Its winter but I really got sick of walking yesterday so i hopped on my board and ripped down baker here. So im just about to make my way around this tight corner down towards the skatepark and my wheel f*ckin flys off! i grinded on my axl for like 5 secs before figuring out what happened.oh and my wheel went out into the road.I thought this was pretty funny and felt like sharing.Oh yeah eff you tensor trucks! im back to Indy soon when i get cash.Independent trucks for life!

So this last week i've been skating a lot, its been pretty sweet.  i also worked a lot last week too. I'm also going to school full time at a community college with all the other bright and shining stars of america. hectic schedule to say the least. that said i'm not working at all this week, so i'm planning on dedicating myself entirely to the hobby/sport/lifestyle we all love and share. 
 
Last week i sustained a really bad bruise on my knee and a stretched/torn ligament in my wrist.  i did this by doing a simple rock to fakie down a 3 foot spine and getting my wheels caught in a near by ramp at the base of the spine.  my knee cap and palm hit ground first stretching my wrist in an upward motion and making me clinch it then lying there for a minute because my knee hurt to bad to get up. after making a scene which i hate to do i skated around doing little lip tricks and shoves until i left roughly 30 min later.  it sucked.  

i tried to upload a picture of my knee but this f*cking website wont load any of my pics which is bullshi*t.  

moving onward i'm really starting to pick up on flip tricks.  i'm not much of a switch skater.  all i can do is switch shove, switch shove rewinds and switch front shoves. weak i know.  anyways i'm  really close to hardflips and yesterday i landed a fs and bs bigspin.  it was really sweet.

minnesota has a really great skate scene.  lots of kids and plenty of old timers.  its to the point where there's a bit of symmetry between skaters. and by that i mean that they all get a long (for the most part) and kinda act like they know each other.  this goes for majority of the parks i've been to.  i've been skating at new hope, mn park a lot lately.  really small.  too small. great practice park though.  3 different sized boxes, a bench, 1 rail but i hate rails so thats fine by me.  couple more things (quarterpipes, fun box, hubba, stairs, and etc.)  its not perfect.  it has a couple big flaws but what do you expect when a skatepark is built by a city council of rule donning adults who just build because of pressure from the citizens.  if you've never stood on a board you shouldnt have any say in its parks.  

i think more places should try to emulate the skate plaza idea.  its more expensive but ramp companies are ridiculous too. i think a skate plaza is nicer looking, better for skating, be less upkeep and would keep more skaters off the streets than a cookie cutter skatepark that looks like one from the next town.  

anyways that was a huge blog post.  

until next time

Pro And Am Q&A: Tuesday, September 11, 2007

Q&A With Ted De Gros

With Vaughn Whynot 

1st of all Ted, I would like to thank you on doing this Q&A with me for the fact as I am a fan of yours since you was a am on santa Cruz...and now your pro...that’s crazy. I feel honoured in doing this because it will show that pros are normal guys just skating for the fact of...well skateboarding…I will also keep this quick and easy because you must be very busy these days. So let’s begin.

 

 

VW - How’s life mate, just for the record state your name and your sponsors, also your hometown?

 

TDG - Hey. My name is Ted de Gros. I’m sponsored by Santa Cruz, Lakai, Indy and momentum. Life’s good, I’ve been in Santa Cruz for the last few months. Enjoying the weather and trying to learn to surf.

 

 

VW - I been seeing a lot of you in mags these days… which one was you more stoked about?

 

TDG - My favourite interview in the last couple years was in Transworld. I think it was 06 sometime. I got lucky and managed to shoot all the tricks in a few days. I didn’t really plan any of the tricks so it was a bonus.

 

 

VW - Your Parts In “Get Tricks Or Die Tryin'” And “Yesterday’s Future”, which was your fav places to skate in your parts and out of everyone else in that video…who did you get more stoked off of?

 

TDG - I don’t think I had a part in digital. I may have had some tricks in it. I was definitely in yesterday’s future though. I’ve been to a lot of really good spots but they’re really scattered. Barcelona is one of my favourite places to skate because I’m always so stoked just to be there that skating is funnier. The spots are amazing too. Texas is good. Florida and North CarolinaL.A. is really good but the driving is ridiculous. Vancouver is fun for me. All the homies. As far as other peoples parts in Yesterday’s future, Dermer was fun to watch. He didn’t have a lot of time but he was always stoked to go film for it. Carl Labelle is rad to skate with too. He loves skating the same way.   Dickson’s part was awesome. Gianmarco was rad too. He’s awesome to watch skate live. He’s got a lot of heart and likes to charge at shi*t. 

 

 

VW - So now that you’re pro with Santa Cruz, what varies or differentiates from being an am?

 

TDG - Your pay is better and you get to see your name on a board. Other than everything feels the exact same. Your work and responsibilities are the same. Always gotta work for it.

 

 

VW - What is one trick that you are loving these days and which ones are you hating?

 

TDG - I’m loving mannys these days. I never took the time until the last couple years. I’ve always loved Rodney and Daewon but I thought I couldn’t do that stuff. It’s worth a try.   I hate three flips because my trucks are too tight.

 

 

VW - What’s your fav spot in Canada…and outside of Canada?

 

TDG - Everywhere in Canada is awesome but one of them is all the little islands that separate Vancouver from Vancouver Island. Saltspring, Galliano, Cortes. Number one place is Thormanby Island though. Only cause my family has had a cabin their for a few generations.

 

 

VW - What are your views on the helmet law in Canada?

 

TDG - What helmet law? Nobody out west has to wear helmets unless they just changed that.  In Santa Cruz you’re supposed to wear a helmet at the park. I bring mine and only put it on if the park ranger comes around. Works well.

 

 

VW - One trick you wish you had on lock down?

 

TDG - 1080 flips

 

 

VW - Craziest road trip?

 

TDG - The long ones across America with alien workshop were the craziest. Not in a good way though. Super stressful.  The best ones were the mad dashes. I don’t know who knows about or remembers those now. Geoff Dermer, Sean Sayles and maybe Kelly Bergman were the brains behind those.  I think Jon Engle might have helped with the later ones. It was a bunch of guys from Vancouver that would tour the western half of Canada and do demos for no apparent reason. They were the shi*t. There was little to no budget and we’d just go stay on shop-owner’s floors most if not all the time.   It wasn’t a corporate style trip. Just skating for the hell of it. The people who owned the shops were so rad. They were the best hosts. They’d have house parties for us and show us the best time we’d ever had.   Glenn Suggitt threw down when we stayed there. Best dude ever. I think it was guy at ruins in Prince George, he threw an awesome party. I can’t remember the lady’s name in red deer but she ruled.

 

 

VW - an Am and pro that gets you pumped?

 

TDG - Jack Lalane gets me pumped. Emeril too.

 

 

VW - Well thanks Ted for doing this for me and the skate scene of the world. Any last words and shout outs?

 

TDG - No problem. Thanks as well.

When tomorrow starts without me


When tomorrow starts without me, and I'm not there to see;
If the sun should rise and find your eyes all filled with tears for me;
I wish so much you wouldn't cry the way you did today,
while thinking of the many things we didn't get to say.
I know how much you love me, as much as I love you,
and each time you think of me I know you'll miss me too;
But when tomorrow starts without me, please try to understand,
that an angel came and called my name and took me by the hand,
and said my place was ready in heaven far above,
and that I'd have to leave behind all those I dearly love.
But as I turned to walk away, a tear fell from my eye,
for all life, I'd always thought I didn't want to die.
I had so much to live for and so much yet to do,
it seemed almost impossible that I was leaving you.
I thought of all the yesterdays, the good ones and the bad,
I thought of all the love we shared and all the fun we had.
If I could relive yesterday, I thought, just for awh
ile,
I'd say goodbye and kiss you and maybe see you smile.
But then I fully realized that this could never be,
for emptiness and memories would take the place of me.
And when I thought of worldly things that I'd miss come tomorrow,
I thought of you, and when I did, my heart was filled with sorrow.
But when I walked through heaven's gates, I felt so much at home.
When God looked down and smiled at me, from His great golden throne,
He said, "This is eternity and all I've promised you".
Today for life on earth is past but here it starts anew.
I promise no tomorrow, but today will always last,
and since each day's the same day, there's no longing for the past.
But you have been so faithful, so trusting, and so true.
Tho
ugh there were times you did some things you knew you shouldn't do.
But you have been forgiven and now at last you’re free.
So won't you take my hand and share my life with me?
So when tomorrow starts without me, don't think we're far apart,
for every time you think of me, I'm right here in your heart.

-David M. Romano

This poem means alot to me. We read it at my uncles funeral. it was sad. well i read it. I believe that this is a great reminder for me that he is always in my heart.


                                        Rest In Peace
                                William "bill" Hawn

It's amazing, really,

just how much pain the

human heart can take.

 

No matter how careful you are...
 There is always going to be that sense that you missed something,
the collapsed feeling under your skin that you didn't experience it all.
There's that fallen heart feeling...
that you rushed through moments where you should have been paying attention
 
growth and change
 
 
But anyway lets stop all this nonsense that im talking about above i was really going to make this blog totally good i thought about it all week trying to make it good for you and icouldnt think of a damn thing yeah not like the rest of them ...Love me thats all i ask of you i have to stop totally stop talking about love maybe its  a waist of time i mean ...idk you drive me insane i mean you really do ........... In a couple of yrs i will  be someones wife thats pretty damn crazy , i was thinking this mornng around 6:15am that i felt like going swimming even though i didnt .Hmm why do I see you lookin at me everytime I close my eyes.Have u ever felt like someone has been in your room but it wasnt you and it wasnt ur mom or dad i had that feeling last night  but early that day i had a friend come and search my whole room even my bathroom  in my room but no one was there  but i just couldnt have that chance cause i was gonna be alone yesterday (thurdsay) anyway so s i slept down stars with my big baby malibu .I had a panic attack isnt that great when i was driving to work i only get them once in a while but mostly all this week actually it suxs it really does ..I guess in the end you start thinking back to the beginning......yeah know ?

What kinda girl
 
I wont an extra ordinary one of a kind. A girl that can riley blow my mind. I wona girl that can sit back an chill. Tomuch makeup is not her stile and when it comes to party’s she gets buck wild. I wona girl that will put me back in my place. I wont someone that will roll wit me. Someone dat will go to the end with me. Someone that will let me hold her and be her solger.
If chou out ther make yoself known
 
 
LOVE
 
LOVE IS NEVER TRUE, LOVE IS NEVER AROUND U! LOVE IS NEVER FIGHTING,LOVE IS NEVER CHEATING.LOVE IS NEVER FORGIVEN , LOVE IS NEVER TAKEN.!LOVE MEANS NEVER HAVEING TO SAY U ARE SORRY!..........Love is an interesting thing. It shows up when you least expect it or don't feel like you have time in your life for it, yet it's completely scarce when you are lonely, desperate and looking for it. We spend so much of our lives craving love and wanting to find that special someone but when we have them we spend most of that time trying to fix them or change them for the better. We always want more. And even if you tell yourself a thousand times to be in the moment and try not to think so much you still end up pushing them away from you. Love sucks. Yet we all want it. And if love is hell, which I'm sure it is...I'm sure we'd all want to go there when we die. Including me. 

I just wona cry an every time
I try. I wona die. I think of
diein an I'm cryin.
I just wona cry an I
wona die.
 
 
This was riten by my brother K.O. Ho is now
dead an yes that was rill name. He left behinde 3 kids. 2 girls an one boy. an also a wife and 4 brothers. he was 23 years old his wife is 22. It hapend 9 monthes ago when we wher handling a situaton in the streets of south Ogden. The guy that shot him 13 times is dead.
My brothers last wish was don't let the memory of him die. So as we know that he went to a beter place his memory won't die cas this will remind people of him an he will always be in are heart's.

 
 I'm glad to see you
 
 I remember like it was yesterday. The very day I met Chou.I was looking fly. You where acting shy. So when you walked on by I engorged you.Good thing you turned around an asked my name. Then the next thing my audited changed.I swept me off my feet you where so sweet. Gave you my number. The next day you called asking if you could see me. So I sead all right. I’m glad to see you but I keep my cool. From day one I fell in love wit chou.
 
  You don't love me
 
You say you love me but then you lie to me and cheat on me.
I see you flurt with other guys.
you say you don't.
Then you say your famly doesn't like me so we can break-up.
Then you say you didin't mean to make me sad but you did.
you say your sorry and you will never do it agin.
Then you say I love you and expect everything to be alright.
I say I love you to baby and try to beleve that you love me but I know you
will just cheat on and lie to me agin.

Q&A With Ted De Gros

With Vaughn Whynot 

1st of all Ted, I would like to thank you on doing this Q&A with me for the fact as I am a fan of yours since you was a am on santa Cruz...and now your pro...that’s crazy. I feel honoured in doing this because it will show that pros are normal guys just skating for the fact of...well skateboarding…I will also keep this quick and easy because you must be very busy these days. So let’s begin.

 

 

VW - How’s life mate, just for the record state your name and your sponsors, also your hometown?

 

TDG - Hey. My name is Ted de Gros. I’m sponsored by Santa Cruz, Lakai, Indy and momentum. Life’s good, I’ve been in Santa Cruz for the last few months. Enjoying the weather and trying to learn to surf.

 

 

VW - I been seeing a lot of you in mags these days… which one was you more stoked about?

 

TDG - My favourite interview in the last couple years was in Transworld. I think it was 06 sometime. I got lucky and managed to shoot all the tricks in a few days. I didn’t really plan any of the tricks so it was a bonus.

 

 

VW - Your Parts In “Get Tricks Or Die Tryin'” And “Yesterday’s Future”, which was your fav places to skate in your parts and out of everyone else in that video…who did you get more stoked off of?

 

TDG - I don’t think I had a part in digital. I may have had some tricks in it. I was definitely in yesterday’s future though. I’ve been to a lot of really good spots but they’re really scattered. Barcelona is one of my favourite places to skate because I’m always so stoked just to be there that skating is funnier. The spots are amazing too. Texas is good. Florida and North CarolinaL.A. is really good but the driving is ridiculous. Vancouver is fun for me. All the homies. As far as other peoples parts in Yesterday’s future, Dermer was fun to watch. He didn’t have a lot of time but he was always stoked to go film for it. Carl Labelle is rad to skate with too. He loves skating the same way.   Dickson’s part was awesome. Gianmarco was rad too. He’s awesome to watch skate live. He’s got a lot of heart and likes to charge at shi*t. 

 

 

VW - So now that you’re pro with Santa Cruz, what varies or differentiates from being an am?

 

TDG - Your pay is better and you get to see your name on a board. Other than everything feels the exact same. Your work and responsibilities are the same. Always gotta work for it.

 

 

VW - What is one trick that you are loving these days and which ones are you hating?

 

TDG - I’m loving mannys these days. I never took the time until the last couple years. I’ve always loved Rodney and Daewon but I thought I couldn’t do that stuff. It’s worth a try.   I hate three flips because my trucks are too tight.

 

 

VW - What’s your fav spot in Canada…and outside of Canada?

 

TDG - Everywhere in Canada is awesome but one of them is all the little islands that separate Vancouver from Vancouver Island. Saltspring, Galliano, Cortes. Number one place is Thormanby Island though. Only cause my family has had a cabin their for a few generations.

 

 

VW - What are your views on the helmet law in Canada?

 

TDG - What helmet law? Nobody out west has to wear helmets unless they just changed that.  In Santa Cruz you’re supposed to wear a helmet at the park. I bring mine and only put it on if the park ranger comes around. Works well.

 

 

VW - One trick you wish you had on lock down?

 

TDG - 1080 flips

 

 

VW - Craziest road trip?

 

TDG - The long ones across America with alien workshop were the craziest. Not in a good way though. Super stressful.  The best ones were the mad dashes. I don’t know who knows about or remembers those now. Geoff Dermer, Sean Sayles and maybe Kelly Bergman were the brains behind those.  I think Jon Engle might have helped with the later ones. It was a bunch of guys from Vancouver that would tour the western half of Canada and do demos for no apparent reason. They were the shi*t. There was little to no budget and we’d just go stay on shop-owner’s floors most if not all the time.   It wasn’t a corporate style trip. Just skating for the hell of it. The people who owned the shops were so rad. They were the best hosts. They’d have house parties for us and show us the best time we’d ever had.   Glenn Suggitt threw down when we stayed there. Best dude ever. I think it was guy at ruins in Prince George, he threw an awesome party. I can’t remember the lady’s name in red deer but she ruled.

 

 

VW - an Am and pro that gets you pumped?

 

TDG - Jack Lalane gets me pumped. Emeril too.

 

 

VW - Well thanks Ted for doing this for me and the skate scene of the world. Any last words and shout outs?

 

TDG - No problem. Thanks as well.

First we did alot of travellin` saskatchewan & manitoba for ball, & wat not. We made the trips through, we didnt hear anything like this " this is boring" we always seemed to make it fun like it or not with our silly moments we always have, like for instance. . pullin` out our goofy faces & jokes to eachother. Talkin` nor laughin` non stop even tho if were tired on the road and were almost home, we seem to manage the whole trip. But i`m glad she is my big sis. But it`s that point hockey is around the corner ehh girl, time to pull out those skates of yours & dangle. First trip is edmonton, Hockey tourney that is. Tadaa, done. . that`s all she wrote. byee!

One 16 year-old boy Michael, and a 16 year-old girlfriend, Sarah, fell deeply in love since the very first day they met. They both lived in California but the girl had just moved there a year ago but fell for him so fast. Michael played on her dad's football team. He was the best player on the team and her dad saw him as a son of his own. Sarah was a cheerleader on the team and had everything she ever wanted. Until one day... her life crashed. Mom: Wake up honey. Michael's downstairs waiting for you. Sarah: Oh my gosh. I woke up too late! I still need a shower and everything! Right when she said that Michael walked into her room smiling from ear to ear. Michael: No baby. You're beautiful just like that- now come on, I'm starving. Sarah: Okay.
Sarah got out of bed, put on some clothes, took his hand, and walked out the door to his car and got in. Sarah: Where are we going? Remember that I have to be home by 1. I have cheerleading practice and you have football. Michael: I know.. Then Sarah noticed that Michael was really pale-looking. Sarah: Michael are you feeling okay? You look like you're sick.. Michael: Yeah; it's just my allergies. Sarah: Are you sure? Did you go to the doctor yet? Michael: Yeah.. I went yesterday. They just said to take some allergy pills and that I'll be okay. Sarah turned to look away from Michael. She knew there was something wrong. She has allergies and she doesn't look like that.
Then he reached out and held her hand. Sarah: Michael your hands are so cold. I dont think you're okay tell me what's really wrong.. do we need to go back to the house? Michael: I promise you baby; everything is okay.. they told me to go back tomorrow but I'm not going because there's nothing wrong with me. Sarah: Michael you need to go! If they told you to then there is something wrong! Michael let go of her hand and turned back to the road and didn't talk to her the rest of the way. Sarah just looked at him. They finally pullled up to the resturaunt and ate breakfast. Michael: Did you bring your cheerleading stuff or do we have to go back to your house to get it?
Sarah: I have it.. do you really think you should go to football practice like that? Michael: Yes Sarah. I'm fine. Sarah: If you say so.. Michael: Sarah, baby, would I lie to you? Sarah: No... They got back in the car and went to the field.They got out and started practice. Sarah was practicing a new cheer, but then out of no where she heard a boy yell, "HE'S NOT MOVING SOMEONE CALL 911! HELP COACH!" Right when she heard that she turned around and saw Michael on the ground just laying there, not moving.
She ran to him but her dad pushed her back. Dad: No honey. You shouldn't be right here. Sarah started to cry. Sarah: Daddy. What happened? Is he okay? Dad: Honey. Please just go back with your coach. Sarah walked back and sat on the bench with her head in her hands while an ambulance came and took him away. She got in the car with her dad and they went to the hospital. When they got there his mom was already there and talking to the doctor. They walked over and listened... Doctor: You may want to sit down for this.Michaels Mom: Is he okay? Doctor: Ma'am.. your son has lukiemia. We can put him on treatments, but he might not make it because the cancer has already spread too much. Sarah was shocked and began to cry on here dads shoulder. Michaels Mom: Treatments? Doctor: Well the treatments would cause hair loss... but it will help slow the cancer down. Michaels Mom: But he's certain to die? Doctor: Yes.. but we have had this surgery to clear out the clogs.. but it's possible that he will not make it. Michaels Mom: I will have to talk to him about this. Can we see him now? Doctor: Yes. One at a time though. Michaels mom looked over at Sarah and hugged her tight she knew that Sarah loved him with all her heart. Michaels Mom: You go first sweetheart. Sarah: Are you sure? Michael's Mom: Yes honey. Sarah walked slowly to his room and turned the knob. She just stood there, looking at him lying there weak. He was so pale and he had tubes surrounding him. It was painful for her to look at him. Michael looked at her and weakly smiled at her.
She went over and kneeled down beside him. Michael: Did they already tell you? Sarah: Yes... Michael: I'm sorry Sarah. I didn't want you to find out like this. Sarah: It's okay; I understand Michael. Michael: Baby I love you so much.Michael reached up and slowly ran his fingers through her hair. Sarah: I love you too Michael. With all my heart.. and I will be here for you 'till the end. Michael: Im going to be okay Sarah. The nurse walked in with Michaels mom. Nurse: Its her turn now. Michael looked at Sarah. Michael: Bye baby.
Sarah: Bye. Sarah kneeled down and softly kissed his cold lips. Months went by and Michael lost his hair, but they were still deeply in love and Sarah was by him everyday. Michael was getting worse to where he couldn't even play football, and the championship game was coming up. Michael was  sitting on Sarah's porch with her and her dad. Michael: Coach.. I wanna play tomorrow. Dad: Michael I know you do.. but I can't let you do that.. you'll get hurt. Michael: No, coach. Please. This might be the last time on the field for me. I want to be able to play one more time. Dad looked at Michael and then at Sarah. Sarah nodded her head. Dad: You're a strong boy, Michael, and very brave. I think we can do this. Michael: Thank you so much coach. Sarahs dad nodded his head. Dad: So what are you two doing tonight?
Michael: I wanna show Sarah something if that's okay. Dad: Of course; you two be careful. Michael took Sarah's hand and lead her to his car. It was completely dark outside when they pulled up to the football field. Sarah: What are we doing here? Michael: Follow me. Michael grabbed a blanket and laid it down onto the field. They both laid there looking at the stars. Sarah: This is so beautiful. Michael: I do this often. I wanted to show you the place I love. Sarah: Do you remember the flowers you gave me on our very first date?
Michael: Sure I do; I gave you lillies; your favorite. Sarah: Yeah... I'll never forget that day. Michael: I want you to always remember something Sarah.
Sarah: What is it? Michael: I will always be with you.. and I will always love you.. you're my one and only.. Sarah started tearing. Sarah: I love you so much, Michael. Michael: And I also want you to be happy.. I want you to marry someone, have kids, make a family, just live a happy life for me. Sarah: No. I will never marry anyone.. im marrying you Michael Michael: Just don't forget what I told you. Michael leaned in and kissed her. She pushed him off and jumped up Sarah: You still think you can catch me? Michael: Oh yeah. I'm stronger than I look. Sarah: Then come get me. Michael stood up and chaised her around the football feild until he finally caught her. He laid on top of her and put her hands behind her back and held her there so she couldn't move. Then it started to rain and they were getting soaked but they didn't care. Michael looked deep into her eyes. Michael: Who's the weak one now huh? Sarah: Me (she giggled) Michael: Remember what you told me that night when we were at dinner? Sarah: No.. what? Michael: You have always wanted to kiss in the rain with the one you love. Sarah: Yeah? Michael: Well your wish is my comand. Michael leaned down and kissed her deeply. He pulled away. Michael: You're so beautiful. Sarah: You're such a good kisser. (she laughed.. so did he) Michael: I better get you home. They got into the car and went home. It was hard for them to sleep that night but they did.
It was finally the big day and they were all at the football field. Michael had on all his football gear, and Sarah was ready to cheer him on. The game began.
The crowd was going wild for Michael while Sarah was cheering her heart out for him. The score was 36 to 36. All they had to do was make one more point and they would win. Michael had the ball and ran with all he had to the touchdown line and threw the ball down. He had made a touch down! Everyone was cheering. They had won the game! But for Michael.. he may have lost his life. He fell to the ground trying to catch his breath. Sarah ran to him and kneeled down over him. He looked up at her gasping for breath. Everyone was heading to field. Her dad stood infront of them. Dad: Back away.. give them a moment please.. that's my daughter's love. Michael gently raised his hand and whiped her tears away. Sarah: Don't die Michael.. I need you.. I love you. Michael: I told you this was my dream to win the championship.. to be in the big game.. to die on this feild.. I made history.
Sarah leaned down and kissed him, knowing this was the last she would ever kiss him, the last time she would ever talk to him. She had so much to say but had no time to say it.Michael: I love you baby. Tell Mom I love her too.. and tell coach thank you. Sarah: I love you Michael. I love you so much.
Michael: I'll wait for you..... Michael's hand dropped and he let go. He died that night on the football feild. Sarah cried for 2 months straight. Sarah was lying on her bed when her dad walked in. Dad: Honey, it's been 2 months. Please get up. He would want you to have fun and be happy. Sarah: I know..
Dad: Guess what. Sarah: What? Dad: They are building a new stadium. Isn't that great honey? Come on, I want you to come with me before they tear the old one down. Sarah got up and went with her dad to the field. They climbed to the top of the bleachers and looked down. Sarah: It's like it was just  yesterday. He was out there throwing the football, making that touchdown.
Her dad wrapped his arms around her and she began to cry. Dad: I know baby., I know. Then Sarah noticed something on the feild. Sarah: Whats that daddy? Look. (Sarah pointed to the field) Dad: Look like some flowers are blooming. Sarah: Oh my gosh, daddy! Stop them! Don't let them tear this down! Please! Michael planted me something. Her dad ran down there and stopped them. Weeks later the flowers had bloomed. Her and her dad went to look at them. They were lillies that left a message saying, "I Love You".
If you have any heart at all and love someone this much repost this.
(also if you cried)

i talked to my crush yesterday. he is so superbly tall, he had to lean all the way back to read something backwards.  my other friend told him (possibly) an embarrassing story about me. i have to call him and ask him. one day like last week i called him and he didnt answer and i fell asleep on the couch and he called back and my mom couldnt get the phone in time and he left a message. i called him back and he didnt answer. right after i cut the phone off, he called back. we were talking for a little while. i asked him out to the Fall Out Boy concert (scheduled for tomorrow) and he said he couldnt go because he has church that night. its all good tho. i get to see him every now and again at work. the only bad thing is that whenever he walks by or says something to me, i start to blush. IT SUX!!!!!

Playground school bell rings again
Rain clouds come to play again
Has on one told you she's not breathing?
Hello I am your mind giving you someone to talk to
Hello
 
If I smile and don't believe
Soon I know I'll wake from this dream
Don't try to fix me, I'm not broken
Hello I'm the lie living for you so you can hide
Don't cry
 
Suddenly I know I'm not sleeping
Hello I'm still here
All that's left of yesterday

   yesterday we got our yearbooks and it was also homegoing. we were all in the bleachers and chelsey antus, holly hummel and chelsie griffen all stole someone elses yearbooks because they all didnt have enough money to buy one( chelsey antus spent hers on drugs.)so mr. forester comes over and starts accusing them of stealing and chelsey antus was going."i dont know what youre talking about! i have been sitting here the whole time!" but she was lying and i knew it! so i was going to do something about it. i wrote down on a piece of paper " chelsey antus didnt order a yearbook." and they got the ones that they stole taken away from them.
   anyway they all knew who turned them in and got them suspended for three days and they and all thier friends were calling me a nark, rat,conniving bitch, snake, snitch,and all of the other"horrible" names that you can think of. yeah and when i went out to my bus the three of them were waiting for me but they couldnt do anything to me because the principal was porpously following me out the door.yeah i know, i know how to cover my back!
   so today is friday and theyll be out untill thursday and gauranteed theyll all have some sort of revenge sorted out for me. whether it be an ass beating, or something else. whatever happens ill always know i didi the right thing.
