This thing.

There's this thing called love
it fills your heart
if you get just the right amount
it can turn your world around
its bright light
its up in the ether
you can give it,
you can take it
its priceless.
you, its all yours
its everyone's around you
your heels come off the ground a little higher every step
you float higher than any building,
its watching the clouds go by
its the sun,
spreading its glowing trace on everything it touches.


There's this thing called love
it fills your heart
its a box of crayons,
every colour, lining the horizon.
one by one
there is nothing like it on earth,
its a drug,
you can't over dose,
you don't run out.
its like a sponge.
you can wring it out,
there is always a little bit left.
a little light fades,
there is starter in this blood
to burn the sky bright white.
for any and all that remain.

this thing.

Stresses

What is the most stressful thing i have done in my 29 years of living. No it wasn't going to college and stressing out about grades it wasn't about my life choices in what i was going to do as a career, its not getting certified for my present job title, its not doing further training to solidify me as a valuable employee, it wasn't flying for the first time last week, and it isn't driving through the big smoke while under time restraints downtown during rush hour traffic.

I am a pretty relaxed fella so i like to think, my Mum says I get that from her and that its my Dad who is the worrier (that is apparently where my brother gets it, neither of them will like that i wrote that, you know what i say to that F-em). So ya i like to think im pretty chill, don't get to bent out of shape over things remain calm under pressure and all that jazz. But what has bothered me as of late, and actually made me feel stressed out, Is buying a fucking house I tell ya its stupid and bothersome trying to organize all this stuff paper work, lawyers, mortgage people at the bank and Real estate agent well hes good shit, he doesn't bother me at all, hes done his job and hes done it pretty well for two years..... we are picky and aren't under a time restraint. And the home inspector, hes good too I like him pretty friggin blunt and on point for everything he has thought about the house and what we can do, and up for suggestions and such, and friggin report on the house emailed the night of the home inspection.

bi-cycle, bicycle

Its a thing,

Two wheels, frame, human is the prime mover, has gears multiple or two, handlebars.

I went on a little trip with my neighbour. Along the Trans Canada Trail, from Lindsay to Campbellford. It was fun, I was surprised at how well I was doing, though it got a little tougher once we hit the 82 or 84 km mark my legs didn't seem to want to go any further. Took a couple extra breaks.

I thought something was rubbing on my rear wheel maybe the brakes or or maybe something from my saddlebags(panniers) but nope totally just my legs telling the to F-off.

Got the Campbellford, got to the motel, showered changed and had a Burger at The Bridge Eatery and Public House, pretty fancy little spot for a small town, the burger was awesome, and the specials sounded long winded but fantastic(sign of a good place right?), but I just really wanted a burg.

Had three beers and that about did me in, fell asleep watching The Simpsons or some stupid discovery show thing about cars.

NO POO: Hair cleaning, Degreasing, Deodorizing.

Vinegar

Baking Soda

Hair Care

Gross.(not really though)

I have been washing my hair for that last 2 years give or take a few months, with Baking Soda and Apple Cider Vinegar.

I have tried this method off and on a few times, with long hair and short hair. Works better for me with short hair, as it fried my long hair but that could have been the way I was doing it.

The first few times I kept a container of dry baking soda in the shower just dumped a little in my hand and added enough water to make a paste. Then tried to evenly distribute it through my long locks. That fried my hair, I gave up after a few try's.

Then I cut my hair and donated my pony tail to Locks of Love for wigs for children, it made my heart feel good.

Well then I tried it again with short hair same process, made a mess of my hair again. Gave up again! F-this noise I tells ya.

So I did some more research, and I can't remember if I followed someone elses idea or plans or if I just made them up myself, in this case pffff, I made them up myself, "those who dout me........" add your own profanities, expletives this is family friendly... Well I try. It's a quote from the HBO show Deadwood, you get my drift, It has a lot of swearing in it, and crude comments, it is fantastic.

So we found some glass jars with cork style lids at a yard sale or thrift store or someplace like that.

The tools and ingredients - water

 For the baking soda I take a little more than a handful of baking soda load that into jar then add water to fill the jar put the lid on shake it up.

Then for the Apple Cider Vinegar, I fill up the jar 1/3 up then top off with water, put the lid on, shake.

The How To, NoPoo

This method has been working very well for me the last two years. Now your supposed to be able to ween yourself off of this stuff, when your hair starts "naturally" cleaning itself, I have never gotten to that point my hair gets pretty gross if I don't wash it for more then two days. I thinks its all a load of what? you may ask your self, BULL, ya maybe if you don't do to much with your day and sit around in an extremely Air conditioned building then you might be able to get away with weening your self off. Me? no I'm in the heat and humidity too much, just doesn't seem plausible.

Final product with its relatives

Now these two containers last me about 3 showers a piece, I don't use the Vinegar wash every time, just like you don't use conditioner every time, unless you do then go for it. 

Day of the Gardening

So we have spent a few days planting our tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, flowers, weeding the gardens, and the community garden beds while weeding our garlic bed found this pretty little moth.

Good? Bad? I don't know but I left it there.

Salt Marsh Moth apparently, I looked it up could be wrong.

Wow

I have been bad at this lately, I have not written a thing in quite awhile now.

First off gardens are coming together, back yard is a mess, big circle fenced off from the dogs trying to grow some grass there, and trying to get grass in the front also, its full of weeds, I don't really like grass I think its rather stupid why would you put something on your property that you constantly have to work at and spend your hard earned money for a fancy lawn mower, grass seed, time and energy. But that is what people want and if you want to sell your home you gotta make it look the way people want it. People are stupid..............

Second off...... i will get to the second later.

Well that's that. Peace I'm out.

Wow its been a while

I haven't written anything in a while, been busy at home and worth. Not a whole lot of time to sit around.

But everything is green and starting to bloom. My pretty little lady friend got up early and decided to go get some Lilacs, they are beautiful and smell awesome.

Unwrapping the layers

Peeling back the layers one by one of matted straw and leaves to reveal the ground with all the critters and bugs vacating for the season, worms, millipedes, beetles and the little mouse highway zigzagging and around and around, pulled the roof off all that fun to bring my garlic to the light. checked them out a few days ago, they were busting through the layers of mulch just raring to go. So I went to assist, took the layers off that were weighing them down. There were a few that were struggling to get through, got a little bit of a bend to them. The larger cloves must of gotten a shove out with the frost, they were sticking straight up on top of the ground pushed them back in and covered the clove with the earth. almost all of them seemed to have sprouted, but I found another one laying on its side not in any of the rows so I put that one in the place of a dud that was rotted when I dug it out. We re-mulched with straw and are hoping for the best.
