Hello friends!
I don't really know how to start these things anymore soo here goes...

I am at camp.

er... you already know that I guess...

K.

Every wednesday here we have been plying some ball hockey at the only gym on Quadra.. it is fantastic. We get some pretty good guys out! Full goalies...full equipment... it's nice cause I can slapshot! :) We play games up to 10 goals...usually takes an hour every game... they are heated games...very intense... which only pushes me to do better...needless to say I haven't gone a game without a hat trick yet... normally 3 on 3 hockey with 3ish subs... This past night I got 5 goals the first game and four goals the second game and setup the winner...
This reputation though...comes with it's downsides... I get pushed around alot more... slashed...alot.... pff...
This past week I had a 250 pound man fall on top of my head...with speed... rubbing my face against the gym floor...needless to say I have a very nice shiner! my elbows are ready for him next week! :D

We just finished with a group called GLEEM... They were grade 8 Korean exchange students. It really reminded me of back home and Focus club and things like that and made me really miss what my Dad does at TRU. Dad... I tried my best to teach them proper english and I followed your example and was funny and hilarious and made them laugh! One thing that I was paying attention to and had noticed before at Focus events and such is Asians and their lack of Chivalry and interaction with the opposite sex. Hmm...
I feel that as an canadian/american culture we have lost our sense of Chivalry too... back to that later though.
I was teaching Obstacle Course for this camp and with the Koreans I planned some "team builder" exercises to see where they were at and help them mesh together. Needless to say we got to "The Wall" which is a 9 foot wall that you have to get your team over... by supporting, pushing, lifting, and such...
Well I sent the guys up first because well...they were bigger and I thought they would be a help...well...the opposite was found out... They got up there and were useless...hahah
They refused to help the girls up... like they were scared of even touching them...
Later on playing some run around games... the guys refused to interact with the girls... pff pish posh i say...
Soo anyways it just reminded me of myself in the older days :) and how Girls had cooties and were gross... they do still have cooties but... aren't soo gross :D
I also thought about my own interaction towards the opposite sex... maybe it's just me but until the past year... I was not chivalrous at all...
I am slowly learning to open doors for the woman and respect them with uplifting words and such...cheesy maybe but i think it pays off in the end!
I do like to pretend and joke about the whole traditional women views and such.... like they should stay in the kitchen...clean everything... laundry...bedroom... all that funny stuff. When it really comes down to it though... I hate those views...alot... I can't wait to do laundry and cooking WITH my future wife... it'll be a great time... maybe even throw some children in the dryer...er... the mix... most of these things take two people anyways... Cooking... one person to eat the food one person to make it... Laundry...one person to wear the clothes..one to wash...
Bedroom... one person to... ...:) hehe You get the point.
I am striving to respect the females. Especially my girlfriend... that is pretty basic though. :)


Anyways.


We have Mother/Son weekend right now. It is exciting.. makes me miss my mommy!
I helped lead fireside! sang some songs... made a fool of myslef in a skit as per usual.
I have grown pretty close with one of the kids that lives here at camp, Seth Schuurman. He is 4
and is the cutest... he is my little brother of camp. Tonight as the speaker was talking... I was setting up for Mugup(snack) apparently Seth interrupted the speaker and burst out in front of the group "Wait! Josh isn't here!" hahah soo cute... I almost cried haha
Soo Sarah came and got me and said that Seth wanted me to be there... i went and he sat on my lap haha soo funny!!

Flip! Am I growing up if I am longing for the moment my kid says "wait, dad isn't here yet!"?
Just waiting for his favourite person in the world to show up. hhhh
I can't wait.


I am going to peace out.

I get monday and tuesday off... and then the next two weekends off!!!
I am coming home march 29th- April 4th hopefully! Be ready for me!
