dang i havnt posted for a while.... aight here how my week has been....

saturday: this is LAST saturday..... the 22nd?..... i think that's right. anyhow i went to a local break dance tournament called breakers delight in silver spring.... that junx was phat... it cost 10 bux to get in but it was one of the tighest things ive ever seen..... well i guess cuz ive never been to anything like it b4 and the only breaking ive seen is my friends basically.... and i personally am a lil too hefty to break..... but it was a lotta fun... the judgers were these two guys from rock steady crew... they were sorta old.... but they could move for older dudes..... but they were pretty bad judges and messed the brackets up a lot..... anyhow that was that, and im looking forward to going to the next one.....

wednesday: this was the day b4 yom kippur... anyhow i had probably the two hardest tests ive ever taken in my entire life.... one in ap bio and the other in ap world history.... especially the world history one... that junx was crucial..... this one guys named paco brito.... (we call him taco burrito hehe), anyways he's prob the guy with the biggest brain in my senior class... yea he got the highest score.... of 78!.... im scared as to what i got.... i find out soon........

friday - saturday: i had my church lockin..... it was fun, me being the only senior made it kinda weird cuz a lot of the jr's left early and didnt stay the night, so i didnt have a ton of ppl my age but i got to bond with some of the younger kids.... hehe, but still there were some mad fun parts... and other not so fun parts... but it was cool..... and there was so much friggn food, cuz it was also a potluck haha.....

yea that sums up my week..... not much to say..... aight im out for now peace

here's a rap i wrote for a VOICES unit in english class... we had to express ourselves through any medium, so i chose lyricism.... ne wayz i presented it today but i was nervous as ddong, but i ended up doing ok.... just stuttered a lot in the begenning and i had to keep my voice from shaking or cracking haha...... but it was a good experience.....

I'll leave ya mind in contortions/ forcn it into small portions/ a form of mental extortion/ leavn ya head disproportioned/ cuz in a showcase of lyrical skill/ im here for the kill/ if this doesnt convince ya, not even a miracle will/ droppn words like mike tyson in a spelling bee/ committing verbal felonys/ then acquitted of all penaltys/cuz matter of fact is/ I'm a master of verbal tactics/ and no matter how hard you practice/ you'll still be like fat kids tryna pass gymnastics/ cuz you'll never be able to surpass or match this/ trying would be as useless as give a blind man a pair of glasses

cuz I use words of rhyme/ to submerge the mind/ & converge the lines/ in expressing what lurks inside/ although works of mine contain no cursing lines/ i keep diversive rhymes/ connected like cursive lines/ using methodical ways/ to create audible waves/ worth more then what a pot of gold weighs/ cuz i gotta go wait/ for the probable day/ when the holy father'll save/ speakin of foretold dramas/ like nostradamus/ to verbally emancipate those among us/ cuz ya tried to find the sum of my parts but overlooked the total/ if a picture's worth a thousand words then i wrote a book of foto's/ (last line is credited to drunken tiger's micki eyez... [from knockout kings].. it just fit too well for me not to use )

anyways yesterday (tuesday) i just chilled with my youth pastor.... we had lunch talked about a lot of stuff, from movies to of course our church and its youth group as well as how im doing in life and so forth.. my jundo (pastor) has to be one of the greatest guys i know...... anyways then i went to the dentist and came home and was bored all day.. ( i didnt have school cuz it was rosh hoshana and i suppose we have a pretty big jewish population in our area to get these holiday's off hehe).... anyhow that was my past two days.. not very exciting... aight im oouuuuut........

oh yea....... now im tryna think of who to ask to home coming again..... bah humbug haha this is hard.....

haha ive had somewhat of an amusing weekend..... this is how it went

friday night:... i was gonna go out with some friends, play some putt putt and what not.... but then one girl was too lazy and butt tired, so she dropped out, so then the other girl dropped out...... haha leaving just me and my friend daniel.... but then daniel goes to play tennis with some other ppl, so im all alone with nothing to do.... so i go out and drive around to get some air.... and i just decide to rent a video.... while looking around i just decide to pick up josie and the pussycats which wasnt nearly as bad as id thought it be.... but yea.... it was pretty good.... decent, fun but light movie.... and that made my evening..... watching josie at home... woohoo!.... bah

saturday: well.... ive been planning to ask my friend to homecoming for about a week now..... and well i decided i WAS gonna do it friday in school... but guess what? being the dork i am i chickend out! haha so i was thinking.... OK your gonna do it next time you see her.... and so i was just online during the day and my friend signs on.... so im like ok cool, we can chill and then ill ask her... so we made arrangements to meet up... but then as on my way to her house to pick her up she calls my cell and says another friend of ours wants to come to... so of course i said its fine cuz i mean she's our friend haha, but in my head i was like DARN IT... now how can i ask haha.... (cuz i really thought it'd be best to ask in person).... anyhow so i pick em both up, we ended up chilling for a lil while..... but while they were in dunkn donuts i decided to call my friend soyoung for some help..... haha and i was like gosh darn it now waht am i gonna do! haha so she got mad at me for being so stupid and for being so chicken, and then she calmed me down and told me to ask if i get the chance...... so then its time for everyone to go home so i drop off the other friend first, so maybe i can ask my friend b4 i drop her off...... but no haha, i didnt say nething and i wussed out AGAIN.... and just dropped her off.... and im thinking..... hmmmmm haha i wussed out again... darn it.... and i start to head home, but then i decided NOOOO NOW OR NEVER haha and i turn around and walk up to her door and asked her..... haha well from the get go she didnt really wanna go.... and i knew that, but i just thought we'd have fun together so MAYBE she'd change her mind u know?..... but yea she didnt say NO but she said she'd think about it, and that's all i could ask of her ^^... the rest of the day was my saturday night program at church and that was fun... then i came home and slept hehe

sunday: well i went to church, came home, slept, started hw, went to drop some papers off at this one girl's house for ap biology, then came home and just did whatever.... haha hw and chill and hw and some more chilling.... then i get online and my friend who i asked to hc is on, and actually we didnt bring up the subject for a while.... but eventually we got around to it... haha and GUESS WHAT?..... she said no..... but its fine hehe, i mean i figured id just try anyways, but she was really sweet for at least reconsidering things b4 she just said no.... and yea hehe i mean i have to admit i am a tad dissapointed but its all good, its just back to brainstorming to find some1 to ask to homecoming...... but i guess i understand where she's coming from and everything so i guess everything is gravy hehe.... and now i have to get back to hw cuz my sister is tryna kill me for the internet....

well that was my weekend! tata!

*this was actually an email i sent out, but i felt like posting it here too....

hey.. uhm guys.... im sorry if this is just reminding you of all the crap going on, or if you dont wanna hear it..... i know at times i just get sick of everything... but the attachment was written by a student from northwest high school..... so maybe this will just present everything on a moer personal level.... also.... this one kid from my grade... well im sorta friends with him.... u know one of those people you dont hang out with but if your in the same class u talk and stuff.. anyhow.... this one guy... joel wilcher... lost his dad at the pentagon.... i mean.... this might be just a story to you guys... and im sorry then.. just stop reading.... but yea... im just asking that everyone here please just keep everyone and everthing in your prayers... and that you never forget what has happened.... move on yes.... but do not forgot or lose heart for humanity as a whole.....

ive heard incredible stories of how the ppl on the plane that went down in pennsylvania rose up to fight the terrorist. to sacrifice their lives so that they could save others..... which is why the plane went down in a field in pennsylvania.. not the white house or dc...... and ive heard of ppl coming together in ny, to comfort one another.... to hold onto each other... treating strangers around them as brothers and sisters...... ive seen as countless number of my friends have rushed off to the hospital to give blood.....(u have to be 17, which i am not.....so i cant), waiting in long lines.. for 3,4 up to 8 hours......... just to help out..... and now i hear of national efforts to memorialize those who have suffered throughout all of this through symbolic acts of wearing red white and blue tomorrow and driving with your head lights on.......all of this brings more comfort and assurance and inspiration to me then ive ever felt... this is what should continue to happen, for everyone to unify and come together.. as one.... to help one another out as much as possible..... to love those close to us..... distant from us.... as well as our enemies.....speaking of which there is also quite a bit of hate and strong negative emotions and words of ignorance that has also appeared nationwide..... ppl in the middle east celebrate this horrific event why? not cuz they are bad people. but because they dont know any better.... on the flip side.... the those of us in the US too.... talk of bombing those "ragheads"... we have to be able to love our enemies..... true what has happend is unjust... but let justicer serve out itself....

i am greatly comforted by the fact that george bush is a christian..... i dunno to what extent will he apply his faith to this situation.... but we on the other hand know what we can do.... lift this up to the lord, because only he can bring good out of this..... already good has started to happen as we witness our nation come together in crisis...... some ppl say "this is way overblown, we should forget it and move on, ppl in other countries go through this everyday".... well does that make it right? this cannot be forgotten..... however i believe it should be forgiven.... find it in your hearts to ..... love your fellow brothers and sisters.... and to trust in god to handle things..... and for the hatred and the ignorance to stop....

im sorry if u feel like ive wasted your time...... its just in one of my classes today my teacher... told us to write this down, to write down how we feel, and everthing... and i couldnt write nething.... until everything sort of sank in.... and right now im just filled with emotions on all of this subject matter.... so in conclusion... i ask that 1) u not pass this off as some passing tragedy, cuz its a witness of how hate and ignorance can escalate to affect an entire nation, the entire world 2) find it in your hearts to forgive those who did this, because they too were filled with ignorance.... 3) love your brothers and sisters... and extend yourself to them... if yoru old enough i ask that u give blood and send out your prayers to the familes and victims and rescue teams out there right now 4) move on with your head high.... and have faith that things will be ok.....

thanx guys.. i wrote a lot more then i thought i was gonna write.... ill see everyone later.....

-newt

here's a small piece i wrote quickly in light of today's horrifc events

here we are the day's pacing by/
each second of no action is just wasting time/
rather then result to death and taking lives/
lets begin making tries to stop creating cries/
of sadness and sorrow/
cuz we dunt want more madness tomorrow/
so lets stand for a violence embargo...../
cuz until today, i didnt really know what a sad moment is/
to those who suffered today, i send my condolences/
its sad to see what our countries opponents did/
to have this happen is mos def no mans wish/
i cant be alone in this? i keep growing pist/
its as ppl are led by a controlling mist.../
of prejudice and hate/
when will people find the lesson is to wait?/
hopefully this message isnt vague/

to be continued.....
