About Me

“The moment inbetween what you once were, and who you are now becoming, is where the dance of life really takes place.” ~ Barbara De Angelis "Nothing happens without personal transformation." I decided one day I wanted to change. I wanted more from life. I realized that if you want more, YOU have to make it happen. You have to go to it and create it. The most powerful weapon against a mediocre life is practice. And just like a fire, the human spirit needs to be lit again each day.

September 26, 2007 My Backpacking Class...

Not sure yet where our trip will be in late October. I'm excited, but after tonight, I feel a bit overwhelmed.
However, it was a pretty cool class. There's a lot i knew from growing up with parents who loved the outdoors and loved camping, etc. We just never backpacked. But there's a lot I did not know about for sure that I found out tonight.
I'm just now getting back into the outdoors again. I am re-learning old things and learning new things! :)
Like how to crap in the woods! I could go a week or more w/o a shower and so not care. Seriously! As much as I love my hair and looking nice, it is such a pain in the ass to get all fixed up! And if everyone looks and smells like shit...what the hell!!! And besides, I don't wash my hair every day anyway! However, I just don't know about the crapping thing. Pissing is no big deal...hell, I used to do that right in Five Points back in college when the restroom lines were too long! But taking a crap in the woods? And I hope to God I'm not PMSing that weekend! I need to check my calendar!
And the only other thing I'm worried about is the mileage with a 30 pound pack on my back!!! Yeah! We will see if I can even walk that Sunday morning!!!
