Once You Have Slept On Andros... You'll Never Be Quite The Same.
Once you have slept on Andros
You'll never be quite the same;
You may look as you looked the day before
And go by the same name.
You may rush about in street and shop;
You may relax at school or home,
But you'll see blue water and shifting sands
Wherever your feet may roam.
You may chat with your friends of this and that
And close to your family keep,
But you'll hear conch horns and lapping waves,
And palms rustling through your sleep.
You won't know why, and you can't say how
Such a change upon you came,
But-- once you have slept on Andros Island
You'll never be quite the same.
Andros applications were due Friday, and it just sank in that I'm really not going to Andros this year... SOOOOOO SAD :( No getting thrown off the boat by Cueball (Mr. L.). No iceream runs, wakeup calls, or morning runs with Thrasher (Logsdon). No Crazy MacGyver Diver stunts (Kramer). No hot counselors. No Jam secession with Reveene. No skiff races. No basketball with the Island boys. No beach volleyball, coconut football, or smear the queer. No beach soccer or late night capture the flag. No campfires. No ghost stories. No off key singing on the scuba skiff. No great balls of fire. No boat races. No gorgeous sunsets. No dock parties. No macarana. No beach raves. No wetsuit tans/attractive sunburns. No 19 hour busrides. No crazy taxi drivers. No SCUBA secessions. No sign language. No 4 AM Duncan Donut runs. No "eetchy" stuff. No massage lines. No spin dry's. No conchburgers/amazing bread/delish food. No moments in THE tree. No truth or dare. No late night, errrr... visits from other cabins. No gunshow. No bluehole/bridge jumps. No annoying "SB '04-'05" Screams. No cave explorations. No music pimp. No lapping waves to lull me to sleep. No Nemo. No Top Gun. No Barracuda escapes. No basket weaving. No Tingum. No bonding with a group of people who I'd otherwise never have hung out with....I'm missing the Andros experience, my Andros family already :( To my fellow gunshow members-- lock 'em, load 'em, and have an amazing time for me this SB.
(Colorado/Telluride better rock my world...)
BESOS!
