Ok, so how many people went to Primetime in the City: Kingston? Lets see a show of hands! (or comments, just click on the word "comments" below). What did you guys think? What did you like most: singing, games, food or T-Hawk's awesome talk?
If you live in the Ottawa area, don't worry we're coming there soon, on November 10th. I get pretty excited about these things, so I hope to see you all there!!!
Now, this may be a very random thing to write about, but I feel the need to share my thoughts on the topic of karaoke. Karaoke is a mystery to me. Do people sing karaoke on a regular basis? I find it interesting that there is also a huge market for christian karaoke. There are actually like 500 websites for christian karaoke cds!!!! Maybe we should call primetime karaoketime: music and words on a screen. That's karaoke!!! :) (I'm kidding. I don't actually think we should do that, but it would be pretty funny.)
Why do people like Karaoke so much? Do you like Karaoke? Do you have a funny Karaoke story to share with us? Does anyone know where Karaoke first started? (click on the word "comments" below and share your thoughts!)
In closing, come to Primetime in the City: Ottawa, and have some fun with friends food and karaoke......(sorry, i had too!!!) I hope to see you all there!!!!
Peace

Well, I lied. I said I would write 2 days in a row and I didn't. I'm very sorry and I hope you can all forgive me. I will however write about something a little more serious. Making friends. (no, not "Friends" the TV show! although, this is a nice picture of them!)
Now, this is something I love doing. I love meeting new people and getting to know what makes them tick. I mean what makes them laugh, what makes them smile, what makes them mad and what they're all about. Now, as you may know, I am a very outgoing person and I am not really afraid to talk to anyone. I don't really have any problems going up to people and starting conversations. Not everyone is like me though. Some people choke up and can't get any words out when they meet new people. Others are worried about what people will think about them. That's ok!!! But I think that we put too much pressure on ourselves to impress other people. We think that if we don't make that person laugh within 2 minutes of meeting them then we are never gonna talk to them again. Wrong!!! Be yourself. If you're not a joker, don't joke. If the person is someone you have to impress, then ask yourself is that really the kind of person you wanna be friends with? And another thing. Don't get yourself too cranked on being the "perfect" friend. It's impossible!!! You're not always gonna make everybody happy, and thats okay. Be yourself, enjoy the company of others and make true friends who you can be real with.
Thanks for waiting guys and I hope that helps at least one of you out. Keep the comments coming. I love hearing from you guys. Peace.

Hey there everybody!
I would like to start by thanking you all for your comments and requests. It brings a tear of joy to my eye to know that not only are you folks reading this stuff but are actually asking for more stuff read. I have been asked to write about few different things so here's what I am gonna do. I will do two entries this week!!!! I will do crazy today and serious tomorrow.
Sam has asked me to re-tell a dream that Mongrel had this summer. Now this was not a normal dream. It was a horrible nightmare about Camp Iawah being taken over by the Wolfe Lake society! Now, for the record, the Wolfe Lake society is actually a good group people and this was only dream.
It was a normal saturday morning here at camp. Campers were all packed up and waiting for their parents to come and take them home after another amazing week. Staff were cleaning and getting ready for day off. Now there was something different about this saturday. The Wolfe Lake society was going to be using Lower Iawah to host one of their meetings. As far we all knew this was perfectly fine. By 11:00 am camp was a pretty calm place. No campers, no staff and only a few people hanging around. The Wolfe Lake society arrived and began their meeting. Tim Edwards was part of this meeting and realized that something was up!! Instead of talking about the loons and the fish and the beavers and how to keep Wolfe lake looking as wonderful as it does, they began to talk about an invasion. Tim listen intently to their plan and was shocked when he realized that their planned invasion was for IAWAH!!!!!!!!! Tim tried to leave but was quickly stop from doing so and he was locked in the basement of Derby.
Meanwhile..... All of the staff were enjoying their day off. When the time came to head back to camp, the staff were suprised and shocked to find that camp had been walled off. "Why do we need a wall and gate?" Some people asked. And then they saw the new sign.
The Iawah logo was gone and it said "Wolfe Lake Society Training Facility" What was this? A man came to the gate and said that if the staff tried to return to camp they would never see Tim alive again!!!!
Well, the staff were not gonna let that happen! All of the staff made a plan to take camp back from the Wolfe Lake society. The plan involved canoes, a catapult and a daring midnight rescue.
Now is the part where the dream falls apart. We don't really know what happened in the end except that it was very violent and there were fish involved and all kinds of explosions!!!! In the end, Iawah was saved and Tim Edwards was rescued with (relatively) no problems.
If you would like to know more you're gonna have to ask Mongrel himself. After all, it was his dream. That's all for now and I will talk to you guys again tomorrow. Keep the comments coming.
Peace
