No not the Gregorian Calendar's new year, but the Roman Catholic Calendar's new year. With this new year comes a new blog. Call me a freak for celebrating this day, but in my life, I'll take a blessing whenever it comes, however it comes, wherever it comes. No more weather, I'll think of something though, don't you worry.




Many of you know this already, but I'm going to say it anyway. In India there has been a terrible terrorist attack. My condolences to the families of everyone lost in this terrible incident. Now to the title. It seems that goodness has left the world we all know. Is it just me or do people forget little signs of gratitude where ever you go. I don't know about where you're from, but I was raised to raise a hand when a car let you go by. I also was taught to hand write out thank you letters because it's more personal. I understand that the world moves at a faster pace, but maybe, and I know this is a far reach for some people, that's the problem. I was cleaning the house this morning and all my mom said was 'do this' and 'do that' and I stopped for a moment and thought, where was the 'thank you' I deserved. I don't get an allowance, I never have. So how much does it hurt for one tiny little 'thank you'? I don't know maybe it's just me


















It's been a while hasn't it. I do miss you. It's your birthday today, so happy birthday. I hope you are well. I'm sure you know that he's leaving again for the war. He'll be there for a year and a half, which isn't that long I suppose. Grandpa is doing fine, He starts his chemo soon. I'm sure you will be there with him every second, along with Grammy. Tell her I said hello; Grandpa J, too. You sure should see how I have grown in three years. Well until we meet again.




I'm finally doing it. I am going to go to guidance and get out of your f***ing class (sorry for the swearing but I'm really mad). Do you not realize that the subject we're talking about makes me feel uncomfortable? Did you forget that my town had a recent incident that might make me a little sore? Did you really think our class of morons (except a select few) could tackle such a topic maturely? Have you considered anything remotely compassionate to any of us? I don't think you have.



This blog has been donated to the Veterans of the United States of America, and their sacrifice, for the day. May we pray that we are on God's side of every war. To my 3 veteran uncles and my grandfather especially. GBA




Today we had Production Night. It's a big deal (not as much as the one after the musical) it brings us all closer together. It's funny sometimes I think wow how do these people know my name or anything else about me, but then I realize, we are truly just one big family. We fight, argue, hug, make up, talk things out, and just be ourselves. You wonder when do you meet people that care when you look depressed regardless if you truly are or not. Well I know when, and it's been sitting in front of me for a year and it took me this long to really realize it. The seniors are gonna go, then the juniors next year. When it finaly comes our turn, I want the underclassmen to say, "wow those seniors really brought us all together and I wouldn't have it any other way." Well I guess that's all i have to say until May (on this subject anyway).




The show went well this weekend. I've been busy lately, and my head hasn't been in the right spot for a while. I'm not sure why I just drift off and start to think about deep physiological stuff. There was a party last night. I didn't go. Not that I'm complaining, I know what happens at these parties and I chose to stay away (I use excuses that are usually only half true). There's another one this Friday. Should I go to this one, it's supposed to be 'clean' but you never really know. I will debate the issue for the next few days, leave a comment on it if you feel the urge. I need to do a lot of thinking.




All I want to say is thank God I'm not voting. First I think I prefer one candidate, then he (or she for those of you who think Hillary has a chance)(or she for those of you voting green) screws everything up so I pick the other candidate. Well I have made a decision as of this moment. Yes I am going to announce which party I plan on voting for (if I could vote). I choose the party of the Poke in the Eye. OK so the party does not exist, but it will soon. And I as its leader will run for president, then world lea... never mind. Oh P.S. the link Xtina has become an invite only blog for the time being so fair warning if you try to access it.




At this moment I'm having a 'flash-forward" if you could call it that. I'm seeing/dreaming of the future Kevin. I see myself in an apartment with a glass of wine, watching a movie. It is almost always raining. The location changes. Sometimes I'm in a NYC apartment, others I'm in Paris or Dublin or Venice or Syracusa. The point is the life I see isn't what I want, or is it? I'm really not sure.




First post with my new laptop. I'm so excited that all my files transferred over! Plus, my grandfather comes home today from rehab. I feel the stress melting away with all my worries and care.
