Team building, with mother nature

Yesterday, Saturday, I joined my fellow Hesperides club members on a retreat to Mt. Lemmon. It was something I was looking forward to the whole week but the little weather box in my Google homepage told me it was going to rain that day. It had a bright and sunny sun for Friday and Sunday but a big gray cloud for Saturday. Out of all the days it had to be Saturday. Me trying to be very optimistic I thought to myself "Hmm...its maybe just going to sprinkle on us". Leaving my house on Saturday morning I carried that thought in my head. Walking to school, where we had to meet up, I looked to the sky and it looked pretty nice and calm. This added more to my optimism. I said hi to everyone, said hi to Tricia, and we loaded up the vans. We started driving up to the mountain, again everything was still looking great. Getting higher, at about 6,000 ft, the sky fell on us. Or to put it in lamest terms, we were inside the clouds. Or to put in even lamest terms, there was a lot of fog. Heart of Darkness anyone. But back on track, we were fortune enough to find this spot that looked fairly calm. The only problem, it was freaking cold. Getting settled we start with a team building activity. Half way into the activity its starts to lightly rain on us. My optimism goes back to it's original stage. Two minutes later it started to hail on us. We had no other option then to run back into the van. Around ten minutes later the hail calmed down. Getting back to our activity's we finish the first one and start another one. Starting the second activity it starts to rain again, hard. At this point my optimism was just let down. The rain again calms down. We get off the vans again and Ms. Ayala starts to grill up the meat. Some people left to go hiking to wait for the food. Me and Tricia decided to take a walk. A great walk complemented with nature. Again, it started raining. We decided to go lower in the mountain. Even though we were all soaked but hungry. After feasting in steak, beans, tortillas, fruit salad, chips, the sniffles, and capri sun we started to head back to Tucson. Arriving at Pueblo we realized we were all still soaked, our sweaters mainly. But even though mother nature did not cope with us in this trip we all still managed to have fun. What other team building exercise can we ask for. With everybody's helped we managed to have a lot of fun.

I've been listening to Murs's album "Murs for President". Before its release I wasnt giving it as much appreciation because he was going to release it with a major label. You can also say that I called him a sell-out a few times. But now that I've been listening to it, it's still the same Murs that I love. Check out his video for "Can It Be".


Loud. com did a new interview with DJ Quik. On the interview DJ Quik leaked some information about Dr. Dre's acclaimed album "The Detox". Again I am hooked on this album even more. He also talks about Murs's album.


So today is Sunday. Last day of the weekend. I have to do some homework. I have to stop procrastinating. See y'all this week.
