It happens every year, the first week of summer is awesome, second is cool, the third is nice and relaxing, then the rest are just boring. I'm not complaining, bored is preferable to stressed out of you senses, but it's just funny how little of your goals are accomplished, or even started, at the middle of the summer. I have barely even started planning my curb-painting business more than what I posted earlier. Oh well, at least I had a little bit of fun going along with little bits of plans. And I've had tons of fun sleeping. ;)
Does anyone agree?

Camp Baldwin
Late Friday night, I got home from Scout camp. Like last year, we went to Camp Baldwin, which is known by many boy scouts for its man made/heated lake. The down-side is that it is at 5000 ft. elevation, so if your camp sight is at the top of a hill (mine wasn't called "high prairie" for nothing), then you'll be wheezing by the time you get to the top.
Apart from the elevation, the only bad thing about camp was the dust and the food. The food would actually be pretty good, because you cook it yourself. The only problem is that they have horrible ingredients. The cheese they gave us made McDonald's look like Tillamook.
While I was at camp, I went on two overnight things were I slept under the stars. One was an astronomy thing, and the other was an awesome horse ride. It had a total of about two hours of riding, and if you had a good horse like mine, it was really fun. the horses knew the way and would just follow the horse in front of them.
Overall, I think that camp was great, but I've never been to another one to compare t to. If you've been to a scout or girls camp, please give me some insight on what others are like.

To the Figments of my Imagination: Deep Thoughts from a Teenager
I was planning on using this title for a book, but oh well. As the title suggests, this post will hopefully get you thinking.
Deep Thought One- Imagine this. You are a regular, sane person walking through an asylum. You see someone in a rubber room that is acting perfectlly normal, except they are talking to, dodging, and otherwise interacting with imaginary things that aren't there. You realize that the person is having a bizarrely accurate hallucination. Now imagine this. You're the guy in the rubber room, hallucinating a mock life.
Deep Thought Two-What if you lived your whole life with faulty color perception. What if the color that you call red, and that I call red, looks like what I call yellow to you?
