Thursday Nov. 24th

Turkey Day! (not turkey bird which is Jeremy's strangely named pet bird) Went okay. It feel a lot like a weekend. After going out last night, I slept late. Woke up at 1 pm. Then I just was lazy until the official meal.  We ate at home. The dinner was good as always especially the cherry pie. I loves me some cherry pie (I don't go in for that pumpkin crap). In addition to the family, we had my Grandma Eva (My grandpa died last year), my great uncle and aunt from Arkansas and my uncle Randy. My grandma had Randy when she was a bit older so he is way younger than my mom. He has kind of looked out for us after my dad split in a big brother sort of way. He took Mike and I to see Star Wars for the for the first time, so I am in his debt. He even has a boat and takes us all water skiing a few times a year. He's is kind of nerdy but a good fellow. He is also one of the few people I've known that going to the Army didn't change him. He was pretty much the same before and after. Always kind of admired him for that. If I go the ROTC scholarship route, I hope to be the same.  Tomorrow is payday! Money, money, money all for me to spend.

Wednesday Nov. 23rd

School was mostly a blur. Felt like a Friday and with the holiday tomorrow, it kind of is.  When I saw K.W. today I got that “kick in the gut” feeling followed by some heart pounding.  Uh-oh. The ‘L” word. I am no longer depressed by the situation.  In fact, I am strangely confident although nothing has changed. Yesterday, she caught me staring at her. She didn’t seem creeped out some maybe she is getting the message that something is up.  Tonight  Mike, Jeremy and I hit up the dollar movies to see Midnight Run.

Which was a lot funnier that I thought it was going to be. We go to the movies a lot. They basically have movies that have been out for a few months already for a buck. The theatre isn’t the greatest but oh well.  We seem to go there with Jeremy more than our other friends. It’s right by my work and it pulls kids in from everywhere. We are always on the prowl for chicks. Sometimes we follow them around for fun- a car chase. Every once in a while they stop and we talk. Seldom do we get phone numbers, at least real ones. If we aren’t in a chasing mood and ,if my sister is working, we hit McDonald’s for a late night snack. Kim always gives us a look but still gives us stuff. What a nice sis.   Jeremy was acting weird tonight and whining about not having “someone to hold”. Hey I don’t have anyone but I don’t go bitching to people- what’s that going to do? He also said he’s thought of suicide. Not sure how serious he was but it was eerie. I hope someday he finds a girl who appreciated his integrity. He is his own dude and doesn’t seem to care about what people think of him. He came to Bear Creek in our junior year from Phoenix. I dunno, maybe that is how you have to be when you move to a new school.  Good guy.

Tues. Nov. 22nd

What a mediocre day at best. I’ve had a string of them lately. Maybe I’m just in a funk. School was okay as usual. I have a fleeting sense of optimism about K.W. but I see a hope rebound in the future. It’s my thing. After school Mike, Shannon and I took our older sister Kim to work. Naturally we mooched some food for a little snack. Hey, ride’s not free. I checked the schedule and found out that I have to work tomorrow night. Then I came home and watched Fun House. Later on, Mike and I went to Pete’s house and talked about a lot of things. Just shootin-the-shit.  We also shot some hoop in the dark. It was fun. Pete is a good buddy. Today is the 25th anniversary of JFK’s assassination.

It makes me think of how sad America is today. The self-proclaimed rebels and hippes of the 60’s have turned all conservative chasing the dollar. The candidates for president are more pathetic than inspiring. People are too complacent and afraid of change. Which is one reason why a weenie like Bush was elected. One of the saddest examples is how Bush and Reagan recently made a list of the most admired men. Based on what I ask? Presidents no longer heroes to the young. Just kind of figureheads of ideologies. Young people only admire money. The torch that was supposed to be passed from Kennedy went out when he dide. We need youth and excitement and enthusiasm all the way from the school house to the white house. This, not a better economy, false promises, will make America better. The rest will just fall in line. Oh well, that is my philosophy.

Monday Nov. 21st

Today bordered on crappy. Calculus went okay. I’m in a groove there. Physics was just plain frustrating. English was a quiz which I failed. Econ, found out that I have a C for the semester so far but I can get that to an ‘A’ no problem. No letter from Patty. The initial enthusiasm for the whole K.W. thing has worn off but I am still hopeful. Need to re-establish some communication. We had our Cross Country team pictures. I imagine it will be pretty hard to find myself in the yearbook because of how big our team is. Probably really the only disadvantage.  After the group photo, they pulled all the All-County people out separately to take our pictures.  The picture winds up in the Hall of Fame.

I walked past those pictures everyday from years gone by and it’s surreal that mine will join them. While they were taking the picts some of my friends were walking by. I felt proud. I hope tomorrow is good or at least inspiring to me.

Sunday Nov. 20th

Another Sunday in the books. Worked in the am, came home and slept, then some TV.  Mike and I did go up to Lookout Mountain where my Dad’s keeps his horses.

I think it is his father-in-law’s place or something. I guess technically my step-grandparents but I don’t even know the people. I will say, they are always really nice when we see them, offering us food and the like.  The guy sometimes gives us a twenty if we do some work up there. Today we just fed the horses. Dad asked up to do is yesterday. The view of the city is sweet up there. But as we were parked on the road just taking it in, some dick stopped and wanted to know what we were up to. What a hooknose?  We angrily explained that we were feeding our Dad’s horse and it really pissed us off. I’ve always seemed to get pegged for being a trouble-maker. Followed at stores, but I am a pretty good dude, I think.  When I came home I did my math homework but no any Physics. I hope to see a lot of K.W. tomorrow. I wished on 2 stars for luck. Maybe they cancelled each other out but really, it can’t hurt. Only 3 days next week because of Thanksgiving. Fun, fun, yeah!

Saturday Nov. 19th

To quote my sister “what a worthless day”. Went to work until 12. It went hohkay. Wen I got home, I slept and watched some TV. Then Mike and I went over to Dad’s to pay our insurance. We somehow wound up staying and watching the Running Man on cable. For as long as I can remember my Dad’s had cable at his place. Something we’ve never had so it always seems like kind of a treat. When we got home, we did my mom a favor and returned the movies she rented to the video store. While there, we got Better Off Dead to watch.

We also stopped at Taco Bell for dinner. Watched the movie when we got back and that’s all. I saw the first star in the night sky and I wished on it. I’ve always done that even if my wishes rarely come true.

Friday Nov. 18th

What a groovy day. School went okay. I didn’t see much of K.W. I didn’t say “hi” when I did see her because I was talking to Mike. After school, I talked with an old grade school friend Shawn . We relived a lot of good memories. Went to my Dad’s after school but he wasn’t there again. When I got home, I fell asleep and missed my usual routine of watching  ‘Fun House” except a bit at the end. After dinner, Mike, Jeremy and I went to see ‘Die Hard’.

We have been giving this sophomore on the team , Tony, a hard time because he was always going on about how great it was. Turns out, he was right. What a flick! It had me laughing and clapping. Then we went to McD’s and mooched off Kim. We talked a little about our current “likes” and I talked about K.W. I think it’s time I stated it- I like her. Now it is official. I have also got a plan. Continue saying “hi”, then “hi, there”, maybe conversation. Then before winter break give her a card with how I feel and my phone number. Let’s hope it works. She is hot.

Thurs. Nov 17th

H'okay Today school went well. Did nothing in French. We had a quiz in Calc but I aced it. In English we had an in-class essay. It went well. Discussion in econ. After 6th, I was waiting for Mike and K.W. walked by. I said “hi” and she enthusiastically said “hi” back. Made me feel good. I’ll try again tomorrow. Went to pay my insurance but Dad wasn’t home. Mike and had I to go to work. It was slow and I goofed around. Then, afterwards, we threw the football around. I could’ve done that all night. The came home and watched T.V. My guitar order form is on its way. I can hardly wait until I get it. I’m pretty happy about the K.W. situation and that Patty wrote. Let’s keep it that way to carry me through the weekend.

Wednesday Nov. 16th

What a darn good day. We got our mid-term progress reports. Not so much an actual grade just a “hey, this is how you are doing at this point”. I have 4 A’s and a B (I hope). I admit, I like getting good grades. I hang with a pretty smart crowd so I have to keep up. I’m proud because I worked hard or at least worked hard enough. I’m finally started to understand Physics (that’s how it usually goes with me. I struggle then BAM, it become all clear) Math is really easy now. After school I was waiting around for my sister. K.W. was talking to two guys. I was standing near and she said “Hi”. It put me in a good mood. She didn’t have to say anything. I’ll be the one to say “Hi” tomorrow. When I go home from school, there was a letter from Patty. It was good. I immediately wrote back. I also sent away for a guitar. I’ve always wanted to play an instrument but never could afford lesson. The guitar seems at least possible to teach myself. Went to the mall with my mom. It was kind of fun. I drove some. It’s always weird driving my mom’s car. At the mall, I got a shirt for $2. I’ll wear it tomorrow. When I look back I can’t see a single bad thing that happened today. I wish they all could be like this.

Tuesday Nov. 15th

Today was like hell except cold. I am sinking into a pit of my own digging. I didn't do my physics or econ but I tried. It snowed for the first time of the year. Kind of late actually but at least we got through the Cross Country season with running in the slop. Our Chevy Citation handled it well, it is a beast with a sideways radio. The rest of my classes went okay. Not much but talk. After school Mike and I went to SW Plaza to play some video games. I had fun and even saw Julie there. Right now, I am kind of indifferent about the babe situation but deep down there is still hope. We came home and watched Fun House. I still haven't written my revised letter to Lara. Gotta do it by the weekend or I never will (Editor's note: I never did) I've been thinking about calling Patty. Maybe I will. I mean, when you have no prospects it is tempting to contact that last chick that said "I love you" even it is was on tape. Maybe I will try.  I watched some TV and tried my homework. But I was too frustrated. Then Mike and I went to PDQ- a nearby convenience store- for some soda. We wanted to cruise around and shoot the breeze but it is a school night. No matter what kind of day I've had, driving around at night always makes be feel somewhat better. Anyway, that is all. I have had the inspiration to draw again. I should at least try.

Monday Nov. 14th

Not that big of a day, then again they never are. School went h'okay. No major work done.  After school, I was lazy and just watch the boob tube. Mike and I have gotten hooked in this ridiculous kid's TV show called Fun House. It's your basic trivia show mixed with some stunts and a giant Fun House, the kidds have to go through at the end. The Host is J.D. Roth- totally cheesy but he is all in. The announcer is a fat dude named, what else, 'Tiny'.  The real draw is the twin cheerleaders who cheer for each one of the teams. Jackie and Sammy. They have to be in there mid-20s but they are hot. I likes to look but I think Mike has a thing for Jackie. They mixed up the format for today's show. Sometime, I totally indulge the little kid in me.

Work was kind of fun. Drive Thru was pretty busy but after it slowed down, we had squirt gun wars. The squirt "guns" being bottles of window cleaner.  Afterwards, I went over to King Soopers to get a B-day card for my mom which is today. When I got home I did some French homework.  I was thinking today about how hopeless my girl situation is. Sometimes I can handle it. Other times I feel depressed. And times like today I feel like I have to write a story about a boy like me. Saw K.W. in the library but nothing much happened. I didn't mail my letter to Lara. I have to fix it but at least I bought a stamp. It might snow tonight but I hope not. I don't like winter because it reminds me how far summer is away. Oh well, C'est tout for today.

#1 song- "Bad Medicine" by Bon Jovi


An average Sunday. Got up early to open McDs, came home towatch the Broncos game, sleep and homework. At least the Broncs wasted Cleveland. 2 wins in a row, there's hope. Only 8 school days until Thanksgiving. I'll be giving thanks for a few days off, It will be just in time. Let's hope we have a good one tomorrow.

Saturday Nov. 12th

Today started at 8 am. I didn't have to go to work due to the a race. A bunch of us got excited after cross country for the Junior Olympics. Maybe we were still stinging for our disappointment at State. The race was held down the street from the Jeffco Stadium. I usually only go near the place for track meets. We ran to a JV meet on this same course during the season but I've never ran that course. A lot of the top guys from the county were there. The top runner from Wheat Ridge, Nick, is a pretty decent fellow (unlike that jerk from Green Mountain). Any who, I managed an 8th place finish but to be honest, it wasn’t nearly as big as districts even.  Picked up a medal and qualified for the National Meet in Maryland. No chance of going but at least I can put state behind me.  Melody Fairchild, a national caliber runner and state champ from Boulder was there. As my freshman friend Matt W.would say "she ain't bad". Then again, she is about as big as he is. Afterward, we went to breakfast with Tom B. and Wade at Village Inn. I rested at home when I returned then went to SW Plaza. Didn't spend too much. Mike and I didn't go out, we rented a movie instead. It wasn't too bad but I wasn't in the mood to watch it. I wrote a letter to a former camp flame..Lara Adams.  I met her at Sky Ranch (same as Patty) but she was much cuter. We wrote a few time and she even sent the words to "The Rose" one time. Never figured what that meant. Hey might as well take a shot.  I have to get a stamp tomorrow. I hope she still lives at the same place and writes back. I'll go to sleep tonight thinking of Shelley, Andrea, and Kristen; all currently have a place in my heart.

Friday Nov. 11th

Not too much exciting. The half day was nice but somewhat wasted. Picked up my check at when I went to work. A check is not as nice when it is already spent. Oh well, better than being in the hole I guess.  I am very sleepy tonight.

Thursday Nov. 10th

I didn't see KW enough to really make contact again. Tomorrow I'll try if I see her. Today was just a coasting day. Nothing really important except a math test. I think I did really well. This quarter I am doing much better. Even getting my head around English. After school I napped until work. It went by so slowly. I have to work again tomorrow night.  Another exciting friday in the life of Matt T. After work, Mike and I finished writing up our Physics Lab results. Today I realized what luck I have sometimes. Tomorrow I get paid but almost all of my check save for 10 bucks- for the next two weeks. In the mail, I got a check from Kodak for 19.50. A few years ago, my pop (God knows why) got Mike and I a Kodak instant camera. Later we found out  Polariod sued them. We followed along enough to know a "settlement" was coming. The check today was that. It was sweet! Oh well, that's all. Hope we have a good one tomorrow for once. It's only a half-day.

Wednesday Nov. 9th

Strange. Today during 6th hour I was working on my physics in the library. I looked up to see KW staring at me kind of throwing out a vibe. She gave me a big smile and said 'Hi'. Maybe it is not that big a deal but at least it is contact.  Otherwise a largely forgettable day. I just watched the boob tube tonight.

Tuesday Nov. 8th

A sad day for America. George Bush won the presidency. I voted for Michael Dukakis. Oh well.
School went well. I did pretty good on my english quiz. Also I finished my paper. It had a kick-butt conclusion. I was feeling a little goofy because it was done so I titled it 'Lear, Dude!'.  I hope Mr. Wilson gets a chuckle out of it. After school I got my new Driver's License. I must say it is a pretty good picture.  

We had the end of season Cross Country Banquet tonight. It was at the Holiday Inn. There were some pretty funny moments. First of all we were late. So Mike, my mom and my Grandma Eva all had to sit at the head table. After everyone ate they introduced the head table (coaches, assistants and the like) including all of us. My grandma even stood up a waved. It was classic.  Later on the fun and crazy awards were given out by asst. Coach B.  For some reason Mike and I got the "lucky socks" award. First of all, I didn't have a pair of lucky socks. At most, I may have mentioned something as a joke one time. Second of all, I sure Coach B. could have found some other thing to mention. It was like he just wanted something to say. Third, we had to share the damn award.  It hit me tonight that the season was really over. I collected my letter bar. The first letter you get, you receive the actual letter with a pin of your sport. Cross country has a CC with an arrow through it and track has a winged foot.  The second year you get a bar to go along with the first pin. I got the letter last CC season and another in track. I also received my All-County plaque and a State meet participation certificate.  I was proud of the way I finished the season. Districts/ Leagues was unreal and I ran a PR at state.  

Today I talked to Julie a lot. Also talked to Belinda again at the library. K.W. was there. I got the impression that KW didn't like me talking to her. Could she like me or just maybe she wants all my attention to herself.  I could be dreaming too. Saw Andrea said 'hi' but no Shelley. I 've got to establish contact again.  Gotta get my scholarship stuff in and apply to the U. of Miami tomorrow. Here's to a good day of life and love.

Monday Nov. 7th

Usual Monday type of day. School went by normally. No French class this morning, just a lecture in Calculus so I was just taking notes all period. We had a lab in Physics. Nothing memorable in English and a computer game type thing in econ. I worked on my english paper after school in the library. No K.W. today. When we got home Mike and I ran 5 miles. Then I feel asleep unit 5. Then Mike and I went to Sound Warehouse and rented E.T. It was really good to see that movie again. I still remember the first time I saw it. Loved it immediately and even shed a tear when E.T. almost died. It was moving to that 12 year old dude. So what if I put some homework off? I did manage to do some math problems.

No babe news today. I didn't see Andrea or Shelley at all. Julie, well we didn't have a chance to talk too much because of the in-class assignment. Tomorrow is voting day. My first election.  That will take up some of the morning. I guess that's it for today.

#1 song- 'Wild, Wild West' - Escape Club

A bit more exciting Sunday than usual. Work went by fast and I had fun with it.  I know I was complaining about the job yesterday but sometimes it is okay. Mainly, the other people that work there. Really a lot of cool people. The vast majority of them go to Kennedy High School which isn't even in our school district. It's kind of nice being a little anonymous to them. I have some good friends there. After work Mike and I went to Southwest Plaza mall to buy the Cliffs Notes to King Lear.  While we were there we hit the arcade for some video games. Seems like I always spend a portion of my check there. I love the Track and Field game.  On the way home we rented a movie from Sound Warehouse. I have to say that I felt really good they day I got my own account to the place. No more asking Mom to rent movies for us. But I can't get too excited, it's not like they have porn or anything. We got home played some football and watched TV.   I started my Calc. homework. I only did 2 problems before we started the movie. The movie we got was 'The Sure Thing' with John Cusack.  It is an excellent and funny movie. I've seen it before but I am always down for another watch. I finished my math afterwards.  Didn't do my paper so I will have to take a late on it.   We got two lates a year which is basically a couple of extra days with a one grade penalty.  It means I'll have to write an A paper just to get a B. After my homework I made a tape of love songs. I've been thinking a lot about Shelley lately but I never see her. I'll try real hard to make contact tomorrow.  I hope it is a good day. Broncos beat the KC Chiefs today. I hope they are back.

Saturday Nov. 5th

Not much action today but work and sleep. Work went okay but that 5a to 1p opening shift can be a killer. On one hand I like having my day done at one but getting up at four thirty is a bitch.  After work I can home and fell asleep while watching T.V. So I wonder, even if I get off early in the day, I usually wind up sleeping. So I'm not saving much that way. Still, it is one hour less of customers. McDonalds already ranks low on the job totem pole. Tomorrow I'll spend the day working on my paper. Today is the type of day that you just float through and you don't realize its over til you go to sleep.

Friday Nov. 4th

Just an average day. The highlights of the school day included a 75/75 on my Physics test and watching a video in econ. Julie wasn't there. Also I had a nice chat with an exchange student from Australia, Belinda. She was on the cross country team this past season. She is nice and kind of pretty although a really slow runner.  I wonder what she thinks of me. Anywho, today a lot of girls complimented my on my hair so I am doing it right. After school I slept and watched Can't Buy Me Love. A great film. Then Mike and my friend Jeremy went bowling. Of course he drove in his Bitchin' pontiac of pleasure. Jeremy has had the car for a while and while it's not stellar, it's still better than our p.o.s. It has these great cup holders that hang from the dashboard. They are called 'Mug Bouys'. Mike and I must comment on them every time we get in the car.  There were a lot of ugly and young girls at the bowling alley. No prospects. This fat chick was giving me the eye but I ignored her. We hung around after our games for about a half hour hoping some chicks would magically appear but no, so we just left . What a lame evening but oh well.  It seems with each day the babe situation get more and more hopeless but I guess if it's to be it's up to me. I would like a girlfriend very much but I don't want to say that I need one. Then again maybe I do. Maybe I deserve one.  Something to think about.

Got caught up with a few things this week of 2011. I will try to dole a few "days" per day until I catch up.

Thursday Nov. 3rd

Felt pretty good about things today. Not much happened in school. Same old Math and French. Luckily, having Sean and Andy in French is pretty entertaining.  Originally the class started out as AP French but when no one raised their hand when the teacher asked who would be taking the AP test, she said that it was just ‘French 5’. We also had a lab in Physics, a discussion in English and a lecture in econ. During 6th K.W. was looking at me a lot. She had been lately. She also looked like she was on the verge of saying something to me.  I spent the free hour working on my ROTC scholarship. Getting a copy of my transcript and filling out the application. I am almost done with it. After school I just lazed around and watched T.V. I didn't get any homework done. But I only had French anyway. It seems I have homework in that class way more than any other.
Today I was thinking about this girl I used to be madly in love with; Shelley. A freshman in my Earth Science class when I was a sophomore.  I used to talke to her every chance I got or just pass her in the hall. We were actually kind of friends. Then on Valentine's Day that year, I gave her a card with a rose. In the card was little poem I wrote.   Later that day, she saw me walking through the mall, while she was in Hallmark's card store. She ran out of the store with a card that she didn't pay for just to say 'hi' to me. I always wondered if she was looking for a card for me but I never got one. Later on I found out that the poem made her cry. Of course nothing ever happened. Now I never see her or say anything. I wonder if she ever re-reads the card and thinks if things could have been different. Tomorrow I'll try to talk to her because she still has a place in my heart.
I got a good start on my Buddy Holly story. I have a lot of ideas to make it really good. C'est tout (that's all) for today. Nighty-night.

Wednesday Nov. 2nd

Today was simply ordinary.  In French, we didn't do much but I did answer three question for three points. Every day we get a chance to another some social type question. If we answer we get a point, these points count a percentage toward our final grade.  In calculus, not much; it was kind of confusing.  In Physics we had a retest.  I hope I did well.  In english we just read in class.  Once I sit down and read the poems I really understand and appreciate them.  In econ, we finished the video.  Today, Julie fell asleep during it and I had to wake her.  After school, Mike, Shannon and I, ran 2 mi in the neighborhood around the school. This is technically my "old" neighborhood so I know my way around. We also did an all out 400m on the dirt track at our school.  I managed 61 seconds which isn't bad considering the surface. Not bad on a dirt track.  When I got home I slept.  I also played football with Mike.
In the library during 6th , K.W. looked my way a lot more than usual.  I don't understand.  My heart is just floating around the school occasionally bushing up against some chick.  I read some of my many stories I have written today.   I will try to keep working on my new Buddy Holly story.  It's such a good idea that I can't let it go by.  Gotta get things going for college.  That's all.

Tuesday Nov. 1st

Wow! November already.  Today a lot happend.  In French all my homework went unchecked so It was all for naught.  In Math we just took notes as Jobs lectured.  In physics we went over the worksheet and prepped for a lab on Thursday.  Tomorrow is the retest.  In english we had a quiz which I failed.  Econ- nothing of any relevance.  
Today I realized how hopeless my love life is.  All the girls that I sort of like are way out of reach and if I could catch one, it would be hard to date with my car the way it is...a piece of shit.  The only girl who did like me hasn't written in months.  I must write her one last time- a guilt letter or maybe a poem.  I am toying with the ideas some sending anonymous notes but I don't know it is kind of wimpy.
After school we (Mike, Shannon (my little sis) and I went to McDonald's.  Then Mike and I applied at Mervyen's Department store. Sales floor, stock boy whatever.  I hope we will get a job there.  I am tired of being a peon for losers like my McD manager's Danny and Diana.  We also went to the mall.  I got an application for Kay-Bee Toys.  That is my kind of job.  Also we went out to dinner.  It was good.  Today I ate so much candy that it is a wonder that I am still alive.  Tomorrow I must cut back because I am working on track with Mike and Shannon.  
Today I realized what a good friend Jeremy is.  He never makes fun of the things I do or say (like Joe).  He always seems to have a good attitude about things.  He is nice and most importantly, I respect him for just being himself and not getting caught up in the trendiness of high school.  The Jeremy you see is the real Jeremy, not that stuff we read in books.  That's all my thoughts for tonight.  Hoh Well.

"Men do not quit playing because they grow old, they grow old because they quit playing" - something Jeremy is always saying.
