Ruth Marie
Being at the cheer competition today reminded me of all times I was forced and pulled along to go watch Ruth cheer. During the time I hated it, when actually, looking back I loved every minute of it. Being able to go out and watch my sister do something she loved, she was really good at it. & not to mention the attention from all the hot girls :]
My mom would get so upset, every time they...

Last day
Monday was my last day of high school. It just hit me.
Last night I had Ariel over for dinner.
Wanted Great movie, now we can mark that off the list.
I found out that Ariel hasn’t seen several movies that I really like, so we now have a list of movies to watch. This is easier then picking a movie out, since we are both unable to pick anything out, and end up beating each other up with...
Finally.
I finished high school today. I’m ready to travel.
It’s been awhile, but I put together a photo shoot today for Kenleigh. We got several decent frames.

Last night, me and Kenleigh went out downtown. We hit up The Liquid Room, Olive or Twist, and Rhino. It was fun, each club had it’s own vide. It didn’t hit us until we got half way there that this was the first time we both we’re going clubbing with our actual ID’s. So, it was a low key night clubbing like we should be, as 18 year olds, drinking redbull with nothing in it....

I just went to O2 gym with my dad, I had no idea they made gyms like this place. The cardio room was pitch dark with stars on the ceiling. & they had an express room with surfing work outs, that played my favorite Bob Marley, Sublime, Blink, everything old school and new surf rock. It was insane.
Also, things are lookin up for my trip to Indonesia India? I’m not sure which one...
What was that movie called?
I’m back in Wilmington for the weekend, visiting friends and family.
My dad is addicted to Wii. He’s been practicing for two weeks on the tennis game so he can beat me. Its so funny watching him get mad when I beat him. but I must say he’s getting really good, haha.
I also sat at my mumus for a few hours tonight listening to lessons from Megan and Nicole, they always seem to...

I had the day off today. Me and B went to Hole 13 again and met up with Hannah, Meredith, and Ricky. We all walked around the creek trails, the same trails I’ve rode horses on for years with Jay.
I did a lot of work around the house, then took Ariel out to dinner. Later we met Megan, Tyler, and Lindsey for 4 wheeling. We hooked the car hood to the 4 wheeler again and took turns flying...
5 Years Ago Today
I remember holding a little boy that was only a few hours old. I was 13, holding him at that point realizing he would be a major part of my life. I was right, today my little buddy, Brantlee turned 5. He’s my world and watching him grow up over the years is something I am so blessed to be apart of. Some people know the story, others don’t, all that matter’s is he is loved by a...
Megan Fox
Now that I’m famous from the 2 half second shots on my debut show- One Tree Hill. I want to dedicate this post to the little people who made this possible. hahaha It was a fun experience, another memory to add to many with great friends.
I’m on the look out right now for snow, the town will shut down when the first flake drops.
When the livings easy
I’m ready for summer.
Bum no more
Although I would love to hitch hike the US with no care in the world- I am no longer a bum.
Yes, I have 3 days of high school left. A decent job. & I was accepted to East Carolina University.
23 Flavors
There’s a girl I know, who is different from a lot of people and special in a lot of ways. We have both known eachother for awhile but it wasn’t until this year that we really got to know eachother- we both lost people that we relied on more then we thought and things just fell into place. Change is a hard thing, but when I’m with her its not so bad. We have so much in common, it...

Yesterday-
The “Monds” side of the famiy- got together at Mumus house on Wrightsville, theres something so undescribeable about being in that house with the family. Yesterday’s get together was for my Mumus 77th? birthday, which is today- She’s a free spirit, an amazing artist, and for me the most influential person of my life.
While my Aunt Beth was coaching my mom...
No Black Pearl
My dads side of the family came over tonight for an oyster roast.
I got denied from UNCW.
& I got my old job back at Omars Italian joint.
I guess with bad news comes good news, a jobs a job and as long as I’m making money to go towards my trip, I’m good. All these years of hard work and great grades isn’t paying off… yet. I still have two more colleges to hear back...

is a driveway. A long driveway but I often find myself driving the hour and ten minutes to stay here for the weekend.
I have a lot going on this weekend, but I still laugh at my dad getting mad at the Wii.

King
My little brother, Brantlee, got Homecoming King for his Pre-K class today. He was so excited and “nervous” about it. Ugh I can’t believe how fast he has grown up. He had to fill out a paper about himself for the game/homecoming this Thursday. He picked his three things he likes to do:
Surfing (I held him once before he learned to swim on my board and let him go, he was scared...
Wisdom
No matter how many days of school I have left, I seem to still find myself stressing out over little things, but when I think about it I have nothing to stress about in school. Maybe its the fact that I still haven’t heard back from a college and I’m still jobless.
I got a wisdom tooth pulled today, two gone two to go. As I sat in the chair looking into the bright light, I realized it...
80 Years
Today was my Papa’s 80th Birthday. Family, old high school buddies, and gas company employees from many years ago all met at the Sizzlin’ in Dunn to surprise him. When I was really young I can remember going to the gas company and seeing my Papa or staying at his house for the day, I used to love going and looking under his chair for change that had fallen out of his pockets, not till...
Come Monday
Only one more Monday of high school left after today. No more staying an extra night in Wilmington and waking up at 5am just to make it home for school, on that dreaded Monday.
I entered my first major art contest today. I sent in a detailed statement and portfolio of photography. We’ll see.
Old job might become a new job? & I made a return to the gym.
I’m really ready for...
I'm in church with Nicole
Gumption- is myoneword to live by in 2009.
I went downtown today with my dad to an art show called The Starving Artist.
We both left understanding why its called the starving artist.
I hope one day people can come view my work & dislike it as much as I disliked todays work. Without criticism an artist will starve.

Bum
Yes, this is true. I might be one. & hitch hiking needs to make a return of trust because what else do I have to lose. Bumming rides from town to town all over the states of this united nation sounds about right. I’m at a point in my life where I’m desperate for something to come up, whether it’s a job, college, or a plane ticket to nowhere I need my opportunity to do...
Curious case of
The best film I’ve seen in awhile.
I realize more everyday of my life how important my family is to me, simple things in life are what make the most sense. No matter how old I get its gonna always be “cool” for my big brother to come pick me up and take me out with him for the day.
& my cousin Nicole, with her phone calls that are short, to the point with no good bye, or...

Yesterday, while waiting to get my hair cut I overheard a mans conversation about his view on life.
“I dont know why anyone would move away from Dunn, if you ask me Dunns the center of the world.”
Yeah, that did it for me.
Not that this hasn’t always been my life long resolution, but “one of many” new years resolutions is to continue to see and experience...
