| It came and it went. Passed by like a new fad or a bad movie. Summer
seemed to start and then end, and somewhere in the "and then" I hauled
dirt with petey, went to some twins games, and worked at camp.
Pilrgrim Pines was great. I know that it was my job to be there for
kids and to help them, but a lot of the summer was me drawing closer to
God too. I think that I grew a lot and it was an impactful experiance.
I am excited, thrilled, scared, and worried about what is to come in
the next year or school. I know that work will be harder, and that i
have a ton more responsabilities this year. Hopefully the apartment
will encourage a bit more sleep and I can get more done. I hope being
in the apartment doesn't kill the social aspect of school. That is what
sustains me besides frisbee.
Some of my close friends won't be there this year, at least for a while
and i will miss them. I hope that they know they are loved wherever
they are.
Also I am coming into school with some new friends from camp and other
things and I hope that they mesh well with my old friends. Oh well, i
guess talking about it is pretty dumb, I am just going to have to
experiance it to see what happens.

| - NOT THIS CD, Actually a Live version of "Drugs Don't Work"
"Hey hey hey, slow down baby..."
Although that may be a Fat Albert Quote I feel that it has held true to
my life. I have been so busy and yet I seem to be accomplishing
nothing. As most would agree, frisbee is what my life has been
revolving on. I love the sport and everything about it, but I need to
get some diversity. I live in this beautiful city yet to little to I
get out and see it. I can't believe that i am almost halfway through
college. That makes me a bit frightened and sad. I love the times here.
I am so stoked to go to ecuador in May to see Lee. I miss him alot and
can't wait to hang out on the beaches of South America. I really hope
that this summer works out. I want to go to Squanto but I have been
really lax in getting my app in so I really hope that it works out.
Especially if Lee goes it will be rad. Jon-Erik, Zabel, Lee, Tim K.,
Sean nearby. If you don't mind shouting out to the big man for me I
would appreciate that.
Oh the big man, we haven't been talking enough. I have been trying to
deal with all this work and stress by myself instead of relying on HIM.
Ugh, gotta get my self in order. Well...drop me a line...otherwise I'll
be seeing ya

It feels great to be back at North Park. I miss all the people that have left for this semester but at the same time guys like erik, karl, nat, evan, scott, and of course all the ladies that came back. So I guess I can cope with the trade-off. My break was so good. Oh man did I need that or what? Towards the end of last semester I was getting so stressed out by all this crap, school, relationships with friends, and other things that have passed to give me a sense of overwhelming relief. I just feel like i was building up all this stuff and it was getting heavy, and then the new year came and it's like someone took it off my back to give me a break. Feels great.
I don't know about you but I did no work over break. I mean, I suppose it would have been nice to make some cash, but it was soooooo nice to just sleep and do nothing all day and not have people on your case about it. I think my parents knew I needed a rest cause they were so chill. And then of course the gracious miss lizzie let me use her car over break, which relieved some stress off my parents backs, so thanks lizzie. Oh and not to forget the awesome time I had at her place SNOWBOARDING! yeah it was great, I went down to Colorado and hit the slopes with the pros (lizzie and her brother and friends) it was unbelievable. It took some good bang ups to get me going but I caught on and actually enjoyed it alot. I was able to keep up pretty well too. Good times. Christmas and New years were fun, good family time. Oh and LEE time! got to see my good buddy for some time which was great. Missed him a lot. Well, I'm just ramblin' and I probably told all of you this when you talked to me in person, but I needed to write something. later... | | |

It's about time i got back at this thing. It's been one heck of a
month. Finals were pretty insane, I guess that's what happens when you
don't do anything all semester, but I survived. IM basketball has
started to roll and it's been a lot of fun. I've been having to do a
lot of thinking lately which has been tough. A close friend and I are
becoming distant and I don't know what to do about it. I love him to
death but I'm so often caught up in this world and things of it, that I
forget about the only thing that keeps me going. It's kinda funny, I was
listening to some Marley and I was hearing these crazy lyrics. I heard
No Woman, No Cry and there is a line that goes "..good friends we have,
oh, good friends we've lost, along the way..." I told myself that I
lost someone and that's all I heard of the song for the next few days
until tonight when I put it on again and he says a line later "
In this great future, you can't forget your past; So dry your tears, I
say..." Basically saying, I can't forget about this and try and chase it away.That's
love. I'm
not great with scriptures but I do know that somewhere in that huge
book it says something about how God is Love. I was sitting thinking
about life and stuff and that just hit me hard. It's like 5-6ish in the
morning on a tuesday night/ wednesday morning and I haven't gone to bed
yet.
Pete and Zirk and I stayed in Chicago for a few extra days with Erik A
and Rachel A and Angela Z, mooching off them and what not. It's been a
ton of fun. We watched the entire season 3 of 24, that was pretty
freaking sweet. I'm trying to learn guitar but it's been a slow road.
It's really hard to sit down and play when I can't really jam yet.
Practice practice practice I know already...Oh well, pretty stoked
about getting home and seeing the fam and my buddy Lee who's been gone
for so long in Ecuador. Also I'm going to Colorado after New Years to
kick around some powder which is going to be a lot of fun I hope. Well,
I think it's time I got a few winks in...
