yes, I primarily went with the ones I am in, because I am selfish.

Summertime
I have now been home from the real world vacation we like to call "YMA" for 4 days. I haven't exactly caught up on all the sleep I lost, but i'm getting there, slowly.
But now that I have had some alone time, I've been able to really process the whirlwind of information that was stored through this two week experience.
YMA 2008 was in my opinion, the best camp yet. For those involved, pat yourself on the back. Because regardless of what role (small or big) you think you played, every single one of us made camp this year one of my best memories. The objective was to have fun and make music, and thats what we did. We didn't complicate things, we didn't let the details get in the way. It just happened! And that is what makes YMA so unique.
I have seen a lot of changes in myself over the past year. I feel more confident- in myself and in my decision making. I feel more independent as an individual personality. I feel like a better musician. And the one thing that can assure me that I am a growing, feeling, loving human being is two weeks playing music with people I love being with in a run down dormatory at a liberal arts college in Salem, Oregon.
And even though I had myself more figured out this year, fate/coincidence/divine mercy/karma/....etc etc decided to throw a wrench in it all and give me a bittersweet blessing. No, I'm not going to go into specifics, and I'm not going to complain about it. It really is a blessing, and to me a reminder that we, truly, are not alone.
