As We Go On..

Well, it has been a long time since I have been on here. Stuff towards the end of the summer, and then school starting has really kept me off of here. However, I don't consider summer over, or school started, until this has had a nice little managerie of pictures, because my camera never ever leaves me side pocket.

Hanging out at Kaitlin's house towards the end of Summer.

Mark's car after "breaking down" after Kaitlin's. Haha.

Driving around Lancaster.

Kara's wonderful artwork: Original magazine is on the right :-p

Well since just about everyone knows about it..

The beach with our group.

Aw..how cute..

Look at them birds..

Pokemon on the beach! Coolest Seniors alive..

Zack with his suave hair.

First day of school!

Moe..on the first day of school.

Positive parenting..with..Kara and Kevin!?

Summer was a really great time. But school is going really good this year. Business math makes up for all of the trauma that Advanced Math put me through, haha. And the year is starting so much better than last year was. This is going to be the greatest year ever. Now let's go spread the Asian peace.

"When rap music talks about sex, it makes it seem so skanky and slutty. But when metal talks about sex, it makes it sound evil and violent."

- Random conversation between me and Beth in the Media Center last year. Why I thought of it? Who knows..

Back In Black

Yep. That's right. In roughly a year from now, we will be off to college, off to earn a living, find a job, or do whatever it is that we will be doing for the rest of our lives. Next year we are on our own already. Realizing that alone makes life so much more precious, and something to never take for granted.

Switching gears though, this is not an entry of sadness, but rather of really fricken sweetness.

This summer has proved to be extremely eventful and different than last summer. Last summer was always The Summer for me. But this summer will probably take its place as the best summer ever. 

For the past week and a half or so, I have been relaxing in two areas of the country. The first area was at Avalon beach, with Kara's family. What a great time. We went to a place to paint like..ceramics, and we painted each others. Kara painted a fish for me, and I painted a fairy for her. lol, it was pretty random, but it was so much fun. When she first made the idea I wasn't quite sure, but when we started I knew it would be fun. We went to the beach, hung out in the house, played UNO and Scum so much we may never have to ever again..so many amazing memories, and of course tons and tons of pictures.

Knoebels can be summed up in one word. Hot. But two words will describe it better. Fricken hot. Seriously, with humidity, the radio said that it could reach temperatures of a hundred and ten degrees. Plus we were on a mountain, in a camper with no air conditioner. But Dwayne's, Leslie's, and Lovey's campers all had AC, so me and Kara spent as much time inside of them as possible. We rode on rides, and once again, made more great summer memories. This was Kara's first year along, and I think she did a great job. She isn't exactly the camper type, so I was really proud of her throughout the entire trip. Plus she was the new girl. Walks in the night, going on rides, acting out Cops, quoting South Park and the Simpsons to death, talking about new doors, and realizing once again that family is where it's at. My brother Kurt went to a funeral of a one of his friends, and he is being really serious about family lately, since this was his sixth friend to die. He has an idea to take me and Kris on a road trip sometime, which I actually think I would enjoy.

Anyway, so I am back. I had the time of my life, and to be honest it's weird not seeing Kara right now, haha. But I can not wait to see the group again. Beth, Mark, Kaitlin, Dan, Heidi, Josh..everybody. We just have to hang out soon.

And now for the pictures of the past week and a half.

A picture of the reflection in the rear view mirror, on the way to BJ's, like Costco, to pick up supplies for Knoebels with my family.

After getting ready the morning that Kara's dad would pick me up for the beach.

AVALON SIGN!

Random shot a few minutes before getting to the beach house.

Kara being..Kara. Haha, hilarious. :) We went on a bird watching tour, and this is one of five really funny pictures.

Making root beer floats late at night.

Fishy and Fairy.

Heh..she put my hair into a ponytail.

I love this picture.

Kara and Eric.

Erics friend Kyle after a blue slushie, or something. He's a cool guy.

Clowns just make everything more fun. Even plastic ones.

The Oreo to end all Oreo's. Comparable to the Ritz cracker from the beach last year.

What trip would be complete without mini-golf?

Tootsie on the way home after dropping off Kara.

Well..I thought that cloud looked like a dog, but people in my family can't seem to see it.

"So..Do you have a debit card?" - Zach Acosta Davis

This entry will definitely not be anything of epic length.

This morning, this early morning specially, is something I want to forget forever. No matter how stupid and careless it was for the people involved. And yeah, it still bothers me concerning a few of you.

Anyway.

I hit 70 mph coming out of Heidi's driveway. I'll get more sometime when it is in the middle of the day and I can actually see the road I'm driving on.

Me, Obed, and Zach slept over at my house. Ha, yeah I was there..hm. Obviously my IQ has dropped a lot of points because I only got three hours of sleep in the past day or more. I called off of work, which was very confusing. It involved  a lot of last minute phone calls, I almost had to work even though I had gotten no sleep at all. That would have sucked.

Today, Me, Zach, and Obed went to Exton and all we bought was an Iron Maiden t-shirt, and I bought it, so basically I don't know why we went, but it was hilarious. Those two and their shenanigans..But I definitely miss my sleep.

I am SO excited for the 24th, because the old WFCS crew is going to get together and it will just be a lot of fun.

Tomorrow and Sunday I have to work, and I am already dreading that.

But after that..

BEACH. FREAKIN BEACH. Oh it will be a great time. I am going to be with Kara and her family at the beach for two or three days, and then we are going to go to Knoebels, which is a campground in Elysburg, near Bloomsburg. I am looking forward to that a lot too because of the friends I have up there that I only get to see every year.

I'm tired of writing..so..yeeah.
