Woo Hoo!! Summer is here!!

And I got rid of my son for the weekend already! The kid got to go to Vegas! Lucky duck.

What are you guys doing this summer? I leave in one week for a vacation without kids or spouse. 12 whole days... I'm gonna have so much fun.... :)

Where are you going?

I have to move this summer and start my new job, I hate moving, especially when you have to take a ferry. Atleast I'll be able to start making good money and get myself ahead.

This summer I'll probably just go to different lakes and rivers and do all sorts of fun stuff, I'm camping in a pretty good spot around here next week, it's looking good so far with 3 guys and 3 girls.

I'm headed off to Loisiana to see my best friend. Haven't seen her in two years and she moved there 10 years ago.

We're going horseback riding, she's gonna teach me to sail, skeet shoot, take me New Orleans, Avery Island and where ever else I want to go and whatever I want to do. She'll have limited time, but I'll take whatever I get. :-) She's off the one whole weekend I'm there. YAY! Fourth of July weekend too!!!

My foot is gonna kill me by the time I get back, but that's okay, the MRI is scheduled three days after I get home. It'll be nice and swollen for them...lol.

I haven't road a horse in way too long, I should go on a trail ride this summer I love horses.

What happened to your foot?

Well, my summer philosophy class starts today and will last 6 weeks, from 4pm-6pm M-Th; while I work from 7am-2pm M-Th. In seven weeks I’ve been invited to represent my division for the Salvation Army’s national evangelical seminar for 2.5 weeks in Glen Eyre Colorado in a castle; it’s pretty much an intensive workshop/class time to learn and grow from, so I’m looking forward to that. Also I’m starting up the college bible study at the beach this week again... during the summer I’ll be at the beach every Sunday evening gathered around a huge beach fire and all of my students, which is always a blast. Then of course all of my free time in between will be breaking down my body at the gym and reading as much as I can. True meaning and passion is found in theology.

My summer is consisting of working like a dog every night from 11PM to 7:30 AM, and sleeping all day. Somebody please kill me.

I bought a horse last Saturday, and I just joined this trailtrotter program. It's where you take the horse to ride on as many Florida state trails as you can. We're going on the first one on Friday night. I hear that riding in the woods under the moon is very surreal.

I'd say romantic.

I can't wait to go horseback riding. I haven't been on a horse in a very long time.

I'd rather ride a bull than a horse...I never understood why people long to ride horses so much; I've ridden one before and didn't think too much of it, actually thought it was kind of boring.

i rode a horse when i was 8 and it totally ****in traumatized me. we were riding in the mountains right along the top of this like 1,500 foot cliff. i then realize that my life is in the hands (or hoofs) of this dumb animal. that totally freaked me out.

plus it was just uncomfortable. same w/ elephant riding.

I wanna a ****ng donkey. **** horses.

Eeyore was the only Disney character i ever liked. Slipknot made a great song about him too \m/

Okay I got to say it. I don’t like riding horses or any other damn animal whose spine is going to hit my balls every time is takes a step down. I understand why women like to ride horses so much because they like the ruff massage between their legs, THAT’S why it’s romantic! No thanks. At least with bull riding the dude wears a cup, and the only time I strap on a cup is when I’m going to get a nice little adrenaline rush and humor my testosterone a little bit and kick some ass! To a man’s balls, to ride a horse is to his detriment; for a woman to ride a horse is to her benefit; I never understood “men” who like that crap unless they were pretty boys who tried to make their voice higher for the soul purpose of increasing their chances to pick up on other guys!

If the world were a logical place, men would ride sidesaddle.

HAHAHA!!! You guys would never make it as a cowboy! I bet you never played cowboys and indians as kids. :p

You could get one of those confederate civil war era saddles, where the buys just sort of hang there..

Or I could just buy a car and sit in a nice soft seat.

I bet you never played cowboys and indians as kids. :p

**** no. i played army. we'd hide in bushes, jump out, and bounce pre-mature pinecones off eachother's heads.

LMAO!!! When Jim was in high school and on the cross country team, they'd get into date wars...they throw dates at each other. He said they HURT!

pinecones draw blood almost everytime. this one dude Jason (who was a total ***** btw) used to climb on his roof and act as sniper. my buddy Sal taxed him right on the forehead one day. Jason falls and ROLLS off the roof and falls to the ground. he's got both hands covering his face and is sobbing frantically.

so after we were done laughing at him we all started kickin him while he was still on the ground. there were no room for ******* when it came to pinecone wars.

Damn, you were a mean little f*****, weren't you?

I am almost blind from my right eye thanks to those wars. Except that in my hood we used stones and sticks. True story.

Damn, you were a mean little f*****, weren't you? weren't tryin to be mean. we certainly didn't realized that we were doin anything wrong. it was just how we played.

the best was when we discovered the use of the waterballoon Winger. remember those? those rubber waterballoon launchers where 2 people held it in place and the 3rd person pulled back and launched. pinecones would come outta those ****ers at bullet speed.

course you had a tough time honing in a target so nobody ever got hit. didn't mean we couldn't launch em into traffic though...

How old were you?

I guess that's why my son and I have trouble understanding each other. I don't always "get" boys. Yesterday, I sent him outside to play. I let him and his friend go into the area behind our house. Desert like. I just said carry a big stick. The snakes are plentiful and pretty much shoved him out the door. He came home after 30 min. He needs to go out and be a boy dammit.

i played outside from age 3-15. the pinecone era was the last 4 years.
