Ok, this is like remember friends from high school weekend or something. I just finished reading some of Ryan’s Blog. I LOVED the quote he left at the end of his Blog. I think that is why the two of us will be (PLEASE GOD) successful one day.
Don't ever listen to those who tell you it can't be done. Pity them for their lack of vision; be more successful than anyone thought you could be. Then, look back on those who said it was impossible and remember. Always be Recklessly Optimistic.
I haven’t spoken with Ryan since, gosh, this summer? It’s been a while. I need to give him a call. I will never forget the generosity of his family during our senior year of high school. Every Monday I would stay at their house. They invited me to become apart of their family, and to them I am forever grateful. With out knowing it, they showed me how a loving, educated family should be. Thank you.
Keeping with all the theme of high school, I also haven’t talked to Joel in a long time. We spoke on messenger a week ago. I told him I would call him and we would catch up, I would call him, but thanks to Cingular, my new phone doesn’t work down here. It’s hard to call people.
Alright, well I have to finish my laundry and good stuff.
Good day!

The following is a message from Jessica, a very near and dear friend from middle school and high school. She posted this message about me on her blog. I would like to thank her for the kind words - she almost got ME to CRY. WOW...

My Sweetest, Truest, Bluest, Gay Best Friend....
Current mood: nostalgic
Dear Readers,
Tonight as I was wondering around aimlessly on MySpace I found myself clicking on the photo of a dear friend of mine. Only to find how lovely and divine his new layout looked, (it's fabulous dear, truly). And I found myself immersed in all the pictures and the posts and the blog. I just wanted to say how much I love him and miss him. Our visits with each other have become very few and far between. Which saddens me to a great extent. I left the florescent lit hallways of RHS nearly 4 years ago only to go to another school in which I dropped out and got my GED. Being that he lived not exactly close, and neither of us having a car or a liscense, seeing each other was a possibility that was limited. But tonight looking at his pictures and seeing that big, familar, comforting smile I was reminded of how much happiness one person can bring into someones life without even trying. From 7th grade, defending his straightness to fellow classmates, only to be proven wrong Senior year, to proudly supporting his election to be class treasurer with a certain pink-wearing-annoying-laughing girl, to parading around Junior prom together, the only inter-racial couple there not allegedy dating (how scandolous!), to learning on Christmas Eve his actual sexual prefrence, to graduation, then off to college, and whimsical conversations full of laughter, BIG cases of nostaliga (well, maybe only on my end....) and everyday news to catch up in each others lives. Thinking about all this, just makes me realize how much I miss him and love him and don't tell him often enough. I just wanted to let him know in my own way that though we defnatly do not keep up to date with each other as much as we used to, he is a bigger part of my life than he knows. Some of my best memories from school were created with him by myside and that infectious laugh ringing in my ear. And many the times when I needed a shoulder to cry on or a soul to confide in, he fit the bill in a way not even my closests girlfriends could. Now he's off at school, being a big shot editor for the school newspaper and making loads of friends and succeding in life and doing all the things he talked about doing when we were in school. I admire him so much for the great tasks he has accomplished. He has a drive and determination unlike no one else I have met. When he sets his mind to something, by Gayness it gets done! And he's always willing to lend any body part, (some body parts to certain people *wink wink nudge nudge*) mainly an ear or a shoulder when needed and giving advice the best only way he knows how to give it. No one else has walked in his shoes but him, and very seldom have I ever heard or seen him complain about where he's come from and who he's turned out to be so far.
You my friend, are an amazing and magnificent person.
I love you with all my heart just for being you. For being the only person you know how to be. I just wanted to let you know.
I love you Miguel and you will always be a part of my life. (Wether you like it or not :P)
The Only White Girl You'll Ever TRULY Love,
Jessica
PS: I look forward to having many inter-racial babies with you and letting them reek much havoc on the poor, innocent civilians of Roswell. Mahahaha.

This was my reply:
WOW - I don't know what to say. I think you actually have me speechless (which we all know NEVER happens). Those were SUCH kind words, and I do thank you. Gosh, is that a tear I feel? You might have made me cry! GURLLLLL!!! AWWWWLLL, and I do love you also. I do remember the good ole' times spent at the schools of Roswell. Mrs. Winter's class 7th grade (I still can't do math!!) to Mr. Allen's English Class - INDENT DAMMNIT! Those were the days, and I guess I do have a way delivering news - on Christmas Eve. Gotta love it! THANK you for the kind words Miss Thang!
Love ya!

Its morning and I still hate the world a little bit. I think I’m bi-polar. Wouldn’t that be funny if I were? HAHA….ha
Yeah, so its ten minutes before my Theatre Appreciation class starts. I think I’m going to go and have a little chat with Dr. Seward and Dr. Fisher. They always make me feel better about the world and humanity. Great people.
Go take a look at Myspace: http://www.myspace.com/zack6677
Fun times.
Another Day.
The countdown still remains: 17 days
Good day!

F it. I’m going on strike. Nice guys DO finish last. I guess I need to start becoming an a hole or something to get a little attention. Geesh! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Ok, I feel better, well just a little.
It’s 2 in the morning. I should have been in the bed two hours ago. Hopefully my sleeping habits will return to normal when I go back home this summer. Well actually, my sleeping habits have never been that good. In high school I would go to bed at like 12 or 1am and a few hours wake up at 4:15 in the morning, and then get on the bus at 5:06. I did that for six years, so maybe that’s why I can’t get a lot of sleep in one day. My body just won’t stand for it.
I think I’m going to turn straight. Where do I sign up?
Things to keep in mind this week:
-It’s most over
-I can take medication for this
-It won’t always be like this
-John Legend is fierce
-My mom rocks
-I need a place to live if I end up going to Southern
-I wish UGA would hurry up with their decisions
-My Butler project is due Thursday – I’m scared
-My weekend will be spent at the radio station and in the newspaper office busting my @$$ trying to get this last edition out.
I’m out.
Countdown: 17 days left.

Hey hey!
I’m back. Did ya miss me? Probably not, but who cares. SOOOO since I’ve gotten back from Spring Break I haven’t had time to think, sit, crap, eat, sleep. It’s all been about school school and more school. Well I’m done with tests in all my classes – until finals of course, so I had a little time to breathe this weekend, but not too much. My book report is due in Butler’s class and I still have more edition of The South Georgian to put together.
So, where do I start…?
Here’s like a month’s recap on meh life…
Spring Break
Fun times. Went back home to the Atl to work at Barnes & Noble and get some money. Went to see Milo’s play (what I thought would be a potential love interest), Into the Woods. It was a good play. Brandon went with me (thank you). I met Milo after the play and it was a bit awkward. We hadn’t met before and he was still the play mode and didn’t know I was going to be there. We talked for a bit, Brandon and I left and hung out for a while. I worked, hung out with Jenifer, got a new cell phone (that doesn’t work down here in South Georgia), worked some more. Did I mention that I had to pay the federal government $341 and the state of Georgia $71 for taxes? The school didn’t take out taxes last year when I worked so I had to pay it all back. Bitches. Let’s see, Milo and I were supposed to hang out Thursday night, I thought it was going to be just me and him, but it ended up being half of Atlanta, so I didn’t get to spend much time, or really talk to Milo. Basically, he’s not in the potential category. I went to church, saw all of those folks for the first time in a long time. I love how when I go to church everyone comments on how fat I’m looking. Praise the Lord. OH OH, I can’t believe I almost forgot like the most exciting part of Spring Break. I got to hang out with Michael at Morehouse College. I went and hung out at his dorm Monday night. He took most of my cds and burned them to his laptop (oh, and this is the Michael from wayyy back a long time ago, see entries from Spring of 2003 for back history if you care that much, which you probably don’t, I still love ya though – ok, who am I writing this to. This journal sounds like an episode of Lizzie McGuire. I heart Hillary Duff. Alright back to issue at hand.). I left his dorm around 2am—not fun when I had to wake up at 7am for work. Tuesday night I ended up hanging out at his dorm room, but I was smart and spent the night. Enough said. That was my spring break. Nothing to exciting, but its Miguel’s life.
Post Spring Break
Let me just hit on the highlights… Had tests in every class, almost killed myself. Stopped going to Weight Watchers (I like eating hamburgers damnit! And who ever I end up is just going to have to DEAL WITH IT! So HA!), had NO money because of the government, found out I was nominated for Best All Around. OH, speaking of Best All Around, I won! YAY…Samantha N. and I won for Male and Female Best All Around for 2004-2005. Two black people, who’d a thunk it?! I also won the Theatre Award, which I was VERY happy and excited about. Dr. Seward presented the award to me and had some really nice comments to say about me. I got to present the first annual Students’ Choice Award (Teacher of the year) to Dr. Butler. That was fun. That’s basically what’s been going on. Nothing major or earth shattering…
The Colleges
So I still have NO clue where I’m going to be next fall. UGA STILL has not sent out letters of acceptance or rejection to transfer students yet, so I have no idea. A couple of weeks ago, I went to Georgia Southern with Samantha N. and toured the campus. I really enjoyed the atmosphere of the campus. I won’t be too upset if I go to Georgia Southern next year. Adam C. showed me around the newspaper offices and the radio station. If I go to Southern, I’ll probably spend my days in the newspaper room and in the radio station—hopefully. I saw Elliot (a guy from high school) at Southern. I didn’t get a chance to see Kori or any of those guys. I didn’t have enough time. Meh for having to get back to school.
My personal life
As of right now, I’m feeling an assortment of emotions at the moment. Panicked, frightened, stupid, loneliness, happiness, depression, glee. I don’t know - I’m a big ball of stick emotions. I’ve been talking to Douglas for a while, but I’m learning to be cynical and not expect too much for the situation. I’m letting it “flow.” Whatever that means. I don’t let things flow, I’m a Type A control freak. We shall see. OH, this past weekend was exciting. Friday night I went to Relay for Life. Jake and I did a puppet show about a puppet with cancer. Sad, I know. Saturday I went to the movies and saw the Amityville Horror with Sam, Catie, Mark, Drew, Ashley, and some girl I didn’t know. I would never have thought that all of us would be in a setting together again, but we were, and it was funny. The movie was good. We all then went to Ruby Tuesday’s; minus Ashley and the girl I didn’t know. After we ordered, Pete showed up. We talked, ate, spat out witty remarks – a good night all in all. After dinner, a few of us went to Wal-Mart to help Mark pick out a present for his six year old sister. I don’t think I’ll want kids until I’m 30. Maybe then I’ll be able to get married ANYWHERE IN THE FREAKING US. I’m not going to get on THAT issue right now. (Can you tell I’m a little “off the chain” right now? Probably not, it’s all in my head). I spent Sunday at the radio station working and reading my book for Butler’s class. Yay. I talked to Caitlin today and she told me that she signed a lease at these wonderful apartments in Athens, and that if I get accepted I’m welcome to move in. SWEET. CROSS YOUR FINGERS FOR UGA!!!
The return of the list!
Things I have observed, or things I’m thinking of at the moment:
-I LOVE John Legend. A new purchase of mine.
-Grey’s Anatomy is the shiznit.
-I just said shiznit.
-Did I spell that right?
-I researched how much I’m expected to get paid after college, and my major is like at the bottom of the list for pay for new graduates. Wonderful. I’ll STILL be poor after all this work.
-Our dear President resigned after 23 years – very sad.
-One more issue of The South Georgian where I will be Editor – it’s been a fun ride.
-I’ve learned so much about my self and people while living in this small town, Douglas now owns ¼ of my heart.
-I’m not good at math.
-Drew is a nice person – too bad it took me this long to get to know him.
-My feet hurt.
-My mom didn’t come to Honor’s Day.
-My whole family is coming to graduation – I think.
-I hope I pass College Algebra.
-eh
Alright, my fingers hurt and I think this is an adequate enough post. I don’t feel like going over this, so there are probably lots of mistakes, but it’s 1 in the morning and I’m tired.
Countdown: 18 days left.
