BEST Halloween EVER!!!

Not to make people I have hung out with on Previous Halloweens feel bad but this last halloween was Crazy... Let me tell you the story.

It started Saturday Evening, A bunch of people were going to go up to an abondend Prison to look around and explore. While talking with one of my friends about what the group was going to go do she said "Why don't we go and scare them?" So that was the plan.

We left half an hour after the large group left the school (there was roughly 11 people going up to the prison) so Colleen and I drove out after them. We were hoping that the group had found the spot where they needed to walk up to the prison so that we could park our car a little bit aways from them and then follow them through the bush and then scare them once they were in the prison. We were getting close to the spot where their cars should have been when we rounded a corner and saw their 3 vehicles... But the cars were still on so we couldn't stopped. I had unknowingly slowed down so I sped off past the spot they were. Once out of sight I turned the car around and just left my 4 ways on. While we were sitting there trying to figure out what to do one car pulled back onto the road and started driving towards us.

I panicked, I didn't want them to pull up and ask me if i needed help because then our cover would have been blown. So I started up the car and took off the way we had came (I threw my brights on to make sure they couldn't see it was my car) we parked the car around the bend and ran out into the bush towards where they cars had been. When we got insight of where the cars should have been they were gone and we saw their lights driving away down the road.

Back to the car we ran and we drove after them. When we caught up with them they were up a short road in the bush. we parked the car on the side of the road and crept up on them. Colleen and I were confused for some reason they weren't shutting their cars off. after a while the 2 vehicles (they left one car at the first spot we found them) started to drive back towards the road. we sat in the bush and watched as they turned back towards where they had originally came from and shortly after they spotted my car... They were really confused. (I told them I was going camping that night) So they set off to scare us, They drove off down the road and turned back into the bush.

Now Colleen and I do not like to lose and we didn't want them to scare us before we scared them. We wanted to move the car but didn't want them to see the lights. So just like in the Sound of Music we bushed my car down the road. We lucked out because it was a gradual slope the way we wanted to go. We rolled down the windows so we could push the car and if need be jump into the car (Dukes of Hazard style) and drive off. we got the car rolling about 20 Km/h down the hill so we ended up sitting in the window coasting down the hill. we never saw their vehicles...........

So we eventually started the car and drove up some paths to find them, No where to be found. So we decided to drive back aways and retrace where they could have gone. While driving back towards where they spotted my car we saw them turning their cars around on the road and they spotted us. We drove of screaming as we did and eventually went around some corners and turned down a side road and turned off the lights.

They never came... So we decided to go on the offence and find them, while driving we decided to go back to the one car they left behind and either do something to the car or wait their for them. It was now 1230 and they had left CBC at 930 and we figured they couldn't be out for much longer. One of the car windows was opened slightly and we made a slipknot with some string to unlock the door, the first attempt failed due to not having a strong enough string. so we were working on making a thicker string when all of a sudden we saw headlights and a car started to drive by. It was them, we dropped to the ground and then dove into the bush 20 feet from the car. while lying in the bush we heard them disscusing going back. I was sure they had given up looking for Colleen and I but as they drove back towards abbotsford they saw my car again and they all stopped. we were to far away to hear what they were saying but we had a good time laughing at the fact they kept on finding the car and not us.

After that we made our way to were people were actually camping and we woke them up by running and stomping our feet and yelling (at 2 am) after a short discussion with them we headed to our friends house to wake her up (at first we were going to scare her because she was home alone but we decided not to) so then Colleen, Becky and Myself hung out at beckys house from 2-4am, and then I went to bed at 430...


Best Halloween EVER!!!

What Is enough?

What is enough? When is it enough? Why is it enough? This is what has been on my mind lately. I am not even sure what there is to discuss. What does it mean to live with enough? How much money is enough? How many bikes are enough? How much food is enough?

I could go on an on with these questions but in the end the word "Enough" still needs to be defined. I think in the end everyone has their own definition of enough. For some people making minimum wage is enough, for others it has to be 15 dollars or higher.

So my question to you is what is enough for you? Where ever you are living and what ever your circumstances are. Do you know what enough is?

a sample for the next blog

Why is it that you can't do everything you want to do? Why can't people do what they want to do all the time when it helps others? Why if I am a "Fixer" can't I do it all the time?

a mysterious life full of unending surprises and thoughts... This is where I find my self




More to come

I hate when i have a hard time thinking of a title

shoot I was going to write something but then i was like hey, why don't i throw it down and make a stencil for my shirt for school tomorrow.... Im going to use the lion

what now

Can you say haven't blogged in a while? I can. What to write I don't even know. I will start with the basics.

the social side of school is good, Im enjoying hanging out with people and having a good time. Its what im good at...

In class stuff isn't to bad. I really enjoy some of my classes, don't mind others, and really dislike pretty much just one.

My life isn't to busy, i just find it hard to sit down and reply to emails and blog. There is so much going on at all times.
me and my roomies are using painters tape to decorate our room walls.

I visited with my grandparents today, that was good.

I got my first A- ever in college today.

I hung out with different people today

I lived today.

I set new goals today.

I decided that every class i have I am going to sit in a different spot. I have noticed that humans are indeed creators of habit. I get tired of walking into a classroom and sitting in the same seat every time.

Why do we do this?

Why do we settle with what we know?

Why don't we explore more and experiment more?

I am going to start trying to find geo cashes with my new GPS maybe Ill find one on my way to vernon or on the way back.

Ill let you know how it goes.

Passion = strong and barely controllable emotion

Tonight when I should have been asleep hours ago I am honored. In a world that all to often seems to be lack much, I have been blessed to be surrounded by people of Passion. I can feel my heart pumping and my body shaking. It is one thing to see passion but to experience Passion, to live Passion, to be Passion.

I saw and felt a mans passion this morning and he walked by our group telling us to be leaders and to smile and man did our group see his passion. I Experienced Passion tonight when talking with my bud dan about the future and some crazy plans we have for next year. And just now I heard something and experienced something that was pure passion and inspiration and just plain EPIC. turns out my Room mate is amazing. If you got to http://www.abandontheskyline.com/ you can download 4 free songs that he has done. simply amazing.

Here is a little slide show of some pictures from my trip on the coast. Its to the tune of my room mates song.

Birthdays

This is true, It is in fact my birthday tomorrow. Im not sure how to intro this topic but ill try my best.

Some people love to throw parties, it doesn't matter what the occasion is they just love to throw parties. Other people don't care what the party is for they just don't want to have to plan it. Then there is me, I can throw a party but I don't really enjoy it. I do enjoy showing up and hanging out with people.

Now this is where I get weird I enjoy the stage, I thrive off of crowds. Not to sound conceded but I feel as if the spotlight naturally shines on me. I am loud and can make people laugh. However when someone else directs the spot light on me and then let people know somethings about me that may seem impressive I tend to shy away.

It has happened a few times over the past week. Mostly surrounding my birthday. People would ask me if my birthday was coming up soon and I would shy away from the questions by giving a skewed answer or by changing the subject quickly. Some people find this aggravating, other could care less. So I guess I will see if I can rationalize this behavior.

To me my birthday is just another day. In reality it means that I am now one day closer to my death.(Ahaha this sounds depressing, not how I meant it to sound) But seriously, in my mind tomorrow will be just like any other monday.(except for the fact that I am in school and I can not remember the last monday where I had to sit in a classroom)
When It comes to other peoples birthdays I love to celebrate, I love making people smile and doing stuff for people. I just have a hard time letting the favor be returned.

I don't feel the need for parties to be thrown on my behalf, although they can be fun. Material gifts are not a necessity, I would be lying however if I said I didn't appreciate the gesture.
All I need for tomorrow is a breath in the morning to know that I am alive. To shut my eyes when the light gets turned on first thing in the morning. To wake up knowing my family still loves me (How could they not...ahaha). And to wake up and spend the day trying to make other smile.

Those things are what I truly need. (and 7 hugs a day as my aunt would recommend)
