You are in "".

From May 17th - 24th 2008 I think I’m going to try and plan a trip to Hatteras NC for kite-boarding camp.

mind you, that says 2008.

Planning Vacation is so ridiculous. This is especially true when you have a 3 year calendar on your wall with class dates scheduled through February of 2009. I get about 11 weeks off over the course of a year, which isn’t terrible. It’s just a matter of timing. Outside of the four weeks in August, there aren’t really any breaks of consecutive weeks without class.

Anyway if you’re interested in learning the ways of the kite, you have about 9 months to think it over. We’ll talk about this again in January of 2008.

Also, potential new t-shirt silk screen design. Comments?

I don’t know if I like the text. It might be better with just the image.

I had to stop by Dick Blick’s Art store to pick up some materials for silk screening this past Saturday. As I walked in, I heard the sweet melodies of Journey playing over the loudspeaker. I strolled over to the silk screening section to investigate photo emulsions.

As I stood, perusing the options, a store dude, Jonathan, approached.

Jonathan: Hello!
Mike D: hi!
Jonathan: How are you doing today?
Mike D: quite well, you?
Jonathan: Well, being that Journey is playing, I’m doing awesome.
Mike D (in partial awe): YES! I… I totally agree!
Jonathan: Journey makes everything better.
Mike D: Yes! Absolutely!

so then we talk briefly about silk screening and I go about my business. I finally make my choice and move up to the counter. Jonathan and co-worker Kayleigh(sp?) are talking more about Journey.

Mike D: You know, there’s something about Journey. No one does not like Journey.
Jonathan: Agreed.
Mike D: Once I was traveling with a friend who was only partially okay with Journey, and there was a rock block on the radio. So we heard two journey songs in a row. Then, I switched stations to find yet ANOTHER rock block of journey. 4 more Journey tunes! We got 6 songs in a row!
Kayleigh: That’s awesome!
Mike D: It was great!
Kayleigh to Jonathan: there’s a karaoke bar in Prospect that has a Huge selection of songs. And they totally have Journey. We should really go.
Jonathan: Yes we should.

Jonathan then turned to me.

Jonathan: You should come too.
Mike D: I’m totally game! Yes.
Jonathan: Leave your e-mail address, I’ll send you an e-mail.

Once again, Journey has brought people together.

What an awesome band.

A new shirt is being made for the upcoming company breakfast.

Check it out:

If you’d like one of these bad boys, I’m willing to make extras for $8 a piece (plus shipping if I have to ship it).

Let me know if you want one (along with what size you’d want S,M,or L)!
