Long Time, No See August 23, 2004
Wow.....I havent updated in a loooonnnggg ass time. I wanted my next post to be a link to where all my Europe pics are...but I havent really gotten around to uploading them to my PC. I havent really done anything lately except go to our other house in VA for a couple days with the fam and finished up my summer reading. Oh yeah...I started Cross Country and lets just say that hasnt been pretty. Im really out of shape but I can tell that Im getting better as each practice goes by. Before my body ached sooooo bad after the first practice but now I just take a lil nap when I get home and Im fine. I can say one thing though..By the time the season is over, Im def. gonna be a lot stronger because those work outs are HARD. We had to run up Shelia today..(thats this big hill on our campus..dont ask my why its name is Shelia) and she..i mean its no joke. We had to do 5 repetitions and when we finished I couldnt stop throwing up gatorade...it was really painful cuz my stomach was basically empty except for the gatorade...Ne wayz..I kno you guys are prolly saying..HOLY COW..WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH THIS KID...but I think I might actually stick with it.. On Wednesday I have to go to this New Student Day or somethin but Im not sure because I think I have practice at the same time....stupid coach should have known that...most likely I'll go to the new student thing...My school is awesome.....I thought the kids were gonna be all rich and preppy....i dunno about the rich part because Im sure alot of them are..but the kids I've met so far are pretty cool.. Well Im gonna go and work on Kaylas website ^_^  Life in Europe July 21, 2004
Even tho I've still got jetlag like a bitch..I will attempt to tell you about the past 2 weeks of my life. We drove to Dulles Airport on July 4th to leave for Europe. Like usual my mom was freaking out, but this time she had went over board. Because of her paranoia we were 6 hours early for our flight. We got there at 12pm and our plane didnt leave till 6pm. Its funny. The one time you actually wanna take up time goin thru security...you get thru in less than an hour!! So lets fast forward a bit >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Ok..After spending 7 hours on a plane we finally arrived at Heathrow Airport in London, England. Out of all the cities we visited, London would have to win the award for the cleanest city!...We stayed at the Clifton Ford hotel for those of you who still dont believe I went to Europe. The hotel was pretty nice and the food was great..lol.. We went on a bunch of tours and saw Big Ben, Buckingham Palace and alot more. Traffic was terrible tho because the Queen and the rest of the royal family..you kno...Princess Dianas kids... were in the park. The Queen was putting in a fountain in honor of Princess Diana. One night there we went to see, "The Phantom Of The Opera". It was excellent..it was pretty good for an opera. That night we took a taxi back to the hotel. We had all climbed in except for my godmother who was just at the door. She had just climbed in when someone walked over, slamed the door shut and sed in a funny british accent, " Get your fat ass in that cab". Me and my mom juss sat there surprised. We both thought that we were the only ones who heard it..but it turns out..we werent...Even the driver was laughing..lol it was sooo funny.Finally as we started to get use to living in London and getting familiar with their money system..we had to move on to Paris.. We took a ferry across some thing of water and saw the White Cliffs of Dover in the background...but now they were kinda the Dirty Cliffs of Dover from all the air polution. We rolled into Paris on the tour bus and my mom just about had a heart attack. She was appauled on how Paris looked. Trust me..it looks nothing like in the movies. It was really dirty, trash everywhere and not to mention tons of graphiti. (theres tons of graphiti in Europe and most of it is about President Bush..lol)..However, Paris is beautiful at night..seeing the Eiffel Tower lit up at night is like magic. Paris also has a dark side, very dark. Theres a bunch of sex shops and when I say a bunch I mean streets where thats the only thing on it...We saw the Moulin Rouge while we were there and lets just say that we guys enjoyed it..alot. It was nothing like the movie..actually..it turned out to be kind of a nude,erotic sort of show. I guess our tour guide, Graeme, tried to warn us...but when he sed "they do show womens bits" none of us understood him. They have no problem with nudity over in Europe lol...anyways.. The French can be very rude at times....(its more the older people..the younger generation is nice and more open to speak with you) One lady who was on the trip with us, Scarlett, was eating in McDonalds with her family...She was siting down eating when a guy walks over to her and spits in her face..he walks to the door and gives her the finger and says somethin in french. She just sat there in complete shock...She was really sad because she figured she must have done something to offend him...either that or he was psyco...They came to the conclusion that the guy must have thought she was an american...turns out..shes australian..lol..But I guess to make up for all the terrible things in Paris is their food..its great....After Paris we went to Switzerland. Hmmmm....What can I say about Switzerland...nothing really..They are really organized and I got a Swiss Army Knife!! lol..At the hotels nobody who works there is Swiss...they are all foreigners...I think in Europe sex is as important as eating and sleeping...Every other channel had porn on it...it was actually getting kinda annoying..lol After Swizterland we went back to a bunch of places in France...Monaca,Montecatini, Nice,The French Riviera...While on the French Riviera we stayed in this beautiful hotel..It had a great rooftop swimming pool, unfortunatly most of us didnt get to swim in it...It also had a beach right across the street(the mediteranean)but i dont recommend swimming in it..Its like walking off a cliff...You step in and one step later your in water up to your neck..its crazy...this beach also turned out to be a nude beach..(for the women..lol) and i think its actually the first nude beach i've seen that wasnt full of old people...lol...One night our tour guide took us to this really nice resturant up in the mountains(im glad we had a good driver) The resturant was called La Bergerie and the food was pretty good..On the way down tho I think we were all praying..It was dark and our driver, Umberto, had been drinking that night..lol...lets just say we got down that mountain really fast. We did a bunch of stuff in France and when we finally started to get use to the language barrier we had to go to Italy...When I think of the word Italy or Italian I now think of extremely rude, ignorant and arrogant people. I mean these people are horrible. They ignore you while your waiting for your food...all they do is talk..talk talk talk...its so rude..If they are having a bad day, they let the whole world kno!..They are also extremely bad drivers..I mean..they must think a stoplight is some kind of christmas decoration because they just ignore them..and the police honestly dont care...lol.. I saw the leaning tower of piza, and the coliseum and i got to tour The Vatican...you kno..the place where the Pope is and stuff. We left from Rome on July 18th and our plane had to stop in Germany..We got on another plane which took us back to Dulles Airport in Washington D.C...Lets just say on that day we had the worst of luck..First of all our flight was like 12 hours long not to mention that we had like 4 babies on the plane...grrr....When we did finally land we had to sit on the plane for like an hour because the computers in the airport were down and they were doing everything by hand...When we finally got to the car it wouldnt start...grr again... we had to call the auto people to get a jump start....lets juss say that was a hectic day...Im pretty sure I left out a bunch of stuff prolly because most of the trip is a blur to me...lol...I got to drink alot when I was in Europe..(thats prolly why everything is a blur...lol and I met alot of cool people (AUSSIES ROCK...lol) Europe was great and Im glad I got to experience it at such a young age... Now that I no what Im missing in life I have to go back by myself or with someone else because my family was def. slowing me down...lol...At that famous fountain in Rome we all made wishes to come back...lets just hope they come tru ;).....I'll be sure to post tons of pics once I upload them onto my comp! ::Sigh:: July 18, 2004

I have to admit. I am getting pretty excited about going to Europe but at the same time Im scared because of the whole not knowing the language thing. 0_0 I just consider myself lucky because most kids,even grown ups for that matter, dont even get to leave the country and even though I kno Im gonna get bored I promise Im gonna try to look on the bright side of things (that would be a first..lol) Today I think Im getting my hair cut really low and probably finish packing. I think I may be going to Kings Dominion on Saturday....but I doubt it. I leave for Europe Sunday,July 4th, 2004 and I come back July 18th..I dunno what day that is...probably a sunday..but to make a long story short. I'll be gone for two weeks!.....Im goin to 7 places..but all i can remember are london,paris,switzerland,monaco,italy and germany...im missing one..oh well.... I just realized that Im not gonna be here for Paul's birthday (which is the 17th)...not that it matters or ne thing. I actually think its good that I havent talked to him all summer and its probably a good thing that I cant come to his party (that is if he has one and if he planned on inviting me) because it would just make it even harder to say goodbye.......anyways..lets get off this subject.. I have to go walk my neighbor's dog Kasie soon because Ms.Felicia asked me to yesterday. I feel sorry for that dog sometimes because they always keep him locked up in a cage...poor little yorkie... I'll be sure to take lots of pictures while Im gone and maybe my cell will work...(which i doubt it will..but im gonna take it ne wayz) If it does work then i'll be sure to post about what happened that day but i cant put ne pictures because i lost the little attachable camera thing for my fone....so yeah.... I'll try to write one more post before I leave or at the airport on sunday....So c-ya guys in two weeks!!! So sad and lonely June 28, 2004
I woke up today and for some reason I really missed going to school at Emmanuel..I must have had some dream about it or somethin because that was really random. I really hated that school yet Im gonna miss it soooo much. Im not sure if I should visit either because...well...because... Frankie and the rest of his family left for Cancun this mornin!!! ^ - ^ But I have to admit..I am gonna be pretty bored without anyone to kinda hang out with or talk to even tho hes like 9 and rather annoying at times... Chevail is at work till 6 and he doesnt really come out the house during the week so I guess this week is just gonna be you and me! *refering to the blog..not you :-P* I leave for Europe in 7 days (a week) and Im finally starting to get excited..well first of all I love the feeling you get when your at the airport and when your boarding the plane..I love travelling. Even tho this trip is gonna be extremely boring I'll just be glad to finally be able to do somethin outside the house. I am kinda scared tho. Because you kno the whole not being able to understand what people are saying because its in another language thing... I guess I'll get over it...It would be cool if I understood some French or German...All those years of lang classes would finally pay off but I doubt it because I dont even remember how to say hello in either of those languages anymore...(bonjour and guten morgen..lol) I was watching tv last night..Lifetime to be exact..lol and somethin made me turn down the music on my comp. For some reason I began singing along to the music on tv..subconciously(sp) Then it hit me....Thats a Sandtown song...Pauls choir!!....on tv? and then I started to actually pay attention to the episode and it was funny because the music didnt fit at all...Some little kids singing while some lady makes a drug bust...lol and at that singin about the Lord..hehe I was surprised I didnt start missing him tho...I think Im finally over that even tho it was kinda painful.. But the show must move on as some great actor person sed i think..... I think Im gonna attempt to paint the rest of the walls in my room today even tho Im prolly only gonna do one more...I would stay online all day and watch tv but I cant do that ne more because my dumb cousin is here for the summer and all she does is use the phone and the computer all day long..and most of the time the people she talks to online are the same people she talks to on the fone so its like shes hoggin it...and then she talks on the phone and the internet at the same time!!! I cant believe im saying this but..DAMN YOU DSL BROADBAND CRAP....Im tempted to kinda casually break the DSL box thing and have to go back to Dial-Up but that would be torture...hehe..the good old days..well Im off to go watch tv and play video games in the basement...wish me luck on not being to bored!? Test June 25, 2004
Just a test 2 see if I can make a post from my cellphone --*~!Zaccai!~* Why! June 23, 2004
Im so freakin mad right now...There I was, peacefully sleeping in my bed and suddently out of no where my cell phone begins to ring. I begin to think, "Who the hell is calling me this early. Surly they know that I will curse them out!" I attempt to answer the fone but as we all know the Tmobile Sidekick has a terrible reception. So then I drag my lazy ass to the bathroom where I hope to have a clearer connection but to my prevail the cellphone was still showing that evil flashing "x". Now for some strange reason it had now become my duty to figure out who had called me. I rushed down the stairs hopping over the innocent cat sleeping and darted to the deck which was speckled with raindrops. I skillfully flipped open my fone and typed in my password like it was my last name. Almost instantly my service slowly began to come back and I looked thru my crowded Call Log to find the number. I selected the most resent entry and pressed ok. The phone began connecting the call and soon I heard a ring, a ring that made my soul feel complete. "Hello", sed that voice that sounded like it was from an asian desent. "Ummm, yeah..Did someone from this number call me?", I said sounding a bit grouchy. She then began saying something of no importance to me that I could not understand. My brain slowly began procccesing and I came to the conclusion that she had dialed my number by accident exactly 5mins ago. "I think you have the wrong number" , I said a bit disappointed. "Oh, Im sorry", the voice said in a foreign mumble. So..yeah..thats how I woke up. I hate when people dial the wrong number. This really should have been a short entry but I was in the "writing mode" and as my friends know I cannot stop writing once I enter this state of mind..soo yeah.. I leave for Europe in 11 days!! WOOHOOO....I'll be sure to take plenty of pictures and post them on my site and if my phone works.. I'll be sure to post them a.s.a.p! Today most likely will be boring. Frankie will call around 11 asking to come over. He will come over around 11:30 and stay till 12. Thats when his sister, Patrice, will call him and ask him to come home because she is bored and lonely even tho she doesnt even talk to him at home.....Its to gloomy to go running this morning so Im either just gonna stay online,go watch tv or play GC.... Crazy Ass Weekend June 21, 2004
(Sorry if this entry is kinda dumb...not in the mood..but someone is making me add an entry..) My moms party on Saturday was awesome...even tho I still cant believe she got rid of my ferret..A whole bunch of her friends and coworkers came and we had a ball...Most of the food was good and my aunt hired a harp player lady person..She was really good...(prolly cuz she was asian) She also got these doves that you can release and they looked soo cool flying in the sky..After the party we kinda had an after-party back at my house and it was just family...We had crabs and there was a whole bunch of "grown up drinks".....So me and my cousins were downstairs eating crabs and they told me to go try and get a smirnoff ice(sp)...I was all scared at first but half the growns werent even watching so I just went in the fridge and got it...That stuff is the best!!!!!..Then like 10mins later my mom was on the deck and asked me if I wanted a glass of champaigne(sp again) I was shocked..she must have been drunk...anyways..that crap is nasty but they had put strawberries in the glass and they tasted good after you drank all the bubbly stuff out..lol..For the rest of the nite we kept sneaking drinks and I was startin to get a bit tipsy...lol...everyone could tell cuz I would not stop tripping...I kept sayin it was because of my big feet tho..Of course 2 of my cousin were actin retarded(literally)..They actually can sit at a table and have a conversation by talking like they are retarded..its hilarious but kinda sad because I dont think they relize they do it anymore because they have been doin it for sooo many years...well yeah..sunday was rather boring..I slept a lot and watched tv alot...I didnt even get dressed because I didnt have any plans..so yeah...I'll write more crap later
