humming birds and a second chance

okay, the two non-related things that eventually become related used as a title must be getting old. i will stop doing that... maybe.

anyway, these two things actually have nothing in common except for the fact that they occur in the same day. i was in my room just looking around, and i decided to look outside. there is a tree right outside my window(the very edge of it)... it actually touches window. anyway, all of a sudden, i heard a hum... then, appears a hummingbird. it flew in place for about 15 seconds right in front of me on the other side of the window. i just stood there. i think it was staring at me. anyway, what happened next is something i have never witnessed before... it exploded.

now, the second chance thing... well, today is game night, as was last monday night... and guess what game is an option again. yup, you got it: ultimate frisbee. i am giving the guys a second chance tonight. i was going to convince every camper to not play so the counselors would be all alone and couldnt play (wait, they were capable of playing by themselves last time, right?) my judgement told me i shouldnt do that, so i have decided to give them another chance. i will let you all know how it goes tomorrow.

ok, its a good thing i didn't tell these stories in person, cause right now i am laughing so hard... i am nearly on the floor. speaking of laughing hard, i saw something discusting in the cafe today. a girl sitting about two yards in front of me at another table started laughing so hard, she had to stand up... then she threw up. no joke. that was gross.

now, here's the real joke. that humingbird... didn't explode. but it did do something i have never seen done before. now, most of you have probably seen it, but it meant a lot to me. the hummingbird actually stopped and sat on the branch facing me... it stopped flying. i have only seen hummingbirds flying. it was really neat. it sat there for two minutes, and i just stared. something about it sitting still just put me in a state of peace and amazement. had i not seen it flying a minute before, i would not have recognized it as a humming bird. it was really cool.

the mental image of a hummingbird flying in front of you for 15 seconds and then just exploding is actually quite funny.. thats what made me laugh so hard. well, i am off to ultimate frisbee in a bit. i will write tomorrow of my ultimate adventures in frisbee land.
