Did ya think I was dead? Sorry, you’re not that lucky. But you are lucky enough to get another edition of the news!!! Not only that, but it’s a pretty big one at that. The big thing about it though (which, really isn’t that big)? Two Big News Stories!!!
*Big News Story: Soccer has started. Yes, the usual aches and pains are there. However, I actually feel pretty good. Spirits are currently up for the upcoming season and, although I don’t think I’ll make varsity (d’oh!), I’m looking forward to working hard and having a lot of fun this season. I would very much like to be on varsity, if for nothing else the fact that they have more games. But I’ll take what I can get. I enjoy playing the game, and I can’t wait to get out there and do my best. To put my body through all this hell, I better have fun!!!
*Big News Story: School is coming, and there are quite a many changes for me to go along with it. Lots of things have been happening, within myself and dealing with others, over the summer that have taught me a lot about myself. One thing that most of my schoolmates would say upon being questioned is that I act pretty immature sometimes. In reality, I’m actually a very mature young man (seriously here folks). However, over this summer I’ve seen some things and been through some things that I believe have increased my maturity level. The only difference between this year and last year is that this year I’m actually going to show it. (Want proof? See what I wrote to Bryan in this day’s edition of Da Real.)
*Happy birthyday time!!! Today it goes to two very special people in my family. The first is my wonderful wonderful cousin Kimmy. I hope she’s doing well in...uhh, where’s she living again? Hehe - I think it’s Cleveland now, but I’m not sure. (Dang, I should know that!!) She is younger than the other person who shares her birthday; someone who likes to go by the name Iris. Now Iris is a very interesting name - it belongs to my mom! Happy birthday mom! I know that your birthdays aren’t always that great, and that this summer hasn’t been all that eventful for you. But nonetheless, you know that you have a family that loves you. And at the end of the day, that’s all that really matters. ;-) Come on, admit it - I’m the best birthday gift you could get. ;-) Hehe :-) Happy birthday you two.
*I know it’s not the most appealing of subjects, but my feet are killing me! I really hope nobody is following me around with a camera looking at my feet because they are really a mess thanks to soccer.
*So much love being lost nowadays. As far as LaShelle and I? I’ll send out this message; unless either of us tells you, don’t ask. As of this moment, I’m not sure what’s going to happen. Believe me however, when I say that once something happens you can bet I’ll save myself the shock before I get back to school; it will be posted in this section of the site.
*Late night thoughts right before you go to sleep can be a bitch...really.
*I had a rather interesting discussion with someone about the topic of racial discrimination (which...somehow managed to wind up being a conversation about spoiled dogs...). People, it’s the year 2000. If you know someone who stays away from someone because of their differences of others, please talk to them. Tell them to wake up. Tell them that inside we are all the same, and that we all really can get along. (As corny as it sounds people, it’s true, it’s true.)
*In the upcoming school year, bet money on Old Navy becoming one of my best friends...
*It is still unknown if I will do another sport outside of soccer this year. Although I’ve been throwing around track, wrestling, and (more recently) basketball in the air, I really don’t know anything.
*For anyone who was from Poly that represented at 92Q’s “Big Phat Brainfreeze”, great job. Even though I didn’t see it, I’m sure ya’ll didn’t dissappoint.
*No Stone Soul Picnic for me. :::sigh:::
*No Lucy Pearl/D’Angelo for me (I think). :::sigh:::
*Six days until my mommy’s going away party!!! (:::yay!:::) Ritija, I wish you all the luck in India, but I’ll tell ya that when I get there. I’m really looking forward to seeing everyone from CMST again. I haven’t been this excited since I was waiting to go to CMST!!!
*Look for a special section on the music site in the near future that will have me going through the MTV Video Music Awards. I’ll be listing the nominees and choosing my picks. That should be coming some time before the end of August.
*110 songs downloaded off Napster now. Yippee.
*For those who don’t know (and those who didn’t care - that would be most of you), yes, Scotty’s feet have just about stopped growing. However, although I didn’t grow much over the summer (I’m 6’4” or 6’5”, depending on how you wanna look at it), I may have one last growth spurt left in me. Only time will tell...(tick, you damn biological clock - tick damn you!!)
*Now before I leave, there’s one thing I’d like to address (which will also be explained in greater detail in Da Real). People, stay out of other people’s business. If you have no place there, don’t make space. You’ll only screw things up. And I’m talking mainly to...
Well, that’s it for now. That certainly was a fairly large update. Kinda makes me wanna sit back and smile. :-) Ahhh - that felt good. Well, that’s it for now! Besides, I’m hungry. Somebody get me some food! Peace and God bless...
