Quit First! Quit Hard!

Well, this post is to let y'all know that I'm quitting my blog. This has been a long time coming and it's something I've pushed off for one justificating excuse or another. I would like to thank you all for your comments and compliments. It was a pleasant surprise when I heard that I actually did good at something. As much as I love writing and showing off, this blog is too much of a distraction for me. At least at this time. I don't know if I will pick up the pen again but I believe it will be a while. There are things that must be put in order and what not before I return.

My parting words of advice: live for God with all your heart. Trust in Him and lean not in your own understanding. Seek the Mind and Will of God. Smile often, laugh frequently, and Pray consistently.

Easy words. Hard actions. Always, always do your best.

Thank you Gentle Readers.
This is me, signing off

Congratulations 2010

Well, congratulations 2010 graduates! Welcome to the real world. Which, strangely enough resembles school a lot. You know that annoying kid that used to pick on you? Meet your new supervisor! Teachers pet? Meet the boss' pet! Yes, I know you've been waiting the past 12-15 years for this moment? (maybe even longer for *cough* some of you!) guess what! Here you are! Mission accomlished! I don't want to seem so discouraging, so I'll leave you with this... College has WAY less homework! Also, if you pick the right teacher... You may not even have to show up! Well, it's hard, it's fun, and it's everything in between. Most of all, it's your wide open field of dreams. Go trample some tulips with Bobby or Suzy or whoever that little kid that you thought had cooties, you're probably gonna marry them. Come to think of it, I never believed in cooties... *sigh* welcome to the real world, it ain't heaven but it sure beats highschool!

Humor aside, congratulations graduating class of 2010! Live, love and learn in a whole new familiar world :)

Camp Champ: 6th grade camp with Cesar Chavez Elementary

Last month I was approached by Bro. Hernandez to help with 6th grade camp... as pots and pans washer. Now most of you know that I wash pots and pans at Donkey Rock with our church camp. That was why he approached me... He knew I'm not too bright and proved it when I said I would go! Haha, humor aside, I did have a lot of fun and it was a good time. He also had me create a design for Camp Champ and I'm kind of proud of it. It was a flow of creative energy that brought it about and it wasn't as hard as I thought it might be. Starting from scratch on a design in which your only requirements are have it say "Camp Champ" and that's it isn't very easy. (Thank you Mr. Hernandez) It was disconcerting, since it was a public school everyone called him Mr. Hernandez and when I referred to him I kept accidentally calling him Bro. Hernandez. *facepalm*

Since you're just blurring through the words... here are some pictures!
Here is the design
The sketch I made when the idea hit me

Those of you wondering whats wrong with the picture... That's snow on the ground. It was gone by friday but it was there. Not something we're used to seeing, eh? The kids probably wouldn't have known what the frozen white stuff was unless we told them. 


I made this picture large so you could really see it. The waterfall was just a crashing down, I could feel the mist from the distance I was at. It was beautiful!
Look! Rainbow! also, you can get an idea how far away I was. I was standing on a ledge that you can see in the bottom right corner. The mist was spraying that far. 
Same picture, but its with a lomography filter. If you don't know what that is, lomography is a style of photography... Ill make a post some time about it.
The view from the Point... I know this is a common enough view for you Donkey Rock Veterans, but for those who haven't seen: here you go! 


This is proof that Hernandez does actually sleep at camp... 
View from the dock. I hope you enjoy the pics. CAMP IS COMING SOON!
