The immaturity level of some people just fascinates me. Don't get me wrong, I mess around like its nobody's business. Some people just disturb others for no reason what so ever and I find it ridiculous.
Without giving out any names specifically, I will give a grand example.
If you are no longer friends with someone ( no matter how ludicrous the reasons may be), wouldn't it be logical to sever any contact that you have with that person? I know that I wouldnt want to even think of anyone like that, let alone direct things at them.
This has been occuring a lot lately over the website Twitter. My friend will post one thing, and someone else will make a negative, ignorant comment towards them. This person used to be your friend, one of your best friends at that. Do people not even have the decency to leave things alone? I guess not.

Sunrise
Well, its been quite a while since I have written anything, so Im going to try and get a lot off my chest.
I have a new sense of maturity, like I realize now that I have to start getting things done so that I can progress in life and ensure that I have a good future.
Every year of high school I have had numerous chances and opportunities. I basically wasted all of them by skipping class or sleeping, basically just slacking off. Every year my parents harassed me, and it makes me feel shitty because (not to sound cocky at all), I know Im really intelligent. I could be getting staight A's, a 4.0 grade point average, yet I was always lazy and never really realized at how important school was. Now that has all changed.
Last year I was kicked out of my school for not having enough credits to go to MATC. You see, at my old high school, instead of going to your senior year to take part in regular classes, you go to MATC to take college level classes so that when you graduate you get college credit, as well as your high school diploma. I didn't actually fail, I just didn't qualify to go to MATC, so they gave me the boot.
My parents were obviously furious that I threw away such an amazing opportunity, so they decided that they were going to pick the next school that I went to. They decided on Bay View High, which is close to my house, in the beautiful Bay View area. However the population of the school consists of over 85% black people. Obviously, I won't be making too many new friends.
Im really greatful for this actually, because now I actually do my work and Im getting everything done to the best of my ability, which is nearly perfect. I've also decided finally after much debate what I would like to go to college for. I have always tried to make one of my hobbies a future job. Skateboarding, drawing, acting and music. I never have had the discipline to stick with any of these things though. I have always been happiest when Im writing.
Writing for me is the easiest subject in school and its something Im really good at, not to mention I love to write and just spew my thoughts. Im very opinionated and very creative so this is the perfect median for me to express myself, plus make a good living. I plan on attending college as a journalism major, later to hopefully become a writer for a magazine or website. I may even try to find a job in entertainment, writing for television or movies.
I guess Im just really happy that things are falling in place for me, as well as the majority of my friends. A few people I know seem to be stuck, not going to college or finding a better job. For a while I really thought I would end up like that, but now I see my future much brighter and clearer. I actually have something to work towards.
I've been busy as a bee, but the sense that Im working hard and that its going to pay off is outstanding. Theres no better feeling.

Rambling
So for the entire time span that I have liked Owl City, there has never been a Wikipedia page for him. I always would search for him but I never had any results. Ever since Ocean Eyes came out he has gotten much more popular, where basically everyone knows who he is, but of course barely any of the people who have heard of him know any of his songs, besides the singles. It doesn't make me as annoyed as It used to, mainly because Im happy because hes becoming successful for himself. His music has really made me a much more positive and optimistic person. I decided a while ago that I wanted to get a tattoo, but I couldn't decide what I want until recently when I had an amazing idea. Its going to be on my forearm, opposite of my elbow. Its going to be a skyline with an owl in flight in front of the skyscrapers. Im ecstatic about this idea, and would really like someone to sketch it up for me.
Even though I have this tattoo and a few others in mind that I really want, its going to be a while before I can get them. Everyone has always told me that the last year of waiting to be 18 goes by fast. I've never really been excited about being 18, like it was never that big of a thing until now. I've just been thinking about how much everything is going to change for everyone. I know that Steve and Jorden will be there, but Im not sure who else. Everyone has different paths planned out depending on their talents and skills. Thats another thing that makes me worried, the fact that I can't decide what to do with my life. I used to have so many ideas and thoughts but I feel like I gave up with everything too early. A lot of people don't realize that I used to want to be an actor, an artist and a guitar player. I was actually going somewhere with acting and art but I just kind of gave up and I hate it. How come every time I have something going for me I get scared and give up?

Rational Thinking
So its been about a month since I have actually written anything. Once again, I wanted to write more but I was so busy with life that I couldn't really find any time, either that or I wasn't in the mood. Lets catch up, shall we?
I finally finished summer school, passed with an A and a B. Im getting my motivation back and I can see me doing well this year. Im not stressing about school starting, although no one really is. I have been sleeping over a lot at peoples houses and enjoying the occasional party, with more happening than usual.
A lot of changes have been happening though with my friends. They aren't necessarily BAD changes, but they aren't the best. I have been hanging out with different people than I usually do a lot latlely and I like it a lot. Steve and Jorden are still my main men and I love them, but I feel distant from other people like Mack and Sammy. I dont know why Mack and I haven't been speaking and I already bitch to Sammy countless times that he needs to remember that Alex isn't his only friend. Altogether, I have who I need and I am quite satisfied with the adventures that lie ahead.

If My Heart Was A House, Then You Would Be Home
Despite it really being almost halfway over, Its finally starting to feel like summer.
The care free days are starting and summer school will be over soon. All of my friends are on tour, but they come back tomorrow. I couldnt be more excited to see them all again and share stories, as well as listen to their's from the road. Even though they have been gone, I love that I am spending so much time with Jorden. His friends Nick and Anna are a lot cooler than I thought and I really want to get to know them a lot better. Im also re-kindling my friendship with Chelsea Kaiser and other people such as Linda. Harrison is awesome as well :]
I drove to Madison yesterday to see a metal show, which consisted of August Burns Red, iwrestledabearonce, Enter Shakiri and Bless The Fall. I saw Bless The Fall onced before, and I wasnt too impressed by them. Hearing Enter Shakiri for the first time was amazng, they are so good. Of course, August Burns Red and iwrestledabearonce were amazing and it felt good to be listening to metal again. I even threw down a little bit. On the way there, we met two kids named Tatum and Harry who were really cool.
Speaking of music, I have fallen even more in love with Owl City. Their new album Ocean Eyes along with a music video came out a few days ago. The synth lines and melodies make me want to float away, in search of a girl that matches the lyrics. Yes, still single. Still lonely... But I ramin hopeful and optimistic as always, because that is quite possibly the best way to live life in my opinion. Live in the moment, and stay positive.
I also started talking to Janet a lot through texting and myspace and today we actually sat and talked. I wish I would have gotten to know her better sooner. We have so much in common and get along so well. Shes positive and actually listens, and I feel like I can help her with her problems. Im always happy to have great new friends like that.

Living The Dream 8)
I <3 music more than anything on this planet. I really wanna learn how to play synth and get good at using programs. I have always loved metal and rock music, but Im listening to so much electronic music and mainly pop punk bands that use synth (FTSK, Motion City Soundtrack). It is seriously becoming my favorite type of music, especially considering how much I love Owl City. I have a lot of ideas in my head, its just I have no way to write them musically because I haven't learned that skill yet. Im hoping by next summer everything falls into place with what I want.
Ive been running a lot lately and actually eating a little bit healthier than usual.Im back to weighing less than 200 pounds again, which makes me happy. Im ok with going to Bay View despite how alone I will be, because I will be running cross country with MHSA, which many of my close friends are on. Im excited to become healthy!
Another amazing thing happened mainly today. Saved By Stereo went out of state for the first time, and I got to go along. Im supposed to go for the whole tour, but I have summer school. I had a lot of fun and I think they all really like how I do eveything. The setuip today looked really badass, we sold $100 worth of merch, made some friends and of course, the show was amazing. Probably on e of the best sounding shows they have done (except the vocals could have been a teency bit louder). Mack also did good, despite how bad he thinks he did.
I cant wait until August when summer school is over so I can go on their second tour.

Bring In The Tides
Summer school is about half way done, and I couldn't be happier. Despite the fact that I need to wake up everyday early for it and miss out on certain things ( like go on tour with SBS), I gotta say Im pretty proud of myself. I always knew I could do good, I was just in a small lazy rut that I couldn't get out of. But none the less, Im doing great and Im happy. I dont even mind going to Bay View next year. I think Im going to join their cross country team, thats someting that I have always wanted to do.
Speaking of which, I really want to start running. It would help me get prepared for it and I would be a lot healthier/skinnier.
I like how much I have been seeing my friends this summer. I feel like Im getting really close with people that I have lost touch with, along with making tons of new friends and making the bonds of my current ones even stronger. The only thing that I wish would be better is that we all could party more and go to more far away places. Theres still two months of summer left, so we shall see.
In other news, I enjoy doing things on a whim, Ive always been this way. So saying yes to a girl I barely know asking me out seemed logical in my opinion. Why not? Its summer.
More tomorrow, Im sleepy.
P.S. I think it would be cool to make a long blog about all the people I care about. I will be doing that soon.
