There was a MOOSE but its getting hotter


It has been and interesting summer and time is flying. It seems like the past few weeks have been the best i have had in a long time. My time has been spent mostly working and swimming in the river. Recently my friend Sean and I floated down the river for about an hour and we were just standing on the shore of the river and we hear something move on the other side of the river and out comes a giant Moose! I will be honest it scared the hell out of me. It was probably 40 yards from us and just drank water and stared art us for about 30 minutes. It was quite the spectacle since were only about 10 miles out of town.

 The last few weeks have been really warm and the only thing to cool us down is to go to the river. It's not that cold to us but to some it might be freezing. This river we swim in is so clear and clean. You can see the beauty in nature so well. Sean and I were standing in the water while fish came up and nipped at our legs and hands. Here is a poem I wrote to express my life the last few days:

Our Life Will Pass
There is so much going on that we never notice
and it has been such a mesmerizing experience
to just sit and watch nature
for once. 
The stars will still burn and the money
makers will still have their dough
but how much will we miss 
by not taking the time
to just sit
and become a part of nature
for just one day?

So its already August?

I can't believe that it is already August. Time has flown so fast during the break. I can admit that i haven't really done anything besides work and see Cowboys and Aliens. I am trying to finish up a documentary for my friends band Corsair Wolves so they can release it with their cd in September. I have started growing a beard though and I am not planning on shaving until I start school in January. Because I am off track in the fall I have moved from my old apartment and into an even older apartment. Its not a bad house but i still am not comfortable at night sometimes for some reason. My bed is terrible and i have back pain daily some times hourly from my shitty bed I am sure. I have spent time making the house smell nice and look more appealing from when we moved in, but you can only polish a turd so much. I have realized that my never ending search for new music has a easier way of manifesting itself to me with the great program known as Spotify. I can stream almost any album ever made. What i do, and you can do what ever you want with it, is use my Pandora to find new bands and then use Spotify to listen to the rest of the albums. It has been a great week for finding music and i am recommending that everyone check out the band The New Christs. So good! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rAdUhBF9IVk
