I was in Winter Guard class the other day and our coach was telling us how Band and Color is and has been on the chopping block for many years and our Guard class will probably not exist next year. I was in shock that they would even consider cutting the Band program (for people who are not part of Band, Color and Winter Guard are part of that same program we are a family).

I am going to be 18 in a couple of months and I am still a virgin. Most of my friends have not had sex. The ones who did it have had problems with every relationship whenever sex is involved. The ones who have not have had better luck with their relationships. One of my closes friends had sex when she was a freshman in high school and has had sex with most of her boyfriends since then.

When I watch TV I am totally discused at what I am watching. It is the same with magazines. Do famous people know they are looked up to by millions of people and a lot of them are children and teenagers my age?

When I go to school I hear about all of the clubs for Latinos and Black people and I read brown pride all over the bathroom stalls. Now when someone says white pride they are automatically called a raciest. Personally it really annoys me. Yea white people in the past were intolerant to other races but now most white people are not intolerant of other races.

I was sitting in Math class today and my friends I have known since the crib was really angry with this boy in her civics class. They were watching a movie about Gay marriage. Now my friend happens to be a lesbian. This boy sitting behind her was comparing gay people to terrorists. She was so mad how ignorant this boy was and it was making me mad just hearing it.

Not so long ago you played baseball with me in the yard
Now you fight for your life
So far away
I can still hear you calling me in my sleep
Common lets go
everyone is waiting
I get scared at night and I go to your bed
But you are not there
I crawl into it anyway
I dream of you crying for help
For your fallen brothers
Wishing you were home with your family
with me

First let me share some backround on my family and how this subject came up last night. I grew up in a household where there are mostly men and they are the type of men who burp and fart all the time. My parents grew up in the 50s and 60s. They taught us kids to try not to burp in public or cover your mouth and say excuse me.
