Adventures in Hobbit Land!

Image
On Instagram this weekend I posted this picture with the caption "Sometimes I wonder why I stay in Maine. Then I go for a walk in the woods." I spend countless hours in "Hobbit Land" as it's been called for generations now. It's actual name is Vaughn's woods, but it far more fun to look for the chairs and homes of Hobbits then to look for Vaughn... Growing up my Mum always took my sister and I (and whatever friends we had with us) through what I thought until this weekend to be the only trail through Hobbit land. As my fiancee and I walked into the woods; instead of walking straight forward like I always had I looked behind us and saw another trail that I had never seen before... Of course curiosity got the best of me and I had to try this new mysterious trail... Here is a map thanks to " my tracks " View 4/28/2012 6:39 PM in a larger map As you can see I didn't think to start my track until after we started walking this ne...

Welcome to Delta

Finally.      After over a year of waiting I'm officially working for an Ambulance service.  I'm now a proud Employee of Delta Ambulance. At least that's what my badge says.      So I've spent the last two full days getting "Oriented" to the new job. Also known as filing out a tree worth of paper, having every Ofiice/Important person introduce themselves, tell us what they do and how you can call them 24/7/365.      It wasn't the most fun thing in the world but it was informational and helpful to meet my fellow N00Bs. I'm also glad to get a chance to talk with some of the EMTs and Medics that have been working for Delta for up to TWENTY years! That's a friggin long time...    I actually start my "Ride Time" or basically a beginner test to see if I'm up to snuff on technique and get me familiar with the area. To be painfully honest... I'm stupid nervous. I know the technical skillz, but half of them I'...

Dear Canada, I'm sorry. You have clearly proven yourself to be smarter then the USA, first with the death of the penny and now with this brilliant digital money. thank you.

PHGD: Post Hunger games Depression.

WARNING! SPOILER ALERT! IF YOU HAVEN'T READ THE BOOK STOP HERE! In the words of Marvin the Robot; I'm depressed. If you've been under a rock in northern Maine then you may not know about "The Hunger Games" I doubt you have the internet though, so you aren't going to see this... awkward. Well this book trilogy called the hunger games is really good. the books themselves are good, the story is good. However, I feel that the trilogy has been used as a way to shove a message that is painful to swallow into the throats of readers. I won't go over the story cause if you haven't read it, you should read this. In book 1: the hunger games we have a young strong female lead, she knows who she is. A survivor. Katniss has to fight gladiator style with 23 other CHILDREN. I think this is something that is sadly over looked by a lot of people. In america we are use to images of war, we see it on TV, we hear it in the news, we even live it out in games. We never...

The Hat of creativity/giraffen battle helm!

First thing you should know is that I'm between pretty and very sick right now. so any craziness beyond normal is to be expected. I am sitting at Tim Horton's right now cause I don't really wanna walk home. *I actually look and feel like fecal matter. Nope, Sorry, that isn't actually an animal skinned sex god. It's just me and my Hat. While I understand how difficult it can be for you, my loving readers not to try and jump me when I look so delicious.* It's best for both of us if you fight your primal urges. I mean with so many of you and only one of masculine, young, fit me. It would be a certain slaughter. Anyways! let us move on to my magical hat, it's a wonderful thing really. having a hat that is designed to create and destroy. Such a hat could earn a entire blog about it's self one day. (#NotReally) Let us talk about creative stuff I've been doing! First off, I've been slowly learning the Ocarina using an Ocarina app for android . ...

Ocarina for all time!

Heyyyyy Ocarina! Okay, Maybe that's not quite right... It says what I need though! So yea, I was stumbling around the internet and found something incredibly awesome. An Ocarina app for Iphone, of course the first thing I do is down load the  android version  and I've been playing away ever since! Now, there are limits! it is only a 4 hole ocarina, but it's enough to have fun with. I've been playing with it and reading about them and now I'm getting serious about buying one and learning to play it. A real 12 hole, tenor or bass. So, instead of studying for SAT's or something, I'm playing the digital ocarina on my phone.... First off, watch the above clip... It may not be the same for you, but that 4 note whistle almost reduces me to tears... ridiculous. I know, but Rue is an amazing character! Rue's death is what really made me think about the atrocities being committed against children that are a full generation away from the rebellion that...

Date day! YAY!

Please be prepared for a torrent of pictures... Okay, So it's Saturday again and every Saturday me and my wonderful fiancee go on a day long date. It's a ritual that's been around for quite a while now. So here, Is what we do. Most of the time we start out getting breakfast at AHOP, or Tim Horton's, then after much deliberation, be choose the same basic place. The Beach. Popham fort to be exact. Nothing like a good panoramic shot  It'z a very nice, ya? ya. So we go for a nice walk on the beach, then we find things like this... I really have no idea what this big pipe thing is for... We figured, whale back scratcher, Japanese submarine, Pirate telescope, That's it really... ANYWAYS! Then we went over to the big drift wood to see if the whole i made from jumping (OVER TEN FEET!)  was still there. It wasn't. but it is an excellent photo area, for things like this... Notice the intense unwavering stare, th...
