The Reaper

Ok, so im not sure if this would be the place for this topic, but here i go. Tonight (about 20 minutes ago) i had a small run in with the police. Nothing big and certainly nothing anyone can get in trouble for jsut be reading this or by having me post this. But the cops pulled Brent, Blake and I out of the car to be searched. While searching me, the cop groped me. NO joke, he grabbed my nuts, not just for like a half a second. But for at least a minimum of 3 seconds. Now if you think about that, thats pretty damn long to be searching someones nut sack. Secondly, after we all got back in the car and he was done searching the vehicle, he asked Brent (the driver) about the "Guys Gone Wild" video in his center console. He was surprised that was there seeing as he just got the car from his sister. Brent explained to him that he just got the car from his sister because his family got a new car all together. The cop looked relieved and told us there was some mascara and makeup under the seat. Brent explained he didnt know anything about that either. The cop stated, and i QUOTE, "Oh. Ok, good. You were scaring me a little there." (he said that jokingly) BUt what he said after wards will make your toes cringe. He said, AND I QUOTE, "Oh good; you're not some fag or anything." (he put an emphasis on the word fag btw) I was about to FLIP OUT at him when Blake turned around and just gave me that look that said "Sit down and don't you DARE say anything." I sat back in my seat quietly and balled the fists at my side. That mother f*cker. I was about to get out and beat the shit outta him. But knowing my record, i knew it was better to not say anything. Now if any of you really know me i HATE police. I cant explain here but i HATE them. So now i ask all of you, what do you think of that?

OMG I LOVED THAT DRESS!! Hehe, although i do have an odd attraction to Nicole Kidman for some reason........*hmmm*

I cant get into some of the blogs (including my own). But dont worry about it, take your time, you guys do enough work to keep this site up and running. *hugs and loves* Ian

ON FIRE by Switchfoot. Your on fire when hes near you. Your on fire when he speaks. Your on fire burning at these mysteries. Gimme one more time around, gimme one more chance to see. Gimme everything you are, gimme one more chance to be near you. When everything inside me, looks like everything you hate. Your the lump I ask for change, you are the only chance ill take. Im on fire when your near me. Im on fire when you speak. Im on fire burning at these mysteries.

NO joke, my bro blake just bought that exact same thing. He's been bugging me all week that he can play WoW and watch his 24 at the same time........*the bastard* Srry i have nothing better to say LMAO.

Tried that before. Im not of legal age to drop out. lol, despite my profile, im only 15. Although i do pass for eighteen (hence me buying smokes)! So yeah, dont think i haven't tried that one before lol. Actually, i told my Assistant Principal today that i hated him and this school....he told me to drop out, and after i replied "Been there, tried that," he was left speechless because i was so serious about it. I HATE school, i think it and "the system" are both wrong and need to kicked out and reformed. But this is not the place or the time to discuss my thoughts on this subject ! SO ill jsut leave it at this.......ive tried getting out of here, and i cant till im eighteen. I hate the teachers i see so often these days, and thats why im becoming a teacher.....just to let ya know. P.S. no disrespect intended....just my thoughts and ideas and ill fight for em till i die lol

I second, third AND fourth that notion. And all of this talk here, is why i want to become a teacher. Ian

Yeah dont fret about it bra. But i did do a fair share of generalizing when i said what i said. You say its all motivation...well if the teachers arent happy teaching what they're teaching, then DONT TEACH ANYMORE!! If motivation is the problem then either get over it, fake it, or dont teach anymore. I have a favorite teacher of mine, i might not get along with her, but shes my favorite. Why? Because she comes to class ready to teach, with a good vibe and happy that shes teaching. I dont like her personally, but as a teacher, shes my favorite because she just gets everyone in a good mood and shes VERY enthusiastic....korny, but enthusiastic lol. So let me rephrase what i said before: Teachers (in general) are not all bad. Good and bad teachers are subjective (just as ANYTHING labeled "good and bad"). BUT, i think we can all agree that teachers who LIKE to teach what they are currently teaching, are generally seen as a "better" teacher than those who dont appreciate what they teach. And IM saying that the MAJORITY of teachers these day dont like teaching what they teach anymore (or they just plain dont appreciate what they're given.....aka a JOB). Ian

Doesn't it suck that its like that? I mean now im not saying its going to change because of a few people who dont fit into the system (like me), but im saying its unfair. Its unfair that life has to be like that, EVEN THOUGH it does work for most of the populous.....*unfortunately* Ian

FINALLY!!! Somone who can BELIEVE ME!!! Im sorry Jamie but your misfortune has just made my day. Oh man, and when i rant on my blog i get things said back to me like you would never imagine. Teachers these days are just not right. SOmething in unbalanced inside them that makes them living, breathing, pathological liars. My history teacher is smart, ill give her that, but WHY ON GOD GOOD EARTH is she teaching us (more everyone else) that Henry Ford was a good and MORAL person?!?! My god, i mean c\'mon, the dude has slaves in his apartment complex......IN THE 1920\'s!?!?! But now im getting off track. But at least ONE person (if not more) can see what im saying. Jamie, imagine 7 of your economics teachers, now put them in Michigan and have them teach me. Thats my school. I get the same teachers who argue FALSE facts and half measure things JUST to get the point across to the other students that they are infallible. They dont know HOW to get the answers (most math teachers will though hehe) so they look at their little \"teachers book\" and search for the answers quaking in fear at the idea of one of their students might surpass them in a race of common sense and eloquent quips. But now im ranting and being a tad mean.....wait, no im not what am i saying. My 8th grade math teacher called me a sponge brain after i corrected her on a math problem. She didnt say sponge brain as my brain taking everything in, but saying that my brain is small, yellow, spongy and squishy. I called her a dumb-ass (not the brightest idea) and i got a call home. Another incident form LAST year. Freshman year of high school, my history teacher gave us an assignment to do. The directions were as follows: \"write a two page paper on how slavery is bad and why it was a good reason that is was abolished.\" Ok first off, i want to say that i dont believe in slavery and i think it was a bad idea....BUT, i think that any and every student should be able to write on EITHER side of ANY story they choose/were given. I was PISSED that i couldnt have the freedom to write about how slavery was good. I dont believe in it but i want the choice to write and have any opinion that i want. SO what did i do? I wrote the most eloquent three page paper on why slavery was good, and why it should be brought back into today\'s society. I got an A+ on the paper and a call home. My point being that Jamie, you are nto alone and i must say that this is EXACTLY why I am against modern teaching/teachers. Ian (and please, if you want to meet my devil of an 8th grade math teacher, come talk to me hehe.......my PARENTS called her \"The Math Nazi\")

Ian is now wearing 7 layers of assorted shirts (minus the two winter coats), 4 layers of shorts and pants, 3 pairs of socks, and two hats with the shades on (of course im rockin the shades at 7 PM......who doesnt?) Its only like 40 degrees Fahrenheit too. "Then why wear so many clothes Ian?" Well, I give off NO body heat whatsoever. I could sit in a chair for two hours straight and when i get up its still cold. All my friends take 5 minutes in my chair and its hotter than the sun!?!?!

How bout these new fangled galleries huh? IDK about you guys but ian is starting to LOVE them. Just figure id throw that out there. Taking new pics for my hardcore gallery, Ian

AHHHH, my town just got mugged by EL NINO!!! NO jk, all our seasons are moving ahead. Somewhere near 2050 all our seasons will move up a slot.....or so i hear. Ian

Wow, to be totally honest (im gonna sound like a n00b here so forgive me) i never knew Alan was gay. I mean ive always like suspected him but i never gave it much thought. As soon as he did that Spy Kids movie, i was like "Yup, hes gay for sure." His husband looks a little out of it in that picture on E!. Feeling out of the loop/a little n00b-ish, Ian

CONGRATS BRO!! Thats pretty badass. Ian

I just hope this gets the worlds attention about how much ignorance and misinformation is being held in the world. Maybe a change will take place? Its inevitable that a change WILL happen, its just a matter of what will spark the fire of pride to shine its light. Ian

Not to be sadistic/a downer, but i like sad endings. Depending on what mood im in, they can make me feel better about my life or they can make me feel all sad and emotional which gets me to start reading another story! IDK, im not sad ALL the time, but when im sad, i like empathy (even from fictional characters ) Who knows, Ian

Idk any books that would be able to help you out in this situation (mainly because i dont read those types of book) but an idea did occur. Its the only thing that came to ind but depending on how old he is, find him a gay friend. Or even join him in a gay club or something. I personally learned a lot about "gay culture" just from having gay friends and those things. Being around gay people is the best way to learn.

I was just at McDonalds and i swear to god, this very bulky woman ordered 2 number ones and then proceeded to get a large diet coke. I busted out laughing and everyone started to stare (no one knew wha ti was laughing at) so i got up and left. It was the funniest thing ive seen all week. I know it sounds mean but c'mon. Why would you order something like 2 big macs then get a diet coke? Does the diet in the coke cancel out all the fat and grease going straight to your inevitable heart attack? It makes me laugh when people do that. But yeah, my new years resolution is to find someone to be with, go back to the gym and go see Incubus on February 2nd (the greatest band on the planet btw). If i dont do that last one im going to kill someone....or better yet book them for 2008 new years house party at my place! That would be so hardcore if i could do that.....hire them to work at some random party i throw for no reason. Yeah....... Ian

I had a great day today. But today led me to think of another day i had two summers ago (or was it three....), it was the single best day of my life. My best friend (who moved to cali), my ex bf Kyle (who left me for a GIRL!!), and i all hung out one day (not that we didnt do that everyday that summer anyway, but okay back to the story). I remember the day like it just happened: I woke up around 12 having an overwhelming feeling that this day was going to be a good one. Adam, right on time, called me just as i finished getting dressed. I said ill ride over (skateboard) and be there in 10 minutes. I left immediately and was there in less than two. I did this everyday so he knew id be there soon enough. Outside on his trampoline is where i found him. We jumped around for a while (backflips, frontflips mctwists, half backs...) and then hit the basketball court while his brother blasted music for us. We decided to call kyle after a landslide game against his brother in basketball. While Kyle took forever to get ready, we went swimming. Kyle came up the driveway and jumped right in, with all his clothes on leaving his bathing suit on the chair. After a few laps of jumping off the roof and the trampoline into the pool, we choose to go to the usual hangout, "The Pharmacy." Got there soon enough and did what we always did. I talked to Laurie, Tom, and Frans while Adam and Kyle stole us some food and drinks (even though we got them for free cus we knew the workers so well LOL). Then we went to the bathroom to gather up the pot. We scrambled for the sink filled with candy bars and Jones Soda's. Kyle had to go home for a while to do something. Adam and I walked back to Adams house and switched off shooting the paintball gun and mastering our skateboard. His mom soon asked us if we wanted some chicken tofu thing. We both slobbered over that then hit the TV for our usual session of Gran Tourismo. Chilled out in his room eating burgers which his brother had just brought us from good ol' Mickey D's. Got half way through a movie when strolls in Kyle. WE got up and went to the garage to chill. We opened up the garage and pulled the trampoline in front of the bball net for some block and shot (longER story). At around 7ish, we went over to the golf course to mess with the golfers (all time favorite past time for us). Adam went home while Kyle and I ate at dinner at my house. Then i went to Adams house to eat dinner again while kyle headed home for HIS dinner. We all met back up at Adams house within the next hour or so. All three of us grabbed our skateboards and rode down to The Pharmacy parking lot. We skateboarded, got into The Pharmacy building (they were closed), messed with the bathrooms (soaping and watering EVERYTHING in sight), sat, talked, laughed and most importantly of all, did it all together. We all spent that night at Adams house ("The Lair"). Us together choose a movie, watched it, played Gran Tourismo, and passed out together. My whole summer was like that. Literally, EVERYDAY was that exact same thing (give or take a few trips to Kroger or something). I dont know what it was about that day, but it was special to me. It was the single greatest day of my life. So as i tell that story i inquire: What was your greatest day ever? Wondering and laughing, Ian (I never liked any of them sexually either so it wasnt that)

(Im a HUGE music buff jus to let you guys know beforehand) Totally forgot about song with no words. Either Beethoven's Third Symphony (the best imo). Or for you music buffs (ME!!), Mahler's 9th symphony (he broke the curse with number 10 (which he renamed to a sonata i believe). Maybe Mendel's 2nd quartet (the name escapes me). I love how words mean nothing till you put something to it.

HOLY CRAP!! This is so cool, thanks to all who devoted so much of their time to do this and to keep the site up and running. AND MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL....EVEN THE ONES WHO STILL HAVE TO XMAS SHOP THIS MORNING (me hehe)!

*I just bought The Doors movie......i LOVE, LOVE Val Kilmer* I found another one for me. Beautiful Day by U2 Ian

Transformers was shot in Detroit a few years ago, like 2003 type time ago. At the time i was just walking around (i lived there for my first 8 years and have a ton of friends still there) and didnt know what they were shooting. They let people walk in the background but they told us all not to make a scene (like a fight or anything) that would look out of the norm for a big town. Not even going to TOUCH on Detroit being anything like a normal big city lol. But yeah, idk why anyone would want to shoot in Detroit. Its not a nice city, and they shot near the big arm/fist statue so its gotta be in there somewhere (damn that CGI editing.....its not gonna be in there lol). But im in the background somewhere in some scene. i cant wait till spider-man 3 and the new superman movie (dont think its out in 07 but oh well). Using parenthesis too much, Ian

I just saw my life's song on a cd! Its Dave Mathews Band's Grey Street. I just saw it and i knew i would forget to do this in the morning so nows the time i thought. Has anyone else ever found a song or a poem or a description that fits your life....perfectly? Ian
