last day of vacation

Sitting at my house, just relaxing. It's sorta kinda nice outside, but windy and it rained outside this morning. The movie The Shining is playing on the television right now, and although I have seen this movie many times before, it is still very entertaining. Today is my last day of a 9 day vacation, and it's sad.

I went home to Traverse City to visit family and friends, and had a really good time. I was home for 6 days. That is the longest I have been home at one time for about 3 years. I went kayaking, hiking, a Dave Matthews Band concert, and out drinking with friends. It was a good time.

been slacking

Yes, I've been slacking the last couple days about writing a new post in my blog. It's not even that I have been super busy, it's just I have not even thought about writing anything worth down. This last weekend, I went on a mini trip. That trip will be explained on a later day to save the innocent.

I'm sitting in my living room right now, drinking an ice cold Corona beer and just enjoying life at the moment. It's these kind of nights that I prefer to have. Just sitting in my favorite chair, enjoying a cold beer, and relaxing the time to myself.

This picture really doesn't mean anything important or represent anything important in my life. It's just a photo of myself with Ryan in the background at a gas station. Any other time this photo would mean nothing, but I do think that this photo is awesome. I think this because it's just a fun little photo that explains the mood I was in that day. We went hiking with our friend Stephanie, (Not the roommate) and then enjoyed some home cooked chili. This hiking trip was way back in March. There was still snow on the ground.

I think this month is going to be crazy. I am going home to visit my parents and my sister Megan. I'm going to try to post as much as I can, but my parents do not have wireless, so, I'll have to go to a coffee house to get internet. I hate coffee houses.

Super excited: Part 2

So the season 1 finale of Glee was last night, and boy was it good. I kinda feel bad for admitting this, but I teared up at a couple points during the show. I think the writers of the show finally found their grove with the show and know the characters inside and out.

The only bad thing about the show is now I have to wait till fall time till season two starts back up.


In other news, there was an awesome storm today that included the thunder and all the trimmings. It's was really loud, and really awesome.

broke a new personal record today

Well, technically it was yesterday, but I finished an entire book in one day. And no, it was not a short-story or something like that. it was just short of 600 pages long. I read the New Moon book from the Twilight Saga. Yes, I am a male, but I figured that I should read the books before I put forth an opinion on the series. And not too surprising, I kind of like the books. Very easy to read, and fast books to read. The book I read yesterday, counting the breaks, took me about eleven hours to read.

And for the record, I am neither team Edward or Team Jacob. I'm Team Alice because she is hot.

Changing of the month


May is now officially behind us, and June greeted up with an amazing thunderstorm. Big rain drops, thunder and lightning, and a glorious sunset. Outside my window, the sun is just above the treeline. Golden streams fly across the silver sky, with big blue clouds trying to cover the sky. There is no wind, which makes the smell of fresh rain very noticeable. Anyone that knows me knows that I love the smell of rain and the smell of fresh cut grass. And what makes tonight even better is knowing that I have the next two days off from work. With any luck, the sun will be out and the temperature will stay around 78 degrees. That way I can stay at the beach and get a book done.
