#30 You've Been Struck By A Smooth Criminal

R.I.P. Michael Jackson.
I really can't believe how some people still put his charges first before his musical achievements. I'm still shocked and can't get my head wrapped around the fact that he's dead. Moreover, I never thought that such a legend can just disappear like that.
I guess this is just another example of human life and how fast it can slip by.

Well, let's not dwell on the negative and move on to other news.

Recently I applied for a volunteer opportunity for John Liu (New York Councilman) to finish my 200 hrs of community service. I'm lucky to get an acceptance letter! :) I'm really excited because they do a lot of events over the summer. I'm working about 32 hours a week for 8 weeks. So I'll be done with my hours in no time!

Yesterday, I went to my friend's birthday party. I haven't really hung out with her for about a year. Actually, the last time I went over to her house was exactly a year ago from yesterday. She's really grown and is beautiful now. Her mother was really excited to see me again and kept telling me about how I've gotten prettier. But I really doubted it and I got really shy. Compliments...wear me out. I don't know how to respond half the time.

Anyways, tomorrow is the last day of school. My friend is also planning to break up with his girlfriend tomorrow. He's really unhappy and "tired of this relationship". He explained to me his reasons and from what I can tell, he just wants to party it up and get as many STDs as possible. I understand. It's like the typical boys from Superbad or American Pie. They don't wanna be committed early in their teenage lives yet.
I'm not sure how to handle both of them since they're both my friends. I figure that I would need to support the girl a lot since she was so committed. I already told the guy that I'd go watch a movie with him though. Oh, whatever...I'll manage to help the girl out as well.

Ugh, it's already midnight. Gotta wake up in a few hours for school. =(.

Comment? Or not.

Love,
Jay
