So today was a big day....I had surgery this morning, which went without incident. I got released from the hospital at about 1:00 pm, and have done alot of laying around this afternoon. I'm weak right now, but I can at least walk short distances on my own with only nothing more than managable pain. Not really in too much pain otherwise, and feel that I am doing well! Diana came over a couple hours after I got home (when she got off school) which was the highlight of my day. :) I cant really complain....I dont have much pain, and everything went with pristine perfection. Just need a couple days to bounce back! I love you all! Thinking of you!

Soo yea, last week was a long week, stressful, etc....this weekend=no massive amounts of HW for once. Work is frustrating, didnt work this weekend, instead I did yard work, for both us and a little for the neighbors (but I got paid so yay!) and then today (sunday) I had play practice 12:30 til 5. That would be the main reason I am writing this update. This year Princeton High School's best (myself and Taylor included)will be preforming Shakespeares Scottish Play!!! Taylor as the Scottsman himself, and myself as Lennox. It is this Friday, Saturday, and Sunday (7:30, 7:30, and 2:30 respectively)and I hope to see all of you there!!!! If you need to get directions, the address is
Princeton High School
11080 Chester Road
Cincinnati, OH 45246
Tis now dinner time!
Peace! |

Once again, a large amount of time has passed since my last update...Im sure this comes as no surprise.
Been alot going on lately, Ive been busy with several concerts, and friday nights are still plagued by marching band here for another couple of weeks, 'twil be nice when thats over. Ive not been getting home until 530 most nights because of Rehershals for the scottish play at school. Also I have decided mainly for financial reasons against doing groundlings (yet again). Last weekend was homecoming, which was quite possibly the best night of my life thus far, I mean despite the dj, decorations etc being lame I still had a great time just dancing, and spending an evening out with my wonderful girl friend (not too long ago, we had our 4 mos! but God it seems like so much longer!)Today being Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday I have in-car drivers ed (finally)(I miss rehershal). School has been an incredible amount of work this year, but overall I cant complain too much...The Jazz Ensemble is bitchin hot this year! Its a good time, and ironically last year I was on the verge of quitting, so Im really glad now that I didnt, but also at the same time, my other classes are really hard, and in some areas Im kind of regretting taking IB which to those of you who are unfamiliar is like a slightly advanced version of AP :-s...so yea...Suppose I should let you all know (that dont already) that I will be having surgery on the 18th of November, nothing big, just a 45 min outpatient hernia operation, but yea...! Life has been really busy and tiring as of late, I just need a damn day off! Looking forward to seein ya'll (in all of my spare time) that I dont get to very much, you know who you are, and btw, Alice, I saw your Homecoming pic on the photographers website, I like your dress!!!....and To Katie Suffren congrats on your preformance in Our Town, though I didnt get to see it :-( / :-)!!! Peace Out All! |

So band camp started this week (Monday) Though it hasn't really been as bad as I had remembered it from the past two years. It's still a pain in the ass though if nothing else. Im still learning how to play my new instrument (Baritone) for marching band bleh...
On three hours of sleep right now, spent the night at Taylor's last night, and got up at 7 to leave :(. But I have to say that It was well worth it.
Been spending a large amount of time with my girl friend, Diana. Her sister just had a baby about a week ago :) (shes 24 or so)
Still looking for a job, procrastinating on my summer homework, and just being me, all of which have become frustrating as of late....nothing big, just life never makes sense yanno? And everything is being a bitch, and Besides my wonderful relationship, and a couple friends, life basically sucks. rrr...anyway enough of that...
Ive been writing a little again lately...(poetry) but eh, its still not really that good, and yea...but it occupies time and I guess I more or less enjoy writing it so yea....
Enough of this rant...
Went to this restaurant a couple days ago for lunch (on band camp break) and it was really a pretty awesome place. Its this hole in the wall place, its called mongolian barbeque, but i forget the asia name for it thats on the sign lol. It was quite the interesting little place...and I really have no Idea why I mentioned this.

So this week has been pretty boring. But I guess thats a good thing because starting next week I'm going to become so busy that theres a good chance I might forget its summer. Come to think of it its actually been nice having a few weeks where I really didn't have to do anything at all. Next week is camp! Have waited for this ever since this time last year :-). Almost immediately after that I leave for my dads for 3 weeks, in South Carolina, which I was really looking forward to before, but now it has become more shall I say bittersweet; although I must say Im still looking forward to it. I havent even looked at my summer reading homework, to any major extent as of yet which promises to be a pain in the ass; and theres so damn much of it that I can't procrastinate this year, though I know I will anyway. St. Gabes festival was this past weekend, and once again I missed the night that the good bands played (no one popular, just heard they were decent)(though I must say it was well worth missing it ;-)) anyway that seems to be the story of my life as of late, missing the big shows, or not being "there" in one aspect or another for just about any given event due to something or another.
Yep I'm starting to ramble on and on about nothing so I'll shut up now! Peaces! |

So I haven't updated in a few months!
Things have been going pretty good lately.
I got exempted from all my exams due to the schools new policy, and thus got outa school more or less a week early.
Yesterday I got to see my dad which was awesome, and the rain let up for just long enough for the sky to be clear so we could go to the Red's game, which was disappointing as usual, however It was still amusing because there were these die hard Orioles fans behind us who were acting like they were drunk even before they truely were and were loud and otherwise obnoxious.
I now have a girlfriend, which has made me extremely happy as of late...
I cannot wait for camp to begin. Its hard to believe that this will be my last year of camp!!!! Hopefully Ill be able to do groundlings next year etc :-). On that note, I feel I owe all you who performed in "As You Like It" and apology, for not coming.(another for some of you)
The weather has been entirely too hot lately though, especially seeing as how Im more of a cold weather type of guy, but hey, I guess I cant complain, I dont have to go to school! The rain was nice yesterday as well, I love storms, and just the whole concept of rain period.
I have been writing some as of late (in the poetry department) Its not really that good, but if you are so inclined to check it out the website is, www.allpoetry.com/poets/seriea89, if you go, tell me what you think either on IM or leave a comment in my LJ, even if you think its trash, which it prolly is!
Anyway, Im finished now and cant think of anything else to say so I shall see most of you who are reading this in a couple weeks.
To others, Cya whenever! |

Spring Break has been great this year. I haven't really done anything extraordinary, and to be perfectly honest I really haven't done much of anything at all; and it feels great. I have completely wasted a week of my life and i could not be happier.
Last night I went to go see Much Ado About Nothing with Taylor.(I haven't been to the CSF theatre in years (since my dad left town)) It was quite possilby one of the best plays I have ever seen, and definately the best interpretation of Much Ado. It was hilarious, and I got to talk with Sly breifly in passing during intermission, although I dont know if he recognized me (its been almost 3 years) I bought tickets last minute and got the last two!!! So we went in and sat down, and this old couple (Im guessing from GE since it was GE night comes up and we discover that we (me and taylor and them) have duplicate tickets. It turns out that we got stage seats, so naturally we had some of the best seats in the house. Great times Great times, and would be more than willing to go see it again ;) :p!
Well I'm off now to go to some stupid four hour class so I can get re-certified/promoted to state level SAY soccer referee, and I'm now the co-coordinator of all referees in Glendale now :0 :).
I'm out |

Whoa its a mircale, Dan updated twice within the period of two weeks.
Got my card in the mail the other day informing me of the tryouts for CSF camp, which brought back lots of good memories.
My grandpa on my Dad's side early Saturday morning, which is upsetting for a couple reasons, my other grandma just die a week or so ago, and my grandpa didnt have to die, it was malpractice, multiple times after he had open heart surgery in late December, and he got an infection in his heart because of it...
My jazz ensemble instructor in his infinate wisdom has scheduled a concert for a bunch of old people at the sycamore senior center on VALENTINES day, which is incredibly irritating seeing as how its the first year that I've really had any one to celebrate it with....
I don't have much new to say, especially on the positive end of the spectrum,
Back soon (if i remember) |

Hey
I've neglected my journal for the past 7 months or so, so I thought that I'd update.
This week has been very eventful, mostly bad ways. (Why is it that the only times I remember to update are the negative times???) (I need to work on that)
Anyway, Thursday was especially bad because me and my girlfriend broke up and later on that evening my grandmother died. In a way i guess that the latter is sort of a relief because she has been failing for months due to brain cancer and it has been a hard road. Nick and some of my other friends are all being incredibly frustrating and frustrated right now, due to Nick's online girlfriend, which has also made things hard over the last week or so. To me both sides are being unreasonable however, I'm trying to stay outta that as much as possible which is getting harder and harder.
School scheduling starts soon for next year, which is also going to be tough because I have a couple major decisions to make and, I have no idea what to do. I hate my school, it has screwed me out of so much in the last two years that it's ridiculous. However I suppose thats life. The only classes that I can enjoy with out getting in trouble are probably sign language and history.
Time has flown by this year, and it seems as if I have been busy and have used every minute while when I look back on the (school) year thus far I have done essentially nothing and have even less to show for my time, so I really have no idea where it has all gone to. I can't help but look back on what I have and havent done and be disappointed, however I just cant seem to find motivation this year to do anything at all. I don't know, I'm just a messed up little person :-p.
Looking forward to talkin to ya CSF people and hopefully seeing ya'll soon.
Peace
Nate |

Hey all,
Dont reallyyy know what to say, just havent updated in a while, (mostly cause i have nuthin to say!)
Band camp continues to be a sucky frustrating mess
The only thing that could be worse would to have already started school lol (most who will read this have already) lol
Anyway other than bandcamp i havent done much 'cept sit and sleep, seeing as how most of my friends are tied off from the outside world till summer hw is done.
Any way ttyl lyl all |

Yes yet another csf reunion goes by without my attendance, for one reason or another. Ride issues, restricing parents, all of which can be blamed on yes, you guessed it, suburbia.
Me and Nick came up with an idea to make it so that we might be able to meet up with csf buddies again. We decided that we shoudl pick a day sometime and all meet at PKI (Kings Island). We could spend the day there, and if peoples schedules dont fit exactly they can come and go as it pleases them.
Still not sure if I'm gonna do groundlings. Gotta choke up da money, gotta take time to memorize stuff and audition and thats time that is hard to come by, with summer homework, bandcamp starting next week and all. As much as id really like too im still not convinced that its a realistic goal and dont want to get too excited over nothing.
My life other than this stuff is boring as ever. Summer homework that is takin incredibly too long to do and not much else.
Missin everybody

hey everybody,
ive kinda ignored my lj ever since i got it lol (mostly cause im boring)
Anyway today is the last day of my vacation to South Carolina visitng my dad. It has been a great time, the city he lives in is most awesome. Its called Aiken and is about 3 1/2-4 hours from myrtle beach or 1 hour from columbia (the capital).
What have i done while i was down here.... well lets see saturday, sunday and monday, hung out at the pool and sat around the house getting aquainted with new surroundings lol (this is the first time ive ever been to the state and to his new house) tues and wednesday were quite possibly the most awesome of all. I went horseback riding (great fun).That went well and i didnt even get thrown off. then wednesday around noon we left (driving) to go to litchfield (15-20 min from myrtle beach in the quieter more civilized less commercial area which i much prefer) We stayed there fro a few days and as i write this i have just gotten back. The beach was awesome, and that pretty much sums what i did there.
Tomorrow i leave on a flight back to cincy! Much to my both happiness and dismay. I wont see my dad again for a while but it will be good to be back home.
Hmm dont have much else to say, leave an interesting comment lol! |

Be forwarned while writing this i am tired and pissed off and most of this stems from frustration with stupid ppl.
Most of you who read this will not know the person i am talking about but its the thought that counts right?
There are some people in life that are just complete losers and the thing is is that they dont realize it. You know the people who try incredibly too hard to be cool, or the people who who are stuck up beyond belief. Happens to be the standard of many people in the suburbs where i live.
Anyway, theres this one kid. Classic story, used to be best friends till 7-8th grade. We thought we were bad ass and no one really cared. Then he decided that he was too good for me or sumthin and our friendship has deteriorated ever since. (fortunately he is moving after next school year) Any way allot of the the shit he says about me he says behind my back and i find out from one of my true friends later, who are a bit more friendly with him than I. (I hate it when ppl do that) He thinks he is the greatest but he really just sucks at life. The kid is obsessed with scams plots and hoaxes, and money. His parents have no financial worries, and also think that their son is a perfect little angel. He tries to be things that hes not. He is not afraid to speak what is on his mind no matter how controversial or what it is (this is one thing for which i complement him) However his views often contradict one another and also, can be at times almost racist, or biased toward cetain groups of ppl. Often since my other friends are more friendly toward him we often see each other at get togethers and what not. The other night i said something that was yea kinda stupid, but anyone that knows me should be used to that. His comment was "Nate i can just see you failing miserably in the corporate world". For one i have no intention to join corporate or big buisness as an adult, which he happens to think as failure because we all know that big buisness rules everything and entails every aspect of the job market except janitorial and trash collecting right? Secondly the kid gets awful grades and will probably be arrested and or killed before he is 40, not to mention make it through college without riding his parents income throught so to speak. because he beleives that having honor doesnt matter and that there is no reason to give to others. He also does many little things and then plays them off way too far or just returns to the fact that it happened time and time again whilst denying it even though it was obviously him and everyone else has moved on hours even days ago. He descriminates gays and those who cant speak what he calls standard american english, which if you ask me doesnt exist. He seems to define a perfect race much as hitler did.
I fucking cannot stand ignorant twats such as himself
Anyway im done going on and on about nothing, hope everyone is having a good day! I have to go read my book for school (summer hw ughhh) any way talk to you all later lyl
