Well today is finally coming to a close and I still have pink eye and a sore throat but never fear...the courageous Donnie is willing to tough it out and go to school even though I do indeed feel like complete shit and I don't appreciate ms.carter trying to be sarcastic to me about getting my work done when I had it done 15 minutes before that even though it was rather obvious that my voice was getting raspy and my eyes were bloodshot which led to some people asking if I had been smoking up even though that just isnt my cup of tea.  The only reason I am even going to school is because this has probably been the most messed up year as far as my health goes and attendance which has in turn effected my grades and me work ethic which started back in September when I got strep and then got my wisdom teeth cut out in October and getting Mono for 3 weeks between November and December which caused me to miss 21 days last semester and I have already  missed 5 days this semester and my pre-cal teacher is complaining about my attendance because somehow she has me down for missing 9-11 days in her class which I find highly unlikely because that is 2nd period so at most I have 7 for her which is what I have in 1st period because 2 of them were just me being late to school. Anyhoo I just wrote all that to try and see if I could better explain that to myself but it just doesnt seem to be working so oh well. 

Tonight, I went and watched the varsity baseball game down at the Tyson capital of the world AKA Piedmont and watched SV pretty much cruise to a 7-3 victory. They pretty much set the tone in the first inning by scoring 5 and stayed up from there. The reason I went to the game though was because my English teacher was trying to boost attendance by giving extra credit to anyone who showed up to the game so I did.  Otherwise, I would have scoped out the Battle of the Bands that was going down in Weddington where my bro went to  tonight with some peoples so I will have to find out who won from him in the morn.

This weekend went by rather smoothly as well, on Saturday at Stumptown park in Matthews, Stevefest 1.5 was held and I would have to say that it went really well with a better turnout that I had anticipated and some of the bands exceeded my expectations for them meanwhile a few bands that I had already seen before.....well they didn't do anything to change my opinion of them, but the turnout was really good and the interaction with the bands went well and TBAM was awesome even though I must say that I just listened to them for the most part although they had a decent sized pit working out for them which was real cool.  Then on Sunday, I was up at Myers Park and while I was there I saw the goofiest speed bumps if you want to call them that because thy just kind of looked like 3 giant turtle shells going across the street and felt like i had run over a body but they are rather interesting.

Well that is about it for my weekend that I can share but Metallica and Godsmack is coming on Friday so hopefully I will be able to hit that show up to make up for the 2 shows I missed my freshman year but we shall see how things shape up for that. Anyhoo, peace, love, and respect thyself.
