&lt;p&gt;You see where this leads us?&amp;nbsp; Down a long,&amp;nbsp;harsh path to a place devoid of human expression.&amp;nbsp; Maybe this is the future of the human race created in a digital world, ironic as it is, because the internet was supposed to &lt;em&gt;connect&lt;/em&gt; us (at high speeds!).&amp;nbsp; But eh, what do I know.&amp;nbsp; I'm just a young soon-to-be college student&amp;nbsp;trying to live life how I can.&lt;/p&gt;

Goddamn Steve was yelling because he has to go to an orientation at the school and he can't handle that, plus my house is hot as hell because we closed all the windows so we won't be breathing in smoke from the 5 million+ acres of forest burning in Alaska right now.  So needless to say, i'm tired as fuck.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today is supposed to be ULTRA CLEANING DAY!  Eh.  I'm just waiting to leave for college.  2 sweet weeks.  Oops, 1.5 sweet weeks.  Mmmm.

Plus i found a really really really uber ultra mondo cool blog layout that i know you're DYING to try out.  Uh, yeah.

Xanga doesn't allow name changes right now due to an overwhelming amount of requests to do so, so i'm stuck with nishman686 for now.

Sounds grand!  Today was really good for me.  I learned a lot which will make me famous.  I hope.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I can't wait for college to start.  I miss the east coast!  And night time.  And everyone on the east coast.  Oh funny story, we were at the DMV and my mom was at the counter applying for an Alaska driver's license.  For her birthplace she put Washington, D.C., under City, State.  The lady behind the desk looks at my mom, perplexed, and asks her if it's in "Canada, or something?"  I swear to god, fucking CANADA?!  She seriously had no idea that it was the capital of the United States of fucking America, bitch!.  Go American education system!  Anyway, it was funny when i was there, and i'm horrible at telling funny stories.  So fuck you!  :-)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm out of things to say, and i'm sure you're bored.

    <content type="html">sitting here on the computer in the library with nothing to do for an hour.  Maybe i should study...NOT!!  Heh.  I'm sorta running out of things to do online, since we're in a library, etc and i can't play games or anything.  Uh.  Yeah, i'm that cool.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dodgeball was a disappointment last night.  Not Ben Stiller's best work.  And uh, the part after the credits?  Unnecessary.  And if you missed it?  You are a lucky, lucky person.  (We only stayed because this kid in front of us said there was a funny part afterwards.  How wrong he was.)  So i'm gonna go now and figure out something to do.  Bye bye.</content>

    <content type="html">that's how long i have until my next class!  woot.  they're keeping us real busy over here, 3 hours of rehearsal in the morning, plus various afternoon classes.  It blows by quickly.  Tonight i'm seeing dodgeball with some friends!  They're leaving on Friday to go back to Georgia, which sucks cause they're cool people.  But eh so goes the army.  I'm gonna go do other things now.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I love you Amy :-)</content>

    <content type="html">&lt;p&gt;this must be short, i have much work to do.&amp;nbsp; I just finished my first day at the Univ of Alaska Music Festival and i have only one thing to say: i definitely chose the right profession.&amp;nbsp; Opera rules!&amp;nbsp; You may begin your ridicule, which i will proceed to ignore :-)&amp;nbsp; Most of the other kids...uh, participants are in their 20s or older, so i'm kinda out of place in that sense.&amp;nbsp; But otherwise it's fun.&amp;nbsp; Met lots of great singers and teachers and i can't wait to go to college and meet more.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Well, i've decided to practice really hard (as i recently told amy, whom i love dearly *kiss*) and so i'm going to go do that.&amp;nbsp; The computer will no longer control my life!&amp;nbsp; HAH!&amp;nbsp; Miss you guys.&lt;/p&gt;</content>

    <content type="html">&lt;p&gt;i'm in alaska and i found a computer!!&amp;nbsp; I'm gonna make this short because this is a public computer and i've been hogging it for about 20 minutes.&amp;nbsp; This will be one of perhaps several intermittent entries i'll make until i move into my new house and set up my computer with a working internet.&amp;nbsp; We're moving in July 28, so it'll probably be a week or two after that.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I want to let everyone know that I miss you all extremely :-(&amp;nbsp; It's lonely up here.&amp;nbsp; We (me and steve) have yet to meet anyone our own age.&amp;nbsp; But there are a lot of 13 year olds...i mean they're fun, right?&amp;nbsp; *blink*&amp;nbsp; Actually there's some sort of church-organized activity on Wednesday so we're gonna go to that, maybe organize a little game of ULTIMATE FRISBEE!??&amp;nbsp; Who knows.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;FYI we're 4 hours behind.&amp;nbsp; And there is 24 hours of daylight.&amp;nbsp; So everything is really, really screwed up.&amp;nbsp; It's cool!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Until yesterday smoke had covered the entire area due to forest fires that are still burning.&amp;nbsp; So far the fire has claimed almost half a million acres of land.&amp;nbsp; Luckily, the wind changed direction so we're not getting any more smoke.&amp;nbsp; The weather is great!&amp;nbsp; I kinda miss nighttime though.&amp;nbsp; Ah well.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Okay i think some guy is waiting to get on the computer, so i'll sign off.&amp;nbsp; Like i said, i miss you guys a lot and I can't wait to get back to the East Coast and visit you all in college, woot.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I love you Amy :-)&lt;br&gt;And i love you friends, you're all the best.&lt;/p&gt;</content>
