The Long Road
Tragedy Is Life


Thursday, January 30  

So we had another fun night tonight... Me Lacey Rob Mellisa and Tom... Jo Jo couldn't come... sucks... oh well...we played capture the flag.... quite fun... I found out I am actually quite fast... ran down a few people that should be wayyyy faster then me... I've done a lot fo running today... ran in school... ran there... all good... anyway yeah... Tom will be joining us as part of the blogging group... yay.... I should prolly check to see if there's anything people commented that I should erase but oh well... anyway to bed with me...

The legend lives on from the Chippewa on down
Of the big lake they called 'Gitche Gumee'
The lake, it is said, never gives up her dead
When the skies of November turn gloomy
With a load of iron ore twenty-six thousand tons more
Than the Edmund Fitzgerald weighed empty.
That good ship and true was a bone to be chewed
When the gales of November came early.
The ship was the pride of the American side
Coming back from some mill in Wisconsin
As the big freighters go, it was bigger than most
With a crew and good captain well seasoned
Concluding some terms with a couple of steel firms
When they left fully loaded for Cleveland
And later that night when the ship's bell rang
Could it be the north wind they'd been feelin'?

The wind in the wires made a tattle-tale sound
And a wave broke over the railing
And every man knew, as the captain did too,
T'was the witch of November come stealin'.
The dawn came late and the breakfast had to wait
When the Gales of November came slashin'.
When afternoon came it was freezin' rain
In the face of a hurricane west wind.

When suppertime came, the old cook came on deck sayin'.
Fellas, it's too rough to feed ya.
At Seven P.M. a main hatchway caved in, he said
Fellas, it's been good t'know ya
The captain wired in he had water comin' in
And the good ship and crew was in peril.
And later that night when his lights went outta sight
Came the wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald.

Does any one know where the love of God goes
When the waves turn the minutes to hours?
The searches all say they'd have made Whitefish Bay
If they'd put fifteen more miles behind her.
They might have split up or they might have capsized;
May have broke deep and took water.
And all that remains is the faces and the names
Of the wives and the sons and the daughters.

Lake Huron rolls, Superior sings
In the rooms of her ice-water mansion.
Old Michigan steams like a young man's dreams;
The islands and bays are for sportsmen.
And farther below Lake Ontario
Takes in what Lake Erie can send her,
And the iron boats go as the mariners all know
With the Gales of November remembered.

In a musty old hall in Detroit they prayed,
In the Maritime Sailors' Cathedral.
The church bell chimed till it rang twenty-nine times
For each man on the Edmund Fitzgerald.
The legend lives on from the Chippewa on down
Of the big lake they call 'Gitche Gumee'.
Superior, they said, never gives up her dead
When the gales of November come early!

I was watching the News today and they had this story about the School Board being unhappy with our standardized test scores again... it was the usual thing that they always say... "California has the worse standardized testing rating in the united states" or some such crock... Then they had a plan to introduce a new test to us so that they might get us to do better... Another fricking test... we don't you badly on standardized tests begaus we don't know how to take them you friggin idiots... we do badly cause we don't care... you're not gonna get a kid to care more about tests by giving him/her more tests to take... you're gonna get kids to care by giving them incentive to care... but now that you're too poor to even pay for the tests you make us take you prolly also can't afford to make it worth our while.. you keep telling us that if we do better you'll take a way some of the tests... why should that make us care... by the time you get that past we'll be out of highschool and will have done a that stupid caring so that some stupid little kid won't have to... I really hate the California School Board... most of those people haven't sen the inside of a classroom in more then thirty years and have no business deciding what we should be doing as students... I really only have one thing to say to them... you can take this stupid STAR equvilant and shove it

I was looking at everyone's blogs today.... and I noticed something... we all seem to get depressed around the same times... My theory is that we depress each other... and that Reber is actually the only real depressed one... not really... I also noticed that if somebody brings up something stupid or something that doesn't matter a lot we'll comment the crap out of it... but when one of us blogs something depressing or something that's just reaching out for attention we won't touch it with a ten foot pole... that in itself is rather depressing too... I also noticed tha twhen one of us finally has reason to get out of depression.. Rob in this particular case... and does so... we don't really seem to follow... we continue to wallow in self pity... this goes completely against what we're learning in psychology right now.. we've got no positive reinforcement for being depressed yet we continue to do so... oh well... I guess we don't know everything about the human mind yet

I really am very happy for Rob..

posted by Joel | 11:16 PM

 

Today was fairly cool... the Raiders lost... Rob is no longer the girlfriendless guy in the group.... I'm not really counting Tom as part of the group yet.... anyway... I am suddenly starting to feel incredibly lonely... I'm now the replacement Rob just unofficially... I can only call Krystal when people aren't there really... And I'm now the only legal driver since Reber's car crapped on him.... I'm necessary.... but only for transportation... and I'm not even smart enough to get gas money out of the deal... nobody's got enough money to give anyway... now I'm gonna have to get a job... one that more then likely take my weekends away from me.... these deals with me and Reber doing our homework together are likely to end since he'll be on someone else's schedule now... Journalism will be harder... and this post actually started out positively... I really did have a great time tonight... I'm just starting to see it all go away... Jenny Sean, Lacey Jo Jo, Rob Mellissa, David Sarah, Michelle Danny, Joel and the phone?.... Joel and MSN messenger? Joel and I'll see you in a couple months? I'm starting to get pissed at life... that's not a good state to be in... I've got it good... I've got a wonderful loving girlfriend regardless of the fact that she's several hundred miles away... It's Valentines day pretty soon... all sharp objects and blunt objects and projectile weapons... and you know what I'll prolly just put myself in a padded room for a night.... but then we'll prolly have a party that night... and I'll be designated driver... without the alcohol connontation hopefully... anyways I was going through the list of good things in my life... I'm gonna go to a good college... I've got a great homelife... my car works... though I should trade it in for a taxi... which I now wouldn't be able to afford since I'm poor... oh and I got like a 2.2 average on my last report cart according to college method of counting.... My SATs aren't gonna count for as much as we hoped they would... I'm gonna be in debt for my entire life if I don't do better this semester... better being like 4.0... POSITIVE dangit... welll.... I've got cleaning wipes for my car... My walk's doing better recently... though not good enough to counteract this I guess.. my ear is making everything I hear ring... won't equilize pressure well... my mom mentioned ear infection... grr at ear... at least it doesn't hurt bad now... my mind is doing stuff with Darkness Falls... not even really that scary... It's about the toothfairy gone bad basicaly... I hate my imagination... peaches come in a can they were put there by a man downtown at the factory... moving to the country, gonna eat a lot of peaches, moving to the country gonna eat me a lot of peaches... Millions of peaches, peaches for me, Millions of peaches, peaches for free....

I just wrote this essay and am fairly proud of it... sorry that none of you(except da of course) are in it but I don't think attributes taken from you guys would inpress a college... jk

As I look back on my life it seems to me that all my memories seem to be about the people who have shaped me rather then events that have happened. In a way that seems a little sad at first because I have had many events that should stand out as great things in my mind but after contemplating for a moment I realize that that’s how it should be. The people after all are far more important indeed. They are the ones who truly shaped who I am and who I will become.
The first rational memories I have all seem to be about my second and third grade teacher, Mr. Miller. Mr. Miller taught a combination class of first, second, and third grade children, and he was good at it. He was quite possibly the most creative man I ever met, and one of the most daring. He always had amazingly interesting demonstrations for every lesson he taught. Counting snacks for addition lessons, mixing chemicals x, b, and a for some basic chemistry, putting on a school play to illustrate the story of the thanksgiving feast, these were only a few examples. He was also never afraid to make his opinions known but still encouraged us to create opinions of our own. He is what started my interest in becoming a teacher.
Shortly after this time was when my parents started to talk to me about what I wanted to do with my life and even what college I wanted to go to. Growing up in a small town it seemed really weird to be thinking about plans that seemed so far away, and if anyone else was my father it might have been strange indeed. My father is a very intelligent man and was a far above average student. He could have had his pick of colleges but his parents never talked to him about what he wanted to do so he really didn’t have many aspirations beyond high school. He wanted to make sure I knew exactly what I wanted and what it would take to get it. Along with most of my personality I claim my parents to be the main reason I actually have a plan for my life.
Two years later I found a sport that shaped the man I am more then any single activity in my life. I found football, and with it a coach who I respect more for his determination then any other I know. Dave Castner was a County Roads Department worker who in the free-time he could muster was the head coach of the county Pop-Warner team. He was never a very erudite man but in the first year I played for him he was diagnosed with MS. He didn’t tell us this until the end of the year after we had won the league championship but we could all tell something was wrong. He never missed a single practice though. He was always there for us, even when his mind wasn’t his heart was. I believe very firmly that we wouldn’t have won a single game without that man, and I know I’ve become ten times the football player I would’ve been simply by striving to be more like Dave.
When I played for Dave I was a determined but inexperienced little kid. A few years later In my sophomore year of high school I was the star, more experienced and far bigger then anyone around me. That’s when I met them man I now strive to be, coach Pelfrey. I have always liked my lineman coaches and respected them completely, but when coach Pelfrey came along he was so many steps above all the others it was amazing. Not only was he an expert coach, he was also a very compassionate man and through that trait he brought every guy under him into the team. We didn’t have detractors from our unity that year. Nobody had any problems with anybody else. We didn’t win the championship that year. We didn’t even beat our rivals the Oakdale Mustangs, but I wouldn’t trade that year for any other simply because we all got along. That is what makes a good team what it is, and that compassion is something I’ll strive for so I can be a good team member and hopefully use it in a teaching career.
Creativity, daring, vision, determination, and compassion, these five things are what I hope to take from the life I’ve lived. These things would get any teacher a national teachers award. And with these great examples to follow I believe that I could accomplish this goal.

It appears that we won't be going to SF today... much anger... oh well.... I hope Spring's cousin knows about this before he shows up at the bart station... that'd be bad... anyway... I'm still likely to do something with these people today but now we will have 2 cars... no more sardines in the back... and apparantly David get's to borrow his mom's econo vehicle in a couple weeks so we could take the whole gang down..hopefully Rob won't be busy for that one.... hopefully me either... I'm gonna go up to Willamette. during the presidents day break thingy.... maybe... spend a couple days getting offers from college coaches with Rob Hoyt and Brian Turner... those two are good guys... I know many of you think of them as arrogant and the like but... I've got experiance with them that tells me they're good guys... They both work harder in a game then anybody I know... even me... those fits you see Turner throwing when he gets hurt... that's not cause he can't up his own record now... It's cause he knows he's our best player and he wants to be in there for us... anyway... that'll be fun... better then doing the same thing with Joe Harris I can guarantee you that... He on the other hand is as arrogant as they come... I'm gonna stop now since nobody really cares... bye

Here lies the old myth,
breaking the mold with,
truth to take away the trickery.
Twenty centuries of progress,
suffer slowly as we regress,
losing headway to ourselves.
Behold the covers, the sisters, the mothers,
the daughters, and spouses, on the magazines.
Truth has been abused.
How could she fill those shoes?
Propaganda meant to fuel their schemes.

She is strong but never silent,
sure of where her truth/strength comes from.,
one day, one girl army will overcome.
Treading the current, issues at hand,
Shifting, we sway, from justice and then back again.
What we once broke, He has made right,
lifting her up, giving birth to Jesus Christ.

bleeding thoughts
cracking boulder
don't fall over
fake your laughter
burn the tear
sing it louder
twist and shout

way up here
we stand on shoulders
growing colder
laugh or cry
I won't mind
sing it louder
twist and shout

immovable shadows the concrete girl
they'll rock your world to nothing
and they're swimming around again, again
and they're swimming around the concrete girl

catch your breath
like four leaf clover
hand it over
scream to no one
take your time
sing it louder
twist and shout

nothing to run from is worse than something
and all your fears of nothing
and they're swimming around again, again
and they're swimming around again, again
and they're swimming around the concrete girl

concrete girl
don't fall down
in this broken
world around you
concrete girl
don't fall down
don't fall down
my concrete girl

don't stop thinking
don't stop feeling now

one step away from where we were
and one step back to nothing

and we're standing on top of our hopes and fears
and we're fighting for words now concrete girl
and we're swimming around again, again
and we're swimming around now concrete girl

La de da de da.... I ish vurry bowred.... I wonder if that last bit is part of the springish language.,.... I wouldn't know so oh well.. I know ish and vurry.... that's about it.... dashboard confessional is stinking uber... I know everyone already knows this... but still... Yayyyyy more dashboard confessional... I'm gonna stop now
bye

So quiet another wasted night, the television steals the conversation exhale, another wasted breath, again it goes unnoticed.

Please tell me you're just feeling tired cause if it's more than that I feel that I might break out of touch, out of time. Please send me anything but signals that are mixed cause I can't read your rolling eyes out of touch, are we out of time?

Close lipped another goodnight kiss is robbed of all it's passion, your grip another time, is slack it leaves me feeling empty.

I'll wait until tomorrow maybe you'll feel better then maybe we'll be better then so what's another day when I can't bear these nights of thoughts of going on without you this mood of yours is temporary it seems worth the wait to see your smile again out of the corner of your eye wont be the only way you'll look at me then.

Anyway... on with the story... After Azusa we went straight to Krystal's house and... uhhhhh... like stood around and talked for a while... I think... my mind's drawing a blank on this particular section of the trip... saw her room for short period of time... Craig (her dad) is totally not cool with me being in there so It was brief... then we drove around for a while cause he didn't want us in the house while they were gone... so Krystal took me and my parents to the mall... It's all coming back to me now.... We went to the mall... had a cheese on a stick... one of the most fattening things in existance... other then perhaps fried twinkies... and a Lime lemonade... Both being quite good despite the feeling that your arteries could no longer let blood through... Then we went by her store... Motherhood... That was an interesting experiance... Walking into a maternity store with your girlfriend... oh well... and that seemed pretty cool... Then after a bit more killing time someone called to let us know that they were almost home... when we got there they still weren't there so We stood around outside talking some more.. (I think that's what we did at least)... Finally everyone got there and we went to this really awesome Japanese Restaurant where they cook the food in front of you and throw it at you and stuff... It was a blast... There were a LOT of people around us that had too much Sake they were loud and obnoxious... half the meal you could be highly entertained (in the horror movie sort of way) by watchng Craig's head turn into a volcano... after a while he got up and we all though that he was gonna go blow up on them.. then he turned and went into the bathroom... Big sighs of relief....... turns out that he was simply following one of the people into the bathroom so he could admonish him politely... (Which means that he didn't bruise any area's that showed... jk) And went back to drinking his plum wine and having fun... Our cook guy was having an off night or something cause he hit everyone like three times before he got the rice balls into their mouth... only my dad escaped this... Craig pretended like he didn't wanna do it at first then got real into it... It was pretty funny to watch... he's not very good at hiding his eagerness... maybe it was the wine... anyway We had an excellent time there and then went back to Krystal's house where my parents separated from us and went to my Grandpa's house.. This is getting wayyyyyyyyy long now........ oh well... got lots of days to make up for... Then we all played Scotland Yard... interesting game... a lot like clue except the only goal is to find the person... Apparantly a very rare game... Anyway.... Krystal played the guy we were trying to find.... and womped on us.... Craig was so funny on that... He was being wayyyyyyy too logical... and also announcing everything he thought.... he'd be really good at that game if it was on the internet or something where he could talk to the players without Mr. X hearing.... oh well... I knew were we had gone wrong but it was too late by the time I figured it out.... then we did some other stuff and went to bed at like 2:00AM and woke up at like 7:00AM to go to Disneyland... Mach fun involved but mostly just for me to know... and Krystal of course.... then we went to the Rainforest Cafe... Had Shrimp Embroche and coconut bread pudding int Rum Apricot sauce.... yum.... then went back in... blah blah blah.... fireworks cool.... blah... funny tour guy.... blah.... not at all boring but stuff I'm not gonna tell you... uber owned the Tea Cups... anyway... Found the best bottle thingy in existance... would make uber Molotov Cocktail... anyway... went home... sleep thingy... then church the next morning.. Roger (Krystal's Friend) Jumps on me when he sees me... good kid... if a mite excitable... Then the sermon was really good... it was on giving out of your excess.. I'd never hear one on that before... or specifically on that anyway... Then we went to IHOP where we got to see how much Craig really can eat... it was crazy.... I was quite happy with my omelet anyway... then we went around Winchester(nearby town) and did stuff... saw the man-made lake.... was cool.... went back to the house.... and pretty much went back to Grandpa's house.... Had good food on the way.... and the rest is far more boring

Yayyy... home sweet home... can I go back now? Had the uberest weekend of my life... Started with long car ride all the way to Lavern.... that being near LA and the residence of my Grandparents.... then a wonderful night of absolutely meaningless chatter with the obstinate old man... I actually like my grandpa but It sounded cool... and everything said was true if a little exaggerated... Then we went to Chapman college and actual fun began... It appears that Chapman has some poor, ineffectual geek playing right guard for them and would very much like it if I would come to replace him... turns out that they're not very serious about their football program either... they only had one football player in their gym when we went by and only practiced during the season... I was rather dissappointed with that but it still seemed a good school to go to... then we went to Azusa and they take the entirely different approach... they were in the gym when I got there... very tough program.... It's easy to see why they beat Chapman... but anyway that was a lot of fun... and I'll talk about the rest later... I'm gonna go rest for a little while so that when David gets here I'll actually be able to do Physics.... there are a few things that I didn't miss at all

Rode in gimpy today... not recommended form of transportation... Reber's absolutely insane... I think someone's gonna die in that car someday... probably lots of somebodies... andway sat there and watched everyone play ddr... tried it once... we shall never speak of it again... ever... though I totally understand the attraction... didn't use to either... anyway I would like to play if I could start doing it privately and had a heavy duty pad... I don't trust it... with homw much force those guys were putting into their stomps... Think of this.. I can press 1000 lbs with my legs... and it was freshman year when I last tested myself for a leg press max.... I can outlift anyone who's ever been in our school with my legs.... maybe even pelfrey.... Then put my bodyweight on top of all that... I think fox's pad wouldn't stand a chance... anyway I wish I had a million dollars

I woke up this morning with a clean slate
There was a smile on my face and I'm void of hate
I'm emotionally balanced, at least for today
Tomorrow may be different who's to say
I grin ear to ear as i walk through the halls
My mind is singing
I'm not going to fall
Once again
I'm not going to fall
I‘m not going to fall
I will not fall
I will not
I will not
I will not
I have a clean slate,
I will not fall again

I almost got mugged for my sweatshirt today... this guy said if it was his size he'd beat me up for it... I was like "well I'm sorry it's not..." then he said that he'd offer me two bags of weed for it.... "ok bye" the crosswalk light had just turned green... this trip was full of good quotes.... "It's the gladawagon not the sexawagon" or "Oh what cute flowers."-store clerk lady "yeah... my girlfriend bought them... for herself!!"-david... lady walks away hurridly... "did you guys get engaged?"-random guy to our two couples... guy on street ranting about how his beer was ruined because someone pissed in it... Sarah predicted that he did it himself.... Sarah also predicted that I would be both pooped on... and hit on... much to my general happiness and sanity.... neither happened.... "Ahh we're falling"-uhhh one of the group "Not funny"-me... The difference between bravery and stupidity is all in the outcome.... I said that... I'm so proud of myself... *pats self on the back* my shrink told me to do that.... "come on Joel it's your last chance to go porning.... I just got the evil glare"-Lacey "Movin' to the country... gonna eat me a lot of peaches" "only the stupid people are reproducing" "If you don't shut up I'm gonna beat you with my steel-toed boots.. you laugh now but just wait until you say another word"-sarah "You know what internal bleeding feels like?"-sarah "My stomach felt like it was gonna drop through my body and leave a horrible hole that burns"-Lacey....

I hate life.... I started today under the assumption that It would be busy but I was gonna get a laptop out of the deal... we pulled my money out of my savings account and used most of my christmas money and borrowed like 80 bucks from my parents.. (hey when I've got no job and haven't for months now It's pretty good that I didn't have to borrow a lot more) we pulled together 350 bucks... all I needed to attain the instant kill-boredom... I had it all planned out... I was gonna have something to do for the rest of my life with that thing... and guess what happens when I finally find the scoundrel... "I decided not to sell it".... can you imagine 6 worse words in the world.... I'm going to make you dead would have been more preferable at the moment... so yeah... I'm supremely pissed... I'm gonna go purchase a rifle instead now.. I'll only use it once but It'll be worth it

It was of far less quality then earlier times... very rude people and a retarded person who would make comments a lot... I feel sorry for her but I still woulda rather been with David and whoever he went with at the later show... found out about that from the message on my machine after I got home but oh well.... anyway I'm going... bye

So we went stargazing today.. my parents were clueless as to why people would actuall want to do such things but It was actually a cool trip... it started out with moving everything in existance at Rob's house... then waiting around while he got ready with all of "my gang"... It's rather interesting to me that a group of peopke names itself after pretty much it's quietest member... aside from Haley of course... anyway when we finally got there I needed a little oil and we all needed blankets... which by the way noone informed me of... I coulda had hecka blankets availiable... anyway luckily gimpy was with us so we had plenty of oil availiable so that was taken care of and I happened to have one small blanket in the back... lucky me.... It turns out that the whole point of stargazing is to have an excuse to sit on the side of a mountain with your friends in the dark... no actual gazing at stars is supposed to occur... While I learned this fact rather quickly the idea was rather lost on Haley who separated herself pretty well from us and just looked up.... we kept coming to where she was and I think that annoyed her a little bit... she did however seem to enjoy freaking people out by throwing rocks into the darkness.... anyhow this fun and games came to a rather abrupt halt when Sarah suddenly fell over on us... When I looked back I laughed... I thought Reber fell down or something.... I keep thinking to myself... what if that's the first thing she heard when she came back to... mocking laughter... I'm such a complete Idiot... but anyway after a few moments of everyone asking sarah if she was ok multiple times I took charge of situation and got her into a car where she could warm back up and breathe a little... Maybe that makes up for mocking laughter thing... No... probably not...*shoots himself in the head* stupid me... anyway I'm gonna go to bed now

I think I is broked.. there is absolutely no way I'm gonna be able to do this.. oh well I'll just find some quotage

You come to me with your look of superiority
Have you asked yourself today
How real is what you believe?
In one moment He will make me complete
Do I talk about it
To be apart of the elite

You try draw the words out of my mouth
Show me what to do
But then I'll die if I live thru you
We're here to love and not to be manipulated
To each his own
And that should never be understated
