"a water fight" "a canoe" "be careful" and "a kiss good-bye"

Now for the update....

So I recoved fully from my wisdom teeth being cut out from my skull. I bounced back like a lil trooper. I guess that I was very funny considering that I was drugged and people video taped me...needless to say, I don't remember anything...

Well here we go...
I went back home Friday night after moving out of the dorms for the last time ever and moving into my new appartment. I was invited to go on a float trip and I couldn't pass this up! So, on Saturday I went to Columbia with my bud from high school, Jeremy. We dropped some stuff off at his appartment and went on to these 2 girls that were going to be riding down with us to the Bennett Springs area of Missouri for the float trip. To sum it all up, the 2 girls were very attractive and my first encounter with them invovled a water fight in their appartment...who could complain...right?...to set the story straight, they started the water fight with Jeremy and i wasn't going to let a brother get attacked by 2 girls...I came to the rescue and helped out...it was fun, they both ended up being put in the shower by Jeremy and I...don't worry kids, it was PG rated...

Moving on, we went to southwestern missouri for the float trip....it was amazing!!!! At one point we had 10 guys in one canoe before it began to take on water and then capsized. It was great. By the end of Sunday night, it felt like I knew some of the people there for a few years... Now a deeper side to this whole event, the group of people that went were from Campus Crusade from Mizzou. A group of Christians coming together and just having a good time. To be quite honest, there was more spiritual maturity there between the 20 of them than LCC has on its entire campus. It was amazing to see college students come together who live in the secular world all of the time and come together to form their own church. On the other hand, here at LCC, it seems that people escape the 'christian bubble' to go live in the secular world and experience it. I questioned my reason of being at LCC when I could be surrounded my the spiritual maturity of those elsewhere. This weekend was an eye-opener, and a much needed break away from lincoln.

In other news, monday, i packed everything that i would need to take with me to live in my new appartment in lincoln for the summer. I got to see many people that I wanted to see and visit before I'd leave Hannibal for the summer. I am reminded by my mothers last words that she always tells me no matter where i'm going or what i'm doing..."be careful"...be careful? I'm gonna be on the road for 3 weeks for a reality tv show....i don't know if careful is going to be in my vocab....i'll do my best though mom...

So around 5:30 PM Monday May 23rd, 2005, I kissed hannibal good-bye one last time before seeing the sun setting on the puke of a town as I left for Lincoln. This is gonna be one of the many 'firsts' that i have for this summer. First time not being at home for the summer. First time being single during the summer since high school (oh so long ago). First time doing anything away from home that didn't involve school. First time living in an appartment. First time working as a director of photography for a reality tv show. I could go on forever, but i don't want to.

i'm outa here....
