Nothing To Say, But I Had To Say Something.

Only two more weeks of Math! Thank God.

I miss a girl. Not sure if she feels the same.

One More Time

In my last post, I mentioned that I would write a review on "The Dark Knight." Well, I think I am going to have to see it ONE MORE TIME before I do. The story is so complex, and I want to get everything right.

With that said, I better see it again soon before I forget the things I already know.

This is all of course just one bad excuse for me to see the film for a third time.

I'm pathetic.

"Madness is a lot like gravity. All you need is a little push."

"The Dark Knight" is a Masterpiece. I am going to go see it again tonight, then will try my best to write an in depth review tomorrow.

I'm back in Tualatin at the moment with a whole lot of nothing to do until my friends get off work.
I suppose I'll go visit Grandma and Grandpa for a bit. They'll like that :)

"The Awesome Spot" & Plancakes. Yes... Plancakes.


At the beginning of the week, Mo and I made plans to take a day trip to Florence over the weekend before both of our schedules became even busier than they already are. Later in the week we recruited Jeff & Dennis to join in on the adventure.

I really wanted to take them to Honeyman State Park. I used to go there quite a few times when I was just a wee lad. My Dad would usually take my Brother and I for a boys weekend at least every other year or so from when I was about 4 years old up until around the time I was in middle school. Honeyman is about 2 miles from the coast and is right on Woahink Lake. There are about 2 miles of dunes that stretch from the lake all the way to the ocean. half of the lake is surrounded by tunes that run straight down into the water, and the other half is lined with a beautiful coastal forest.

As soon as we got into town we rented some sandboards to take out onto the dunes. I'm a pretty horrible snowboarder, so needless to say, I wasn't all that great of a sandboarder either. It was still pretty fun though. The majority of the afternoon consisted of us swimming in the lake (which was surprisingly refreshing). We made some new friends who about about 5 and 3 years old who probably made more use out of our boards than we did. We built a little ramp in front of the lake took a bunch of pictures which turned out hilarious.

For lunch we naturally hit up Mo's, in Old Town Florence. Dennis and Mo probably consumed about 20 saltines each before we even ordered our food. Unfortunately, by the time we finished out lunch and got back to Honeyman, the wind had really picked up. While we were gone, some dudes built a huge mound by the lake that was about 8 feet tall and were jumping off of it. I had to try it in spite of the chilliness & was glad I did. We didn't stay much longer and instead decided to hit up another spot my Dad used to take us.

There is a really cool trail at a place called Sutton Creak camp ground that leads you through about half a mile of rolling dunes before you get the the ocean. Let's just say that bear Gryll's has nothing on us. It was so windy that the sand literally stung any part of our body that wasn't clothed. I felt kind of bad for leading the guys out there but it was still pretty cool in a way.

We finished the trip up with some ice cream from BJ's where we were served by what seemed to be the only good looking girls in Florence.

Now it's back to reality. I need to do some maths before I think of something else that will delay me from doing homework!

"Enough With the Fat Lady! You're Obsessed With the Fat Lady!"



About 20 minutes ago, as a result of absolute boredom, I decided to google my name and see what came up. In the midsts of a bunch of band crap, a link to my first livejournal page was listed! I started that page when I was still in high school. I spent a good amount of time laughing and cringing at some of the things I said. One post I came across however made me realize how far I've come since those days.

I wrote " I don't belong here. I need to climb higher peaks, swim wider oceans, eat bigger hamburgers."

Looking back on the past year especially, I can say that I have climbed higher peaks, swam wider oceans, and have definitely ate some large hamburgers (figuratively speaking of course... except for the part about the hamburgers).

Summer has been nice so far. I finally got a job lined up at Cafe Yumm which I will be balancing with a math and health class. We have a small mice problem at the house which is kind of weezing my my gig. At least it's not rats. We had an amazing 4th of July which included a nice little hike in the morning, a visit from Gary, a tasty BBQ at Mr. Andrew Plambek's house, and to finish it off, a grand screening of independence day!

Mo and I are delving in to a pretty rigorous workout program which will hopefully result in us being able to single handedly take back Prussia and reform the once great German state.

... then maybe I'll help him take back Texas for the Mexicans or something.
