Camp 2006

Wow so i havent posted to this in a long time....I just found it under my favorites. Lets see what have i missed...So I have moved on from HVSR, now its run by complete morons who have finally finished what they started by pushing mike and andy out. Oh well, that camp is going to go downhill so fast. I have moved on but not from camps, In 2006 I worked out at camp seph mack in Penns woods council as the business manager. Working with Mike Marks was a lot of fun, he taught me a lot. It was an interesting summer because of all the drama. I was the new guy in management so no one really trusted me especially since I was always with Mike when he fired someone. They were always good speeches though. There was some trouble with fireworks, drinking and the dam.... I worked with dan from HVSR he came in the day before visitation and was our AQUA..ah, ha, ha, ha, ha... director.

Spring Break

So Spring break was totally awesome....We drove down at 2AM on Sat. I drove the 12 passenger van from Tennessee to Alabama. We got to double springs Alabama and chilled in a motel for the night. There was a sweet view of a lake that I had to test the water temp in... It was freezing cold but I still went swimming. Only for a few seconds though. Mike caught the picnic table on fire from his stove. I cooked pancakes on mine. The next day we started out on the trail and after looking at the map right next to where we were supposed to start. But for some reason we decided to take a different trail that turned out to not be a trail but more just deer paths. It took us to one of the coolest spots that we were the whole trip though. So we stayed there for the night which included swimming and playing in the waterfall. The next day we went back and started on the right trail. We met up with a sheriff because someone had left their car doo open in the parking lot. I closed it and when the sheriff went to open it he set off the alarm. The right trail involved a cave which we could not fit through with our packs so we had to go up and over. My sleeping bad ended up falling in the water....Luckily those stuff sacks are fairly water proof. We ended up on top of a ridge with and then when we finally got to where we decided to camp and had dumped all our stuff it started to pour. Then I was challenged to get a fire going. We had tree branches sticking out so the rest would dry out while part of it burnt. The next day we hiked back and crossed the river to make it a little shorter. We loaded up in the van and drove to Knoxville Tennessee. We met up with Matt who went to HS with Janene and he took us and showed us around the Univ of Tenn campus. Then he took us to a club called Cotton Eyed Joe. It was a tues night so it wasnt real busy but was still cool. Oh yeah and there was that random girl who decided to start grinding with me. The next day we drove on to kentucky and stayed in an awesome cabin with a hot tub pool table and full kitchen. We went for a small hike the first day and chilled that night. The next day we went on a nine mile hike to the tallest waterfall in the Great Smokey Mountains. We were real tired at the end of that so that night we explored the town of Gatlinburg. Got throwing knives and a assited open knife. The next morning we got up at 630 AM and loaded up. i slept for the first couple hours then drove from Kentucky back to PA. It was a great trip.

Drop out of school

I should just drop out of school and travel the country reffing. I am going to philly again this weekend to do the bantam and peewee distict playoffs. I have 5 games over two days. I got all my classes taken care of so i can be there all day fri. Oh boy. Then this morning I get a call from beth asking if I can do a game tonight at PI. I had to decline. Then 20 minutes later i get another call from a guy from New Jersey asking if I could do lines for a game thurs night. I wouldnt have been able to make it there with classes. He asked where i lived and was surprised when i told him. Oh well i guess I will continue with school and just take them where I can.

The weekend

So this past weekend I spent more time in the car driving than I have in prob. the past couple months combined. I drove 2.5 hours home fri night went to bens hockey game, Mr Derr was quite drunk which made it interesting, then went home and spent time getting all my stuff together so I could leave to make the 2 hour drive to philly to ref Midget district playoffs. They were a lot of fun, although the game that I had to ref was the game from hell. 2 goals i waved off and then after discussion made goals, the clock showed 0:00 but the buzzer hadnt sounded on another goal but their was still .6 sec on the console in the scorers box. Then they decided to fight. This huge kid tackeled and then continued to keep punching the kid while laying on top of him. Then two other kids decided to go at each other. Even after Jones got the kids on the ground split up the big kid still wanted to keep going and was trying to get away....what fun. Then i drive 2 hours and whose game do i get, york and hershey.Made $240 they gave it to us in little envelenopes it was funny. Then this mornign i get up and drive to hagerstown maryland for 75 bucks. It was a scrimmage between them and hershey it turned out to only be like 45 minutes out of my way in getting back to school so that wasnt too bad. But now I am DEAD tired and still have to finish my thesis......Congratulations you have died from exhaustion...

But once I make it through writing this paper I get to go home. I am reffing the district playoffs in Philly on Saturday. Midget playoffs. Hopefully ill get a hold of keefer and we can hang out at camp at some point this weekend. Also I am going to go retrieve my stuff that I have up there. Take everything that is mine....
