Hey everybody. I havent updated in God knows how long. summer is going good, especially with swim over. since swim has been over Ive been all over the place. nate rented a cape house for a week, so I chilled there, since it was so close. it was me, nate, kevin, chris came for a few days, and so did ryan kok. nina, ayanna, and jessica came down for a day, so that was nice :). anyway, dan went to europe too. he had a drinking streak of like fifteen days. the trip was only like twelve. he brought me back a sweatshirt that said italia on it, its pretty sweet.
Axion811: dude have you railed your girl yet?
oh, lines, how we need to hand out.
the answer to that is no by the way haha.
I went to see the "LAST DISPATCH" documentary in boston with nate, nates mom, and nina. it was an amazing movie. then after we were walking out, I saw emily callahan, and she told me to come back the next day for the autograph signing. I wasnt going too, but then we met Braddigan, and he was so cool. I was all "we play your music in coffee shops" and hes just like "wow, thats really an honor." it was awsome. so me, nate and chris got up at five in the morning the next day and went to the train station and went back to the Somerville Theater. we got there around seven, and took a place in line. I had my little djembe with me, and chris brought his acoustic because mine was at the cape, but his had no strings. we thought we could buy some there, but it was sunday so the store was closed. anyway, we ended up jamming with a good handful of kids. like six of them were from buffalo. there was like nine kids playing guitar, one kid playing bongos, then this crazy guy came over and played bongos, then he got a big djembe, the same one that I have, only the other one (if that makes sense. I have two, I brought the little one, he had the big one) and we played and there was like two hundred people singing along. Ive been looking for a tape online of it because one of the guys that worked for dispatch taped us. after like three and a half hours, we finally met them. they were as cool as I imagined, wicked laid back and such. they all signed a poster you had to buy that went to the elias fund, and you were allowed one other thing, so I had them sign my drum, and they were all so excited to do it. Chad wrote "To Greg- Slap on the funky beat- Chetro" Pete wrote "Yeah to the noise Pete Francis," and Braddigan wrote "make your noise brudda" and then drew a little palm tree with a guy under it. THAT was amazing. then we spent the rest of the day in Fanuel Hall.
A few days later I went up to jessica's new hampshire house for three days with nate. nina and ayanna were only there for one night that I was there. it was so fun. the first day we took a gondola up to the top of this mountain and went through all these caves, which was really cool. then we went swimming in the river. nate and I saw this huge rock across the river so we swam across, and after one of the guys that lived around there jumped off, so did I. it was so fun. it was only like 12 feet maybe, but it was still fun. then we went home, had a fire and such, watched cruel intentions, and went to bed. nina and ayanna left the next morning. so nate, jessica, and I went kayaking down the river. it was cool because there were rapids and stuff. I flipped over, because Im a dumbass. it was funny though. and before we could finish getting to where we were going, it started pouring and thunder and lightning-ing, so we had to like rush out the water and run down railroad tracks (smart, huh?) and fine nate and jessica's moms. were all still alive though, so its okay. we didnt do much the rest of the day. just went back to the river and swam around there. then the next day we rode bikes into town to the candy store and stuff, then we played minigolf, and jessica beat me by like two, cause shes cheap and I should have had a hole-in-one. oh well. then we drove home, which took like three and a half hours. did you know that at KFC in new hampshire they give you packets of margerine for your biscuit? because I didnt. eventually we got home, and I didnt do anything at all. my parents were still down the cape so it was just dan and I. Tim came over and we went to the grocery store and then they just hung out at our house, which was quite the change.
The next day I went over Micheal Jones Parry's house. I hadnt seen him since swim ended. it was me, jayson, and bernie. we just hung around, threw the fris around, and then the next morning we had to wake up at 5:30. we were all going to Block Island. so we got on the ferry at like eight, and got into the house by nine thirty. then we took like a twelve mile bikeride over like half the island. then we went to the beach, which was really nice by the way, and then rode our bikes home. then we all attempted to read our summer reading books but me, jayson, and brad fell asleep. we ate dinner and what not, played a little poker, then went to sleep. the next morning we took another bike ride to the northern lighthouse and back, which was also like ten miles. then we went to the beach again, etc etc. we basically went to the beach for the whole day everyday after that. and no more bike riding. I finished one of my summer reading books, The Gospel According to Larry. it actually was really good, and I read it in three days. thursday night, we mixed up and went into town. I bought gifts for my mom, and my love. jayson got a palm reading, which was total bullshit, and then we walked around. on friday, Robbie Quigley came, which I was so excited about, because I hadnt seen quigley in soo long, and we went to the beach again. the waves were so big. friday afternoon jayson and I got on the ferry and met my mom at Point Judith and came home. jayson and lysa are doing the falmouth road race.
Last night nina came over and we just watched tv, and then dan took her home around eleven. I woke up at like six thirty, and then my mom and I came down the cape, which is where I am now. I hope to come home either tomorrow night or teusday because dan has some orientation thing for college so I think either my mom or some of his friends are going to drive him up to Northeastern. I hope its my mom. :/
