Is the Cup half Full or Half Empty?

By randombrad

Today I was lucky to have a half a day. Deanna (who is once again becoming more famous by the second) needed to visit her family and help her sister move. In the morning we continued to go through equipment and clean and retire what needs retired. Then I cleaned the yellow truck out real good. We went up to the bouldering wall to tighten the rocks and holds. And then I tested the wall by trying to get all the way around it without falling off. I got all the way around except 6 feet. I went to lunch and then was off. But with my time off I decided to have a nostalgic moment and edit the video that we shot last Monday. The video is a Welcome back to camp. I am happy with how it turned out. I thought that it captured the essence of what people wanted the video to be. I was able to hash it out in about 3 hours which I thought was good. It wasn’t work for me it was relaxing but not being lazy relaxing. We had dinner at the Meidals and it was amazing. That was where the video was debuted. Then I decided to go back to my room and situate my things better. I put my first load of landry here at the OAKS for the summer. Man I hate going their alone. Ever since my scare this last semester from walking on the railroad tracks and being followed finishish with hearing a scream, I let dark places get the best of me.

I have been thrown into a sea of people. It is a great thing. Its just I feel at times there are too many white elephants in one room. Things are left unspoken, which can cause some tention. I feel like I am being delt some of my own mediceine from my prior days. I have encoutered a person that has to say something about everything. I am learning a great lesson. I have actually started talking less in larger groups. There are a few people here that understand me beyond the surface and even some that say what I am thinking before I am able to say it. It’s sort of like an exstream game of simon says but you do what simon says before simon can come up with what he is going to “say”. I’m trying to be careful how I play my cards and figure out what is the best card game for me to play with the hand I have been delt. I don’t want to make the same mistakes I have in the past and I am wanting to be more causious. I also feel like there is an underlining “thing” that people are thinking and are hinting at but arn’t saying. I think I know what it is but I will just wait till it surfaces.

Peace Out,
