Summer Nights and Baby Rabbits

August begins very soon.
In August I will end my class, I will show my film, I will register for my senior year, I will go to Great America, I will say good-bye to my college friends, I will see Anathallo, I will begin my final year of highschool. This school year I will lift weights, I will explore art in a deeper way, I will turn 18, I will get into Columbia College in Chicago, I will get a roommate, I will take 3 AP tests, I will take close to no finals, I will hang out with my few good friends from school, and I will graduate.

But it is not yet August, and it is not yet the school year.

I cherish these summer nights where we just hang out and be with each other and know that no matter how different TSM becomes from when we first loved it, we still have each other. Even though things have changed and that doesnt feel so nice, it does feel good to know that we are growing up and are on the verge of life...real life.

I miss trevor and alex as they are away in England...and I'm gonna miss t-bone even more when he heads back to school later this week or next. I also hate thinking about the fact that Alex and I are going to be in different places when college rolls around and how much I'm gonna miss that kid. I guess life is like that though...we move on. I plan to visit trevor and curtis at school sometime this year. it feels like high school isnt even anything anymore, just something standing between me and college.

Well I will leave you with these lyrics by Good Charlotte...yes I know "Boo Good Charlotte" but I like this song.

When I think about my life
I wonder if I will survive
To live to see 25
Or will I just fall?
Like all my friends
They just keep dying
People round me
Always crying
In this place that I like to
Call my home
But not everybody knows
That everybody goes
To a better place
And not everybody knows
That everybody could be living their last days
But the hard times will come
and we'll keep movin' on
We're moving on
Keep movin' on
Life!
Hope!
Truth!
Trust!
Faith!
Pride!
Love!
Lust!
On without the things we've lost
The things we gained
We'll take with us
And all I've got
Are these two hands
To make myself
A better man, I
Wonder if I'll ever see the end of this
With all this rain
It just keeps falling
On my head
And now I'm calling
Out to someone else
To help me make it through
But not everybody knows
That everybody goes
To a better place
And not everybody knows
That everybody could be living their last days
But the hard times will come
and we'll keep movin' on
We're moving on
Keep movin' on
Life!
Hope!
Truth!
Trust!
Faith!
Pride!
Love!
Lust!
Pain!
Hate!
Lies!
Guilt!
Laugh!
Cry!
Live!
Die!
Some friends become enemies
Some friends become your family
Make the best with what your given
This ain't dying!
This is living!
Said we're movin' on
And we got nothing to prove to anyone
Cuz we'll get through
We're movin' on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and
Keep movin' on!
Life!
Hope!
Truth!
Trust!
Faith!
Pride!
Love!
Lust!
Pain!
Hate!
Lies!
Guilt!
Laugh!
Cry!
Live!
Die!
Some friends become enemies
Some friends become your family
Make the best with what your given
This ain't dying
This is living!!!
