Harry Potter and Canoeing

Today was a happy day after I finally got out of bed. I didn't have fun then.

We went to sunday school, picked up Joe, had 10 people sitting in a car made for 7, so the floor became extra seating. We ate lunch, met up with Caleb, then all 11 of us drove to the canoe place. For some reason, everyone but Joe thought that Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon was not cool. We did a 6 mile trip down the Little Miami River. The boat was Joe, Tanner and I. We rocked.

We had this thing that we had to be the first, always ahead of the pack, and we would do anything to make sure we got and stayed that way. This involved me doing crazy things and getting hurt. Joe would steer and Tanner would bail us out and cover for me when I needed to do things. Things like jump out of the boat and push over rocks, things like jump into another boat and tip it over then swim back to our boat. I did one very stupid thing, which was stand up in the very front of the boat so I could see the rocks and attempt to avoid them. This was stupid because if I missed just once, I would go tumbling head first into said rocks. Guess what? I missed.

Anyways, it was a good time for all. We came home to the rest of Dark Side of the Moon and then commenced Haloage. Then we ate some great Mexican food, and I drove Joe home. We just got finished playing Boggle.

I read Harry Potter recently. I read it from 11pm to 6:30 am saturday night sunday morning after it came out. It was an amazing experience. I had a stash of food, the book was amazing, and it was a ton of fun. I recommend everyone to read every Harry Potter book. I would rate this one around the third or fourth in quality. It sets up for a great seventh book while being really good in its own right. Good theories to discuss after the book is over.

I love hanging out with my friends. It is just so casual and funny. Nick Raymond and I were hanging around the fair last night with my sister and some of her freinds. We made jokes the whole time (Q: why did the dead baby cross the road?) and had sister and her friends unable to breathe. Nick had some Bunny Pulp in his bunny juice, and the bunny juice landed on his chicken alfredo.

Lyrics? yes.

Way down here, you need a reason to move. Feel a fool running your stateside games.
Lose your load, leave your mind behind, Baby James.
Woh, Mexico, it sounds so simple, I just got to go.
The sun's so hot I forgot to go home, guess I'll have to go now.

"Americano" got the sleepy eye but his body's still shaking like a live wire.
Sleepy señorita with the eyes on fire.
Woh, Mexico. It sounds so sweet with the sun sinking low.
Moon's so bright, like to light up the night, make everything all right.

Baby's hungry and the money's all gone.
The folks back home don't want to talk on the phone.
She gets a long letter, sends back a postcard, times are hard.
Woh, down in Mexico, I never really been so I don't really know.
And oh, Mexico, I guess I'll have to go.
Woh, Mexico, I never really been so I don't really know.
And oh, Mexico, I guess I'll have to go now.
Talking bout Mexico. Big ol’ honkey-tonk down in Mexico.
