Well, I am officially a high school graduate,
and it feels great! Sunday we had our commencement ceremony, it was very nice,
the highlight of it all was probably when clint pulled out a cigar when he got
his diploma, that was pretty good. After that was done with, we had a party
at my house, we were playing basketball, and Dan decided to dunk, and...bent
the heck out of my rim, ok..no problem...we got a ladder, and bent it back...kinda...Later
that night, after more people came...there was more dunking, at one point my
rim was almost perpenducular to the ground...that was pretty weird lookin...once
again, we managed to make it look kind of OK, but after that...we didn't play
anymore, but that's ok. OK, let's see...what else...oh, I got new glasses today,
they're quite nice, I bet you all can't wait to see them. Hmmm...I guess that's
all for now.

Well, I've been awake for about two hours
now. Last night, I was at the Relay for Life from about 7:00PM-7:00AM, and it
was really a lot of fun. I wasn't really on anyone of the teams, but I stayed
the whole time anyway. I was with the LGC group, and some of us, well, I think
only me, stayed up all night long. There was always someone to talk to, or something
to do, so I had a good time, and for a good cause too! We used my GPS around
the track to see how fast we were walking, that was kinda neat. I guess that's
all for now.

Well, people, it is a proud day
for me. I purchased a GPS, I've been wanting one for a while, and since
I got graduation money this week, I decided to purchase one. And there
it is, right there at the left--also the little animation that plays when
you first turn it on, so I thought that was neat, so I put it on here.
OK, let's see, what else, ah yes, I went to Opry Mills yesterday, it was
quite nice. It was me, dan, steff, and patrick. We saw a movie and ate
and shopped, but the most fun was probably on the way home. As we were
approaching Springfield, we were passing a moving train, and I said how
I always wanted to put a penny on the tracks and see the train flatten
it out, so I sped up and we got ahead of the train and pulled off at a
road crossing. we put down the pennies and waited, finally the train came,
but then...to our surprise, it stopped, so we collected what change we
could find, and drove off to look for another place to get back onto the
main road. We went to the next little street we could find and when we
got to the rail road tracks again, we found the the train was backing
up, so..instead of waiting there, we decided to go back to the first place
so that when the train was gone, we could look for more pennies. Well,
when we got back, we discovered that the train that was backing up, wasn't
even the same train, it was on a different track, it had to back up, so
the other one...the first one...could switch tracks. So, once again, we
decided to wait and while we waited, we put more pennies on the track
with the second train on it. Finally the origional train was gone, but
the new one still didn't move, then about 10 minutes later, another train
comes roaring by on the first track...ok we thought, now it will move...however..yet
again, nothing. by this time it was almost 7:40PM, Patrick and I decided
that if this train didn't move by 8:00PM we were going to find a new way
home. Then, at about 7:50PM a third train comes by on the original track,
and once it passed, the second train started to back up again, when it
had passed, we collected our flattened coins and left before another train
to keep us there any longer. It was a very good day.

of the song portion of the news. First and formost, I'd like to wish my wonderful
friend Jessica a very very happy birthday, she's the big 1-8 today, so Jessica,
happy birthday! Hmm..what else is new...Next wednesday we're thinking about
spending the whole day at Zap Zone, Brad said you can get an all day pass for
like 20 dollars...that's like 14 hours...sounds pretty good to me!! OK, that's
enough for now.

Well, what can I say, Prom was great!!,
not only prom itself, but basically everything from 2:30 yesterday afternoon,
to 5:00 this morning. After pictures, we (Jahn & Kayla, Me & Andrea)
went to eat in Clarksville, after that, it was still a bit too early to head
back to Russellville, so we went to Target--that was really fun, Jahn took a
picture of the cashier--who was not very happy about it. Then we came back to
Rville, and got to prom at about 10:00. Prepare yourself, there was karoke at
the prom! Myself and several other guys sang "You've lost that lovin feelin"
and then at the very end, we all sang "Free Bird" it was really really
great! Then after prom we went to Andrea's house and changed then back to Kayla's
house for about an hour. Andrea had to be home around 3:00AM so I took her home,
and decided to go on to another party that a lot of my friends were at. So I
start driving, I had a map to get to Jessica's house, but it was at home, and
I figured I could find it without it...well, I was wrong, I think I was probably
on one of the smallest roads in Logan County and I stayed on it for about 10
miles...and this is at about 3:30AM...that defines craziness. Then after finally
deciding that I was on the wrong road, I turned around and went back out to
the main road and decided to go a bit farther to see if I came to another road
that looked more promising. I found one, I turned on it, and it seemed to fit
the description that Jessica had told me in school on Friday, there was a sharp
curve, and at the end, I turned left--everything was going good, or so I thought--I
passed what I would later find out was her house--then I turned around, because
she told me that if I came to another intersection, that I had gone to far...
so then, after turning around, I passed her house again..somehow I had a feeling
that this was her house, but there were no cars of other pople that I knew should
have been there in the driveway, so I didnt' want to risk waking someone up
at 4:00, and find out it was the wrong house, so I decided to give up, and I
came home. By the time I got into my bedroom it was pushing 5:00AM, and I looked
at the hand-drawn map that had been made for me, and found out that I was right,
it was her house, however, the actual party was in a cabin that is quite a ways
behind her house, and there was a separat driveway that I should have taken
to get back to it, which explains the lack of cars in the driveway. Well, now
I know where she lives, what good that dose me know...maybe not much, but it
does make for a pretty good story.

Prom has finally come. Yes, that's right,
in just three short hours, I will be out getting pictures taken, then going
to dinner with other friends, then on to the prom...I can't wait. I'm taking
my mom's car, and I think I should probably wash it first, but I'll do that
in a little bit. Last night, there was a lock-in at Zap Zone in Bowling Green,
I went with 7 other people, we stayed til midnight then came home, since 3 of
the poeple that went had to go to prom tonight, but it was still fun. One time
when we were in there, they started playing "Believe" by Cher, and
Hef and I just sang and danced the whole game, I don't think I shot a single
person that whole game--I'm serious, but it was best game I played, go figure.
Well, I'm gonna go wash that car now, so I suppose that will be all for now,
and most likley for the rest of the day!

Thursday, the countdown continues; 4-6
more days of school, I'm still not really sure which it's gonna be, and I may
not know until early next week. I should be able to exempt my finals, however,
I'm not sure if all that ALC business affects that..so I guess I'll have to
find out next week when they make an announcement about who gets exempted and
who doesn't. Well, I'm going to Zap Zone tomorrow night, for the second straight
weekend in a row, and there's a 12 hour lock-in this time, but we have prom
the next day, so some of us are only going to stay for a couple of hours--which
is better than nothing! Dang, I can't wait to graduate, it feels like it's still
forever away, but it's only like a week. I am soo ready for college to get here,
I never really thought I would be, and of course after my first week I may be
ready to come home again, but I really am looking forward to going.

May...yes a wonderful month; and why is
it such a wonderful month you ask?...well, I'll tell you why, because it's GRADUATION
month of course! That's right ladies and gentlemen, I have but five, count them,
1, 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 days of school left! I can't wait for it to end. Well, I think
it's 5, it could be as many as seven. Oh well, close enough. Well, by now most
of you probably know that I spent nearly 2 weeks in ALC for being a boy scout,
well, that makes it sound like I got screwed, but really I had a survival kit
in my back pack and during a bomb-threat locker search, they found the knife
in it. So they did what they had to do I suppose, but I just want to thank everyone
for all the support I recieved while I was in there, it's great to know there
are poeple you can count on in times of need! Anyway, it seems like there was
something else I was gonna say but I sidetracked myself, oh well, maybe I'll
think of it tomorrow!
