i wonder if anyone still reads this? hmm

psh the past week was kind of a blur I suppose. I hung out with Bob and Sebastian....two people you don't really want to mix together. I attempted to call mike the two days before but I still get taht same leave a message deally. Let's see.....I saw the day after tomorrow which was an okay movie I suppose. Uh has anyone seen those movies where you want to cry? Yeah this one made me realize how much we take our world for granted. And then there was Cool Runnings....when they all tipped over and didn't move for awhile....but heroicly carried the bobsled to the finish line. And in Angel's in the Outfield when the pitcher is struggling, the crowd starts doing that thing with the arms that I suppose is the signal for an Angel to come....And then in that movie Rudy when they all want Rudy to play, so the crowd stands up and starts chanting "Rudy, Rudy". He then goes in for the last seconds of the game sacking the quarterback and was carried off the field...Has anyone ever felt like crying to these? They aren't sad cries they're just cries of happiness I suppose. Uh. I've been skating a loooooot....maybe too much. I think there is something wrong with my ankle...it's starting to hurt a lot more since I last hurt it. Anyone going out this weekend? I'm tired of making a fool of myself in front of crowds of 32. And I want to go out on an 80's run....where me and whomever would like to join drive around in a car bumping 80's tunes and dance our asses off...member mike?? haha peace.

Anyways, hopefully today I' be able to hang with Mike or something..hhaha and on Sunday some people are going to Disneyland, but I'm not a fan of the whole D-World so maybe I won't go. Whateva good night

from the LA Times
Long Vigil for Peace Grinds On
Alhambra street-corner activists press a 17-month battle for hearts and minds

By James Ricci, Times Staff Writer

"Knots of teenagers formed at benches close to the demonstrators. Some played Hacky Sack, kicking a small fabric orb among them. One group of girls teased one another in high, tittering voices. A slender boy clattered on his skateboard among the protesters, doing tricks and making exaggeratedly graceful hand signs."

"The skateboarder, 17-year-old Ryan Beckstein, balanced on his conveyance and pondered his feelings about the peace demonstration.

"I kind of support them because the government isn't telling us the truth," he said at last. "I don't like it when people throw stuff at them. They're not causing anyone any harm."

Beckstein took his leave. He scooted up Garfield and nearly wiped out trying to glance off a fire hydrant on the skateboard."

Am I slick or what?? "A slender boy".... hahah lates!

I took this from xredboyx..this describes yesterdays events a tad better than what I said hahah.

Sun, 28 Mar 2004 17:34:02 GMT

I can't take this anymore. My aunt passed away yesterday. Fuck this if life could worse it would. Yeah and I told my alibi to someone else... God.

Sun, 21 Mar 2004 21:16:08 GMT

Damn. I'm in such a fucking bad mood. I never cuss but today I've just been too frustrated! I mean every stupid thing I heard from people so far I've went off on them. It's not like me. I honestly don't like this feeling :\ Ack. I need some motivation or something.

Update (1:52) Scratch the last feelings kinda. My mother said it's cool if I go to the Rx Bandits show for sure now.. They added a second show too the next day and my momma said "Go for it". Thanks mom for making my day that much better.

Tue, 16 Mar 2004 01:35:34 GMT

The past few days (well week) have felt unreal. I can't believe this is happening.

Mon, 08 Mar 2004 05:51:48 GMT

Hair Cut :\

It's cool I guess, I only did it for my mom. And yes I'm a mother's boy. Well this weekend only consisted of skating in some damn hot weather. My highlight was heelflipping a gigantoid 7 stair at my school. Seems cheesy but when the video comes out you might be impressed. might.

Sat, 06 Mar 2004 05:46:48 GMT

Today was funny...kinda. It involved a lot of running, the cops/school security, 30 skaters and some more running. Twas insane.

Tue, 02 Mar 2004 04:11:26 GMT

That's me after the harsh weekend.

After a few days of bad bad bad luck, I called up my mother from school and told her I honestly don't want to be there. She called the office and gave them permission to let me out early (8:30). I was surprised at that moment. Anyways, I ended up going to Hollywood via bus. The funny thing was that my friend Luke was ditching, so he ended up going with me. Taking that subway train deally was fun, I need to do it often. And it beats driving....kinda. Well we ended up walking around Hollywood High School, going to In N' Out, ending up on City Walk, meeting some crazy chicks, getting told not to re-enter the train because the train is out of control, and listening to a guy ramble on about how ugly Mrs. Bush is. It honestly was a great day, I have to admit. I told my mom everything that went down and she said "Good". My mother is great.

The past few days have been downhill for me. Friday the car broke down, and after 2 hours of waiting without ANY money or any phone access, someone thought it would be cool to help us out after a long wait. The next day (Saturday) I got stranded in Pasadena, which was pretty lame. Today was the worst of all though..kinda. I resprained my damn ankle. I think someone upstairs doesn't like me at all. My word, everything is going bad for me =\ Whateva

Thu, 26 Feb 2004 04:51:53 GMT

Yeesh. Stayed home Very sick yesterday. Went to school today feeling like shit. Of course it started to rain just to make it a little more worse just for me. Whatever. I'm feeling a little better though, so that's good. I hope it clears up by Friday, I really want to skate because my ankle is better! Yeah Good Night.

IM BORED

Thu, 19 Feb 2004 23:53:09 GMT

Oh my. Today was such a great day. I got my schedule rearranged finalllllly. I've got easier teachers, which doesn't really matter, and I met sooooo many cool new people in my new classes! The only class that still sucks is chemistry, but whatever.
On that note, although probably the most 2 people will respond, if anyone wants to do something tomorrow, just let me know! I'm tired of going to Pasadena and freezing if you know what I mean. I'll update later

Thu, 19 Feb 2004 06:38:33 GMT

Today wasn't all that great, it was very gloomy. I wanted to put my first pic up just for giggles. Good night everyone.

Wed, 18 Feb 2004 07:00:49 GMT

twas a very awkward day.

I arrived at school at a respectable 7:45 A.M. I walked to our library to look for a book needed in my English when suddenly..BAM! I'm up against the wall slowly sliding to the ground seeing black dots. Next thing I know, I'm in the nurses office on the phone calling the Doctor's to see if my mom is okay. I hang up the phone and throw up in the trash can next to the nurse's desk. She tells me to go home. As I walk to the car, I stumble once again, but this time I'm caught by one of the security people. I wake up on a bed in the Nurse's office shaking and gasping for air. Next thing I know my mother is in the doorway helping me up into the car. I arrive at home and take a well deserved rest. What went on today, I have no clue or idea.

I'm in a good mood friends. I just hung out with Johnny from Ireland!! It's been a little more than half a year since I've seen the good old chap. He looks different because he shaved his head! I was waiting to see his fro, but whateva. Hopefully the tree group can unite this weekend for Johnnyfest 2K4, it'll be awesome ladies.
And tomorrow I'll make my comeback and try to skate. My heel is a lot better now, so I can try the pancake deal again. I just hope that nothing bad happens just as it did the day my ankle swelled up soooo bad. You had to be there.
Good Night

Tue, 03 Feb 2004 04:39:41 GMT

Alright. Today I went to the doctor's office to see what's going on with my ankle. It's just a severe sprain thank God. But they did this weird thing where they stuck a needle in my ankle and sucked fluid out, it was quite gross if you ask me. Then they gave me crutches which suck because it's raining outside! My word it's going to be a hard day tomorrow. I hope there are nice people who might want to help me with my bag, if not I'd be unhappy. Anyways, I got myself a digital camera, and I'd put pictures up but I don't know what to do, I'm camera illiterate. So until then deal with the man behind the words.

Sun, 01 Feb 2004 20:19:11 GMT

Ugh I was having a great day yesterday, skating with the crew and relaxing..I just recovered from the pounding my legs took 2 weeks ago from skating. Sooo I figured why not try something new? I go to Tre a grassy gap and it feels and looks like I've got it down. And as soon as my hopes arise and I actually think I can do something cool, I sprainbruisetwist my ankle. I can barely walk around on it. I mean my ankle is the size of a freaking pear if you know what I'm sayin'. It's simply sickening. Although I'm injured, I still made attempts to go to Pasadena to see what I can throwdown. Reality checked in. I can't walk. And the funny thing was my friend matt (the camera guy) and I were carrying all of the bags! Slaves for Society. =( This is quite embarassing, I haven't been this hurt since freshman year when I seperated/fractured my collar bone.

Twas a pleasant day today for me! Twas a pleasant week for that matter! I don't know what it is or why it happened, but I've been in such a great mood this week. My confidence level has risen, my mind has been enhanced, and I'm in top physical condition! I think it's probably because of some friends I made a few weeks ago at school: Luke, Athina, Briana, Sandra, Gabby and Nicole. They are the raddest during/after school friends I have at San Gabriel right now! They have made my life at San Gabriel a lot better. I like to try to walk them to class..but when we reach their class they end up following me to mine. Then they like to walk me to the corner where I wait for the ride that never comes. And I try to get them to play hacky sack but it never works out because they kick it way too hard! Fun Times =)
I just got back from San Gabriel. Not for school purposes, though. I had been working on a new trick on my skateboard at school. I didn't land it unfortunately, but as I was leaving Athina, Sandra and Gabby arrived! We hung out for a few minutes which inspired me to go back to the pancake and try my trick again. Unsuccessful again, but I'm glad I tried, and I will continue to try as many times I can on that stupid pancake.
Tomorrow will hopefully be a night in Old Town with Sebastian, Mark, Danny, Matt and a few others I suppose.
Oh yeah, check out http://www.societyskateboarding.tk I'm in there somewhere. Video out soon..I suppose.
And next Friday, I'm going to try my hardest to get money so I can go with Mike to the show. So far, I've got $4. Imma try my hardest to go bra, cuz it sounds like you really want me to go. On that note I wish you a good night.

Mon, 26 Jan 2004 20:43:29 GMT

Boy am I glad we had the day off today. I would've been pissed and tired if I had to go today. Finals sucked..but I know I did good so it's cool. Not much to talk about, so I'm going to head off to skate for a while. If anyone wants to hang out Friday or Saturday, I've got this thing they call a car and a license..so talk to me if you want to go somewhere!! Goodbye
