Mood: bored
Music: Take My Life by Jeremy Camp
Labor day. What agreat day. All I had to do today was sit around. Did some more writing on the perpetual poem thingy. Thinking I'm gonna add a page to the site for assorted writings or something. Not quite sure yet. Party thingy/get-together last night. Much fun. Huge storm came up while we were outside watching th elightning. One bolt struck at the very edge of Hennigan's pasture so his rent's made us re-enter the house. We watched a movie called bowling for columbine. Very interesting. Too bad I didn't get to see the whole thing. I had to meet curfew. Have to go back to school tomorrow. Bleh. At least nothing is due anymore. Nothing more please.

Music: Disdain by Modern Day John
Not really much to say. Been doing a lot of running and studying and stuff. I have both a Human Phys. test and a Spanish test tomorrow. Neither should be too hard. I hope they aren't. We did club sign-up stuff kind of stuff today. About twenty people signed up for Writer's Club plus the others who will show up without having signed up. I thought it was pretty impressive till I looked over at the movie club list which contained about half the high school. Book club had more too. It's easier to read someone else's work than your own and even easier to just watch someone else's work. Oh well, I will remain faithful to my club. Hope people show up. Tired.

School. Bad. Soccer. Fun. Me tired. And Wait by Everyday Sunday is playing on the radio again. People request ES a lot on the internet. I like 'em. Supposed to organize writer's club at some point. Have to come up with a mission's statement. While all the other club presidents went to the eladership thingy, I played soccer so I have no idea what I'm supposed to do. Not that I'm the president. I'm just kind of the organizer sort of dude. And it sucks. Missions statement. Hehe. Been writing this kind of perpetual poem thingy. It just keeps going and going, but I like it so it's all good. Nothing more please

I'm tired and confused. I fear I've lost all sense of who I am, who I want to be, and who i hate to be. Life is so much simpler at Kanakuk

Mood: Tired
Music: In the End by Linkin Park
Yesterday was the first full day of school and today the second. I hate it. Chemistry needs to die. It has taken my life. I haven't had much time of late because of xcountry, soccer, and homework. Xcountry is alright, but soccer is now just fitness for me because of my nose. I don't like it. Homework takes forever it seems. Or maybe it's just cause I get home late from my other activities that it seems to take forever. Sliding toward insomnia. Got a new workout machine. Interesting. Kinda weird. I like it well enough. Mary. Nough said. I have to go to soccer practices on both saturday and sunday. Do you know how I'm going to hurt after two days in a row of fitness? No you don't. Don't want to go. No energy. Driving sucks.

Mood: My head hurts
Music: Big Bad John by Johnny Cash
Another half day of school today. 'Twas bad. Nough said. Went to xcountry afterwards. My butt hurt like crazy the whole time. Now that we have a new coach who knows what he's doing we actually have to run which sucks. We had to run a two mile warm-up and then run three more miles on the first day. This could be bad. Bleh. Started in on chemistry problems today. I'm not quite sure that I'm going to enjoy that class. Human Phys. on the other hand looks to be real fun. And then theres my other classes that aren't worth talking about. Theres anther half day of school tomorrow, but I probably won't be going at all. If I do show up it will probably only be for the last period. You see I have to go see the doctor about my broken nose tomorrow. Bleh. There is one up side to being able to drive: I can listen to my music in the car. I really want to write something, but it just doesn't come easy. Istare at the pages and the thoughts expressed already and kind of feel lost and confused. What to write next? I can't even finish my own stories anymore. How depressing. Must shoot self...
MOnday, August 11th 2003 @ 7:57pm // Summer's Requiem
Mood: I feel I've been beaten. And that's just about what happened
Music: Big Bad John by Johnny Cash
Summer has passed, school has come, and there was much moaning, and groaning, and gnashing of teeth. Yea, today was the first day of school. Two thumbs down. It was nice to see everyone (with certain exceptions[i.e. Carter, Justin, just to name a few]), but i'd have preferred not seeing them to having to go to school. I don't have Estes. I can't believe they did this to me. Oh well, I guess I'll have to turn Mr. Dowell into a cynic. Yea, pretty much my schedule sucks. I'm in two classes with Paula nd Christine each. God truly does hate me. But not as much as it seems at times. Two new girls, one from Decatur even, who are good looking are one of the upsides of being back in school. Now if only I could get the Decatur girl to talk to me.... And so begins our Hell. Had soccer practice tonight and in accordance with the doctor's wishes I did not practice with the rest of the team thanks to my nose that I broke on Saturday. Archie just decided to slam into me instead of Bill as was planned and so I ended up sitting in the emergency room for around three hours. So now I can't do contact sports till the the ENT chacks me out Wednesday. So instead of the regular practice I got to do fitness. Oh boy. Two full hours of it. My body aches. And of course I have to run xcountry tomorrow. Bleh. I'm surprised I managed to finish the worksheets. The fact that I was still working on the Machiavelli one at 6:50 was a bit discouraging. But I did it, they are turned in. I was not satisfied with anything I said, but that's what happens when you wait till the night before the first day of school to do your summer reading. On to homework. To the summer lost. Until we see your shinig face again may God preserve and gives us all the help we can get.

Mood: Lonely
Music: none
Washed my car today. Ran my first errand for my rents today. Went on a thirteen mile bike ride today. Was a ood samaritan to a lost Louisiana person today. I don't think she found the place she was looking for. Tried to do required reading sheets today. Tried to put myself out of my misery today. I missed.
Wednesday, August 6th 2003 @ 8:32pm // Home Again
Mood: Bad
Music: Modern Day Prayer by TwoThirtyEight
Got back home from FL last night. Didn't feel like doing anything so I didn't. FL was alright. The Big Kahuna was once again the highlight of my trip. A full day at the coolest water park ever with hundreds of beautiful women, how can it not be my favorite part of the trip? Keeping with tradition, I jumped off a fifty foot tower again. I don't see how sky diving can be more exhilarating than bungee jumping. When you bungee jump you this 'Oh my God! I'm about to go splat on the ground' kind of feeling. In sky diving you don't get that, well some do, but I doubt they enjoy it since they're dead within seconds of having that feeling. And then theres the whole slowing down part where your not quite sure where your stomach went, but it feels cool anyways and then your up again and your still trying to find your stomach as you stall out at the peak and then it's the whole hitting the ground sensation thing. Yea I like bungee jumping.
The hotel could have been better. The room was tiny, the meals costed way too much, and it was pretty much a dump really. They had nice grass though. And not so bad looking girls. Yea experiences with girls can be interesting. There was this one girl who must have thought I was something else cause I was just standing there waiting for my brother to serve while we were playing badmitton and she walks by staring at me and then turns around and walks backwards all the while staring at me. It was weird. And for the rest of the stay I think she was following me around. Anywhere I went she just kinda showed up. She even got up the courage to say 'hey' to me once. Yea it was weird. Wasn't that bad looking though.
The beach sucked. Seriously, why do people insist on going to the beach? As predicted, lots 'o sand in the pants.
Today = another boring day in the life of a nobody. Then I went to practice. Yea we don't talk about tonight's practice. It was bad. That's all you need to know.
I started writing something new yesterday. I thought it was pretty cool. And now for a special sneek preview of what is to come in my new writings:
When the world died....
Yea that's it.

Mood: Annoyed
Music: Song #2 by Blur
I hate packing. So very annoying when you can't find a bag to stuff your clothes in. Even more annoying to have to pack everybody's junk into the car by yourself. Not exactly a great start to this vacaation. Hope it's better when we get there...
Tuesday, July 29th 2003 @ 5:54pm // Burning Tears
Mood: Bored
Music: Boys of Summer by The Ataris
Another boring day. Just sat around and messed around on the computer. I decided to play with some pictures and as a result I now have a little logo thingy for my site. The burning tear thingy. I thought it was pretty cool. And your thoughts are somewhere along the lines of "Will is such a loser." Yea, that's right. I am a loser, but I don't care. I played some basketball with one of my brothers today. He's not very good, but he tries. I was beating the tar out of him so I let him tie it up. Then I won. I hope he gets real good. Be nice to see him shooting hoops instead of sitting there with his eyes glued to the tv all the time. And then it was into the pool. I just finished eating dinner. Porchops and baked potatoes. Very nice. Oh yea, I leave tomorrow. I was supposed to pack today, but I didn't. I'll just pack tomorrow before we leave. It'll only take five minutes anyways. Not much else to say.
Monday, July 28th 2003 @ 10:14pm // Of Extraordinary Gentlemen and Feminist Males
Mood: Amused
Music: Tonight by Kutless
Today was boring. I was relegated to watching MTV again. Seriously, why do people spend so much time watching that channel? I couldn't watch it for more than 5 minutes at a time. All that R&B and rap and pop just disgusts me. Why do people like that stuff so much? Questions that cannot be answered.
Went to see the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen earlier tonight with Sid. Not bad, not bad at all. I like Dorian Grey and Nemo and The Invisible Man and Dr. Jekyll. I guess the only one I didn't really like was Tom Sawyer. I saw the whole Grey betrayal thing coming and the 'take ur time' shot as well. If I were to be an extraordinary gentleman I think I'd want to not be able to miss. No matter what, with any weapon I could not miss. That would be so sweet. They really screwed up Mr. Hyde though. He's just supposed to be evil not the Hulk. I'm sure they screwed up every character since it's Hollywood, but as a movie it was good, compared to the comic it probably blows. I now have to read THE PORTRAIT OF DORIAN GREY.
Had an interesting exchange with a 'feminist' male. He kept saying that he hated girls. And me. Not surprising. Looks to me like 'family vacation' is scheduled to begin Wednesday. Nothing confirmed as of yet, but my rents were talking about hotels and I heard Wednesday mentioned a lot. Beach = girls. This won't be too bad.
Take a step back, lest you fall fully into the maelstrom bound inside my head.

Mood: Exasperated
Music: Minerva by Deftones
I have decided to try to do this site in HTML so there will probably be some bugs in it. A lot of bugs. So far it doesn't look too bad.
I hope the rest of it ends up looking good. But seeing as how I'm the one writing the HTML it's not gonna happen.
Not much going on today. I went to church then went shopping for MP3 players.
My mom has decided that I'm no longer going to download music so now I'm looking for an MP3 player to store all my music on.
I like the iPods we looked at, but then again everyone likes the iPods.
Saturday, July 26th 2003 @ 9:01pm // End of Hell
Mood: Exhausted
Music: Fine Again by Seether
"I think I might be getting over this strep throat." says Will as he bursts into a chain of hacking coughs. Maybe not. I do feel much better, but I'm not at all convinced that I've gotten rid of it altogether. Hope for tomorrow
Had more soccer today. Really tiring. But now it's finally over. Praise the Lord. I've never sweated so much as I did this week and I didn't even go to half the sessions thanks to strep. I only made it to two whole days and most of another day. Still tiring. Today was kind of funny though cause we were working on shielding and I just kind of stood there and held of Myles with one hand. I don't think he ever got the ball away from me. Amusing. Now that it's over I no longer have to drive to and from H'ville twice a day. Woo hoo.
I really probably should start in on those summer reading work sheets. Procrastination. I've finished all the books, but I can't bring myself to do those stupid work sheets. If I do them it's admitting to myself that it's almost time for school to start again. The horror. I'm not exactly looking forward to it, but at least I'll have something to do all day instead of just laying around the house. Not looking forward to driving 45 minutes every morning to get to school.
I think my rents are thinking about taking a family vacation. Sounds faintly alluring. I could use with the rest it would provide, but I can't exactly get excited about the thought of all that sand I'm going to get in my pants. The beach isn't exactly my choice for vacation destinations, but I'm not the one paying the money so I guess I'll just go along with it and try and enjoy myself. Course there is always the pool and girls to draw my attention. Maybe it won't be so bad after all....
Friday, July 25th 2003 @ 9:19pm // Still Sick
Mood: Exhausted
Music: All For You by Jonah33
Still sick. But I went to practice this morning. Or at least part of it. I started feeling bad during the first session so I went home at 11:30 instead of 2:30. I was looking pretty bad too. I couldn't do anything it seemed. At home I layed on the couch and watched MTV. I despise myself even more now. Why do people want to watch that stuff all the time? I will never understand society. Maybe I'm not meant to understand. I went back to practice at 6 for the scrimmage. I did alright. Nothing amazing. And then I came home. It was amusing in the car cause I remembered a party that I was invited to. My mom thought that I was talking about a date I was supposed to go on tonight and thought I had stood a girl up. Immensely funny considering I don't date. Yea I forgot the party, but I couldn't go anyways since I'd already missed most of it and I'm still sick. Bleh....
STREP SUCKS!!

Mood: Wistful
Music: Change by Deftones
Still down with strep throat. Just sat around the house all day today. I was supposed to go to soccer tonight, but my temperature has returned so that was a no go. I just love sitting here at home doing nothing. Strains of bitter sarcasm. I need something to do so bad. I wonder if I'll be going to soccer tomorrow. Probably not.
I miss kamp. Kamp was awesome this year and now it's gone. I wish it could have gone on and on and on, but instead it had to end and now I'm here alone again. World ..... hurl .... scorn .... doorstep. I wish I had gotten that one girl's email address. At least then I could have continued talking to her. It's not often I find someone I like to talk to. I liked talking to her. No idea why. Oh well, another oppurtunity missed. More wreckage strewn in the path.
Watch for debris...

Strep throat. Vondebah. Yesterday it rained. A lot. So we did not have soccer hell and I instead went to the doctor. I have strep throat. Therefore all I did today was sit at home. Tomorrow too. I don't get to do anything soccer related until tomorrow night. But for some reason I was able to go get a haircut today. Odd that.
I just watched Catch Me if You Can. Not bad, not bad at all.
Now I have to find something else to do. Can't think of much to do since I'm 'sick.' Maybe someone would like to call me or something and relieve this endless tedium. I'm not a happy camp right now.
Still need to finish up that summer reading stuff. And then I need to do those worksheets. Ah, the beauty of procrastination. I have all this time to do it since I'm sick, but I don't do it cause I don't 'feel' like it. Yea I'm bad.
Missing kamp.
Monday, July 21st 2003 @ 8:12pm // Soccer Hell
Mood: sick
Music: Vapor by Redline
Today was the first day of hell. Yes, that's right soccer hell. For six straight hours I played soccer. Well really I just ran around, jumped up and down, and got yelled at by a crazed Ethiopian for six hours. Basically all we did was fitness. And the part that wasn't fitness was boring. As a result every muscle in my body aches. I don't know if I can bear to do this every day this week. Just tell Tesema I died or something. Feasible.
Yea, well I'm back from camp and I'm not all that happy about it. I wish I could have stayed there for the rest of the year.
<Insert wistful/pathetic sigh here>
I loved camp. It was truly a great year. I'd tell you about it, but you have to ask me about it in person cause I don't feel like typing all of it out here.
Not much else to write right now....
