    <content type="html">I am finally done Highschool in all its horrid shittiness. &lt;br /&gt;Looking back I don't feel kinship with anyone in my class.&lt;br /&gt;And it wasn't the best four years of my life.&lt;br /&gt;It was a shitty trivial place and in my memory that is what it will stay. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I just want to thank all my teachers for being rad.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Expecially Cirelli and all the art teachers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Don't act like my friend because we graduated the same year, you don't know me or ever tried while we were there.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm not having a party for it. So don't ask.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My mood has digressed into a big slump. I feel like I don't know or desire to hang out with anyone besides a select handful of people. You know who you are.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Last night I went for a night walk with Moni at like 1 in the morning. Everything is so quite and clear, I feel my happiest then I think. When it comes to being alone. I really enjoyed walking over to her house, its like half a mile but the moon was full. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I liked how everything was the same hue. I am glad I got to see Moni too my family has been shity to me and she is a great person to be around.  We just laid and looked at the stars and it was so nice. I am going to do it everynight, well aslong as its not rainy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We went to manchester today to film a video. It was fun, I showed her around NHIA. I am going to live in my studio space there. Everyone is so awesome.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dave and I are going to try to go to Europe next year its going to be great. I really think he is my favorite person in merimack besides Moni. If I was just stranded on an island with them I would be the happiest guy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Go Mordecai show was tonight and I really enjoyed it, I really like seeing them and there crazy antics it reminded me of last year alot. It was good to see everyone again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;like 4 people in my family are dying yes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When happiness comes around sorrow likes to make a fight.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;maybe ill let it win for a bit. even though I have everyone I need in my hands I still feel really alone.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;well enough being cliche I am going for another night walk.</content>

    <content type="html">This weekend has gone great eventfully and socially. Three field trips in one week is so amazing. Tuesday was the JFK memorial museum and that was really fun. It made me want to be in the 60's. We watched Remember the Titans and I thought it was going to be lame, but I really ended up enjoying it alot, and it worked well as a segway to the JFK. Quincy market was nice. I got delicous falafel. I sat and looked at all the people passing me by and felt quite French, I noticed alot of subelties in my surroundings, very small things, this made me happy, just sitting watching. I wish I had a camera though, or paper, paint, any medium, even a pencil and paper to write with. I wanted to express that humble feeling.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thursday was poetry day. That was fun... I felt like a poet. The poet that read was an escapist and seem to not like to deal with reality which really bugged me. Like I am a romantic but still know that I have to deal with the world. Thursday night was nice I went to see Guys and Dolls and it was really good. Everyone did a great job. I got to see Caroyln and that was really nice.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Friday was the best day of the week. This was the trip to the Museum of Fine arts. The museum itself was so fun, I wish we had more time to go around and explore. I met alot of awesome people, Merecedes for one who its super rad. I think she is up there on my most favorite people ever lists hahaha. We went to quincy market again. I had yummy delicous falfel again mmm, and not to go unprepared I brought a camera and art supplies, I took alot of pictures. I got to see an awesome street performer. the trip home was nice I fell asleep on Caitlyns lap ( I hope thats the right spelling) it lent well to falling asleep I curled my self in a small ball and that was the end of it and I was gone.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Skipping saturday due to already talking about it Sunday I did nothing but lost my glassed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tonight was nice, I started a new painting of a sunrise. I called Monica and was glad to talk to her again. We actually got to talk on the phone for like 4 hours and it was just nice to catch up and not have her be stressed about school or anything it made my night. She is going to brazil soon which is really exciting, I am just gonna miss her, but brazil is so exciting. Next summer I want to go to Paris.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well time to sleep though I still have a paper to write dammit.</content>

    <content type="html">I decided I am going to stay a romanticand forget all this realism crap. I want to believe in love and truth and dreams. If I give up and except the norm then I might loose so many chances. I am going to write more, to paint more, to make music more, to read more, to interact with people more, to live more. Yes! No more realism crap. The world is a good place, I just have to look at it from a different perspective. I veiw from a gutter is going to be just that a view from a gutter, the same thing can be totally different if viewed from a different position. There is love out there, and passion beyond the death the hate the malice... there is good.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Laugh at me cause you think I am crazy,  but maybe its me who's got it right.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thank goodness for The Dead Poet Society &amp;lt;3</content>

    <content type="html">This weekend on a whole was pretty shitty. Saturday I found out my Grandmother is dying. Then I spent the day moving logs again for about 4 hours, then I set up the back 'oasis thing'. Then I set up the fucking pool which is a bitch to open. Stressed and dishearted I atleast ended the day on a good note and shared a drink with Dad.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sunday I had to go up to the Hospital in Laconia and saw my grandmother in the elderly unit care station. Walking through that place was sickening. It was all these old elderly people asleep attached to all these machines running through there bodies, I wanted to vomit it was so saddening, I would never let that happen to me, I rather die in my house.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; My grandmother seemed to be doing well, it was so sad though, her mind works fine but her body doesn't move besides her head and arms and I am so devistated, she is the most wonderful women in the world. More of a mother than me real mother.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yea mother's day, my mom was bitchy and argumentitive all day... atleast I won't have to deal with her in college.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I just need to hang out with friends, if your free give me a call... I need an escape.</content>

    <content type="html">I had to write an essay for my Hood composition placement test, and I wrote about what my personal memoir paper would say on page 238.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;this is the rough draft and I dont feel like fixing the smaller errors that you might see cause I already did that on the final one for the test...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I discovered life is meaningless today, but I am not sad about it. I woke up and looked at my clock, I listened to the alarm buzz loud in my ear, and annoyed I clicked it off. I picked up the remote and pressed to see the comfortable familiar glow of a TV screen. I guess American society brainwashed me well. The tube told me the first words of the day, “ A six year old child was murdered today.” If there were bad ways to start of a day, hearing that would be at the top of the list.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The average person would most likely listen to this, sigh with disappointment, and flick the channel to something more pleasing, maybe a cartoon, or the Food Channel. Not me though, I clicked the TV off and unplugged it. ‘ I’m done with that’ I thought, no more news for me. With the thought of the sadness in the back of my mind I brushed my teeth, just like every morning; routine, which is what life is really, wake up, eat, do something constructive, eat, then sleep. It seems fairly trivial. Well no matter, I got to go to work.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I passed a guy walking his dog on the way. I began to think about the dog, he stays within the same 3 miles his whole life; he sleeps probably in the same room and eats at the same time. When his owner goes to work he sits and stares out the window waiting for him to come home. I shook my head, ‘ I should stop bumming myself out.’ But then I continued to think. It is like getting a song stuck in your head, you try so hard to think of something different but you can’t. Then I thought what about if he was wild?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;	What if he was wild? His existence would be no different. The dog would not achieve any greater meaning in his life. He would wake up, look for food, eat, sleep, look for food, sleep and maybe find a mate; this would make up his life. What’s the point of it, the dog goes nowhere in life, he doesn’t achieve anything, maybe he mates and the species further progresses, what’s the difference they will lead the same life. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;‘ I am just like the dog’ I said to myself. I wake up, eat, do my art, eat, and then sleep again. I achieve no more then the dog, there is nothing I am working for; I am living to die, just like the dog, and just like the child.  I bet that dog is happy though, and I bet that child was happy, hey, I am happy. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There may be no meaning to life, and there may be no God. When that child died, it didn’t prove anything but a child could die. It wasn’t God’s will, or part of the grand meaning of things; a person was mad and shot someone. Thinking this made me feel a bit better. I didn’t have to worry about the death of the child anymore; she lived her life; it ended. Then I looked in my rear view mirror at the man walking his dog. That dog is happy, his tongue is out and his tail is wagging. He is going to go home and sleep under his owner’s feet content. He will do the same thing tomorrow and the day after that till it dies. But till that point he will be happy. I am going to go to work then come home and kiss my wife on her forehead and tell her I love her, and then I am going to go to sleep. It doesn’t mean anything but it makes me happy.</content>

    <content type="html">Moni and I aren't dating anymore... or whatever we were... we just friends now.&lt;br /&gt;I don't think I have ever cried so hard in my entire life. I can't even sleep and it sucks so much.&lt;br /&gt;But i guess it is for the best cause it would be hard with the directions we are both going in.&lt;br /&gt;I hate fucking believing in love. Now I know why I used to stay away from it.&lt;br /&gt;I dont understand why crappy things of large magnitudes like to happen to me... and all at the same time too&lt;br /&gt;it sounds really trivial but  not dating her is so hard... what it was ment everything to me it inspired almost everything I do. like I dunno I think  I fell in love with her too hard when I should have thought more yet I didnt want to ever regret it... and though this sucks so much I dont regret anything at all and I never will ever. &lt;br /&gt;just I dont know how to deal with it right now...  I feel really really really lost I know I will get over it but like my chest feels so heavy and like I dont care about anything right now&lt;br /&gt;not art not music not college not school not my friends not anything.&lt;br /&gt;I know she is still is and going to be my best friend but it has been so long like how its been and I love it and her so so much. I just wanted things to work out... just this one time over anything in the world rather than a good music carreer or a good art carreer...shes like the most important thing to me... more than art and music and yea.... this is coming out wrong this isnt how I want this to be put across&lt;br /&gt;I dont want her out to sound like a bad person and I dont want to sound like a stupid high school kid... I cant explain it right it is difficult but like it was the truest thing to me... man this has to sound scary... moni if you read this sorry.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;she is just real and true and thats why shes awesome&lt;br /&gt;I guess I am just too much of a fucking hopeless romantic&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I just need someone to help me out right now... cause on top of that my mom is still sick and doing worse and dads getting fed up with her antics so mom my be leaving the house in acouple months.. then My sisters knee is worse then the doctor though so she is going to be operated on and out of commision for awhile so I have to take care of both of them plus my dad is gone for acouple weeks on business...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Its getting to be too much to handle and I dont know where to escape right now.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Man it sounds like the world ended and I sound pathetic...why does this bother me so much... I hate how passionate I am.</content>

    <content type="html">The army called me today they are some persistent bastards. He kept me on the phone for an hour. I was like, "hey I am going to college and I got my life in order I don't want to do the army."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But he insisted oh thats alright, but did you know blah, blah, blah. &lt;br /&gt;Then I told him I wasn't patriotic, and he got quite then started to laugh. He's like neither are alot of them but they end up being the best. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then I told him I hated Bush and that I wouldn't make a good soldier if I despised who was above me and that I would not want to do anything that I was ordered if I didn't agree with it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then he started to get buddy buddy and was like so you like art, you want to be a teacher, we got a good program. Still I was like nope I am all set.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I told him thank you for his time and that I didn't care about the army and I was sorry and hung up.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;sigh.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I finished most of my research paper, the hardest part I think is starting it. Once you start it things get alot easier.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am in the process of cleaning my room, again, lets see how long this takes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am sort of agrivated by people right now.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm going to go read some Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich.</content>
