If you go to the beach and you don't like water, you might as well be going to the desert.

Man, my titles seem to be getting longer and longer. Oh well.

So, here is the promised blog. I can't promise that you will get anything out of this or even that it will be any, um, fun. But you guys will all still read it because you are obsessed with blogs. Freak.

Well, what a week let me tell you. Much has transpired within the past week and a half. Last Wed. I left for Jam camp and all those wonderful jr. highers made me laugh. A lot. Actually they came in just shy of first for the "who made Luke laugh the most" award. As usual, Matt Peterson took that one home. Here are just a few conversations that were typical Matt:

(Me, Pastor Phil and Matt were laying outside looking at the stars, Matt sees a shooting star)

Matt: Whoa! Did you see that shooting star?
Me: No, I guess it was a good one.
Matt: I looked like a comet, wait, what's the comets name? Hindenburg right?
Phil: Matt, that was a blimp that crashed early last century.
Matt: Well, I was close.

(Matt cooking burgers)

Matt: Man, it makes me happy when my burgers are girthy.

(on the bus ride home)

Matt: Man, I love the smell of gasoline
Luke: Gross
Matt: Oh come on Luke, how can you not like it? It's like "the man's smell to like".


Good old Matt. I'm sure there were others out there too but I can't remember them.

But Jam Camp was a great time for one and all. I know that God worked there and it is one of the coolest things to see kids worshiping God. Sometimes I don't think that i am making any difference, but that would be, again, focusing on myself. But it's when we focus on who God is in our lives that He uses us.

Anyways, back to stories. This one contained Matt but, really it's all about Joe, our Jap friend who we, in cabin 2 called, LA. (random commas ,,,)

This is before breakfast and Matt is taking a shower. Joe goes into our bathroom and even though he wasn't in our cabin it wasn't such an odd thing seeing as cabin 1 used our bathrooms to take their dumps. But anywho, I hear this:

Joe: Ahhhhhhh!!!! I'm scarred for life, I'm scarred for life!

(At this point Joe runs out of the bathroom)

You see, our showers didn't have shower curtains per se, but you had to walk around a corner to see anything, unfortunately for Joe, that's what he did.

His reasoning:

Me: Joe, didn't you hear the shower on?
Joe: Yeah, but I thought it was like one of those freaky movies where the shower is on just because.
Drew: Dude, you just saw my brother naked. That's sick.

About 7 minutes and 34 seconds later, Matt comes out. Laughing.

Matt: Where's Joe?
Drew: (says something I'm not going to repeat here)
Luke: I think he went to go cry himself to sleep. Did you see him walk in?
Matt: No, I was washing my hair.

Commence laughing by me, my brother Mark and Nathan. Not to mention that Matt had French braids and some other type of braid that Hannah would know and I would not. But all in all it was a great time.

However, this week has been great too. First of all, if you didn't know me and Cilla are dating by now, I officially ban you from this site because you are too inept to pick up on things. But yeah, I spent tons of time with her this week. Then I had work. Fun stuff.

So it's time again for people to start school and thus time again for me to wait to start school for another whole month. This may sound like a good thing but its really not. Last year was horrible waiting for stinking school to start. This year is a little more bearable because I'm not living on campus. But still, it sucks watching everyone go to school and there you are. Waiting for something to happen. What makes it worse is that my girlfriend leaves tomorrow.

But yes, all things will work out. And thus I'm done because I feel like crap.
