We look before and after,-Percy Bysshe Shelley, To a Skylark
And pine for what is not:
Our sincerest laughter
With some pain is fraught;
Our sweetest songs are those that tell of saddest thought.

Lest I Forget 9:14 PM
When you are such a big part of someone's life, they never forget you, not even when you leave. A little part of you will always be a little part of them. A little part of you will always be a part of me.
What shall I say? There are certain things in this life I don't deserve, certain things I will never have; you were one of them. I never really blamed you, though. If I stop and ponder, I'll find that I bring all this upon myself.
Burn me, you said, but I drowned you instead. You fluttered out of my grasp as the dark depths swallowed you; alas, I have never shed a tear. Rest in peace, my love, hold my cracked heart of stone on this rocky floor, lie and gaze as diffused sunrays tickle the currents.
I deliver my eulogy in loving memory of what was, in fond appreciation for this gift you've given me, in triumph because of the better man you've made me, in quiet remembrance; lest I forget.

I put the "pro" in "procrastination" 11:23 AM
I did have a little something something for you all about the HOT Camp I attended; but right now I'm entering a different camp, an MC/OC one of which I am god, class giver, inspirationalist, skit member, photographer, and team captain. Pray that the little guys won't eat me alive. Please.
Once that is over, I will be posting a post and some pictures of our JT camp, and then maybe a post and some pictures of this MC/OC one. Yes, I realize I haven't posted anything about Wordstock yet. You can spank me now.

Of Critics and Toilets 6:36 PM
No one comments anymore. Why? Because they're either critics or toilets. But hey, it was worse when they were "anonymous cowards" or "blemishes".
Take no offense to the titles I have given you, they are meant in an affectionate way. Unless, of course, you are here to disagree with me, in which case you are a Toilet Critic.
(My current titles are actually parodies of the argumentative and better-than-you attitudes and style of many bloggers nowadays. And yes, I'm better than you. No? PROVE IT.)

My Pre-Attack Plan 4:25 PM
Only one more day and counting. Sunday the 13th marks the day of the beginning of this year's JETT/Teen camp. There's not much word on the exact location of our chalet, but so far I've heard it's a 20 minute walk from the campground parking lot, and that the chalet is powered by generators.
It sounds like it's really out there in the boondocks. Which is great, really, I'm not complaining. All it means is more room and privacy for me to lead David's Mighty Men on a streaking campaign like last year. (I hope my camp shepherds don't read this blog.) Eh heh.
I'm also planning carefully constructed and witty antics for our dear camera man this year. God bless him, he's like the all-seeing eye or an invisible companion. He's captured many of my embarrassing moments and immortalized them with his little digital device. After that, his minions of evil (a.k.a. my friends) have traveled and brought their camp DVDs to others' homes, where antics such as picking my nose, choking out a rap song, accosting the camera man for the name of the camp, and dancing a drunken jig have soiled my reputation.
The difference is that this year I will keep a wary eye out for that Sneaky of all Sneakies, and only throw him some tasty morsels when I see fit. Now all I need to accomplish this is a good dose of will power and concentration, but I think my reserves are empty.
If all goes well, I should have some pictures and a bit to say about the camp after it's over.

Sun in the Fun 10:57 PM
I've been having too much fun this summer, which means I've also been too busy this summer, hence the lack of new humor and tragedy here.
Now just before you yell "Yay! Something new and more coming soon!", I'll let you know that I'm still busy with my summer fun. There's a JETT/Teen camp happening this August, so while that will keep me busy for the next two weeks (fundraising and such) until it takes place, it'll be something to write about.
That's not to say I've run out of creativity, heck no, I've got a line of new material trying to push it's way out of my mind and onto the computer. I even stand the risk of not remembering all that I want to write.
Another reason for the lack of spanking new posts is that I'm planning to redesign this site. I probably won't make many changes, but I've been itching to get in and change some things that I dislike about this site.
