A sum up of the summer

   In case you did not know, the summer is pretty much over. Sorry to disappoint those of you who thought it was only half way through. So I figured I'll kinda sum up whats been going on during my summer especially the last few weeks.
    My friends and I had a lot of fires, went fishing, and cooked out a lot. That brings us to approximately to 3 weeks ago. I have this friend who lives very close to my house. His name is David. David is pretty cool, and he loves batman. I also enjoy batman comics and movies. Well one day my friend David brought it to my attention that there was going to be a scene from the new Batman movie filmed in Pittsburgh this year. He also pointed out that they needed a large amount of extras for this particular scene. So we applied and got accepted to be extras in the scene. Dark and late one Friday evening/Saturday morning (it was 12:00 AM) I got up and drove to get David from work. We drove to Pittsburgh where we spent the entire day being the coolest extras ever. Then we drove home.
    A week later I went to Purple Door and saw a bunch of awesome bands play. My favorite band was there as well which made me very happy, Showbread. So that was pretty cool.
   The following Sunday my family went to the beach in North Myrtle Beach, SC. It was a nice week of relaxation and eating and swimming. A pretty good time in general. And I found a dead shark but sadly I did not have my phone with me so I couldn't take a picture. Shortly after returning from the beach another good friend of mine called me. He asked if I wanted to go to the North Carolina with him to visit his relatives for a few days. Naturally I did what any bored single man of 21 would do. I said OF COURSE!!!! So while I was waiting for him to get to my house, I was chilling in the living room when a tremor rippled through our house. It turns out that it was the earthquake everybody all ready knows about. Soon we were on our way to Galax, Virginia to drop off a friend at her house. While we were there we discovered the meaning behind the name of the town. Apparently there is a leaf called the Galax leaf that grows there. I have yet to find out if it grows anywhere else in the world. We then drove to North Carolina where we went swimming at the Outer Banks while they were evacuating everyone. Its a good time to go, very few people and big waves. The next day the hurricane struck, so we sat around watching TV and playing games and eating food. Eventually we left North Carolina to head back to VA to get our friend then back to PA. Now I sit at home preparing to go to Word of Life Bible Institute next Tuesday.
   I must say this has been one of the best summers I've had so far. Thanks to all the cool people that helped it to be like that.

The Cheif

    So a lot of you are probably very concerned because I have not posted an update in several weeks. Well, don't worry, I'm actually alive and well. I've just been really busy being cool and earning money and spending it. But don't be alarmed! I shall in fact give you a sum up of my summer. Not yet though, because it is not quite over.

    However, I do have something to tell you all about. There is this little terrier dog thing that wanders around our neighborhood. He's just a tiny little pooch but he walks around like he owns the neighborhood. The funny thing is that no other dogs are allowed to do that. He seems to be the only one that gets free to run around. At first I was annoyed by this little dog, but while mowing the grass today he pranced on by me and that's when I realized I actually liked this pooch. His name is Rigsey.
This is what he looks like, except that he is black and white.
