first time back

so i just finished my second season with Impulse drum and Bugle corps.
i was alot of fun. i was the Horn Sergeant this season (much to my surprise) and i even made som new friends (*gasp!*) but i think, that even though we were smaller this year, we were better.
i wish i could have seen us going to finals. we would have kicked some serious butt. but that has passed, and out nor cal tour went well. i think that overall it was a fantastic season. and i really like sean.
i just wish i could come back next season. and i'm going to miss the banquet! NO!!!!.
stupid SPOP 8. i wish i wasn't so busy this summer. although because of the shortened season, i get two months of before school starts up. just enough time to freak out.
so i decided i am going to buy a 15 inch Mac book (i've been saving for a long time) and an 16 gig ipod touch.
but i also really want to buy a new bike. since i found a site that will show me local single track, i want a decent dual suspension bike. now my trek 4300 hardtail is a fantastic bike, i just want a dual suspension to go along. but the Feul ex 5.5( the on i am looking at) is 1400 dollars!(but i have a 100 dollar gift card, so 1300)

well that is the update on me.

Best regards, John C

goodnight, and good luck.
"LONG-WHILE I sought to what I might compare
those powrefull eies, which lighten my dark spright,
yet find I nought on earth to which I dare
resemble th' ymage of their goodly light.
Not to the Sun: for they doo shine by night;
nor to the Moone: for they are changed neuer;
nor to the Starres: for they haue purer sight;
nor to the fire: for they consume not euer;
Nor to the lightning: for they still perseuer;
nor to the Diamond: for they are more tender;
nor vnto Christall: for nought may them seuer;
nor vnto glasse: such basenesse mought offend her;
Then to the Maker selfe they likest be,
whose light doth lighten all that here we see."
