i almost died, again...

2006-04-06T04:02:43Z

well, my day wasn't bad. other than i almost died. yup, crossing the street from millennium to my mum's house. i walked, err ran in front of a stopped bus. she honked at me, i was thinking wtf bitch?!?! a van comes speeding out on the side of the bus. i stopped, but i had leaned forward, so i pushed off the van. it was THAT close. probably seemed worse to anyone watching, but i cross that road daily, and it's not the first time i've almost been hit. i always look on the other side to see if anyone's trying to turn, but with a bus there, it's kind of impossible. close call, but i'm not scared. i look back at how many times i could've died in the past. there's two that strike me as close calls: i got hit by a car when i was five playing roller hockey in the street. i think it mighta been the same year or a year after when i got hit in the forehead with an errant nail from a nail gun when they were building our deck. i was hurt, but lucky the nail was turned the OTHER way. plenty of other times i don't remember.

besides another near-death experience, i had a decent day. it's always nice ending with 3rd hour, it seems like you didn't do anything and you get to go home early. and being that my third hour is japanese, yea we didn't do a whole lot, per usual. currently i'm attempting to write an outline for my english essay tomorrow. it's kinda hard, seeing as i didn't read the book. but we discussed it so much that i understand everything well enough to write an essay on it. i just need quotes, which sucks because i haven't read to find any. i've got one from sparknotes, but that's it. i suppose i'll spend my hour and whatever tomorrow looking for quotes and typing fast like a mofo, like i am now. not hunting and pecking, but also not doing the standardized fingers on f and j. i have my own thing based on muscle memory, because i've typed each of these words enough times that i memorized the positions of the buttons and where my fingers should be. i can type faster than most people i think.

overall a boring day. ate at Chili's for dinner. had the baby-back ribs. for once the soundtrack didn't totally eat shit, like it did when i ate there on sunday (haha katherine). food was god too. had a long, drawn-out discussion with my mom about behaviour problems in a 14 year old girl we know (karl's daughter). i don't need to talk about it here, but let's just say if she went into the real world she would get a big slap in the face to wake her up. she's got no clue. anyways, i'm gonna finish this outline and go to bed. gnight people. much love.

P.S. remind me how to cross out a single line of text (i can only get the group)

Tuesday's Gone With the Wind

2006-01-11T05:04:26Z

i had a pretty regular day today, other than being super-duper hella tired. ugh. band pwned as usual. i got my scales down and stuff for thursday's test. geometry was so boring, i wanted to sleep. barely got through without napping. japanese was pretty easy, i once again found myself in a situation where I WANTED to learn. yes, i WANTED to learn. had a pretty good time eating some of the chips i bought at work. they were goooood, Hickory Barbecue Wavy Lays. hooray! they were awesome. world history was a pretty slow day. he gave us an assessment task due friday? hahahaha i don't even have to do it all, i'm not gonna be there on friday. 10 pm on monday night i'm gonna start. that's just my prediction haha.

physical science had another good day. i explained some of the finer points of scrabble to my teacher, since he said he played for the FIRST TIME EVER over break. i couldnt believe it, but he said it was true. he tried to get a general feel for the strategy, and he compared it to chess, which was pretty accurate. i also taught my class to spell MNEMONICS, which everyone thought i was on crack when i said. that is actually how it's spelled, and i know because i'm a fuckin genius. hahahaha. english was fun, and will continue to be fun for the next two days. today we took our vocab test and watched the simpsons. yes, the simpsons, in class, for educational purposes. LOL. we had to analyze it and see how they used satire. i just reminded myself that i have english homework. fuck! i never realized how much satire and humor they actually slipped into one episode. it was amazing, every scene or so had it's own commentary on some part of society. i was amazed, MG is really intelligent. tomorrow and thursday we're watching Huckleberry Finn the movie. should be somewhat fun, seeing as i sparknoted the book haha.

afterschool rachel asked me if we could have our jazz sectional at 4. i said alright. jake agreed. garrett had already gone home by the time she told us. so we decided to get him at some time. i hung out and tried to watch the Made tryouts for MTV. all behind a closed curtain unfortunately. we (me, paul, rachel, jake, twiggy, and mary) made fun of them and hung out on a bench. good times. mary braided my hair, for like 3 seconds, it was crazy. dude, i fucking love when a girl does that, plays with my hair. if anyone is reading this that wants me, and i know some of you do, do that and you'll have me forever. HAHA.

anyways, we had to get garrett, so we left at like 3:15. we went to taco bell because by that time, after eating "lunch" at 11 am, you're fuckin starving. i got a potato and beef burrito and a "crunch wrap supreme". i put that in quotes because, i ordered a crunch wrap supreme, i got charged for a crunch wrap supreme, but i didnt receive a crunch wrap supreme. what i got was a mexican pizza. for some reason, they gave me this big box with a mexican pizza in it. rachel's like, "eat it damnit! it's probly more expensive anyways!" good call railroad. anyways, so we went to pickup garrett, driving in rachel's sister's shitty ass car, with a squeaky and annoying back right tire. i hate that car. we picked garrett up, after sweaving and werving around potholes on 9 mile rd. picked him up, and decided to go visit frigon, because we were in the neighbourhood. socialized with him, it was good to see him. he hasnt been to school because of a broken leg, for anyone who didnt know that. good to see him. came back, did sectional from 4-5.

it was really funny how the division of music ended up. we did about 10-15 minutes of jazz before we said fuck it, it's boring. we did pep music the whole rest of the 40 minutes. that was fun. i got pissed off because the arrangers on the rock tunes changed some of the rhythms. fuck that, if one is arranging a part, to make it as close as possible to the original, they should make it as close as possible to the original! not change stuff. fuck that. ended at 5. took jake home, then i went home and chilled out. ate dinner and watched some tv. watched some movies, fell asleep during Law & Order SVU/CI. good shows, but repeats. got home at 9ish. watched the rest of "A Man Apart", starring Vin Diesel. i liked it, VD is a fuckin BAMF in it. guns, drugs, explosions, dead people. good movie! got done at 11. came up here to update, it's now 12:04. gnight kids, sweet dreams and all that jazz!

SCHOOL'S OUT FOR SUMMA!

2005-06-16T23:54:49Z

YAY! finally done with freshman year. i'm now a "freshmore" if you will. exciting... anyways, yesterday i had math and biology for my exams, which i expected to be the two hardest ones of my week. WRONG! SOOOO EASY! i did well on 'em both, bio i was done with about 45 minutes left in the time. today however was not so easy. English was hell-hard, i had to stay extra time to finish it, basically it was just and essay tying all of the books we read the second half of school together into the same theme. somebody pulled a fire alarm with about 10 minutes left in the first exam period, so i was kinda panicking. i wasn't nearly done with my essay, i had two paragraphs down, starting my third, with my conclusion written out separately in an epiphany i had midway through the test. after we got back in the school, i scrambled to finish, but i was late to band anyways. finished it, and got there about 5 or 6 minutes late. whatever though, last day of school, no one really cared. cross was kinda mad though, but once again whatever. we played through all of next year's show, and rehearsed the new SLH fight song. ughh our part is watered down. i miss the old one, not very harmonic or good-sounding, but it had pep and spirit, and i know the fans will notice the difference. it's all good though. NO SCHOOL! and i have a girlfriend! i finally mustered up the courage to ask carrie. i dunno, every time i see her i still get that feeling in the pit of my stomach. maybe it's just me, but she said yes, and i was ecstatic! this summer is gonna be great i can already tell. after that, i took the transfer bus to the middleschool, went to my mom's n dropped my stuff off, ran back and started on my way home. we were all walking to dan's house, just for old times' sake. we had fun. overall, it was me, kirk, chris, sitar, dan, holly, and caitlin. the girls didnt really walk with us, they kinda ditched us and went ahead. but it was fun. i swear kirk coulda scored with holly if he tried. lol jk, he's a good guy. well i'm out, dinner is soon thank god lol

updating finally

2005-06-14T01:57:22Z

havent had time to type, AT ALL. too busy balancing work, school, and friends. hmmmm, a week ago. let's see. went to the movies last friday, had a lotta fun. also took everyone (carrie, katherine, sean, and i) out to dinner and Coldstone. we all went back to Sean's house after. had a lotta fun watching "Meet the Fockers". only saw bits n pieces of it, because carrie had to leave, and then i had to leave too. grar coulda been better. im not complaining. Mr. and Mrs. Smith was pretty tight, lotta shooting, blowing up stuff, and then SOMEHOW angelina jolie and brad pitt get to making out. ??? i dunno, weird shtuff. anyways, pretty good, action-packed, yet funny and sexy. kinda sounds like me, heh. saturday, i sat around here and did ABSO-FREAKIN-LUTELY nothing. i didnt have an agenda, so i "did" some hw and sat around. not bad. sunday i did that same thing, except i actually worked on my stuff. played A LOT of scrabble, for whatever reason. a lot of clabbers, and such. sat around again waiting for people to get on AIM, not so successful. went to sleep really late, couldnt get comfortable, therefore i was tired today. slept in band (miraculously) and math. *YAWN* thank god i have time to sleep now. changed shifts with Kristan, from 3-7 switched to 3-8. get more money, didnt have to wait for my dad who was working late. got chinese food for dinner, overall a pretty good day. MINIATURE GOLF TOMORROW! woot afterschool. SCHOOL'S ALMOST OUT! ONLY 3 MORE 1/2 DAYS!

later on this zany day...

2005-06-07T02:24:09Z

well, turns out i had to go to work, which of course sucked. i was thinking it would be a normal day of being bored and bagging groceries. BUT NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, i can't have it that easy. well, in the power outtage, we lost A LOT of groceries, mainly the frozen foods and meats sections. they threw all the stuff away into a separate garbage dumpster, where i had to dispose of the carts. it seemed like about 50 carts i had to take in there, which was a lot. this was during the heat of the day mind you, at about 5:00 pm. After that, i went back inside to bag, and then eventually to face. At about 6:15, i get a call up to the front. earlier, a woman approached me and said a man at her apartment complex had about 16 of our carts at his apartment. adam went over there and got them all out, to where we could bring them back. eventually, i got the call that we would run across Pontiac Trail, and collect the carts sitting on the drive. THERE WAS 18 CARTS OVER THERE! we brought them across (me, kristan, and adam) in threes for the first shipment. me and adam went back across the street to collect the final nine carts. i took four, he took five, and we raced across Pontiac Trail. we took the Country Market carts (damn they were there for A LONG TIME) to the back of the store and left 'em. to cap off a weird day, i didnt have to do "Go-Home Carts" or anything else for that matter. it was pretty sweet. im out though.... *YAWN* ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ bedtime. supposed to go to a Steel Train concert w/ tammy tomorrow, but my parents are stupid. sorry bud :(

NO SCHOOL!

2005-06-06T15:23:36Z

well, recapping the last couple days, since i have no time to update. BOC concert was friday as you know, ummm saturday hung out with sean and just chilled all day. Sunday i had to work for 8 1/2 hours unfortunately, and it was hot as hell! outside it was boiling, and we had to wear pants and two shirts. and MY pants of course had a flannel lining. 10:30 am to 7 pm kinda sucked, but i got over it. there was supposed to be a horrible storm, we had tornado watches until 8 pm. apparently we didnt get the tornado, but we got severe thunder storms and it knocked out power in a lot of places. I think the school lost power, cuz im here right now writing this. work lost power last night unfortunately, i think they lost a lot of food. I hope i don't have to work today because i would rather be here hanging out with my friends. iono if i have to work, it was supposed to be 3-7, but i doubt i will have to go. well im gonna go eat some chinese food, because chicken w/ garlic sauce and hot n spicy beef kicks ass. peace...

later on that day....

2005-06-05T03:25:29Z

after i got to sean's, we went to see a movie. we wanted to see Kingdom of Heaven. sean said if his mom said it was OK for us to see it, then they'd let us in to it. but they changed their policies for some reason, and we had to revert to seeing "Lords of Dogtown" instead. which actually wasn't bad, it turned out to be pretty good. i think the soundtrack was what i appreciated most, ALL CLASSIC ROCK! YES! after the movie, we went to Buffalo Wild Wings for some grub. we got it to go, and it was good. when we were waiting for it to be done, sean says to me, "I'll give you $2 to run in there and yell 'GO MIAMI'" and i said, "NO! They'll kill me with plastic silverware!". and then he raised it to $3 and we all had a big laugh. then we left and ate in the car, and they dropped me off, and now im here! YAY! im gonna go talk on the phone and listen to Joe Walsh. "Life's Been Good" is flaming great!

BOC CONCERT!

2005-06-04T21:06:08Z

yea, last night was a blast. i hope i can post about it without OFFENDING anyone. anyways, the plan went on, hinged but it worked. we were supposed to leave at about 5:45, but we left at about 6:15 because our transportation had problems. emily's car only had 5 seats, and we had 6 people (including her dad). so we had to call up sean's mom and have her give us a ride. we surprisingly made it close to on time. we missed part of farner's set, but it was alright, he was just the opener. i thought "American Band", "I'm Your Captain/Closer to My Home", and "Some Kind of Wonderful" were his best songs. Blue Oyster Cult on the other hand KICKED ASS! man they put on a good show. I could tell Carrie was not so enthusiastic about her first concert being BOC and GFR, but i think she warmed up to it. She recognized "Don't Fear the Reaper", and i can tell it was a crowd pleaser, because it was their closer. The lead singer, who we nicknamed Ted after our friend Ted Soper because they look alike, held up a sign that said "More Cowbell!". it was great. BUT... as of course the standard is for one encore to be played (or more) they came back and did some more. i think it was a good first date, i feel a lot closer to her now, and we need to hang out more often. got some interesting pictures at the concert, of which i need to upload onto myspace...hmmm no cords to do it now. later i guess. fun stuff though. after the concert, we were hungry so we stopped in Milford at Wendy's to get some food. after that we all went back to sean's (me, carrie, sean, and katherine) to hang out for awhile. carrie went home the earliest, because she didn't want to upset her parents. me, sean, and katherine stayed there til about 2. then we took her home, and i decided to crash at sean's. we watched Led Zeppelin's "How the West Was Won" DVD 2 for awhile, and then fell asleep. woke up, ate some cinnamon rolls and played chess. they brought me back here cuz sean had a soccer game. i'm goin back over there soon. gotta do homework. peace.....

nationwide apology

2005-06-02T00:56:25Z

anyone i slandered in that last entry, i apologize. you know who you are, i was really upset and angry at other things when i wrote it. please accept my innermost apology for what i typed. i will try to keep it to myself, because a public site is not the best place to pen down my thoughts. again, i apologize for what i have done, and it was a mistake that i am now disappointed in myself about.

Apologetically,
Alex Fiszbein

2005-06-01T21:55:25Z

hmmm yea no time to update in the last two days. well i'm playin scrabble now again, because i'm cool like that. let's see, monday i had the parade. it went overall pretty well, it was good weather and a good performance.

work work work

2005-05-30T03:20:38Z

yea i had to work today. 11:00-7:30 really sucks. but i got over it, now i've been home for awhile and i've had some time to rest. work was alright i guess, a few too many cart trips but that's no surprise, did some facing and bagging as usual. so now i came home, and i sat down for awhile and watched tv. my mom called me from downstairs and told me that i needed to go get some salad for dinner. i bought some salad kits and made a badass salad in a big bowl. yea it was delicious. along with that we had a good sized Polish dinner, kielbasa, baked beans, and salad. it was scrumdiddlyumptious if i may say so myself. so after that me n karl watched tv and made fun of the stuff on. we were making fun of how dramatical titanic was, and this Zulu war show thingy. it was pretty funny. my mom repainted the bathroom and it looks like brand new. we watched some more tv, and i played online scrabble for awhile. good day overall. goin to bed, parade in the morning. peace...

somewhat better day

2005-05-29T03:49:58Z

well, the date at the movies fell through unfortunately. now i'm feeling less depressed and more hyped for next weekend. Well, no movies, but i got to go bowling with my mom n karl, which i guess is alright. i hadn't bowled in awhile, so i got my ass kicked the first two, but i won the third game because i got warmed up finally. Then my mom wanted to call it quits, but i said we HAD to play one more. She asked if i was buying, and i defiantly said yes. I payed the $7.50 and the game was on. I was still pretty pissed from the earlier events in the night, so i like prior games was whipping the bitch down there. i think my top speed of the night was 23.68 mph (with a 12 lb. ball)so that was exciting. Anyways, i had a pretty good game, but i threw it away. in the end, my mom won. But... in the 10th frame i decided to re-enact Dave Chapelle's bowling skit and played defense with some mad skillZ. i forced her first ball into the gutter, and the second one she got a 7. i ended up losing by 10 pins, but that's alright i was cheered up. now i'm in a MUCH MUCH MUCH MUCH MUCH X39825732895325987 better mood because i got free tickets to go see Blue Oyster Cult and Mark Farner (formerly of Grand Funk Railroad) next Friday at DTE Energy Theater. wow that's gonna be sweet. wow i hope i can go to that.

life sucks, people suck, i suck

2005-05-28T23:51:01Z

wow my life sucks a ridiculously huge amount. why do i feel so alone? i mean it seems everyone in my life has someone to be with or something to do. it's like they attempt to make contact with me, yet have other plans that they don't intend to include me in. i feel so lonely, and there is no one who wants to do anything with me. even when i have a good day to relieve my sorrows, i find myself wondering why why why? i dunno, i just sit in my room day after day, and drone out my horrible life in music. i wish i had my iPod right now, then i wouldn't be in such a horrible and crappy and upset and depressed mood. i hate myself, and i don't think i can stop it. i'm a horrible person and i am really unhappy with the thing that is humanity and my life.

in the words of Pink Floyd:

Wish You Were Here

So, so you think you can tell Heaven from Hell,
blue skies from pain.
Can you tell a green field from a cold steel rail? A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?

And did they get you trade your heroes for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees? Hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change? And did you exchange
a walk on part in the war for a lead role in a cage?

How I wish, how I wish you were here.
We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl,
year after year,
running over the same old ground. What have we found?
The same old fears,
wish you were here.

especially that last stanza, my life is the same year after year. and yes, i really do wish you were here, you know who you are...
