F O C U S

I made a phone call when I was 17. I’m really glad I did.

So… colds are kinda annoying to have. But hey, I am probably to blame for being in such poor shape. Yet another reason to take care of myself, I get sick less. But alas, mucus is rather amazing. And truly it’s only slightly rearranged my social life. Could be a lot worse. Someone who doesn’t did call and ask how I was yesterday. That was pretty nice of them I think.

Guess what? I got my ticket for MN. Yes sir. Jereme got his as well. You know what that means? Let me explain it to you. Sean, Jereme, and I all have a ticket to Costa Rica. Jereme and I have tickets to MN. It means we’re leaving. For real. Not for pretend. That is incredibly exciting. Patience has it’s rewards.

I am very much looking forward to spending some time with a married couple I know in MN. Lovely people. I hope to go out in service in Hmong territory. That just sounds cool. Wonder if I’ll run across any Titteringtons or Moores up there. Would be nice to see Ezra and Bethany again. Yikes I hope that’s their names. Haha, it has been a while. Man I wonder if we’ll see Justin. Time to bust out the ol’ address book I suppose. We’ll have a week to kill, and I mean dead.

Went shopping for adventure type gear yesterday. I tell you what, I could spend money on that stuff no problem. It feels like an adventure just looking at it. High dollar gear has always been a weakness for me. Speaking of, check out these awesome messenger bags at Chrome. I intend to acquire one of those.

So for the first time ever in my entire short little life. I mean I’d say more, but really you wouldn’t understand, except like you and you. But I mean, first time? Yeah, no kidding. Never have had that happen ever. I mean not once. Not even close to that. It’s stinking amazing. Incredible. Yea words pretty much fail me, and that is rare. So take that for what it’s worth. But it’s priceless to me.

Back to the gear, waterproof stuff is so cool. I was looking at a Pelican laptop case. The thing is seriously watertight, dust proof etc. That’s what I’m talking about. Granted I may not ever require that kind of protection for a laptop. But I like just knowing I can get it. It’s sort of like knowing that although you’ll probably never call them, this one person would listen if you did, but just in a materialistic geek kinda way.

Jungle Hammocks. Those are neat too. But I kinda doubt I’ll need one in San Isidro. We’ll see.

Alright, well I’m gonna go try and find some food.
