And the livins easy...

Apologies for the lack of updates, but it is summer. Expect few and far between posts during the next few months. I'm working at a Christian Summer Camp so I'll be busy busy busy.

In the meantime I suggest five things that can fill your time with excellence.

-Read "The Neverending Story" It is much better than the lousy movie.
-Play Flash games on Kongregate.com I suggest 3D logic if you enjoy feeling brilliant.
-Watch IRONMAN not Indiana Jones. I'm sorry Indy but you just got pwned by Tony Stark.
-Listen to the new Coldplay singles until the new album comes out.
-Bake a cake.

He had great wealth.

I've been thinking a lot about materialism and how we spend our money.

For the past two years I've been your generic broke college student. The most expensive thing I've bought myself was my Anatomy book. Pretty lame buy huh? But having no money to go out all the time or buy the newest technological gadget has helped bring me a fresh perspective.

There are so many things that we just don't need, yet we buy. We waste money on buying movies, games, clothes, etc.. Aren't there things out there that are more important for us to use our money on instead of a new phone, when we already have a phone? How do we justify some purchases when some people don't even have a meal in their bellies? I guess we, myself included, just ignore those in need and spend our money anyhow. I dunno. This issue is wrecking me.

Don't get me wrong though. Some things are necessary to buy, such as a ticket to the new Indiana Jones movie.

A Figment of the Night

We were inside the house visiting an old friend. My buddy and I were being absolutely ridiculous causing our host to let out an everlasting laugh. After touring the home, we sat at the kitchen table and reminisced about the past. It was great to talk about the good times we used to have when we all lived closer. As we were talking I happened to look out the window towards the beach. I kid you not, out in the ocean there were two games of water polo being played. They started the game by having jet skis make a small whirlwind in the middle of their "court." The players had their caps on and were making quick short passes. My ears were on the conversation inside the house, but my eyes were on the game. As if the scene wasn't wild enough a killer whale broke through the surface of the water. At this point, I jumped up and half-shouted out causing my friends to look out the window too. The Killer whale started to attack some of the players and they all scattered as they made a quick break towards the beach.


I woke up at 5 in the morning really sweaty and with a beating heart.

Almost There.

Summer for me hits in one week.

Camp, BBQs, Camping, Sunburns, Surf and all smiles. It's here everybody. We've made it. It is time to reflect on the past months and laugh at all the time spent in classrooms and work.

I can't decide if the first thing I want to do to celebrate the summer is by having an extended time of clapping or have a good shout.

Charging Rhinoceros Always Wins.

Padres game tonight.

It's going to be team against team in an ole fashioned game of America's favorite past time. I'll be in the stands waving and cheering for a team I have no ties to other than I live in the city that supports them. Before the game starts the pitcher will look me in the eyes and acknowledge my presence with a slight nod. Then as he winds up for a 90 mile per hour fastball Thomas Kinkade will parachute out of the sky tossing his paintings to the crowd. Everybody will be screaming with excitement as he lands in the outfield and promptly paints a landscape canvas that makes Picasso's art look like sawdust. Once completed he'll crank up the stadium music and we'll all dance to a meditative Enya mix. It won't be the stomp your feet kind of dancing, more like the emotional swaying type.

A good night awaits me.
