Well I went White Water Rafting last week in Penobscot Maine and I must say it was a very enjoyable experience. The thrill of going through each rapid knowing it may be the one that finally throws you to your death was a rush that won't be soon forgotten. Towards the end of our trip we brought our raft in to shore and climbed up a hill and jumped about 16 feet into a swirling body of water. Apparently I didn't jump far enough as, as soon as I went under the water both my feet landed on a ledge. Fortunately I had my knees bent and ended up going immediately into crouch. I say fortunately not because I was worried about breaking my massive, muscular legs but I would have hated to break the ledge off and change the beautiful underwater landscape. Highlights for me of the trip included:
1. Being thrown out of the raft at the first 15 foot drop.
2. Spending all day in one sandal after losing one in the above incident.
3. Being used as an airbag.
4. Sliding down the rock waterslide.
5. The class 5 rapids.
6. Naming a rock "Clarence"
7. Having one of our raft mates almost drown. (sorry Chris but it was intense and I am glad you survived)
8. Being bit by a snake while I was sleeping. (I suppose it could have been a hornet)
9. Resetting Scott's defective Ipod and all of his songs dissappearing.
10. Nathan MaCarthur
11. Spending time with the whole gang.
Everyone should go. If you don't think you want to risk it than go anyways. You'll most likely survive.

Highlights of Beulah for me:
1. Playing "No Bull" with Tim and Aaron in Grand Bay across from the Irving on a public bench.
2. Lots of Euchre. I finished with a record of 15 and 4. (I'm thinking Darren that that should move me up in the rankings a little bit)
3. Getting to see Emmalina again.
4. Receiving the gift of a blank card.
5. The Bethany Bash, which included Ed Grimly and Benny Hen.
6. Three Season ant concert. (but I was a little disappointed that the Grand Mananers didn't lead the way in the moshing department)
7. Using toilet paper.
8. Completing my first "triple threat" in a softball game. ( a triple threat is a hitting a homerun, breaking a bat, and getting hit in the face with the softball)
9. Entertaining kids with Sarah Canney and Val Macallum.
10. Seeing Rebecca get ordained. (playing mad gab during the ordination service)
11. Reaquainting myself with old friends.
12. Having people come up to me and say "you know I was thinking of you when the Carolina Hurricanes won the Stanley Cup"
13. Receiving congratulations and a hand shake from H. C. Wilson (hab fan) because of # 12.
14. Bud Bence
15. Butter tarts and Chicken Shnitzzle.
16. Paul's Camera story.
17. Leaving
These were my highlights. I know I probably forgot something but that is ok because I got a hug from Anthony Moore of three season ant and that will get me through any of the angry comments I receive because I didn't include you.

I'm heading to Beulah this afternoon so I probably won't be posting for at least a week and a half. While you are waiting for me to post again here are a few things that you can do:
1. Start getting ready for Ground Hog Day. It is only 7 months away and from some of the celebrations I saw last year most of you need the time to get properly prepared.
2. Write a book. Since it was my idea I'd like a measly 30% of your profits. If you don't know what to write about run around your house 40 times as fast as you can or until you pass out and the first thing you think about when you come to...write about that. (that's how I post)
3. Kick a cat. Now I like my cats but the stupid neighbour cat was fighting with my cats last night and the noise was keeping me up. I did hit it with an elastic. The cat ran out of the yard but in retrospect I do wish I had kicked it instead.
4. Make cookies. Self explanatory
5. Put on a purple thing and dance around. I know I've mentioned it before but let's be honest you haven't been doing it. Don't make me make you do it.
6. Write a song or poem about Cassidy. If you don't know who that is I pity you.
7. Insult a baby. (they can take it)
8. Start calling people "farty pants" (thank you Weird Al)
9. Start a petition. Make it a fun one. Something like "We the undersigned disagree with the governments current stand on rain. We believe more research should be done to figure out why the song Rain, rain, go away come again another day doesn't work"
That's it. See you soon.

Well most of you have heard by now Creation was cancelled. It was really too bad. Cassidy had already entertained me way more than Tim and Darren had last year. I felt really bad for the ones that didn't get to go that had never been there before. That would really suck. Next year will be insane. I think everyone should plan on going now. I'm guessing they'll probably break 150000. (people not ants)
On a lighter note my favourite Fifa World Cup team is still alive. Gooooooo Germany!!!. You may ask wouldn't Canada be your favourite team. Other than the fact they will probably never make it again I figured since all the Edmonton fans out there were calling me unCanadian for cheering for Carolina I would stop cheering for all Canadian teams. (I find most fans of Canadian teams to be countriests) (this is not to be confused with Hab fans who cheer for Satanists) BTW I started cheering for Germany even before they made the final 16 teams. There are only 4 teams left that can win the World Cup. One of them is Germany, Scott Ingalls would say and another is Italy. Scottie and Tim would remain silent as there fav teams (England and Brazil respectively) are already gone. Wow i could have my favourite team win the Stanley Cup and the World Cup in the same year. I may be the only person in the world able to say that.
