.
cursed. tainted.
forever sick,
like the father of Blanket
after he finished his music career.
and bowed out.
that's just a brief shout out.

look what you did,
now the notebook is opened.
try and match me verse for verse.
g, it's hopeless.
my rhyme books is so fat,
i call it bloated.
leave cats crying
like some general hospital soap sht.
MJ and not the one that groped kids.
all i do is carry packs of gum
and some dopeness.
focus. i'll eat you alive. locust.

i lay down wood, like el toro.
by the way.
the viewing and the service for your rhymes is tomorrow.
and there's only more in store.
i'm on point, like i'm keeping score. :O
get merked now or later. either/or.
i'll make you eat goat dick, at ka amors.
more?

later.

-Dan.

sunday.

church--
not as long of a service as i expected. the lesson was 47 minutes according to kuya JP.
me and chris passed our oral audition (twice).
left right after practice.

WD park--
got their early. played with the jungle gym, til lorrena, chris, myleen, dee, jaime, and the warners arrived.
played basketball w. ronick and chris.
softball homerun derby.
ritas water ice.
i want to buy an infielder baseball glove.

-Dan.

moms birthday party.

it was basically a 9 hour mario tennis tournament. won atleast 20 something games. lost 1. it happens. a lot of food. a lot of friends. now a mess. now sleep.
pictures later.
leftovers for the next 2 months. -_-

on another note, i don't need to attend devotional @ the chapel anymore, cause i'm not performing on the 27th. sucks, but on the bright side, i save a lot of time/gas.

church tomorrow. in practice on friday, sis. fe said we would have an epic, long lesson so we should get a lot of sleep. i should be sleeping @ around 10, so i'll be good.

-Dan.

a letter to myself.

inside of
my mind
is a melting pot of
concepts.
my ideas. my logic.
beliefs
that i boa constrict with clenched fists.
dreams
that i'm hoping come true.
nightmares
that i pray don't.
weakness
that i hide.

all mine.
praying and hoping.

and if i'm losing you
you'll see what i mean
when my skull cracks open

after we bump heads.

and there.
you'll realize
that i
was so fragile.
to be handled with care.




every look that broke my spirit.
every nervous nerve.
every criticism you rattled my bones with.
every moment you let me down when it counted.
every failure i went home with.
every time you said you couldn't stand me.
every opportunity i came up short.
every time my best wasn't enough.
every moment i disappointed you.
every thing i don't understand.
every instance i bereaved your trust.
every ounce of bullshit you gave me.

all the things you used to try and tear me apart.
are all the things that make me.

-Dan.

first day of college.

nigga what.

time flies.

i woke up @ 9 something. i missed devotional. so i have to attend tonight.

i went home. napped til 11:20. then went to school. thinking i had class @ 12, and guessing it was like 20 minutes away, i wanted extra time, in case i got lost on the way there or couldn't find my class room. turns out, i didn't have class til 12:40 and i didn't get lost... so needless to say, i had a lot of left over time.

btw, the only summer class i'm taking is bio101. mr. labelle is a cool dude. except he pronounces 'ecosystems' like 'ecah systems' and 'processes' like 'pro seh sees'. other than his enunciation, he seems like the typical easy going, easy A, teacher that i dreamed of. class was supposed to end @ 4:35, but he ended it @ around 3:15. hopefully that remains a trend.

-Dan.

a long sunday...

i woke up @ six after sleeping @ around 5.

so i left home @ around 6:20. went to wawa. spent all my money for lunch on breakfast.

fast forward through all the church stuff.
-service.
-cws.
-subway.
-practice.
-failed oral exam.

then we went to the beach. only me, carlo, and chris went into the water. a wave knocked off my yellow wristband. i got merked. a lot of good food. curly fries. mack and manckos pizza. and my first cup of dip n dots. dick n cocks. i had cookie dough w. rainbow ice. it was pretty BA. then i was too tired to drive home. so now i'm sleeping over carlos and i'm gonna attend devotional @ 6.

MANNN.

to end on a sour note:

i have school tomorrow @ noon til 4. sigh. here we go.

-Dan.

UNCERTAINTY.

but for now...

there's only uncertainty.
not less.
not more.
slow mo.
fast forward
towards the future.
first i adore,
then i lose her.

climbed from point A
to point B
which i found out is
just a slide to take me back
down.
to solid ground.
reassuring my belief in
newtons laws of gravity.
she baffles me.

like a tongue twister.
but i miss her.
i must resist her.

reluctantly.
and so then.
the 5th of july marks the end.
of 'we'.

-Dan.

and so i say hello.

and this is for the 3rd time.


yesterday, before ronick and i went to devotional, he spilled slimfast all over carlos couch, and didn't even know it. laughter ensued. and that was @ like 5:30 ish. so then we left right after he cleaned up. attended prayer. then i drove home. i was so tired, cause i hadn't slept yet. i just woke up a few minues ago, @ around 4:15. NUTS!?!

on another note.

it's the 4th of July. i don't think i'm doing anything. but maybe something will come up later. who knows.

still waiting for B&E:BTH.



-Dan.

happy birthday feljohn.

so yesterday..

there was that picnic.

i woke up @ 11. called ronick. i was like,

yo dude, what time is this picnic?'

he was like 'now'. so i was like fml cause i was tired, but i threw on some shorts and got ready and all the jazz. @ the park, we had a barbecue. played some baseball. fun, despite the fact that i blow. basketball. volleyball. a cool new bike trail in the woods that i went through like four times. so yea.

home. shower. got ready for devotional prayer for the 27th and choir practice.

so we had the prayer and the practice. then we went out for feljohns birthday.

there was some disagreement on what to do, but eventually we just went to south street and got fries at ishkabibbles (sp?). supposedly it's home to the 3rd best french fries in the country. they were pretty banging, i'm not gonna lie. and then since i was too tired to drive all the way home, i went to carlos house to sleep over with ronick. we're planning on attending devotional at 6 am, which is in around 55 minutes... so yea. i don't know. i guess i'll sleep when i get home.

also.. i'd like to note that kuya FA's flight for california is leaving in an hour or two. i'm going to miss that dude. :I but i'm sure he'll be back often enough.

til next time.

-Dan.

hi.

So... now that we're a little bit into summer, i'm realizing that i'm having a lot more free time on my hands. i think i'm going to start blogging here.

so first, let me catch you up on what you've missed so far this summer.

i graduated from highschool.
mens league.
my parents went to california and left me home alone for 8 days. gasp :O
that's about all aside from the usual hang outs with friends.

--
now. towards the future!

i have school this monday.

does it blow, dan?
to put it bluntly, yes. very much so. but what can you do?

so tomorrow. there's supposed to be a picnic (which up to now, i know nothing about) and feljohns birthday @ night after practice. long day tomorrow. that's all for tonight.

-Dan.
