Greetings dear reader!
so sorry for the epic lack of updates but lets face it, my life is pretty boring. SO, main point of today's is that tonite i'm hitting the sawbill trail in the BWCA (thats the Boundry Waters Canoe Association for those somehow not familiar) with my class for a weekend of canoeing, portaging, learning and all around adventure! the other day my group and i went grocery shopping for food for the trip. now, grocery shopping is not an activity i usually find enjoyable. however, let me tell others of you in my position to try something: go shopping with hot girls. seriously. it made the whole experience so much better! in my group are two smoking hot girls, which naturally fuels my machismo in the course of any action i take. (a can of tomatoes you say? why course let me just *huuuurrng* curl it epically into my hand and drop it into the cart for you). so there's one thing i'm excited for on this trip, the ladies are fun and good lookin'. another thing i enjoy about this upcoming weekend is our guide/ "trip leader" dude's name is jake and he has a seriously epic beard. full on leonidas, no lie. he asked us if any of us smoked (as in maryjewanna) and said he'd be cool with it long as we shared lol. well, nobody smoked but i still found it pretty funny. he asked us too what we wanted to learn this weekend and i said "how bout some sweet survival skills. like full on bear grylls shit" to which he epically replied,

"dude, i've met bear grylls. he's a pussy"

woah, dude hold on. i've spent i don't know how long defending bear grylls to people who call him out on his show. but here's a guy who's MET the man, and puts the BEAR in BEARD. i am inclined to believe his statement as fact. epic, epic fact. needless to say, i'm excited to see what we can do under the watchful eye of such a man. thirdly i am excited because there's a very real chance i could DIE out there this weekend! and as anyone who knows anything knows, rob finlayson is excited at the chance of non-survival. its gonna get cold this weekend while we're up there and possibly even snow (FUCK) and i've not been camping in well over ten years! thats a whole decade for my skills to get rusty and my mind to get dull! however, according to jake the guide, our prof. gave our group only one leader as opposed to the usual TWO leaders because he has more confidence in us than in the other groups! which makes the tiny indian inside me swell with pride! (E NOK CHA).
so yeah, thats about it for the weekend plans. i can't really sit here much longer to tell you guys another track of my best of dreams album. but i'll update on monday with how the trip went as well as a favorite of mine "jaguars and jewels" a dream i had just before i travelled to mexico! oh, which reminds me! i might finish my schooling out in spain!! more details on that in the next post. always leave em wanting more. if it works for opium dealers it can work for bloggers.
stay spiny folks!
