It's been two years since I started this thing.  Reading back over the earlier posts, I now realize how puerile and just damn boring these old entries were.  At the same time, they give me a little bit of a window into what I was thinking at the time, and how people (mostly me, but others) have changed since that time.  Even the fact that I am typing on a xanga feels like I'm exploring the past, since it's kind of a ghost town.  It feels a lot like walking into a local restaurant that you never see anyone go into and ordering food, knowing that the place will be gone within the next few months.  Like updating this xanga, it's more or less a futile gesture, but it feels like it must be done.

Currently I am bored by gallery 37, frustrated by merit, and uneasy about college.  i am also bored, frustrated and uneasy in general.

So i'm gonna have to deal with a double barrel blast of afro american anger as soon as i walk in the door every day.  should be fun.  or possibly excruciating.  we shall see.

Oh shit son, I'm posting.

Sooo lollapalooza was pretty rad.  I got a recycled bracelet for half price from some illegal african american and i was on my way.  The things that were good were the violent femmes, the go! team, the dresden dolls, and the flaming lips.  The things that were dissapointing were the shins and wilco.  The things that I never saw before that i saw there were the naked breasts of Amanda from the dresden dolls and a guy snorting coke from a rolled up 20 dollar bill.  so it was awesome.

My summer has been going good.  how bout yours's?

god damn.

the seniors have dissappeared before my eyes.

i didn't really think about it at all, but all of a sudden, many of my friends and acquaintances have been sucked off into the void of real life. 

god damn.

now theres no one left between me and the door.  it's not the prospect of real life that freaks me out, its the fact that an entire epoch of my life will have been sealed off for good.  since 2001, i've watched myself ascend from the lowliest ranks of this school to being a few days away from the very top.  and looking back, it hasn't even taken that long.

fuckin' seniors.  always becoming a metaphor for my mortality and shit. 

but unlike everything else, this really isnt about me.  elliot and karen, i think everybody's gonna miss you guys.  you were both super my homies, and really great people.  and elliot, when you were tearing up during the award thing at the concert, you cracked a man of stone.  i'll say no more.

I'd just like to also mention these seniors, in no real order, who made my year more good:

sam cole, christina w, lazeric, kyle, kaitlyn, nina, ang moreno, peter alvarez, beilin, jamie, ashley, david wong, michael davenport, sorce, and anyone else i might have missed. 

oh and a very special mention to jay collins.
