Charles 11:11 AM

Not Dickens, but Grey. This Charles Grey is my new laptop, affectionately so named.

Say hello, Charles.

I like naming my possessions, it helps organize my life. But what this post really means is this: Charles and I are going XD. Hardcore. Don't expect to see me around for a bit.

I was thinking that I should take some of the best of my writings from the capital C, maybe edit and polish 'em up a little, and post them here for the sake of my old site's fans and for those not familiar with my earlier works.

What say ye? I think ye agree.

Trip to Beau Comeau 2:42 PM

I'm dropping in a few pictures of me while I was up north for my cousin's wedding. I don't really like posting pictures, but...yeah, here it is.

Trip To Beau Comeau

I had a pretty good time, not counting the sunburn and insect bites. I swear, there are flies there that bite off your skin. I must have made quite a sight, flailing my arms around and muttering obscenities like "Poopoofacedmaggotlayinglowlifebloodsuckingbuggers!!" Try saying that all as one word. Spell check is gonna collapse on this one. Ah, nature really brings out the creativity in me.

The waterfalls, rushing streams, and quiet moonlit nights were worth the six plus hours spent cramped in a humid van with my youngest sibling practicing his operatic solo. My finding a waterfall that emptied into the ocean and sitting on a nearby rock's edge, only four feet away from a bad accident, was a real thrill.

I didn't get much sleep though; I slept on the floor three nights in a row. The last night we slept in a giant tepee with a pine branch floor. I don't know what the natives' secret is, but it can be an oven in those tents. I could almost see them rubbing their hands with glee, waiting for the white Canadians to roast so they could feast. Well, actually, it would have been fine if only I had a pillow.

Now being sans coussin, that's really roughing it.

Las Locas 6:04 PM

My two crazy sisters have entered the world of blogging, following my bad example.

I like to think they're on the right track.

I link to them not only because they are family, but because Claire shows signs of writing talent and Angelique's sense of humor cannot be missed.

We're in for a smogasbord of delightful nonsense.

A Resolution 3:54 PM

This is a personal resolution that I scrawled in my notepad the other day:

"In my Masterpiece of Life, a wall of obstacles shall be my canvas; blood, sweat, and tears my paints, and God's divine guidance my brush."
