Brandywine Court

Soo Sunday started out like one of the worst days ever. I had to go to church, which obviously means im gonna be in a pissed off mood. Also my dad wanted me to mow the lawn, conveniently he chose the hottest day of the year so far to ask. But that doesnt matter cause i didnt end up doing it anyway. Probably will have to later. What really made me sad was that i had to miss out on beach fun cause i had to go to fucking church. So i get to church and everything is as it always is. People singing praises blah blah. It was once the worship finished and the sermon was about to commence that i fully just had fucking enough of the bullshit that is church. Instead of a sermon this week there was a special guest speaker that was going to talk about some bullshit that happened to some Malaysain kids or some crap like that. (sorry for me being completely crude about the poor kids in Malaysia) My parents wanted me to stay to see all the horrors that these people have to live through. This really just was the last straw. Did my parents really think that seeing this will finally convert me and make me a believer? Ive seen probably near 50 slideshows/videos of poor kids in cambodia/vietnam/china/phillipense/etc. throughout my many years of going to church and i really didnt feel like sitting through it all over again. Also my allergies decided that today was the day it would come knockin. Let me rephrase that, it blew down my door hardcore. So all that accumilated to me just ending up leaving church before the slideshow thing even started. I just bounced and drove for a bit clearing my head....literally sneezing like a billion times every hour.

So i get home and chill for a little bit taking some Zyertck or however you spell it. And what do i have to deal with? Half the church has come back with my parents to have a dinner at my house. I really didnt want to see any of them soo i ended up walking around. Talked to durell for a bit, but mostly walking and listening to my iPod. Feeling shitty and just mad about how im missing the beach fun, finally sean and albert get back. And want to hang out, but then Albert bitches out...he better not make a habit of it cause its been 2 nights in a row now.

But all the crap that happened on Sunday was nothing compared to how awesome the night was going to be for sean and myself. Its about 9ish when i finally meet up with mr. scott. We wanted to do howard and some glow in the dark frisbee but couldnt cause albert wasnt there. So what we really wanted was like a bench to sit outside and watch howard, but we knew that there was no such safe place. So i take sean to a spot to watch howard in the car. It was mine and durells spot and it lead to this secret street called Brandywine. Me and sean decided to not just smoke in the car but walk down the street and smoke. So we get the the right end of Brandywine and theres this "abandoned" house. My personal theory is that its underconstruction and the family that live there are just in a hotel or another family's house while its getting fixed. We're both there just standing on the lawn, and sean hears like a stream of water or something to that extent. We finish the bowl before exploring further. And we discover this little oasis. Theres 2 ponds with coy fish in there. And a perfect Bench just calling to us. We sit there for a bit, and then decided to go back to the car and pack the second bowl to smoke at the bench. We get back to the bench smoke the bowl, and just talk and look that stars and clouds which were beautiful. This little spot we found was amazing. You feel so safe and secluded there, like youre not even in scotch plains anymore.

Once all that was done we decided to explore the backyard of the house, and it was HUGE. his backyard was one of the biggest yard ive ever seen. On the way out i spotted these huge piles of firewood, and me and sean decided to take two pieces each for campfire LOL so we dont need to worry about logs next time.

But yeah conclusion is that i believe everyone needs to see this place. Even if u dont smoke we just need to show everyone cause its simply awesome. I still cant get over it. Hopefully they dont finish construction for like another month. I feel like this place was made just for us, it was everything sean and me were looking for that night (essentially a bench lol) and it just love it. Probably the second best time ive had smoking, coming close to the time me will dan pat and allie smoked on the bridge in the enchated forest.

Well this was REALLLLYYY long, i appreciate you all reading.
