Hi, I'm Alex
all I do is play the flute & I have no friends.
Edit: Thanks for hacking my Tumblr, Jordan Jones. :)

A New Year's Resolution
2011 is almost here! 2010 has been hard on everyone, and each year gets progressively more difficult as we learn to cope with new experiences. Whether it be financial problems, difficulty in school, new friends, a recent death in the family, a newfound love, a new activity, or even deciding what college you’re going to go to, 2010 was crucial. And 2011 will be even more crucial. I read...
Kisses on the neck are my ultimate weakness.
Agreed.
Happy Day-After-Christmas :D
I just wanted to say, (even though few people read this) that I’m thankful for the kind people in my life. I’ve been running a fever for about 24 hours now. I was in bed most of Christmas, but it was nice to actually relax. In that time, Jordan offered to come over with some ginger ale and cough drops, and Trevor came by for what was only supposed to be...

Checklist
Ah, happy/merry christmas everyone. New straightener win! Sore throat and sickliness fail :( But that’s quite all right, I got to hang out and play flute with Iza this week, (which was freakin’ awesome) my brothers and stepdad are here, Dad is feeling much better, and Jordan reminded me how much I love the Holst’s The Planets. I have a list of thing to accomplish over this break,...
I could use some help getting through this one
ouch
merry christmas <3
Meraki: It's time. →

It’s time to put the bad things behind us. Accept that they are there in your past, and remember them, lest they should happen again. But don’t dwell. Never dwell.
It’s time to take a step forward into the world. No matter how nervous or unsure you are.
It’s time to learn from the world around…
I definitely needed to hear this. <3
It’s 1:40AM, I have finals tomorrow, and I have so much on my freakin’ mind!
I can never stress enough how important it is to be open minded to new ideas and beliefs that are completely different than our own. We live in such an ignorant world today, and the problem can be solved by taking the responsibility to educate ourselves and experience new things. As many of you know, my dad...
Rest in Peace
Chuy, the greatest friggin’ dog ever. Everyone loved you, you were so sweet, and it’s hard to say goodbye, but we have to. You’re in a better place now.
We’ll miss you, buddy. <3

Date of Absence: December 16, 2010.
Date of Return: January 4, 2010.
Date of Return to School: January 6, 2010.
I am returning to the States on January 4 and am returning to school January 6. I will be without my cell phone and laptop. Unless I locate an Internet café on my travels, I’ll be…
HAVE FUN, STEVEN! :) :) :)
It’s what you didn’t do, what you didn’t say, and the promise you didn’t keep. Studying for finals. Actually a good day, but thinking too much isn’t good for me.
LAST ALLSTATE INTO THE WOODS REHEARSAL AT MAINE WEST THIS WEEKEND (until the festival, that is!)
I have officially decided to apply. You may think I’m insane. But I promised myself to never give up on my music. This is only the beginning.
Been posting so much lately..
But talking to Izabel Zambrzycki about everything music makes me so so so happy. She gets me. More than everything else. Can’t wait until you’re home and we can chill and talk about life and play. :)
<3
All State is this weekend. 24 hours of practice over two days. I don’t think I’ve ever been quite this excited for something to get me out of the house. :) I’ll be in an environment with talented actors, musicians, technicians, directors, and happy people. CAN’T WAIT.
Also, I got my check tonight from the Swing Band for my (now sponsored) private lessons.
Music never...
Bitchy Teenaged Girls
I guess I can be one of them.
But I’m mostly disappointed in the action some choose to take as well as the lack of reaction from some. I’d like to think I’m more offended by the lack of reaction as opposed to the action actually being taken. Does that make sense? To clarify, I’m more disappointed that this person will not learn from their mistakes than the person actually...
“Karma’s a bitch.”
Why is it that the only places I feel like I belong are nothing close to Antioch? Every place I’ve felt happiest isn’t here. It’s just not. I hate that I have to face growing up to get out of here. Is it so bad to want to go back to where I was comfortable with my life? Back to any of the camps or places that I was happy. I live here, but it’s not a home. I’m tired of the ignorance of this...
If I mess this up, I don’t think I’ll be able to forgive myself.
I wish I could understand how I manage to get myself into these situations where I end up hurting other people and myself in the end.
Cool.
For Denis
I may not be nearly as good as some people are at remembering the facts of AP US History, but I still thoroughly enjoy the class. Murray makes it fun and interesting, and the people in the class are pretty cool.
I promised Denis I would post this from our APUSH class:
Video: Much like Twitter, the telegraph allowed Lincoln to send status updates on the war to other soldiers across the country.
...
I hate disappointing people, feeling distant, and not being able to tell whether people give a shit about our friendship or not.
Right when I step away from the playing, it’s there like a slap in the face. This is frustrating.
I miss my friends and family a lot sometimes, but I have to say, the life of a performing artist is sweet. That is, it will be until January. Once January is over, I won’t be playing in any really advanced ensembles with kids my age. Allstate Pit and Allstate IMEA will be done and over with. But, on a good note, the Antioch Swing Band is going to sponsor me. :) This makes me incredibly...
Whoa..
music is the best thing that ever happened to me.
and happy hanukkah :)
Every wrong note, moment of frustration, tear shed, scary moment and nerve-wrecking audition has been worth it. I’ve made the All-State IMEA band. Placements are to be determined at auditions on that very day, so I have to start working hard. It never ends; I never want it to. I couldn’t imagine a life without all of...
