Hey everyone sorry i have not updated in a while but i was getting ready for DC. and now that im here i can tell you all about it. We arived in Dc on the 12 and i didnt know what to expect. But everyone here is awesome i have met some awesome people and had some amazing experiences. Earlier in the week we had a meeting on the house floor. It was amazing when i was sitting in one of the representatives chairs i felt like thats where i belong. DC seems as apart of me almost as much as Huntington is to me. Well after hearing the congresswoman speak we were able to go meet with our representatives. if you want to hear the awesome story im me or call me cuz i refuse to type it out its just to long and to amazing for words so just call me or whatever. But after that day was over we ended up going to a LA galaxy game against DC united. Galaxy tied it up but i was a little disspointed in their performance. I have met so many amazing people on this trip and have made so many new friends. Good times with byron and brittnay. I also met a girl from los al High who knows almost every single one of my best friends and that was really cool. Im so glad i got to know her. Im going to do my best to stay in touch. DC is probably the most amazing city ive been to. We toured arlington yesterday and it truely made me realize how great this country is and how much we owe not only our founding fathers but also the service men and women that put there lives on the line for this country everyday. i also was able to see the new world war II memorial which was absoluetly amazing. to see how many men were involved with that operation was incrediable. On a lighter note, i came into this confrence thinking that all the girls would look like stuck up chicks that have french manacuries and drive BMW's and benz's but thats absolutely not the case. There are some of the most amazing girls here. (thats for you wes :-)And lindsay guess what? there all from texas lol. well a lot of them are. throughout the whole trip i have been blown away to see how much time and effort it takes to run our country. If you want to here the good stories from my trip then call me cuz i refuse to write them down :-D |

Wow its been a long time since i have updated. I'm sorry guys i have just been really busy. First of all alex im sorry i haven't called u in awhile but i will do my best to call u today actually i take that back i will call u today :-). I am going to go see Harry Potter today. I hope its good. The movies have been a bit of a disspaointment because the books are so much better. Anyways lately i have been doing a lot of thinking. As most of you know im a big history freak. I love reading, i love politics, i love religon, you know im just a weird teenager. Tomorrow is the 60th anniversary of D-day.
Here's two reasons why im so sucked into politics and history and the military. For one, no one will fully understand the position im in because of what my family goes through. The reason i am so obsessed with history and religon and the news is because i have to be. When you have a dad that is over there a lot fighting u tend to get pulled into it. And i dislike alot of the people in my grade that just love ripping me apart and bashing me just because i like to debate about this stuff. Thats how i deal with my uneasiness i talk is that so much of a crime? If you could take my place for a week you would understand what i mean. If half the people could see what i have seen or been where i have been you would understand why im the way i am.
You know one of the most moving things i remember is seeing my grandfather look at the pictures from normandy and what went on over there. He lost so many friends, he started to break down in tears. Last year i went with my grandpa and grandma to lay flowers on the soldiers grave in angeles temple. That was also a moving experience. Its amazing to see how long those rows of crosses go on. And then it made me think how much more important it is to take out these terrorists. You know i know im an unusual person but hey its me. Wow and as im typing this i just found out Ronald Reagan died. Amazing how life can take turns isnt it? Well look people may have an idea of who i am but theres some things they dont know that they cant know. But i just hope i have been a good friend to all of you. And if i did anything to offend you i am sorry. Thanks for always being there and let me know how all of you are doing k? |

you know now that this year is almost over i have looked back on the differences between freshman and sophomore year. And i have come to the conclusion that this year sucked hard compared to freshman year. Not cuz of school (although that was part of it) it is that i have been hurt so much this year by "friends" and i mean im use to it now i have come to the realization that friends come and go but i feel that there is a way a person can enter your life and a way a person leaves your life and that can mean the difference between a good and bad relationship and for the most part the friends that have gone out of my life left in a very hurtful way. I mean im human yes i have falts and yes people change but at least give me a reason. To leave person like is the most awful feeling in the world. But to all of the ones i do have i love you gues to death and you are absolutely amazing. i guess ill end on a happy note which is IM GOIN TO PROM TOMORROW HURRAY hopefully that goes well. |

Blood on the Risers
Unknown
He was just a rookie trooper and he surely shook with fright.
He checked off his equipment and made sure his pack was tight.
He had to sit and listen to those awful engines roar.
You ain't gonna jump no more.
Chorus:
Gory, gory, what a hell of way to die.
Gory, gory, what a hell of way to die.
Gory, gory, what a hell of way to die.
He ain't gonna jump no more.
"Is everybody happy?" cried the sergeant looking up.
Our hero feebly answered, "Yes", and then they stood him up.
He jumped into the icy blast, his static line unhooked.
And he ain't gonna jump no more.
He counted long, he counted loud, he waited for the shock.
He felt the wind, he felt the cold, he felt the awful drop.
The silk from his reserve spilled out and wrapped around his legs.
And he ain't gonna jump no more.
The risers swung around his neck, connectors cracked his dome.
Suspension lines were tied in knots around his skinny bones.
The canopy became his shroud, he hurtled to the ground.
And he ain't gonna jump no more.
The days he lived and loved and laughed kept running through his mind.
He thought about the girl back home, the one he left behind.
He thought about the medicos and wondered what they'd find.
And he ain't gonna jump no more.
The ambulance was on the spot, the jeeps were running wild.
The medics jumped and screamed with glee, rolled up their sleeves and smiled.
For it had been a week or more since last a 'chute had failed.
And he ain't gonna jump no more.
He hit the ground, the sound was "Splat," his blood went spurting high.
His comrades they were heard to say, "A helluva way to die."
He lay there rolling 'round in the welter of his gore.
And he ain't gonna jump no more.
There was blood upon the risers, there were brains upon the 'chute.
Intestines were a-dangling from his paratrooper suit.
He was a mess, they picked him up and poured him from his boots.
And he ain't gonna jump no more. |

Im watching the tv show band of brothers and if you guys dont know that show its about Easy Company in the 101st airborne division in world war two and their heroic battle from normandy all the way up to berlin. Yes i know im a military brat but u dont need to tell me anymore. Sometimes i wish that my friends could understand where i come from and why i am the way i am. I mean no one understands that i take a lot of stuff seriously. Now my good friends know when im joking but i mean a lot of stuff i take seriously. Like just now the 101st found a nazi concentration camp. When i see stuff like this it makes me furious but you know great leaders dont lead with emotions they lead with a level minded head. If people knew of my background as an armenian, if they knew of the history my family has gone through to be successful, if they only knew what my dad has been through and what its like living as a American Citizen in the US and what it was like to come from the middle east where his house was blown up twice, he was shot at on his way to school, where he had to always answer the door with a revolver in his hands because he did not know if the person at the door was friend or fow. If they only knew of his struggles as a immigrant in this country and how hard he had to work to get a college education and to recieve his education as well as citizenship. If they only knew of his struggle in the military and wanting to achieve his dream as a colonel in the United States Air Force. If they only knew what it was like. Sometime i think that we have it to easy here in this country. I mean look at us were all well off in a lovely house most of us with good families, we have a school to get education, friends, no wars, no famines, no bloodshed. I mean honestly our country isnt what the worlds like, its better. We seriously have got it real good here and its sad because i look around and realize a lot of my generation takes all of it for granted. Its so sick, i mean we seriously dont know how good we have it. I wish sometimes people could go to the middle east or another country and see how fortunate we are as americans. Everyday i thank God for the soldiers like my dad and the ones over seas. God i love them they seriously feel like family. Its such an awesome feeling going and meeting them. I know i seem really similar to people, but there is so much stuff different about me that i dont tell anyone or havent told anyone. Its nothing bad, its just stuff u know? Well no one will really know what its like. I honestly live a different life then most people but im glad im living it in the best city in the world |

OMG i got so freaked out cuz i had plans for today and i didnt want to cancel them. So i called my dad and i was trying to convince him to let me take the pimp mobile but he wouldnt let me because i didnt have enough "experience" driving it. So i called my mechanic and what happenes he tells me to try to start it with the gear in neutral, so i attempt it and vuala it worked. So i went and got my doughnuts and came home and here i am. well im getting ready to go to disneyland with my buddies, oh btw wes is testing for his permit.

so yesterday my friend joanna asked me to prom. Which kinda suprised me because i mean dont get me wrong im honored but im just suprised that i got picked. Hmmm whatever im not complaining. Well anyways her and a couple other friends of ours went to d-land yesterday and had a awesome time. I must say catcha phrase is a great game it really passes the time away lol. Trying to look for something to do today i asked her if she wanted to go minature golfing today maybe we can get a group. I just really dont want to read my english books today although i really should be spending more time on it but i mean its my break i need a vacation can u give a guy a break. Lately other then that awesome time i had yesterday ive been doing a lot of thinking. Im just feeling a little down lately. I mean here i am in the most amazing city in the US and i feel like crap. i guess maybe im trying to do to much in and out of school. If you guys only knew half the stuff i was doing u probably would scream just like what im about to do now. I need a real break i need summer to come. I need to not worry about school or grades. ITs really bugging me, ive got big plans for my future and for what i want to do with the rest of my life. Where i want to live, what i want to do, Where i want to go. I mean its all right here in my head but it just doesnt feel like im getting any closer to it. I can see it to just out of my grip. But maybe its not what im suppose to do but what else do i have to shoot for right now? im only in high school. Also another thing thats been bugging me is that i honestly feel im not living up to be a good enough friend for some people. And its been bugging me all week. I dont know im goin now i need to read. later |

Im hoping to go to d-land with arielle. It's been a while since we've been able to hang out and im looking forward to it. If we cant do it tomorrow then probably monday but thats cool. On the down side i have 3 books to read for english ahhhh. But im goin to night of Champions later on this month for orange county and then later on in the year held by the one at my moms college Azusa Pacific University. Well some good news is i found out im going to D.C. for the National Leadership Confrence. That will be awesome cuz i have a lot of friends over there that i havent seen in a while and im so glad im goin to see them. Well let me know whats goin on |

well i turned the news on this afternoon and what was the headline? the troops have apparently surrounded the second in command with Bin Laden. If they get him its only a matter of time until we find that bastard. You know a lot of my friends are liberals and i listen to them just harp on me and my decisions and my stands so now its my turn. So many people have oppossed this war and i dont know why.
1. if your going to get rid of terrorism you must attack it. It is not something that can be compromised or talked about like a lot of Europeans want to do. But heres my analagy though we havent found the weapons and we might not i always think of things differently then people. Lets say your at a bank and a man comes up to you and says i have a gun in my jacket. Give me your money or ill kill you. Whats the natural reaction of a person? you give them the money but how do u know if your really going to live after that? Why dont you just beat that guys ass down on the spot? Better to beat him up before he can threaten your life. You cant wait for terrorism to come to you you have to go to it first and though it may cost some lives in turn it will save thousands.
2. Obviously the Europeans and proven soft when it comes to tackling terrorism. In Madrid what happens? An explosion blows up a train and injurs God only knows how many people. What does the public of Spain do? they get rid of the government that was trying to get rid of terrorism. That is a victory for those bastards that bombed us on Sep. 11. Now there was a bomb threat today on the english chunnel near france and there was another scare in Germany. Now if these people and populations are being threatened by terrorism why arent the governments doing anything to protect the people? Because there so Damn liberal they feel theres good in everyone. They feel that America and the Western countries are the ones to blame and that its our fault for making them "uncomfortable" That is the biggest piece of shit i have ever heard in my life. These terrorist groups these "people" will stop at nothing to destroy democracy freedom and liberty. There is no compromising with these people no matter what anyone says. Obviously the people of Spain still feel that there is hope for "saving" the troubled terrorists because now the damn socialist have taken over their country. Ajusting a government is not going to prevent further attacks. Getting rid of our president is not going to prevent further attacks. Not going to war is not going to prevent further attacks. It is only going to give those bastards more time to further their gatherings, get more weapons, and plan bigger attacks. Do you honestly think you can talk compromise and meet on common ground with these people? No!! Because they've been raised to kill kill kill. Though killing is bad it is sometimes nessecary. It is nessecary to preserve the rights and freedoms of the American people. Some say are the lives lost at war really worth it? And i say Yes beacause those lives lost ensure the freedom and liberties of today. I would gladly give my life for anyone of my friends so that they may live i dont care waht their religon is, political prefrence is, or what their personality is like i would gladly lay down my life for them. Yes i may sound like a intolerant person or some what byist, but im not. Im not racist, im not anti-semitic, in not prejudice. I will accept anyone i meet why because they have human rights and feelings to. But when it comes to terrorist and governments that harbor terrorists or anyone that threatens my freedom my friends or families freedom or my country. I will bring down those terrorist. They dont deserve a trial they dont deserve rights. Once someone threatens the safety and security of a person those rights that are give to him or her as a human go out the door. I swear to God on my life i will do whatever it takes to defend my freedom my country and my family and friends. So when asked, "Were you in favor of going to war with Iraq?" i say yes. Why? Because i dont trust middle eastern countries, i dont trust the U.N., and because we as americans should not have to get permission to defend the American people. "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing."-Edmund Burke

OMG how awesome was this trip i had so much fun. Last time i updated i was in London so you guys didnt hear about hastings. On the second to last day of London we went to see the LION KING in theaters, and then AMMANS daughter took us to this awesome club were we went clubbing for a while it was like the third one i was in in london so it was really cool and man are those english girls hot! then the last day we were in london we were able to go and hang out by ourselves and that night we experienced one of the best MR AMMAN moment yet. If any of you know who he is you'll know that he is the best con man you know. So he gathered us in this confrence room (which he was supposed to rent out but didnt) and he made us get chairs and sit around in a circle and talk abotu some one we got to knwo the most on the trip and after that was all over we decided to have a big group hug and while we were huging amman goes into the other room and sees a big apple pie that was for another confrence and he brings it in with only 2/3 of it being there and says i thought u guys might liek this and we started laughing so hard it was great. After that we went down to hastings for another confrence and we dominated at that one
omg we kicked so much ass at it as well as the one in bath. and that was cool cuz there was this really really beautiful girl that i met there and got her s/n and stuff and it was cool so yeah that trip rocked it was truely the best expereince in my life and i dont care how many tests i have to make up it was worth it |

| v-day 2 |
[Feb. 14th, 2004|01:45 pm] |
so im sitting here and i was thinking what really is valentines day? I mean it does not just involve getting presents and chocolate for your significant other. Or writing romantic poems and love stories to your lady. It means going out of your way to show your girl how much you really love her. This is a day for lovers and dreamers not lusters or liers. I was at dinner last night with my grandparents parents and aunt and uncle and i was just thinking, "This is my grandparents 62 wedding anniversary. How amazing it is to be with the same person your whole life sharing everything with each other and knowing you'll always have support." When my grandpa said I love you to my grandma it was really amazing. I mean seriously how many times has a guy said i love you to a girl and actually meant it. I walk around school seeing so much of that. All of them sit on the wall right on the sides of the bowl in the middle of the school on top of each other or holding each other making out and i walk past them almost everyday and hear at least one of them say I love you. They don't love them they lust them. I mean come on what is love? Can you tell me what love is? Love isn't telling a girl, "if you loved me you would sleep with me." its not buying rich gifts and lavishing her with materialistic items. Love is a bond between a man and a woman blessed by God and sanctified by the heart. Love is willing to lay down your life for that person so that the other might live. Love is being there when everyone else has turned their back or run away. Love is taking the girl in your arms looking into her eyes, the window to the soul and saying, "I LOVE YOU!" and really meaning it. It shouldn't take materialistic possessions to prove it. Don't get me wrong i love Valentines day i just wish the world would concentrate more on the aspects of love then the gift getting or chocolate eating part. I know some might disagree with me but hey its my opinion just like your entitled to yours. An i respect every opinion someone says to me. I may not agree with it but i will respect it. Just respect mine as well. So have i told you lately that i love you?
Have I told you lately that I love you
Have I told you there's no one else above you
Fill my heart with gladness
take away all my sadness
ease my troubles that's what you do
For the morning sun in all it's glory
greets the day with hope and comfort too
You fill my life with laughter
and somehow you make it better
ease my troubles that's what you do
There's a love that's divine
and it's yours and it's mine like the sun
And at the end of the day
we should give thanks and pray
to the one, to the one
Have I told you lately that I love you
Have I told you there's no one else above you
Fill my heart with gladness
take away all my sadness
ease my troubles that's what you do
There's a love that's divine
and it's yours and it's mine like the sun
And at the end of the day
we should give thanks and pray
to the one, to the one
And have I told you lately that I love you
Have I told you there's no one else above you
You fill my heart with gladness
take away my sadness
ease my troubles that's what you do
Take away all my sadness
fill my life with gladness
ease my troubles that's what you do
Take away all my sadness
fill my life with gladness
ease my troubles that's what you do
Happy Valentines day to all and know that to everyone reading this im always here to talk to if u need it. |
