but yo, today was cool.

so.

i woke up @ 4am cause i'm a loser.

played madden.

went to church.

performed everything.

finished choir practice.

that's the usual sunday... but then after that, i stayed and did secretary work til 7pm. i know... jumping jalopies batman! that's a long time. i sense a passing of the torch from JP to me, in terms of the bulk of census work and all that jazz. but i don't know if i'm 100%.

then, i rushed to play volleyball. played for 30 minutes. got 30 mosquito bites. hyperbole, but still. a lot of bites. then we sat and did nothing for a while, before deciding to go wendys. it was a nice and relaxing way to end the weekend.

now i'm tired, but i'm going to play madden and try to perfect my game sliders, while i wait for my dearest girlfriend to go to bed.

side note: next weekend+monday is going to be hectic and i start school on tuesday. maaaaaaan.

w.i.p.

We haven't broken,
but we've bent a lil
on the way to finishing
the first percent of
our first bicentennial.
Meaning two years in the bag.
Two years,
and i wouldn't have it any other way.
September second is the day
that it all turned around.
bound.
you quench my thirst
in drought.
and when it's gloomy
and i lose track of what joy's about
you remind me.
so timely.
so in a few years,
i hope we tie the knot like boy scouts.
and in terms of residence after that,
you know Illinois' out.

madden 10.

well. i haven't blogged in a while.



it's cause of madden. :T i didn't think i was going to get it, but now that i have it, i love it dearly.

moving along.

summer is almost done. it was nice while it lasted. the school year is coming fast and i'm going to try to hit it in stride.

on another note.

volleyball is coming soon, too. woohoo.

but for now,

back to my madden. :)

nice quotation.

'when i was in school, they asked me what i wanted to be when i grew up. i told them 'happy'. they told me i didn't understand the assignment and i told them they didn't understand life.'

what's good, BEACH.

Yea. Well. I just got home from Ocean City. I want to shower in the worst way, but first I felt I should type up this blog while I still reek of salt water. Call it my ‘authentic flare’.

I woke up for church @ 345 am. I know. Crazy, right? I went to bed @ around midnight the night before, but I just couldn’t stay asleep. A lot of tossing and turning, so I just woke up extra early. Played video games. Made eggs! Sundays go by a lot smoother w. breakfast. Btw, I was really excited to go to the beach this morning. I packed up all my stuff and everything.

But I forgot my towel. Dick move.

Anyways. Church was good. Bro. Roy taught a quick lesson and we ended up w. around half an hour of time to kill before CWS assembly time. It was an empty half hour…

After CWS, there was a fifteen minute general meeting, which we missed 10 minutes of. I really love bro. Roys meetings. Then there was practice. Then we had to help redo everyones tag board cards. THEN

We went to the beach.

Me, Feljohn, Dee in one car.
Lorrena, Chris, Carlo, Jess, Annleigh in the other.

Me, Fel, and Dee got there an hour before the others, because they had to pick up Jess and take carlo home and they ran into traffic. The water was so perfect… man. I’m just gonna kill everything memorable that happened real quick.

QUICK HITS!
-me and dee dug a hole that filled up w. water. A little boy thought it was a puddle, and fell in. we followed w. laughter.

-we saw Mexicans fighting.

-when carlo and chris got there, those two and me and dee baptized feljohn into a thousand waves.

-we played baseball.

-I buried myself for probably around half an hour. Everything except my arms, then chris finished it off. When I got out, my chest like caved in on me, because all the pressure suddenly disappeared. But for the while I was buried, it was real relaxing. Not a cloud in the sky.

-chris, lorrena, jess and I did an epic run from somewhere in the ocean to some tan tent. Every step was like running through a brick wall, but chris thought it was fun.r

-me and carlo shared ribs for 20 dollars. They were good.

-me, dee, annleigh, and carlo rode home w. feljohn on the traffic infested AC expressway.

-we saw a dead person in a car accident. They were covered in a white blanket. It kinda messed w. my head for a bit.

-my cousin, Sandy Cheeks, likes that sand paper wood.

-we got to fel’s. I took carlo and dee home.

Now! Finally! I get to take my shower.

someone once said that

every drop of rain the falls
has a drop of pain involved.

what a downer.
but i won't let it get my
dooooown in the dumps.
i just thought it was an interesting quote.
now, to eat my lo mein.
how exciting.

-Dan.

anchor.

the tides change with time.
the trials and tribulations come in waves.

hope is my anchor.
belief is my anchor.
faith is my anchor.

so through it all, i can hold fast.
patiently, i will wait and
never sway
until the day.

intended to reassure myself that it's worth it in the face of doubt.

-Dan.

it's like. it's like.

i missed service today.
devil played my life.
to that i say touche.
sis. charina said be more responsible.
i was like whatever you say.

sin, sin, sin.
can't let it happen again.

my va beach fam is leaving tomorrow.
parting is such sweet sorrow.

with out her.
i'd be incomplete.
like a just jelly sandwich would.
i'd be damaged goods.

incomplete.
too lazy to find a direction.

it goes like this.

va beach fan shows up.

big things pop.

i got an 88 on my exam and finished the class w. an A. 4.0, baby. 1 for 1, baby. :]

tempers flare.

-Dan.

thats what he said.

opening statement:
i've been sleeping for the last 19 hours. i woke up about 20 minutes ago.

anyways.

on friday after practice, mikey and carlo slept over. we played mario tennis. c-lo and mdizzle beat me and joshua once, out of 2,000 times. then we played star fox and i had the most epic win against carlo in history, where we both crashed and died at the same time.

we didn't sleep til around 10 am on saturday. i woke up around 2, and then jp and dee came over, and we went to king of steaks. then... we played mario tennis. yea...

i didn't sleep til around 4 am on sunday. i woke up around 6 am. did all my church stuff. there was an epic rain storm before practice, on the way back from feljohns house for lunch. then we had a suprise party for sis darlene and bro benjo. i went home after hurting my chest playing catch in the rain. slept at 6.

i woke up. looked at my clock. it was midnight, but i felt like i had a full nights sleep already. even so, i was like 'eff this' and went back to sleep. i woke up @ 1. and so from 6pm to 1pm, i got my 19 hours of sleep. the end!

-Dan.
