well... after the against me! show on friday i was invited to a little party, so i decided to go check it out. it was way out in parish and i didn't really know how to get there, so it took a little while, but eventually i found the right road, and at the end of it i saw some flashing lights. silly me, i thought they were just people signaling that the party was there, so i drove closer and closer... then all of a sudden, BAM! i realized that those weren't kid's lights, no, those were cops lights... the cops had apparently shown up not more than 10 or 15 minutes earlier, and kids were being escorted into the back seat of their cars... so... i just slowly drove away, pretending i was lost.... yep... so the next day i looked in the paper, and sure enough a party of over 100 kids in parish had been busted and about 15 kids had been arrested for either underage drinking or possession of marijuana. i talked to someone today about it and apparently no one made it out before the cops got there so... ya... a lot of kids got in trouble... including one of the waiters at my work's son, his mom had to go drive out there and pick him up at like 1:00 in the morning.. she wasn't very happy... twas all a big shame. |

80 dollars worth of gas, 4 packs of light cigarettes, and a countless number of cd's later, we find ourselves back in quaint little palmetto. charlotte and tera continue where they left off, and set out to a party, while clint attempts to get the smell of 80 cigarettes out of his dad's car... not to mention the other smell of something that was smoked. HURRAY CHARLOTTE'S FUCKING BACK! |

what's the point of having a live journal where you can write down everything to tell your friends you see every day anyways? isn't a journal supposed to be a place where you write all your inner most desires and secrets?? |

agh!! ok, last night after work i'm driving home, keeping the speed limit and minding my own businees. now, i pass a cop as i drive down 10th ave, and i get worried, just because it's a cop, and that's what i do when i see them. anyways, he passes and my feeling resides... but then i see him make a u-ee behind me, and then i get super freaked out. he followes me for a couple blocks and then flashes his little lights at me (FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK). you see, my entire back seat was filled with empty liquor boxes for me to give to my brother so he can have boxes to put shtuff in when he moves. i also wreak of old beer and smoke from work, and in my glove box i have 4 packs of cigarettes i just got for charlotte. you also have to keep in mind that i'm not supposed to drive past 11, and i'm not supposed to work past 11 either (child labor laws), let alone work behind a bar at 16. so i freaking out, and i pull over on the side of the road next to palmetto elementary... and i'm all... scared and stuff.... he shines that big spotlight right in my rearview mirror so i can only see his silllouhette coming at me after a few minutes of me being scared... he comes up to my window and says 'hi there sir, do you relize you have one headlight out and you don't have any rear lights?' and i say 'uh, no... i didn't, can i go check them?' and he said 'ya', so i slowly open my door and walk to the back of my car, indeed my rear lights are out, but my break light still works, (also earlier that night, my instrument pannel lights would come on, so that was also freaking me out if he noticed that too. anyways, so i walk back to the drivers seat and sit down. the copper asks for my license, insurance, and registration, and i give it to him... he sayd it'll just be a minute and walks back to his car. i look out my window and another cop pulls up (I'M FUCKING FREAKED OUT NOW) so i sit there... and wait... and wait... and wait.... and i swear like 10-15 minutes pass, and the cop comes back. he says he is letting me off with a warning and i can just throw it away if i want, but if he sees me again tommarow night or some other time then he'll give me a ticket. so... i cautiously start up my car and slowly drive home (he follows me the ENTIRE way)... and i'm going like 20 i swear, i am sooo freaked out... i get out of my car and go inside my home, then the cop drives away... IT WAS HORRIBLE!!!!! that had to be the most scared i have ever been.... ever.... i don't like cops. |

not to complain or anything, but wtf happened to msa. i mean really, it was never THAT great of a school, but it was a pretty sweet place in the beginning. the people were nice, we had some wierd teachers, everything was lax.... but now, now it's just all gone to hell. the people effing suck, we only have like 2 cool teachers left, and everyone is being fucking dresscode nazis (sorry to use that word out of context). i mean really, wtf happened? and for a while, i thought it was just me, and i would have to drag through the rest of the year alone in my thoughts, but i told ms. chick what i was tihnking, and she said that apparently a bunh of kids are feeling like that this year.... stupid stupid.. |

awww, school's starting.... i still need to do my project. but since i have this whole journal thing to complain in, i don't like the people at my school, i really don't... that's why i don't want to go there. welp... lets think of it this way, only two years left until college (HURRAY!!). i figure go the dorm life freshman year, see how that goes, if i don't like it i'll try to get an apartment or something... but still the decisions on which college.... i visited UF and Flagler yesterday and the day before and they were pretty cool. UF was just big and seemed like a pretty cool school... and Flagler... well geese, Flagler was just beautiful... i really don't tihnk i can explain its beauty in words, i really can't... and tuition is only twelve something a year including room and food... which isn't that bad... but i don't think they accept bright futures which puts a giant damper on the whole thing... hm... i'll work my ass off for scholorships then... only two more years left... two more years.... |

well.. i have decided that the waiters at my work are just freaking ass holes... big stinky ass holes.... (this is all going to be complaining) first off, they pretend to like me and say stuff like 'oh clint, you're one of the best bussers i've ever had, bladdy bladdy blah.. then they turn around and tip me out 1% like i would even notice... i mean wtf. really. it was the fourth of july, everyone was supposed to make money, not, everyone but the bussers make money. ok heres some math for you all. the resturaunt made over 10,000 dollars in food sales. the bussers (four of us) are supposed to get tipped out 3-4%, and from what management says, 3% on weekdays, and 4% on weekends and special events (the 4th of july was a special event). now, from what the waiters tell me, one of them pulled home 500 dollars in tips, another one 400 and another one 250. now there are 6 waiters. and they usually get tipped from the customers 15-20% (if they're doing their job right) which most of them were... ish.... now... for each of them to give us 25 dollars to split up between us bussers is damn crazy (especially because only four of them tipped out, leaving us bussers with 107 dollars to split up between us). now, that's 25 dollars per waiter, when they made at least, AT LEAST 250 in tips for themselves, leaving the bussers with 10% of their tips. that's just wrong. they're supposed to give us 4%, well i'll give them the easy way and say 3%, of total sales. so if that's true, then each waiter made about 830 dollars in total sales (i'm doing a lot of rounding down to give the waiters the benifit of the doubt). now, for them to take home over 250 dollars in tips for themselves means they got tipped out over 30 percent from every customer, and that is just NOT possible with our waiters. and if you add in the fact that if each of the six waiters were to only make 830 dollars, the resturaunt would have only made 4980 dollars instead of the reported 10,000 dollars that the manager told me we made... so... now tell me.... is that really fair? also, look at the total sales, 10,000 total, giving bussers 3%, leaves us with 300 dollars to split up instead of 100, giving each busser 75 dollars to take home (three times as much as each busser DID take home). and if they were to tip us out 4% like they were supposed to, that would have ended up with 400 dollars to split up between bussers, sending each one home with one hundred dollars....
now, this was all considering that the resturaunt made only 10,000 even and that the waiters are fucking pricks... i hate them all.... lucky for me, one just quit, and two more are leaving in a week (though sadly, one of which is the only cool waiter we have.... other than shelly... but she's special) |

success!!!! in the past two weeks, i have read two books... reading them has lead my mind to a wodnerful discovery about how i want to live the rest of my life. first, i don't want to waste my days away, not accomplishing anything of worth. secondly, that means that i need to do something with my time, not wasting away my life watching t.v., or playing useless games. third, one of the things that i could do to make my time used and feel accomplished and that the past 16 years of my life haven't been a waste, is that i could start learning.. not just at school and stuff, i want to learn more than i am recquired to. i mean, learning the basics is all good and fun, but when i look at the big picture, if i end up learning and knowing only what the rest of my peers know, what's the use? no one gets any farther than anyone else. if i learn about stuff... anything really... as long as it's knowledge. history, my bass, astronomy, psychology, law, women, the crusades, anything. just to have that knowledge would make me that much happier, i would know i learned something. my life wouldn't become a gaint waste of sperm. ... at least that's what i want to happen... though i doubt i will ever get up the stamina to keep it up. right now i'm all hyped up and stuff, so i'm going to go head off to do something usefull, but i bet in a week i will have forgotten all of this and gone on to twiddle my thumbs....
now , i shall tell you what made me think this way. the first book that i read, had a guy who relized his life was a complete waste, so every day he took home a rock to show a day of his soberity. soon he started taking more and more rocks home. then eventually he decided he had enough, so he took them to an empty lot and started building. he didn't know what he was building, and he didn't care. the point wasn't the finished project, it was the process. every day the structire grew and grew, this made the man happy, knowing that every day he did something that wouldn't amount to nothing. something was being built... it was really inspirational to me. it really was. anyways, that's why i had this sudden 'epiphany'. yep yep... |

well.. i must say that the last week was a lot better than i ever could have hoped. i mean, ya, we did end up going out door to door and such, and we didn't even do that very well and our block party was pretty much a flop. but for me the trip was so much more. for instance, i met 59 other awesome kids who i'm really sad i don't get to see anymore, along with another 12 adults who were.... well... some of which were pretty awesome. and ya the trip did really help with my whole spirituality and such. and i know the trip wasn't for me, it was for the community and the church, but i gained a lot from it anyways. but ya.... and just to share the tip of the iceberg with you all on some of the people that i've met... this one girl leah, who was just an amazing person to talk to and get to know, i probably would have tried to get closer and closer with her as friends if it weren't for us to be living on separate sides of the state. and not only was she one of the smartest girls i've ever talked to, she was also just drop dead beautiful. on the last night of cj, five of us (leah, chris, brye i think, and some others and i) were just out talking about stuff like abortion and politics. now if you know me, i get pretty into political conversations and will not drop the subject until me and my ways are seen and accepted. but i just couldn't argue with leah, i had to bite my fist and just live through it. but in all fairness, she was the smartest person/girl i have ever disagreed with on the subjects. she had good valid reasons for all her views and opinions, she respected my opinion, and she was battling against the other four kids there. i had sooo much respect for her... now back to the whole her being gorgeous, nice, and sweet, yet so unreachable... that was tough. the entire time we were there, the leaders kept saying "now, you know you aren't going to 'hook up' on this trip, this trip is for god, yada yada yada" well i'll tell you what. they chose the exactly wrong people to keep us focused and un-distracted from our mission... grrr, i thought about leah a lot more than i should. OH! and the worst part is, is that she is only 13.... agh. she has the maturity of an 18 year old... like a normal 18 year old.... it was tough. but anyways. it's good that we're just friends.
but back to celebrate jesus. it was fun, i feel like we did everything the church wanted us to do. we all feel like we could have done so much more if the church would have let us and planned it all out better, but they didn't so we just did what they had wanted us to do. there was also an unusual amount of drama there, which kinda weirded me out in a way, but it just all faded away as soon as everyone left. oh, and when zack and i first walked into the sanctuary for th opening ceremonies, both of us were just slammed by images of the movie 'saved'.... it was kinda creepy and weird to have to go to someplace like that. zack and i had many disagreements with the things that were being said and they way that we were doing things, but we kept most of our opinions in letters to charles or john. i could go on for pages about this, but i think i'm just going to stop here. ok. whelp, it was fun. |
