Bicycles

So today I got up kind of late (around 6:50) and my dad got mad at me because I stayed up too late last night. But I got to school on time. Just before I got to the door I saw a bumper sticker on an experienced old truck with a cap over the bed. It read "Everday is an Adventure".

I wish that instead of cars everyone used bicycles and lived really close to me. If we wanted to hang out we could grab our bikes and go to the railroad tracks or just peddle over to their house. There's something pure about bicycles that I'm really very fond of. Today Jen gave me a TV on the Radio CD and I have yet to listen to it.

In singers I found out that Mr. Nerbonne's heart troubles have really flared up over the past few days. He is in the hospital and is having surgery this week. According to Ms. Jensen he will be A-okay when that's over but it's still really sad. Thomas Agamemnon Nerbonne is an asshole. But he's a really nice asshole, too. His stubbornness is really overwhelming sometimes (all the times) but that's just who he is. He doesn't have a family around here so he loves his choirs very much. Which, despite some personal discomfort, is endearing. I hope he gets better.

Hardest I laughed today: Math class at something Mr. Marshall said but I don't remember what it was.

I also really like Jen's idea of a song of the day. So today the song of the day is Te Killing Moon by Echo and the Bunnymen because it's the song Richard Kelly uses in the very first scene when Donnie wakes up on the ridge overlooking the mountains and bike rides home in his pajamy jams.
