Reality Check

Today I got a real reality check. The other day I was talking to EmLen about all the directors at DC and she asked if I was coming back. Seeing as how I didn't get a return app. and haven't been invited to any committee meetings this year, I never even considered coming back. She said there were a few positions left they need to fill so I decide to e-mail BD about the position. He calls me today and gives me the news that he wants to but there is no way they will let him. I admit there was part of me that could have cared less, but a bigger part of me that wishes I could for a few reasons. My first reason is it is going to be really weird since summer and camp have gone hand and hand for me for the past couple years. Another one is my first summer was probably the greatest summer of my life. I made friends that I know will be around for a long time to come, I felt accomplished because I felt like I was actually doing something meaningful for kids that needed it. Another reason is last summer was just a mess, after the summer was over I really wanted next summer to come because I didn't want to end my camp career on a bad note like that. My first summer I made friends at DC, I partied with them every weekend and I was a rather popular person over there. Last summer I made maybe 2 or 3 friends and about the same amount of "enemies" at DC. I didn't get invited to any of the parties or anything like that. I made more friends at RC that I did the one I actually worked at. The summer just didn't seem like can't and came along with everyday being long and hard and without really any feeling of accomplishment. To be honest I enjoyed my two weeks at RC more that I did the 7 at DC. This summer was just terrible, well not completely terrible I guess, there were some things that did their part to make it a great summer. I guess I'm just rambling on now without making any real points so here is what I was feeling after the phone conversation ended.

I was a bit upset about there being no possibility of me coming back because people there didn't like me. But knowing that the person that I actually care about their opinion did want me back made me feel better. I actually gained more respect for him for actually calling me and telling me the situation and making sure we were still friends.

So I guess this puts me on that blacklist thing that other people are on. Maybe I'll do like MLA and move on to a different camp, or maybe I'm just done with camp all together.

Artist of the week-Pricasso (Parental Advisory for the use of nudity)

I know it probably has been over a week that I have posted one of these so just for that I did a real interesting one, not to mention probably Kip Delp's favorite artist in the whole wide world.

His name is Pricasso, real name Tim Patch, and his specialty is penile art. Everything he paints is with his penis. The way he makes his money is people e-mail him a photo and he paints it with his penis, video tapes himself doing it and sends you the tape and photo back and if you like it you buy it.

"In the beginning of time life forces were created with divine intervention, my art evolved spontaneously from basic mysterious forces surging through me, Stripped naked to the core unbounded by society's conventions I am at one with nature exposing primitive urges, all my senses converge, I feel the very roots of my creativity stirring rising up merging with the subjects inner beauty climaxing in uncontrollable waves of divine euphoria and my loins I create PENILE ART."







Just in case you guys want to e-mail him a photo of yourself (Kip) his e-mail is tim.patch@bigpond.com

Yea, your T.V. is nice but....

...this one is way better.






The Panasonic 150-inch Plasma was officially unveiled by the brand at the CES 2008 conference. This 150-inch plasma display features a 2160x4096 pixel count. Although not much is known about its prices techie part, it is supposed that this colossal screen feeds on 220volts. And if you are already digging in to your pockets to buy this TV (assuming that you can accommodate this screen in your den) then you need to pause till 2009 (at least).

Are you going to buy this? Because I probably am.

Kanye West is coming out with a book. I'm not sure of the exact release date, all I know is I am most likely going to buy it.

This is how bored I am.

In the midst of my extreme boredom I saw this video on college humor. It's not exciting and probably easily explained therefore pointless for me to show this to all of you because you'll be greatly disappointed in me because it is just not that cool. I'm sorry.

Getting annoyed.

I really think I'm getting annoyed to the point where I need to move out before I kill someone. I've been on here saying how I get annoyed by little things such as my roommates clearing their throats every 5-10 seconds and also their laughter at stupid things that normal people would never find funny. Well while in my room tonight watching t.v. it just keeps getting worse and worse. My female roommates has two laughs; a manly barbaric bellow from the bottom pit of her stomach and an obnoxious giggle that a child would only get if they were the product of Peter Griffin from Family Guy and Janis from Friends. They both made soup and I could hear them slurping over two different t.v. sets and about 10-15 ft. of hallway. Now these aren't really things I would go as far as moving out because they are annoying. Last Thursday was the straw that broke the camels back. They keep telling me "Hey we are having people over so invite some friends and get them over here." So I do. I have Dump show up and two of his roommates and his roommates girlfriend and I am friends with them all because I go over there and hang out a lot. Well when they get there and try to mingle with the other people there they are rudely ignored by everyone. Normally this wouldn't bother me because I could really care less for 98% of their friends so their opinion on my friends doesn't matter, what really made me mad was that my roommates were doing the same thing. Every single one of their friends that showed up that I didn't know, I approached them and introduced myself with my roommates making no attempt to introduce us. When my friends get here I introduce them to everyone and they good looked at and ignored like a middle child. It really pisses me off because of countless times I had to bite my tongue and hold back when their racist slut friend who proudly claims to have had sex with over 30 guys is raving and ranting about how her 3 current lovers aren't being faithful to her over the girlfriends they currently have or every time she decides everyone in the room thinks it is alright and stands by her when she uses the "N" word or makes some racist comment about anyone other than white people. Or when she was directly racists towards Dump and his old roommate when they were over here hanging out being nothing but polite to everyone including her.

Another thing, after playing a good 7 games of beer pong and I am in the middle of my 8th game. Someone knocks on the door and it is the pizza guy. The racist girl and this other girl who is mexican but the racist girl kisses her ass because she knows if she doesn't then she will get her ass kicked ordered a medium pizza and breadsticks. After they eat a few slices and start saying how they are getting full, I notice a dollar in my pocket and I am really hungry and the pizza smelled good so I said "is it ok if I just have one slice of pizza, I will give you a dollar for it, if not it's cool I'll just go get food after this game." They say no a first so I say ok then 10 minutes later after they are done they approach me and give me their last piece. The next morning I wake up hearing them in the living room all talking and the pizza situation was brought up. I hear them saying something like this...

Slut 1:"Adam wouldn't fucking leave me alone about the pizza he kept asking me and asking me for a piece and I didn't want to give him one."

Slut 2:"Yea I know that was sooo annoying."

Slut 1:"I fucking hate when people ask for food I buy I just want to be like 'OMG get your own.'"

Slut 2:"Yea and we finally gave it to him to shut him up it was so annoying."

I wanted so badly to just go in there and give them the business end of a verbal foot in the ass but I didn't because they are my roommates friends. Even though the story was completely exaggerated because I asked once offering a dollar and even told them it was ok if they didn't want to give me one then THEY approached ME to give me their last slice. Fucking liars.

So with all the annoying habits of my roommates, treating my friends like garbage while I treat their garbage friends like my friends, and always having to see their friends that I can't stand, put that all together and it is making me think about looking for a new place to live. Plus we can't have pets here at all, oh wait that is changing come this fall! It is only a non refundable charge of 250 dollars and 50 dollars a month if you want a pet! And a fucking gold fish is classified as a pet to these people. Fucking ridiculous, I wouldn't pay that much money to have any pet here let alone a gold fish. I need to move somewhere where I can buy a kitten and name him Biff.

Oh-Eh,
