Still Summer

so this weekend was pretty boss. it started off with making a trip down to the ilstu for adam and natalies birthday party. everything went smooth as butter and the best part was getting adam this gift.

its a bottle of vodka shaped into the form of a rifle. if you dont know, adam was big into drill team in high school so this was the perfect gift for him. the thing is that i dont know if he will ever drink it.... oh well.

that was the friday night and saturday morning. going against my original plans i decided to go with the willes, andy, jake, and kyle to lindseys house warming party in rockford. that too was pretty awesome. they have an actual house that comes out of a legit suburb so it was kinda odd bringing in good amounts of beer into her house while her old nieghbors were outside on their porches. classy. oh yea and wolfy brought Wa-shoo's which is basically bags but with washers. it was intense.

then today right when i get back from rockford burkle calls me up and asks if i want to hand out some flyers for the gala at the taste of chicago. im tired and sticky and definately not in the mood to go but hell. i do it anyways. ive never been to the Taste and i only have one beautiful and precious life so why not make it good. it was awesome. the gala graciously paid for the train ticket and a butt load of food to have at the taste and all i had to do was hand out flyers with burkle, aubert, and turk. it was a damn good day. but this week is going to suck. the gala is going to own my soul so im thinking i very well might just have to stay in this week and get some extra sleep.

this was definately the best weekend of the summer so far. hope all is well with everyone.

Perfect Summer Day

so today was the first day back from vacation in wisconsin, which was also awesome. but today is turning out to be perfect. biked to work for the first time this year and just flew. work was awesome too and my group and i at the beach just went off; sand castles, digging holes in the sand and then making pools with them, canoeing... a lot, playing hide and seek at the play ground, then at the rotary building i organized a huuuge hike around VA which was pretty legit. went to the Devils Pit and hiked around for a good 6-7 miles. the greatest thing about the hike too was that it nearly took up the whole day. just walking around experiencing freakin nature, man, and then boom, its 3 o'clock and its nearly time to go. then i biked home and cruized at a steady pace all the way to crystal castle where i played 6v6 sand vball for around 3 hours. just awesome.

this is how summer should be.

bummer dude

so the cubs are pretty much the best team in the mlb. i love it. in other news i fell off my bike a week ago while wearing sandals and scraped my left big toe. its hell. its summer and i cant go in water, sand, and i hobble around like a drunk gimp. actually i take that back. i did play vball 2 days ago but i wore a latex glove on my foot to keep out the dirt. it looked pretty risky.
-camp started last week and it has been awesome. been fishing, canoeing, all the good stuff. oh yea and we went to enchanted castle on thursday. i won a big squishy ball out of a claw machine. thug life.
-took a bike ride with kait around crystal lake yesterday. it was pretty sweet. i am still surprised at some of the houses that are in CL. some Hollywood movie set should come in and use some of these houses for a movie
-Wayne's world is hilarious
-showed a bunch of friends to the game Nurts. its been in the family for quite some time and now im happy that its been shared with some of my closest friends. its very competitive and makes you swear like a sailor
-next time your with someone and someone in a car either has an annoying muffler, a bass system as loud as hickeys, or screeches their tires by you just say "why do we need Menards? we have so many tools around here." its a good one.
