lalalife

im home from my epic hike. i had intended on doing the midstate trail, but kyle heard me talkin bout it and was like i have to hike the long trail for eagle scouts and you can come if your good. so i did a bunch of day hikes with a huge ass pack to "train" hah not so much. so it was going to be 54 miles and five days through vermonts green mountain national forest. last day of school came around and i went to drews with trotto and ahmed, who is a pretty legit kid. so after i went to noahs and "chilled". After i went to kyles and him and his dad wwere fighting so we went to sams partay. she haas to be one of the nicest people in the world im glad her and derek are doing whatever they are doing idk its weird. so we brought derek back to kyles, derek was in a very good mood and complimented me many a time, he said i was the bravest kid he knew and that i was very knowlagable. haha love it. we woke up at 5 and me kyle and john daigle headed up for vermont.
we arrived at killington at around 9ish and we suited up. today we would hike 10 miles...which is a lot of hiking. The trail was remarkably smallabout 7 inches across, it was new to me i have usually hiked thw white mountains which are wide and tamed. anyways we got about halfway up the mountain when the birches changed into evergreens and it smelled like christmas. When we summited the first peak i relized why they are called the green mountains everything was green...moss covered everything. From here we hiked along a ridge for another 4-5 hours over another 2 peaks before we reached our first hostel. which is pretty much a shed.
sleep was horrid i forgot to mention i have a broken pinky toe that oi kept a secret so i could go. Also i had a chest cold so i was taking nyquil, i had the strangest dreams omfg like i giant salamander attacking me in a lake? and sleeping outside was strange. i met a man at this hostel by the name of trek. people have "trailnames" so i made mine edollo the fruitbat.next day we were awaken at 6 to make breakfast which was oatmeal....everyday.blurry sowy i was halfawake and robotripin
we got on the trail by seven and my back was killing me. this day wasnt a hard hike we pretty much stayed on top of a ridgeline so no real summits to hike, but my back flippen hurt. we descended from the ridge and found a little lake called pleiad. twould be my source of cleanliness
it was quite the spot and me and kyle are bringing up derek and dube there sometime, we then had to ascend another 4 thousand footer to get to our hostel. we reached it at 7 ish and the sun was going doen and the sunset was beautiful, and there wasnt a sign of civilization for miles...twas great.
my hands are tired i will finish later

GOoDBYE WORLD

SUCH AN good day today, i discovered things. first was my history final which was so flippen easy i studied 0.0%. i was first done and people were angered at this fact. then came art.....blake smushed my wet final and i had to redo it....c+ work, keddys pretty much gone, i wrote a letter to school last week and havent heard anything, mowalsh also is writing one, it disapoints us to see teacher being hired beacuse theyve been grandfathered. Keddy is the second most qualified teacher in the department. makes sense to replace a b.u art grad with a qcc certified elementry school teacher who is more qualified becasue theyve been watchin 7 year olds fingerpaint....?
im a little sickish so i drank some robotussin...BAD MOVE stuff messes you up. woke up like a zombie it i was so tired i couldnt get my hand to shower knob. My mom introduced me to a new old band called the butthole surfers. They are good theyre like the perfect chromosomal mix of beck and Why?. Regina Spektors new album came out litened to it liked it, i think shes pretty no one agrees. Tonight is my last night with the world, i leave tomorow morning for vermont. long trail woohah. 12-14 miles a day for five days with what i got in my pack. which is alot i filled a frame pack to the brim it weighs 17 pounds yikesss,when the eagle scouts do this trail they try and keep it under 14 so im gonna die, also i broke/ripped open my pinky toe. hurts to walk. i Need to rest tonight but its not happening everyones goin to sams so ill prolly get 3 hours of sleep. goodbye world my cell will be on from 6-7 errday call for questions or comments.

still a day

so i modded the kodak six 16 and its awesome i made aperture bigger by drilling some holes then i sealed 2 leaks and moved on to making a holder for individual 2 1/2 by 2 pieces of film paper. so long exposures and just very similar to a pin hole. it is my new toy. im gonna bring it to vermont. speaking of i just droped 220 billls on the trip on supplies and such. anyway ssome pics of ol besse,,,and my mods to her, also i have some shots of cool people and the one of patrick smoking a cigarette is cool cause i block out the bottom of his face and he looks mischevious and if i block the top he looks like a professional like ice road trucker or something, auusi est ted leo my fave person so far on the planet.

oh a day


math final was impossible i sat around thinking of ways to make scantron not read it .chem final was pieeeee shhoo eeaasysyyy. So yesterday i went with my cuz to get him furniture at this thrift store and i spied a antique camera its a kodak six-16 a fliipen mazing. bought it researched it...it takes size 616 film which hasnt been made for decades sooo i decided im gonna make it into a strait to photo paper camera with like 40 second exposures quite happy. then my mother was like oh we have a bunch of antique cameras in the basement...so sick a kodak vest pocket from like early 1900s that takes 130 film holgaesque also. im gonna pack one for my trip. i am also decidng if i should bring my phone 5 days in the woods is a mighty long time without communication. songs for today are lonely day by Phantom planet becasue it is appropriate even tho im not alone. also would beeeeee little dawn by theadore leo.in house news my front is getting done this week they started tearing down the wall last week and it looks like a fallout.oh id also like to prescribe the song Swallowed in the sea. i wish coldplay wasnt soldout/expensive

LAZY SUNDAY



first blog and im bored already, this is being made because flickr eats, and facebook blows. i had always wanted to make one but i was far to lazy. joey mentioned making one last night so i was re-motivated. it will not be full of cheezy qoutes or large vocabulary words i want to show off. Rather pictures and songs for people to enjoy and critique. chea chea. songs appropriate for a shit day like this areeeee hmmmmmm Flume by bon iver and maybe fake empire by the national. both make me want to go in a dark dark room and be lazy. this week is gonna eat, but im pumped for 5 day hike on the long trail twill be sour diesel i have begun packing for the trek and im considering bringing the cam but i break things alottttttttttttttttttttttttttt. and ive been saving up for "dajong"-cameras name, for along time its performance last night was discouraging but i was using a lens with a minimum aperature of 4.5 in pretty much complete darkness.it was still awesome the 10 minutes of ted leo i saw were grand he talked to me...sortof. hes amazing. also a big black man was eyeing dajong and walked by very close and called me and joey "blunted ass niggas" he is spot on we are blunted ass niggas.
