BLAAAAARG I BE BACK FROM T3H DEEEEAD!
for those who aren't fluent in idiotnese, that mean's i'm finally back and accounted for. well, here's how my lifes been going ( in layman's terms, if I went full detail, the simple mind would combust in fire and clams. yes. clams.):

Sept:
Ah school, there is thy sting. this month was pretty uneventfull.

Oct:
This month was full of screwing around untill haloween. I went out, decided to come back, then went out again. and had fun with a green laser pointer!

Nov:
ah, thanksgiving. this was a truly marvelous time. my cousin Will came over, funny guy. he's booksmart, yet somehow isn't very street smart. ah, then we get to the good part. mi tio Alex. the epitome of all I want to become. he's survived cancer, got the only quadruple-digit-IQ, and can get my youngest cousin to shut her piehole XP.

Dec:
December is a funny month for me. ever since I turned 10, I've lost all christmas spirit. don't know why. anywhoo, this is the real month for me ( besides april) that's choc-full of family. every day (ish), I go over to my grandma's house and play this board game ( called RAIL BARON) with everyone. now, this game is perhaps the most addictive and deadly force known to man. the Andrea Doria? they were wiped out by this board game. the way it works: the luckiest player starts winning in the first hour of the game, and then they KEEP winning. think of playing monopoly in a sharktank. that's what it's like. anyway, one is either Extatic that they won the game ( for me, only once.) or completely miserable, because if you're not winning, its utter hell. the only real bright side for me, is that I team up with Alex for it. we make helluva good "strategery" team.
enough on Rail baron.
Christmas, as i've said, was an odd time for me. I woke up christmas morning and just lay on my bed, wondering why I wasn't happy. I still don't know. that's why I love psychology. anyway, I recieved alot of nice stuff, but not really as good as the stuff I gave.

Jan-
New years brought sad tidings for me, my mentor for the last 2 months left. I had sort of a depressing time, just loafing around and doing school stuff.
OHOHOHOHOHOH!!!! I forgot! ever since the beginning of november, I've been doing WINTER CONDITIONING ( Idiot speak for hell after school) for crew ( thats rowing,kids! yuk, yuk.) I've also been pissed because stupid FCPS won't give us a snow day. at all. even in 2 inches of ice.

FEB-
this has been a month of extremes:
Bad: Conditioning keeps on. My cousin william left for the other side of the country. I have no girlfriend. I hurt my foot doing army laps.

Good: I made it into a varsity boat ( only freshman to do so). I'm now the oldest male cousin! I'm free to be single! I hurt my foot during army laps, so I don't have to go up/down stairs!



-----
so, that's basically the jist of my last few months. I'm going to be doing more journal updates than pictures and poems. although, I'm going to try to take some pictures of the Occaquan ( where I row), and some other nature pics. As i'm writing this, i'm realizing how much I actually miss my uncle Al.

To you, Alex, I give you the Doltec salute.
ONESHORT!!!! THUMP!
