In a world of black and white, Jonas sees red.

A lot has happened to me and the people I know in the past year. I've seen and heard of countless deaths and births and rejuvenations in the past year. I've made and broken friendships. I've read of new opinions and revised old ones. I've moved from one stage of my life to another, facing disappointment along the way.

I have been rather touched by death recently. My ex-boyfriend's mother died almost two months ago, we all just recently found out about a dear friend to many of us has died, and my friend's grandfather passed away earlier this week. Needless to say, this has caused a lot of thought about death and memories in my group of friends recently.

There is very little I can remember before the age of thirteen, when I started keeping a daily journal with almost religious fervor. If I try hard I can remember facts pretty well - that I got up at six thirty in the morning to catch the bus at seven twenty-five, that my brother was in the same school as I during the first two grades, that I was in a fight in third grade.

On October 12, 2007 I had my Senior Night for Marching Band. At the end of the game I walked from one end zone to the 50 yard line along with the 12 other Senior Band members. I wasn't crying till we made it to the place where the band was standing. Then I saw all of the people I will never march with again.

Everyone has something that reminds them of childhood. Mine come in the form of Disney’s 101 Dalmatians (the animated version).

I’m thrilled that the two disc platinum edition is coming out tomorrow. After finding out about it through a TV commercial, I became very excited and asked my parents to get it for me for Easter.

Dear Daddy,

You called yesterday, but you didn't even bother to speak to me. Do you know how much that hurts.
