So, I just decided that I'd like to update this again... I think. I haven't done it in some time now, and as of this moment, I'm not going to attempt to put down what is going on in my life. Nay, I merely want to extend the idea of coming back to xanga and updating this archaic web blog.

I also bought a typewriter.

so here I sit [at 4:00 in the morning] the night before camp officially starts. In exactly 12 hours I will be greeting my first week of high school guys, whom I will have the privelage [challenge] to councel for 5 days and 4 nights of Camp Carl fun. In other words, pray for me.

I am honestly somewhat nervous about it. I wasn't at all nervous last year at this time, preparing to counsel elementry kids. Maybe I didn't know what I was getting into; maybe it has to do with high school guys actually having an opinion on things and music and sports and humor and food and philosophy and God and humanity. I pray that I'll point in the right direction this week [up].

I've got a great cabin of counselors; Heath, Isaiah, and I will be leading Band of Brothers. I'm excited for that =)

although I will certainly miss the Unit.

On a side note, I dislike it when phones don't recieve voicemail messages that I send and when my phone doesn't recieve important texts. [lame]

ok, well now that I got that out of my system, here are some things I saw driving home from camp yesterday:

p.s. I'm also planning on buying a banjo in the next month or so. anyone out there know anything about different makers and quality? yeah right.

how much of what we do is pointless?

lately i've been feeling pointless; that's not what i want.
