so much angry and hatred......

weeeeeeeeeeoooooooooooooo

I hear the sirens again, no not the ones in my head. I'm pretty sure everyone else hears these too. More and more often I believe. Hell even last year I don't recall hearing this many ambulances. I reckon it's something that happens with a growing population. More people more issues.

The music tonight is KoRn. It's been a while since I've sat and listened to them. I've missed it.

and I've lost my muse... or have I? perhaps if I grab another beer it shall return. I wonder what I will be thinking when I read these again years from now, that being said let me check some old xangas! yeah remember that site.....

a cool June evening

And here I am again, the Mountain Goats playing. Helping to calm me... I didn't used to have the need to be calmed. I've found that I've grown more angry, hostile, and the like. For the most part I have managed to not display these emotions.... makes me wonder if I've been doing that all along. Nah, I am a cool and collected individual. With plans to burn down the world someday. Sounds pretty typical to me. Prairie Fest is here, I look forward to fucking with people.

I need someone to cancel me out...

Fun day on the Dupage River

Brother Scott, Father, and I had our selves a fun time kayaking down the Dupage river today. Did around 11 miles in only a couple hours.

eh I was gonna post more, I'll do it later. Seems I've only got one update in me at this time. For that update you'll have to look at the river to river blog.

Ok, It's a new day and I'm just gonna tack more onto the end of this post rather than start anew just yet. It's Easter Sunday so that meant a good bit of family time. Not that I have any issues with that, it's simply what we did today. Dad wanted to get on the river after church this morning, and I don't blame him it has been a very nice day. Unfortunately there were tasks that needed doing before that could happen.

short and... sweet?

As you may have noticed I've been doing my blog posts in the more frequent but of less quantity style as of late. Feedback? Yeah didn't expect much, I think I mainly just post all this so I can have something to go read back on years from now. Funny that, spending time in the present so we can recall the past easier.

Things to look forward to:

More videos? I hope so

Some more river to river posts? You betcha!

I'm on a video roll!

Yep, I am. The puparazzi. It's a video I shot a while ago.

Animation Super Series Rainbow

Looking over videos from camping in Garden Of The Gods a few weeks ago. I think it's time to post these on the youtube. It should be a good time. At some point I want to track down some free video editing software and have fun with that. So... any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated.

worktiy work work

Ahh, it's nice to be busy again. Also it's nice to have a paycheck again. Also it's nice to have a whole new little office set up. I gots me a computer, desk and chair. It's gonna be sweet. I'm installing some games now and I cannot wait to play 'em shits gonna be cash man.

Slowly but surely I'm cleaning my room and getting things organized. I've even cleaned out a dresser so I can keep my cloths in there now. Not sure what the next step will be though. Also I've over 20,ooo songs! I'd like to think I've listened to a majority of them. That just doesn't seem possibly though. Thats about all I feel like updating about for now. peace

blahdy blah blah

Right well, the adventure has been long over and I've uploaded pictures to facebook. I suppose I could get them on my picasa and share them on here as well.... infact I'll start that now.

Ok that process has begun. I have a few videos that I believe I'll be uploading as well at some point. They are not from the everglades trip though. They are from a night of camping with Drew, Luke, and Scott. The video is the first bit of what I'm sure will become a hit internet tv show. Animation Series Rainbow! (since renamed to Animation Super Series Rainbow). Now there is currently no animation in this series... and I cannot be certain that we'll have much at all.

Well that is all I've got for this lazy Sunday. I've got a few rants that I reckon I'll get to sooner or later too.

North Carolina

Well I finally left the state! Still no photos for me to post however. I am currently staying with my Aunt and Uncle, and in fact just finished a 6mi hike with my Uncle and his hiking group. It was a nice change not being the one with the map and having to do all the planning. Something that hasn't really happened to me in a while. It has been a while since I've been on a hike outside of Illinois too. I wasn't used to all the elevation changes, but that isn't to say I wasn't ready for them. I'm not sure when I will be leaving here I feel weather may be a large factor.

Fear not the GPS was hooked up for the hike and I'll be posting a map once I've a chance to make one. I'm currently on my Aunt and Uncle's computer so I'm missing a few of the programs that I use to make 'em. I can offer you this little map though:

I suppose I could include a little bit about the drive as well. All and all not too bad at all. Traffic was medium to light, and even in Nashville and Knoxville it wasn't all that bad. Much more spectacular terrain than one finds in Illinois. Driving through the Smokey Mountains is always interesting. It helped that I left early enough that I was able to do it during the daylight.

That's about all I have for now folks.

Things are moving

A soft snow is falling on Carbondale right now as I sip my coffee at the "Short's" McDonalds. Hey, gotta get that wifi hookup somewhere right? I've been doing a little route planning seems I've some long drives ahead of me, but I might be able to fix that. All and all I'm really beginning to look forward to this trip. Should be leaving Carbondale on Monday. Was thinking about leaving Sunday till someone pointed out to me that the Bears vs Packers game will be on. I reckon I could spend one more day around here to cheer on The Pack. The Kayak has been handling well on the truck. I plan on getting some photos of it up at some point. Just 'cause I love showing it off.

So it begins

It is my intention to try and keep this area updated so you lot back home can follow along with my travels. Thing is I'm hoping that I can manage to stay away from internet areas. Be in the wilderness and such. I reckon I'll pass by some location with free wifi at some point though.
