Funny thought

Isn't it kind of funny the difference between ages.  These days some boys wear their pants super low, some much to low for anyone's taste, and some old men wear their pants pulled up super high. I think both problems have something to do with plumbers, one generation idealizes them, the other doesn't want to be correlated with them.

Quote of the Day

"Imagination is not only the uniquely human capacity to envision that which is not, and therefore the fount of all invention and innovation. In its arguably most transformative and revelatory capacity, it is the power to that enables us to empathize with humans whose experiences we have never shared."

A List of 3 Things I Suggest You Should Never Do

1. Wash and wax a large motor home, believe me it is worse than it sounds
2. Go on a hike that goes through a river that is surprisingly deep, if you are to light, you tend to float away, especially if you don't have a large group hiking through linking arms.
3. Pull a prank with your friends that makes the camp of kids your with believe that you're extremely sick and that it might be contagious.  The kids who were pranked tend to give you an evil eye and think of scary ways of revenge; namely stealing, freezing, and roasting clothing items or threatening to soak you with water and itching powder while you sleep.  Though sometimes it may be worth it.   ;)

Family Camp

Earlier this week I got back from camping with my family, including some extended family.  Being away from the beach, trees, and mountains.  I am really disappointed that it is over.  Being there was just sooooo relaxing. not to mention my resident high school starts up next week.  My summer is ending and it feels like it just barely began, excuse the cliche there.  My only comfort is that I will be able to see all my friends again.

Quote of the Day

"Ah, summer, what power you have to make us suffer and like it."
             -Russell Baker

Summer, when people love to go lay out in blistering heat and schedule things for every minute or schedule nothing at all.

Energizing Nature

The other day I found myself in a cherry orchard and decided that, as I headed down it to get my lunch, that I would run down through most of the orchard.  it felt soooo good.  I was able to breathe in that amazing smell of cherries, trees, leaves, and grass (or nature at its best).  With every breathe it was exhilarating.  I just wanted to run forever, and this coming from someone who doesn't enjoy running.  This type of air is so much better and cleansing than air you would find in a town or large city.  I absolutely love it!
