entry 19 7th december

I'm gunna lose points on this but I don't have the forbearance to think about what you have given us to type about. So, on that note, I'll blog... wait... advertising... hmmmm... Well I guess I have some ideas... Nope, lost it. I understand you wanting us to do this ACT stuff but it seriously sucks and takes away from my creative writing. I've had quite a few ideas to put down on here that had a nice building plot, a great story problem....

Ads on TV...

"does Geico save you $400 dollars or more on car insurance? Do woodchucks chuck wood?"

Anyways, back to my problem with this. You distract the flow of my creative juices that corse through my body. By disrupting them, I am becoming a mindless drone that will end up catering to your every need. I have seen your plan for world domination. It will not work. I will start a rebellion and destroy you and your dastardly plans! Thou shall fall to thou knees. I refuse to stand by while you destroy our brains and force us to do these ACT reports. Your time of reign is nearing its end. I swear on my fathers grand mothers grave! If you show this during class they will see what you have done.

Entry 18, november something.

Well the week off was lame actually. Going to family that doesn't like you because you have long hair is so not fun. The constant, 'stay here and I'll grab some scissors' or the whispering 'He probably does drugs with some low life friends'. The only good things about that is that I'm not related to them at all so I honestly don't care what they say, and that the food was good. I love food. Then I went to my dads and went to an acoustic show dealio at this place called Shockwave. The guy who runs the place basically asked me to work for him after a long conversation about running PA systems and soundboards. Also, I will be able to perform my own music as well.

*Insert Mrs. Strand blowing nose sound here*

....

Yeah, totally just lost my train of thought.

entry 17, November 18

Well, I started my new band project thingy-mo-jigger. Its called Tyrotoxism, the word means to be poisoned by cheese. It is a screamo band type thing. I do covers and stuff like that. I made a facebook just to run my bands stuff through it. Also, my full band dealio, Author Of The Generation, has slowed down. Brady and I have been doing our own thing, Brady made an EP for himself and I am working on Tyrotoxism. It is a lot of work to do everything, I play the guitar, bass, and do the vocals. It took about three weeks just to record a 6 minute song. It was well worth it and I have a video up on youtube. I'll add more to the Tyrotoxism facebook page soon as well.

I think it would be a very good idea. It would let us grasp what the real world is like. Most people will say no mainly because they think its picking up trash along the highway. Community service is so much more then that. It makes me feel good when I help other people, and it makes the people that I am helping feel good as well. It would look really good on us, showing that we can be responsible. I like the idea, and I think we should do it. Maybe not as a requirement because a few kids would make it hard for those who like doing the work, or enjoy helping people. Make it an elective, so those who want to do it can do it and the others can go on being selfish and only making it hard on themselves.

entry 15 november 9th

"One day on the playground at school, you see a large green bag. Suddenly, the bag begins to shake. Write a story about what happens next."

I was dancing in the rain when a big green bag flew across the road and smacked me in the face. It was frightening, especially since I heard the stories of a green bag eating kids up who danced in the rain while at the playground. I slowly looked around and realized that I was just a few feet away from the swing set that was attached to the playground. I swore under my breath and turned to face the bag. I did a double take, the bag was no where to be seen.

I turned back around and it was just floating to a group of kids on the other side of the playground. I heard screams and groans and then out of the sky, a shoe feel at my feet. Along with an arm, an ear, and what I think was once a bubble gum wrapper. I looked back in the direction and saw the green bag sitting on the swing. It started gyrating (haha) and started to come towards me. Rolling more or less, but still the fear of being eaten and showing up on the headlines of tomorrows newspapers didn't quite make me to happy.

I turned to run but it was to late....

entry 14 (oct 26)

Alrighty. Yaya blogging. My most favorite thing in the world to do. Like seriously, its not like I'd rather die or anything. Blogging is like a life savior. Even though everything I'm typing is a big fat load of steaming crap I'll continue on with a smile.

:D

Okay, I lied. Screw that crap. I really don't like to blog. I preferred writing over this. Or maybe just the fact that I could free write all the time. That might be it. The fact that my potential limitless imagination is being confined into a small little box that is shaking and waiting to explode is killing me. And when I have the moment to let it do so, I complain. That's how kewl I am. Just a big mass of epicness. Be jealous.

In other news I do believe I'm gunna be stood up for an Asian. Don't ask why, just go with it, but it is totally gunna happen.

In more other news, I left my iPod at home. I'm going to die. I almost did on the bus. Thank the good lord for books. That's the only thing that took me away from the loud obnoxious children from hell.

"She is not just a child, but a child in demons body!!" - Amy

Gotta love play practice.

I am sooo excited for that. It's going to be so much fun to preform.

entry 12 (i think) October 12th

I went to the open mic at Stone City. Let me describe that with two words for you: Friggen' Epic. I had the crowd laughing with my made up lyrics. I had to guys stand on stage by me so I could sing about them. It was really funny. They had it coming to them. Two guys with kaki shorts and holding hands. Whats better then that? Probably nothing. I had such a good time. Met some amazing singers and recorded this one girl Tyler and I had met at the park in marion. Talk about a mixture of Jesus and Furgi. Like damn this girl can sing. It was soooo beautiful. It is a weekend that I won't forget right away thats for sure. Yay memory issues.

I looked over at Lindsey (S.) and saw her pink socks. I actually thought they were cast and that she has broken her legs. I then pondered the different ways a person could break both legs. So I took a double take and realized they were socks. It's way to early for school.

As I was walking down the lone street in the desert, a man came to my side. He seemed to be very Congenial. He was dressed as if he were a business person. His outfit was all black, his hair black, everything besides his ghostly white skin was black. He held a look of ennui on his face. He looked down at me, his facial expression forming into a glare.

"You are an aloof idiot for traveling at night," he had said to me.

"Why are you all dressed up and in the middle of the desert?" I ignored his insult.

"Don't bother me with you tedious questions," his glare turned into something that resembled an old man, angry wrinkles filled his forehead. Hair started growing from his pores. He fell to his hands and knees growling.

I was cajoled to run away. As far away as I could possibly get. An ominous feeling was starting to fill my veins. The man was changing form right before my eyes.

He looked up at me. His expression was ecstatic. What in God's name was happening? Stuff like this only happens in the movies. What was before me, was a mermaid.

entry 10 september 30

I have became a poet during the past year. Ill post one and type about other stuff.

Killing Depression

I’m as low as I can be, I’ve never been this sad
I think about death, darkness all around
As far as I can see, I’m so angry, and mad
What’s the point? I’d rather lay without a sound

But then I hear your name, ringing in my head
I soon forget about my shame, Making me smile instead
No more sadness within my heart, without you I’m lost in the dark
You subdue my anger for a start, destroying its dreadful bark

You pull me out of my doubt, Setting me upon my feet
At me you never shout, Picking me out of my seat
Shaking the depression all away, Give up you could never do
With me I know you will stay, Making sure I never turn blue

You hug away my pain, Brushing off the dirt
Even wash away the stain, Of where I’ve been hurt
I don’t understand what it is, that makes you be so sound
Your sweet and innocent bliss, I know now what I had found

A sweet caring person, I don’t deserve you at all
I could never let go, I even have your picture on my wall
You killed my depression, and brought me back to life
This now is no longer obsession, so I’ll throw away my knife

Nothing can break us apart, we are bound by light
Dodging the evil dart, I no longer feel fright
Without you I would be lost, this is so very true
So what ever the cost, I’m in love with you

This is one of my favorites.

Anyways, about homecoming week. I was convinced to come to Central City's dance and stuff. I guess I'm slightly excited about it. Also, a friend from Mt. Vernon asked me to come to their homecoming next week. Honestly not looking forward to it. I don't like going to other school dances. *cough cough* Starmont prom *cough cough*. That is a different story though.

entry 9 september 28th

<--- That is my bands logo. It will also be the cover art for our EP Album. It will be self named: Author Of The Generation. On the CD we will have five of our singles. We hope to get this produced and sent into a recording studio that wont charge abunch of money.

This logo will also be on shirts that we will be making in the near future. We can order you one if you wanted. You'll have to pay for it though. Our budget is only in the 200 - 300 dollar range.

Anyways, we have decided which songs we will be playing at the variety show in March. The first song is called Something's Missing. It is our first single. We will also be playing a song called the 4-chord song. We are all very excited to be preforming.

Also, we have several performances coming up in October...

sept 23rd entry 8

So. i really dont know what to write about. and i dont feel like making this gammerly correct and junk.

I will now though so I don't lose as many points. So today is my youngest brothers birthday. He is 2 now. I feel like a jerk cause I'm gunna miss it. Then again its not like he will remember it or anything. I do get left over banana bread with chocolate chips though. My recipe was better then my mom's she uses mine. Makes me feel awesome. The only difference to add the chocolate chips.

I don't know what else to type/write, so I will bring this to a close.

Entry 7, september 21st

Death is no more than passing from one room into another. But there's a difference for me, you know. Because in that other room I shall be able to see.
Helen Keller

This is a very true quote. When you think about it and sit down and let it go through your mind, you have just one life to live. And that is one this planet. The third spinning rock from the big fiery ball of light. The planet you could think of as the first room. Now you ask what the second room is, where it is, what it's like. The answer to that is a mystery. We cannot find out what the next room is unless we complete our task in the first room. You may ask what your task is. I say it's what your heart tells you to do. What do you strive for? What is your passion? Complete your dreams the best you can and move on to the next step: the second room. The only way there is at the end of your life. Some say death is dull, sad, and painful. It is only the final step in the life of the first room. So live life proudly, don't back down. See things through to the end.

Entry 6, September 16th

I believe that communities should create curfews for high school students. If the students are always just messing around and not getting anything done right after school, it's a way for them to sit down and finish their homework or anything that needs to be done. After all you would have weekends (assuming that the curfew is only in effect on school nights). And what good is it staying out all night. We as students need to grow up and get a grip on reality. How will we succeed in life if all we do is screw around? If your just out so you don't have to be home then get a job and rent an apartment. The students in todays world are careless.

Entry 5 sept 14th 2o1o

If there was two zombies in this classroom, they would have to be myself and Sara. My reasons for this choice is simple. Sara already bites people so it wouldn't be to much of a change for her. When she bites and actually means to be hurtful, she will take a chunk of you flesh away. I'm no exactly sure what she does with that piece of skin and I honestly don't want to know either. Her appearance as a zombie would be close to what she is now. The difference would be bloodshot eyes, festering skin, a line of droll dripping down her blood crusted chin. After all zombies are basically humans with a swollen brain and bad case of the munchies (Zombieland quote).

I choose myself mainly cause suffering the process of turning into a zombie or being eaten alive would just plain out suck. Think about it, would you want to be eaten alive by a zombie. Or even pre-zombie form Sara at that. Oh the pain and agony.

This is Nathan Merrifield saying good night and good luck.

Entry 4 september 9th

We can fail epically and still pull it off. Its been done before. And I honestly have no idea how I would respond. This is because I am the one that usually fails. I can turn it around to make it a happy ending, but alas, it rarely happens. Its pretty great when it does though.

On a side note the font is really weird on this thing. Really different. Its not Times New Roman is it? No, this is a little bit to fancy for that. I just don't know what to think. My mind is in other places today. I am looking forward for my da... I mean detention with you tomorrow morning. It'll be fun.

In other news I have my band fully together. Author Of The Generation is now complete. We have a new singer who's voice is like a mixture between firgie and Jesus.

I stand in the middle of this debate. I don't really care if we have another year of school. Keeping it four years is just fine and dandy with me. Increasing it to five years would be somewhat hectic though. There would be a lot of complaining from students who like the sample said, bored with school. I actually love school. Its a fun environment. I am able to do many creative things that will eventually push me toward my goal in life. School is the starting point to our lives when you think about it. There is nothing wrong with making it longer, and there is nothing wrong with keeping it the same. I say do what you want and deal with what happens. There will obviously be conflicts and junk like that. How ever this debate ends, I'm going to have to either drop out or deal with it. I prefer to stay and finish school. Where would some of us be without it?

In other news, I got bit by a spider last night. It was weird because I had a dream that a spider ate me and all that stuff that spiders do to their pray. Found it kind of ironic.

August 26, 2010 Entry II

My utopian world would be filled with background music. Real life needs background music. Like an example: instead of all this typing sounds in the background we could have music. AMAZING!! There would be no money usage in my world, cause when you think about it, money is just a bunch of circles and paper. I'd create a barter system so solve this problem. To best describe my world, it'd be energy efficient. We would only use power to run important buildings such as a hospital so we can help the sick. An education building would be built as well. We couldn't have a bunch of dumbies running around.We would be able to live off the land, building and creating as we go. We would still have all the technology that we have today but it'd be green. I do believe the background music would be the ideal choice.

August 23, Entry 1

Well, got a band together actually. We've had two live performances already and have a few fans. Well okay... they are friends and family but still fans. The members of my band are Skyler, John Langer (I do believe thats how his name is spelt) and myself. Skyler does the vocals and plays piano. I do some back up singing and I play the guitar. John is our drummer. We plan on playing more live stuff once we are able to drive without restrictions. We do have our own music that we have written as well. All of that is on our YouTube page. Also, we have a Facebook page. Skyler runs that mainly. I do more of the YouTube stuff myself. John really doesn't do much at the moment tho. Just kinda sits around waiting for us to tell him information. We do have a set live performance at the Talent show this year as well. I hope to see you there.
