Weddings and roadkill and photo shoots oh my!

SO I just got back from my walk about 10 minutes ago, stopping only for a drink of cold water and to change out of my sweaty clothing because it is so freakin HOT! I just had to write about the most peculiar walk I have ever probably had.
It starts off with my quickly changing into some shorts and a loose tank top (to try to beat the heat) and ends with a sorta strange photo shoot.

So I love to go for a walk everyday...helps me clear my mind and great for getting a little exercise and fresh air. As I made it to the park today I noticed a wedding going on in the park. At first I had no idea what was going on because all I could see were rows of white chairs and bunches of white and purple balloons, then i noticed people all dressed up in suites and dresses (I automatically felt sorry for them all because after all it is HOT). I continued on in my walk, noticing a car with a German flag sticking out of the window; must be for Fifa, or that person really loves Germany...either or it is cool by me.

I continued through the dog park and preparing myself for the grotesque sight that I saw a few days ago of some kind of big water rat/ possum thing that was splattered on the gravel with the organs overflowing our of its furry, brown body. Thankfully it was long gone (feeewww). As I looped around to go back home I noticed a older man probably in his late 50s sitting on the bench in from of the river with a professional Sony camera. I said hello and smiled and continued walking when he stopped me. He asked if it were alright if he took some pictures of me....thinking to myself the worst that could happen with an old man taking pictures of me is me becoming some whack off material I said sure...why not. After all he was friendly...kinda creepy but friendly and had a shiny red bike with a basket on the front of it. I am convinced that bike riders are all good people haha. But I have to laugh because the first thing i noticed when he started to take the pictures of that his fly on is jeans were completely undone.

So he took some photos...ok A LOT of photos lol, mostly in front of a tree (nothing dirty do not worry). When this little photo shoot kept going on and on I asked him if that was all because I was now sweating like a pig about to get made into Easter dinner. He asked me if i ever thought of modeling and I just had to laugh and say no. That is probably one of the furthest occupations on my mind...after aerospace engineer of course.

I was sweaty from my walk and blotchy from the harsh sun on my pale complexion and beyond baffled why some crazy man on a bike would want a picture of me with sweat marks probably running down the armpits of my shirt. But it made him happy and it gave me a good laugh when I got back home.

He told me to meet him tomorrow and he would give me the pictures. I doubt that I will actually go. (me after a long hot walk is not something i want to remember thank you very much) And now I think I have to find a new walking area just in case he does turn out to be a psycho killer!

Morel of the story, there is none actually! I guess it is go out and find your own little old man on a red bike to take your pictures and do not give him your real name like...oh and watch behind you to make sure he is not following you back to your house, that would scare the shit out of me!

I hope you are all enjoying the weekend and the World Cup!!

New month equals new dreams and wishes

So I am a terrible blogger i admit it...I missed posting about my sisters 21st birthday, the fact that I am rushing around trying to get money and make sure I have everything set for a Visa to go to Germany (no not the credit card...i wish hehe). How I am getting back into gym mode (read a few posts back). I am terrible but HEY I am new to this entire post your life on the internet thing haha.

So I thought that I would start off this month wish a list of things that make me happy...you should tell me yours as well!

1. The cobble stone streets in old Europe
2. Listening to music
3. Winning books...for some reason that is one of my favourite things to win haha
4. My doggy Boots who is 13 years old and I will miss sooo much when i leave
5. Ice cream :)
6. The taste of fresh lemonade on hot summer days
7. How you feel after a long yoga class
8. Watching videos of Robert Plant performing, or just talking! He is very intresting to me
9. Skinny days! You know what I am talking about girls...the days you feel that you look skinny and feel fabulous!
10. Beer
And number 11, jsut because everyone always does lists of 10
11. Beautiful boys of rock and roll

Ok so come on and tell me the loves of your lives, things that give you joy or bring a smile to your face :D


Couple random facts:
1. Did you know that Keith Moon said that when the boys of Led Zeppelin formed (the known as Jimmy page's former band The Yardbirds), that they would go down like a Led Zeppelin...that is where they got their name from.
2. There is a rumor that Keith Richards snorted his dead fathers ashes
3. Most of the boys of rock from the 60s and 70s were greatly influenced by such musicians as Muddy Watters when they were growing up.
4. Jimmy Page now looks like a wizard....ok so that one is not an actual stated rumor or fact but I think he does!






Also you need to listen to Jimmy Page and the Black Crows "Live at the Greek"

Here is a little sample of the amazingnuss
Shake your money maker Jimmy!
