ok umm well based on the massive response i get on this journal, i don't think i'll be posting much on here anymore, if at all.
i'll still get on to read/stalk you. if you're cool enough. and i'll leave comments and what not.
if you want me to come back that bad, sign a petition or something. until then, farewell my friends. and these are my children that live in cages.

so now that i figured out the whole picture thing with my xanga, i'm pretty sure i'll be neglecting this lj a lot more. so sorry to those of you who are avid readers. since i know there are a lot. but anyway, these are from homecoming, which was a-maze-ing. i look pretty much demented in most of these, but what are you gonna do? despite the demented-ness of my face, this is still a cute pic. i mean, c'mon, it's me and cat.
 nice o-face on kirsten here hahaha.
 the beautiful g-villians.
 me and my sons, including king mark 
me dancing with drunk-faced eddie.

a super-gorgeous pic of me jess and maggie at easton.
 and in honor of Animal House, here is the Wiggle. 
happy birthday.

thank you stranger, for your therapeutic smile
had this song in my head all morning. the happiest song ever, i think. you know that crazy high-feeling you get when you're drugged up on dayquil? for some reason that just puts me in a really great mood. so today i finally realized how pointless it is for me to be in school after english. my only real classes are in the morning anyway, so i just went up to jules at the front desk about 11 and told her i was leaving. and i did. so that was nice to have some sleep and then not have to go to practice either. i lovvvvvved it. school hasn't really been bad though, it kicks to be a senior. and the weekends pretty much rule. much like this upcoming one will. and the weekend after that will probably be the greatest thing ever. west virginia/homecoming events. hell i might even go see my chemical romance next thursday. how's that for random. ok well just wanted to keep all you lovely livejournalers posted. enjoy yourself. .......sexually. Current Mood: mellow | | Sunday, August 28th, 2005 | | 5:04 pm |
the Summery (summary of summer....get it?) summer, summer, where night belongs to lust and lovers. where all the girls bear olive shoulders. blah blah blah dashboard. here is my summer in pictures. there were about 500 total, but i settled on these that summed up some of the major events. (notice how many times dan is in these. it's ridiculous.) beginning with the last minute of junior year. oh joy. 
moving onto grad-jee-ation. 
and then there were a million grad parties. lauren found a mouse here at gab's. 
then there were pictures that had to be burned. a few of my sophomore colleagues took care of that here. 
can't forget the camp enterprise gang. 
too cool for you. 
what could be in that cup that is making me look like that? i don't know either. 
me, steph, and chad, in the form of a phone. we're gone. 
onto the outer banks. 
then began the good times on luke's roof. 
i'm pretty sure that's the beginning of joe and elena in the background. crazy. 
my three sons owen, kevin, and kieran at safety city. 
the amazingly hot underground at the street fair. 
oh, this night. jud being interviewed about getting punk'd by the newark police. 
also that night i met steve-o the coolest. what a great way to meet people. 
one day on a sojourn to the hoback bridge. 
then there was michigan. this is my grandpa. 
4 hot chicks. 
had to throw this in there because of shan's face, and also the iced cappucino, one of the staples of my summer diet. i wish i had a picture of a crunchwrap too. 
pretty. 
took my wife to a concert. tons of stories in that night alone. 
then i took 3 of my other sons to wildwood for a day. they were so excited. 

for may's b-day. 

a long night. 
rascall flatts. 

another one of my kids. 
ginger louise 
the xc car wash. 
last bonfire at luke's. 
dawes on the last day of summer. 


lots of pictures, i know. and that's just the tip of the iceberg. if you weren't in those or at least involved in any of those events, then we either didn't hang out enough this summer, didn't take enough pictures this summer, or we aren't friends and i don't know why you would expect me to say so, STALKER!

well i figured i would post some pictures of johanna and her craziness. i swear we have the best time whenever she is in town. it really really sucks that it'll be at least a year before we see her again. the good thing is that we might all be going to berlin next summer to visit her and see the world cup. that would be amaaaaazing. but probably only possible if i come across a barrel full of money somewhere. anyway, here is jo. she is probably the prettiest person i know. 
and this is our german-serious-model face 
i let her drive, even though she can't get her license for another year. so yeah we almost died. 
and of course sarah and i had to dance to the thong song. notice the seductive look on my face and my extremely weird back dimples.

i love this picture - it's like something out of sixth grade. we were actually listening to the spice girls when this was taken. everybody please notice sadie's cleavage. 
how do you not love that face.

and ya gotta have one of these.

well......summer is now dwindling down. i like that word. dwindling. mmmmmmmm. and i still feel like i have so much to do. so much that was planned and didn't happen, so much that was promised, so much that was just necessary and the time is running out. but i guess that's just the way it goes. i'll be taking advantage of the next week and a half in every way i can. i hope you and i can hang out before school starts. that would be awes. | | Tuesday, August 2nd, 2005 | | 5:45 pm |
of the past weekend...... summertime is party time. here is proof: i am super proud of this picture. jason rath in midair.

the flat-tire party before the knox fair on friday. 
most of us at the fair. 
this is obviously a "before" picture. me and may on saturday night. 
i just thought this looked cool, whatwith the cigarettes and all. 
i don't know what was happening here or who took it. but sugar was shocked by something.
 and this one....i have no explanation.
 me and the sea.
 and me and tony, one of the lovely hosts of saturday night's festivities. 
good times my friends, yep, goooooood times. how have you been? | | Friday, July 15th, 2005 | | 1:45 pm |
Vacation #2: mackinac island/lake michigan the house on the left is my cousin's old house, where we stayed last time. the one on the right is their new house. ok, more like new mansion.

there are tons of crazy animals and things hanging on the wall. like this bear. rarrrrrrrr. 
gerg and me, looking hot. because it was like 95 degrees that day.

arch rock. crazy, isn't it.

jim must think he is cool or something 
these are the cousins, minus drew. 
my grandma and i are freakishly similar. we were dancing here, with the same looks on our faces and the same dance moves.

and you've gotta have your sand castles.

next post will be of the remaining summer....in newark. wooooo. make it awesome for me, bitch.

the OBX in a nutshell...... sunrise 
the six seniors 
what is any vacation without a night of putt-putt? 
the quintessential outer banks shot 
good times, late nights
 (yes, that is an empty bottle, after about 3 days)
 gotta have the monopoly 
sunset

so, there you have it. vacations rule.

you are about to get a terrible partridge family song stuck in your head....
so enough of that depressing crap. this livejournal may just have become pointless because i figured out how to so pictures on the xanga. sorry livejournal, you are second-best, and i am thinking about breaking up with you. don't you just hate hearing that? well exams today....easy. and today might have been the hardest day too. if you are a rare person who only communicates with me through livejournal, which is no one i think, let's hang out this summer. if you are a person who communicates with me otherwise, let's hang out this summer. but i will tell you that when we are communicating otherwise. i think i love you. | | Friday, May 27th, 2005 | | 5:57 pm |
nobody said it was easy i cried today. and that only happens like once a year, always at the senior farewell mass. but it was nice to hug everyone and tell them how i loved them. here is a tribute in pictures to the graduating class. a lot are from prom - these are just some of my favorites.




 




 dan i know you must hate me for putting that up. but you can't deny the hilariousness of it.

god i'll miss them. today also helped me realize that i have a class full of good people and best friends, and we are gonna make next year awesome. i can't even imagine how bad i will be taking this day in a year. have a good weekend everyone. | | Tuesday, May 17th, 2005 | | 9:43 pm |
random pictures, not an adequate post. but i hate having old things sitting. so here you are: wiggy looks terrified of me and my prom excitement.
 it seems like i made a lot of friends on friday night. like eric barbour.
 and you gotta love passed out people. wearing their shirts inside out.
 shan and i in front of the shay-gray tree. we were proud.

that is all for now. i have a lot a lot to do. and haven't gotten more than 5 hours of sleep in about 3 weeks. | | Tuesday, May 3rd, 2005 | | 5:25 pm |

oh, mark so here is my first minor entry. i don't feel like spending much time on here so off i go, but not before i leave you with this:
