Wow, the last couple of days have been rockin’. Today is Saturday and I’m sitting here waiting to for a drive, cause my sister is letting me use her car and stuff, but man, it’s been cool.

Yesterday I went to Disneyland with a ton of my friends! (some pictured at the right) We freakin’ tore that place apart. We started out with like 18 people in our group and it slowly dwindled to about 15 or so, but man did we do some serious Disneyland. Not to mention the fact that a few friends of mine brought camera’s and we got some rockin’ shots of everyone and of course me! haha.. I’ll be posting a “Shaycam at Disneyland” gallery soon. I’m waiting for my friends to email me the pics they took. But anyway. All that to say that we had a really good time. But on the way home at around 12:00-1:00 AM we were all chatting in the back of the bus and we talked about old times and stuff, but what really stuck out was what something my friend Brad brought up. He was saying that we only have like less than 2 months left of high school. After that, no school bus rides, no trips together, no more hanging out as HIGH SCHOOLERS! It really made me kind of sad and stuff, but I dunno. We were saying that now is the time to hang out like crazy, because, let’s face it; this is it. So anyway..

Today I got a little early and went over to our local town “Poppy Festival” to see my school choir perform. I got in there and then found myself on stage flipping music for Jamie (the pianist) and just helping her that way. It was cool, I enjoyed it. But that’s life.

uh?.. OH YEAH! My friend Paul (who happens to be one of the guys that has some pics of my from Disneyland) is a Roller coaster fanatic! So check out his website. I also added it to the links page! it’s California Coasters – http://www.calcoasters.net ok bye

I chose this one because she does the same stuff with her arms that I do when I’ve been working hard having people watch me on cam.. haha! I crack my self up!

Sorry I haven’t been on cam in a few days.. but have you kids enjoyed the pics of my mom? haha.. I thought they were great. It was funny. She had to use my computer for some letters or something that she was writing and I looked at the site later and saw that the last pictures were of her! Pretty rockin’..

But anyways, down to business. Things have been going alright. This last weekend I went down to this speech competition. It was actually kind of exciting. I got to read a children’s book in front of like 10 people and then get graded on it and all this stuff, it was fun. But it was more exciting because of the people I was with and everything, so yeah.

As far life goes, eh?.. it’s not too bad. School has been the most boring thing on the planet. I don’t know what the heck I did last year, but man, I’m tellin’ ya this senior stuff is a piece of freakin’ cake right now. Oh man, today we had PSAT testing. WHAT A JOKE! It is the EXACT SAME TEST that we took last year. So, on like the “Reading Comprehension” section I was thinking, “I read this story last year, and I still remember what happens..” haha.. it was fantastic. Ahh, the joys of high school.

I just that I’d let you kids know that I am going to Disneyland on Friday. It is going to be a rockin’ good time, so if you are going too, make sure you get your picture taken with Mickey and I. Then you can say “I GOT MY PICTURE TAKEN WITH THAT KID ON THAT WEBCAM! AND MICKEY MOUSE” *notice that Mickey comes second, that’s important. hehe

Ok, I’m getting weird. I am going to leave you. You kids have an enjoyable afternoon and evening and well, see ya whenever.

Today I have managed to sleep most of the day. Not only did I not wake up until’ 8:00AM, but I slept in every single period. I slept the entire 3rd, 4th, and 7th periods, and slept for 5 minutes in 5th and just rested in 6th. It was nuts! I’ve been really sick. Once I got home at 3:00, I just came in to my room and slept. Then a few of my friends (Kira and Sara) came over and they brought me orange juice, 2 books, a snickers, a card, flowers, and a new necklace. It was the coolest. I don’t think anyone has done something that cool to me a looooooooooooooooong time. Thanks girls!

Anyway, I woke up 9:00 tonight and have been up for the last hour and a half. I was looking through this kids book that the girls brought me and it had the picture you are seeing to your left in it. It was a really sad picture. Some of it’s meaning to me is really hard to explain. You see, my nephew has been in the hospital. He had a severe asthma attack and now he’s been in and out of a coma, and all this stuff. But the latest news has been the hardest to take. You see, my nephew is like me. He loves sports, likes to get outside and play, but now they have said that he is blind. Blind. What a thing to say to a 10-year-old. “..You can’t play baseball anymore, you can’t go run around like you used to.. here’s your stick.. make it through life..” It hurts me to think of these things. It really allows me to take a look in to my life and say, “.. geeze.. compared to what Ashton (my nephew) is going through.. it’s not so bad..” but the problem I see there is the fact that, I WISH I WASN’T SAYING THAT! you know? I wouldn’t be saying that if it didn’t happen, and of course I didn’t want that to happen. But at the same time, God is in control. God can do whatever he wants with his own stuff. Why would I be the one to judge his decisions?

Sorry so serious, but that’s just life for me at the moment.

I wrote something today. I was sitting in government and I started feeling a little depressed. So I thought I’d better grab a pen and start writing. It’s not really about anything at all, and you guys might not even care, but here goes:

“I just feel like writing. No rhyme or reason, except for the fact that I am broken. And I find peace in the ink of this pen. The simple thought that I am capable of allowing my mind to finish what it has started right here. I have eyes, I can see what’s going on here. No talk, no look; what’s wrong with me? There is a song that won’t go away, not to mention the future I’m building up in my head. A tear could enter now, and it wouldn’t be awkward. Still my stomach turns, but you don’t know. Maybe you can’t get two out of three? It’s hard to explain. Maybe I’ll feel better if I spent some time alone today. But that’s no what a man’s heart wants. I’d rather lie down, sit and think that continue to listen to this commotion. This is a freakin’ movie. It’s stupid! Why am I stuck in my younger years.”

Not sure what it all means, but I was just writing. A few hours later I found myself at the “Holiday Skating Rink.” You see, we had this “skate-a-thon” thingy, it’s really weird. But the whole school goes over to this really 80’s skating rink and we chill there for a few hours. I’ve been sick, so I didn’t have the greatest time. But it really wasn’t that bad. Had some good conversations with some friends.

Ok, well, I need to go work on my economics assignment. I think I’m done. Send me some email. I like to hear from everyone. Bye now.

I am listening to the song above from the guy from Caedmon’s Call. The lyrics you are seeing are simply what he says at the beginning of the chorus. They are amazing. I just thought I’d share that with you. That song should be coming out on a CD sometime in the near future, hopefully I’ll be able to pick that up.

Well, here I am. Today has been a normal day, just relaxing. Went to school, that was just a day at school. I was thinking about doing better in my English class. Some days are not as good as others, but I have been trying harder the last few days and have some pretty good results. I know you really don’t care about that, but I just write. You read it, not me. If any of you didn’t know I am this play and I have the role of this stuck-up cowboy. He’s great, and tonight we had play practice. I liked it, it was fun.

I am in a calm mood because I am listening to this song over and over..

If you wanted to know that picture is of… it’s a Chihuahua puppy. He’s about 6 weeks old and the size of my hand. He’s awesome. Some people that I know hate Chihuahua’s, but I don’t see anything wrong with them. I think I’ll go read my Bible now.

That’s weird. Because if you look at my last journal. The time was “11:29PM” and now it’s “11:28PM” weird eh? I know I know.. I’m cool! BUT WHO CARES!?!?! HEHE

OH MAN! I’m in such a good mood. (which explains this journals pic >>>)It’s really hard to explain. Things just keep coming at me and they’re great. Like today, I was able to go to this concert that I thought was not really going to be that great because I was just going to be seeing a bunch of bands I had already seen, and holy crap was I wrong! IT WAS AMAZING! The lead singer from a band called Caedmon’s Call played and I don’t know how to explain this, BUT IT WAS FREAKIN’ BAAAAAAAAAAAAAD. Oh man, really cool. And things are just looking up for me. I LOVE IT! I AM REAAAAAAAALLLYYYY EXCITED!!!!!!

Really, I am. It’s not a joke. And it’s not something I can really explain right now. But maybe I will some time. At a later date. And just a thought, but; I love God. God is doing awesome things. He works. If you have questions about that. Feel free to email me. Now go to bed, or school, or work, or outside, or up, or down, or there, or in the kitchen. Do something with your life, cause if you’re just sitting here looking at these pics of me, you won’t be fulfilled. I can’t do that sort of thing! But when you go, don’t forget me. Come back in a couple of days and read my next post. It’ll be good, just like every other post. I think? 🙂

I got this letter in the mail for this dance that’s coming up next month and on the back is just a list of things that girls can and can’t wear. And to be more specific, they just drew the pictures on the back of the information paper. I thought it was funny, but whatever.

I gotta tell ya, senioritis has really freakin’ kicked in to gear. I can’t even go day in school without thinking about how pointless it is to be there. It’s kind of weird, I am feeling kind of weird right now. I need to go to bed, but I also just want to post more and more information on to this site. People keep popping up on my screen here wanting to chat, but I am finding my way back here just to tell you that.. ok, that’s confusing. But what isn’t anymore.

I’m kind of tired. I am going to the Getty museum tomorrow, that should be fun. I am feeding someone’s dog for them while they are gone. night.

Shay

P.S. I make no mistakes.. haha.. if you think there is a mistake in the writing, then it’s meant to be there.

I just had some sort of weird moment. I was just thinking that I had something important to say to everyone. And I really think that-that pic on my right is really setting the mood. I entitled that pic (spelling is incorrect for a reason) “thru new I’s.” It makes sense to me. I really don’t wear glasses. They are just something that I think make me look different. Which is kind of funny considering I changed my hair and all that jazz, but anyway.

I don’t know. “Thru New I’s.” Sounds kind of selfish I know. But I think it really makes sense. So I can take the focus off of me. It’s not about me. Now, I understand that this site is a little one-sided considering the fact that it is all about me, but I am not referring to that. I thinking about what place I am in this life. For those who don’t know me, I am Christian and with such I have a different purpose on this earth. And I was just working on my bible report and it got me thinking. Not sure what exactly I have to say, just writing. You know how that goes. But I hope you kids can really get a feel of who I am. I am Shay. Yeah, S-H-A-Y; Shay! ok?.. just getting that cleared up! haha.. that was weird.. but what isn’t weird on this site o’ mine. Get a life shay.

By the way. I am thinking of adding some Shaycam merchandise. What do you kids think? Send me email. Let me know. Oh, and that’s going to cost money. So send me money. 🙂 bye kids.

Shay

Ok kids, Gotta tell ya! LOOK AT THAT PIC!!!!!!!!!!!! I CUT MY HAIR OFF! ALL OF THEM. I am currently sitting here with Sara Burt, and she feels pretty good about this. How do you kids feel? I need the feedback. I screamed a lot when I got in to the parking lot after getting this done. This is a work of art. I feel good, real good.

I can’t think of anything else to say. BUT I GOT MY HAIR CUT!

bye.

Just when you think you’re doing good, everything just starts falling apart around you. Ok, so I need to design this new freakin’ website for my scholarship at the Art Institute of Los Angeles, but like, I can’t seem to get any ideas. But, what I don’t get is, I can sit down in one day and make this shaycam site. It’s weird. The site is due, with a bunch of other crap to the art institute on monday. But I have no idea how I am going to get all this crap done. I suck. I really do.

Anyways, I went to San Diego for a few days yesterday and we got hooked up. We had a hotel in town and they screwed up and over-booked the place. So we got to stay in the Marriot Marina right on the bay. It was sweet. $359.00 a night! But the hotel paid it for us! It was so cool. I liked it. I got these new glasses >>>>>>>> there. HI. ok.. so I feel good. If you didn’t guess. Senioritis has taken effect. I’m losing my life to the system!! I’m going to disneyland in a couple of weeks. uh?.. what else.. don’t know. There are people in my life who I enjoy being with. like my friends. Oh, I am going to say hi to them now. Hello to all the people who are reading this. because, you kids are my friends. haha. I love it. IT’S ALL ABOUT MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! heheheeheehehh.. ok I’m getting weird. bye.
