Getting All Nostalgic
I started this Blog a long time ago…(November of 2002) It was originally a place for me too post possible concerts I wanted to go to, it was nothing to be looked at, just a list…but then when I decided to go to Alaska for the summer. I decided that intstead of mass-emailing and other crap like that, I would just put it on here. This blog has proved to be a fun passtime for myself, and a good way to remember what happens over the course of the year. I hope that all of you have enjoyed my musings and continue to read and leave comments. Anyone can leave comments by typing in the sidebar to the right,by clicking the “email me” link to the left or by becoming a member and clicking on the comment link at the bottom of every post.

Backpacking Recap
I had a very fun time backpacking with Dave. We hilked 20 miles, saw snakes, deer, swam in a lake, took a nap on the forest floor, and got to see some nice areas of the Manistee National Forest. My legs hurt a little bit (especially the front muscles of my lower leg) but all together it was quite pleasant. Pictures are coming, (we took a whole roll!)

The Taxonomy of Josh
I admit that I am kind of a loser when it comes being social. I don’t really go see movies or go out to eat, or any of the cool things that most people my age do…I don’t go to many concerts and I am too young (and not really interested in going) to the bar. I just go to work, watch movies, buy cd’s, write on my blog and play with my cat. I am more interested in taking pictures of a good lightning storm than calling up someone to “go out.” I would rather walk down the train tracks as the sun sets in a beautiful blaze of orange and pink, than bumming around GR. I would rather spend a weekend eating “Yard-O-Beef”, surrounded by mosquitos, with my legs burning with lactic acid than go to Cedar Point. I am a different breed than a lot of people, and I realize that. I have places that need improvement and I can piss people off. But I would rather be interested in the overlooked than just accepting what I am told.

I watched Changing Lanes last thursday, I thought it was good. A proper balance between action, suspense, and personal struggle.
