Interesting stuff

So today was the start of the LISD school year..and I didn't have to go. But I did get an education today.

I had Starbucks this afternoon with Andra. It was really cool to catch up with her again. I am totally over the trust issue and fear she caused me three years ago(she doesn't know it was her that pushed me there yet) She is off drugs, starting school and trying to quit smoking. I did find out my friend sunshine had started smoking however. She is one of the last I ever would've guess. Then I gave a Holland presentation to my mom's bible study. I really enjoyed it as they were so interesting it encouraged me like no other. Also, I talked to Jean today and am thinking about presenting to the missions board and trying to get some money for youth contact to eventually rent another building in a few years...We shall see. This evening I went to Starbucks with Amanda and laughed so hard I actually spewed. it's been a good three years or so since that happened but I really enjoyed our time together a lot!! I love you Amanda!!! I saw Bailey Ashley Pembroke and her dad...I saw George, Brian, Chad and the rest of the guys at Starbucks..and I saw Frank at Blockbuster.

I also saw Andrew Smith. My co-photo editor last year. This was the shock of the night. It turns out this morning Cameron, a friend and Marquee photographer, killed himself. It is pretty shocking but it hasn't hit me yet. I was listening to the conversation on my left as Bailey and Amanda talked. They were all so upset and unknowing of what to do. Most of the people in that group Andrew left me to go talk to is either Mormon or nothing. I am meeting him at Marcus on Monday to talk about it now. Whoa. What can I say. Please give me wisdom Dad. Well I better head out..Don't forget to read the post before this...It is about AOL language and worth looking at. Take care. Check this suicide song out..it's the one called "Goodbye(I'm Sorry)"

Do you know Eve 6?

Here's the lyrics to one of their songs. It's about a friend of his that got raped and is suicidal so the rape part doesn't relate to what happened but the chorus especially is good. You should listen to the song, it's very good:

"Friend of mine"


Are you feelin that you're on the brink
Of spilling some red in the sink
It wasn’t the easiest year
No I don’t want you to go

Are the memories too hard to take
Rape is a word with a face
No I don’t want you to go
You know I don’t want you to go

Friend of mine stay alive
Don’t you leave me here
All alone in the world with a chronic tear
I will always be here, I will always be here
I will always be here for you

We walked the promenade in the rain
With velcro shoes and an ice cream stain
You’re the only one who understands
Remember the Blake said to make sure you wake
And help save your generation

No I don’t want you to go
You know we don’t want you to go

Friend of mine stay alive
Don’t you leave me here
All alone in the world with a chronic tear
I will always be here, I will always be here
I will always be here for you

Don’t look back
The past is just that
We are We are We are We are
Awake

Friend of mine stay alive
Don’t you leave me
Friend of mine stay alive
Don’t you leave me
I will always be here
I will always be here

Friend of mine stay alive
Don’t you leave me here
All alone in the world with a chronic tear
I will always be here, I will always be here
I will always be here for you
