Hey all! Its 11:49 right now, and by the time i finish this it will be well into the next day. I have to wake up for work at 4:00 AM tomorrow and i get off at 12:00.... man, i am getting no sleep. But, just to give everyone a little update. Things have been going well for me. Comming back from college was a bitch, but, the silver lining is shining through and im starting to see all my old bellaire friends again. Just recently I have gotten back to being closer to both rachel and marissa again! All through talking about random shiz that has been going on in our lives..... well, i take that back.. maybe i was always this close to them... or... maybe i just think i have become closer... in any case, they are really cool people and i love them to death. Me and joe have been talking alot and shooting the breeze ever sense i came back. I must say, there is more to Joe that meets the eye. At first glance, its easy to mistake him for a perverted guy who just wants action and will do anything to get it. All men have those feelings, i just think he showed them a little more excevily than most. But, after hang ing out with him a while. I have notcied that he isnt all that. But, im getting the feeling that if i go any farther into this, it will make me sound like a big homosexual... so i wont. But, i just want to say that joe is a cool guy in my book. Alot of nights after I close at work i have been hanging out with Mr. James Mace and just chillin. I have to admit... relaxing at his house is a whole lot better than relaxing at mine... plus, he has a hotter sister!!! j/k.... Work is going well for me.. For those of you who dont know, I have got my job back at academy sports and outdoors and am trying to make as much money as possible. There is almost a whole new staff of peeps working there, so it was a new expeirence for me going back to footwear. But, knowing shoes is like riding a bike and I picked up where i left off quickly. I think the motto for this week has to be "Forget about it!". (yes, i have a motto of the week.. :)) When people graduate high school.. They are all like, "Man, I am so glad to be leaving all the drama behind!" Except, alot of people really do not. The hard task is deeming who starts drama... and who spreads it. If any of the two are you or your friends, then you are not leaving shit. I think gossip is addictive, once some people are exposed to it, they cant get away from it. Not so much get away.. but, cant stand being away from it. Looking back on past conversatoins, I remember having whole long convos with people, that were all about other people and the stupid shit they might have done. And I myself am guilty of this sometimes also. But, its so easy to solve.. Just forget about it... and let shit go the way it does. I know that sounds a little rediculous.. but, if people would stop taking shit so seriously (and im guilty of this more than anyone and i accept that) then alot of confrontations would be avoided and fights would not insue. Recently it has been working on alot of situacions.. Im not as obsessed about making every little thing better. I also dont want to make this time like some kind of revolation i came apon that will solve all our problems.. hell it might not help anyone else.. but, it helped me..and because this is my xanga about my thoughts, i thought i should add it.. lol... I guess this is supposed to be more about my life as in real life things that have happened to me and not what stupid shit is flying through my head. Hell, im probobly going to submit this, read over and be like... what the FUCK were you thinking saying this shit.. but, oh well... heres how my mind works on a rough draft. Last words before i say adios amigos... if you have something against me or anything... just come out and fuckin say it.... no one likes people who run from their problems and tell everyone else about it... or even worse.. people who bottle it up and dont say shit and make me have to guess if they are having feelings of anamosity towards me. I think im a pretty open and relaxed guy who doesnt go awol all the time....people lack communcation. Alright, what ever.. imma goto sleep for 3 hours... peace on the outside all!!!

Ah, a little more into the life of Daniel. Well, really, i should be worried, but im actually in a good mood right now. I should be worried because im still up in the air on weather im going to make a 3.0 this semester. I have been asigned to do an Argumentative essay thats 55% of my english grade.. English right now is a strong B.. so I really need an A on this paper is imma make anything happen. So, one of the requirements and part of the grade is that we turn in an exploratory paper describing the differnt prespectives on our argument. I do so following the guidlines given and am pretty proud of my work. I get it back to see all check pluses next to every criteria.... expecting to get an A i look down at the bottom of the page to see an 83 written there.. with a "Good Job" scribbled next to it. I didnt understand why i deserved this grade so after class I went to the teacher and asked him how he could give me such a low B even though my paper met all the criteria needed. He then tells me that he graded my paper on how he precieved it. He said that after he read it, 83 was the grade that popped into his head, so thats what he gave me. No reasoning behind his thoughts, just, what ever struck him at the time. So, I asked him, sarcastically, what would i have to change to call out 84 to you.... he then got kinda annoyed and was like, fine, you think you deserve and 84.... there you go. I stupidly followed that up by saying I think i deserve an A.... I knew it was time for me to shut up so i took my paper and left. It still doesnt make much senses though how a teacher can just grade by what he "feels" inside. What if he was a pro life person, and someone wrote an argumentative paper on how abortions were good. Now, this could be a superb paper with no errors and presents the topic in a good manner, but, because he has personal feelings towards the subject, the paper will not sit well with him and therefore influence him to give a faulty grade. Thats kinda how this is... Some people got all check pluses.. and got 95's... some got all check pluses and got 78's...The man dileberately incorporated his own opinion into his grading and there is nothing i can do about it. If i were to bring it to someone he would be like, well, you missed a comma there... thats 2 points.... and your sentence structure could be altered here... thats another 4 points.. blah blah blah... So now im like.. "Shit, what am I gonna do!"... but, today was a good day for me in the end... I just got back from The Girl Next Door and loved that movie!! I mean, that guy is living every guys fantasy. Not in the fact of falling for a beautiful woman.. but, a woman that brings out a totally new side in you. Who can make you do things you never thought you could do otherwise. What an awsome feeling to have. But, also.. SHE WAS HOTT!!! And it had a good ending as well.. I definately recommend this movie.. Girls could really take some notes from this!!! LOL!! Ahh, I have to quote myself for once.... I was sitting with Robert just shooting the breeze and Saved By the Bell was on t.v. It was an episode where Zack had to go to the hospital for knee surgery and Lisas mom was the doctor preforming the operation. I told rober that this would never happen in real life because there were no such thing as black female doctors...  Robert turns to me and asks WHY!!??.. and I was like, because they are women... (I think you had to be there, but, it still puts a smile on my face) But, to end my xanga entry.. I would like to go into a thought... based on what i saw on The Girl Next Door, I think its only right that every guy get to go out with at least one amazingly sexy woman. Dont get me wrong, personality is key to a relationship, but, the hotter a girl is... the better the make out session and beyond. Yeah, it needs to be a law.. the government needs to deem woman as sexy or non sexy and so the sexy ones can go around spreading happyness one guy at a time.. HAHA, this is THE most shallow thing I could ever come up with, but, its not fair for an ugly guy to have to endure the pains of less than perfect. At least once, make him feel like king of the world. Again, if i offend you with this... im sorry, its just a stupid thing off the top of my head.. i really dont go too in depth and i am known for just writing what ever im thinking and then trying to justify it.. but, franky.. if you get offended.. I dont care.. dont read my xanga!!!! lol.. alright peace on the outside everyone.... and to all the guys who arnt the sexiest things in the world... goodluck finding the girl!!!
