9-28-89 "Education is the transmission of civilization." – Will and Ariel Durant I don’t really have anything much to say except I don’t feel too good today and I’m really bored. I don’t think Nikki and Sean are going to get back together but maybe it’s a good thing.

9-27-89 "It’s the most unhappy people who most fear change." – Mignon McLaughlin I don’t really have anything to write, because nothing has happened. Nikki and Sean are talking again. I tried to call Mark yesterday but he was busy, so I guess I’ll call him back today. I really miss him, I haven’t seen him in about a…

9-26-89 There is a lot going on with Sean, Nikki and Bridgette. I really think Nikki should forget about him. I don’t understand how he can do all he has done to her and she still loves him. That, to me, does not make any sense at all. But, as they say, love is blind.

9-25-89 "If thought can corrupt language, language can also corrupt thought." – George Orwell My weekend was totally boring. I stayed home all day Friday, Saturday and Sunday. I went to church Sunday and when we left church, we went to Nikki’s house. Sean and she are going to get back together. I am happy for them.

9-21-89 "After silence, that which comes closest to expressing the inexpressible is music." – Alddus Huxley Sometime I can be at home and my mom will be there and I will feel so lonely. It’s like no one in the entire world cares about me. I guess that is sort of strange but that’s how I feel sometimes.…

9-20-89 "The man who makes no mistakes does not usually make anything." – Bishop W.C. Magee I went to the White Lion/Cinderella concert last night. It was the most exciting night of my life. I met Eric Brittingham, the bassist from Cinderella, Ron Taylor, the singer from Lillian Axe, Stevie Blaze, the guitarist from Lillian Axe, and four…

9-18-89 "I’m never bored anywhere: Being bored is an insult to oneself." – Jules Reinard I am very confident that our band will work out. I think we are gonna start practicing maybe this weekend. Nikki is definitely going to get her drums today. I can’t believe this is actually happening.

9-15-89 "A free society is one where it is safe to be unpopular." – Adlai Stevenson My ambition is to become a famous rock star. This dream, to some, may seem foolish, but it is what I really want to do with my life. I play guitar in a band. I happen to have started the band,…

9-13-89 "America is a land where a citizen will cross the ocean to fight for democracy and won’t cross the street to vote in a national election." – Bill Vaughan Monday we have a field trip to the levee. I don’t think I’m gonna go because I don’t have any money and I get extremely sick on a…
