bob marley.

two years ago, sophomore year, i had to take fundamentals of art in order to one day be able to graduate.

that class, was spectacular. that was when ms nelson and i were on great terms. which i really hope we still are; i wouldnt know because i havent seen her in the longest time. i hear shes out again pursuing her career as an artist, this time with some multimillionaire husband to back her. i hear they even have a street named after him. hagler. interesting. good for her.

that class was where i got even closer to jonathan fan, my love! he used to complain to me about his horrible bus rides, and how he couldnt wait to drive, and then he began driving, and he felt he was the worst driver ever, and then he didnt want to drive. i think he drives now. in fact, he drives to work! woo hoo for jamba juice and jonathan, and jalliterations. =P

that class is also where i met justin and jeff. wow. justin, jeff, jonathan, and jamba juice. good blog. oh thats also where i met nate. eh nate. hahaha i still adore nate regardless of the fact that his name isnt jnate. and thats where i reconnected with one of my best friends from 8th grade, susan. still love susan.

justin and jeff were seniors at that time, and we were sophomores.

justin and jeff showed me what mary j (see the j) was. i've never done it, and i still dont want to. but i guess thanks to them i can say that yes i've seen it, smelled it, and held it in my hand. i dont mean to say this in order to sound cool or experienced or anythign that you can think of. i just mean to say this because when someone asks me if i've ever seen the stuff, me being me, i can say that i have, and held it and smelled it, and i owe that to them two. jeff offered me some, to smoke once. justin told jeff to take it back. justin wrote in my yearbook that i'm going to grow up to be the president one day. maybe that had to do with why he wouldnt let jeff give me some.

anyway. i love those guys even today, after not having seen them for a good enough long time. every year after that i would see jeff sometimes. i saw him once when i went to coldstones, he was working over at pro sports. justin and jeff were really really nice guys. really nice. jeff was the varsity soccer captain. justin was on the team. i think. either way, they were both just really great guys.

and i miss them.

anyway.

they liked to listen to bob marley. whenever we had to draw something, they would pull out pictures of bob. or marijuana. or "shrooms". gosh, i was so naive before i met them. i used to think drugs didnt exist at dbhs. hahaha. thank you jeff and justin.

so yeah.

they used to think i was a good artist. that meant a lot to me. well, it also meant a lot to me that ms. nelson thought i was a good artist.

so one day we were just sitting there, waiting for the bell to ring. i had been helping someone draw something, and then someone, either jeff justin jonathan or susan or nate... maybe not nate.. i dont remember. SOMEONE, lol, asked me to draw bob.

i did. i drew something, someone in ten minutes. and then the bell rang. and they thought it was good, and i thought, what the heck. and it wasnt finished. but i brought it home and just left it on my table.

and i left to go to school the next day.
and i came back.

and my mom had framed it.

anyway.

i like it.

and maybe its bad
and maybe its good

but i like it, so i'm going to put it up here so you can see.

thanks guys for listening.




ps

this is really funny.

i volunteer at a hospital. have some great friends there too. in fact, there are these two guys that are great buddies. their names are, geoff and justin.
