Vacation
I�ll tell you that after the stress of the past week I was most definitely ready for a break of some sort. The weekends are usually a good chance to restart my brain for another week of school. This weekend I needed something different to recover from pretty much the entire semester. What is it that I did for a Vacation? I went to Kamp Ed and hung out with Craig Johring, a truly great guy who can totally change the way someone looks at life. Spending time with Brother �Bro� is like taking a trip to the twilight zone. It is something that truly cannot be explained. He lives in the ultimate bachelor pad on a peninsula between the Platte River and a lake. This is a sweet cabin with a garage that he turned into a bunkhouse for the people that he has come over to visit. And believe me, he knows just about everyone who is worth knowing in this state. I could probably spend hours talking about this guy, he is one crazy character. Anyways, the point is that I am feeling much more at peace with many aspects of life the universe and everything right now, that�s what a meal of Smoked Turkey, baked Coho Salmon, Halibut, and Trout. All caught fresh from the waters of Alaska earlier in the summer and frozen till now, when my roommate and I came down to raid his supplies.
Anyways, despite the many aspects of my life which continue to confuse me with their complexity I have had some fun and interesting things going on lately. One of those things is the movie The Last Samuri with Tom Cruise. I don�t know why but that movie just keeps making me think about it, it has so many deep concepts in it that really need to be pulled out and examined to get the full enjoyment out of the movie. The Las Samuri is without a doubt a pure guy movie, much along the same lines as Gladiator and Braveheart, in fact one of the battle scenes really reminded me of Braveheart quite a bit. The only problem that I have with the movie is that I have only seen it once, and I do not really go to see movies very often, so it is likely that I will have to wait until it is on DVD to really enjoy this cinematic experience.
Now I think it is time to go out to eat on a gift certificate I received as a gift in return for fixing someone�s computer. Woohoo!
