Graduation Announcements..

Today, we got our graduation announcements at school and I am very excited about graduating high school. I don't think I've ever been so excited about something to do with high school before and ironically, it's leaving it. Well, i brought them home to show my mom and this is what she said: "Six forty five!? Grandma definitely won't be able to make it.."
And I cried.. And I'm still crying.
This is my fucking graduation and she and my grandpa can't make it because they have to go to Tahoe the morning of graduation.. They can't wait a day?
They made it to my sister's graduation, why is mine so different?
Is my graduation less important than hers?
I'm sure they'll make it to my cousin Jeremy's graduation IF and when he graduates.
I've been working my ass off to get this far, I have a 3.83 GPA, and I'm actually TRYING in school.. It kills me that this is upsetting me this much but, sometimes I want to be important to them too. I'll have my mom, dad, and sister there, granted that my sister gets it off work. Excuse me but I had it in my head that graduating high school was kind of a big deal..
Oh well..
Graduation isn't important anyway....
That could possibly be the biggest lie I've ever told..

My Chemical Romance

Yesterday, I attended the My Chemical Romance concert at the Warfield in San Francisco.
As we were beginning our tortuous wait in line, an angry street dweller was being rather rude to everyone and called myself and the rest of the line retards. When he finally left, he called us all rejects. Well, if that isn't the pot calling the kettle black then I don't know what is because last time I checked I had a home to live in and I didn't wet myself on a street corner..But that's just me.
Anway, it got to being around 5:30 pm and my mother showed up because she was also attending the concert. Does that seem weird to you? Well let me explain, my mother puts up with the music I listen to on a daily basis and it just so happens that she really likes My Chemical Romance so as I was using her credit card to order the tickets, she and my sister got 2 balcony tickets while myself and 2 of my friends got pit tickets.
The doors opened at 6:30 pm and that was the last that I saw of my mother and sister until after the show. I said, "Bye mom, bye pooh! love you!" and disappeared through the doors to the floor. Drive By did well, Billy Talent did well, and then there was My Chem..
If you don't like them, i respect your opinion but strongly disagree with it. They are one of the best live bands I've ever seen and I have seen many bands including The Smashing Pumpkins (I'm not complaining or bad talking their show whatsoever, I'm simply showing my range of artists I have seen). As a frontman, Gerard Way is perfect. Bob, Frank, Ray, and Mikey are perfect as musicians. They as a band, are perfect.
Their energy is impeccable and their sound is great.
They give me hope for music today, they give me hope for myself.
I'm rambling, but if you were there you would understand.

That's it..
You should see them once in your life.
Even if you don't like them.

R.I.P. Mr.Abar

David Robert Abar was a teacher at my school, John Swett High School, and he was killed by a drunk driver Saturday March 22, 2008 while crossing in a crosswalk.
I never had him for a teacher personally but I've heard nothing but great things from his students. He was a huge asset to our school in every way. As a teacher, as a friend, and as a person.
His memorial ceremony was held in the auditorium today and although his family is still suffering from this tragedy, they were very optimistic and caring toward the students.
I wish the family his best and I know that somewhere Mr.Abar is listening to Van Halen and watching baseball.
He will be greatly missed.
