Friends are gone...

Back when I was young I lost a good friend named Jim. See my Dad worked in Alaska a couple months at a time. A father figure wasn't always there. Jim though he was an only guy a family friend more like. All my brothers and sister were close to him. He was in the war and something had happened to his legs which wouldn't let him walk. We took care of him, I took out his trash, Went shopping for him. He taught us a lot of camping and survival tips. Each day usually after school we would go to his house and talk to him. One day we were going to go camping at Detroit Lake with the family. I asked him he should go but he couldn't because he was sick from the legs. Jim gave us a lot of things for camping to use. Had an amazing week, on the way back My older brother and I jumped out of the van and ran to his house. We knocked, he didn't answer. The door was cracked open. We opened it and called his name... no answer. I think I was eight years old, We pushed the door open and there he was lying face down on the floor, faced to us. My brother ran to get my mom. It wasn't until 5 min that he came back with my mom. Those 5 min lasted so much. I walked in, He didn't move. No matter how high my voice was. He looked cold. I didn't understand what was going on I was young. They told me to go outside, Sat on the curb for the Ambulance to come. DOA... Those 3 letters. What is that? Dead on arrival, No more Jim, he is gone now... but I didn't understand. Okay he is dead? But now I can't see him? We got to keep some of his stuff because we were close to him. Jim was the only dead body I have seen and the first friend to leave me. I got these camping things that he gave me, the light up quick. They are ten years old and don't work but each time I go camping I take a couple with me and turn them on. Let them Burn slowly in memory of him. He always wanted us to do better than him. He is in a better place now, He was in pain a lot, but I miss him. I know my family does too. Boys and girls club, You were like a really good friend. We went to school together... yeah yeah I had a crush on you ha. I loved playing basketball with you. Stupid guys making fun of you because your tooth, i didn't care you were still a wonderful person. I like how you could joke about it though like it wasn't a problem. Like you knew yourself and nothing was going to bring you down. One day everybody was freaking out at school, I didn't know why Claire but they said your name. Why aren't you going to Boys and Girls Club, Im at the table you are not here. Wanna come shoot Hoops? Claire? Where are you?... What? What do you mean she's gone? Sorry to say she's dead man. Thats what people are crying about, It hurts to see one leave. Why did you leave us so early? We remember though, we do not forget. Im sure you would have loved high school, I did my best for you, I graduated. I know some people don't get the chance to do so. I did it for you Claire, I know you aren't by my side But i know you watched, you are watching us all, Jim too. You were loved by everybody, Dang your smile ha. I was older, you were younger. I saw you all the time on the bus for soccer. We basically practiced on the same field. We talked, it was a different bond though. I didn't know you that well brandon. See my brother did though. My younger friends did. They miss you, they took second place, They should have taken champs again. They tried though. They knew you loved soccer. You were loved by everybody, they all miss you. Hey man come to the retreat is going to be fun! Jacob You will like it.... You were their many times, teen life, Following christ. I remember what we would talk about. I remember what happened. We got to sleep at the Newman center. We watched the blind side together. Don't say you didn't tear up because that was a sad movie. See thing Jacob was, we grew together from christ. Yeah we liked to mess around, we were teenagers, they except that, But i loved are serious conversations as well. Rivals schools but always came together under the same church. Car Crash? Who? What happened? Questions going around. it's not your fault. A lot of people miss you Jacob, a lot. I do, Now who will I joke with at Retreats Huh? I guess you still listen though. Your up there with the rest of them Smiling down on us. Miss ya bro! People that have left friends family, sons and daughters. This is my story, we all have diffrent ones. I am trying to write a song for them. -Isaac Camacho

Fall term

So fall term I am taking CCJ 310 which is about american courts, I am taking a hip-hop class which is super fun. It is my first time being in a Hip-Hop class. I mainly learn online, watching people on YouTube and all. I am also taking a Dance Appreciation class that goes to my minor. I think I am the youngest student in this class =D It actually feels good to be young I love it! Lets see... Oh yeah somebody scratched my bike, What the fuck are people thinking about like really. I ended up buying a disk lock brake and probably going to by a cover for it as well. My bike is to big to keep in my room. I bought Motorcycle Insurance but its just a scratch, Ill end up buying a new decal to put it over it so it looks new. $13 a month for insurance =D It's so cool! Today is wednesday which is My friday! =D Sad thing I guess... I Found out today that my movement for actors teacher died over the summer due to a heart attack. She was an amazing person and shared the light with many people. She got me into acting... again I am not much of an actor but She said I a natural. I needed to take acting classes for my dance minor. She will be missed a lot in the acting community at Portland State University. Thats all that has happened, still doing the breakdancing and trying to learn, I pick up things pretty quick. Electro dance club is going really good, people are showing up and are willing to learn. As the President I need to make a few adjustments. Well Tonight Im making pasta! I love pasta. Oh and a shout out to my Dad who had his birthday this month, Love you! Miss my two brothers working in alaska and hope they make it back safe to head out to Cabos and ride the jet skis! Oh and sis i miss you too! Can't wait to visit in mexico! -Isaac Camacho
