Deerfield Fair...(Or as I call it, Derfield)...

Well, I am back for an update...As most of you know, The Derfield Fair was this weekend. I went, and had a good time, wandering around by myself. I went on Friday and Saturday. On Friday, I saw some friends from AGAPE...that was a nice thing...Besides that, I saw some cool candles being made Those were very nice...and it is all wax...they use a glaze to make it glossy looking....I also made a friend...his name is Joe...That is him below...that rhymes!



I also liked the Army National Guard tents... There, they had a competition...more like a challenge. Anyone who could do (For Guys: 25 pushups; 30 situps. For ladies: 17 pushups; 30 situps) in one minute, got a prize. I tried...and failed. I did 30 pushups, and 28 situps. Then I tried "mock" shooting an M16A2 Rifle...I got 5/5 with no help. Then I tried the Rock climb...I passed that no problem. I talked with some of the people...and I decided that I was interested and I will be setting up an appointment with a recruiter some time in the near future...maybe, if I find time.

But the best part of the two days...was seeing the Ancient Order of the Hibernians Pipe & DrumsBand. A Scotish Bagpipes and Drum band..They played songs like "Amazing Grace", "America", "When the Saints Come Marching In", "Yankee Doodle", and "Scotland the Brave" That song has a lot of power...it brings hundreds of years swirling around you...That song was one of the songs played when the ancient Scots went to battle. If you closed your eyes and let yourself go, and listened to the music, you could hear the sounds of battle, the shouts of dying men, the whinning of dying horses along with the clash of sabres...it brought tears to my eyes...being Scotish and all...well, I have pictures of these people...






That is all for right now, I am tired from my travels...But first, We have a winner fro my little quiz...and teh results are in...In first with 9 points was Miss A.G.
The runner up with 8 points was Miss H.G.

As some has noticed it's been a awhile since I've "Updated." Well, I just did...so there.

When Peace Like a River...

Well, It is time to update again...sort of. I have been thinking, too much for my own good probably.
I have been thinking about this upcoming year school year. I am now ready for it. I can now smile at the future...I am myself once again. I am accepting this school year like an elderly person accepts death. They don't want to die, because they will leave their loved ones. (To all my friends, I love ya.) At the same time though, they are glad, for the pain of life to be over. They enjoy life while they can.

Anyway, I was talking to a friend that says something about his friends and what he would do for them and how he would follow them to the end of the world. It reminds me of a song that says the following..

"I don't know what I'd do if my friends left me...
I'd pack up my things and go with them."

That is what I would do for my friends.

Anyway, Things are looking up, although, I am sunburnt...that isn't fun at all. I don't know if what I said earlier made any sense, Oh well, I am tired.

I head back to the Frozen Rock State that is called New Hampshire. Agape starts in...3 days, 11 hours, and 22 minutes from NOW. That will be exciting to see everyone...a little overwelming but, bearable. I wonder If anybody missed me at all during the summer...I guess I will see soon.

I think I understand the way I have been acting...it is because I haven't been with my friends...like, AT ALL! With a few exceptions...Those exceptions I will cherish always.


Um...that is all from me for now...I may update tomorrow or Sunday...or maybe even Monday if I go to the DMV ;-)

Goodbye All...see ya'll in 4 days.

Work...and Coffee, and Rain...All is Good...

Well, Today is Tueday, and Brad worked, and had a good time doing it. It was rainy as usual...but that is good. Brad likes the rain, he enjoys the sound it makes, and the feel of it. Brad arrived at his work place at...oh...7:15. The day starts at 8:00. So, Brad was early and he spent his time eating a Breakfast sandwhich he got at Saint Dunkin of Donuts. When Brad's partner arrived at 8:15, they went to the boss to recieve their orders. Their mission, Make a Plot-plan. They went and did their mission with no problem. Brad and Pete went back to the boss and then they recieved a new mission, measure, the depth of the sewers on such-and-such a road...they went obediently. On the way, they came to an intersection...there was a school bus turning on to their road. But this bus driver wasn't paying attention; as he was turning, he was turning too shallow. He ended up coming CENTIMETERS away from bumping into them. This was crazy, but normal in CT. Anyway, then, the two surveyors arrived at their destination...such-and-such a road. There were three sewers on this road. So, to keep all instruments clean, we made a diaper for the measurring stick..out of...SAINT DUNKIN of DONUTS bags. and flagging. All Brad has to say was that these sewers stunk! By then, It was raining HARD...Brad's favorite of rains. Then Brad went home at 5:00 pm-ish. End of story.

That was pretty much my day. 7 days till AGAPE...someone kill me please. I can't stand the sense of foreboding, and waiting and such...why can't time speed up?...On a random note, I know how to slow speed. Her eare the two ways...

1) Travel faster than light.
2) Take a sixth period Economics class... ;-)

Anyway, I wish I had my camera...yes, my cheap digital. I need a new one...maybe I will get a better one with my paycheck. Just maybe.

Um...what else can I say...hmmm. Ah! My grandparents are holding an Octoberfest in two weeks...It is basically a German themed festival...I believe...complete with beer kegs, authentic dress, and the works. Guess who is to be the parking attendant *raises hand* You bet. Me. I will take pictures if I can then put them up here when I am done...That is all from me...

Brad OUT

Is Gone...


For those that know, I had a vent post here earlier, it is now gone, and that makes me glad. To those that read it, I am sorry. To those that sent me an e-Slap-upside-the-head, I thank you for it...though my head still hurts. ;-)

That is all...See ya in 11 days...maybe sooner.

Brad
