Day 22

Day 22: Slurpees, cars, and basketball

Today had to be one of the best days ever. So today started like any other day show up at school go to acadeca and stuff. The fun started in Nelson's, as usual. We started watching Cinderella Man which I think is a pretty good movie. After that I had religion where all we did was chill talk about life and cat daddy. After lunch I had chemistry and Dixon left us some boring ass movie to watch about ice. Luckily Carlo came to the rescue and we watched Transformers 2 on his phone. :)
After school I hung around and went to Menchie's to get some yogurt. After that I got to school and hung around with Brandon and soon after that we hopped in his car to go pick up Jon and Paul. After that we did some crazy driving and singing along to the radio. Finally we went to the basketball game which was really fun but we unfortunately lost. So altogether it was a bad ass day! Gotta do it again!

Listen to Broken Bells! and the Wombats <3

Day 20.

WATCH!

Day 19: sigh

Today was a rather bad day. To start it off I had to work my ass off in the morning doing laundry, dishes, cleaning my room, and cleaning the bathrooms in order to go with my best friend and his date to the movies. I was extremely tired in the morning so I was pretty grumpy while doing the chores.So time comes up to go and meet everone at the promenade so I leave. Turns out Kevin had planned for the wrong movie time which I personally was pretty funny. So we basically walked around and finally had some lunch. We waited for everyone else to show up. After that we went in to see the Green Hornet which I believe was the highlight of my day. Soon after that I suggested we go to the pier and chill since we had about half an hour to kill. So we went to the arcade and Kevin and his date and Rebecca and Livio went and took some pictures in the photobooths while I played Guitar Hero. After that we just wandered on the pier till it was time for Jocelyn to leave than we went and waited with her til she got picked up. Then It was just me and Kevin and the love birds. I had to walk back to school to get picked up so I left and got home and my mom makes me move all the (pardon my french) fucking fire wood from one side of the yard to the other. So that is my day in a nutshell...Why I had such a bad day is pretty simple. While I was hanging out with all of them I felt lonely...Now this may sound selfish but It wasn't because they were all into each other...no. I actually felt bad because all my closest friends have significant others so basically now I wont have anyone to hang with just me and Brian. Also what got me down was the fact that my presence to day wasn't really neccessary at all. They would of have been just fine with out me and I would have spared my self the awkward notion of being the fifth wheel. But with all that said the thing that bugged me the most was that I had worked my ass off for basically nothing cause I didn't really need to go. You're probaly thinking to yourself "Why has Alex been such a whiny bitch lately" well I'm sorry I just needed somewhere to vent my feelings and what better place than the Internet.
P.s. I'm not made at my friends, I love them all to death and I hope they know this was nothing against them.

Day 18: Shoryuken

Today's post you will find appealing seeing as I did pretty much nothing. So this post will be really short.
Ummm all I really did was watch Ping Pong Playa and Princess and the frog and the rest of the day I played Xbox and realized I suck at street fighter ahaha. That's about it.

Day 17: Melancholy

Today I'm not posting about my day. How great it was and how quotable it was.

As the days slowly roll by 

One can only wish they would 

move faster.

As the say, "One door closed is 

another door opened"

But what if you're stuck in that

sombre hallway opening and closing

all the wrong doors.

I find that the best solution to this problem is simple: Burn the current hallway and build a new one and pray better opportunities arise. 

On a different note I have realized that the quality of my posts tend to diminish the more I feel tired with myself. I've dug myself in this mental ditch and I'll come up when I'm damn ready.

Smiles: they've all been fake.

I can't stand to be seen for what I really am.

Some emotional guy that seems to be ruining his life everyday.

But of course no one knew until now.

Yes, I am aware this is most likely a phase, but as long as everyone is interested I am still that funny loud idiot boy that roams the campus.

So don't worry about me I'll be fine...My purpose, I have recently realized, is to see everyone happy :D

Day 16: Half Empty Half Full

I look at the flask of my life blood
Half empty or half full; which is it?
Just like anyone, I don't need the crud
I want the good times to pay a visit

Slammed with uncertainty again & again,
My optimism is tough to hold on to
And the question is always when?
When will the stars align? I've no clue

Half empty or half full; which way
Must I regard the Present of my life
As the fabric is gnawed every day
I need a future of Hope, not Strife

The struggling has been too long
And yes, some pain makes one stronger
But again and again, this is so wrong
It's hard to be positive any longer

I need to keep a positive angle
For sanity and for others than myself
Yet I'm mired in this earthly tangle
Of paying bills and stocking shelves

And making the too-little money last
Not fixing things that aren't emergent
We had hoped the bad times were passed
But alas, not yet, until the resurgence

We need a vacation from this morass
But can't afford to go; not yet; soon?
Unless we slide into another crevasse
Oh, to eye the ocean from the dunes

Half empty or half full? I like to think
That the good times must be ahead
Maybe we need to be at the very brink
Before fortune goes our way instead

Day 15.

Today's post is a poem I wrote in English class for my bestfriend who was going through a tough time.

Palm Trees

We are all like palm trees

We sway and bend

but we never break.

Certain palms must

be removed at times to 

prevent them from bringing

us down.

So let us do like them 

and stand tall and proud

and live through this

storm called life.

Day 14

Today was an alright day. It went by really quickly. In the morning before school I decided to skip acadeca because I was super tired from the amazing weekend I had. Today's first class English and we talked about MLK and it go me thinking. Other than that I spent the rest of the class trying to mess up my friends drawings. Second class of the day was with Nelson...nees I explain? Third class a pretty good class. We talked about love and actually got me feeling a bit depressed as I began to think about my past loves...and nothing beats the feeling of realizing you're meant to be alone. For lunch we had tacos which is always good... We rounded up the day with chemistry which was really boring...
After school all I really did was go to Costco to get some pizzas. All I can say is that I am ready for the weekend.

Day 13: Teach me how to Gumby.

Today I think was o e of the best days I've had in a long time. Let's start with the wee hours of the morning. That can easily be summed up in a few words. Me Cyrus and Cassidy played just dance. Cyrus stuffed his face with pizza. During all this ruckus Brian managed to sleep through all of it. Brian got six hours of sleep while the rest of us got less than two. After that we woke up and left to universal to meet up with Marty Gibb and grant. We had to wait about an hour till we could go into thee park but we got Starbucks while we waited. Then we went on the studio tour and some other rides. Lunch was pretty good. But it wasafter lunch the fun started. We went on the mummy like ten times singing songs and going nuts. We also posed for really funny pictures. In all its entirety today was probably one of the best days I've had. Can't wait to do it again. Hopefully with more people. I'll post the top picture of today when I get home. <3km

.iDay 12: Skinny Pants, Bill Cosby Swag, and Just Dance 2

So today was a pretty good beside the fact that I had to say goodbye to my grandma. I ended up going downtown twice. It was a really long day. After that I went cassidy's house we went to aahs and went to go pick up these huge as pizzas. They were like 23 inches. After that we walked to UCLA and played some marvel baby! We had an interesting walk back to cassidys house. Once we got home we played some Just Dance and kicked some ass. I also spent the whole day talking to my friend Lucia. <3
Tomorrow is gonna be a better day. BACC brain trust :D

Day 11: Ipads, Assassin's Creed, and AK74-us

Today was a pretty good day actually. Yes I did have to wake up early to go to Acadeca but it was really fun. After that I kinda just got home and played Xbox all day. Oh and I had/am having a wonderful conversation with Lucia. That's about it for today. Tomorrow will be much more exciting. :D

Things I come up with when I have time to think to myself.

Well as I'm sitting here waiting for people to show up for the cram session we are having for acadeca I realized a couple things:
-Blink-182 is a really great band.
-Girls come and go but friends remain.
-Bros before hoes only applies when the girl is a hoe.
-Being at school at 8:30 on Saturday really sucks.
-I really need a tablet.
And lastly....
-Hipsters dress really comfortably.

Day 10: Basketball, Problems, and Mexican Music

Today was a pretty fantastic day. I'm skipping the boring usual otherwise known as school. I don't really know where to start. First me and friends walked up and down the promenade. I ended up getting a sick sweater. After that we headed back to school. We went to seven eleven and got some food and said hi to my homie. Had a great time talking with Emily and accidentally started the biggest fight. However the highlight of the day was riding with my friends blasting music. Love all my friends!

Day 9

So today I was thinking about how complicates its getting tending to my blog seeing as I am posting everyday. My free time is diminishing and so is the quality of my posts. Today was a pretty good day. My speech wasn't as good as I had hoped but ehhh what are you gonna do? First period was alright seeing as how my teacher was happy I didn't wear my duct tape shoes haha. Second period was alright I mean I had a damn quiz so it wasn't that great. Third period was pretty fun because well it was Nelson's class which could brighten anyone's day. Finally I tended the school day with English as I presented lady gaga as As a transcendentalist. After school I basically sat around until I got picked up. Although I did have the wonderful chance to catch up with an old friend...I hope this post was much more entertaining than the previous ones.

Day 8: ACADECA

Acadeca took up my day today. So today's post is my speech. :(
The North and South Korean conflict has not been a very successful conflict. Let’s face it, it could even be considered unsolvable. But here I am to talk about how the U.S. can help North Korea, not South, solve this crisis. Let’s start at the very beginning shall we?
In contradiction to the Cairo Conference the Allies decided to divide Korea at the Potsdam conference. Lt. Gen. John R. Hodge directly controlled South Korea through the USAMGIK. To establish control he gave power to the key Japanese colonial administrators and their Korean police collaborators. They did not recognize the provisional government set up by the PRK because they were suspected to be communist. In the month of September in 194 Hodge was contacted by a Japanese Lt. Gen that the Soviets were south of the 38th parallel in Kaesong. the same month Korea was administered the US-USSR Commission which was agreed upon at the Moscow Conference. Of course the Koreans were excluded from the talks. The Commission stated that Korea would be an independent nation after a 5 year trusteeship. Revolts sprung up in the south; to contain them, the USAMGIK banned strikes on 8 December 1945 and outlawed the PRK Revolutionary Government and the PRK People's Committees on 12 December 1945. Uprising were becoming more common in what became known as the Autumn uprising.On 1 October 1946, Korean police killed three students in the Daegu Uprising. The USAMGIK had no other choice but to declare martial law.
The USAMGIK decided to forget about the five year trusteeship made in Moscow and tried to rise and anti-communist government On 3 April what began as a demonstration commemorating Korean resistance to Japanese rule ended with the Jeju massacre of as many as 60,000 citizens by South Korean soldiers. On the 10th of May, South Korea had their first general elections that were first opposed by the Soviets then boycotted. They believed the US should honor the agreement.  They elected Synman Rhee on July 20 1948. The elections were marred by terrorism which should have been expected. A total of 600 lives were lost. The Republic of Korea was established in August 15 1948 The Soviets made their occupated area communist and appointed Kim Il-sung. Both Rhee and Il-sung were nationalists so they wanted to unify their country under their rule. With Josef Stalin and Mao Zedong in control of the Korea peninsula, North Korea had the Support of the USSR and the People’s Republic of China. In October 1948, South Korean left-wing soldiers rebelled against the government's harsh clampdown in April on Jeju island in the Yeosu-Suncheon Rebellion. U.S. troops withdrew from Korea in 1949, leaving the South Korean army relatively ill-equipped. The Soviet Union left Korea in 1948. On 24 December 1949, South Korean forces killed 86 to 88 people in the Mungyeong massacre and blamed the crime on communist marauding bands. The Korean war never really ended, only a cease fire was called , so technically it is still going on.
I believe that letting North Korea have control of the whole Peninsula would be most beneficial. They have a strong stable government and you don;t here many bad things about them. Sure the US labels certain things they do as “wrong”, But I don’t see what is the problem with them having nuclear weapons. The whole peninsula would be ruled by the North and it really won’t be that much of a difference. We, as in the US, need to make good relations with the North. Honestly, the North would win if war broke out seeing as they are better equipped for war and have the almost infinite supply of foot soldiers otherwise known as China. The reason the US is involved with those affairs is still a mystery. Perhaps it is the sense that the US feels like it is God sent to take care of the world. Korea feels more comfortable with China, seeing as they are A) not far apart and B) similar in more ways than one. So what if there is another socialist country out there. All the US should bother itself with is good relations and trying to find common ground between us and those socialist countries.

Day 7: Poem

Today can be rounded up into one poem that was shown to me by my religion teacher Paulo Coelho...
It goes...
One always has to know when a stage comes to an end. If we insist on staying longer than the necessary time, we lose the happiness and the meaning of the other stages we have to go through.
Closing cycles, shutting doors, ending chapters – whatever name we give it, what matters is to leave in the past the moments of life that have finished.
Did you lose your job? Has a loving relationship come to an end? Did you leave your parents’ house? Gone to live abroad? Has a long-lasting friendship ended all of a sudden? You can spend a long time wondering why this has happened.
You can tell yourself you won’t take another step until you find out why certain things that were so important and so solid in your life have turned into dust, just like that. But such an attitude will be awfully stressing for everyone involved: your parents, your husband or wife, your friends, your children, your sister.
Everyone is finishing chapters, turning over new leaves, getting on with life, and they will all feel bad seeing you at a standstill.
Things pass, and the best we can do is to let them really go away.
That is why it is so important (however painful it may be!) to destroy souvenirs, move, give lots of things away to orphanages, sell or donate the books you have at home.
Everything in this visible world is a manifestation of the invisible world, of what is going on in our hearts – and getting rid of certain memories also means making some room for other memories to take their place.
Let things go. Release them. Detach yourself from them.
Nobody plays this life with marked cards, so sometimes we win and sometimes we lose. Do not expect anything in return, do not expect your efforts to be appreciated, your genius to be discovered, your love to be understood.
Stop turning on your emotional television to watch the same program over and over again, the one that shows how much you suffered from a certain loss: that is only poisoning you, nothing else.
Nothing is more dangerous than not accepting love relationships that are broken off, work that is promised but there is no starting date, decisions that are always put off waiting for the “ideal moment.”
Before a new chapter is begun, the old one has to be finished: tell yourself that what has passed will never come back.
Remember that there was a time when you could live without that thing or that person – nothing is irreplaceable, a habit is not a need.
This may sound so obvious, it may even be difficult, but it is very important.
Closing cycles. Not because of pride, incapacity or arrogance, but simply because that no longer fits your life.
Shut the door, change the record, clean the house, shake off the dust.
Stop being who you were, and change into who you are.

Day 6: Rings and Cake

So today I got my junior ring at school. It was a really swell service/reception. Monsignor gave one of the best masses ever. I mean sure he caught us looking at our phones checking the score for the BCS game but it was pretty amazing. I just realized I started backwards so I'm gonna go ahead and carry on with the rest of the day. DERP <_>

Sooo I had school today and I guess the most exciting part was English class...I did pretty good. Also in Algebra I got an extra credit point :D
That's actually about it today...
sorry

Formspring and Assholes

Okay so this is sort of a rant but hear me out.( or read me out in this case)
So lately people have been being more assholeish on formspring. Not towards me personally but to my close friends. First of a word to those people who have been affected, I don't want to be an asshole but honestly if you're going to make a formspring you should expect to get shit like that. You shouldn't make one if you get mad angrily or just take everything too seriously. Don't get me wrong, I think what they posted on their walls was horrible  but it should be expected. I'm truly sorry.
Now for those people who said those terrible things. You are fucking worthless pieces of shit with no spines. The fact that you have to go on a stupid website to bag on people just to make you feel better about yourself makes me sad. Insecure pathetic people are those who do such things. Why do you have to bring out that bad things out of people? Now I'm sure those people are on facebook so they'll see this.
A message to the people who post mean hurtful things on my friends formsprings...
Don't mess with my fucking friends because in all honestly the only thing between your face and the concrete is that stupid anonymous button you click because you have no fucking huevos.
So next time you're going to post something mean go look at a fucking mirror and see just exactly what kind of person you're turning into and solve you're own fucking insecurities before giving people shit for theirs..
I'm sorry for the language...but it's the truth.

Day 5: Sundays are always boring.

Today was a pretty boring day so this post will be substantially shorter than the previous ones.
Ummmm in the morning I went to downtown because my Gmaa whated to get some stuff from the Santee Alleys. I got some lighter fluid for my lighter so that made me happy. Then I got home and ate lunch and went to my bro's house to watch the Eagles' game which lead to me being disappointed. Uhhmmm that's about it for today.

Day 4: Fockers, Hipsters, and Shiny Pokemon

Alrighty, It's day four of these posts. Anyone feeling like these are boring?
Today was a pretty good day: First Saturday of the semester! Basically I woke up at 10 thinking it was like 3 in the afternoon, but other than that nothing happened in the morning. At noon I left home to meet my friends at the promenade to go see a movie. After meeting most of them we left to McDonald's because a certaain someone was craving McRibs....but sadly they had none so he was forced to get a chicken sammish. We ended up seeing Little Fockers instead of Tron but I thought Little Fockers was pretty amusing. After the movie we said goodby to Jocelyn and then to Rebecca. The rest of us went to Gamestop to get Kevin his shiny Raikou. After that we walked to Brian's but no without stopping by Taco Bell, where I spilled our soda on Kevin...sorry <3
After that we got a ride to school from Brian's mom and we said goodbye to Kevin. It was me and Brian sitting in the gym watching the last seconds of the JV girls Basketball game...they were slaughtered. Soon the Varsity game started and after the first quarter we couldn't stand to watch anymore so we left to the Promenade and wandered around for a while. Then we hit up 711 and Brian go some pizza then we left.
Pretty short post today not much happened but it was a fun day nonetheless.
Love you Kevin Brian Rebecca and Jocelyn <3

Day 3: Ayyyoooo Fuck the Knicks!

Today was a pretty good day, we had late start at school today which made the day that much better. Being Friday I went on my weekly Man-date with that sexy BAMF pictured in one of my previous posts. We did the usual, got to Famima at the promenade and get some breakfast. While walking on the Promenade we ran into an odd homeless man wearing a skirt, he was yelling at a mannequin. I got my usual with the exception of water instead of milk. Then when we got to school Kevin and I battled on Pokemon, I resulted the victor dealing the final blow with my Hypno.
Before I knew it was already 9 o'clock so I headed up to English. In English we continued takling about the Transcendentalists. While in this class i doodled instead of taking notes and ended up drawing a pretty good Shoop the Whoop face. I also discovered Transcendentalists were the original Hipsters. After I headed to U.S. history, it was a pretty fun class like every other class. Quote of the day today was by Mr. Nelson he said "For some time I thought my computer was a lesbian because I couldn't turn it on"
Skip to after school since the rest of the school day was ehhh.
I went to The Slice with friends and ate some good pizza with some fries. Then went to the Promenade again and hung out some more with friends. After that a couple of them and I went to the Boy's Basketball game at school and we had a pretty good time...Ayooo Fuck the Knicks!
After that I cam home to a nice hot bowl of alphabet soup waiting for me :D
Oh the little things that make your day...<3

Hit me like a train...

You're a calm, practical
and intelligent person.
You're confident and
level-headed, letting
few things bother you
very much. Some may
be annoyed by your
almost mechanical
rationality, but you
don't let it get to you.

My Sexuality: I'M NOT GAY!

Alright I've had it with people thinking I'm gay...I'm not okay?
It gets annoying, I mean sure some people do it to be funny and well I somethimes think it's funny
But Honestly...I'm not gay...
The only reason i joke around like that is because I am so damn confident with my sexuality...I know I'm straight.
So Alex Rivas=NOT GAY
kthnxbaiii

Day 2

I'm proud of my self for actually sticking with this post a day thing, sure it's only the second day but hey! I'm proud anyways. So basically today started with a generic session of AcaDeca. It was pretty generic yet funny, i also foun out that if I score a 600 or better i get to skip the whole Great Depression unit. :D
Soon school started, I had religion, pretty fun class today we played some games and stuff. Although, I have to say the highlight of school today was the fact that we made S'mores in Chemistry class.
Ahh but soon the school day ended and, unlike other days, I was satisfied with the day. I was definitely feeling a lot better than yesterday. on the way home i had and interesting talk about governors and immigration.My Dad brought up a very good point, "Some governors just want to become famous, and to who's expense? The undocumented." He made me think about the way our government runs and how the Latin American people need a special figure, like MLK for the African Americans.
Next thing i knew I was at home, sure i had homework to do but is that what i did? Pshhh no...
As soon as I stepped foot in my room i picked up my DS and started playing Pokemon. I've been playing ever since. Then i had some random idea that i will name my pokemon after my friends to show them how much they mean to me.(Nerdy way but hopefully it'll brighten their night.)
Although my concern is that two people will ask for the same pokemon but oh well. All i know is that no on can have Charizard.
Lastly you must be wondering why there is a Picture in today's post...well I am going to try and take pictures everyday and post the best one or the one that best represents that certain day. Today the picture is of my Bestfriend Kevin Grossi.
That's it for today thanks for your time :D

Love...

Love is like a lump of gold,
Hard to get and hard to hold.
Of all the girls I've ever met,
Your the one I can't forget.
I do believe that god above,
Created you for me to love.
He chose you out of all the rest,
Because he knew I'd love you best.

Start of something new...

As I was sitting at my dining room table, I wondered "What am I doing with this blog?". I rarely post anything on here and if I do it's some crappy thing or cliche about life. But as I sat there feeling melancholy for reasons I don't know, it dawned on me. Starting today I'm going to record my life for the next year on this blog. Sure some stuff is going to be boring and it's not gonna get very exciting but I will try and jot everything down during the day, quotes, funny moments and the such. Well to officially start this...
So basically today was your basic generic first day of school after a long refreshing break. We learned "new" things and half way through the day I found myself wishing that summer would rear it's beautiful face soon.
Then I had the most random thought. "I'm going to catch a Staryu when i get home, or it will be the death of me". Now don't ask me why I decided this in the middle of a school day but my mind was set on this. So I finally caught it and now I find myself typing this up in that same melancholy mood...

I can only wish for a life as simple as this...

feelings..

Swimming in an Ocean of darkness
while you stand at the docks
I scream your name
but I am muffled by the brewing storm
I wonder if this is the end...
as I slip in and out of consciousness
something pulls me out of the water
and I prayed it was you...
