so, i know my blog entries are extremely spaced out, only briefly touch on said subjects, or are just full of lists that you probably don't understand most of the highlights anyway... oh, and random weird current photos.

but i can't help but do it sometimes.

this weekend, i spent my time in wisconsin with a big group of people where i only knew one other person. i was totally the minority, not only because a lot of them were friends, but because i was the only white person, minus 1. but he was the boyfriend of the girl who organized the whole thing so he ultimately had seniority over everything basically. i felt like i had to be cool the whole time and prove i wasn't just an ignorant white person and didn't just want to tan in the sun the entire time. so, i worked extra hard to pick up the area and roast people marshmallows. we had a blast. we drove up to wiscansan, canoed, stayed on an island, lit fireworks, had a fire, etc. oh, this was a funny thing that happened... so christian brought a tent but it was literally meant for a 4 year old to sleep in by himself or herself. so, we called this club tent. next to us were two dudes that were really really cool, oh wait.. one of them was white too.. oops. anyway, so next to us was club blue (their tent). i guess this wouldn't be funny to anyone but us. anyway, these dudes were really funny. i hope i can be friends with them. anyway, now i have a barbecued nose.

this one guy on the trip has been traveling all over with and without his girlfriend. she has been traveling too, separately sometimes, together other times. anyway, the dude got a grant to paint murals with kids in brazil. what? that's so cool. so he's been traveling all around painting murals with children and staying places for free. man, i should at least start coloring or something.

the world cup has started my summer (oh wait, i'm not even done with school yet--speaking of, i'm two days away from graduating!) fantastically. it makes every single one of my days better. i'm rooting for england. i root for them all year long in the premiere league and i feel like i'm being a loyal fan. plus, their country has a huge appreciation and respect for a sport i love... and it seems to be something that most americans don't really care for. and i am part english. but, that's last. i think that's a cop out... to root for a team only because your family does or because it's where you're from. i just don't really know if it honestly makes any sense? that'd be like me wearing dale earnhart jr clothing because my stepdad used to watch the nascar races all the time. dude, i look way better in soccer gear. see?

and no, i don't watch the olympics and if i did, i probably wouldn't root for the us.

anyway, watching soccer, talking about soccer, having the news revolve around soccer.. yeah, that's not half bad.

i wish i had screenshots of every single change i've ever made to my facebook profile, aol profiles, aim profiles, etc. wouldn't that be interesting to see? we're in a time where everything is public and nothing is private, we're an internet jungle. and i think viewing the changes would be so cool. i bet my old aol profile looked something like this:
