Im going to Maryland for a week, which should be freaking awesome. I can basically sit on the beach, read, write, drink beer, eat crabs, go fishing, etc etc. Ocean city is a great place to hang out. I always reccomend it to people. Its not that far, but far enough where its still fun to get away. It's also reaonably priced. This time will be much cheaper seeing as my parents are picking up the tab. The last time I went was after a night of drinking with my friend matt and we spent like 200 in 18 hours on hotels,booze,food,and cigarettes. I'm going to finally read the sun also rises. My friend reccomended An American Tradgedy to me, but its like 900 pages with micro-type. I've recently completed Moby Dick, and I think Hemmingway will be much nicer transition. I also think that the carefree week will cater better to a book like this. I have to admit that I'm quite proud of myself. I've been consistantly reading, and for anyone that knows me they'd be surprised. I've read 6 books this summer, and thats good for me. I also got a 7-card stud book, couldn't resist. But anywho, most people that I like I invited to come hang out in maryland. Im thinking the law of averages is in place here and at least 1 person will hang out for a day. They're in for a treat because the bars are freaking incredible and the whole place is so much fun.
