Hello everyone and Welcome Back. I know I haven't written in a while. I've been busy with my solo-ensemble contest and getting ready. I also have pit band for the musical now. My friends talked me into joining. I'm playing french horn, and it's pretty fun. That is all that has been happening in my musical life. Also I've heard comments from some of my friends behind my back complaining about me always talking about my love life and how it makes him sick. I've thought a while about this and I've came to a conclusion:

If you Don't Like It, Don't Read It

This is the only place that I can let myself out for everyone, and I'm trying to tell people how I feel and give them insights into myself, but if you think I'm a panzy for it, then don't bother to read it. Plus, if you have a problem with me, I'd like you to bring it to my face and not put it on someone elses message board. That's all I have to say about that.
    My personal life has been kind of messed up of late. My best friend from when I was 4 and 5 died last weekend from a drug overdose. He was a wild kid. He had a hard time with life. He was pushed around alot, either in JV or under house arrest. I really felt sorry for him, but I never bothered to call him. Then when I got home last Saturday, I heard the news. It sadden me that I hadn't seen him in 7 or 8 years. He had changed so much. It frightened me to see him all grown up. When I looked at the collage of his life, I saw his change from when I last saw him into what he had become. It all took place in a span of 7 years. I'm fine now. I've accepted his death as a good thing. His life was crap, and at least now, he's at peace.
    But enough of the depressing stuff. I've got a girlfriend again. I'm probably jinxing myself by writing about this, but I do now. It was the girl (not chic) that I was hoping would be my Valentine. We worked things out, and we're a couple. We spend time together after school and when her parents are away, with her being grounded and all. She was there for me this past weekend with my friend. I'm beginning to love her because she's always there for me. I can trust her. I have four weeks till our actual first date. I can't wait. But we're happy with what we have right now, and hopefully, her grounding will be taken away, and we'll all be happy. I'm still now sure if I can use her name on here. I must ask her. But most of you that are my friends knows who she is any way.
    That is all the new stuff in my life. Thank you all for listening to my rantings and my mushy stuff. c-ya all later
