It's all good

Random fact:

I was not quite developed into down-strumming quickly on my guitar. If that didn't make sense, I just couldn't keep up with most blink-182 songs and yellowcard songs I played along to with my sweet guitar.

Now onto better things.

I've been working (as you may have read in one of my last posts) and it's all good. Life is good. Work is good. My bank account is looking substantial...ly AMAZING!! So yeah. It's all good

But it can always improve.

I think after I graduate high school, I'm gonna move it on over to Anchorage or some city and get a freakin' radical apartment. Ya know, just to get the feel of living on my own before I move onto bigger things. Like a college. Or being a major rockstar. (joke) (insert sound of crickets here) (no this post is not my graduation speech)

That's what I'm shooting for anyway. Things change, times change, blah blah blah. Right now I'm focused on not missing any more work, and later finishing high school. Not a bad idea right? I'd like to make an absurd amount of money. Just to have. And spend. Spending money is great. Like concerts.

OH!

I may be hitting up the Alaska State Fair again. Quite possibly.

Now I know what your thinking, the fair is in the middle of August and school will have started by then and I will miss school like it died and went away. wait a sec.. no i won't. But still, I'll be absent. How am I supposed to graduate high school if I'm gonna be missing school and lollygaggin' with my homies at the state fair?! I'll figure that out.

Allow me to explain my average day at work.

At first, my job was to decontaminate the trucks that backed into contaminated soil to dump dirty dirt. VERY slow job. They dump dirt, we scrub the tires with brushes, the truck leaves, we wait for the next truck.

Def con level 3 suckage.

But that was when I first started my job. I then became a PCB sampler (PCB is a contaminant or something..) I'd recieve a dainty little zip-loc bag with a brawny little spoon and a nice pair of rubber boots that go over my steel-toe boots and protect them from being contaminated. I call them duckies. Just because they're yellow and when we'd dress up in our white tyvek suits we'd look like Donald Duck without his first-class blue vest. Then we'd trek into the contaminated soil to scoop the dirt. And VOILÀ! I'm sampling. Its a decent job. It keeps me active and what not.

I sampled for like two weeks straight before I was downgraded back to a decon guy. Although it felt nice to go from walking around in contaminated dirt all day, to doing nothing once again. And that's what I'm doing now. You learn to love it.

Other days, when there is nothing to do on the job site, we fill sand bags. With sand. Clean, uncontaminated sand. The sand bags are used as a type of paperweight to keep a very large tarp called a "liner" down on the pile of dirt that the trucks dump dirt in. We have to pull the liner off and on daily to ensure the stockpile of dirt is protected. The sand bags weigh like 34.5 pounds. I think. And carrying them around can sometimes be a workout. 

That's all I've been doing during my time at work. I've tried a couple of other things, but thats mainly what I do. But I haven't sampled in like 2 weeks. I'm really starting to miss it. I may just request to my SSO (site safety officer) that I want to become a sampler again. Perhaps.

So theres an update on myself. Josh. Kosbruk. The guy that got spit on by Ivan Moody of the metal band Five Finger Death Punch. Okay now I'm just stalling.

P.S.

Carrying those sand bags have granted me with a bit more muscle in my arms (mainly forearm) and I can now down-strum to quick blink-182 songs :D

Like Dammit ^

And The Rock Show ^

all day, err'yday

well since its been forever since i last posted i feel that a little update on myself is in necessity.

first and foremost i now have a job that pays $41.66 an hour. that makes $437.43 a day (10.5 hour days) and $2,624.58 a week (6 days of work and 1 day off [sunday])

=D

and then i have nothing to do after work.

>=C

i've already been told that i can now go and get change for all of my money that i make and put it in my bath tub and just sit there.

no.

..........

maybe.

but other than that, my life has become quite repetitive. just uneventful.

in my spare time i've been writing songs. i've written 41 of them and only three have a guitar in them, meaning those three are complete and the other 38 are hitting me with a type of writers block. but with a guitar. also its with an acoustic because i dont have enough equipment to put my electric guitar into garageband..

would you like to know the names of those three songs?!

I Like You

Colorful

&

Fireworks & Popsicles

that last one has a heck of a name right? its like it was put into a random happy song name generator. i like it.

my brothers have left my side to go fishing. i had a choice to go fishing or to stay and work, and i chose to stay and work.

Pros to staying home:

i get to sleep in my own bed.

bathe my filthy, contaminated self daily. (did i mention my job can give me cancer? :/)

make guaranteed money instead of getting a percentage during fishing.

and chill with my cousins and friends. or whats left of my friends.

Cons of staying home:

supreme boredom after work.

nothing to look forward to when i get home. except for work the next day.

and being indecisive on what i want to get with all my money.

gosh i sound like im complaining. i feel greedy.

i would rather not go fishing though :)

BUT when my brothers come back im sure it'll be all fun shenaniganz once again. to me, after we haven't seen each other in a while, i feel that we have the most fun and laughs. we will literally laugh after we delightedly tell each other about what we've been up to. it can be anything.

someone will cheerfully ask,

"where the heck have you been?"

 and the answer can be so bland and uninteresting.

"home playing peek-a-boo with my wall!"

(all of us)

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHDHGAHHAHA"

okay we don't actually play peek-a-boo with our walls haha :)

i don't at least... o_O

i can't wait till Softo and Morgan come back.

James and Peter?

maybe if they weren't so devoted to texting girls that they barely ever see throughout the year. Peter is the worst at that.

maybe GCI should just like shut itself down for a while. And facebook be more boring (oh wait..)

then they will be peeled from their phones and back to bro'in down with the rest of us.

its all good. but if they MUST text girls they just need to lay off from girls that one of us is interested in.

James made that mistake.

SO in that sense i hope you can see why i miss Morgan and Softo more.

whatevs. a game of Call of Duty: Black Ops drifts us away from everything else.

sometimes even a lit stove... we won't be making egg sandwich's during a game session anymore :D

well, this has been an uplifting post. long story short, i have a great paying job and the people i work with make it easier to get through the day. and i finally bought myself a 7 string guitar.

im pretty sure i have that on my bucket list.

:D

just let that sink in. admire the pic. bow to it. recognize the black border line that traps the beauty of all things and backs it into submission, forcing it to be engulfed and buried into the shiny blue apparatus that is my guitar.

its a keeper.

and if there is a disorder of some sort that involves the person buying something just because it appeals to them and looks cool, i have that. definitely.

till next time, im outtie.

P.S. 

why is it that all my posts get like 4 views when they are released but my Concerts and Rockstars post which was written last year is getting like 20 a week and is still my most popular? i should write about concerts and rockstars more.

Through the Monsoon

Hi.

It's me again.

I can't even remember the last time i posted on here.

but anyways, here's a post to make up for it :)

i went to the dentist the other day. which kinda surprised me because i planned to "accidentally" miss my appointment buuut they stayed an extra two days.

just for me, they said.

this wont hurt, they said.

they are full of LIES.

and what made it really awkward was that they asked how old i was. i said i just turned 18.

they sounded ever so surprised and began telling me the downsides of being an adult. you know, like filling out your OWN applications to jobs instead of just throwing it to mom and saying "i need that turned in by tomorrow." and they told me "people will start depending on you." and my favorite, now you can legally go to rated-r movies! wait.. thats not my favorite. i actually liked the feeling of disobedience. now that i wont get in trouble anymore, whats the point?!

at least i can still say i hate the dentist.

today was ALSO the last day of school. im grateful for that, but now i get to start working literally a day after school ends. whats up with that!? why does life hate me? the bright-side to that is i'll pretty much be rich by the end of the summer. but i wont get to do much since i'm going back to school because i didn't graduate this year.

thats right.

no graduation for me.

i am now a super-senior.

being a super-senior sounds like no fun at all.

well its been a great year in school at least. my teacher Master Plan will not be returning next year...

:(

we had good times with that guy! seriously. he is a funny guy. our time as a class with him has been so real, its unreal.

actually,

its been a lot of things.

im gonna miss him.

and this will conclude my post.

p.s.
i swear im not a pessimist. :)
and the title is one of my favorite songs by Tokio Hotel :)
check it

football

this post isn't about me telling you about how grueling and agonizing football practice was. I don't even play football. actually I can't because my school district only has basketball and volleyball for sports. and track. and wrestling. anyways onto the point...

I love football and everything, but I don't really care enough to watch it. mainly because after every single game that is played, someone on facebook will update about it. never fails. 

heck some will update AS they watch! as well as posting about who they're rooting for, which player did what and such and such.

and other people will even leave a nice comment on the statuses pertaining to similiarities in their opinions or evaluations in the game they're watching. in other words, i think football makes many, many people become one big happy family. which is FREAKIN SWEET! even though its the complete opposite when you're the one actually playing on live television... then everyone turns into the incredible hulk AFTER he finds out someone drank up all the milk leaving none for his bowl of cereal. they be angry at each other. thats what i think anyways.

but yeah. one big family. some people think that its annoying seeing everyone talking about football hour after hour, but i think its nice. its like a positive energy all around. 

E.L.E.!!!!

Everybody Love Everybody

P.S.

So a brunette takes her blonde friend to her first football game. the blonde has never heard of football before and is excited about seeing guys in tights tackling each other. they take their seats and the game begins. the two friends have a wonderful time. after the game the brunette asks her blonde friend "so what did you think?" the blonde says...

"well i like the guys in tights, but i dont get why the whole game is about the quarter that the ref flips at the beginning of the game.."

the brunette says "what?! NO! its about getting touchdowns!!"

"well why is everyone always yelling 'GET THE QUARTERBACK!!!!!!!"

ha. terrible joke. i love blonde jokes. that one is like my favorite dumb one ever.

if i were a rockstar...

This is going to be my favorite post to look at. Ever.

If Josh was a Rockstar.

If Josh was a rockstar, he'd be rich and famous.

If Josh was a rockstar, he'd take his bros across the U.S. going state to state staying in hotels and staying up all night playing xbox. The ULTIMATE vacation.

If Josh was a rockstar, he'd live in a freakin' sweet house located in the (I can't remember where again, but i have a post about it that you can look at:))

If Josh was a rockstar, he'd play guitar and/or drums onstage while touring with his almighty band.

If Josh was a rockstar, he'd crowd surf and stage dive.

If Josh was a rockstar, he'd totally call Justin Bieber to see if he's cool enough to hang out with him and try not to act like an idiot make a call to see if Justin Bieber will collaborate with him.

If Josh was a rockstar, he'd buy his dad a nice, sick-nasty boat to go fishing with over the summer. Josh needs a summer job while he's relaxing and decompressing from the long and glorious tour!! I know theres none of that when I'm fishing but sitll..

If Josh was a rockstar, he'd buy his mom a nice huge house in like California or someplace. JOSH NEEDS A BACK-UP HOME TO STAY AT WHEN HE GETS KICKED OUT OF THE HOTEL FOR DOING SOME CLASSIC JUVENILE BEHAVIOUR WHILE VACATIONING WITH HIS BROS!! DUH!!!

If Josh was a rockstar, he'd fly to London/anywhere out of U.S. and go explore what other countries have to offer.

If Josh was a rockstar, he's have the money to travel to places to visit his friends outside of Alaska.

If Josh was a rockstar, he'd get together with John Travolta and Nicholas Cage and convince them to take John Travolta's private jet to PTH. Josh needs to keep up on some promises...

If Josh was a rockstar, he'd take a surf board with him on the tour bus and have the driver SLAM ON THE BRAKES AS IF HIS LIFE DEPENDED ON IT while Josh was on the surf board at the back of the bus and whoosh..... Josh flies to the front of the bus with a surf board.

Come on, that last one sounds like it would be mega fun and you know it :)

Hopefully I won't fly out of the windshield...

So there it is my friends,

The true destiny of Josh's holy existence.

HA!

I wish.

but never say never :)

Thanks for reading!

I am going to live in this house one day.

First off,

I skipped school today.

I had a good reason!

Okay maybe not so good.

Alright not good at all.

I woke up at 11:45 am. That's like almost 4 hours late. And I didn't want to be the tardy-party-goer. I hate being that person. I am terribly disappointed in myself. But who likes being disappointed in themselves? I thought it was only natural that I cheer myself up by reading hilarious pages. They made my day a little brighter.

Here's my fave!!

*HEARS GLASS BREAK DOWNSTAIRS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT*

gf: "babe what if its a burglar!? go see who it is!"

bf: "ok!"

*bf grabs the toilet brush*

gf: "what are you gonna do with that? scrub him to death?"

bf: "would you wanna be touched with this thing?"

Ah yes. These kinds of things make my life.

So to clear things up, yes I decided not to go to school today because I'm a stubborn little punk. And yes I'm going to school tomorrow :)

And now on to the real reason you opened this post.

It's wonderful isn't it?

Here comes the rain.

It goes for $57,000,000+

Located on Grand Cayman island, Caribean.

It has a tennis and basketball court, many swimming pools, jaccuzzis, and an underground storage/bath/jaccuzzi as you can see in that last pic.

Being a teenager that's still in high school and has no job, this house is a tad bit out of my price range for a house.

But I can have hopes and dreams still!!

P.S.

I couldn't help it :)

Halloween Experience(s)

You may be asking yourself, how was Josh's halloween in Anchorage? And how was the concert?

My fellow reader/friend, prepare to get your mind guts disemboweled, Let me tell you.

My halloween was spent in Anchorage. It was quite laid back. I painted my face a little, had fun, went to a Holiday (gas station in Alaska only I think..) as the Joker from Batman, and wore an Angry Birds mask in a Fred Meyers. I have pics, I may post some, I may not. But it was a legit halloween.

That so called introduction, you can think of that as the cracking of your skull. Here comes the frantic disembowelment.

The concert is definitely the highlight of this trip. As you may have read in one of my previous blog posts, I mentioned of going to Anchorage for halloween for this concert. And I did.

The morning of the concert was quite a haze. As in I couldn't figure out what I needed or what I needed to do that day before the concert. Anyways, after all that was established, me, my mom, (yeah my mom went to a 36 CF concert. She is cool.) her boyfriend Jamie, and my Uncle Jeremy took a cab to the Egan Center in Anchorage. This was where the epic concert took place. After we all got to the Egan Center, my cousin Teddy called me and said that the cab driver ditched him and the cab company wouldn't pick him back up. He was at a Carrs store across town. He was not very happy but in the end, after I told my mom and Jamie to go inside while I wait for Teddy outside, he made it to the Egan Center. I then gave him his ticket so he can get in, and we entered the Egan Center. I was put on a list for free entry into the concert...

And a backstage pass.

The backstage pass was a total surprise. They put a yellow band on my wrist and said "Have fun."

I didn't find out I could go backstage with it until I asked the security guard standing in front of the door leading backstage. He was like "Yup." then stepped out of my way.

Me being a noob (Noob: [noun] Rookie that doesn't know anything.) about this backstage business I started walking towards the entrance backstage and expected to be tackled by some crazy security guard that just got done praying to another god in an angry fashion and hates his job. I have an irregular mind that makes me fear silly things. I was saying things like "yeah ok. here i go. walking backstage. im going in now."

I made it.

There was a bunch of things I did backstage I'm only naming a few. I hung out with one of the opening bands of Zombiefist. Their band name is Noise Brigade. They are pretty cool. I shook hands with all of them and bought an awesome Angry Birds mask from one of the band members. It was already signed by them. Another thing I did was meet 36 crazyfists. That was nothing short of AWESOME! I think I can cross that out on the bucket list. Along with another thing maybe.

But there was this one person that pretty much ruined the concert for me. Her name was "Annoying drunk or retarded 4 foot tall chick with nothing but a beach bikini on." She was convinced that the spot I was in was the best seat in the house and would not quit punching and biting my back. Or pulling my hair. And right when I had enough, I turned around and she was over some other guys shoulders and was tossed in the mosh pit. Her punishment was due but my revenge was not accomplished. I was mad.

And this is my second favorite moment of the concert. The first being me meeting 36, of course. But this moment felt like one of those "what in the world just happened" moments.

Here it goes.

I was in the mosh pit doing what everyone else was doing. Having fun and moshing obviously but in the middle of this awesomeness I noticed a little tiny looking figure. This thing looked like one of the members of the lollipop guild if one of the members took a time machine to the future. That thing couldn't have been more than 2 years old! And it was in a mosh pit of all places it should have been!! What the heck was it doing at a 36 Crazyfists concert you may ask? I don't know either. It truly amazed me to my core. I assumed it was a small child trying to be cute by dressing as a character from the Wizard of Oz. As I was creepin on this little elf looking fellow, someone finally took initiative and picked him up to escort him to a more appropriate place. I'm guessing. But as the "baby" got picked up by the dude, the thing yelled "PUT ME DOWN ***HOLE!" 

It was a midgit dressed up as a baby.

O EM Goodness my friends, that was the best moment of my life aside from meeting 36. That is one for the books.

So that's how the concert was. Crazy 4 foot tall chicks in bikini's and little imposter midgets.

The rest of my trip was nice. I went to the movies with some friends, loitered at the malls, pretty basic stuff for a teenager like my self.

Overall I had fun. I never did get to go on a smashing pumpkin streak though... Mainly because where I stayed was in the ghetto part of town. Hearing gunshots was mandatory. It was so mandatory that my friend timed all the gunshots so when the gunshot at 3 PM goes off, it's time to go to work at the Holiday mini mart down the street. That's gangsta right there.

You can pick up the remains of your brain now.

Something Awesome Is Happening in Japan Right Now...

....See?

I'm back from the dead.

The reason I haven't posted in like a million years is because I have two google accounts linked to the same email address, and one google account is for school and the other is for this blog. And I think when I sign

into my school account, it'll recognize that there is another google account with the same email address linked to it and sign me out of my blog.

And I forgot my password for my blogger account.

Until a miracle happened!!!!!!

I remembered it.

Ya know, it feels like I'm writing my first blog post all over again. Except I only wish I was living in the time when I wrote my first blog post. I have undisclosed reasons for this silly thought.

Look at us. We've been through a life time together.

We talked about crazy rock concerts, spending Christmas (33 days til Christmas!!) in another country, my broken ankle, my newly found admiration for Justin Bieber, some epiphany's, my Alaska State Fair trip, sayings from a 6 year old me, and bucket lists. Perhaps more.

I found out yesterday that I'm going to a Nelly concert. It should be interesting, I've never been to a rap concert before.

My #92's

Here are the things that seem to me are serious and legitimate suggestions for my #92 on my bucket list.

Possible #92: Participate in a street corner battle or something (Madison)

Possible #92: Enter and win a hotdog eating contest with over 200 hotdogs. (Rylee)

Possible #92: Meet Hugh Hefner (Cody)

Possible #92: Go to a Chelsea Grin concert (Collin)

Possible #92: Swim with dolphins (Danielle)

Possible #92: Hitchhike to California. (Madison)

I like that last one.

Anonymous sent these next ones. Yeah your new name is anonymous for not being serious and being dumb. I'm helping you if anything.

The graveyard list

1. Kiss a dude

2. Go into a gay bar

3. Throw something out of my window when it's closed shut

4. Hit Barack Obama in the face of his throat

5. Grab a girls butt out of nowhere

6. Sneak out of the house without permission (hehehehe :D)

7. Rob a jewelry store

8. Go to jail

I don't see how any of these would satisfy me.

I'll choose which one I like the most from the more appropriate list at the top and put it on the actual list.

Oh the Awkwardness...

Heyy JOSH!! whats up?

Me

hii nothing listening to music and talking to people

what are u doing?

anonymous

uhm nothing being bored

Me

thats nice

anonymous

u know who i like!?

This, my friends, is weird. I love fun conversations, but I draw a thick line on where you shouldn't go with a conversation. It saves the awkwardness for me and ultimately yourself. Sure, it would be nice (on some level) to know who you like, but going straight for it right from the start is a little tense! You can't just jump outta the box like that. That's, in some way, like if a mother gave birth to a child and the kid comes out like "awww yeah! fresh air hey doc cut this.. cut this.. ALRIGHT i'm ready for school." YOU WOULD NOT LIKE THAT WOULD YOU!? You gotta ease the question into the conversation. You gotta slyly INFUSE it into the text. Just like raising a kid. You don't want him to act the age of a teenager at birth! You want to accept the journey that is parenting and enjoy going through that journey! But this doesn't mean that you should make me run laps around the anxiety pool trying to figure out who you like. Just throw it out there when we've explored into that subject and you're comfortable enough to tell me, if I want to know. Most of the time I will if we spent an endless hour talking about it. Sometimes, all you need is someone to talk to. It'll lift some weight off of your shoulders.

Life's a lot like facebook conversations. You have to be careful.

Yeah I thought of that. Don't quote me (yet) though because I don't know if it makes sense yet either :)

P.S.

anonymous didn't tell me who this person likes. I guessed it. One shot. 10 points to Josh.

Monday Madness

This was posted by me this morning at 8:15 am on facebook. I think my wish has been granted.

Reasons why this Monday rocked:

I finished my science test. (I know. How dare I incorporate school in this awesome Monday-related post. I need to get the nerdy stuff out of the way.)

I snuck into a classroom and was unknowingly involved in a student government meeting even though I am not in the S.G. and I mentioned one thing and it got put into consideration almost immediately. All while I was supposed to be doing my science test.

Dish network (TV service) gave us 2 passes so we can watch any 2 movies for free on pay-per-view.

I found an awesome telescope (Now i have to bribe mom into letting me order it right now and not have to wait for Christmas to get it. 76 DAYS TIL CHRISTMAS!)

Weezer came back into my life.

I held down a very loud and whiny dog while Morgan pulled porkypine (check spelling) quills out of its face... wait...

This girl said she loves me.

I reached 99 notifications on facebook...

Thanks to Rylee and Madison. For that last one.

So this all rocked, but the last one was the best. Only because I love getting notifications from those two, and I got 99 of them. It was amazing. And I didn't even finish reading them all.

The "Liking and commenting everything i posted" fest consisted of.. You guessed it. Liking and commenting all of my pictures and posts. But it was legit. Definitely. Well worth waking up to a phone that has been set up to make the same lousy noise TWICE for every time someone gives me a single notification on facebook. I got to hear my phone go crazy for about 20 minutes straight. Even the feeling of having everyone in my grams (grandmas) house stare at me in jealousy as I clumsily got my things together because they never recieved so many text messages so rapidly in their entire lifetime. (Note: I was clumsy because I just woke up from a nap and thought somebody hacked my facebook and made someone mad while they were disguised as my virtual self, while I was sleeping. I was on edge.) I could just read their faces.

"I wish I was that popular...."

But nope. Madison and Rylee decided to help me cross out another thing from my bucket list. They are, what you normal people would call, the Best Girls Ever. Besides my mom. And my grandma. And my other grandma.

My Monday was awesome.

I hope I passed on my science test :)

Telescope

For the longest time, maybe since June, I've wanted to buy one thing and one thing only with my fishing pay. But my fishing pay was abnormally quickly spent, so I've been waiting for my PFD (Permanent Fund Dividend. Free money for Alaskans. Kindof) to get it. And I've been waiting a long time.

A telescope.

One moonlit night on the boat when I was fishing with my uncle John in Pilot Point overseas, I woke up and went outside to the deck to grab something to drink. Then I noticed when I was on the flying bridge (top of the boat.) that the moon was literally the only thing in the sky. No clouds. No stars. (at least i didn't think so.. I was tired. Fishing is not for the weak :D) And it lit up the whole world it seemed like. I thought one thing. I want a telescope. I remember trying one out at one point in my life, but that memory is a little to vague for me to explain. And I didn't have one on the boat that night. And using binoculars just wasn't the same. I don't even think it was good for my eyes...

But yes. A telescope. I want to look at the moon which seems like its been teasing me with its awesomeness at night. I swear its never shown itself like it has during the past week in so long. In Port Heiden anyways. And when I look up at the moon, I think of the movie Apollo 18. Mainly because (IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN THE MOVIE AND WANT TO, DON'T READ THE REST OF THIS PARAGRAPH FOR THIS IS ABOUT TO BECOME A SPOILER MARATHON! READ AT YOUR OWN RISK!) In Apollo 18, which is supposed to be actual footage from when Lance Armstrong or some other Armstrong went to the moon, they all are left for dead on the moon. And the bodies are still there, if the aliens (the rocks on the moon are aliens...) never dragged the bodies into the craters. I don't want to stare at dead bodies. Gross. I want to see if I can spot a moving rock or something. And to do this, I'd need a freakin' awesome telescope.

I also want to look at the stars and stuff. Peter says he'll stare at the sun...... (sigh)

And my journey in searching for the perfect telescope begins...

Tonight.

I think of more as I progress through my life. This is good for now, but I will add on to this post. If that's possible.. Still a bit foggy on the blogging business.

My sincere apologies...

So sorry for the last post. I'd totally wimp out and not be able to pull the trigger if I tried.

I just really dislike the whole concept of school right now. Sure it would be nice to know who fought for our country in world war 1 and 2 and know about that Ghengis Kahn fellow, but my opinion on learning about things that have been done in the past is that it is the past and it wouldn't help towards my education to know who invented a freakin helicopter. Or dental floss. We should learn about Star Wars and the magical world of Harry Potter and do the things they do in X-Men for P.E. What is it again? Where the professor would simulate an actual fight in a huge room and the participants would have to endure it? Ah yes. The Danger Room. Because you can actually get hurt or even die in there. At least it's something fun and exhilerating! Besides the grueling hours we spend in that torture chamber of a classroom.

I'm not even going to start on math. No words can describe the pure hatred I have for that joke of a subject.

I realized what I said in my last post about me wanting to find out where that rapper, 50 Cent, got shot (in the temple of his head, through the cheek and twice in his back) and shoot myself in those spots, was a little too graphic and harsh. But incase you're wondering, why in those spots? Because I don't want to die. He got shot in those spots (and more) and he is still alive today. I just want to not worry about school. Even though as soon as I would recover from the wounds, Math and the entire school subject neighborhood would be waiting for me like we're at a freakin airport.

"heeeey jossh. i misssed youuuuuu. coomme oveeeer heeeere. i haave somme woooork for yoooou. youur miiiine foorevverrrr. i'll neever leeave youuuuu josssh. i looooove yoouuu jooshhh"

Say that in your head with a touch of persuasion and a milk jug of creepiness.

I want to be done with school so badly. But then I'd have another one to deal with. If I even go to college at Full Sail University. But that sounds way more fun than going to school in Meshik. More people. More socializing. And more fun. Sure the work will be there, but I'd be in a different place than Meshik.

P.S.
Dear Math:
Walk off a cliff the size of Mt. Olympus and break your face on the hard ground and fall into the hottest part of Hell and land on barbed wire dipped in lemon juice laced with acid and have Satan spit on you for eternity.

Don't love me.

Broken, Beat and Sore

Is the name "Godsmack" offensive? Anyways...

(This is a short post)

Less than an hour ago, I was in the Sullivan Arena attending the Godsmack concert. Let me tell you this, that was the best concert I've ever been to since Korn played at the Denai'na Center in March of 2010! I'm dead serious.

The opening band was a local band from here in Alaska. They are called Wichita Shadows. After they did their 45 minutes on stage, the singer walked across the front row and handed out the paper with the songs they played. And my awesome bro grabbed one from him and gave it to me. And I shook his hand and the bassists hand. Then 30 minutes later, Godsmack walked on the stage and surprised us (the very rowdy and energetic crowd) because they were scheduled to play 10 minutes before they did.

They played all the songs I liked. Legit.

I sang along to all of them. Legit.

The mosh pit at the end of the concert had to have been the most deadly one ever. Legit

The crowd I was in was amazingly active and cooperative. Legit.

My cousin Teddy came with us and had as much fun as I did because he has a love for mosh pits and rock concerts. Legit.

There was a girl there with light blue hair that was amazingly pretty with a short skirt and white dress shirt that was torn. I told her that I loved her hair and she replied "Aww thanks" in her sweet voice. I got another free hug. Legit.

I am going to be very sore tomorrow. Suck.

I saw Nikki Stringfield... No words can describe that feeling.

I'm ready to go home now.
