Things I have learned

Well then...there once was a boy gone away from society for 4 straight days.
He was once again placed into the stir of everyday city life and wondered where all the cowboys had gone. Paula Cole was there with her arms wide open, although Scott Stapp and the rest of Creed were stranded on the distant island of Asia Minor.

--OK -- this is NOT where I want this e-mail to go -- :)

Anyways, I'll make this one fun but I'll have to cut down on the insanity a couple notches. If you live in a cave, or have been away from your computer for the last few days, I'll break the news to you now -- I went camping this weekend for 4 days. FOUR DAYS!!! That's 4 days in the middle of nowhere stranded with no amenities of the usual lifestyle I lead. That meant -- NO ZA couch, ZA computer network (although I was able to bring my laptop :), NO um...that's about it.

Although being away certainly has it's upsides. It feels great just to get away from everything for awhile and just relax and practice some spiritual exercises. I did a lot of golfing too. A LOT of golfing. It's fine for the first 3 or 4 hours everyday until the allergies really start to kick in.
Then the constant itching of the poison ivy really gets to you and you're left swinging a 9-iron with nothing to think about except how far away the medicine cabinet is. Do not fear -- stink is here. She likes it out there because she can find lots of animal friends to play with and eat.

I like to eat too. I had lots and lots and LOTS and lots of chicken. It seemed like chicken was EVERYWHERE. And then there was the ice cream shop.
I ate a lot of ice cream too. Now I am fat. Actually, I'm lucky if I weigh 140 but still. Then there's always the heaping bowls of Kellog's Sugar corn POPS every morning. Along with mother's homemade pancakes. PANCAKES IS READY!

When I was tired I slept. When I was bored I listened to music or watched Family Guy or South Park episodes. My bro wanted to watch Beavis and Butthead but I wasn't able to burn them onto CD in time before we left. Oh well. I tried to watch Gladiator but the CD didn't work in this laptop. Oh well. Oh yeah -- I attempted fishing too, but didn't get a bite except for when I first dropped the pole in. Just my luck. Grr.

Golf carts are fun to ride, as well as mopeds and cushmans. I should become a professional golf cart driver or something. It could be fun. I also played Final Fantasy 2 on ZSNES. I probably should have written something cool but I never had the need to. Whatever. I just really enjoyed everything and am glad to be back after such a long time.
