Journal is so cool. Just thought i would let you all know. You can write whatever you want and nobody will ever know. Unless someone decides to be nosy. But seriously if you don't journal, i dare you to try it out. And if you hate it, that's cool too! I just think its really cool to let your mind out, because sometimes you don't have anyone to talk to, so you "talk" to the paper, sorta. I might post some things that i think are pretty cool that i write down sometimes...
school is lame
life is good
life is hard

Switchfoot Bro-am/VBS
Switchfoot Bro-am
Last Saturday, June 27th was the 5th annual Switchfoot Bro-am. It was awesome. It was amazing. I loved it. Got a picture with Mr. Jon Foreman himself and got my one-of-a-kind pillow case with the four EP's he has out tree sewed onto it signed.
here is a picture of that
so yeah, that is awesome.
he said "wow did you make this? i am honored"
<---the writing right there is where he signed it, in case you cant see it.
And the set list of the concert...
Stars
Oh! Gravity.
Gone/Crazy In Love(Beyonce mash-up)
This Is Your Life
Mess Of Me
Mess Of Me(new)
Bullet Soul(new)
Awakening
Meant To Live
Dare You To Move
I Won't Back Down(Tom Petty cover...yes i know who Tom Petty is)
And got a nice spicy chicken sandwich at wendys on the way home.
VBS(Vacation Bible School)
My church, theGrove, has been putting a great vbs this year, and i got asked to play in the worship band. It is a whole lot of fun and i love doing it.
Basically we play music in the morning and right at the very end. And in between we eat, play ping-pong, and act like rockstars.
"We are not rockstars, we just live like them"
Good times, this week has been great, and tiring. But its all good.

How am I?
well currently i am destroying this ham sandwich. So i would say that i am doing pretty good. Actually i think i am doing great. wow i actually said that.
The question "how are you doing?" goes around all the time. Recently for the past few months i have answered with "i'm okay" or "i'm fine" or even sometimes "i'm good". But this past few days something is going on and i feel great! Some people have asked me how i am doing and i gave the answer "great" I'm thinking that its the end-of-school beginning-of-summer thing.
Well whatever it is its awsome. I guess i may have just relized that life is beautiful and im breathing so its all good. So how am i?...im great.
Finished with that sandwich now. I am super stoked for this weekend. Going camping at the beach, what is better then that? Surfing, music, more surfing, more music, and s'mores! awsome. Can't wait. Another thing to add, i found i made it onto the main service worship team. I was really worried i didn't have a good audition, but i made it. awsome. On the note of music i wrote a song about a week or two ago and recorded a little demo that only about 3 or 4 people have heard. Its not amazing, but if you would like to hear it just talk to me or send me a message and i'll get that to you.
sweet. thanks for reading and have a great day/night.

Darfur
In our english class we have been working on a project. Something about genocide. For those dictionary people this is for you
(according to dictionary.com)
Genocide-noun- the deliberate and systematic extermination of a national, racial, political, or cultural group.
There is a region in Sudan called Darfur. There is an ongoing war going on there right now, at this very moment. This conflict started when two rebel groups felt they were being rejected by the government. In February of 2003, they started launching attacks. People, human beings, are being murdered. The casualty of this is more than 300,000 people dead, and more than 2.5 million people displaced.
What are we doing about this? really...not much.
As you may recall the recent "swine flu" incident. A very small number of people died from this, and 1.5 billion dollars was spent. Thats $1,500,000,000.
On the other hand, some 300,000 people have died in Darfur, and nothing done to stop this.
My good buddy(or not) Jon Foreman of Switchfoot, has been on a fast and is the reason i am posting this. Try to get some awareness of what is going on in the other side of the world.
Here is an interview of him. Its kinda long though, sorry.
I pray that America gets its act together, and starts helping the people who are really in need.

The State Tests
So this week at my demented school we have been taking the California State Tests. which are in my opinion, a huge waste of time. Tuesday started at 8 and ended around two. Started with the english/language Section. It was pretty easy. Then moved on to world history part. left at two, got home and i chilled it.
Wednesday was pretty much a useless day in my life. didn't do anything productive, EXCEPT for church. i went to youth group and it was great.
There was actually a moment during the worship where the thought came to me, "Who would accept me for past mistakes, or what i look like, or who i am?" This thought doesn't come to me that much, because i just don't care that much. i mean, if you don't like me, that's not my problem. But for some weird reason, it was in my mind.
But then just before the last song(How He Loves Us, as posted below)he mentioned that God doesn't care what you have done, or what you will do, he still loves you. crazy, but true. he quoted a lyric from that song "if grace is an ocean we're all sinking." we don't deserve it but the great thing is, we get it!
anyway thought i would say that.
Back to testing. Test started around 8. Today we had math(geometry for me) and then life science. both of them subjects i am not good with. so i probably did horrible, but the good thing is they are not graded. these tests apparently tell how good the school is doing with teaching. so if i do bad they are bad teachers right? hah me and my brilliance could get the school shut down. so finished my test way early and just hung around until i got picked up. now i am off to waste my day owning noobs on halo.
oh and the teacher said something like, be productive with your time, for those of us who finished the test earlier then others. so i made myself a friend.
ohh yeah, 100% legit.
-peace

video worth the viewing
I don't know if anyone has seen this video, but it is defiantly powerful, and definitely worth the watch. We play this song in our high school youth band sometimes and i love when i we play it because this song is amazing! Words cannot really describe the video so just watch.
Anyway, thought i would share this. In case your wondering, the song is called "How He Loves Us, by John Mark McMillan.
As of now life is kinda eh, kinda good. Summer is about a month away, and i am super stoked for that. Although right now, with this weather, it sort of feels like we are already in summer...

Relationships
If you don't have a boyfriend or girlfriend you are not cool. You're a loser, nerd, or any other word like these.
This is so much bull! why is this the thought of people???
I was invited to hang out with my friend, and we decided to go to the Riverside Plaza and chill. His sister and her best friend came along too. At one point in the night it was just me, her and her best friend. My friend was away on the phone. a little awkward
So the subject of boyfriends and girlfriends and relationships came up. I just kept my mouth shut. Then the question came to me, "How is your love life?" I simply said, "There is none." And to sum it up, she just said, you need a girlfriend. I didn't say much to this statement, but in my head i was thinking, no, no i do not need a girlfriend. There had been someone sorta mentioned that she knew i liked, and she said, "you should/need to ask her out."...seriously, why??? why ruin a relationship(friends wise)??? If and when the time comes for anything more, then it will happen, i do not want to rush anything. shes a great girl, and i really do not want to ruin our friendship.
and to get off subject for a second. i am not putting down the girl that said this to me, she is not the only one. it just bugs me when people tell me this kind of stuff.
Anyway...you might be thinking(if you know me) "wait a minute Dana, haven't you had girlfriends before?" and the answer is yes, i have. But you learn from your mistakes. I realized that heck, I'm too young for this sort of thing right now. And its high school, i should be happy and living life, not worrying about marriage and future life.
And also if you're wondering, just to clear any rumors or anything up, Yes, there is a girl i like, but No it is nothing serious. nothing wrong with that right? correct me if i am wrong. If and when the time comes for anything to happen, then by Gods plan, let it happen! he knows what i want, and what i need. And he will give me what i really, truly need
But for now, i will live life single, and happy. yeah, I'm happy. life is chill. I'm just hoping that it will stay like this when school starts again.
lemme know what you think about this.
