Update

Ok. For me, the summer does not offically start until we have had our stint in Hawaii and are back on the mainland. And that would be today. I just spent the last couple of days on the sunny (Perhaps too sunny *my back! It Burn!*) Island of Oahu. We spent the days in languid simplicity. Nothing but crusin' the island and finding time to nap. (In the sun *Ah it Burns!*). We did go up to the BYU-Hawaii Campus while i was there. I talked to the Manager of the Campus Newspaper and it seems that i will be able to get my old job back. Maybe not as a movie critique, but for sure as a staff writer. Which i am excited about.

It was so weird to be back on the campus after my two year absense. Everything was so familiar and yet so alien to me. But still, it got me very jazzed for the coming fall semester.

Anyway, i am here in Arizona now at my Brother's and will be here through the fourth. After that i will be in Colorado and will try doing an update there as well.

Catch ya after the 4th.

PS- "Superman" was awesome! I loved it, a bit slow in the beginning but still it rocked! *Up, Up and AWAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!*

Drew - Knight of the Realm / Defender of Green


My good buudy Zach Workman is doing a series of drawings about his friends as Knights of the little house division we all used to live on as kids, called Plaza. So this is me as a Knight of Plaza with a very large warhammer. It was also a good-bye present to me as i will be heading back to the states in 2 days. Its back to school and all that jazz for me. I will bein hawaii in August for school, but you can still find all the updates about my life here. Hope you enjoy Zach Workmans rendition of me... (Actually, I kind of look like Hugh Jackman in this picture and yes, my sideburns are that long) - Drew

Ramblings...

It's 11 pm sharp, my house is still and everyone has taken to bed to finsih out the day. But yet here i sit, writing as the sound of methodic rain hits my window. Its nights like these that i am glad i made this blog.
For this is true rambling. Nothing to say and nothing very intresting to talk about. But still, i sit here continue to tap away... Perhaps its the rythmic chant of the keyboard as it ticks along its way that keeps me going. Perhaps its the stillness i enjoy. Life is such a hustle and bustle that its just good to sit down and put your thoughts down. More people should do it. But then again thats just me.
What is it about the night that has us young people so enthralled? Have you ever noticed that? people from the age of 18-25 seem to live for the hours when the sun goes down. In college my average bedtime was like 1am. It seems that everyone my age likes staying up. Why is that? I am not even sure i know. Personally i would rather be sleeping. But here i am typing away about nothing in particular and doing nothing in particular except for watching movie trailers, (apple.com/trailers)
Anyway,Enough rambling for one day. I guess i should close this up and get some sleep. Good night all.
