Being Busy Without Doing Much

I think I could write a book on how to be busy without doing a heck of a lot.

Since my last blog:
I turned 18
Continued growing a goatee that I don't particularly like, but dread having to shave
Had my small group over to hang-out
Went to Rock the Coast
Did the rip-cord with Sarah and Ben
Slept off being tired from Rock the Coast
Inadvertently missed a middle school leader's meeting
Got surprised big time by a surprise party on Sunday night
Got more stuff together for my camping trip with Dallas, Jerm, and Keith
Continued preparations for Grace
Watched two great finales for two awesome shows: Alias and 24
Got a little more together for Grace
Sat down to write a blog post.

Like I said, I've "been busy" but haven't really done a lot.

Here in good old MO

My mom, brother, and I arrived late last night in Festus, MO where we're visiting our family.

This morning, we found this article on the front page:Freshly scanned from the Festus newspaper

I guess we're the most urgent news around town. I feel pretty important and popular.

In other news, I'm listening to all my family sing karaoke. Pictures (and video if I can figure it out) will be here shortly...

EDIT: Here are the promised pictures.Luke singing and Brock getting his groove on

I was getting rid of them... all of them. Those things.

I haven't had very many original thoughts lately, hence the lack of posting.

Methinks that after finishing school, the thinking portion of my brain shut down. The only operational part now is the routine part.

I finished up my time at Hage's last Friday. I now have to wait out the next 3 weeks until camp. Until then, I'll stay busy with a trip to St. Louis, Rock the Coast, and a camping trip with Keith, Jeremy, and Dallas.

The last two days, we've been working on a video for the Wild this week. It is a yet-to-be-titled mock epic. We had a lot of fun filming it, so I hope the middle schoolers enjoy it.

Perhaps I will post it on here in a few days (if I get Jeremy's permission). Here's a quote to whet your appetite: Aaarrgh!"They're out there. And they desire to eat you. Those things."

Fun stuff.
