Today is my oldest brother's (not the one I'm struggling with) BIRTHDAY. I have no idea how old he is...wait add eight years to me, plus another year...23...I think, my math might be totally wrong.
So yeah HAPPY BIRTHDAY JEFF (although you don't read my blog...so yeah that was kind of pointless. Oh well I wasted someone's time!)
This is Zelos wishing his brother a happy Birthday,
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

The Swing Side
I've decided for every angsty entry I post I should probably make up for it withs something awesome that happened in my life the same day (starting today, not yesterday)
English today was awesome I have so many friends in that class, it's like lunch all over again (minus my dictator teacher, more like lunch at my middle school). Anyways today we were working on skits (reality TV skits), and I'm in a group with three of my best friends (Louise, Candy, and Dannie) and our idea is hillarious. We lauged all through practicing it (I hope the performance is better). We're doing something where Louise, Candy, and I are all bouncing reality TV show ideas off Dannie, and she's turning them all down (ex. Mime Time Television (all mime all the time), Cooking With Salt...BAM!!!, Living in Alaska...WITH BEARS!!!, and some other things). It's amazing, I'd show it to you, but then you could stalk me, and I don't really like stalkers...sorry.
Anyways yeah this is Zelos who is actually happy (it's amazing what friends do),
Peace Out!

GRRRR...
Two words:
GRADUATION EXAMS!!!!!!!
Currently they are the bane (ha ha Gregor) of my existance (I might have used bane wrong, or it might not be a word...I hate grammar). All they're good for is eating up hours of your life, screwing up the schedule, and (the only good thing) getting me out of AP US History. Now I really wouldn't mind them except the fact you would have to try to fail them (so their pointless) and they completely mess me up. I walk into first period at fourth period time so suddenly I think that school just started and I panic, and then I'm all terrified I didn't do my homework, and then I look at my watch and realize that I really only have one more period to struggle through...it just confuses me. Tommorow is going to be the worst of all though...BIOLOGY!!!! Now let's think about this for a second, before this year they had a science exam (which covered Biology) which I passed, but someone somewhere decided that students didn't have enough to struggle with, so heck let's just add another freaking exam on top that covers everything that these kids have already forgotten. Let's face it what state needs Graduation Exams in the first place??? And then add on TWO science exams, why not make two math or two history (we already have two English, but that makes sense) heck why not make an exam for every stinking day of the school year?
On the bright side some of the Sophmores were asking a Junior friend of mine what the language portion was. He told them that their were thirty Spanish questions, thirty French questions, thirty German questions, and ten Latin questions. The Sophmores all freaked because they hadn't taken Latin, and he told them that he just guessed and passed. I lauged a lot when I heard that, gotta love the Drama kids eh?
Anyways this is Zelos surviving through one more day of exams.
See ya.

Back Up, Leave Me Alone, or I'll Scream!!!
You know those times you love your siblings...this past year those times have gotten fewer then usual. On all accounts I have an awesome family, but when I became more motivated and headstrong and my brother became less motivated and annoying...let's just face it that kind of strained the brotherly love.
Anyways yesterday, and the day before both had those moments when it was just time to go to my room and just rant and rave to the walls, and then avoid my brother for a while. It's all good though, until something else happens. I think we both have realized that the best way to keep our family trial free (well as trial free as possible) is just to stay away from each other for a while.
Anyways I know that 3-12 months from when he moves out(depends on how much he annoys me from now until he moves out) I'll miss him, but for now I just want to tell him: "Back up, leave me alone, or I'll scream."
If you've had older siblings I hope you understand, but then again I don't know if there are many people like me and my brother, so maybe not.
Anyways I'll try to get back to my normal self in a few moments, but I feel you don't know me well unless you understand my relationships with my family.
See ya,
Zelos

Nephew
Okay so I hope the picture was added, anyways this would be my nephew if it got on.
His names Ethan.
Actor
I LOVE DRAMA!!!!!!!!!!
Okay that might have been over the top, but I think I finally found the perfect place for me in my high school. I was stuck in Beginning Drama this year because all my other choice classes were all filled up. I was sincerelly debating changing out of it into Spanish 3, but when I got in the first day I realized how big a mistake that would have been. I'm not saying I have any talent, but the Drama department likes people who are a little weird...and trust me I am weird...so it's all good.
I don't really know how to explain why it clicked, but when it did I was so happy that I had finally found a social group. I always have had friends, don't get confused, and I don't love everyone in Drama, but I spent a weekend with Drama kids, and it was one of the best weekends of my life. I guess when you have a church group that amazes you, a group of friends that are extremely close, and an actual school social group you fit in with, life can't get much better.
Anyways this is the Actor

A Change of Outlook
I always thought I had it hard. I have an aweful case of acne, I'm not that strong, I have bad hair, bad looks, I got the worst of the gene pool, my friends and family all know the perfect ways to get under my skin, and insist on doing it all the time. Last night I learned how great my life is.
My mom, dad, and I were at our ward's choir practice, when half way through a man came in and sat in the back rows and just watched. My dad went down to talk to him (he's in the Bishopric, but I don't think that's why he did it), and it turned out he was hoping someone would give him a ride to a town around twenty miles. The man was homeless, carless, and moneyless. He had hitch-hiked all the way to his friend's house twenty miles away. When he got there his friend wasn't there, so he turned around and started walking back. He got a ride down to our church, and then the driver said maybe he could find a ride inside, so he went inside.
My dad and I had the opportunity to give him a ride back to his town. It really changed my outlook on life, he usually stayed at Salvation Army, but it had closed that night, so he told us he'd find a place tonight to stay and then tomorrow night he'd go to Salvation Army.
I can't imagine a life like that. My biggest worries are all lame in comparrison, I don't have to wake up worrying about whether or not I'll have a roof over my head that night, I always have enough food in the fridge, in fact I have enough that I can waste some. I've always heard of homeless people, but meeting one brought the reality home to me. Those are the people that I want to be able to do something for someday. I guess I just realized how blessed my family and I are, and I'm happy that I have my life.
With something to think about,
