Whelp, Lets backtrack a little bit. I went to Walden pond on Thursday after my aunt and I had failed in our first attempt the week before. For those of you who have forgotten, Walden pond is the place where Henry David Thoreau developed a lot of his philosophies. He lived in a cabin there, away from everything so that he could gain an understanding of nature and himself. For a guy who probably did not believe in Jesus, he did a good job of understanding morality and personal responsibility. We walked all around the pond (probably 2 miles), which was more like a small lake, and visited the site where his house had been. It was good fun.
Then today, glorious Saturday, my aunt and uncle and I went to Maine! It was sweet! I had my first whole lobster and it was really good. They probably caught it sometime this morning so it was rockingly fresh! We had fun walking along the rocky cliff of a shore... It's crazy because all of the vegetation goes up to the edge! Here are some pictoras.Oh yeah... the temperature was only 73 and I got cold in the shade. It was wonderful!
PS - ode to the perpetual loss of my facial hair.
I grew you out so I could feel like a man
You were really neat
I felt like a big kid
And I happily cut you off
during a happy, yet fateful, conversation
It took like an hour because you got really big and stopped being patchy
But now you are gone
and it makes a certain someone happy
maybe I'll see you next summer
goodbye, good sir.Love you guys!

hahhahahahha that lobster pic is funnnnyyyyyy!!!! well yea... that was a lot of craziness (in my last entry).... i'm interested to see what the rest of the month is gonna be like. ttyl, maggy
I liked the fact that you grew the beard. And now, I like the fact that you shaved it. Varity is good! I appreciate your writing. For a father to see his children walking in the personal reality of a day to day REAL relationship with God is inspiring to me, and is also humbling. Humbling in the sense that God has given me the gift of seeing my children walk the WAY. You're my son and, of course, always will be, but you're also a brother in Christ and you mentor me now. BE REAL dude, follow your hear, and pour into others - there you will find purpose and real value.
Opps. "variety" and "heart", not varity and hear.
haha, i like the ode to your beard. i would to such a thing, if i had enough beard to ode about.
and i like mute math ep. very nice.
goodbye beard. see you at Christmas, or next summer.
aww..... i liked the facial hair.
you know, back to school is especially emotional for teen boys going to private school because they have to get rid of their facial hair. i dont think girls realize this (they shun body hair like the plague) but facial hair to a growing guy is like .... a best friend. someone who will listen to you when your down. someone who will laugh with you when your happy...
that would be DOWNRIGHT CREEPY. wow. a laughing facial hair.
im not looking forward to shaving necessarily, because black people have special problems when it comes to shaving. since our hair is nappy, if you shave wrong, you get ingrown hairs. and with ingrown hairs comes the bumps, and with the bumps come the cuts, and the bleeding and the bad and the possibility of infection... i dont think you wanna know that bro...
i like how dad props you like that... props to the proppin dad. proppity prop prop prop. amen.
im done with this comment.
you know, when i was in williamsburg, we were riding the colonial bus, actually it was just a bus, and the only one around, we saw this lady with two kids. she looked like she was in her forties. and she had hairy legs. i just kind of glanced down, you know how you do when you're in a public place trying to avoid meeting people's eyes, and i saw them. ick. and they were kind of sweaty, cause it was hot that day...i'm gonna stop. it was sick. bleh. so there's my story. true, girls usually "shun body hair like the plague," but the alternative is gross.
