Music: Sickman - Alice in Chains I think this pretty much sums up my feelings right now... 4.28.02 - 7:17 AM
Music: Terminal Iron Lose - Jason, Micah, Chris Yes, that's right folks. I've been up since four ay-em, contemplating random facts in life. One thing that's crossed my mind since that time is the radiometer, and for the third time this morning I threw off my cogvers and started up my computer to research such an elusive subject. When I was in fifth grade, we played with radiometers briefly and one day after a big test we had an extra credit question where we had to take a radiometer outside and explain how it worked. I tell you, that was an interesting experience. I wrote about how light was reflected off one side of the radiometer, and absorbed on the other, thus causing motion. I wondered if my suspicions were correct, and thought perhaps that the device was a bi-metallic strip of some sort, but then why only black and white in color? Why not red ane blue? Green and yellow? It seems odd to me that such an occurrence is possible, but my research supports it. So, on my quest I learned that I was in fact correct in my assumptions. The light reflected off the white side and absorbed on the black side causes the gas inside the radiometer to heat up for quickly on one side and they move more rapidly. I don't even NEED to go into diffusion/dispersion tactics. What's also interesting is that under vacuum conditions, light still exerts a tiny amount of pressure. You should also be informed that light (6th dimensional forces) are omnipresent. Wacky!!! 4.27.02 - 11:04 PM
Music: Rooster - Alice in Chains I'm tired. I'm supposed to go to Baltimore tomorrow in a last ditch effort to leave Atlanta. Four days to make a decision. Yee haw!! I've gotta get on the ball quick. Less than twenty days left of school. I'm tired and have a headache, but I feel bad about going to bed now. Bleh, maybe I'll wander around my room trying to stay awake... 4.24.02 - 10:18 PM
Music: Sir Yes Sir - Tomahawk Well, Monday night I indulged myself by witnessing firsthand the hitwave ( o||||||| ) power of Candiria, who were quite good. Due to lack of funds, I opted to not purchase a Candiria hoodie, though I thought it'd be a funny joke against emo pansies, but it IS summer. I've been working and what not. Less than twenty days of school left, I think. I've almost made it. I think I'm staying here for college, but I don't want to stay in this house. I NEED TO GET OUT. For my mental health... I'm ready to do exciting things in life, and I'm tired of being tied down by doubt and fear. I need to find myself, even if I have to pick myself up out of the gutter first. Well, on a side note, yesterday I was waiting for my friend Micah after school so I could give him a ride home, and this girl came out of the ESOL room. She immediately came over to me, as I was wearing my Che t-shirt, and said "Ohhhh! You know who is it?" to which I replied, "yes." She then said "He is a famous revolutionary from my country. I am from Argentina. He is verrry popular." I smiled at this and gave her a thumbs up. I also talked to this German girl Natalie in my psychology class. We made fun of these sheets where we had to choose what plant, means of transportation, landscape, and article of clothing we would be. I was moss (pointless), a teleporter (existing in two places at once), canyon filled with lava (cause savages made fresh blood sacrifices there), and a hat (they're yellow and gangsters wear them). She commented about others' "Zey're all zhe zsame. Roszes." And then hers was like a daisy, because it was quiet and beautiful. Hahaha. It was cool. Foreign students rock. 4.21.02 - 9:16 PM
Music: Advent - Opeth Layne Staley, lead singer of Alice in Chains was found dead yesterday in his Seattle home, most likely of a heroin overdose. Heroin has claimed the lives of several talented musicians, and as Seattle's King 5 news stated, "was also part of the grunge scene." I've wanted to try heroin before, still do. I get a lot of shit for saying stuff like that, but I get a lot of shit no matter what I do so I guess there's not much more to expect. Addiction is a terrible thing, and drugs can be, too when they are used for an escape. What people need to realize however, is that people use escape routes all the time. Alcohol and caffeine are drugs, as is nicotine. Beyond these, our escape routes extend into television, money, fame, and later hate, anger, and despair. Some of us use drugs as an escape. We don't learn much from it, except that the world is unforgiving. It doesn't care. No one really cares until it's too late... Get informed, but an addict will only quit when he's ready....

Music: Champagne From A Paper Cup - Death Cab For Cutie Here I am, distraught again. I suppose I'm looking for someone to understand myself...to relate, but everyone seems so dead, or concerned with themselves. Not that some of it's a problem, it just doesn't fit me. Everyone who I think I know turns out to be comepletely different. I yearn to find some person, 'cause I feel like I'm dying without them. I don't even know if they exist... I haven't been too lyrically inspired lately, but I did get my school's literary magazine, with two of my poems in it. Maybe I'll post them....maybe I won't. Anyway, I need to come up with lyrics for our newest song... Yesterday, I was wearing a dillinger escape plan shirt, and had walked into this pharmacy after purchasing pinback's new album, to visit my friend dale. The other girl behind the counter smiled and said 'I like your shirt,' to which I replied 'well, thanks.' And later she commented that she had the same pinback album, and it was pretty good for mellow moods. It was odd that some person recognized these two, completely unrelated bands. I better depart. I need to find food... 4.18.02 - 10:29 AM

Music: Styrofoam Plates - Death Cab For Cutie
I guess I barely see the point in life anymore. Everything seems so meaningless for me, so what can I do but try to help others? I can't seem to even succeed in that. I have not even the slightest clue for what I want to do in life, if I will succeed, or what. I was told not too long ago by Stephanie that she thought my views of life stemmed from the fact I was forced to deal with the harshness of life way too soon, before I should have. My friends aren't the ones to hug, or show much emotion, but I don't think I could count much on them anyway. I really needed this time for break to escape and see things from another point of view, but I failed to do so. I don't even know what to say now... 4.8.02 - 9:40 PM
Music: Advent - Opeth
I went on my walk, and realized how beautiful my neighborhood is. It was beautiful outside. I've gone back and forth on every possible issue lately. What I want to do with my life, ethics, caring, all of it. I can't find that any of it matters, and that bothered me at times. I'm not so sure now... Looking for the path.... 4.6.02 - 2:03 AM

Music: Zombie Inc. - In Flames
My band will be recording our demo soon, in a matter of weeks. It will consist of four songs of our newest material. I hope it goes well. I have one more week before spring break. Hopefully I can hold out, though I may not bother with some school sicne we most likely won't be doing much. Time for slack.... 3.30.02 - 7:47 PM
Music: Debate Exposes Doubt - Death Cab For Cutie
I had practice today, which was pointless as our equipment was being used by our drummer (who wasn't there) so we just listened to music and practcied a few new songs on acoustic guitars. We're recording our demo soon. I hope all goes well. On another note, I (for the second time in two days) let a chocolate cream egg melt in my pocket. Rather than changing my pants, however, I opted to consume some of the chocolate and then wash my pocket (and my keys) instead. Yeah, you probably think I'm gross, but good chocolate should not go to waste. "The Photo Album" by Death Cab For Cutie is great. I suggest you give it a listen. Now it's time for food. Goodbye. 3.27.02 - 9:03 PM
Music: Information Travels Faster - Death Cab For Cutie
Had an alright day. I may be working for Music Midtown as a tech/roadie person. Yee-haw! I need the money. I also need to call Stephanie, I think.... 3.26.02 - 8:49 PM
Music: Why You'd Want To Live Here - Death Cab For Cutie
