The picture above I took last year outside of my cabin in Upstate. Haven't been able to get up there this summer but hopefully I can get a few days in over Labor Day weekend.
Besides having a weird summer I did manage to have some birthday fun as I enter the last year of being a teenager (thank god). I realized how lucky I am to have some of the greatest friends and family who really care about me so I thank them all for celebrating with me.
I went to Atlantic City for the first time. It's an interesting place to say the least. I guess if you like to gamble it's a good place to go? But the reason I was there was to see Kris Allen play at the Borgata. I went with one of my friends from high school and we had a grand ol' time. It was a great show and lots of memories were definitely created.
Another show I saw was Maroon 5 and they just killed it. Those guys were born to perform and play music. One of the best concerts I've seen in a while.
Speaking on the music front if anyone is in to the whole Ray LaMontagne vibe then I recommend you listen to Chris Nathan who opened up for Kris Allen when I saw him. He has this funky, soulful sound that will make your heart sing. I won't be surprised if you start hearing more of him in the upcoming year. You can check out his music on his Facebook or MySpace. You won't regret it!
Besides going on music adventures I've been reading a lot. In particular David Sedaris. I have one more book and I have officially read all of his essays. The man is a genius and I would kill to have his talent. Anyone who can make a living by writing about their family is a hero in my book.
There is really no transition here but as of today I have 2 weeks until I move back to school. I absolutely can't wait! Maybe I should start packing...
Well kids I hope you enjoy the last bit of your summer!
Later loves.
