11:47 pm	Hmmm... Ok so I havn't updated in a while... Sorry guys(like anyone reads this anyways) So I went off tonight in a discussion with a friend and started really shooting through some ideas so I edited it into a small writing. Other than that the play went well, except for the gazebo... lol, So here is that writing thing. Plz comment on it. I will have a copy of it at school too so feel free to ask me for it. love ya all... -Leon The precarious surrounding of a town that is quaint and driving down the road as your hands begin to tremble and the ocean and sky become one in the same, you feel as though you're floating, floating over the quaint little village of Avalon off a cliff you go into a downward spiral of Love and Anger. The sky churns a charcoal black as you spiral downward towards the ever-so-near ground, when all of a sudden… you realize it's just a dream, that you fell asleep at the wheel and you are now sailing off a cliff, descending into the depths of hell that no man has experienced before. When you awaken, sweating and heaving a sigh of relief you don your clothes and prepare for your day. Your day seems to go great even though this hellish nightmare replays itself in your insightful mind throughout the day. Then, as you thought your life was becoming a nightmare, you realize you are awake and that some unearthly, luminously lit, cloud appears over your head blocking your view of the sun and casting the darkest of shadows among men you despise. Your teachers become demonic figures as they linger about. The sulfur on their breath dissipates in the surrounding bubble that you have been placed in. Your bubble finally bursts... and you find yourself, once again, feeling lost and confused. Right becomes unacceptably wrong and wrong becomes indecently right as you work your way to the top of the tree to jump and see the ground in a first person view. As you jump you wish that something with the emotions of love and care would catch you with open arms, ready to hold you dear. Love then becomes hate, hate becomes nonsense, nonsense becomes gossip, gossip becomes harsh words that stir emotions to an unwelcoming point, it all boils into this feeling we like to call anger. Friends become enemies and enemies become homicidal threats. Worlds become drastically smaller than before as that of your business becomes everyone else’s. You begin to be read like newspaper. Everyone SEEMS to know everything when all they know is what they, themselves, think up. It is utterly impossible to depict the reality of your thoughts unless you, of course, are the one thinking them up. Some people fake it while others ride with it. In the end no one thinks of the same person the same way and not everyone is accepted in the way that they should be or with the respect they deserve. People are hated with an utmost passion for the most unacceptable reasons. It is a “He said… She said…” society of underground rats that emerge only when the trash has been left out for the taking. Life on an Island... That's what this is. It always is best to treat everyone the same unless they give up a reason not to. Judgmental people are the most ignorant people on the planet. Whether it is by own choice or a habit formed from surroundings, each person copes with it in a separate way that reflects a unique person. The town of Avalon has been ridden of the things that should be held in highest regard. Our tourists keep us running, both socially and literally. Our schools keep us busy and preoccupied. Our programs are great to those who are involved in them, but to those who are left out are simply resorting to the substantially harmful activities that seem to fall into place with the great need of outside material to satisfy oneself. It is like falling off a cliff with no return. Where the sky and ocean become such a brain scattering blue that they are to closely related in hue to tell apart. Avalon is a great place and a horrible place all at the same time just as blue appears to one-person green might to another. When all comes to an end and turmoil is suddenly halted, the youth and adults, together, can make something happen. It is the responsibility of the youth for the input and the responsibility of the adults for the output. It is a vicious cycle that seems to be interrupted whenever/wherever it possibly can be. When a place is filled with as ignorant and naive people as in the town of Avalon (not saying all people) Ideas get shot to hell and as the sky turns blue the oceans turn a deep red that fades in the charcoal black it was before and then into the never ending abyss of tomorrow. This is, my friends, is my own personal outlook. It may not be yours but…Don’t get me wrong. Avalon is a great place to live and a lot better then places as downtown Compton. But as every town does Avalon has its issues and because we are so small they are more apparent than others. -Leon Wood (3 Comments |Comment on this)

11:13 pm	Loads of today was fun... lol. I am extremely tired. I finally decided to do my word wall but never did extra credit. I guess I will have to be content with a B in Rockwell without ever having done Extra Credit. Stupid Algebra is pointless I have that tomorrow too. Today was tiring boring you name it I could probably tell you something like it that it related to. It was very spaztic very up and down. Classes were the same and I still havn't started my essay but hey, it only determines if I pass history or not. Rehearsal was fun and my character shoes are painful but oh well... Life's life gotta deal with it somehow. Until tomorrow people!!! Current Mood: blank (1 Comment |Comment on this)

10:59 pm	So today... Was, well... Another day... It went by really slow starting with stupid ol' music class and ending off with P.E. and one guy to the nurse.(I got a little carried away) My day was kinda boring and hectic. I came home did Homework until I had to fix dinner because my dad is still out. And then dishes, trash the same old thing plus some. Then rehearsal where I did ok, I guess... and I actually learned the dance piece I am supposed to do with Sarah. She is cool and was patient with me on the dancing(It's still new to me) Having that out of my hair was a great relief only to find out that when I got home 2 people called and woke up my father who, might I add is on vicodin and cephalexin, and is very very grumpy. He finally got to sleep and I made it into the house without waking him and the phone rang. It was HORRIBLE. My dad was heated. I ended up having to go to the teencenter to practice our song for the talent show. And then I played some gunbound and here I am now waiting for a response from Christie to determine if she is still alive or not. Pray for health issues of anyone that's in the play and I hope to talk to whoever reads this thing later. -Leon Current Mood: annoyed Current Music: Theme music to Gunbound (Comment on this)

Aside from that I did absolutely nothing today except get pissed off by Ms. Anderson and Rehearsal. Well... Talk to you all tomorrow Current Mood: hungry Current Music: N/A (Comment on this)

10:14 pm	Great WEEKEND! This weekend was so packed but it would never have seemed like it. I had so much fun. From entertaining guests with a guitar at the tours of the houses to swimming all the way to sunday night live. It was great. So here it goes... On friday we got out of lunch early because we only had like 7 people in spanish class so Ms. Anderson let us out early and we had an extended lunch. I ended up staying the night at Mitch's and it was loads of fun. We played some video games then got bored and started throwing cards at each other. Somehow Emily and Jennifer got into the middle of it. Oh yeah also I saw the movie, VanHelsing, It was awesome. Saturday I got a phonecall at mitch's as I woke up asking me to help with the tours of the houses. Well after much running around and not having enough room here to want to type it all out I ended up playing guitar with spencer for 4 hours straight at the wrigley's house for all the guests. It was a blast, except I got the tan, which I call the guitarist tan now, where my shorts had risen up a little when I sat down and I got all sunburn and it is really funny looking. After that Phillip and I went swimming at Jennifer's pool with her and I got even more sunburn. Dinner then back to Mitch's, I spent the weekend there because my dad was sick, where we hung out some more and then Jennifer and Emily came home and we watched movies on the couch. One was pretty good and the other was a piece of crap! That evening went well, up very late and rising kinda early. Gosh it took like 45 min this morning for them to wake me up!!! I just wouldn't move I guess. Church was great, like always, then to lunch at Ning's for mother's day. Then I ran some errands for my dad and Picked up my mom's flowers for mother's day and her birthday.(same day this year) Then I watched a movie and almost forgot about sunday night live. It was a great weekend and I hope more of you would've been around for it. Current Mood: apathetic Current Music: Blindside-Thought Like Flames (2 Comments |Comment on this)

12:18 am	Wow Today, 5-7-04, was a LONG day. It started with having to be at school early and then a boring day all day. History-Movie, Spanish only half our class was there so we got to leave about 45 minutes early. and then English we read and finished some stupid maps. Overall it was a good day and I pray that all the juniors did well on the AP history exam!! Good luck to the volley ball too. After that I went home and then went golfing with Jon. He played the best game of his life and shot in the 30's for the first time. He shot a 38. It was great golf. The movie, Van Hellsing, was an awesome movie and I recommend going to go see it. I am here at mitch's right now being tired of video games and chris' smart ass remarks. I just had Jam with Bread for anyone that that means something too.(lol) Alright well Gnight and I hope this spreads so tell everyone. (Comment on this)

9:45 pm	A day of waste....... I had loads of fun today! well... not really but it was an ok day. Music was the same as always, stupid, lame, only worth it for the credits. lol jk we prepared for the pep rally tomorrow and it was cool. Algebra was a horrible experience. There was noone to talk to because they were either taking ap tests or were home sick. Also, I started doing the wrong section of work and looking for the answers in the wrong section. Ask me how I did it? My name is Leon need I say more? Science was a great time, throwing pencils at the roof laughing at the substitute and work. What's that? I got it done really fast. P.e. was P.E. so nothing to say there. After school I had the ceremony for the intern acceptance and the food was sooo good. They welcomed us with great desire to teach us that it was scary. That all went very well... and I was told that I was the most punctual of the interns. I went to dinner at antonios after that with the hunters and then play practice where I played cards with Phil the whole time. Today was a pretty lame day. :-( Let's hope tomorrow is better!!! ;-} Current Mood: tired (Comment on this)

11:41 pm	Wow Day 3 Wednesday, May 05, 2004 Today... Well... It was a day, that's for sure. A lot of prom talk around. Dresses this, Prom what's that? Man I can't waits, everything about prom all in a day. Kinda makes me wish I was going. Anyways who would want to take me I am just a stupid little sophomore, lol. anyways today... It wasn't all that exciting but interesting was it! It started out with a change of plan in music and we actually played some fun songs for once!!! History went well and the fact that next year we don't have to do a junior thesis is great!!!! Spanish was a pain in the butt!!! Mrs. Anderson couldn't teach something right and she overheard me helping Tommy and so she made me teach the class. It was fun but soooooo annoying. Lunch was nice today, didn't eat anything, but it was nice. English went by really fast I don't even remember what we did. I know that after school I came home to a sick dad and a mom not there. She was at work. My dad is totally grumpy because he's sick and he won't rest up, The stubborn old man!!! Cinco de Mayo celebration was so much fun, I mean the food part. The dancing was really cool too. I had to leave early because of rehearsal which went by really nicely. I missed some entrances because I wasn't paying attention though. After that I rushed down to the teencenter to practice with Eddy and Sean for the talent show. Our song kicks butt. Eddy is pretty cool but I wouldn't want to be hanging out with him all the time for any of those who wonder. God put this wonderful spirit in my heart today and I walked around smiling at people. Some for special reasons and other just because. I really like it, it is sooo much fun. It also boosts your morale. God is great and don't ever forget that!!!! Well... until tomorrow! Love ya all!!! - Leon Hey, I would really appreciate it if you christians out there prayed for my ability to talk with people because I see that skill disappearing and it is bugging me. THANKS Current Mood: accomplished (1 Comment |Comment on this)

11:39 pm	WOW! Tuesday, May 04, 2004 Today was a nice day. It was an odd day at school both in scheduling and my classes. Music went great in the morning though very tedious our horn section finally got the parts down. They are such an awesome group. I found out this morning that Julia Huart sprained her ankle so keep her in prayer. Next I had algebra where we took notes all class which really taught me a lot. Mr. Smith was a little on the grumpy side but hey, it's all good. I had science after that with a substitute which was really a living hell. He had no idea what he was doing so we had to figure it out on our own. P.E. was very fun I took on Mario(one of the teachers) in basketball and they didn't make us run that much today because of the heat. After school I hung out with mitch until like 9 where I then realized I had a practice session I was supposed to be at for the talent show. It was the first time ever hearing and playing the song and we sounded awesome, according to the bystanders. Life is everso growing in christ which is awesome and God really pointed something out to me last night. Patience really is a virtue. I really am so happy right now with what God is doing in my life and in the peoples lives around me. God is awesome. Love you all!!! -Leon Prov-10:29 The way of the LORD is strength to the upright: but destruction shall be to the workers of iniquity. Current Mood: tired (Comment on this)

I simply walked away. Dinner was great, BBQ ribs!!! Overall I just need prayer in the areas of understanding and mental sanity. talk to you all laterz. Pray Pray Pray!!!
