I am more than ready to kill a certain teacher at my school.

Mr. Pomerantz is making my life a living hell. He doesn't like me; I could tell that right off. He says I am a "lazy student, that I don't apply myself"; if I don't start working towards imrproving on my schoolwork he is going to fail me, give me an "F" in Social Studies.

Well?? Social Studies is B-O-R-I-N-G with a capital "B"! I don't see why we have to learn about dead guys way back in time or the dates of certain events or about things like the Spanish-American War or the Crimean War or stuff about King Tut! GAD!! I mean, how bland can one guy get????

Personally I think Mr. Pomerantz is nothing but a pompous asshole who is full of himself. He thinks he's the greatest thing since sliced bread. I can't STAND the dude!!

Stinko here. Sorry for not writing; things have been crazy here at school as well as at home. Stevie, my kid brother, had another surgery around New Year's Day (he just got out of the hospital last week; he's still pretty weak, but he's doing better), so Ma and Pa are fussing over him while I'm left, more or less, to fend for myself.

School is also a big hassle. I am having major issues with my Social Studies class, as I've alluded to above. In addition, I tried to get a certain girl (Echo Ramirez) to go out with me; she doesn't want anything to do with me. I don't know why: I may not be much to look at, but I am a rather nice guy! All she needs to do is look past my ugliness, see the tender, caring, compassionate side of me!

I got into big trouble last week: flunked out in French; got an "F" on my French test. Boy, were the parental units sore at me!! I got grounded, got my computer privileges taken away. Just got back on the computer last night; I must have had a gazillion e-mails or IM's!!

Well, I am supposed to be studying for a test in General Science instead of writing in my journal; I just had to let you know how things were going with me. Things have been crazy for the Stink-Man!

Hopefully things will start to settle soon. I sure hope so!! A guy can only take so much craziness in his life before he goes completely off the deep end!

Bye for now! I will write in here again soon! Hopefully next time I do, things will be much better!

~"Stinko".

P.S.: People still think I have issues with my last name (Stinkowitz). The truth is, I don't. (Most of the time!) Most people can't pronounce it, so I go by "Stinko". It's gross sounding, but hey--it's much easier!! :) Or they call me "Mike", which is okay, too! :)
