I was gonna write a lot, but I just became really tired.
While I was sitting in church today, I was sort of reminiscing of the past. Way back in the day, back before my oldest brother went to West Point, which would've been any of the summers before 6th grade........anyway, if it was supposed to be nice on sunday, my two brothers would go to the earliest church service (7:30) and then get out to the lake as soon as possible. See, at the lake that we used to go to, the park staff would only allow a certain number of boats on at one time. So even though my brothers would get there early, they would still have to sit in a long line for a couple of hours. But by the time me and my parents got there, my brothers would have the boat on the lake and we would be all set to go.
As I got older, I would go along with them and help out.....especially if my oldest bro was back from the Point, 'cause I would usually hang out with him a lot at the lake.......my other brother was usually tied up with his girlfriend.............but anyway, I remember one day when my oldest bro and I went to the lake early to get ready for the rest of the family. Of course we expected my parents to be there in a few hours, so we only grabbed like one can of pop on the way out the door. Yeah...........they didn't come until about 3 or 4 in the afternoon. Apparently they "forgot" about us. Luckily, though, my oldest bro had the hookup with a lot of the workers and the lake and we got free popcorn and stuff to survive the afternoon.
They reason I shared this lil memory with ya, is that I've noticed that the last couple of years, I haven't had much fun during the summer. It's been pretty much blah. It's like I've forgotten how to have fun......actually, I think it's because my brothers aren't really around anymore. They were the ones that got the boat all ready to go and stuff. So with them being gone, nothing really gets done anymore. So my point is, my summer so far has been pretty bad. I need to start doing some stuff on my days off, or I'm gonna hate myself in the fall. I need your guys' help. If you're ever doing anything....no matter how small.....give my house a call. I'm either going to be be there, be online, or be at work. Sad, but true. Help me. My days as a young person are running out. help.
