Well, it's that time again, time to update the page.  Well this past weekend I tripped down to Florida to go surfing in a wave pool in Typhoon Lagoon with friends, and with the lead singer of Sister Hazel.  It was pretty fun, but a long story, so check it out in it's own section under Past Experiences, etc.  Not too much has been happening lately other than a few things.  I found out from my dad on the answering machine yesterday morning that I had been finally accepted into NC State.  I'm still waiting to hear from Denison, University of Denver, and Wake Forest.  Tonight me, Kent and Geoff spent the evening at the mall playing.  :)  We went to one toy store and spent forever digging through a huge metal cage-like basket filled with small stuffed animals, looking for cool ones.  We did find one rather unique one that warranted purchase.  It's a small purple bean bag animal that looks like a beaver, but also kinda like a gerbil.  Over some delicious Chick-Fil-A, he was dubbed Herbal the Purple Gerbil.  Everybody keeps telling me it's a hamster, but they're not going to limit my imagination are they now?  We also decided he was naked and that demanded clothes so he wouldn't be arrested for indecent exposure.  Within minutes a shirt had been crafted from one of those paper fry bags.  We also spent a great deal of time in a nother toy store with lots of cool gizmo type toys.  They had a captivating laser projecter that I wanted, but the price tag was a little too steep for the pockets of a man trying to do a road trip in two months.  But they also had some other stuff that was able to keep our attention for a long time.  The mall was fun tonight no matter how much Dan wants to slam it.  :)  Something else that has been a recent intrigue for me lately is a book I checked out of the Wake Forest library lately.  It's entitled Storming Heaven and it's by a guy named Jay Stevens.  It's all about the growth of psychedelic drugs in society starting at the beginning of modern society's discovery.  There's a lot of familiar names in it.  Aldous Huxley, Ken Kesey, and Timothy Leary to mention a few, but there's also a lot of people that had a great deal of influence in that realm of society at the time that you don't hear much about.  I don't want to get into the book too much here, because I know it will turn into a long rambling paragraph that may lose your interest if you haven't read the book.  But I wil say that Storming Heaven is more than a book about the drug culture, it's the study and the impacts and the various uses and discoveries of various drugs related to LSD, peyote, mascaline, etc.  There are a lot of tidbits of info and various philosophies that can really make you think and reflect hours after you put down the book.  I've ordered the book through Barnes and Nobles, and hopefully I'll have my own personal copy to add to my library in 6 weeks or less.  I would definitely suggest checking this book out if you're interested in this sort of thing.  Well, that should just about do it for this update, after all, this is an update, and not a book, :)  Until next time....
