I was unaware that Adam Resh was in a band.....not to mention the shirt.

Just FYI

If you eat food you can still get HIV.

Seriously....

...baffled

I can't make up my mind if this is an improvement from the Chinese or a step back...it comes down to sex vs. drugs.
Sex is Prime Cause of China's HIV

aaahh!!! real monsters

On days and nights that I am super bored I really wish that they would just bring back cartoons like this one.

Kessel and I went fishing today.

He wanted to catch a swordfish.

He did not.

He in fact did not catch anything...except his own minnow, over and over and over.

Maybe next time kessel.

I have to say that I have enjoyed the fact that I do not have to go into work until 3pm today. Don't get me wrong I love working at camps and I love waking up in the morning knowing that it's going to be a long day of playing to get paid. But there is just something so enjoyable about not having to set an alarm waking up to have time to do what you need to get done before heading off for work.

On another note yesterday was my first day back at the gas station and it was pretty fun, compared to working with at risk youth it was a breeze. My mom actually stopped me to say that she was glad I was having fun...it was purely sarcasm on her part. I just assume that they forgot what fun was at the station while I was gone . There are so many complaints about other staff and things not getting done. When you work at camps I feel like you get a work ethic that is second to none instilled in your mind. Working at camp is not like having just one job but about ten all at the same time, you learn to manage your time and multi task.

Being back in Fenton has it's ups and downs but so far so good, if anyone wants to come see me and play on the lake at my parents before school starts and the weather turns let me know.

Crossroads Summer

Bad Boys, Bad Boys...Watcha gonna do...

So my summer working with at risk youth has come to a completion. I want to say that it was probably the most difficult thing I have ever done yet the most rewarding at the same time.

The youth that are court ordered to be there are just kids, they have made some bad choices but they are just kids....kids that will tell you that they are going to kill you but kids none the less.

The weeks of youth assistance were amazing I had 20 campers the first week and 25 the second and the second week most of the were returning campers from the first week, I am now a true believer in two week camp sessions making all the difference for the kids. The bonds that were made between campers and staff alike in those two weeks were wonderful to watch. I laughed I yelled, I whispered, I listened, and I cried those kids got to me. Most importantly I made a difference, to hear a mom on the end of the second week tell me that her son really looks up to me and that he needs a positive male role model that was huge.

So Camp Adventure = Success

Oh and I'm back to blogging as well!
