Did you miss me? Did you think I was dead? (Honestly, at some points, I thought I was dead. I have never been so tired as when I got off that plane... but here I go, already getting ahead of myself...) Well, I hope you did, and I'm not.
Things I learnt from Explore
- EDWARD SNOWDEN
- French grammar yo (had to stick it in somewhere)
- Peanut butter peanut butter peanut butter (aka I am not alone in my obsession)
- There is such a thing as too many wraps
- Also too many sandwiches
- Running twice a day is advised
- It is not possible to sing a song too many times (Elle me dit, anyone?)
- I'm not as smart as I think I am
- It is possible to be entirely consumed by mosquitoes
- I am not as socially awkward as I had always suspected (whattt)
- You need sweatpants
- No matter how sad you feel, mini doughnuts will help
- Sleep is overrated
- Dancing in the rain is not
- POURQUOI?
- I own way too many clothes
- Being pushed in a shopping cart is the way to travel
- You will never regret taking photos
- How to do the carwash (...our own special dance, too special to be explained)
- Tea is the addiction of our generation
- So is flax (go figure, people just got really excited)
- LOUIS RIEL
- Bowling= bonding
- Cold showers after long runs are the best things of life
And, most importantly:
- it is totally possible to be in love after five weeks (or even much before)
I have never met a group of people I felt this strong a connection with. At the beginning, I felt so many misgivings... but it has been the best summer of my life. I haven't been blogging as much as I might have liked, but in exchange I've definitely been living!
Welcome back, my ninja friend.
ReplyDeleteHello, friend. I wanted to stop by and thank you for being a part of my blog in 2013. You have been a blessing to me. For the coming year, I have a few wishes for you.
ReplyDeleteMay 2014 bring you much joy.
May we all have peace in our homes,
laughter by our firesides,
time spent with family,
and contentment in our hearts.
Be well, my friend.
You maaay not wanna answer me back...
ReplyDeleteyet, you DO wanna think about some things.
Lemme begin:
But, seriously, folks, as I stand-up
here on this Great Stage of our lifelong demise
(only 66ish feet across and 1-outta-1 croaks),
what's the MOST important objective in your
finite existence, dear? I certainly know what mine is:
Hope2God this provides some knowledge
on your everlasting, spiritual journey;
I may see you again Upstairs... maybe not...
depending on how well WE mortals have fulfilled
our voyage to the Great Beyond by 1) loving God
and 2) loving our neighbor to the best of our ability.
Why else does a moth fly FROM the night
than to a bold, attractive candle Light??
Don’t let His extravagant Brilliance be extinguished.
You’re creative, yes?
Then, fly-away with U.S. to the antidote…
Whether you obtain morality4mortality to wiseabove
or just glean tantalizing specimens for thy next best seller,
you shall find in our blogs a lotta (subliminal) moxie
which has taken this sinfull mortal yeeeeers to compile!
I lay it ALL out for you, dear, with All-Star-Oxygems:
Wouldn’t ya love an endless eternity
of aplomBombs falling on thy indelible cranium?
An XtraXcitinXpose with no zooillogical-expiration-date?
An IQ much higher than K2 all-go-rhythm?
An extraordinarily, anti-establishment-victory
with both sardonic, satirical wit Who’s savvy
and avant-guarde-humility??
Here’s what the exquisite, prolific GODy sed
(with a most-excellent-detector of bull§ht):
“Faith, hope, and love,
the greatest of these is love –
jump into faith…
and you’ll VitSee with love”
Doesn’t matter if you don’t believe (what I write);
God believes in you.
Meet me Upstairs, girl, where the Son never goes down
from a super-passionate, lucrative iconoclasm where you’ll find
nonillionsXnonillionsXnonillionsXnonillionsXnonillionsX…
of deluxe-HTTP [<- pi] opportunities for excitement BTW.
Do it. Do the deed, dude. Sign into the Big-Zaftig-House.
