Just booked a flight. Set to arrive at ILM with Khara on friday the 14th at 11:24 pm. Gotta leave on friday the 21st at 2:35pm. This year is going to be the best one yet. Can’t wait to see yall.

Was curious as to what NC has to offer park wise. Found this site – NCParks.gov

The natives will have to let us know what they think.

These ones look cool:

Fort Macoon “The park is also home to a Civil War fort with a history as intricate and unique as the waterways of the sound. Visit Fort Macon to enjoy the land’s natural beauty and soak up some history.”

Jockey’s Ridge “At Jockey’s Ridge State Park you can experience the world of the desert. Shifting sands, high winds, extreme temperatures and a lack of water make the park resemble barren environments such as the Sahara Desert.”

Dismal Swamp “Feel your daily stresses melt away as you cross the historic Dismal Swamp Canal and walk along the 300-foot boardwalk into this geological wonder. Experience first hand the lush swamp forest and get up-close and personal with the wide variety of wildlife.”

Goose Creek “Giant, old oaks draped in Spanish moss welcome you to this special world where broad, lazy Goose Creek joins the Pamlico River”

Lake Waccamaw “At Lake Waccamaw, you can view one of the greatest geological mysteries of the eastern United States—the phenomenon of Carolina bays. Limestone bluffs along the north shore neutralize Lake Waccamaw’s water, making the lake different from any other Carolina Bay. Nearby, you can catch a glimpse of a botanical wonder—the Green Swamp.”

Merchant’s Millpond “An “enchanted forest,” primitive species of fish relatively unchanged over millions of years, towering bald cypress trees with massive trunks, luxuriant growths of Spanish moss—this is Merchants Millpond State Park. Here, coastal pond and southern swamp forest mingle, creating one of North Carolina’s rarest ecological communities.”

What’s going on with everybody? It’s been almost 2 weeks since we were all together (ah, heaven) and I haven’t talked to you guys much. Please let me know how you’re doin!

For the 12 year anniversary of the Command and Conquer series, they released Gold as a free download. Get the GDI and NOD Discs here

I finally found some video software that appears to be compatible with my laptop!I am embarrassed it took this long, but excited for preserving our beach memories!

Well,since days go by in a flash, here we are near the 4th of July already. I’m so excited to see everybody together!! I’m hoping everyone makes it in, and I’m guessing Friday’s going to be everyone’s arrival day. Can you guys give me an idea of about how many people you’re planning on asking to come over on the 4th? I need to work on chairs, tables, food and stuff, and it can’t be done in one day. So give me a rough count if you can. By the way, pray for no rain – we don’t have our garage to use this year.

So one day im at the gas station, and this drunk and homeless looking mexican comes up to me, he can hardly speak english, yet alone speak at all, and i can tell hes asking for a ride into New Mexico (which is literally 5 mins away). i tell him im going the other way, and he goes away. Im almost done pumping my gas, and he comes back. i say ok, but he thought i said no again, and goes away. so when i go to leave, i yell vamanos, and wave him over. he grabs his sack of cans, hops in, and puts on his seat belt.. we are driving down the road, and hes muttering shit i cant really understand, plus i cant hear real well since i put both windows down as soon as he got in the truck cause of the smell. all of a sudden he starts reaching around in his pocket, and im like great, here we go, so i reach around to my back pocket for my knife. he fumbles around for another few seconds, then pulls out this little doll, calmly sets it on my dashboard, and says "i love you man". blew my mind. stuff like that happens every day down here, if you let it.
