I just got back from dinner with my daddy and mommy and grandma... for my dady's bday. House of hughes for ribs. they had some insanely awesome ribs and great b-b-q sauce... thus the title.
On a much much MUCH sadder note, Owasippe Scout Reservation is gone... Its
a really sad day and is like part of the past, present, and future of mine and many other young boy's lives' have been hastily snatched from them. Sure, i still have the memories, such as the campfires, the numerous times singing songs, preparing skits, preforming skits, nights on silversides, overnight horseback riding, cooking steaks, fishing hours and hours of fishing, sleeping in the tents that one night will/did flood and we slept on picnic tables under the dinning fly, sleeping around the fires in a chair and sleeping bag, THE HOURS OF COMICAL MAD LIBS, just talking and hanging out with the older "cool" kids by the fire. I'm going to miss all of these things, sure theres other camps, but not like this, owasippe wasn't a camp... it was a seperate "city" for hundreds and hundreds of boys with quite a few things in common. im gunna miss the shooting, the archery, the hikes up cardiac and suicide hill, and then the races down, the swimming test in 40 degree water, watching certain idiots flip over a boat while one moron loses his new $300 glasses, beast of the week, countless hours of frisbee and frisbee golf, football, da ladies, the food, the "almost food", and the "we package it and call it food and then feed it to the kids" food, and most of all just the stayin up til 1 or 2 in the morning getting to know the adults and all or most of the kids more. But i must say one thing that i will and already do miss about owasippe is knowing that after this year, i will never be up there hangin out and gettin to know my brother anymore.
Sure, me and Roger are closer then most, but up there, it was different. Though maybe we didnt hang out all the time, we alwayse knew what the other was doing, and when we were together it wasnt just like hey, whats up? we really talked we got really close... about as close as two brothers can get and still be allowd in the scouts. But i'm afraid thats nomore. owasippe's gone, it was sold to a "devoloper" if i recall correctly, for almost 20 million dollars. All i can say is, this really really sucks, and honestly, im sad... i think im gunna go cry...(not really, but i might anyway)

To side note.... do me a favor since other people have done it and asked... answer this for me.
If you woke up and I was in bed with you, what would be your first thought?
(Now post this in your LJ and find out what mine would be....)
Thanks for listening... keep it real dawgs!
