i'd still take tom brady over any other quaterback anyday
we're still going to the playoffs, so it really doesn't
matter. psh, who cares about home-field advantage anyways.
we can beat the steelers at their place, as long as we
have #28, Cory Dillion

wow i definitley just had the most amazing weekend everrrr.

i was celebrating the red sox win, in boston with 3.2 million other fans. It was all red sox fans just relieved that we didnt have to go through anymore pain. I was with my brother and dad and we just celebrated all weekend. It is seriously like a non-stop party in Boston. umm, i have so many world series stuff right now we brought home newspapers and more newspapers. WE stayed in the hotel that half of the red sox players were in, and met some players. I think i got like 9 hours of sleep in the last three days.
And the parade, well that was amazzzzing. We were front row and i have pictures of Shill, Manny, D.Lowe, Foulke, Pedro dancing, Trot, Big Papi (Ortiz), and so much more. I mean just being in Boston was so much fun. We walked around Fenway for a bit and met up with my dads old college roomates
this weekend was ammmmazing. i cant even desrice how amazing it was. It is the coolest feeling in the world knowing that I was at the parade people will be talking about for years to come.

and by the way Mannys poster was hilarious.
"Jeter is golfing today. This is better."
and yes, i do have a picture of that too.

Man, oh man what an awesome way to celebrate this victory, It just wouldnt have been the same watching it on tv

it has been quite a while//

2004-10-18T21:09:07Z

Well school is going great so is basketball. It's kinda cool cause our whole basketball team is like one big family, no one like ever fights anymore, and our practices are soo much fun. Plus our coach is sweet and we always talk to her and stuff. I'm finally back from my butt incident thing, and oh yes it does feel good to play again.
I missed school thursday and friday because I was in Boston.. (the greatest city everrr). Well it was for my grandpas funeral and that was extremly tough. I don't think I stopped crying ever. Boy am I gonna miss him. But I got my flower from ethan today because of that Sweetest Day thing and that made me happy. But when I was in Boston my brother took me into the city on Saturday and we went into a bar somewhere and watched the sox game. They lost, but it was a good time.

I miss my brother, I can't wait for him to be home.
My sister is coming to my basketball game on Thursday which is exciting, and everyone else should to, even though there is a football game thing. The bottomline is, we win and they don't so you should come to our game.

Hmm. Well the Sox are on right know. and I have 20 bucks on the game cause Pedro is too sweet and we are gonna win tonight and Schilling is gonna pitch game 6.

But yeah... one last question.
How about them Pats?
20 straight wins is pretty darn good if you ask me.

And all you people that are saying that that isnt a big deal and that they play no good teams. Well I dont see any other team doing that so yeah. The Pats are sweet admit it.

I hate the way you talk to me, and the way you cut your hair. I hate the way you drive my car. I hate it when you stare. I hate your big dumb combat boots, and the way you read my mind. I hate you so much it makes me sick; it even makes me rhyme. I hate it, I hate the way you're always right. I hate it when you lie. I hate it when you make me laugh, even worse when you make me cry. I hate it that you're not around, and the fact that you didn't call. But mostly I hate the way I don't hate you. Not even close, not even a little bit, not even at all.

hah well i was watching 10 things I hate about you,
yupp i love that movie
and I really like that part, becasue I guess its kinda true

hmmm.

the_beaner @ 2004-03-14T17:01:00

2004-03-14T22:06:55Z

wow since i am so cool, i decided to get one of these things.
i dont know any of those cool code things, so yeah the entries are gonna be pretty boring

well yesterday was so much fun, it was the boy basketball championship. During the national anthem Kris, Lauren, and Sam show up and we had so much fun. Well first Kris went over to the other teams stands and was cheering for st pats, and there were so many of them. They kept throwing things at him, and knocking his headband thing off, it was so funny. Then I got these clapper things, and lets just say i was annoying Sam and Lauren so much [ they voted me and Kris most spirited ]. Then me Sam and Lauren decided to make a television channel called CCA, and its gonna be all about catholic stuff.
Oh yeah, they had these cameras there so they taped the game. Brendan bought one of the tapes, and he told me that Me Sam and Lauren are on there cheering!

... By the way, St Pats won!

and thank you lauren for making this journal :)
