Shakin The Bacon

i spent the weekend at Tyler's in Minnesota. With Mike and Matt as well. Definitely nice to get away from Prov for awhile, see some new scenary. Well, not really - where Tyler lives is not at all very different from where i live here. Even though Tyler tells me that it seems smaller. Other than about one mile (they don't have kilometers over there) where the road was closed in by trees, i didn't really think so. i think Ontario when i think smaller looking scenary. Sorry Ty.

Anyhow, our time in Minnesota was mostly characterized by playing the infamous game of Pass The Pig. This game itself warrants a completely valid reason for writing about our time in Minnesota! If you have never played Pass The Pig understand that you are missing out on a very extreme excitement and adrenaline-filled experience that comes from quite possibly the simplest game invented. i have been searching everywhere to find Pass The Pig since last year, when i was introduced to it, and discovered that it is quite possibly the last piece of essential "gear" that needs to be included on any backpacking (or other) trip from then on. Rachael, Renee, Erick, Alex and Matt - remember backpacking in KILLARNY? Some of the best games of Pass The Pig i have ever played, absolutely halarious. Mind you, just about everything was halarious on that trip after we all went dillusional and crazy after i think the first day! Anyhow, getting back on track, you can imagine my utter disbelief and hysteria upon discovering that not only did Tyler and Matt know the game, but both actually own it!

Suffice it to say, Tyler, Mike, Matt, Nate and myself definitely enjoyed many not-so-quiet rounds of Pass The Pig well into the wee hours of the morning. Ah, this is the good life. Especially watching Mike lose ALL his points three times in one game! And we still were able to watch random funny movies after all that excitement.

i love how the basic, sporadic things in life are always the greatest times. i love how the simplest things in life make up the best memories. i love friendships.

so let me have your hand and all else be forgot
and we'll live frozen in a clockless time for now
because soon i will not feel this anymore
soon knowing this will be gone
