Actually a week ago on Easter, October and I celebrated our fifth year anniversary. It is crazy how we met, I ended up needing community service for a DWI they tried to pin on me so I was doing my first major mural for the Boys and Girls Club I now work at. After the mural was done I wanted to go out and celebrate so I convinced her to meet me for a drink. We hit it off and before you know it I was on my way to sunrise service with October and her father (a little hung over). It has been great I love her very much and owe a lot to her for sacrificing and dealing with everything I am trying to do as fast as possible for our future. Recently I took the teens to Fort Warden and I must say, Fort Warden makes Fort Casey look like the McDonald's play land. It was intense, there were so many more bunkers and bases to run around on. The teens had a great time and so did I, I am extremely blessed to get paid to relive a little bit of my child hood. My Mom visited us today, it was great seeing her. For how impatient I am with her sometimes I do really miss her and worry about her. That goes for my whole family, I cannot wait to blow up and get rich so I can do what I want, when I want and with who I want.

I remember when spring break was exactly what it said, a week long break. It is funny how you get older and this week comes along and it is nothing more then more work. I took the kids to Fort Warden this afternoon for a day trip, it was amazing. All of the bunkers were such a sight it made camp casey's switchboard look like a joke. We ran around all of the tunnels and rooms trying to scare each other and cracking jokes. I envy teenagers and there "live in the moment attitude," I remember being that age and it seemed like nothing mattered but having fun, and it seemed like time was standing still. Everything is brand new at that age, and you have no worries like bills and making more money. I miss not having pressure, I feel now all I have is pressure and responsibilities and I don't even have children yet. Easter is coming up and it is October and I's fifth year anniversary, since meeting her I have become the man that I have always wanted to be. My creativity is in its prime and I have never been as productive as now, the only problem now is finding the time for everything I want to do on top of starting a family. Someone once said all in good time, and I say there is not enough time. I remember when my brother Vince, James Atkins and I traveled to Bellingham to visit his ex, I must have been seventeen at the time. We traveled over to Canada to get some alcohol and bring it back to Bellingham. We got stopped at customs and low and behold they found the booze we were smuggling back, being that we were underage and scared to death the border patrol had the heart to turn us loose on just a warning. I look back at things I used to do and say WOW, I am extremely lucky that nothing bad happened to my friends and family and also to myself. Thank you God for taking it easy on us.
Luke Kisena Man what a year cannot believe it has almost been a year since I have used this journal. (blog) A lot have things have happened since the last time but I here are some highlights, life could not be better I got a great girl and I feel like I have officially grown up. From trying to buy our first piece of property to the minor back pains it is now sinking in I am getting older. I miss my family more and more everyday but I got to do what I got to do, Alec will be a senior next year and that is baffling. I am realizing how fast time really is going so I have been doing dirt (in a good way) so I can get ahead, I do still plan on being rich in this lifetime. It is just harder then I thought it would be. Got my first 4.0, published for the first time and am finally planning for the future. I love my girlfriend and family very much and am doing all of this for them to be proud. The memory I will end with is, I will never forget having to bail out of a second story window at Sue Hwangs house with Leif Westpestad, Chris Nyhus, Mark Bell and John Hamilton. Her dad was going crazy and it was really intense. We did all this without shoes, we had to make up a lie and say we were Sonny's friends so we could come back and get them. Shit is crazy that felt like not that long ago, It was th
Got to see my Mom and brother today, we went to Funtasia and played put put golf. My brother and I both worked there so it was crazy to see how much it had changed, also it was the first job I was fired from. It was really good to see the family and you also know who took down the number one spot in the put put match. It is crazy that my weekends now consist of doing homework, yard work, SNL, and spending time with the lady. I realize now that I should of got this school shit over with when I was younger, either way it is getting done. I have two memories, first is of my mother and I feeding duck's at a pond in Lynnwood WA, we drove by that park today and it made me think of that, it was very fun and a memory that is very vivid to me for some reason. I will never forget where that park is. Second, my brother and I were getting ourselves dizzy and then trying to wrestle, somehow I fell into the fireplace and had some third degree burns up my arms I do not remember crying and I think that I was so shocked that I could not feel the pain. I remember it very clearly but I do not recall any pain my dad took me to the doctor and I think he was more scared then me. Happy Mothers day Mom love ya.
I got an A on my first test back to school, it was pretty weird having the second highest score. I have not had that experience that often, kinda like it and got to admit it was not that hard. My brother is coming next weekend and it is Irrigation Festival ( the longest running festival in Washington State) so there will be plenty of things to get in. I get to see my family and that is starting to get rare due to all of the things that are on the plate. This is the year of all years sold my first painting, the return to Academics, my first art showing with THE OPEN GALLERY art team and my best mural yet in the making. I have also compiled a staggering amount of other art projects. I feel like I am finally catching my stride. I had a great weekend with October even though we did not make it to church, oops! Her nephews birthday was a lot of fun and the food was great. That saturday night our friend Rick did something epic it is called the Glock high five. Which consists of jumping in the air in a very eccentric way with a pistol in your hand hence the glock. It was halarious something you had to be there for but trust me it was great. The memory I thought of was the first time I hung out with Canyon Park kids, which happen to still be some of my best friends. It was Jake, Erica, Erin and I we met Chris, Seth, Jake R. and Dylan. I cannot remember ever meeting someone as funny as Chris, he was acting a fool strictly to entertain us and that is exactly what it was. I remember Jake R., Dylan and Seth all had cowboy boots on and being the little G that I was, I remember thinking what's up with the shit kickers yall ! Im pretty sure they still regret trying to start that fad. Saying all that that moment I will always remember, the day a strong, ruthless and powerful militia (Skyview) took an unorganized group of people (Canyon Park) under its wing.
Pressure has been a very positive thing in my life lately, it has allowed me to push myself to the limits and also opened my eyes to things I need to work on. I love everything I am accomplishing but I am also too involved in certain activities, school work and regular work. That real life issues are being neglected and its all due to pressure. The pressure of providing a better living, making up for lost time, being there for my family and friends ( which is nearly impossible due to location,) and most of all being there for the one that has always been there for me. Life is busy but I am evolving and finally doing the best I can and it is starting to show whether it be good grades or better artwork I can see a difference and I am looking at things in a whole new light. I remember back in the day when the only pressures we had was figuring out where we could hang out that weekend. I miss those times, they truly were carefree times I always try to have fun in any situation because that is when you don't care about the stresses in the world. Whether you are playing poker with friends or having a romantic dinner with your significant other you rarely worry about bills or getting a better car, you are happy and having fun that is what I think life is about. I am going to start ending these blogs with a memory because that is what a journal is really all about. In junior high Jake Davidson had some of the funniest episodes one that will always stand out in my mind is when another younger student was giving out high fives on the bleachers after an assembly. There were safety rails so you would not fall off the side, the kid giving high fives was a man child he was about 6'2 as a seventh grader. Jake comes around the corner, runs, jumps and proceeds to hang from this kids arm for about a good minute, like a monkey swinging from a vine. You could see the agony in the kids face because it was being smashed into the safety rail. I remember laughing extremely hard, in fact Im almost cracking up just thinking about it, Ian Johnson was at my side to witness one of the funniest things I have ever seen.
Just another day fixed my tires, but cant find my wallet. I feel that kind of lame things have happened to me lately, on the other side of things I have been studying a lot and am finally starting to feel like I am going to do well on the first test I will be taking on thursday in ten years. Weird for two reasons one, I have never really had this feeling because I never used to study and second, I have not taken a test in a decade. Played a lot of basketball at the club today with the kids and I gotta admit Im feeling pretty old, but I am still taking it to them and not being easy on them just because they are smaller and younger. Life is not always fair and if a couple of blocked shots might inspire them to try harder or step there game up, then we both win. I get the pleasure of throwing out huge swats and they learn that in life it is not always an easy lay in, sometimes you have to rise above and find a way to score. Ok, Ok huge swats is the main reason but I gotta have fun too !!!
Today is Easter and the fourth year anniversary of October and I's relationship, went to the sunrise service and had a burly breakfast ( Country Benedict.) It was great just like the first time I got to know her, and the first time I met Larry, her father. He was very nice to me the first time I met him even though I was a stranger and a lil under the influence. My brother Vince might be coming over with my nieces next weekend so I cant wait to see them, because I find myself missing family and friends more around the holidays. This blog represents the ending of a six hour study session between the two classes, probably the first time I have ever studied for six hours in one day. So in conclusion " four years babe we did it " and also I think photoshop is becoming a part of me, that program is the ISH
It is gonna be a short blog...... two things, first the Office t.v. show is awsome, Will Ferrel is doing great he is one of my favorite comedians. My favorite comedian right now though is Aziz Ansari, he is the truth. My type of comedian, I got a phone call from my best friend tonight and he told me a funny story about another friend that had some suspect behavior tonight. It is alright it is not the first time he has had suspect behavior. Reason being I miss my best friends, they make me truely laugh, I realize that I have not been truely laughing lately. I miss my friends every last one of them, even the ones that used to bother me. Luke Kisena
The other week our neighbors and also good friends conducted an experiment, or a contest if you will. The idea was to get tased from a taser gun and then there was a competition to see who could take it the longest. I finished in second to last because honestly, I did not want to do it anyway and I also did not want to be one of the only ones who did not participate. Everybody participated but it was Mateo who became victorious with a stunning 8 seconds, with October finishing second with about three to four seconds. The grimacing look on Mateo s face after that eight seconds insured me that I was not gonna ever or did I want to ever break that record. When I announced that I would do this none other then my own girlfriend shouted " I will do it," moral of the story is a relationship must be strong if you are willing to get tased by your significant other. Thanx babe !!!!!
