-February 26th. It was the last day of the school week. We have Friday off due to parent teacher conference. My proposal turned out really cute and good. I had the best one in the class and showed a lot of people of who I really am. The day ended and I came home to help my Grandparents with some things. Had some lunch and fell asleep till 6. We were having pizza tonight for movie night. Ashlyn and McEllie stopped by again cause they were in the neighborhood. It was a really laid back night. I kept falling asleep, Lydia called, talked to some old friends and now I will finish my night with talking to Kayla.
-February 25th. My grandparents are in town and are staying with us till they leave. We had some amazing mexican food just as I remember growing up and eating at their dinner table. We all sat around and chatted, watched American Idol and more. Ashlyn and McEllie came over to play with my Super Heros and then left. Later in the night my Grandma and I went to the store to get some supplies for my proposal. I know your thinking your only 17! Why you getting married and to who? It's not a real proposal. It was an assignment for my Adult Roles class so you don't have to worry reader. My Grandma helped me get things ready for the proposal. It turned out perfect. I was really satisfied with it.
-February 24th. Tiefighter played tonight and it was amazing. I thought they were playing yesterday cause I thought it was the 24th than but it wasn't. Around 5ish we headed down to Provo for the show. It was Nato, Cody, B-Money and I all in the car. We called up Adam G and we decided to pick him up on our way down. Once we picked him up and was about to get back on the freeway we stopped at the gas station for gas, drinks and sweets. B-Money and I walked over to Mickey D's to grab some food before the show. As usual the rest of the car ride was sing-a-longs and good ol talks. We finally arrived in Provo and Pier 49 was actually letting people inside before the show. It defiantly beat the cold. All the bands played good tonight. Urban Terror jumped on stage in between one of the bands and did a Bearclaw cover. All the bands played and I couldn't wait till TieFighter. Finally Tiefighter was up and I was pumped. Not a whole lot of people knew about Tiefighter. So it was Nico, Mark and I running around all pumped and singing along. They played an amazing set and every song I wanted to hear. Defiantly one of my favorite bands that I have seen live and some very nice guys. That was my night and how I wish I could relive it!!
-February 23rd. It was Monday. The highlight of today was that I went bowling and beat everyone on my team once again! After school I went to Brians and hung out with Nato for a bit. Brian and Courtney came home and Nato had to go to work. I ended up falling asleep while Brian played Fight Night. They were leaving and I had Brian drop me off at home. I slept for the rest of the day and woke up at 11:23ish and checked some stuff, talked to some kids and did my daily routine. I just hope I will be able to fall asleep tonight and not reply yesterdays night.
-February 22nd. It wasn't your average Sunday. I was up by 12 trying to work on some stuff that needed to be done. Things weren't going the way they were suppose to so I gave up on it for the day. Once I got back home I got ready for the day and waited till Nato came and got me. We hit up the bank and it was off to Uprok. We arrived at the shop and it was dead closed. We called up our homie and asked how this was suppose to go down. He told us and than told us to come over to Model Citizen and kicked it while they worked on some stuff. Nato and I started walking and Dekoi came flying by honking his horn and screaming. We kept walking to our destination and found all the homies painting. Days like these are just a break from my day to day routine. It was a nice overcast day and we just got to kick it with a good set of kids. Stem, Anemal, Dekoi, Kier, Phuze, Gilby haha, Demr, and Kuhr was getting down on the wall. This would be the first time I would meet Kuhr and finally get to watch him paint out of the 7 or 8 times I've missed the oppurtunity. That dude is probably one of the funniest people I've ever met. It was more fun talking to him than watching him paint. After hanging out a bit at the wall Nato and I were getting pretty hungry and went to grab some food at Burger King. We got there and ordered our food. Some homeless fool one a free Whopper by playing that quarter game with the spinning axel. All of the homeless people were celebrating and were pumped off the win haha. It was pretty funny to watch this all go down. Nato and I ate pretty much our Dinner and than bounced over to Uprok to kick it with everyone and wait for the show to start. We hung out for another 45 minutes while we waited for the guys to get to Salt Lake City. They arrived and were getting set up. It was finally time to have this show that we've all waited for.
Egadz! through down first and holy shit was that dude amazing. I wanted him and Broken to battle but it didn't go down.
After Egadz! Broken played a few tracks and then FINALLY (n1nth) cloud got up and killed it as usual. It's always a good time when our homies from the East come down to play. Restiform was like 3OH!3 and no one was getting in to it.
We left pretty early during that set after chatting with broken, grounded, norm and egadz. We went back to my house to through some stuff down on itunes and hang out.
The show was out way early so there was plenty of time in the night just to hang out.
It was a nice way to end this eventfufilled week.
-February 21st. Today felt like a Sunday. It was a laid back day. I hung out with my mother for most of the day. Nato called me up stating there was a slight chance that we might be heading up to Grand Junction. He came and got me and went over to Brians to bbq and play things by ear. His woman couldn't make the trip so we ate and hung out for the whole night. That was most laid back Saturday I have had in awhile. It was nice to have things not so cluttered and peaceful.
-February 20th. We all woke up around 1ish 2ish and watched Step Brothers. Everyone got ready and we had some cereal. My brother came home and than my mother and we all visited for a bit. C-los and the girls decided they were going to hit the road. They all left around 4ish. After they left I called up Nato to come get me. It was Brian's birthday today. Everyone was over at the house for this event. Brian got birthday beatings, we played video games, ate food, laughed and etc. Later in the night we all went to the gym to play some basketball. We played a good hand full of games and called it a night. We bounced back to Brians once again and everyone did their own things. A few people left and the rest played games. Around 2 or something we decided to go back to the gym to play some more ball, hot tub, swim and sit in the steam room. We were at the Gym for pretty much the rest of the night. I didn't end up coming home till 4 am and passing out. It was a long and nice day.
-February 19th. Today felt like a Friday to me considering it was only Thursday. I got checked out for 8th period and Jeze and I went to Ihop to get some food and visit. We chatted with Dallas and I got a Sundae. It's been at least 5 years since I've had a Sundae. So this topped the day off as the cherries topped my Sundae! I came home and straightened up the house because Kayla was coming in town. After I picked up the house I ended up falling asleep. I got some hours in and I woke up to Nato and everyone banging on my door. It was time to mob down to Provo. We had some good talks on the way down and laughs. Once we made it into town we did the usual and stopped at Death or Glory to see the boys. It was just another night at the shop. Ronnie and Breck weren't doing to much, Coach was getting inked and we hung out. Soon it was time for us to head down to the show. We arrived with Nico and Dan running around and shared our exchanges of I miss you and How have you been's. We paid got in; I got to see Kayla, old friends and had a good time.
Open Fire is dope as crack. hahah I'm glad I got to see those boys live and hopefully they will take my word and jump on Rain Fest. So we will see what the future has for that to come!
I Declare War was amazing. Everyone got real hyphy, John(singer) kicked me in the leg, I busted Corbin's lip open, circle pits, two steps and a variety of other things happened. At the end of their set we made them play one more and than everyone kicked it acopella to FireStorm. We ended up hanging out at the Ozz for a few hours. We all just kinda chatted while watching the local samoan's play ping-pong and pool. Got to listen to some good ol Reggae, and had some good laughs.
Everyone was going to get a hotel and go down to Salt Lake City and hang out but things ended up changing. So another hour went by and we all got hungry and decided to head down to Brians. We arrived and he was cutting his hair, we asked him if he wanted to go get dinner for a little Birthday thing. He was down so we all headed to Denny's. Dinner was the perfect thing to do after the show. C-los is my boy...that's all I gotta say! When we went to pay we ended up buying a Shammork and put it on the wall.
Once dinner was settled in everyone's stomachs we went back to Brians to play video games and hang out. I got a Running Riot! Another way to end the night. Than C-los, Holly, Kayla and I decided to go to my house to get some sleep. We arrived home and set up our beds, had some water and watched Step Brothers.
Kayla and I didn't end up going to bed till like 8 tops. Today was a good day!
-February 18th. Around 6 o’clock yesterday I gave one of my good friends a call to see what was going on for the night. He was at a friends birthday party and had to go pick up Ivan. He told me that today was the day that we were taking Ivan out to Vernal. I told him that I was up for the trip and I would give him company for the road. Everyone met up at my house around 7 o’clock and got on the computer so that we could Map Quest the fastest way possible for the drive. Nikki ended showing up a little bit later to I guess to drop off her Jetta. She bought everyone snacks and drinks and I thought she was going to come along for the trip. She had other plans though I guess. She had to deal with some relationship problems with one of my friends. So she went on her way and we got in the Jetta and started our adventure. We stopped at Wendy’s to get some food for the drive. We cracked some jokes with the lady at the drive-in and had some good laughs, paid for our food and started our way up the Canyon. By the time we arrived in Park City my stomach was killing me. Eating 25 chicken nuggets, large fries, and a large Coke wasn’t feeling to nice. I’ve never been so full in my life. I could barely finish my dinner; I had to give out some of my food to the other guys cause I couldn’t finish. I pulled my sit back to relax and at least attempt trying to get comfortable. We drove for hours and finally ended up in some town. Nato filled up with some more gas and asked the lady for directions. We got the directions and we were off, a few hours went by and we knew something wasn't right. We stopped and waited for a car so we could flag them down. Come to find out we were going the wrong and was on our way to Moab.
-February 17th. I don't remember
-February 16th. Justin, McEllie, Ashlyn came over and we had pizza and hung out.
-February 15th. I don't recall what happened.
-February 14th. Happy Valentines Day! I started mine off around 2 o'clock this morning. Kayla had been working on a suprise for me all night and it was just perfect. She is my first Valentine I've ever had and the first person to actually give a Valentines gift. Well besides the elementry Valentine's day where you would build boxes for other students to put cards in. I love you Kayla Rae Anderson so much!
Later is when the rest of the day will go down. So I will be killing time until the Sun decides to call it a rest and give the other side of the world some love.
-February 13th. Finally the week was over. I was supposed to head over to Josie's to kick it with her and P.O.S but I couldn't get a hold of her. I talked to Kayla while I was trying to get everything planned out and than I finally decided that I didn't want to go to the show anymore and I would rather spend the day talking to Kayla. Kayla and I talked till she had to go eat dinner. I took this oppurtunity to go get my mother and I dinner. Mom ordered pizza and twenty minutes later I had to go pick it up. I arrived at the place and had to wait another ten minutes because some lady ordered 28 LARGE PIZZA'S!! It was the most ludicris thing I've ever seen. They hooked it up with a free 2 liter of soda though. Afterwards I came home and had dinner with my mom. Once I was done with dinner Kayla and I talked for a bit more before I headed over to Brians. I was there for a bit and than Nato and I went to go get Ivan from work. We headed over there and arrived early; so we went drove down the street to get some drinks and than to go get Ivan. While we were at 711 I your teamed Nato with some gross classy Juggalo's! Nato wasn't too happy! Ivan called shortly after and we went back down the street to pick him up.
He headed over to Alyssa's afterwords so Ivan could spend time with his women. We did this for the rest of the night and than I came home.
When I cam home my night wasn't even close to being done. I logged in and sure enough my love was still up working on my Valentines Suprise. She finished it up and we spent the rest of the night talking and ended up falling asleep on the phone together. Ending my nights with her like that makes 280 miles worth the wait.
-February 12th. I hung out with the usual
-February 11th. This last week pretty much I haven't felt like writing. I still have that feeling of where I feel something wrong but I still can't place my finger on it.
-February 10th. It was nice to be home. There was a part of me that felt like there was something wrong. I ended up crying to my mom and calling it a day. It was a weird day.
-February 9th. Hung out at the Denver Mall all day. Nato met up with this girl he knows, walked around, got kicked out of the mall, got food, and came home in terrible snow conditions and a bunch of good times in the car.
-February 8th. I thought we were supposed to be heading home today. The guys had different plans though. We weren't leaving till Monday. We hit up a mall close to where we were staying, made jokes with Hollywood because we were "famous" people. Laughed a shit ton. Came home to play a pick up game and drink hot co-co. The night was just a hang out night. We watched Cloverfield, and whatever was on the t.v. It was a pretty relaxing night just hanging out with the guys.
-February 7th. Ivan woke me up around 9 to take him to work. My knee was killing me and it took about 10 minutes to get out of the door. I dropped him off and came home to pass out. Later I got a call from the homies asking if I still wanted to go to Denver. I said I didn't know if I wanted to because of my knee and I had no money. We left it at that and a "I'll call you back" within an hour I got a call saying it fuck it dude! You need to come with us. So I packed my bags up and waited for David.
David arrived a few hours later with Anthony and we hit up the gas station and Mickey D's to get some food. We got another call saying that Anthonee wanted to go so we went and got him. Afterwords it was finally time to hit the freeway. We were on the road forever! We had our road trip songs, talks and our moments of watching David push his car to the max. It was only 125 but we were making some damn good time.
Wyoming is the most boring place to drive through! We ended up getting pulled over for doing 107 and tailing to close to the car in front of us. The officer was a real asshole and demanded that we paid 290$ in cash right there or we were going to jail. David only had his debit card and asked if he could go get cash. The officer told us to go back to the truck stop and he would follow. It was some real bullshit. After the cop took the money we were free to go on our way. We picked up some treats and talked shit on the cop and got back on the road.
For the rest of the drive I dazed in and out of sleep, sang songs with the boys and laughed.
We were pretty close to Denver when we got the call from Nato and the guys saying that we needed to hurry because there was two bands before CDC. We arrived in time to this little Punk House/Place. It was not so much diverse as California. Just a whole lot of punks. We chatted with CDC and some other dude who was selling old merch from bands that he had collected over the years. The bands that we got to watch was very good. A fight broke out between a hardcore kid and some punk during CDC. That was pretty funny, other than that it was a damn good show and look for me on the CDC Dvd!!!!!
Afterwards we headed on down to our Motel. Nato almost killed us and went down a one way street which was pretty funny looking back at it. We arrived at Royalty Palace. This place was straight up Ghetto. You know the Motels people stay at in the movies? With blood stains and gross carpet and just nasty. Well this is what we got! We didn't believe the guys when they told us the room was horrid. We seen it for ourselves though when we arrived.
The night went on and people made their trips to the gas station and other places. We spent most the night laughing and talking. Nato passed out to the point where we thought he was dead. Joe started dancing naked over Nato and doing Power Squats. I've never had a night where I've laughed so hard. Nato ended up waking up later in the night after we had a blast in the ghetto of Colfax. We showed him the video and Nato was furious. Nato wanted to mace Joe, but I recommend the fire extinguisher and Nato sprayed Joe down with it setting the fire alarm off that we thought was broken. It was one hell of a night in Colfax. Afterwards we left to get food and I should have been on my way to Grand Junction. But there was a big part of me that was telling me that I shouldn't. I followed my gut and stayed with the boys. David called in some places and got his hook ups and we got a real hotel that we could check into later. Nato, Cody and I headed back to the ghetto, got ready for bed and got a call saying come to the new hotel. They are letting us check in early! We bounced on down there to get a good morning of sleep. What a first day in Denver!!!
-February 6th. The last day of the week and the first day to kick off the weekend. School went by slow as it could. After school I spent the time picking up the house for my Mother and getting my clothes ready for the Viewing. I ended up taking a little power nap. I woke back up to my Mom asking me if I knew what the time was and had to get going. I headed down the Viewing and actually went to the wrong Funeral Home so that was awesome and awkward. I called Lyndsey and found out where it was and got down there. I visited for a minute and paid my respects. I don't like the feeling of death. I don't like being in it's presence. I've escaped it plenty of times and I don't like that fact that nothing is forever. It brought a lot of the Nichols Family together. Family came across the states to see their loved one. I had a few tears shed on my shoulders and had to go.
After changing out of my dress clothes it was time to go the show. The show was good besides the fact that I hurt my leg. I was bummed on that one; because that is the first time that I've ever been hurt at a show.
Afterwords Kayla and I came back to my house and tried to spend as much time possible together before they had to go later that night. Once she left Ivan and I headed downtown to resolve some things at Nikki's. We had some damn good talks, met up with everyone and hung out. Later we went to Beto's and talked to some crazy crackhead and than came home. Ivan and I chatted some more while I iced my knee and laughed at Step Brothers. It was one way to start the weekend off.
-February 5th. My last and final day to sleep in I passed up and didn't even go to school today. Today I mobbed down to Layton with a bunch of the homies to paint Propaganda Skate Park in Layton. I got a call around 8:30ish from Scr. 01 telling me to get up and he is coming to get me regardless. I got ready, ate some breakfast and watched a little bit of Step Brothers. With in a couple of hours him and Werst had arrived at my house to pick me up. We headed out around 11 and we started the drive by stopping at NPS to meet up with Dekoy and the rest of the homies. We arrived and chatted for a bit, we had to go pick up some kids so we got back in our cars and headed that way. We drove in a circle for a bit for some odd reason. Once we had everyone in the cars and had filled up the tanks, it was time to hit the Free-way and head on down to Layton. Scrubs, Werst and I ended up chatting the whole way up their while drinking our powerade and pepsi's and trying to catch up to Dekoy's van because that steez can haul ass!!!
About a half hour later we arrived to our destination. This place was HUGE!!! It was a very nice set up for a indoor skatepark. Everyone chatted with eachother to find out who was doing what and who wanted what spots. Dekoy talked to the owner to see what he wanted and he wanted a big roller on the floor that said Propaganda. Phuze thought it was stupid idea and told the dude straight up. Scrubs, Werst and I went to the store to get some supplies and get some paint. We drove around for a good twenty minutes trying to find a store and than we found a Lowes. We mobbed up in their, went to the bathroom and than picked out the color for the paint. Once the paint was mixed up and we had our supplies and Scrubs was done throwing cards down isles we checked out and bounced to get Wendy's. Once we picked up food it was time to go back to Propaganda and get started. By the time we arrived back the boys had already started on the floor. A few other kids had started painting in the back. A few others were hitting the ramps and this went on for hours before the other set of us bounced home. Werst ended up getting sick so I finished his fill and we got things done a little faster. It was about 11 o' clock before we called it a day and everything was done. We cleaned up our mess and headed home. Werster fell asleep in the back; Scrubs and I had a life talk and it was a good one. I'm very glad I had the chance to hang out with these kids. It's been awhile and I'm not giving it up.
-February 4th. Today was the second day of sleeping in till 9! I love having testing passed off and not having to worry about it. School was school and went by like usual. It seems to go by a lot faster when you don't think about Summer Break so much. Nikki and ABC came and got me and we headed to the mall. We stopped at Wal-Greens before so we could develope our pictures from the day before and headed to the mall. We were at the mall for quite a bit and than we bounced up to Nikki's and hung out.
We ended up watching Requiem for a Dream and what a trip that movie was. I'm so glad I don't know anyone close that goes through that or have lost anyone in my life to something like that. It was a pretty laid back day. We went back to the train yard again but just to watch trains pass on by. It gave me the idea of getting a train set track. Like dumb little train sets that old people have. Yeah that's what's up!!!
-February 3rd. Today was the first day of being able to sleep in till 9! The Grand Slam thing was going down at Denny's but I took sleeping in over food. School was pretty good and pretty quick. I came home and hung out with my Mom for a bit. We had dinner and than Nato and Nikki came and got me. Nikki stumbled upon my Fish eye camera and instantly requested that we go take pictures. I grabbed four rolls of film, the camera and we were gone. We got about half way down to Salt Lake before Ivan called us up asking if we could buy some pizza's for the kids he works with because he doesn't know how to cook. We made a U-Turn on 7th and headed to Little Cesars, got the pizza and headed to Ivan's work. Once we arrived we gave him 1PAC-Man pizza, and 1 complete pizza and than bounced back to Sl. We arrived at the train yard and took pictures for a bit and than bounced back to the car.
Afterwards we bounced on over to Brian's to hang out and so Nato could get a haircut. Today was a very good day; you have no idea all what happened. Nikki gave me a Spa Facial and it was way relaxing. It was a first for me and I highly recommend it. Courtney has some bomb popscicles by the way and the damn pizza bites burnt my mouth.

Today was a good day.
-February 2nd. You know that feeling right before you get sick of having a heavy head and feeling slow? That's how all today was. I only did an hour of remediation and found myself stumbling to my bed when I arrived home. I slept for a good couple of hours and awake and 8 to get dinner. After dinner Ivan and Devin showed up to visit soon. It was a pretty damn good day besides the fact that I felt like a bag of bricks.
-February 1st. I was supposed to get up and walk trax with Nick and take some flicks. I evidently decided not to get out of bed and feel my body weight sink lower into my mattress. I was way to tired to get out of bed. Kayla ended up getting me out of bed with a phone call. I miss her so much... Nadia, Michelle and Chelsex was supposed to come over but didn't because Nadia is lame and had homework. I headed up to Nikki's so I could get my headphones. Chatted for a bit and than Devin and Ivan showed up. I hung out for a little longer and than bounced to come home. Lyndsey and Micheala came over for a bit and chatted. It was a good nice little visit and that's all what happened. It was an easy going Sunday but a very good one to start off the first day of February. I'm getting closer and closer to being done with this 1 year project.
-February 21st. Today felt like a Sunday. It was a laid back day. I hung out with my mother for most of the day.

-February 14th. Happy Valentines Day! I started mine off around 2 o'clock this morning. Kayla had been working on a suprise for me all night and it was just perfect. She is my first Valentine I've ever had and the first person to actually give a Valentines gift. Well besides the elementry Valentine's day where you would build boxes for other students to put cards in. I love you Kayla Rae Anderson so much!
Later is when the rest of the day will go down. So I will be killing time until the Sun decides to call it a rest and give the other side of the world some love.
-February 13th. Finally the week was over. I was supposed to head over to Josie's to kick it with her and P.O.S but I couldn't get a hold of her. I talked to Kayla while I was trying to get everything planned out and than I finally decided that I didn't want to go to the show anymore and I would rather spend the day talking to Kayla. Kayla and I talked till she had to go eat dinner. I took this oppurtunity to go get my mother and I dinner. Mom ordered pizza and twenty minutes later I had to go pick it up. I arrived at the place and had to wait another ten minutes because some lady ordered 28 LARGE PIZZA'S!! It was the most ludicris thing I've ever seen. They hooked it up with a free 2 liter of soda though. Afterwards I came home and had dinner with my mom. Once I was done with dinner Kayla and I talked for a bit more before I headed over to Brians. I was there for a bit and than Nato and I went to go get Ivan from work. We headed over there and arrived early; so we went drove down the street to get some drinks and than to go get Ivan. While we were at 711 I your teamed Nato with some gross classy Juggalo's! Nato wasn't too happy! Ivan called shortly after and we went back down the street to pick him up.
He headed over to Alyssa's afterwords so Ivan could spend time with his women. We did this for the rest of the night and than I came home.
When I cam home my night wasn't even close to being done. I logged in and sure enough my love was still up working on my Valentines Suprise. She finished it up and we spent the rest of the night talking and ended up falling asleep on the phone together. Ending my nights with her like that makes 280 miles worth the wait.
-February 12th. I hung out with the usual
-February 11th. This last week pretty much I haven't felt like writing. I still have that feeling of where I feel something wrong but I still can't place my finger on it.
-February 10th. It was nice to be home. There was a part of me that felt like there was something wrong. I ended up crying to my mom and calling it a day. It was a weird day.
-February 9th. Hung out at the Denver Mall all day. Nato met up with this girl he knows, walked around, got kicked out of the mall, got food, and came home in terrible snow conditions and a bunch of good times in the car.
-February 8th. I thought we were supposed to be heading home today. The guys had different plans though. We weren't leaving till Monday. We hit up a mall close to where we were staying, made jokes with Hollywood because we were "famous" people. Laughed a shit ton. Came home to play a pick up game and drink hot co-co. The night was just a hang out night. We watched Cloverfield, and whatever was on the t.v. It was a pretty relaxing night just hanging out with the guys.
-February 7th. Ivan woke me up around 9 to take him to work. My knee was killing me and it took about 10 minutes to get out of the door. I dropped him off and came home to pass out. Later I got a call from the homies asking if I still wanted to go to Denver. I said I didn't know if I wanted to because of my knee and I had no money. We left it at that and a "I'll call you back" within an hour I got a call saying it fuck it dude! You need to come with us. So I packed my bags up and waited for David.
David arrived a few hours later with Anthony and we hit up the gas station and Mickey D's to get some food. We got another call saying that Anthonee wanted to go so we went and got him. Afterwords it was finally time to hit the freeway. We were on the road forever! We had our road trip songs, talks and our moments of watching David push his car to the max. It was only 125 but we were making some damn good time.
Wyoming is the most boring place to drive through! We ended up getting pulled over for doing 107 and tailing to close to the car in front of us. The officer was a real asshole and demanded that we paid 290$ in cash right there or we were going to jail. David only had his debit card and asked if he could go get cash. The officer told us to go back to the truck stop and he would follow. It was some real bullshit. After the cop took the money we were free to go on our way. We picked up some treats and talked shit on the cop and got back on the road.
For the rest of the drive I dazed in and out of sleep, sang songs with the boys and laughed.
We were pretty close to Denver when we got the call from Nato and the guys saying that we needed to hurry because there was two bands before CDC. We arrived in time to this little Punk House/Place. It was not so much diverse as California. Just a whole lot of punks. We chatted with CDC and some other dude who was selling old merch from bands that he had collected over the years. The bands that we got to watch was very good. A fight broke out between a hardcore kid and some punk during CDC. That was pretty funny, other than that it was a damn good show and look for me on the CDC Dvd!!!!!
Afterwards we headed on down to our Motel. Nato almost killed us and went down a one way street which was pretty funny looking back at it. We arrived at Royalty Palace. This place was straight up Ghetto. You know the Motels people stay at in the movies? With blood stains and gross carpet and just nasty. Well this is what we got! We didn't believe the guys when they told us the room was horrid. We seen it for ourselves though when we arrived.
The night went on and people made their trips to the gas station and other places. We spent most the night laughing and talking. Nato passed out to the point where we thought he was dead. Joe started dancing naked over Nato and doing Power Squats. I've never had a night where I've laughed so hard. Nato ended up waking up later in the night after we had a blast in the ghetto of Colfax. We showed him the video and Nato was furious. Nato wanted to mace Joe, but I recommend the fire extinguisher and Nato sprayed Joe down with it setting the fire alarm off that we thought was broken. It was one hell of a night in Colfax. Afterwards we left to get food and I should have been on my way to Grand Junction. But there was a big part of me that was telling me that I shouldn't. I followed my gut and stayed with the boys. David called in some places and got his hook ups and we got a real hotel that we could check into later. Nato, Cody and I headed back to the ghetto, got ready for bed and got a call saying come to the new hotel. They are letting us check in early! We bounced on down there to get a good morning of sleep. What a first day in Denver!!!
-February 6th. The last day of the week and the first day to kick off the weekend. School went by slow as it could. After school I spent the time picking up the house for my Mother and getting my clothes ready for the Viewing. I ended up taking a little power nap. I woke back up to my Mom asking me if I knew what the time was and had to get going. I headed down the Viewing and actually went to the wrong Funeral Home so that was awesome and awkward. I called Lyndsey and found out where it was and got down there. I visited for a minute and paid my respects. I don't like the feeling of death. I don't like being in it's presence. I've escaped it plenty of times and I don't like that fact that nothing is forever. It brought a lot of the Nichols Family together. Family came across the states to see their loved one. I had a few tears shed on my shoulders and had to go.
After changing out of my dress clothes it was time to go the show. The show was good besides the fact that I hurt my leg. I was bummed on that one; because that is the first time that I've ever been hurt at a show.
Afterwords Kayla and I came back to my house and tried to spend as much time possible together before they had to go later that night. Once she left Ivan and I headed downtown to resolve some things at Nikki's. We had some damn good talks, met up with everyone and hung out. Later we went to Beto's and talked to some crazy crackhead and than came home. Ivan and I chatted some more while I iced my knee and laughed at Step Brothers. It was one way to start the weekend off.
-February 5th. My last and final day to sleep in I passed up and didn't even go to school today. Today I mobbed down to Layton with a bunch of the homies to paint Propaganda Skate Park in Layton. I got a call around 8:30ish from Scr. 01 telling me to get up and he is coming to get me regardless. I got ready, ate some breakfast and watched a little bit of Step Brothers. With in a couple of hours him and Werst had arrived at my house to pick me up. We headed out around 11 and we started the drive by stopping at NPS to meet up with Dekoy and the rest of the homies. We arrived and chatted for a bit, we had to go pick up some kids so we got back in our cars and headed that way. We drove in a circle for a bit for some odd reason. Once we had everyone in the cars and had filled up the tanks, it was time to hit the Free-way and head on down to Layton. Scrubs, Werst and I ended up chatting the whole way up their while drinking our powerade and pepsi's and trying to catch up to Dekoy's van because that steez can haul ass!!!
About a half hour later we arrived to our destination. This place was HUGE!!! It was a very nice set up for a indoor skatepark. Everyone chatted with eachother to find out who was doing what and who wanted what spots. Dekoy talked to the owner to see what he wanted and he wanted a big roller on the floor that said Propaganda. Phuze thought it was stupid idea and told the dude straight up. Scrubs, Werst and I went to the store to get some supplies and get some paint. We drove around for a good twenty minutes trying to find a store and than we found a Lowes. We mobbed up in their, went to the bathroom and than picked out the color for the paint. Once the paint was mixed up and we had our supplies and Scrubs was done throwing cards down isles we checked out and bounced to get Wendy's. Once we picked up food it was time to go back to Propaganda and get started. By the time we arrived back the boys had already started on the floor. A few other kids had started painting in the back. A few others were hitting the ramps and this went on for hours before the other set of us bounced home. Werst ended up getting sick so I finished his fill and we got things done a little faster. It was about 11 o' clock before we called it a day and everything was done. We cleaned up our mess and headed home. Werster fell asleep in the back; Scrubs and I had a life talk and it was a good one. I'm very glad I had the chance to hang out with these kids. It's been awhile and I'm not giving it up.
-February 4th. Today was the second day of sleeping in till 9! I love having testing passed off and not having to worry about it. School was school and went by like usual. It seems to go by a lot faster when you don't think about Summer Break so much. Nikki and ABC came and got me and we headed to the mall. We stopped at Wal-Greens before so we could develope our pictures from the day before and headed to the mall. We were at the mall for quite a bit and than we bounced up to Nikki's and hung out.
We ended up watching Requiem for a Dream and what a trip that movie was. I'm so glad I don't know anyone close that goes through that or have lost anyone in my life to something like that. It was a pretty laid back day. We went back to the train yard again but just to watch trains pass on by. It gave me the idea of getting a train set track. Like dumb little train sets that old people have. Yeah that's what's up!!!
-February 3rd. Today was the first day of being able to sleep in till 9! The Grand Slam thing was going down at Denny's but I took sleeping in over food. School was pretty good and pretty quick. I came home and hung out with my Mom for a bit. We had dinner and than Nato and Nikki came and got me. Nikki stumbled upon my Fish eye camera and instantly requested that we go take pictures. I grabbed four rolls of film, the camera and we were gone. We got about half way down to Salt Lake before Ivan called us up asking if we could buy some pizza's for the kids he works with because he doesn't know how to cook. We made a U-Turn on 7th and headed to Little Cesars, got the pizza and headed to Ivan's work. Once we arrived we gave him 1PAC-Man pizza, and 1 complete pizza and than bounced back to Sl. We arrived at the train yard and took pictures for a bit and than bounced back to the car.
Afterwards we bounced on over to Brian's to hang out and so Nato could get a haircut. Today was a very good day; you have no idea all what happened. Nikki gave me a Spa Facial and it was way relaxing. It was a first for me and I highly recommend it. Courtney has some bomb popscicles by the way and the damn pizza bites burnt my mouth.

Today was a good day.
-February 2nd. You know that feeling right before you get sick of having a heavy head and feeling slow? That's how all today was. I only did an hour of remediation and found myself stumbling to my bed when I arrived home. I slept for a good couple of hours and awake and 8 to get dinner. After dinner Ivan and Devin showed up to visit soon. It was a pretty damn good day besides the fact that I felt like a bag of bricks.
-February 1st. I was supposed to get up and walk trax with Nick and take some flicks. I evidently decided not to get out of bed and feel my body weight sink lower into my mattress. I was way to tired to get out of bed. Kayla ended up getting me out of bed with a phone call. I miss her so much... Nadia, Michelle and Chelsex was supposed to come over but didn't because Nadia is lame and had homework. I headed up to Nikki's so I could get my headphones. Chatted for a bit and than Devin and Ivan showed up. I hung out for a little longer and than bounced to come home. Lyndsey and Micheala came over for a bit and chatted. It was a good nice little visit and that's all what happened. It was an easy going Sunday but a very good one to start off the first day of February. I'm getting closer and closer to being done with this 1 year project.
