Have a great summer everyone.

Yesterday was really awesome. Just being in the park, with about everyone I know, with beautiful weather, good music, it was just a great time. It really did feel like summer. I loved it.

Unfortunately, finals seem to have a different plan for us. I just want to get these next three days over with. I just hate sitting in my seat, struggling through a problem, thinking that this test could have a serious effect on my grade.(of course, once the test is over, I couldn't care less) That's why I really liked Mr.Maloney's class, freshman year. His finals were only worth 10 percent of your grade, and the 2nd semester final was a project. what a fun class that was.

I really am happy for all the seniors who are done. When that bell rang on friday, everyone just looked so happy. people hugging and saying "we did it!" or "we're done!" it just made me smile and forget that I have finals for the next week. congratulations seniors.

so yes, studying today, mwuap. I really wanna see X-3. maybe if I'm good Mark will let me go see it.

I've lost my retainer, and I'm scared. I can already feel my teeth moving out of line, what if the have to put braces on again?!?! I'll kill myself. I really need to find it.

I leave for camp in eight days. holy crap. when the eff did that happen? it feels like last week I was just rolling out of that long driveway. It should be a great summer.

Well, this weekend was amazing, a quick re-cap shall explain:
A: Qualified to compete at YMCA National Swim Meet in Maryland (first time ever qualifying)
B: Spent some high quality with someone special
C: Made the road trip up to South Haven where I spent the rest of the weekend with my favorite people in the world (Minus Dylan mwop) and relaxing on the beach

A+B+C= Best weekend experiance ever.

These next four days are going to be crazy as all hell. I can't wait.

Yeah, It's been quite some time, I wish I could say I'm sorry, but I'm really not.

I'm seventeen years old now. It's pretty kick ass. seeing R rated movie without having to sneak in/get KICKED OUT you know.
My birthday was really pretty fun. skipped some classes, had some food, get some cards and snacks from people at school. I got a new bike, it's so pretty. I love it. I actually just got done with a really nice ride.

My brother was home form my b-say until yesterday. It was nice having him around. We celebrated his birthday a couple days ago because hes not gonna be home on it.

So, fate dealt me a really nice card this week. Roary's (dylan, sp?) lady-friend could not attend the Pearl Jam concert this tuesday, and I ended up going. I felt a little bad because, well, I don't really, or shall I say DIDN'T listen to Pearl Jam, and I knew that there would be some huge PJ freak sitting at home, kicking himself in the balls because he couldn't go. Well, I stopped feeling bad the moment they took the stage. It was amazing. simply amazing. And, I actually did know more songs than I thought I did, I just didn't know i knew them, ya get me? and they played Baba O'riley!!! it was their second to last song, and It was so unexpected (for me anyway, but apparently they play it a lot) but it was sooooooo awesome. I loved it. and They DIDN'T play it the next day, suckers. So i'm planing on bootlegging it off the site. because I want to hear it again and again. It was amazing. We went to Ino's afterwords. It's becoming a little tradition after our concerts.

So I have nine more days of school. They will not be flying by, that's for sure. I did hand in my Junior theme (which I think I did pretty good on) so I'm pretty much done with english. We're just casually reading The Cather in the Rye until the end of school. it's nice. Chemistry is still kicking my ass. We're basically learning new stuff up until the day of the final, and it is killing me. ah well, in five years, hell in two years(maybe one??) I really won't care what I got in Chemistry.

I also have five for days of practice. Finally. I've been swimming non-stop sense september and I finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. I'm pretty sick of the pool, and the deck, and the workouts, and just, everything. I'll be so glad when next weekend is over. maybe I'll got to South Haven? I'm really not sure. I hope I do though, I hope I get out early on sunday so I can enjoy the rest of the weekend with my friends.

Prom is tonight, I hope everyone has fun. I hope all the girls look pretty in their dresses, and I hope all the guys look handsome in their Tuxedos. I hope they all have a good time, and there is no stupid fighting, or drama, or angst. I just hope they have a great evening. I can't wait to go next year. It'll so much fun.

This weeks has been pretty nice with the PSAE's and everything, and wouldn't you know it, tomorrow is friday! and this is the weekend of the great return to the fallen empire of Chuck's Basement. I'm so excited. I mean, it may just be like all other basements with a couch and a TV and a stereo and a computer and a fridge full of Pop, but there's something quite special about it. and I'm still, very excited

Swimming has been treating me very well lately. I dunno, I was in a funk for a while, but i'm back in good shape and am practicing well. I think I'll have a really nice taper in the end of may. I just don't want to let anybody down next year, myself included. I want to go down in the record books as someone good, someone worth remembering, someone that after I have graduated guys in the lockeroom go "Hey remember when Tim {Insert moment of greatness/good swimming/good captaincy here}" That would be great.

I think my England interview went pretty well. Some things were said that really could have gone either way. I think Kanake (Mark, am I spelling that right?) but I think Bell is holding grudges from my Freshman year. which is acceptable because I was such an ass. I honestly don't know. Sometimes I think I'll get it, and other times I don't. I really hope I do. I want to go so badly. I hope kanake likes me, and I hope Bell likes the new me, the me that isn't form freshman year. I hope.

I got a new Bike for my birthday. It should be here by Saturday or Monday, I really hope Saturday so I can ride it around on sunday. damn you postal service and not delivering on sunday, do they really need a day off?? I have been having the biggest jones to just bike for the last, i dunno, month or so. I just can't wait to get on that baby and go.

Well, as it turns out, I'm NOT going to be a lifeguard next summer, which I'm actually pretty upset about. I really wanted to be one, but the only time I could get certified would be a week before my race in may, and I'm not going to blow my taper so I get an extra ten bucks on my paycheck. I really liked the idea of guarding though. I mean, I basically was one last summer I just really wanted to do it and actually have something to do when the siren goes off instead of singing to the kids and telling them not to look at the water. o well, It'll much more chill this way, I suppose

I read the "perks of being a wallflower", I had to check it out form the library because Nate fucking Mullen has mine and now I will never get it back. and I really liked it this time around. I read it for the first time and liked it, read it again, didn't really like it at all, and then I read it this time and I liked it even more than I did the first time! It's really a lot like "the catcher in the rye" if you think about it. which I did constantly while reading. it was really great, if you haven't read it, I suggest you do so immediately.

I really wanna watch "Fast Times at Ridgemont HIgh"....

Shit has been going down, let me tell you.

Friday evening, I feel victim to stupidity. We wanted Mike to give us a lift to Dylan's. So of course we started running along side his car, and well. I must have just got too close and before I know it I'm swearing up a storm in the middle of the street because my foot has just been hit by Mike's car. It hurt like a mo, but I didn't go to the ER. I just sat around at dylan's thinking it would be fine after a little while.

Then saturday was the big day, not only was it chucks birthday, not only was it Debbie's wedding, it was ACT testing day. I took it at Fenwick, and had to hop up the stairs on one foot and dropped all my stuff, which was quite embarrassing. The test wasn't all that bad, I guess. I took the class and everything, I knew what to expect. I think I did better yesterday than I did on the practice. I really hope I did, you know, so I can actually have a future.

Then I hobbled home and admitted that I might need some slight medical attention. My dad drove me to the ER, where we waited forever, that's to be expected. My X-Ray technician was pretty much the coolest guy ever, he basically was Paul Batt. for those of you who read this, and know who paul this, this is a very good thing.....maybe. So I did not break my foot, or fracture it. I am suffering from a major contusion. I have to wear this weird shoe thing and Ice my foot a lot, but the best part is No gym for two weeks! yes! They just can't get me to get into a uniform and participate this year, can they? but it will be depressing when I have to go back.

Then, it was sarah's and Nathan's birthday party. (their birthday was like, two weeks ago, they threw the bash last night, I have no idea who decides these things) But they have a cake for chuck, and we sing happy birthday to him. We went in going thinking it would suck, we figured we would go in, say hey to some people, eat some food, and then get the eff outta there. But it turned out to be awesome. It was a fantastic party, good people, good music, good food. it was a great time, easily one of the best parties I've been to in two years .

I also met Monty Cole at said party, who is one of the coolest people in the school. When I think about it, I've met a lot of new people this year. and I like it. I'm not saying I'm mr.popular, but i've just been talking to more and more people and ended up liking them. It's nice to meet new people.

In the spring break of 2007, with any luck, I will be going on the exchange trip to England. I was really jealous of all the people on their school trips this spring break (except spain, morons) and I really wanted to go on one. And I figure I might as well go somewhere where I don't have to lean another language, right?

I also realized that in my entire high school career I haven't really pushed my comfort zone, I mean, I'm in one extra curricular activity, but that doesn't really count because I had been doing it long before high school and I basically already knew what to expect before joining. I haven't really taken any classes that really push me, I haven't met that many new people, I haven't really tried anything new. So my solution is going to a foreign country with a bunch of people I don't know and living with a family I will not have met until I start living with them. sounds perfect. plus I miss a week of school, sweet action.

I really, really want to go

saw walk the line a couple of days ago, and again tonight. I really liked it, I have a new appreciation for Johnny Cash. I am also In love with June Carter. huh. I really, really want the soundtrack. now all I need is some effing money.

So, we've been watching the Juggeranut video non-stop for the past couple of days, and it just gets funnier every time I watch it. (Gotch yo Dumb Ass!!) I can't wait until chuck gets back, so he can watch it, and love it too.

I've been playing a lot of Super Smash Brothers lately. such a great video game. I've really been working hard to improve my skills. I'm pretty comfortable with Luigi, I'm pretty sure he'll be my permanent character. I'm really not advanced for a player like Kirby, and I really don't know anyone else that well. so Luigi it is!

I really want to be smooth, like smooooth. just very cool, very suave. I wanna be that guy who says all the right things at the right times. I want to be well liked, in general. Not popular, there is a difference. I just want to be really slick. really sly. I don't want to be the bumbling awkward baboon I am now. I don't want to have to explain myself to people, I want people to get my smoothness. I want to be able to have a good time where ever I am. I want to be remembered. I want to be the guy at the party who slipped away while it was getting busted. I want to talk my out of every bad situation. that would be effing cool. (I really don't have a problem with the word Fuck, I just like to say eff.)



My chest, my bloody chest......my outfit.

please, do yourslef a favor.

This is for you mike:
I really like that dragon ball Z is on again. and at one of(if not THE) the best parts of the series. the showdown between Goku and Freeza. so intense.

I saw 40 year old virgin last weekend, funny shit. I loved it. Speaking of last weekend, getting 8th place in the 200 free in TWO states was pretty kick ass. this is why I love swimming, I understand it, I like it, It pushes me, it breaks me, and I'm pretty okay at it. I have some plans for next year already. I'll be the best swim team captain ever! (besides robbie burton, he was god)

actually, I'm kind of excited for next year in general, my classes will be hard, but they will be classes I want. (Mark pppppplease take crim. civ. we can chill, and do homework, and stuff) yeah, next year is where it's at. foooooooooo shore.

I got my contract thingy from camp, woot. I was talking about it with mark the other day, I'm so pumped. only what, three months?




You know, it's always the ones I can't have that I want.



I'm dehydrated.
