Camping


So I am off for another adventure, I am going camping with the Boy Scouts. I know sounds kind of lame but here is the deal... I am basically going to sleep in a chair all day, then at night sit next to a camp fire then sleep more at night, and of course I will be eating the whole time, so it works out great. I might get my lazy ass up and go to an activity like basketry or something, or go to the shooting range and bust a gap in some loud mouth little kid, only the future will know.
It's gonna be nice with no phone, tv, loud annoying P.A. kids tap dancing over our heads at 3 in the morning. Im taking a book and I might end up reading it. So you wont here from me until saturday, I'm taking the iPhone but I probably wont have service, but if I do I'll post a blog or something. Well lets hope I don't fall down the mountain or get eaten by a bear, but I should be fine, this ain't my first rodeo. See ya saturday.

The iPhone Show

So the internet at school is down, lame. It won't be up till like Thursday, the IT nerds are probably messing around with nerd things. So know I explore the wonderful world wide web on my wonderful iPhone. Its no big deal, I just miss a keyboard, or a full size screen or aim and basically a whole computer. Still the iPhone rocks more than other phones. So Im only posting important things since I am somewhat limited. Ohh and Went, your charger is on the way.

Friday The Fucking 13th, and Black Cats


So today I head out for my ride and this black cat runs out in front of me.  I was wondering if this meant that I was gonna have bad luck now.  So as Im riding I kept thinking about bad luck and all that superstition crap.  I decided to check out some gravel called upper crab orchard, turns out its doesn't lead anywhere.  So halfway on the gravel road I get a flat, lame, so I get off to fix it.  As Im fixing it a big wasp starts gettin' all up in my shit and trying to sting me.  He gave up and flew away after bothering me for 5 min.  As I am fixing my flat a house starts moving up the road towards me, Yes, a house!  I guess they were moving a house to its new lot or something.  So I basically have no place to move, Im already in a ditch basically, so the dude driving the house squeezed by without making me go smush.  So i fix the flat and I decide to go home since my tire was pretty low.  Then as I'm going down Valle Cruisis back towards school these two skank ass ho's are walking in the middle of the raod, swingin' their bags and shit.  So I'm going like 35+ and just buzz right by em.  They jump and start screaming, that made my day.  O and also, when we were riding down to Wily's to eat I almost crashed... don't ask why I almost did, I have no clue.  
I don't have a meal plan for the summer because they don't offer one, lame.  Rebecca gets free food for being a summer R.A. and what not, so we go to Wily's and she pretends like she is getting all this food but we really split it.  Ms. Jenny hooks us up like that.  But the dude that runs the cafe and Wily's was there tonight so Ms. Jenny couldn't hook us up, mondo lame.  So we had to spend money, again, which is extremly scarce.  So thanks again Friday the 13th and you damn black cat.
Tonight Rebecca and I went to a Contra dance, if you don't know what that is I shall explain.  It takes place in a Barn and some fat old sweaty guy yells commands at you, you dance with your partner and a "neighbor" and you swing people around to the commands.  It's really fun, cept when you end up dancing with someone that has no clue what they are doing and they end up screwing everything.  It's also fun to see the old people that have been doing it since the first Ice Age and they get really pissed at people that screw around.  All in all it is a real sweet deal, check em out next time your in B.E.
So other than that nothing much to report.  Rebecca and I are going to Hampton Trails to check out some new jersey's and stuff for her.  I've only been there once but I heard the dude gives killer deals, which rocks since I have $30 to my name.  Which reminds me, if you want to contribute to the Feed Sean fun, my P.O. Box is 3307 if you want to make a small donation.  I don't know the schools address but you can look it up.  
Till the next time.

First Day of Class




  So yesterday was the first day of my summer class, Photography and Feature Writing.  Dr. Joslin hikes our asses up these mountains and we have take pictures and write articles about them, it's pretty sweet except its from 8 am to 5 pm, we hiked up Roan MTN today and im pretty tired.  Im excited though because  I have never used a real camera and this is my first photography class.  We walked around campus yesterday and took pictures of random things.  I'm going to take a nap now cause the hike was rather long/hard.  I uploaded some of my favorite pictures and more are to come, enjoy!
