Feeling great but suffered a loss.

Today, for the first time in quite a while, I feel great. There are a variety of reasons for this. At school, with all my academic courses, I am getting very good marks in my senior year in highschool and am actually learning important skills and developing very strong political views from my fantastic History, English, and Law teachers. I find that I am increasingly getting better at debating issues of current events(possibly because I practice my debating skills on my dad when he is drunk). Another reason why I am in such a good mood is that I feel so healthy and have so much more energy because I have been getting sleep and eating nutricious foods. At least now I will have the energy to cause mischief with some buddys in the neighbourhood. The last reason I can think of for all this positivity is that people have been complementing me on how I have grown in size and height. I even have a boxer that has been working as a boxer/coach in the light weight leagues for 12 years now that has requested me to train him for mass training so that he can go up a weight class in boxing. This, I found was quite flattering.
Here is the tragic news I received late at night on November 14(I always seem to have lots of this). Two days ago, my Grandmother(Claire Brophy) passed away after spending months in the hospital. I never got to see her before she passed and will most likely have lots of regret because of all the great stories I have heard from grievers about my grandmother and not truly knowing my ancestors. In a way, its a good thing that she is no longer with us because I would not have wanted her to suffer the pain. Lately, for some strange reason, even though I am not a believer in religion or a higher power, I have been looking up and having this strange feeling that someone is watching me.
****Anyways, I guess my ecstasy for today has depleted because my parents just came back home and they are screaming and hollering at each other about something that has to do with milk, a phone, and money. I'm gonna go get the goods on exactly what went down here and possibly play some mind games on them. Till next time*****

Missing Old friends

My parents have a habit of moving around to different residential areas a lot due to a number of different variables and situations that cause us to do this so oftenly. This has taken its toll on me because I have never really been able to have friends that I have known for long periods of time which can become lonely when your a teenager. The people I had built close relationships with are now just memory's, they never grow and never change in my mind. Many times I see how other kids in my age group have a significant other or have a group of best friends that mean a world of importance to them and I just cant help but to envy such close nit relationships. The main reason this has been occurring to me lately is that it is almost time for graduation and with that comes a lot of exciting activity's including the ceremony's, pictures, party's, and prom and it hit me that I don't have anyone in mind to take. Now, I reminisce on memory's of childhood where I was 11 years old having made friends with the neighborhood kids and playing "spin the bottle" with the local girls in elementary school(dare was the best game ever). Heck, even when I was 12 years old we had a privately planned formal graduation party with limousines and boat cruises for our group of friends graduating from elementary school. Anyways, I still keep in touch with some of my best friends from "Guildford Park Secondary School" (via MSN) which I had known since grade 5 but it seems we have grown apart in our development of becoming young adults with different interests and hobbies. I miss having good friends like I did back in the guildford area but one good thing about having no out-of-school friends and no social life is that school marks go up which is good being as this is my last year in highschool.
*** I am really pissed off that Bush or "W"(as he likes to be called) won the presidential election! The rest of the "Thinking world" wanted Kerry to win but atleast with bush he does not lie, he is to dumb to do so with a honest face and I can also look forward to a couple more of his famous moronic speeches. With Bush as the commander and chief of the United States Of America it should be an interesting four years in the world. Well its kind of late so I need to finish off what is left of my English and Math homework.***
