Last night I downloaded winamp and have already become addicted to Mp3's, they are awesome--of course I delete all my files after 24hrs. Any way, Steff and I decided today that if prayer should not be allowed in school, we should not be able to learn about religions or use the bible, not that we don't want to, but that the educational system is setting forth a double standard. Also, being the concerned citizen that I am, I noticed in the paper today when I got home from school that there are temperory restrictions in place for water usage, saying that people can not wash cars, water lawns, fill pools/fountains, ect... It has also been know for several weeks now that Russellvile's water bill prices have increased close to 75% in recent weeks, now to me, this seems pretty stupid to me. "Attention citizens of Russellville, please give us a lot more money so that we can tell you to not use your water. Thank you, that is all." HELLO?! What are we paying for?...What are my parents paying for?

Today was a good day, I woke up this morning and went to school. Went to AP English and talked about the novel 1984, then we went to the computer lab to type. Steff was acting kinda crazy as she typed her poem that is supposed to be about the book of Job, but isn't (it's ok, mine isn't either) She had gotten her nails done recently and was having trouble typing properly, it was kinda funny to watch her type, as if she was conducting some music or something, her hands were coming about a foot off teh keyboard with each keystroke. Then as she was finishing her poem, she hit something wrong and all this geometric designs came up on top of her poem, and she was about to get hysterical. Then it was over and we got rid of them and the bell rang and I went to physics. That's all I feel like typing right now, so you will have to be content with the length of this entry, if you're not please email me here.

OK, well, I'm home again. I was camping this weekend, that's why there was a lack of updates over the past two days, I had fun, but I was sick the whole time, so it could have been better. Whew, I'm more tired than I thought it's hard to sleep when you've got a cold. I still have 40 pages of 1984 to read before tomorrow, so I better get started.

I don't feel like going to band tonight...I'm sick and I just want to rest. I've been sick a lot this year...I can't understand it. I was sick on New Years day, and then on and off untill the end of May...and now that school has started again, here come the sicknesses...argh!!...I hate being sick. I feel like my head is gonna explode. Today at school we were outside marching and LeeAnna twisted her ankel so I got to miss about ten minutes of practice and carry her up to the office where she got some ice to put on her injured extremity, I should have stayed up there longer and missed more practice...but I didn't, I went back outside. And I get to go back again in about 45 minutes!! What Fun!!

Well, I'm officially tired. I've been home for about a grand total of 2 hours today...not counting time that I was sleeping last night/this morning. And another thing, I could use some beverage. That's beside the point. When I got my new computer, I lost all my favorites set on my internet, and one of them was the one that took me to my counter statistics page, so now, I dont' know the address so I have no idea how many people are coming to my page, of course, that could be a good thing, because maybe no one is comming, this way, I'm not disappointed. I'm hoping that I'm wrong, and that a lot of people are coming to my page.

I know what you're thinking...'How come he's got all this fancy programing and stuff but doesn't update?' Well, I can't give you a good answer, but I was quite busy yesterday and am sorry for the lack of an update. Varsity Quick Recall is gonna rock this year, we beat the freshman and JV today by a score that is too big to even mention here. We have playing tests tonight at band practice to see if we have th music memorized, I'm doing pretty good so shouldnt' have much problem, unless I get nervous...then I would suck. Well, I think I'll do ok. I down-loaded Flash 4, then realized I know how to use like Flash 3 or something...so the improvement is comming, it just may take a little longer than I planned.

Well, I got flash 4 downloaded this morning, and then realized that I know how to use Flash, but not Flash 4, oh well, I'll get the hang of it eventually, but it may take a bit longer than I thought to get this place looking really good.
11:45AM
Wow, everyone should be able to use dreamweaver, it's awesome, and as I write this I'm downloading a trial version of Flash 4 so I'll be able to do some awesome graphics for this page, I can't wait!
12:52AM
This whole thing is just too awesome, I can't wait to see what it can really do!!!
12:36AM
Well, lucky meee!!! I got a new computer today, and can finally run some awesome programs, unfortunutly, I have yet to master them all, I'm doing this update with dreamweaver, I hear it's awsome, so I'll continue to fool around with it and possibly in the future there will be some serious cahnges to Bev Zone...keep your fingers crossed!

Sorry about the lack of updates latley, I've been
having HTML editor problems. It should be ok now though, and the updates will
begin again. The weekend is finally here! I'm glad too, and only after a week
and a half of school! VICA club state and national competitions will be awesome
this year, if you know what I'm taking about, then you'll agree with me. That's
enough for now, check back tomorrow.

Well, we were going to have a big bonfire/cookout/party
thing this Saturday night for the band, and Lee Hendrick and I were going to
build the bigges fire Logan County has ever seen, but we can't. Since it hasn't
rained except for like one day in the past month here, the County Judge Executive
person will not allow open burning, i.e.- bonfires. So we're gonna try and get
a bunch of people with grills to come, it's just not the same though.

9:28PM
Well, I went and played at Zap Zone in Bowling
Green for 2 hours, it was awesome! We had like 20 people there and were having
great time, unfortunitly we had to leave at 8:00PM, but it was fun while it
lasted.

3:53PM
Arg!!, I broke tradition, no update yesterday,
I was too busy. Not really, I just didnt' do it. Last night, I played Yatzee
for the first time in my life, quite an expirence! I have a test tomorrow in
PT 1, and I have to make an outline of an article sometime tonight, I already
started, but I've got a ways to go...but I'll do that later.

Finally, the weekend is here!!! That's all for
today...go to the Link Zone and read my new article,
"Quest for Corn."

9:43PM
Well, I think the school is trying to take control
of my constitutional rights, I will put Russellville High School on my page,
and I will put it with pride...or just to prove that I'm correct...that's probably
more accurate...So I have re-modified "My Zone" to it's origional look.
5:43PM
Whew...band practice in less than an hour...at
least it's at night this year, it's a little cooler and not as sunny. Well today
I found out some shocking news, I, nor any other student for that matter, is
allowed to have the name of our high school appear on our personan webpages!
What kind of insainity is this!!! Due to this, "My Zone"
is being slightly altered. Well, that's all for now...all my classes seem pretty
cool as of now, but I will keep you all posted if anything were to change.

7:13PM
Hmmm...well, first day of school, and what can
I say? All my classes seem good, one of my teacher wasn't there...on the first
day!...strange. In PT 1/Physical Science...or whatever...James Hendrick and
I figurued out how this little bird thing worked... Mr. Brown said that in his
5 years of teaching, it was the best explaination he had ever heard...on the
first day of class. So congratulations to us. Ummm...I suppose that's about
it.

Sorry to dissappoint you all, but I didn't shave,
I did however get my ears lowered.
1:23PM
Well, in about an hour I go to get my back to school
ear-lowering, what fun! Well, anyway, don't forget about band practice tonight
from 6:30-8:00PM at the high school. Ahh...I'm gonna go shave...ok... see most
of yall tomorrow, or tonight!

2:23PM
I was at school a little while ago getting my schedule
and making sure it was ok. While I was there, I saw Mr. Henery, he told me to
remind everyone of the practice Tuesday night from 6:30-8:00PM at the High School,
so if you don't get a phone call, consider this your reminder.
12:27PM
Two more days of freedom, then school starts. Last
night my mom got all mad cause my sister and I hadn't done some stuff she asked,
so I had to get off the computer early, I was kinda mad. Now dad's telling me
to start writing an essay to put on scholarship applications, and I don't even
know what it's supposed to be about. Oh well, I guess I can come up with something
to meet his needs. I am definitly ready to start school, it will give me an
opportunity to spend most of my day without my parents getting on my case all
of the time. I used to be scared of going to college, now I can't wait to get
out of the house.
