Ben Caught a fish.

FIRST and foremost, I apologize to anybody who may read this, whether it be by their own personal will, or just by merely stumbling upon it. However, it is quite difficult to discover a starting point for a blog entry when the writer hasn't posted anything for such a long amount of time. So, I figure I will just do a short layout of why my summer is starting to be, and few things that my summer may entail as well.

QUITE frankly... My summer vacation from school has gotten off to a rather shitty start. I cannot recall a time in the past where I have been so bored in my entire life. I know what your thinking... "Ned, get of your lazy toosh and do something!" Well, I've tried. And over and over I find myself doing the same thing ... every ... single ... day. I wake in the morning. I think about taking a shower first but then soon realize that I have nothing important to do the rest of the day, so I delay the washing process and proceed to walk about the house in no orderly fashion. I'll drag my my body lazily to the refridgerator to gaze upon a vast empty space, hoping and wishing that some sort of tastebud tickling treat will appear; it never does. So I turn around to the pantry and eat a few saltine crackers and I'm on my way to the outdoors, for a short travel through my vacant yard. That doesn't last very long, so I continue onward towards the safe confines of my household where I hope something exciting awaits me. Nothing does. I sit at the kitchen table and read a newspaper that is three days old, but is nonetheless still news to me, for I have not kept up on any current events due to my "dull drool" state of mind. And then I brilliant idea causes my thinking light bulb to actually explode and I think out loud with my finger point high towards the ceiling, "I'll go fishing!" I fish for hours and if luck is on my side that day, I'll catch about two fish. I then realize that my day suck and is being carried out exactly the same as each previous day since school has been let out. Plan "F" now comes into effect (mainly because plan A through E have failed me yet again). I call Zachery Frailey. He usually comes to my house, and we then repeat the exact same process that I already ventured through earlier in the day. The day ends with Zach and I searching for something to eat and only finding pretzels and hershey's syrup. That is precisely how my life has been playing out.

HOWEVER, I have plans to change all of this. My plans consist of getting a job and earning money. With that money, I hope to take a long weekend (friday through monday) trip to Niagara Falls with Zachery Frailey and my brother Benjamin Kimmel, to gamble a little bit and consume some fine beverages. There is also a family vacation planned to take place in the beginning of August that will take us to Barry's Bay, Ontario. The excitement for the family vacation continues to build each day. Having fun and carrying on with friends many nights will also be thrown in there throughout the length of the summer. That is what I hope to occur throughout the rest of the summer.

SO, as you can see, my summer has not gotten off to the best of starts. But from my point of view, the drivers seat of the vehicle that life gave me (1992 Ford Aspire), there is light at the end of the tunnel. I just hope that I can get there with out breaking down.
