Wow. Haven’t written on here for a LONG time. Wish I could think of an excuse, like not have time, but seems like time is all I have lately. I have winter break all this week, and I don’t have to work until Thursday. Two days this week of work… two days last week..two days since New Years:(…not complaining about not working…but I’m not exactly rolling in the big bucks right now. Regardless, I’m trying to save up to buy an iPod Touch.
What to say next. I’ve been working a lot the past two days on the 30 Hour Famine. I’m pretty excited, hopefully it’s a lot of fun…For one fundraiser we are doing we needed a toilet. Found a free PINK TOILET yesterday on Craigs List yesterday. I emailed the guy and Jackson went to pick it up today:) I’ve also been working on stuff that we are doing in Youth Group this week. Emily and Abby probably wont be there so hopefully me, Jamie, Jackson, and Lukas can get all of the work done that needs to get done!
I’m super excited for Dutch Suppers coming up next weekend. Always have so much fun there and get to eat some pretty awesome food. Hopefully me, Emily, Sam, Amber and Jackson are all at the same tables helping!!
This weekend is the musical at SGHS. Beauty and the Beast. That should be good..hopefully.
So last week I went to the doctors because I have been getting headaches for a long time now. I had to get an MRI 3 days ago. Today my doctor called me into his office and told me I have a brain tumor…Consequently, I waited too long to go to the doctors and now its too late for them to do anything. He gave me pain pills but said I only have about 7 months to live=/…I have to admit, I’m really freaking out right now. There’s so much I want to do with my life before then…I have to tell everyone how I feel, travel to Europe, Skydive…all the cliche fun stuff..you know??
Oh my..I’m just kidding. I had to make sure you were still reading..and my “you” I mean all 2 of my Tumblr followers. I don’t have cancer..or a tumor…truth is, I don’t have a life so have nothing better to write about…but I do have a headache.. haha…probably because I’ve been on Facebook the majority of the day…I really have to try to make plans for tomorrow so that this doesn’t happen again.
Well, I suppose that this will be all for now..
Have a great day:)

Hey, It’s Monday, 2nd of November and I’m sitting here trying to find the right words to say but I honestly feel like it has to come out. I decided to leave Racing Kites and this is probably one of the hardest decisions I have ever made in my entire life. Ever since I was a little kid I’ve always wanted to put out a record, tour, see the country, play in front of thousands of people and I can proudly say I have done that, i’ve slept on floors, i’ve slept in the van, been broke, you name it, we’ve done it. I’m sure this may come as a surprise to a lot of you and to some you saw it coming. Lately I’ve been extremely unhappy with the band and how I wish things could be different but I just couldn’t fake it anymore, those of you who know me, know I’m real and you can tell by my actions if something is wrong. I’ve worked so hard to push this band to the next level, often broke because I didn’t have a job, all I did was sit on my computer and worked publicity for the band, thought of new marketing ideas, spent countless hours writing new music. When my friends and family noticed my actions they approached me, I told them the truth and after having a few heart to hearts I decided it’s best to move on and do something else with my life. Racing Kites was a big chapter in my life because we’ve done so much that a lot of bands dream of doing from touring, being in magazines, shot a music video, radio shows, getting label offers, etc, A lot of you ask, why didn’t you sign? non of us were desperate to be on a label, we wanted to be part of a family and when things seemed far from it, we turned it down. Everything Racing Kites did was done on our own and I wanted to thank the fans for being so supportive, without you we would have no van, no trailer, no money to do anything and it’s all because of you that we survived in this industry for as long as we did but sometimes you feel the need to move on. I know the rest of the guys feel burnt out and I don’t think Racing Kites will continue but who knows, I wish them all best of luck in their future endeavors and I’ll miss the good times grinding it out on those long 15 hour drives just to catch the next show. Thank you to everyone who’s ever supported this band and our dreams, we can’t even begin to express the gratitude. I can sit here for days and days and list all of you but you know who you are, it’s been a journey but unfortunately it’s time for this chapter to end. Thank you again, I love you all so much.

Well this was posted forever ago and im just adding some now..lol
honestly when i read this i was really upset.. i remember the first time they came up and started talking to me while i was in line to see one of their shows.. they were SOO nice=) i listen to the literally everyday and plan on to for a long to.. im going to miss new music from them..but i really wish all of them best of luck with everything that they do in life… they have produced such great music.. Thanks Racing Kites=)
finally time to write about the Chameleon Club=)
Well, lets start things off simply. Of course, i went to the chameleon club for one main reason. The right coast. duhh. New Found Glory was a plus.and that other band.. was okay, though their fans were douchebags!!!!…
so i got there. ugh i never fit in at places like this.. im pretty sure i had the least number of piercings.. along with the fact i was one of the only ones there that knew what deodorant was.. (seriously. these people in front of us.. our eyes would LITERALLY water if we got too close=/ eww)
The Right Coast opened=) they were AMAZING. brandon was sick and losing his voice he still sounded fabulous. some eric (i think that was his name?) was taking over for jason. (good..but creeped me and my sister[and probly everyone else for that matter] out)… i sang along to all the songs..unlike 99% of the other people there that had no clue who they were. (sad for them)
Some other band was next. i dont remember what they were called…i do remember their groupies.. you know the kind, the type that is a foot taller than you but still proceeds to push thier way to the front and then mosh..not the nice moshing either.. the kind where their fists are a centimeter away from your head and their feet are constantly kicking the side of your face..hmm it was fun tho
New Found Glory..finally came on stage after us waiting for over a half an hour.. things really got crazy then….um. punch in the stomach. punch to the back of the head. kicked in the shoulder and punched at various other spots. they played 24 songs..they sounded really good.
Orange soda time..becoming a Chameleon Club tradition to get orange soda after each show=)
got home around 11…after the GPS decided to take us through the ghetto of lancaster and the hood of downtown york..instead of the highway…
so today. im still alive=) a few black and blue marks and some still starting to show up. ugh my stomach still hurts just to breathe sometimes=) haha
i had a blast. wouldnt have traded it for anything
Gas-$10
Dinner for me and my sis-$10
Parking-$5
2 Tickets- $40
Bumps bruises amazing music and lifetime memories- Priceless
blogging..seems like a new thing since i haven’t done it in a while
i’ve been rather busy. the doctors prescribed me to a new medication. now i dont run into walls anymore.the only symptom is that i fall over onto the floor sometimes..not sometimes..a lot. the doctor said he may be able to put me on a new med later next week to help me stop from falling over.. but that one may make me twitch every time i have to sneeze. and he says that may kill more brain cells..mom says i cant lose anymore brain cells, i’ve lost too many already. dont feel that way, its a chance im willing to take. i say hand over the medication… yummm medication!!!
ok, so for whats really been going on, i’ve actually been sick for the past week..blahh. myron left wednesday=/..iz strr8… today me jess and emily went to the galleria.. we people watched. it was great.. one girl was running and fell..slid across the floor…jess helped her up..another little girl got her foot stuck in the railing…lol we watched these two guys for like 20 minutes. then they walked away..we went back later to the gum ball machine and got some skittles.. when we walked away one of those guys shook the skittle machine and tried to get some of the skittles we paid for!! lol it was funny… then we went to the halloween store. das str8 then old navy. emily saw this guy she thought looked like Curran from TRC.. he didnt but w/e they followed us for a while..or maybe the other way around.. emily and jess were really liking them.. then they walked past with girlfriends…i laughed hysterically after i took a long moment of silence at how funny the moment was.
I know he will never read this.. but i would like to take a moment to thank ALEX from RACING KITES… for making his video blog about miley getting her tweets back… it was great.. I love all of ALEX’s blogs haha always enjoy reading them.
Can’t wait for THE RIGHT COAST/ New Found Glory concert on monday night(also Alex, thank you for planting a tree today) at the Chameleon Club=)
Well this was a rather long blog…Im going to bed soon.. church in the morning.. i wonder if its still going to be raining tomorrow?? No classes until Wednesday! have to work on my American Government (I want some lemonade) paper thats due on friday..ugh i hate that class
hmm..im lying in bed.. i can see my breath…(cuz we aren’t getting a heater till next week) and im still rather warm.. what a good night..
hopefully tonight nothing interupts my Stage 5 “Rem Sleep”.. thats the stage of sleep where you dream.. your only in it intermittently a few times a night… you cycle through 5 stages every 90 minutes..whoa… anyway.. both times i was dreaming last night i was waken up.. once by emilys alarm clock..and she wasnt even home.. and then again when jacob txtd me… w/e.. iz str8
ok goodnight… for real now=)
