Zorm, I'm not trying to pick a fight here, but you seem to have a pretty biased opinion of cool. "When you go out and be all militaryish and win a metal."
I mean, if you like that kind of stuff, thats cool. Go right ahead and do your thing. I personally think this was a lot cooler than going to a drill meet (again, no offence).
Thursday night I was like, so scared, because I'd never been to youth convention before and I had no clue what to expect. It wasn't that much different than a typical Wednesday (yes, Wednesday, not Sunday) night, except streched out over three days, adding 2000 people, and intensifing it x100. Plus we had famous people. But yeah.
Fort Myer's Masters Comission was doing dramas, as you know (if you read). They did a drama to the song Rise (they did it at the very beginning and the very end). It was pretty amazing. They started out at a party, doing drugs and stuff. A girl held a gun (obviously unloaded) to her head (commiting suicide, you know). There were these demon clowns pushing everyone around. Then this one guy was all kinda like "dude thats not cool" and the demon clowns all beat him up. Then Jesus hopped in and was like WHAM, GET AWAY FROM MY SON and then like, I give you the power son, you can take them! Then the demon clowns all charged at the dude and they had some awesome fist-fighting and stuff, looked like he actually hurt them (but clearly didn't, they just got back up). That was *really* awesome.
The first night already, I was like Pastor Craig, I'm coming next year. I can't invite you all to come, but I encourage all of you to get involved with a local youth group (for the youth among us). Then theres iago, but even if he was a youth, he still has an iron will that can not be changed, so eh? =p.
EDIT -
Two things I didn't like, though.
1) They had these giant floodlights, and it seems like they were just out to blind you.
2) Tasha was hunting this weekend. She wasn't there.
