Long Time No Post
Though I have not written anything for a bit, there has been some pretty cool stuff going on.
My new group, the Roanokes, attended a Civil War reenactment on the weekend of the 8th. This was the first time I have ever been to something like that, and I was glad to be able to do it with camp. There were about 900 reenactors alone, along with the folks visiting the battle. It was fascinating to walk around and see so many people dressed in Civil War era clothing and accessories--each one a historian in her own right. One guy was the spitting image of Robert E. Lee. I think about half of my group actually appreciated the experience, but I suppose they might remember it later in life.

I've also stumbled upon a little romance, which seems to be taking up more of my time off. 'nuf said.

We had a little send off last Wednesday night to my friend, manager and roommate, Chief Troy. He is leaving Eckerd to work as a traveling representative for his college fraternity. Yeah, he's getting paid to travel around and visit frat boys. Kooshy. Anyway, the funnest part of the night was when I was asked to perform a few songs around the campfire. Everyone seemed to be into it, and I began stomping on the fire to emphasize certain parts of a song. Natural pyrotechnics baby! It's definitely a trick I will utilize in the future.

I also went fishing again yesterday. One of the cheapest beers out here on the coast is the Yuengling. Apparently it's the oldest brewry in America. Quite a flavorful lager beer. A case of that dunked in ice and some fresh nightcrawlers--I caught some fish and a nice buzz.

And here's a little shout out to Byan Keen whom I haven't heard from in over a year. Whazzup Keen!

Peace out.

Hip-Hop

Recently my collection of hip-hop albums has gone from 3 to around 30. I've been telling myself over and over again for the last year that I am going to expand my hip-hop collection. Now it has been done. My collection includes such artists as: The Roots, Goodie Mob, Mos Def, Talib Qweli, Blackalicious, 2-pac, Common, among others.

Along with the hip-hop collection, my DVD collection continues to expand. I just ordered four new Bergman films, another Bunuel film, and the Orphic trilogy by Jean Cocteau.

AND I had enough money in my checking account to send about $900 to my credit card friends. Damn.

The Legendary Chief Jason

I recorded, produced, burned and finished all of the artwork for my first cd this weekend. I'm pretty happy with it in a disappointed sort of way. Give me your address if you want a copy.
