Sorry its late but well tired, busy actually enjoying my summer for a change has caused me not to update much...sooo the SHOCKING CONCLUSION OF LETTERS FROM CAMP!!!!!
SPOILERS! (Click to view)
Letters from Camp Days 3 and 4
Dear Daron:
DAMMIT!!! It's FRAKKEN HOT!!! I mean miserable haven't slept good at all kinda of HOT, hot when you wake up kinda hot.
I finally woke up and fell out of my bunk cube. MY bunkmate bigpoppa99 was up and watching me. "You know I fell out of bed last night right?" he says I say oh yeah, i know. Our other bunkmate Sharona1881 shushed us because our whisper was too loud. He looks at me and falls back into bed. I grab my gear quietly and schlep outside and down toward the showers. There wasnt really a line really and I just waited. There is a trick to the showering, if ur the only one in the stalls your more likely to get Hot water....so i finally get in there and SURE ENOUGH 3 or 4 minutes of warm water with spurts of cool, to OMG COLD to cool to warm, to OMG TOO COLD.
By then more people had made their way down to the communal Shower area, that's where most of the best conversations were heard. I learned about Porn(alot of People like Belladonna and her freakiness and people Like Bangbros....hahaha met someone who worked for Hustler and some other places to download the stuff, also a request to burn some of my stash to dvd) Walked back up to Camp NY(much easier with sneakers) and sat in the Star Wars Chair(the chair never made it to the community area and I'm glad it didnt, so many chairs got broken) Coffee was made and discussions of what to do that day were talked about as well, some were going back to the river. Threw out the, you taking a van? *sigh* not many chuckles...I know, i can't help my thought processes, years of constant TV has influenced me. There was going to be Poker playing too which I was itching to do....
So we all departed, some went swimming. I was going to bring my bag of activities with me but again got stopped at the community shower area, this time I dont remember the conversations but they varied. I know i was there for at least 90minutes and finally made it to the pavillion, they were in the middle of a game so I waited it out....
Had some doritos(ooo so so so good....i hate junk food but I was hungry and had the munchies....now if I had Ice tea it would've been great)I learned texas hold-em which is still fresh in my head, the more i play the better I'll get, I won a round and had rent MONEY but alas lost it and was the first person out of the mini-tourney. We played for I think 2 more hours or something, i can't remember. Finally we stopped because the BUFFET and Wedding was coming up.
Now I was cooking some ribs. 6 racks actually(THANK YOU BJ's WHOLESALE CLUB) and chicken... There was also a wedding or rather a sharing of vows(i didn't get to see it but I heard it). Not too mention there was some baton twirling(saw a glimpse of that) and awards given out. I was in the Cook Pit, trying to get grills to get super hot and having a crappy time. We got the ribs out and they went fast. Then had to cook the chicken which wasnt cooking fast the way I wanted. The Damn Briquettes didnt burn or burn out quickly...soo long oh so so long, til finally someone brough wood down which gave it a nice pine smell but worked like a charm that and along with the bringing down of mar charcoal all the time helped alot. Some people got mad, words were exchanged, things were thrown, c word was used. Apparently it was already midnight and I didnt know that...Chicken had to be put back on the grill. burnt my fingers, sweated alot, no ice tea to calm my nerves so we were done, cleaned up as much as possible and walked up to the communal area for the Wet T-shirt contest WOOHOOOOO WOOOHOOOO...
While waiting for that to go down, made the rounds and said hello, received some compliments about my ribs and stuff. vowed that things would be different next year for the cooking.
Found a log to sit on and was passed an interesting mixture of alcohol called an Apple Pie, now its soo sweet and soo good. I had a full cup and took my time drinking. The Wet Tshirt contest consisted of 4 or 5 young ladies. Water was poured. Dancing and then more water. Narrowed down to like 3 then the winner. It was great. So after that, a little quiet time as I nursed my apple pie. There was a game played called pass the hat or something where u take out a slip and have to do what it says...let's see i saw alot of male on male kissing, 1 or 2 times very enthusiastic. Someone trying to act like a hopezilla with a 13th rejected set(i'll fill you in later) and weird masterbating stories(like, one person once jerked off to his wife's pic when she was 13yrs old) that got a collective ewww around the campfire. The Jug was passed along and I had some more, I was tired and woozy and it was already after 3am...so I stumbled down the rocky road back to the treehouse, talked with Bigpoppa for a few minutes and dragged a pillow and me blankie down to the car to sleep(i couldnt sleep in that cube anymore... Adjusted the seat, rolled the windows down, put on my headphones and was out in minutes.
Let me tell you this, it wasn't that bad, got a better sleep in the car then in the cube, oh yeah i saw someone sleeping on the lawn while walking to the car.
Day 4 will be short....
Loaded up my stuff from the BBQ into the car, washed the dishes, cleaned my face. There was talk about going to Denny's after for some real breakfast/lunch which is why I wanted to get on the road or at least follow the caravan(actually the porn conversation happened Today too). Maneuvered the car back up to our camping area to start packing, i am glad it wasnt as much going back. But still a helluva a time driving over the rocks, turning around and stuff. Cleaned up the campsite< soo happy a truck came by and let us put their garbage on it.
We were on the road by 11:45... GOd Bless the GPS. Did have to detour to get gas. Then on the road, it seemed it wasnt as expensive coming home as going down. I know 1 thing, my butt was hurting and I was cramping in my leg. Non stop driving through Maryland and then through Delaware, hit the bridge and all the traffic was on the northbound side of the bridge into delaware...i mean OMG it was just traffic. Get back to jersey around 3 or 4 something and finally have to stop.
I noticed that northbound turnpike was bumper to bumper all the down, it was shocking. Had some Roy Rogers chicken and Ice tea FINALLY!!!(how come there are only Roys on the Parkway and Turnpike and maybe livingston mall but not just anywhere else. Heard there delays all into the isle of Manhattan which didnt sound good for our weary travelers. But took the pike to the lincoln tunnel which actually wasnt bad at all to Queens Midtown tunnel then dropped my passengers off. This was around 6 something. Took several tries to get back on some blvd to get fuel to get back home and made it back to jersey, windows rolled down, music blasting, the trip was over. I did it. I made it through ECCT 2008 CAMPING without any hitches save for well, alot of mosquito bites and itchiness. Got home(stopped for Ice tea first) brought the perishables back in and took a shower before touching the bed, It was after 9 when I got home, it didnt take long for me to fall asleep....
And that is my summary of my camping trip.
Summer classes are over finally. I saw Santa Sangre by Alejandro Jodorowsky which is soo out there and i bet if you are High would even be better, I missed Zombie 2 by fulci, didnt want to sit through Suspiria again. and finally Dont look now, if you can rent these films and give them a look see.
I learned that I need knee surgery over vacation. Bad knees cutting into my knee, good knees is....hopefully no more pain and off for a month at least. God I should finish a script or something by then...
I've seen alot of the summer films and so far i havent been disappointed at all...Wall E made me cry...loved the little guy. Beautiful film but sad at times but loved it....I like Wall *E* he's up there with R2D2 as my fave droid now...
Dark Knight of course!!!! I mean AMAZING!!! Pencil Trick...WATCHMEN TRAILER WAS GREAT
Iron MAN AWESOME!!!!!
Incredible Hulk, Incredibly GOOD!!!! hahahaha
Hellboy II was good, flaws yes loved the characters and their comfortability, loved Luke Goss and I thought Nuala was hot with the red eyes and the mythology, the story was ok, but then again the first script was just meh too, what made it good were the characters. I also like Johann Krauss I was soo waiting for a Peter Griffith or Stewie or something to come out of that voice but nope.
Hancock wasnt bad, flaws and plot holes but wasnt bad for simple summer viewing.
Hated WAnted..TOO many flawed logic steps
Had a very good Diner event at Tick Tock here in Jersey with some SGNJers and SGNYers. Great turnout, got to play with an Iphone 3G(oooooooooooo) and then we went out for ice cream at Applegate Farm in Montclair, i got a taste of cake batter ice cream( LOVED IT) So i'm glad everyone had a good time...
And that's about it....
Dark Knight was great. The pencil trick was painful to see! Iron Man was also great (LOVED the bit after the credits), though Hulk was not quite as good. Hellboy II was soooo pretty - del Torro should have done Spiderwick, damnit.
