For some reason I felt like posting a comment after over a year! I am thrilled that my diary hasn't been deleted even though maybe it should have. I think, ya, I might actually keep this up again. Not now though, too tired. Just got back from work (yes, still work at Golf n' Stuff).

Wow I am busy. I am working 6 days a week. Which is good and bad. I am making a lot of money! But there are bad parts. I don't have time for anything else. I requested this Thursday off to do my driving training class for 2 hours. Then after that I get to have band practice. On Saturday, my actuall given day off I have to go to work anyway for a meeting! Then, I go to my dads.
I love summer, but I need to read my stupid AP summer reading list. I think that I am just going to spark note it. I don't believe there is a way out of it.
Today. I have to go to work at 4:30 so I went to my mom's work so I can get a way there. I am having my behind the wheel test on July 7th though! Which I also need to request off.
I guess that a overloaded summer is better then a slow boring one.

It has been FOREVER! I think that I will update more then every other 2 months now. A lot has happened. My band and I have made our demo. We sound great (just not on the demo). We had to record it doing every instrument seperatly and through a stupid out of date computer program. It sounds okay I guess.
ITS SUMMER! Normally I would be haning out with Garrett now but I have a job at Golf n' Stuff. I work 6 days out of the week. I don't know how I am going to have enough time for the band. I guess I will have to do it on my days off.
Less then a month until I get my licence. I so can't wait for that! I will have no more problems getting to and from work.
Next school year is going to be difficult. I am going to have 2 AP classes. I will take both English and World History. I need to start my summer reading right now so I won't stress about it! Or maybe, spark notes! :)
I know nobody read all of that but, at least I updated.

Well. It has been FOREVER! There has been a lot of things that have happened, I will make it as short as possible.
About baseball, don't ask.
The only thing really important right now is my band. We are doing really well. We got a second guitarist but it's weird, when ever he shows up we can't play together. When he is gone we get so into it and play so well. He doesn't show up very often though so I don't know how that's going to work. The last time he came we had 3 songs completley done, now we have 6. I think that we just need to get a singer and we can play with the 4 of us (one guitar).
I have been doing myspace a lot in the last couple days so I decided to update this. If you have a myspace and want to add me my url for it is: myspace.com/boye
I guess those are the biggest things, ohh dodgers are doing well (3-1) to open the season, im going to the game on the 17th. I'm looking forward to that!

Ya. I haven't updated in awhile. I don't have internet at my house anymore. I am hearing Blakes Breast Stroke's right now. Stupid lifeguard!
Baseball season is doing alright. The rain keeps on canceling all of our practices though. It looks like they are going to have to cut half of the JV team, I hope I am not one of them. If I do get cut though, I will get a job and make some money. I'd rather play baseball though.
My band is doing pretty good. We have 2 full songs now. Still kinda working on the second one though.
I guess thats about it. Pretty boring times.

Most of the time when I go to my dad's for the weekend it is really boring. This time though it was pretty fun, mostly because I didn't spend much time there. On Saturday I hung out with Garrett at the clubhouse and on Sunday I, hung out with Garrett.
Yesturday, Garrett and I watched the Super Bowl and then with Brandon, we went to the Crazy Jeanette concert. They were awsome! I had a good weekend, eventhough it went slow. I can't wait till this Friday, when my band practices again.

I have to spend the weekend with my dad. I go to his house the first Saturday and Sunday of every month. It's not that bad, I guess.
Yesturday I didn't go to baseball practice. I ditched it so that I could go to band practice. We only got to practice for like 45 mins but for the short time we practiced our song sounded pretty good. I wrote the lyrics but we didn't sing because we didn't have a mic. The title of the song is "backfire," it needs some work but it will do just fine. Scott is actually a pretty good drummer, he knows a lot more then I thought he would.
Next Friday is a half day so we are going to practice again and then we will have a lot of time. We also are going to be able to use his garage so we can practice more. I think that we have a good band!
Well, guess that's it. Tommorow is the Super Bowl! GO PATRIOTS!

Today was pretty fun. It was my brother's party and I BBQ burgers and hot dogs, went on a hike, normal little kid birthday party. After the party I went with my dad and had some dinner, it was good.
My brother's dad (Tom) is getting out of jail on Wednesday which is totally cool, he is awsome. I can't wait!

I haven't really done anything latley. The only knew thing is baseball. Baseball started the other week and that is all I have been doing. We practice for 6th period and after that we condition. It has been raining the last couple day though, so we just run to Camino Real. I can't wait till the real practices start.
This weekend is my brother's party and my dad's dinner. Tommorow I am going to work with my mom for 6 hours. Well I won't really see her, I will just be working outside with the other guys. I enjoy working there sometimes.
Well, I guess that it. Boring I know!

Today is my brother's birthday. His is 6 days after mine. I remember when I was younger and he was going to be born I screamed and complained that I didn't want to have his birthday near mine. God I was a brat.
This Saturday my band will probably practice and on Sunday my brother is having his party at a park. We are just going to BBQ. Then, at 3:30 (the party won't be over again) my Grandma is going to pick me up and bring me to my dad's so we can have dinner for his birthday.
Dang, there are a lot of family birthday's in January!

Well my birthday was two days ago. I had a very good day. I only got two presents but I LOVED them.
My first present was $500 and the $500 is put up for parts for my Ford Mustang. GOD I love my car. It's an 86' Convertible Ford Mustang. It needs a little work (paint job, stereo system, work on the transmission) but the $500 will cover a lot of that. I loved my birthday this year. I didn't have a party all I did was I went out for dinner with my grandma. I had a great birthday
Ohh, and thanks for the entry Garrett. I need a cupcake NOW! Damn, to bad i'm in public!
Happy 16th Birthday Ryan!
I hope this day goes particularly well for you, as it is being your birthday.
Today, spend it with those whom you love and admire. Like me (kidding..).
Anyways, I am glad to have known you for these four/five years... it seems like a lot more.
Even though we've had our fair share of fights, laughs and leafing- I wouldn't trade any of these years for anything.
You taught me a lot of being generally happy of what you have, and I really admire you for that Ryan.
Let's hope there are many more years to come!
God, I could go for one of those right now...
Best Birthday Wishes,
Garrett
(Dood, call me, we should like hang next weekend).

Well. Today was kinda a bummer. Me, my mom, my sister, and my two brothers were supposed to go up to the mousnow today. After spending FOREVER at the laundy matt, we went home and got ready to go to the snow. When we got up there though the road was still closed from the mudslide. I was looking forward to going up there too, we even had Tabatha's (my sister's) snowboard.
I do have good news though in two days I am getting my car (if it passes smog). If it does I am getting my 87' Ford Mustag Convertable. It's in semi-bad shape right now but I am going to put some major $$$ into it. No school for the next 2 days!

Well this week was finals! So far I have taken my; World History, Foods, English, and Geometry finals. That leaves me with my German and AVID final. Of course my AVID final won't be to hard but I am afraid that I won't do well in my German final. German is the only class that I am not totally sure about grade wise. I need to have at least a 3.3 GPA to keep my car. Of course it's not that hard but still...
My friend Kevin is stuck in Santa Barbra because of the stupid mud slide. What the hell! It's not supposed to rain that much in Southern California! If you want to see some pictures of the mudslide here ya go:

The 101 freeway (again)
HOLLY SHIT
I found these pictures off Kevin's journal. He is blocked from Ventura (where I live) and where his dad lives (Santa Barbra) by that!
I guess that this kinda sucks. Houses, cars where destroyed and People even died!
Thank god it stoped raining though!

First of all another classic rock legend has died. Or at least a person who managed legends. Danny Sugerman, the Manager and "founder" of the doors died yesturday. R.I.P. and say hi to Jim for me!
Today was a great day. After school I went to my drivers training place and signed up. Afterwards I went to the DMV and took my writen test for my permit. I passed. I missed 6 which is lower then my average but it doesn't matter, I could have missed 8. My nerves probably got to me. After I passed my test I drove, with my mom, to Santa Paula (where my brother was) for my first time. It was fun.
I am so glad that it is the weekend. I need a break from school. Well, C-ya!

Well. I don't have much to talk about. I guess I will just tell everyone about my birthday. My birthday is on the 18th which makes that 12 more days until I am 16! For my 16th birthday I get to get my car. I'm not going to get it the day of, I will probably have to wait a month until Tom (step dad) comes back so that he can help me pick one out. My mom's boss is paying for it too so thats awsome. I don't have to worry about paying for it.
I normally aren't that hyped up about my birthday but getting a car is pretty exciting. I was thinking about bringing one or two friends somewhere, but I don't know where yet. I have to figure it out soon though. Well, I guess that's all I have to talk about.

Well again, it has been awhile. Nothing really to exciting has happened. I got some money from other people for Christmas latley though. All together I have gotten about $350 but $225 has to go to my drivers training. Tommorow or some, other day this week I am going to go to my drivers training class and sign up and then I will be able to go to the DMV to get my permit and once I have that it is an easy ride to my drivers licence. I will, after spending 3 sessions of 2 hour indivials with my instructor will have my permit for 6 months, and then have my provisional licence for 6 months (I can drive by myself and with adults but can't drive with people under 18 in the car), and then after those 6 months I get my licence and can then drive me and all my buddies down to Las Vegas to drink, get laid, and drive at the same time!
MUAHAHAHAHA!
Ya so. Im bored....I think that I am going to be updating more often!
