So life is good in the Burg, semesters almost over and it feels like my life has gone in to fast forward ive been planing out the next 2 years of my life like the next two months as of now it looks like ill be spending next semester interning at the white house, and hopefully graduating next year. if everything goes as planed i should be out of college working for the Gov. in the next 2 1/2 years God willing. now on to a much more taxing subject, that of my love life that everyone seems to be soooo interested in. As u all know i am not a patient person, at all. i pay extra for over night shipping i cut in line, i graduate early, i cut corners i lie about vip status to get what i need when i want it. Ali has taken it upon her self to break me of this, im sure u will all want to thank her one day if u ever meet her. Ali and i have a lot of history and for once its mostly the good kind we met in high-school when i was still in the states and we became good friends i liked her she just laughed and me and called me an idiot. well now as it stands we are not "dating" at least not this year we want to have some time together in a simi-stable location before we commit to a long distance relationship, ohh yeah ali is a freshman at Auburn University, soo yeah thats about 9 hours of pain and frustration lol :P any way soo things are good we are happy and thats all that really matters right now sooo yeah that covers that. i have been doing alot of white water kayaking and rafting this year, and hopefully ill be able to get back on the river this summer well see what happens with the job in DC next semester. well i got to go study :P

so this last weekend amadeus, mark and my self went camping at panther falls, it was amazing. we arrived there at dusk, and started scrambling to get camp set up while there was at least some light left in the sky. mark and i set up our ENO hammock tents in the trees on one side of the falls, and amadues set out his sleeping bag out on the top of a massive boulder on the other side of the falls. we got ready to crash at around 9:30 pm and thats when things got interesting, in our rush to leave nobody botherd to check the weather, a weather report that we would later find out read something to the extent of "SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS" this of course didnt phase me because over the past couple of years i have invested hundreds of dollars of my parents money into a rather impressive gear kit if i do say so my self lol, so i was dry, warm and comfortable, amadeus was far from that he was laying on the top of a huge boulder in nothing but his 80 dollar north face sleeping bag that did acctualy end up keeping him dry for the most part. so the whole night or the parts that i was awake for my mind buzzing as i was replaying national geographic specials on thunder storms and the statisitcs on people geting struck by lightning, (interesting side note your chances for geting struck greatly increas when you suspend your self in a tree on top of a mountain :P) so we all woke up early then next morning i found amadeus laying on the rocks in nothing but his long johns drying off lol, we had another motive on this trip other then camping we wanted to explore the area and as warm as it was outside the water was still cold, but theres an easy solution for cold water and that is a wet suit lol so as you can see in the pictures amadeus and my self are in wet suits to avoid geting hypothermia on our 5 mile hike down stream, unfortunatly we didnt get pictures of that because non of us have water proof cameras so yeah.... any way the two days we were out there were amazing i have some pictuers mostly of us jumping off the rocks but im going again next weekend and were going to try to get some more pics......

this is right befor i fell in the water

next morning geting ready to go down river

geting ready to jump
