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!

For the love of music

You know when you love something so much that while you are involved in that certain thing nothing else in the world matters? Well that is how I feel about music.

It is difficult to put into words the way I feel about music. It is almost like an all over bodly peace; your mind can take a break from the daily worries and stresses and just be overcome by the sounds coming out of the speakers. My entire body goes into a state of rest, as the sounds travel from the musicians instuments and vocals into my ears. Following through my veins which warms me up from the inside and fills my soul the way nothing else seems to be able to. I guess you could say I am in love with the music.

Whenever anything goes wrong in my life or I feel overwhelmed with emotions that I wished did not occupy my mind. The sounds of artists like Muddy Waters, Led Zeppelin and The Temptations always seem to be there to remove those emotions and fill their place with satisfaction.

Imagine the world without music! I for one cannot fathom this idea of living in a this twighlight zone! Just really think about it for a moment, what type of world would this be? Do you think their would be more chaos, more depression and loneliness? Do you think that we would not have progressed to the way we are today? Do you think we would still be living in a world full of censorship, (we already have too much in my opinion...i could not imagine more!) inequality in races and genders? Music has had such a large inpact on the earths' population, yet is just passed aside most of the time as just a form of entertainment.

The music industry has mostly moved away from transforming emotions into sounds and has become almost this white noise. It is no longer full of meanings; hurt, anger, love, happiness, loneliness, pain. It is now just a way to make money. A way for beautiful, young people to sing what some 40 year writes, hoping it will be the next 24 hour hit with the teenage population. There is no longer the connection to music anymore. We are so bombarded with this noise, it is coming at us at all directions that it is almost impossible to pick out the good from the bad. There is not enough time to really listen to a piece of music and fall in love with it, because the next day there will be something new for you to hear. 98% of it will not have the lasting power of those that came before this genre of "crap".


After all music is what emotion sounds like!

If you would like to hear real emotion listen to this song, close your eyes and let the music comsume you.
enjoy!

Sex bomb sex bomb, your my sex bomb

In about 4 months from now I will be on a airplane, on my way to the land of the Germans. What will be waiting for me there besides a mother, father and a crying 2 year old? Well there will be a sexy 6 feet tall, dark hair, green eyes and loads of sexual experience, 20 year old guy ;). So as you can imagine i am VERY excited to see him. The last time we saw each other was almost 3 years ago, i was a sexual inexperienced 16 year old girl in a foreign land for the first time by myself. And well...he was very good looking with a sexy deep accent! No we did not have sex, but he was the first person to ever perform oral on me...and my god he was AMAZING!! I am convinced it was because oh the weird "ch" and "r" sounds they make hahaha.

Anyway since i will be going back I have desided that i need to get back into shape before i can let him see me naked again! YIKES! So it is back to the gym for me, and i have been working on my tan (terrible for the skin i know i know). Hopefully i can transform my transparent white skin into something more normally seen on planet earth. But hey if this was the 1800s I would be the sexiest person alive with my pale complexion...unfortunatly it is not, so skin damage here i come!

Don't worry I am not going to lay in a tanning booth (i tried that once and OUCHIE i got a skin rash all over my body).

Two days ago I was babysitting the devil child (my mom, step dad and I call her that because we are convinced she is the spawn of satin!) and this 8 hour day consisted of going swimming in the pool three times, two trips on the bike/walking for me to the park, and jumping on the trampoline. Let me just say my skin does not appreciate it. I wore SPF 45 and still was burnt to a cripst! Now I am a reddish brownie crisp.

So hopefully I will be lovely and tanned as well as buff....like ARNOLD! He is Austrian, so if i look like him the German's will find me sexy right?

(Is that the heil hittle sign he is making?)


baby you can turn my on! Careful...you might get a little too turned on by this video you are about to watch!

Fat bottom girls you make the rockin world go round

Rain drops or roses and whiskers on kittens....These are a few of my favourite things!

Good old Germany, how happy I am to almost be back in your embrace :)

I decided that I am not yet excited enough; so I thought I would remind myself just how wonderful this little country in the center of Europe is. And you may be asking yourself, "well Katie how are you going to do this?" Well with a list of my favourite this about Germany of course!

1. Nudity on day time telvision and in fashion magazines....I always felt like a perve for reading those or watching it in public. Poor sheltered and cencored North America!

2.Being able to drink the tap water!!! It comes directly from springs and tastes like you are drinking a mountain...is it FABULOUS DARLING!

3. The food!!! I love beer, I love sasuage, I love mustard....I think I found my perfect food land!

4. Oktoberfest ;D. An entire event with the focus on drinking, eating, dancing, getting drunk and signing? Yes please!

5. Making the Germans pronounce Car...seriously try it, they cannot pronounce our "R" sound

6. Christmas Markets! I am excited to be able to participate in a not completely commercialized christmas! And the muled wine with actual chestnuts roasting on an open fire hehe.

7. The mountains; i live in the world flattest area i think! My economic teacher once said "this is the only place your dog could try to run away and you could still see it a mile away!" It sucks, i am origionally from British Columbia...so i need the mountains!!

8. Seeing my old exchange buddies. It has been three years since I have seen any of them!

9. Discos!!! They just now how to party in Germany. Plus I am thinking of dressing total GLAM ROCK and sticking out like a sore thumb haha.

10. Being in the land of the Birkinstocks! I will finally be able to wear mine without people looking at my like I am a dirty Hippy. YAAAAY! I seriously wear mine everyday from spring to winter...I don't know why I own any other summer shoes?



European version of fashion...sans clothing!




My Birks! Ingnore the ships polish and the fact that i look freakishly white...i promise I am not THAT white lol




Picture I took in Ulm...look at all the people!


OHHH and how could I forget about the crazy German music! Here is Rammstein's Du Hast. Check it out, the video kinda creeps me out though haha.

I have an addiction confession...

To documentaries....what did you really think i would air my drug addictions on the internet (not that i have one!!) haha.

Really guys it is getting bad, I am thinking of calling the show intervention to tell them about my problem; I don't think they would laugh at me, do you?

I do believe that I am and will always be; the only person in the history of high school students who did not spend that hour of watching war documentaries in history class: doodling on my binder, sleeping, listening to their ipod or texting.
Seriously i loved those videos. I cannot help it!!

I call it my inner nerd trying to excape :D

So if any of you are like me and have a weird infatuation with these videos, might i suggest a couple of my favs!!!

Evolve: This is kinda cool. I was in the middle of the second episode when i decided that i would not keep these loves to myself. Bassically it is all about how we evolved. If you have strong beliefs in creationism, don't watch cuz you will probably not like it.

The perfect vagina: Such an awsome documentary! As i am sure you have guessed (unless you are unable to read...but then why are you on my blog in that case? hehe) it is all about the female vagina and how influenced we are by "perfect" vaginas seen in porno movies and such.

What's sexy?: Basic idea of this is what makes people attracted to each other. I saw it on television a while ago and was so happy to have found it here!

Sex-Slaves: Fantastic, Fantastic, Fantastic!!! This is a MUST watch! I have been intrested in the sex trafficing business (sad to hear the word business with those two words together) for a long time. Also check out the movie Human trafficking.

Hard days night: Ok so this is actually a movie more than a documentary, but it is the Beatles so hey i thought i would include it haha. Any Beatles fan should watch....btw the actual group members are in this, not actors thankfully!

No direction home: Really intresting insight on the musical talent, Bob Dylan. A little slow at points but in general it is a good watch.

Gimme shelter: I am sure it will be no secret if you keep following my blog that I am a huge Rock fan! This concert doc is great. It is from the free concert that the Rolling Stones put on that had births, loads of drugs and a stabbing by a member of the Hells Angels. Do not fear it includes lots of filming of the sexy stones boys off stage as well ;)

The secret: I am sure you have heard of the book? Well this is the documentary...so all of you people out their who hate reading, this is GREAT news for you!!

Metal-A Headbangers journey: So i have not watched this one but I am posting it for the lovely Ginger who commented on my last post about liking heavy metal. You will have to tell me if it is good or not!

Ok i will stop now before I bore you all to death and lose anyone who is thinkign of following.

All of these can be found on topdocumentaryfilms.com

OH and did you know that the Makak monkey has sex on average once every hour...how crazy is that! yes i am random i know.



While searching for the links to give all you lovely, I found a few more that I am planning on watching!

Yes it is true my sickness should be stopped, but how can something that feels so right be so wrong?


Random sexy picture of Mick Jagger! Ahhhh. Now back to feeding my addiction
