And There Goes June
How did a whole month pass by!? Seriously, where did it go?? What happened in June...? I don't even remember... what did I do?? Wait, lets make a checklist of stuff I can remember doing...
- rock climbing
- fishing
- floor hockey
- bought a guitar
Now lets try some point form blogging!
- So I tried rock climbing and it was really fun! It was also really difficult and I definitely felt my arms burning afterward. I definitely underestimated the upper body endurance and the balance you need with your feet. It was a huge feeling of accomplishment to reach the top for any part of the wall. At the end, I tried to go up the rope climb but man, it burned my hands! For some reason I thought it would be fun to try...
- Also went fishing at Slave Lake. I don't really know anything about fishing except how to case and reel in a fish when it bites. Thats it. That said, it was a nice peaceful experience. I had my mp3 player and brought out a little chair, and just got lost into it. I managed to catch two walleyes I think? They weren't particularly large and I didn't even eat them when they got cooked later but its a fun feeling when you catch something. It is kind of a downer though when I think about how much time I spent just to catch two!! Last year everyone was catching a whole bunch.
- Next, kinda captaining a floor hockey team. Its co ed and rec, so its a fun first team. Well, I'm trying. There is still a part of me inside that dies when I see bad plays, but its all in good fun =D. We're named "The Avengers"! I love the name at least, and I've scored some goals.
- Lastly, I bought myself an Epiphone Dot, which is a copy of the Gibson ES 335. I've been kind of wanting a guitar all my own, and was trying to figure out which one. So I looked to my big influence, and Dave Grohl uses a trina lopez model which is based off of the ES 335. He actually uses some version (the headstock is different so...) in the video for Best of You (which is a messed up video). Also, Noel Gallagher of Oasis seems to use a version as well. Actually, in the following video, the ES 335 is represented (really soulful solo), as well as the acoustic i want, a hummingbird.
