Beware the NARDWAR!
Check it out, I jus got back from RockRidge Canyon today (Sunday) and BEWARE THE NARDWAR! Also known as Norwalk, the deadly virus known to destroy the hopes and dreams of many seniors on cruise ships. The infestation infested the camp this summer, and we lost many a good men to the bowl, the toilet bowl that is. They had it all over the place out of both ends. It's not a pretty sight. BUt dang, other than the Nardwar, an absolutely amazing week, and I pitty anyone who didn't go. I have been to the same type of Young Life camp in my high school days, but at a different venue. I was completely partial to Malibu before this week, and I still stand by the fact that Malibu has atmosphere all over any other place on earth, but I've let go of many of my other prejudices. When I went as a camper myself, I really hadn't "come out of my shell" as it were. This week I went as a leader in a cabin of eleven guys and one other leader. It was the time of my life. RockRidge is an amazing place, filled with insane summer fun, and loads of nine square. Pool parties, disco dances, upper class dining, wake boarding, and all the other stuff I already explained come to think of it, but this time I've done it now. It was awesome being there with the high school guys and being able to have pant loads of fun with them and help lead them towards a relationship with Jesus. Cabin life was crazy (and really smelly, like the insides of some nameless horror), with sweet beats like sexyback... take it to tha bridge. Awesome clubs, giant flower fights, shaving cream and water balloon fights, slap the chicken (honest, it's not sexual), and so much more. I got soul but I'm not a soldier. Getting to know a bunch of the really cool guys in my cabin and spending time with them, playing nine square, wake boarding, and doing a lot of stuff unnecessairily shirtless come to think of it. But hey, it's summer camp. I'll throw up a bunch more pictures of the week in a separate post for y'all, and you can have a little peek at the awesomeness that is RockRidge. I know many of my listeners are also in aquaintance with one Liz Becker, whom was also in attendance at the summer camp as one of the three program directors, and did an awesome job I must say. Also really good to get to see her again. All together it was as promised. The best week of my summer. I'm planning to goto RockRidge as a summer staff for three weeks next year, as well as hopefully going as a leader again. So, check out these pictures that are here too. Peace alls.

RRC 2006
Going to Rock Ridge doods.
most of my boys effed out on me, but I ain't knocked down... Actualy I was totally bummed, but oh well, whatcha gonna do. Hopefully it's still a bitchin' good time. oh wait...
I almost forgot the obligatory iSight picture. This is me as I post this baby.
So, first of all, everyone on earth should go to www.snakesonaplane.com and do the Samuel L Jackson phone call (I even used my HTML coding prowess to make it easy for you there). It freeking rocks, and if you send it to me I'll give you a high five.
Second. I totally put four episode of Scrubs (the best show ever on TV) onto my new iPod video, and it rocks my socks. It's the coolest, watching scrubs... anywhere. I bet you all could do that. It is to be coveted (don't worry I won't tell God).
Third. Anyone who uses iChat or Skype should ad me to their contacts list. My AIM screen name is spiderkyle84 as is my skype name. So hit me up, including you Drew, cuz I think your iChat name isn't drewfasa, unless you have a .mac account. Anyway, skype me. I'm totally stoked on free long distance video chatting.
Here are 2more RRC pictures...
Ropes course, Tower of Terror "aka the screamer", second longest zip line in north america, water sports, mountain biking, big pool, it's all very, very bitchin'.
So, I didn't really have much to post about his time here, I jst thought I'd give you the low down. Oh, I just bought a new motorbike helmet after my second one fell off my bike on the highway at 80 clicks, so it was in rough shape, or dead, and I also bought a new jacket, a mesh one for the freeking hot weather which will more than likely end the second I pull it out of the box. Just my luck. BUt it was cheap so it can sit all winter and it'll still be worth it. Pretty stoked on this new helmet, since mine is already scratched from bailing on the way to Big White last year. Sucky. Now I get a brand new one to mark up. Still gotta paint my bike, that'll probably just happen this winter, even though I've had the paint for a while already. I hope paint doesn't go bad... you know, grow mould and watnot. Anywho, that's all, I should go to bed now. PEace alls.

SWEEET!
Check it out alls. I'm back on the posting, with a new machine. I got me anew MacBook w/built in iSight camera...
SO I can take sweet pictures of me at the exact time that I lay down this phat post (yes the macbook has turned me black). So you will be seeing a few pictures a la iSight this episode. Since my last post I have been riding like abanshee... because it's hot as hell here... oh, that's a good one. seriously though, we're talking forty degrees for a couple of days. dang it. not fun in the construction industry. But I didn't burn at all, so that's a plus. So, riding has been pretty good, I've got back the adrenaline that I lost when the bike was off line.
Not sure if I posted about it yet but I got my second tattoo over a month ago now, and now I have pictures (a la iSight). It looks pretty good if you ask me, and now you don't have to ask cuz I just told you. I do need to go back for some touch ups though, as it was very involved and some colours didn't get enough attention (which was fine by me cuz it hurt like a firey oblivion for over an hour). So anyways, here's some pictures, yes the second one is a pose, but, you know me, can't resist... It's also backwards thanks to the iSight, it's really on my left arm.
There she be, the Mexican coat of arms. If you look back a few posts, or months or long period of time... I posted what I was p[lanning to get, I just removed the words from previous design, so that I could get it bigger and better detail. I may still add something later. But that's it for now.
I totally cleaned my room the other day so that I could set up a macbook work station in here, and I'm pretty proud cuz it looks almost as good as it has since we moved in, and I have a place to use my computer. I can plug my speakers in my room into the computer for my sweet iTunes library, and our wireless network is awesome at something like an amped up two kilometer radius or something sick like that. Saweet. I got an iPod with my computer too, because of a student discount thing i got it for only fifty bucks, for the 30 gig video, so that was really the hook line and sinker for me, even though I may regret not buying a cheeper computer in the future. But also I am going to use the computer to make Melissa White's (now Melissa Hallman) wedding video, cuz she just got married and I'm stoked to giver that a try. I saw good ol' Ashley Star Bates (two R's?) at said wedding (now engaged to be married herself, shout out). Good times.
As far as I know this would be a section for Drew mostly. Halo 3 release has been set sometime next July I belive, and I jsut got a disc with the HD trailer on it, and a magazine with all this crazy analysis about it and stuff, I watched it on the big screen in surround sound, cranked to 11. It was spectacular. I'm stoked, but it's still a long time to wait, but i'm so jacked about it. Definately gonna buy it as soon as it comes out, and Drew you should make a special trip over the pond and play some co-op with me. that offer stands for anyone who is a gamer too by the way. I get lonely sometimes...
I head off to Rock Ridge Canyon, a Young Life camp (props Lief and Liz) near Princeton BC, in a couple weeks, just before going back to school. i've been a young life leader since about march, and it's this crazy extravagant camp where we take all these high school kids to teach them about Jesus. I'm pretty excited about that, ought to be fun. I've never been a camp leader before, but luckily I'm not alone, i've got the big dawg with me, our regional director Grant. So I'm in good hands. Then after camp I actually have to go back to work for a little bit before going to school, hopefully it won't even be a full week. School is going to be crazy busy, word has it it's like 50 hours of work a week, school and homework together, so I hope it's interesting and fun so that I'm motivated, cuz it's going to be gnuts.
So last of all, Drew or Heather, or anyone with a macbook for that matter, we ought to iChat it up. I'm all set up with my AIM account now, so I'm pumped for some video conferencing.
Well, that's all for now doods, peace out.
