You think? Yeah I think so too, at least I'll make the effort. I'm in the travelling mood and am going everywhere this summer. Tell me where you'll be and I'll try to be there. I'm like on a mission from God. It's a hundred and six miles to Chicago, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark and we're wearing sunglasses.
I should tell my tentative plan anyway....mid june Wakarusa near Kansas City, then points west ....may change, may not....
Aretha has poblems lip sync-ing. They talk about it in the afterwards. Those high speed chase footages are real. I love driving fast. The fastest I ever drove was in Europe, It was there 3 years ago, a collegue and I travelled from the Stuttgart area to Venice for the weekend, on Sunday he wanted to visit Auschwitz the NAZI concentration camp, a relative of his died there. To make it there after a late start we drove at speeds approaching 140mph for a couple of hundred miles. I get rev'd thinking about it. The concentration camp didn't exsist, except for the showers/crematorium and a large warehouse type building that housed a museum that chronicled N.A.Z.I. prizoner abuse. The exibits were in German and I couldn't understand most of them but could gather something about cold weather research involving human subjects, gruesome; things we're capable of.
Yeah it is a great quote, the kinda reckless abandon freedom thing, and that was John Belushi who said it, right? Pretty damned inspiring... As for the forum thing, it's a little weird at first, but you get used to it. I first joined a whitewater forum to get into boating, been doing it for over two years now thanks to some patient guys I met on there who helped me learn how. It's my passion, plus I can pretty much go to any river any day of the week and run into someone I know. I stumbled on this forum during a google search, I was lookin' for an old VW bus to tool around in, I read some of the stuff on here, liked it, been hooked ever since. What I dig about it is bouncing ideas off people, gives me perspectives outa the box y'know? It's real easy to get hung up in the local reality we live in, so it's refreshing to reach out to folks all over the globe, which is what this is about. It's not a substitute for real inter-personal contact, however, but I figure someday down the line I'll probably cross paths with a few of the folks on here, that'll be cool. As a wise woman advised on another thread, though, "Don't feed the Trolls." Later, Mark
What's a troll? Hey ya'all. Pretty nice day huh? I'm listening to Bob Marley, I have the Bob Marley and the Wailers 2 CD Gold set. Good music. It's cold and wintery here, I got to switch to winter mode, get used to being out in it. I was thinking about getting snowshoes and cross-country skis, anyone have experience with them? I saw a friend last night, it makes my days. So does hearing from you guys.
good to see you again camper!! I have wanted to try snowshoes too, and we are definitely having the weather for it lately. I tried xcountry skiing before but wasn't too good at it. I know snowshoes are quite a workout but at least you stay warm doing that. winter is just so confining, I really need to motivate....thanks for the idea!! edit: oh and trolls are those assholes who come into forums just to stir people up and cause trouble, maliciously and with no other intent but to rile people up. I don't feed them, just ignore them.
oh yeah, I bought an Aretha CD today, it was only 5.99, sometimes I just crave hearing Aretha. Bob Marley is good too, always makes me feel warm to hear his music.
Hey Mimosa, hope you're doin well. Where you at? How much experience do you have at snowshoeing? I'm listening to AC/DC, loud aint it?
I have zero experience snowshoeing, but a friend said I could borrow theirs if I want to try it. they warned it was hard work though, but I'm willing. AC/DC..... I like loud. I'm doing well, hope you are too. snowy upper Midwest Plains state here.
I am listening to Johnny Cash, I think its his last CD. I transcribed the lyrics from I think a nine inch nails tune he did. I always wanted to understand every word. I hurt myself today, to see if I still feel. I focused on the pain, the only thing that's real. The needle tears a hole, the old familiar sting, try to kill it all away, but I remember everything. What have I become, my sweetest friend, everyone I know goes away in the end. And you could have it all, my empire of dirt. I will let you down, I will make you hurt. I wear this crown of thorns upon my liars chair, full of broken thoughts, I cannot repair. Beneath the stains of time the feelings disappear, you are someone else I am still right here. What have I become? My sweetest friend. Everyone I know goes away in the end. And you could have it all my empire of dirt, I will let you down, I will make you hurt. If I could start again a million miles away, I would keep myself I would find a way
