duct taped happily ever after

once upon a time, a very handsome boy was in a tool store. I, -i mean the handsome boy- had a ten dollar bill burning a hole in my pocket, and was looking for the best way to spend it. I came upon an air brush for 20 dollars, but i said "this one is to expensive". i then saw a bowl of porage? and said this one's too cold? or something. anyways, then i saw a roll of duct tape for 3 bucks. that's right... it was just perfect. so i went to sleep in someone's bed, but then this wolf or bear or something said "fe fi fo fum, i smell an english muffin" and i said, "i'm not a muffin, i'm a ginger bread man so i'll race you, no wait- catch me if you can". yeah that's what i said. then this bean stalk grew out of the ground, and i tapped the bear or wolf/monster thing to it and i married a princess. -ok, that got out of hand really fast.-
what really happened today was i bought some duct tape and made a backpack entirely out of duct tape to match my wallet, also made entirely out of duct tape. then i came to the realization that the greatest thing ever made was duct tape (it was close between soap on a rope & the internal combustion engine).
However crazy this blog was, there is a moral-- buy some duct tape and you won't regret it.

should have seen this comming

have you ever had a friend call you up at 2:30 in the morning and say, "dude, i need a place to crash". well it' not that awkard cuz this annomous friend of mine was going to a party, and i said call me if you need someone to drive you home or if you need a place to crash. well here it is at like 2:45 and we're trying to think of an excuse to tell my parents and explain why somebody would show up at my house in the middle of the night. ok well now my weekend has had some excitement as well as teenage drama. well i'm happy to help, lets hope i don't get grounded.

it's all down here from here

so, what a great turn of events. my repot card came... need i say more? well here's what i got: B, D, C, C. now i'm normally an a/b student but i just can't seem to do anything right this year. My C's are now B's but my D is on it's way to an F or G. yeah that's right- G (the only thing worse than an F). But my D is in mrs mungers class and, we all know everything's her fault. Um, lets see... more bad stuff that happened. Unfortunatly, my nice little 'secret' blog has now made national headlines. a few people asked me at school, and i hate to be the person who goes around saying i have a secret- don't you wanna know? well i'm not tellin!! so i pretty much told anybody who wanted to know. And i'm sure this mistery girl has heard about my crush. Ok so i lost the element of suprise, big deal- right? wrong! catching a girl off gaurd is everything. if you spring the question, "would you like to go out with me" and you catch a girl off gaurd she might panic and say "yes" or something. Yeah that's probably my best bet. lol. Also another bad thing happend, (bescides getting my car broken into) the front forks on my dirtbike both started leaking all their fluid. of course comming up short on a double didn't help the situation, ouch! If you don't know what i'm talking about that means i totally missed the landing--which means me and the bike ar in for a rough ride. *here's one good thing that happened tough- Alex pru let me ride his 125 and i was almost twice as fast around the track. i had no idea you could throw those bikes around corners so fast! (after all, it is 100 pounds lighter than my 426) looks like i'm gonna be in the market for a 125! ---- ride hard or go home---

p.s. yeah i stole the title form a new found glory song, i can only be so creative...

wrong time, wrong place

So i've been on a bloggin rampage today, why not one more eh? I think after the whole religion blog, god was pretty pissed- and this was his way to get back at me -j/k: anyways, so i went to karate today and as usual, i parked my truck near the front of the parking lot on speedway. well after class i walked over to my car and saw that the car next to mine had a shattered window and the door was open. thinking nothing of it, i just said-oh that sucks. unfortunatly, when i opened my door i found that my passanger window was smashed in and my dash was ripped apart. (did anyone else see that comming?) so my deck was stolen, and even worse, my radar dectetor was gone too. Well i ended up driving home with glass all over the seats and no music :( fortunatly, the people who ripped me off didn't think to steal my sound system that was behind my seat. that was easily worth twice as much. i guess people who have to steal cd players for a living arn't the brightest. well now i'm out a window, cd player, and radar dectetor. and just when you thought the night was going smooth...

p.s. wow, i haven't wanted to kill somebody this bad since that time in elementary school...

this one needed to be said.

so now i'm in the bloggin mood. and unfortunatly, i somehow got thinkin about religion and such. i was born catholic, raised christian and i still go to church. except now i realized that faith is something i never really had. ok, this is straight from my head to the keyboard, so if you're a really religious person and you like being one, just skip this blog. I'm not saying that i know the meaning of life or have all the answers or anything like that, but this is why religion just doesn't do anything for me... I've always thought: religion has been around since the begining of civilization. You know what i mean, right? i'm talking about the egyptians and aztecs and so on. Well those were all very impressive civilizations, but the're not around anymore. so obviously, their religions have also died out. throughout history, all these religions and beliefs have been dismissed as false. they were no more than ways to explain the misunderstood. (ie the stars, moon, galax, afterlife, and natural occurrences and stuff) well if people have been following religions for thousands and thousands of years; doesn't present day society sound like it's following this trend? it seems that in hindsite, everything we do for this generation will just fall into the record books as a new spot on a timeline. I guess what i'm trying to say is that the jewish, christian, muslim, and other religions are nothing new. they all have their intresting predictions that have come true, as well as their controversial moments. In school i was taught that religion was origionally a way to keep order in society. For example, 10 commandments- don't murder, cheat, steal, lie , etc.
As i think about all of this, i feel like religion is in some ways necessary, but also dangerous. Churches are good because they donate to the poor and help out the community, but i'd rather not spend any time trying to explain my thoughts to religous people ( like my parents). Religion also gives people a reason to live, and live an honest life. - But think about how may wars have been fought because of religion. think about sept 11. If nobody had religion, would the world really be more peaceful or would it just be chaos? i think religion is good for the world- -i'm just not sure i believe in anything.
For people who think like me, i don't think we really need religion. As long as you can hear what your heart is saying, your morals will help you do the right thing. - yeah, all of this is comming form a 17 year old, reckless teenage. I know that i will probably look back at this and say- what was i thinking-.
Another reason why i don't buy into the christianity thing... the whole heaven and hell deal. well i dissagree. first of all, if somebody really tries to help others and dedicate their life to bringing peace...well according to the bible: they ain't gettin in to heaven unless they were baptized, and went to church, and did a whole list of stuff. Maybe i don't know what i'm talking about, but i still don't believe in the heaven thing anyways. I think that 'heaven' sounds a lot like a fairy tale your mom would tell you to help you sleep at night. I think the truth is - when you die, guess what, you're dead. There's no comforting after-life where you can meet your loved ones. yeah, maybe the truth hurts more than we all know. *make the best of your life while you can, and try to do something that will benifit people around you and the whole human race as well. That's all the religion i need. if i'm wrong, i hope god will at least smile at the good i did before he sends me to hell. if you need a religion to tell you what's right and wrong, that's fine, and you're not hurting anyone ( maybe you're right). i just don't think that out of the thousands of religions there have been, i'll be able to pick the right one. i don't think there is a right one. maybe the're all 'the right ones'? maybe i should shut up and and stick to bloggin about my teen drama...

good & bad

So i've noticed a couple things over the years- some teachers rock, and some suck. It seems like every year i get one great teacher and one really really bad one. for example, freshman year: mr. clifford was awesome. Sophomore year: mr. klees & mr. thomas were awesome. Junior year: Mr. Simons was really awesome. Senior year: the best teacher yet- Mr. Kukla!! not only is he more fun than McGuiver with a rubber band and three paper clips, he's also a really good teacher. by good i mean reasonable. i've always had an amazing sense of right and wrong, and recognizing the obvious solution to a problem ( yes, i should rule the world). Unfortunatly, there's always those really shitty teachers like Mrs. Yslas. Oh my god what a witch. i propose we all get together, light some torches, get a couple pitch forks, and see where i'm goin with this? that's right, witch hunt.......burn em all!!!!!! --muahaha-- ok but another teacher that is on the 'freakin stupid devilish evil bitchy annoying list' is mrs munger. I was really suprised to read steph's blog. She actually asked bitch, i mean mrs. munger, "how she can sleep at night". Unfortunatly the power of evil shot down the hero of this story, and steph's valient efforts were vanquished. i'm an A/B student who now has an F in munger's class- and it's all because she grades papers like a retarted four year old. It's not that i need to try harder in that class, it's just because Munger's always wrong. i mean always.

off key

this week has been so annoying. not only have i failed to carry out a simple conversation without making an ass of myself, but i also can't get anything right in school. i just keep missing those little things that the teacher says like, "there's a 10,000 point assignment due tomorrow. all you have to do is not forget that i said this, and then you will get the points". well i keep screwing up simple things like that. maybe it runs in my faimily because tonight my mom was doing the dishes and said, "instead of throwing out the trash at night, somebody should throw it out in the mornings so it's not full in the day" yeah think about that.... if we throw out the trash at night, it will be empty in the morning... unless my mom throws out a bunch of stuff in the middle of the night. must i continue? i guess it's just not my week, did i mention that i'm just to chicken to do anything about that girl i'm sure i have a crush on? - however, i did manage to choke on my words when she said hi. need i say more about this damn week? k well i'll try to make it through friday.
-steve
p.s. sorry nothing exciting has happened lately. i'll try to risk my life tomorrow or something.

i've got a secret : )

hhhmmmmm....... has anyone else ever hated and loved something at the same time? isn't this secret killing you? you don't even know what it is about... but for some reason you just want to know- right? well maybe i'll tell you and maybe i won't.
-steve
ps oh danielle, this wasn't directed at you or anything lol

pointless but funny

I seem to have too many pointless conversations with my friends. i don't think any body knows what i'm talking about, so let me give you an example: Alex Fay tried to throw a frisbee at me, but he kept missing. Then he just held the frisbee in his hand and slapped me with it. Joking around, i said- "why don't you just tape the firisbee on a huge pole and hit me with that". then i took it one step farther and said- "then i would probably tape the frisbee on my truck and hit you with that". This is were it got out of hand... he said- "i'll tape the frisbee to a bomb, and i'll drop it on you from an F-15, but then the bomb will miss you and you'll think your safe. but just then the bomb would explode. except it would be filled with more frisbees and those ones would hit you". yeah, i noticed how carried away we got. Another great example is in math today; Alex Pruette said- "man, i love fractions" i replied-"well i had an affair with fractions" Then he said-"well i was with fractions and exponents at the same time". seeing a great opportunity i jumped in and said- "you mean you did Fractions and exponents both in the same problem?" Chris Fry (sitting behind us) said- "your mom's a fraction because she likes it on top" Alex replied-"well just call me the denominator, because i was on the bottom" wow, does it get any better? yes, yes it does. Jade Clark (ya, that jade) turned around and gave us 'the evil eye'. Then alex said- "man, jade sucks. she's a square root". That's when i went in for the kill and said, "square roots are easy" wow, this whole blog has just become another way for me to express my dislike for jade. lol.

some people

man, i haven't had a computer in like two weeks. well now i finally got online, but i have nothing to say. what i wanted to write about last week was something that happened while i was dirtbiking. i was out riding in my favorite spot- the middle of nowhere- and we stopped for a break. while we were standing around, this dog comes over to us and just lays down in the dirt. it was obvious that she didn't belong to anybody, because the nearest house was about 20 miles away. i tried to go over to her but everytime i took a step foward, she stepped back with her tail between her legs. i even tried to giver her some water and a trail mix bar and she still wouldn't come over to me. well we all knew that somebody had brought her out in the desert to leave her for dead. it also wasn't hard to see that she was abused. i have no idea how a person could do that. i don't know what kind of dog it was, but it was only a couple months old. i wanted to take her with us, but it's not like i could exactly just sit her on my fender and ride back to the car. well i left her the food, and i had nothing to pour the water in, so i took my bottle with me. i don't think that dog will last another week, and i couldn't feel worse about leaving her there.
