dont know what to do

i feel like i've lost one of the most important people in my life. they dont talk to me or even really try it seems. but maybe they never cared.. maybe i'm holding on to something that person no longer wants.

baseball heals my soul

love list pt3
  1. Tim Lincecum
  2. Brian McCann
  3. Matt Diaz
  4. Chipper Jones
  5. Mike Gonzo

First off Tim Lincecum. The only non-brave on this list. He is just a beast! I love this guy, he has great pitching stuff and a ridiculously good change up that stumps the braves every time. Also he is a Cy Young award winner, how can you not love that. Next is the love of my life. I love Brian McCann more than anybody on this list. He is an amazing catcher and one of the best hitters on the Braves team. Whenever he is out, the team suffers. Hoping he makes it to the All-Star game this year.
Matt Diaz is also an awesome hitter and fielder on the Braves team. Wish they would play him more. He is a great outfielder and probably would have had a great '08 season if he hadn't messed up his knee.
Now Chipper is not always my favorite person but he does often live up to his reputation. He is a great hitter and fielder along with Brian and Matt. He has also been with the Braves for quite awhile and definitely deserves the leadership role for the team. He has an amazing memory for pitchers and pitches and definitely knows how to prepare for games and help his teammates warm up as well.
Ok and last is Gonzo. This man is also a beast. He is the best closer that the Braves have and he has some crazy stuff. I love his little rocking back and forth before a pitch. So glad he is back from the D.L.

  2. white gold

sleepless nights

i wish for just one night of sleep.
peaceful sleep.
sleep so that when i wake up i'm tired still
sleep that could heal all aches and wounds.
sleep...
if only.

Tuesday, April 28, 2009

liking you and hating you is all i ever do

i want you
and you know that
but all you do is complain
about how you want someone
but you cant find anyone
and that you are so busy

well i am here
i've been here
and i want to help you
i think you need help
but you wont accept it

i care about you.
for some god forsaken reason
and it hurts

Writing Workshop

I may have picked the worst possible career to get into at this time. Today at Bonaire they had a staff meeting after school and talked about budget cuts. Its a little scary to think that I may not be able to get a job when I graduate. Apparently this year there are only 52 people retiring compared to the normal 200. So basically they are short on spots. And also they need to cut 4.5 million dollars from the county's budget and since 89% of the budget is personnel, there is going to be a lot of relocating people. There have been tons of rumors about job cutting and such. The board of Houston county's goal is to not cut jobs but to just move people around. Which means even less jobs available for newer teachers.
Another thing I want to vent about is classes. I absolutely hate my classes. Tuesdays and Thursdays are the bane of my existence. Plus the amount of work that is being placed upon us is ridonkulous. The assignments do not better me as a future teacher. They are not helping to learn more ways to help and teach kids. They are busy work.
Ok next thing on my list is gym. I am so glad that I get to go to the gym. Its actually something I look forward to. I wish I could go more often.
So I guess life is going ok. A bit too stressful and lonely for my taste but still I guess it could be worse. I just wish I had someone to share it with.

ready to begin..

i'm ready to start something new. and i'm tired of the constant sameness. my days are the same. everyday, the same schedule. i want something new. someone new. i think i want you.

This is Brian McCann. He is a sexy beast.
This is Brian McCann signing my shirt. Isn't he a sweetie?

Brian and Blaine Boyer came to Macon a week or so ago. So I went up there and got them to sign stuff. They were both pretty awesome. And did I mention hot?

I'm ready for baseball season. I love baseball. And I love going to games. They are so much fun and its just like a mini vacation. I can't wait for the season to start in a few months. And I plan to go to as many games as possible.

Can't Stop...

...thinking about you
...wanting you
...needing you
...hating you
...missing you

everything is about you.
and i hate it.
but i want this so bad.
i want to atleast try.
and you wont give me that chance.
but i cant give up.
one night i will get drunk and end up telling you everything.
just wait and see.
.....

All alone in my room, think of you at a rate that is truly alarming
I keep looping my memories of you in my head
I pretend that you want me
What I would give to have you look in my direction
And I'd give my life to somehow attract your attention

Two Birds Stoned at Once

my feelings crawl the walls.
they crawl the walls, and finally fall.
they finally fall.like empires and old loves
.….and we’re all whores, some of us just get paid.
-Chiodos

Quit Lollygagging

I bite my tongue another perfect time
I’d do anything to make her happy,
Even if it means my being miserable as long as she’s loving life

I will be able to sleep at night, with a smile upon her face (2x)

The thought of her smile and not being there
My inner feelings would be shattered
A piece of glass punctured in my heart
I’m bleeding from the inside

I will be able to sleep at night, with a smile upon her face (2x)
As long as she’s perfectly fine (2x)
And someday she will be mine

I will be able to sleep at night
With a smile upon her face
As long as she’s perfectly fine
I hope she’s perfectly fine
And someday she will be mine

"Lindsay Quit Lollygagging"
-Chiodos

i dont know what to believe anymore. hope is almost gone.
