BOOOOOOOOYAAHHH!!!...


Jim - WEELLLLLLLLLL!!..along with today being Cinco De Mayo!!!!... today was GREAT!... you have know idea... let me give you an idea... First, it was a general all-around good day... I mean... We basically had nothing to do in every class because so many people had testing... I know I should be in that group... I'm such an underachiever... I can take and pass every AP class if I really wanted to... it's the motivation I lack... perhaps I shall gain it... I really hope I do... anyway... Mrs. Groove's class is the best... I have nothing to do in that class but solve my Rubik's Cube several times over while the rest of the class struggles to work on a project... I've already got a 100 on mine. All I have to do is make mp3s (I'm the only one with that software at home to it in my class)... besides the fact that I taught Mrs. Groove a whole new software program. I listened to Michael Cohen and James Price talk at length about Grilled Cheese sandwiches and when they can go to James's house and eat some... I love life... Rehearsal after school was great... I think this might be good. Although there are still things to be worked out.
now... MAY IT PLEASE YOU MY LAD - GENTLE-EN WHO READ MY JOURAL OR ARE JUST SURFING BY: This is what I got in the mail today -
Dear Joseph,
Over the past several months, we have been reviewing the thousands of poems submitted to us, as well as examining the poetic accomplishments of people whose poetry has appeared on the Internet and in various editions released by other poetry publishers in America and Europe. After an exhaustive examination of this poetic artistry, The International Library of Poetry is pleased to inform you that you have been nominated for inclusion in ...

In addition to dedicating a page entirely to you and your personal background, we have also reserved a second complete page that will be used to showcase a new, unpublished poem that you will provide. This means that ...
