One of Those Days
Ever have one of those days where you read into EVERYTHING entirely too much? Like you’re really sensitive to everything people say, and how they say it? That’s me right now. It has to be all the gay music I’ve been listening to ALL DAY.
Dance Centre Recital ... Day 1
Wow, today was terrible. It wasn’t that I actually did a lot but it was such a long day. It was the first rehearsal of the Dance Centre of the Hamptons recital which is in the theatre. They have rehearsals all week and the show is this weekend.
It doesn’t sound THAT terrible, but after 4 hours of “Mommies and Daddies, make sure you…” or “Miss Linda wants to...

Ahh! Graduation.
Yesterday was what everyone said it would be: surreal. Everything just kind of happened and I was there but it kind of all blurred together and I just remember random fragments of it. The day was actually really nice. It was hot outside but they had water for us and after about 20 minutes everyone kind of got used to the heat. The actual ceremony was great and afterwards I had lunch with my family...
“Life is like a series of dimmers. Just because the lighting guy is sliding one...”
– Me. At 11:58 PM on then night before graduation. I was writing thank you cards and I thought of this out of nowhere.

Batman Begins
Last night I decided to watch Batman Begins for the first time ever. A while back, I was on a field trip to IMAX and saw a 9 minute preview of the Dark Knight coming out in a few weeks. I was really excited because it seemed like a cool movie but the entire concept of it was strange because I wasn’t very familiar with the whole Batman thing.
It ended up being an amazing movie. I loved it....

Graduation Rehearsal
So yesterday was the rehearsal for graduation. I got to the school around 9AM to see help out Raynor and Min for a little while. I know it sounds dumb, but I really don’t mind going there because at this point, they are not teachers to me, they are almost family.
Anyway, around 12 PM, I went to the gym for rehearsal. It was kind of dumb. I appreciate all the work that so many people are...
Regents
I didn’t have any this year, luckily. I was an honors and ap kid all through high school so by this point, there were no more regents exams for me. Here is my issue:
“Hey, I’m going to take the Physics Regents” - Implying Regents Examination.
Just because you’re only taking one, DOESN’T MAKE IT A REGENT.
“Hey, I’m going to take the Physics...
Mad Good?
How terrible is it that I use the word “mad” in the context of “very”? That’s such a grammatically terrible error to have. It’s such a bad habit but it’s so much fun and it makes me feel mad cool. Haha.

Check out the website of my new DJ company. It was created by myself and Kevin. We’re planning to have an event for every weekend this summer, so if you need us for an event, check it out and let us know. We’re willing to work with you on pricing and stuff.

To-Do Lists
Normally, I’m a big fan of the whole “To-Do List” concept. They’re organized, efficient and work well with my OCD nature. But when my mom walks into my room with a “Things to talk about” list, I tend to get uptight. She had like a bulleted sheet of things she needed me to talk to her about including…

Wow
That was an obnoxiously long post. I’m feeling very strange today. Maybe it’s the Checkers I had for lunch. Nope, probably not. I feel very reflective. I don’t know if that’s the right word, but I’ve been thinking about everything and everyone in my life and about the future. It’s a scary thought. I’m not sure how to handle all this change and stuff. I...

The Bug
So yesterday, I went to meet up with my friends Andrew (from Smithtown) and my friend Mike (from Chicago) and when I got to the airport..yeah we’re aviation geeks so we meet at airports, our friend Anthony (Nassau) was also there. We decided to go on a flight since our friend Mike was in accumulating hours for his Commercial Pilot’s Liscense. We decided we would go KISP - KEWR - KTEB -...

This Concert Is Never Going To End
Last night was the ESM Pops Concert. It’s a pretty cool concept if you think about it: being able to do whatever kind of song you want, sing and play music with friends and say your final goodbyes to Mr. Graf and Mr. V. That concept made me enjoy being there…for the first few HOURS.
The show ended at 11:43 PM, after starting on-time at 6:30 PM. Over 30 acts, 80 awards, 100 technical...
Senior Scholarship Night
Tonight was the Senior Scholarship night. I won two scholarships. The first I didn’t expect. It was from Mrs. Cruz and was the “Jeffrey Iorio Memorial Scholarship”, the second was the PART scholarship which I must confess, I did expect to win.
It was a good night but it was really long. Rachel, Taylor & I had a countdown and Rachel and I were in a heated game of dots until...

Tuxedo
So today after school, I went to Rico’s to get my tuxedo. I forgot how socially awkward I am in public places, especially when I don’t have anyone with me.
I tried on the tux and everything fit pretty well (I think) except for the vest but they fixed that pretty quickly for me. The tie is a little darker than I thought but I still really like it.
That’s about it.

Four Perfect Pebbles
Today was a pretty laid back day, as they all are becoming now that school is almost over. At the end of first period, we had locker clean out. It was pretty strange to just trash all my notebooks, especially since it always marks the end of the year and this time, the end of high school.
After 6th period (and a very intellectual movie discussion with Lauren, Charlie, TJ and sort of Kristina and...

9th Grade Flashback
Karen just told me that she got the letter that we wrote on the first day of ninth grade in the mail from Mr. Koz. I really hope I get mine because I want to read it and show it to a few specific people. I wonder what it says. I hope I get it.

Graduation Party?
Everyone seems to be inviting me to graduation parties and it made me think on whether or not I want one. I really don’t but I want to hang out with everyone and be the center of attention for one night. Maybe I’ll take some friends into the city or something in a limo. Just a thought.

A Night of Confusion
Tonight was a mess. It was the MTV Movie Awards and I was all excited because Lauren told me that Usher was going to be performing. At EVERY commercial break, there was a commercial of usher singing it and it said “Usher - MTV Movie Awards Performance”. 1 hour goes by. No usher. The show ends. No usher. I’m Googling all over the place to try to find out why and I found nothing...

How Come Tumblr Isn't More Popular?
It just occured to me that this would be so much cooler if more than three people I know had Tumblrs. My Dashboard would be hopping! Just a thought.

Where's The Party At?
Last night was Amy’s sweet 16. I picked up Kevin and we went. It ended up being a pretty cool night. The DJ wasn’t the greatest but he did okay and played a lot of the songs that Amy liked, which was probably the point. The food was decent and everyone had a great time. When it was all over, I was driving Joe and Kevin home but we decided to stop and get drinks at the Mobil station....
