Update

Hello All,

It's been a little while since I have posted and felt like it was a good time to update all of you.
Compared to May, June has been fast paced and entertaining.
 
Fun:

My weekends have been good. I've been able to go surfing and downhill mountain biking wich is awesome. The surf was pretty bad when I went. My dad tried to surf too. It was fun.
The following weekend I went up to my condo in NH to go mtbking for Father's day. My dad had fun, I had fun, it was fun. I should be going this weekend with Guillaume and THE CHAMP. It's going to be epic. 


Party:

My sisters have had lots of parties lately since they are both done school. UNfortunately being the only sibling with a license I am often "the mom". I take them there, watch everyone get drunk, and take them home. Its still lots of fun to hang out with peeps from my school. Yesterday was the last party at my friends Thomas house. It was fairly low key and a bit sad since we won't be seeing any of them for a long time. I have also been able to observe my sister Mo under the influence of the crunk juice and have come to the conclusion that she is a very lightweight. I'm already worried for Frosh. MO GUY if you have her be nice hehe.

Family:

My parents are doing well, my youngest sister is happy to be done school and can't wait for France (she leave monday?) and my older sister is very happy to have graduated. She passed her BAC ES two weeks ago and pwned my scores. Her entire class did very well. She also got some special international award thing. I'm proud of her and glad she is coming up to McGill next year.

Job:

My job is going well, the project that we are working on is moving forward and we are starting to get interesting results. I have to write up some sort of scientific document this weekend that they intend to put in their grant. I'm quite stoked on that. 

Overall I'm quite happy. I can't wait to go to Argentina.  I leave the 4th of July and will be staying in Buenos Aires with some friends for three days and then I'll be heading out to Bariloche for 4 weeks of pure awesomeness. 

I hope that all of you are doing well and hope to keep getting news from you guys.
I'm looking forward to the end of august and seeing all of you.

My Summer Thus Far

So ya I deleted facebook everyone if you haven't noticed which makes my life a whole more drama free but also prevents me from staying in touch as much as I ought to. My e-mail is mreed2289@gmail.com, and my IM is relativesanity88 so I can be reached throught those if you want.
The summer midpoint is fast approaching which scares the shit out of me. I have done nothing yet. I mean, I have been babysitting and occasionally doing some office work for Cheap Sumer Help, but besides that my life consists of reading, going to the gym, and hanging out with friends during the evenings. Doesn't sound bad, and it wasn't at first, but I am so freaking antsy it is beginning to drive me crazy. It doesn't help that most of you guys are having awesome adventures and I am stuck in this podunk town.
The only reason I came home this summer was to work and be with Kevin, and neither have happened yet. My job starts (finally) on Saturday, which is nice and will give me some routine. It is a waitressing job that I landed probably three weeks ago, but its for a new restaurant and the construction kept falling behind schedule, postponing my training. I told them I wanted to work 25-30 hours a week, so hopefully over two months that will add up. I have ample money saved, so I really don't need a whole lot, but I am planning on doing a (probably unpaid) internship next summer so I need extra.
On the Kevin front... well we broke up. I'm not going to pour my heart out here but even though it was probably for the best it sucks ass, has ruined so many of my summer plans and aspirations, and has left a huge void in my life, which only emphasizes the fact that I have been a bum so far this summer. We haven't talked in two weeks and it is kind of killing me, but I'll get through it.
My family is coming up from Miami on Thursday and my sister and Nana are visiting from Connecticut as well, and it will be really nice to see everyone together. Also it means everyone will be around for my birthday which will be a first. I'll probably do stuff (get drunk) Saturday night with friends and then spend Sunday with family. I normally spend birthdays with Kevin so I am really grateful I will have a house full of family to distract me.
Otherwise life is boring, I went to the beach once, took a trip to Montreal by myself just to clear my mind a little, and helped my Mom move into her summer cottage sh just got in Maine.

I hope everyone is doing well and enjoying themselves and the sun!

SENGA - Your trip sounds amazing, I have been to Portugal and stayed in both Lisbon and the Algarve and both are beautiful; I hope your adventures only get better!
ALICE - I love you tons, I hope your Mumsy is doing better
MO GIRL - I doubt you read this but if you do I love you and happy birthday and I will shoot you an e-mail as soon as I get your address!
SEB - I hope you've been finding things to do, its going to be a lot of family time this week but maybe next we can find a time to hang out
MO - I just saw you, and thanks for the VT hospitality
NICK - Thats sick about frisbee, looking forward to your other posts
MADDY - If and when you get a chance to read this know I hope your jungle excursions have been phenomenal!

Yo




Yo. A lot has been going on in my life. Sorry for not keeping you guys updated. Going to do a 3 post thing.

Frisbee
Been playing on Tuesdays with the Nashville men’s team, they have gotten way better but aren’t a nationals level team so my friend Markham (southwest freshman of the year) and two of our friends at Davidson are starting a men’s club team to play in the series with. If we can get the numbers we are expecting, we should have a shot at the backdoor game to go in the South Region. It’s tight. We are going to be a sky patrol team.
Last weekend was Poultry Days – one of the (if not the) most legit tournaments each year. It’s located in Versailles (pronounced Ver-sails) Ohio, which is in the middle of nowhere. 48 Teams this year, tons of ballers, Callahan winners, world’s players, etc. 6 of us carpooled up Friday afternoon, stayed in a hotel b/c it was stormy, (got some sweet big spoon [still good] action with a supa fine lady, she has a boyfriend … lame) and then we played 5 games on Saturday. And we fucking rolled. Games to 11, no one scored more than six points on us. One of the teams (Breast and Thighs) had two guys who had made the US Worlds team and were at the tryout and I fucking them the whole game, it was disgusting. Party Saturday Night, beerfriz and many other drinking games, my brother ended up basically begging his way into a girl’s tent. Sunday we won our prequarters game, and then were up against a team of ballers (Chain Lightning/Ozone combination team, lots of guys from Georgia/ATL) Chain and Ozone both got top eight at Nationals. We went up early on them (I played d-line mainly) and we got 3 breaks, to get a 3-1 lead. They came back strong and screwed our o-team, and then the score was
9-7 them. We finally converted on O, and then the D-line rolled. At 12-11 us I got a clutch d, and then we scored of a deep huck to Markham. We skied bitches so much that game. I fucking hate those chumps, and we pwned them.
Basically all our old handler guys mailed it in (gave up, were content with semi’s finish) during the semi-finals game and had a horrible completion rate (even though we got three breaks of the bat making it 3-1 us again in the semis). Still I had some awesome catches, d’s, etc. I was so psyched with our team, tying for 3rd out of 48 not bad. We are going to roll this fall in the club series.
Anyways it was a sick tournament, the chicken dinner was delicious (they sell like 30,000 it’s a huge festival, Miss Chick competition, carival, etc.)
P.S. I got sunburned badly, but whatevs, I took a picture with the computer but it doesn’t do the farmer’s tan (redneck/etc.) justice. Oh yeah, and you probably will notice I shaved my head for the first time in my life.
P.S.S. Two more posts coming sometime tomorrow probably while at work.

So...

I leave for less than 2 weeks, and Alex has a girlfriend (see Facebook), Alice moves to Montreal, Maddy leaves to Panama, Mo gets hit by a car, Seb is stoked on getting an iPhone (and went surfing),Spiva has dissappeared (? anybody got any updates from Spiva ?) and Maia unfriends me on Facebook? What a couple of weeks!

Portugal is sweet! The trip is good, that's all I've got for now.

Maia add me of Facebook. Immediately. I can't find you either. Must be setting the tone...

Anyways hope all is well with all of you!

To quote Brian Peebles (and Bob Marley before him) "One Love".

PEACE

last night

hey guys,

last night i was biking from a friends house around 1230 am. i was biking on one of the main roads with my rear red blinker light on so people could see me. i was hit from behind by a car which took off after the incident. like literally the front of the car destroyed my rear wheel. i was thrown off my bike and tumbled on the pavement. i thought i was going to black out, started seeing stars and felt dizzy. i waved another car down to stay with me so i didnt lose consciousness. i called my parents and then 911 which arrived in like 1 min while i was calling. they took me to the ER because i was concerned of having a concussion or something worse. i recieved road rash on both of my hands, left knee and both elbows as well as my back. I also got 4 staples in my head from 2 small head wounds. my whole body feels fucking sore as hell right now. i spent about 2 hrs in the ER getting patched up (most of it was for waiting though) and then another hour at the police station to testify. the car and its driver have not been found yet.


I'm alright though, no concussion, nothing broken, no internal damage. i'm just bruised and sore, really sore. which is fucking lucky. i didnt wear a helmet and got hit by the car going like 40 mph from the back. it could have been a whole lot worse.

please be careful when you are biking/driving/walking at night. wear a helmet if you bike.

and getting staples in your head feels soooo weird. its like a small section of my head is a little tighter together. atleast they come out in 7-10 days.

later kids

edit: by request of alice, here are some pictures of my injuries...couldnt get the staples in my head though..

weekend

sup fools,

just got back from a weekend in boston, which was sooooo amazing. i got to see seb and maia in their respective habitats. It was also sebs bday on saturday so we had some sweet brazillian food and went Gokart racing the next day.

on saturday i arrived at maias house which was in the woods in carlisle sp?. her family is super nice, seb and i even got served breakfast on a tray by Glenn (maias dad) the next day. wow I am punctuating weird...oh well. maia showed me around her town which was super small but nice. next the both of us drove to sebs house where we chilled for a little and then went out and had dins. sebs dad is a like a kid, its hilarious and has the same smile as seb does. after brazillian food we went to a party at one of maias friends houses. we some some people we knew like jack and peter and played some ruit...we even held the table for 4 games (thats me and seb, my first game i played with maia and we sucked :p)

the next day maia had to go babysitting from 10-2, so seb and I hung out at Reed mansion, cleaened the pool which had a dead shrew in it, did some wicked flips into the pool and watched some tv. shaun of the dead is a funny movie, and seb put on this car mechanics show for a while... we then went out to SORENTO'S which had spicy finger pizza, which is basically pizza with buffalo wing bits on it and sauce. its delicious. we then waited for maia to get back and i took the kids back to sebs house, where we then went from to go gokarting, hwihc was mad fun and I obviously won the race, some people (maia and seb) might dispute this, but trust me, I kicked their asses... after gokart we went back to sebs for dins and then i drove maia home. after some halo i crashed in maddys bed (sebs sister).

today i went to the german consulate in boston to get my passport renewed and then drove home. just took a nap and now i am bored again so I am writing this. it might've been a little boring to read but w/e... thanks again maia and seb you guys were super nice and i loved both of your families...roadtrip up to vermont soooooon!

oh and i might go up to mtl next weekend to see death cab for cutie, which should be awesome.
