Canoeing.

Canoeing is fun, it is manly, it is different. It is really nice to go canoeing with good friends in the rain. However, if you already weigh 300 pounds, do not try to go canoeing with someone that weighs 250... try to find some ultra skinny people to go with so that at the slightest move you don't hurl yourself out of the boat and into the dirty water.

Cody, Dumas, and Josh Pulattie went canoeing with me on Saturday morning. It was a very nice time. God provided cool breezes and rain the entire time- which really was kind of nice.

The guy that we rented the canoes from said that it normally takes people about 4 and 1/2 hours in order to go 6 miles, but we did it in 3. It was really weird, we were hurrying sometimes, almost racing each other, but a good portion of the time, I was just resting- and so was Josh. I don't know if the people that took four hours actually had paddles or not, but I don't know what they were doing if it took them that long.

Later on Saturday we went to Texas Hamburger Factory- it is delicious. Big Burgers, Fries, Seven Layer Dip... it was amazing. After that we watched Basic with John Travolta. The movie wasn't that bad, and it got horrible reviews. So far this year the only truly horrendous movies that I have seen have been Rollerball, and The Truth About Charlie. Rollerball was so bad, I mean, really bad, so bad that we turned it off. I am sooo easy to please too when it comes to movies, normally the only thing I need to keep me focused is a carrot on a stick, or something shiny that jingles- but this more was painful, mindless, drivel.

After Basic- I went and played some Ultimate Frisbee- which was wonderful. There were some new people playing that I hadn't really gotten to know, and I myself was rusty. Afterward, this new girl told me, "You did pretty good." Like it wasn't my first time. I said, "Thanks!" and I meant it. She didn't realize that she was talking to the Tiger Woods of Ultimate Frisbee and that I was having an off day... it was funny.

After Frisbee I went to Cody's house where we ate more delicious burgers, Potato Salad that was to die for, beans, and homeade coconut creme pie- it was one of the best days of the summer.

I sometimes pull back from my life and wonder if it can get any better? I don't think so. I have everything that I need right now. I am so incredibly content. I have started writing again, and this time, I think I am going to go all the way.

The babbling crap that I have posted on my eddo shorts page is just that- babbling crap. It pales in comparison to my newest stuff- man, that sounds arrogant.

Well- I have written enough to catch you up on my life- please drop me an email sometime and let me know what is new with you...

Remember, everyone loves you at eddo and company.
