...

If I could I relive those days
I know the one thing that would never change



Every memory of looking out the back door

I had the photo album spread out on my bedroom floor

It's hard to say it, time to say it

Goodbye, goodbye


Every memory of walking out the front door

I found the photo of the friend that I was looking for

It's hard to say it, time to say it

Goodbye, goodbye



Look at this photograph

Everytime I do it makes me laugh

d...

don't you hate when who you think people are aren't who they really are???? god it sucks.......

I may be going to hell in a bucket babe, but at least i'm enjoying the ride

GYM IS AWESOME!!!!! i really can't think of a time when gym has been better. our team is coming together SO GOOD this year, and me and katelyn are rockin out on series, and everyone's motivated and happy and YAY!!!! i wish jill could work out with us, but that ok. i feel like i might actually have a chance at level 9, at least i hope so.so. what is new in the life of kristen. lets see. as of now i am running a 10k run in 3 weeks that i am totally unprepared for. sweet deal man.....well actually it is pretty cool i'm excited!!! not so excited about training, since i already have absolutely no spare time, but i will have to get up pretty early again and go before school.definatley interested in the coffeehouse this week - anyone wanna go with me?!? leave me a comment if you do...so here's my random thought of the day for everyone:i'm sitting in chem, right, and grant was blahing about some random thing, and i started thinking, what are numbers really??? it's some word that someone made up along the way to help people out. and then people start making random equations and using chemicals and whatever. what the hell is the point?!?! you dont need any of that. for anything. you don't need it to survive, you can just live off of nature. i wish the US wasn't so god damn built up. it would be so cool to live on like an Indian reservation or whatever. i'm seriously starting to consider moving to one of those communities that are isolated and make their own food and everything. that's pretty damn cool, and it's a good time too, plus they seem more down to earth and cool. on a completely different note i want to be buddhist, but can't find the time to look into it. that will be a project for another day.sorry for the boring and random post.

once upon a midnight dreary.....

RANDOM THOUGHTS OF THE DAY:

so,
say you're blind. ( this is absolutely NOTHING against blind
people!!!!!! ) think about how differently you would see the
world. it might even be better. you would see people for
who they are, not knowing what they look like, bu only what they ound
like and act like. you would like people not for who they hang
out with or what they wear or any of that other material stuff, but
because you genuinely liked their personality. you couldn't be
racist or discriminant. it couldn't matter to you what is
accepted by society or not - you would have a mind of your own.
clearly it would be a harder lifestye, but just think of all the
possiblities that opens.....

another thing. explain to me how the people who should be the
most accepting are really the most closed off group besides one
other. that just doesn't make sense to me. and it also
annoys me because i have the same views as most of them, but for some
reason they like their group and their group only. you have to
dress a certain way, act a certain way, do certain stuff.
they think they're above everyone, but really they're just as bad as
the people the despise.

a box of rain will ease the pain, and love with see you through.....

so.
I have made it through the 1st week(ish) of school. It's been a
busy busy week. Wednesday I was at Gillete Stadium from around 2
until past 11 practicing for the pregame show. The actual show
was on Thursday, and I missed my first chem and history class for
that. But it was SOO worth it!!!! check out my pictures
(not from here, from my profile) to see some from the show. School
is pretty hard to get back into, but it's not too bad. I haven't
had too much work yet, but I know it's coming. Friday
was my borthday!!! I am finally able to drive, but I haven't gotten my
permit yet. Probably Wednesday. I had some people over
which was fun!! And today I went to my dad's work party which was
pretty fun. I won the donut eating contest with 2 other people,
and me, my dad, and erik won the mini golf tournament. The part
that sucked was that we did tugawar, and the knots had a loop, so I
stuck my fingers in, but it was a slipknot so it closed on my fingers
and they got stuck. It was probably one of the scariest moments
of my life because there was nooo circulation at all and I thought I
was seriously going to lose my fingers. But a guy used a knife to
cut the rope and we got it off. They're huge now, but nothing's
broken that I know of, so i'ts all good. sorry this was a boring
post, but i'm done now, and just thought I would update everyone.

THE PRICE OF STEAK
a pound of beef takes three-quarters of a gallon of oil to produce.

[right page]
weighing
in at 1250 pounds, marina willson's champion steer grandview rebel is
ready for auction at a county fair in maryland. raising this steer has
taken an agricultural investment equal to 283 gallons of oil --
represented here by the red drums. that includes everything from
fertilizers on cornfields to the diesel that runs machinery on the farm.

now really people!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! people need to get a
serious grip. on everything. I've been thinking about it,
andit is so sad/ridiculous how bad stuff has been getting. People
give no thought what-so-ever to bulldozing a good mile or forest for a
field or a house or whatever the hell they want to make. What
about the environment??? all the animals that were living
there??? Roads are getting expanded even farther into forests
just to make it more convenient for everyone else. Rainforests
are getting cut down every day just to clear agriculture, only for
people to discover that the farmlands suck and they can't even use
it. But they keep doing it. Sometimes I really wonder if
there are any brains in there at all. Oil - we're having a huge
crisis with it, but people still use it and everything else so
carelessly. You go somewhere and get a drink, and by the end of
the night you've used 5 or 6 cups, when if you had just taken the time
to hold onto your first one you would have used to much less.
THERE ISNT ENOUGH OF EVERYTHING TO GO ON FOREVER USING STUFF LIKE
THIS!!!! people just throw away cans and bottles - just recycle
them!!!!!!!! And the saddest thing about all or this, is that I
can't do much about it. You can't stop using cars to slow down
pollution, because they are vital in our society now. You can't
stop using factories, because then we wouldn't get everything we
need. And unfortunately, the only way people are going ot learn
is when we run low or run out, like we are now with oil, when it's too
late.
