THIS SEEMS TOO FAMILIAR...

Every year students anticipate the fifty-cent M&M fundraiser most clubs participate in. One dollar used to get you two packages of this snack. This year though prices have gone up. Now one dollar will get you only one pack of M&M’s.
The prices rose unexpectedly. Teachers hoping that the raise in price would bring larger sizes were also distressed. The M&M’s are still the same size package just fifty cents more.
This did not affect the amount of money raised though. If students order a box of M&M’s to sell and they don’t sell all 36 packages then they must fork up the 36 dollars themselves.
Senior Rebecca Garces, NAHS president, said that NAHS ordered 20 boxes and will make about $360. Last year they would have had to order 40 boxes to make that amount of money.
The only problem with the raised price was the ability to sell these treats. Garces said that it was harder for the students to sell because people were distraught over the .50-cent raise in price.
Overall this year, though, most students got over the initial distress of the price raise and still bought the M&M’s.

Your Pimp Name Is...

I'm going to say something now and i've never been more serious.

as of right now. this exact moment, i'm establishing boundaries. I'm a christian guy who has very stern beliefs. i strongly believe that i can't have someone close to me who stands for things i don't. as of right now that is really no one in my life. but if any of you and i mean any of you start to falter i'm sorry but our relationship can't be as close. and it's not because i'm a jerk and i think i'm holier than thou. i will still love and respect you but i can't let you be as big of an influence as i have let people be. at one point in my life i was addicted to many stupid things and i still battle with this crap and i will not subject myself to it any longer. not matter how strong i think i am.

romantic rights

Your romantic rights are all that you got
push 'em down son it's more that just lip
c'mon girl i know you know what you want
c'om c'om now and give 'em all shhhh.

that's right people. you heard it first... Matthew William Butler is taking a break from hardcore music.

can't you learn to take an effing joke.

Fri, 16 Sep 2005 01:53:54 GMT

i really don't like people that make music about other things. music is about music. you shouldn't dress a certain way so that people assume you like a certain band and want to hang out with you.

it's lame

and.. i haven't gotten a call or heard from you since saturday. and not even saturday really. so you want to holla at me so i'm not freaking out over here.

renee, sarah and anna. the two sisters i dated. the anna i couldn't get over. they showed up at my church this morning.

boy was that no good.

i got my head shaved, by a jumbo jet. it wasn't easy.

what i hate most in this world is people who make every situation some serious, anal thing. and all they do is watch the news, and read the paper, and look at cnn.com so that they can make you feel inferior with thier opinions on pat roberts or george bush. those people can suck it.

now, my day was awesome. i went to las palmas for lunch with ryan and sam. i went to robert grants house after school and then we skated. we both went to pleasant valley and robert hurt his knee and hand. i went home. went back out 20 minutes later with george. went to youthgroup. sat outside on a bench and played acoustic guitar for about an hour. then went to yourhouse diner after youthgroup.

ps. i miss you.

the devil is in atlanta, army surounded.

today was a grand day. i went off with EFFING JENNA for lunch and we went to mcdonalds. i was late for class so i just told my teacher that jennas car stalled at an intersection and we had to push it through and she bought it. haha. and then when me and robert left school we listened to memphis will be laid to waste and held up trafic so stefanie could hear the "NOW YOU'RE DOING THE WALTZ WITH YOUR MURDERER" part.

ps. aaron, sorry you didn't go off with us today.

check your style, fresh from my anus

and this all got stirred up last thursday. i saw her and was like dang mang. she's incredible. and then last night i saw shelly and had to keep convincing myself that i didn't like her. we ended our thing along time ago.

EVERY TIME YOU TRY TO BE THE BEST, IT COMES AROUND.

Thu, 01 Sep 2005 00:31:54 GMT

best day ever. i just had it.

i didn't have to wait for the bus. it came right to me when i walked out the front door.

first and second period. i passed both of the quizs i was frontin on. third period i just walked around. went down to the library. played solitaire. interviewed some jewish cats for my gaza strip article. fourth period i got out of doing that gay beach pastel drawing thing and i'm getting to do a picture of my sister. then me and robert got out of the parking lot real fast today. got home like ten minutes after school started. then my mom wanted to take me to goodwill and i got some rad brown courderoy pants and accidentally got some girls jeans ( i thought they were going to be real baggy but i didn't actually look at them, i just looked at the size) that are really tight. i'll probably never wear them since i gave up on that lame girls jeans thing. THEN we rented my current favorite movie, kung fu hustle. it's like an old mobster movie mixed with crouching tiger hidden dragon and then turned funny. THEN my dad called and told me i could get my lunch pass if i only went off every once in awhile. THEN my rad sister called me and talked. THEN my parents said they'd help me get that guitar i wanted. and then the day almost got ruined by one lamefaced punk.

goodthing i'm so positive mang. you don't know how much better your life is you refuse negativity.

if you don't want the preaching don't come around my scene.

Tue, 23 Aug 2005 03:46:00 GMT

dad's doing better. he'll survive. i think he gets out in 2 or 3 days.

i just can't stop thinking about the time he died in the hospital during one of my baseball games. he's such a blessing.

the rescue show was amazing. me and robes hung out the entire night which was real rad. and rodney kept on getting us to sing along with him during their set. PLUS me and robbie were messing with rodney while he was playing drums on a pad. and we were sticking our hands underneath while he was playing and he was trying to hit us and he nailed my nuckle. and i don't know if you've ever seen rodney. but he's just solid muscle. i think he broke my finger.

and oh yeah. the guys from he is legend were at the show to. they're realreal gay.

the preacher man told us..

Fri, 19 Aug 2005 15:29:50 GMT

rodney just asked me to tour with the rescue this summer regardless of whether i'm in the rescue or not. he said he wants me to make sure he has all same color m&m's. hahaha. i still haven't decided yet whether i'm going to fill the spot with the rescue. i've been praying alot about it though. i just think it's amazing how much rodney's opened up to me this past week. he really is an amazing spirit filled guy.

i just saw ashley for the last time in about 3 months. we took about 30 pictures and had fun the whole night. we hugged, kissed and she cried and i shed A tear. me and michelle took our time saying goodbye outside my house. i'll only see her a few more times before she leaves me to.

it's really sad that all my best friends are gone or leaving. literally. it's killing me.

when we fall we do it right.

All around me are familiar faces
Worn out places, worn out faces
Bright and early for their daily races
Going nowhere, going nowhere
And their tears are filling up their glasses
No expression, no expression
Hide my head I want to drown my sorrow
No tomorrow, no tomorrow
And I find it kind of funny
I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I'm dying
Are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you
'Cos I find it hard to take
When people run in circles
It's a very, very
Mad World
Children waiting for the day they feel good
Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday
Made to feel the way that every child should
Sit and listen, sit and listen
Went to school and I was very nervous
No one knew me, no one knew me
Hello teacher tell me what's my lesson
Look right through me, look right through me

i don't know why i feel so shitty but i do.

bright and early for the morning races, going nowhere going nowhere.

Mon, 08 Aug 2005 01:11:01 GMT

i'm pirating music onto my iPod from a hotel in tennessee. and i downloaded a hxc version of madworld. i'm in love with it. and me and angie just had a discussion about how we like eachother and we can't wait for eachother to come up or down. and she likes me like she likes rocks. and apparently she likes rocks. so chyeah.

Sat, 06 Aug 2005 23:58:59 GMT

No Donnie These Men Are Nihilist

EVERGREEN TERRACE

Pride caused the fall.
Like the ashes you came from,
you'll burn the sky, and when you're gone, no one will cry.
Drown the towns with apathy, set our hearts in water.
Kill the scene with treachery, quenching all, all of our fires.
When you're gone no one will miss you
and when you're dead no one will cry.
Kiss your life goodbye.
You believe in nothing.

HERE IT COMES.. HERE IT COMES.. BREAKDOWN.
