Brian Needs an Adventure.

I need an adventure, but perhaps you have figured that out already. The reason I say that is because I need a fresh picture to update you with. I was going to go on an adventure today; however, due to my overuse of my Pentax lately, coupled with my forgetfulness, I forgot to charge the battery. It is charging, as we speak.

So here is a picture of a long past adventure:

As far as it goes.

This was a beach adventure with some South African friends we met here. Pebble beach is arguably one of the better beaches I have been to here. No fine white sand - as is the norm on this island - but big pebbles. Lot's of them. They give great colour and texture when the light is right and the water hits them. In fact, I got some sweet exposures that day, including one of my favourites:
'ole Rusty

I was once a functioning pipe, but I'm not too sure what it's function was. It did lead into the ocean, but WHO WOULD WANT OCEAN WATER? Perhaps, this is where water was originally pumped into the ocean; this is highly probable, considering the archaic look of the thing.

Actually, a more probable hypothesis is that it may have once pumped water out of the ocean. Considering its decrepit state, and the fact that there is a colossal hole in it - as colossal as holes get in pipes - this would explain the rising sea levels we are experiencing lately. Forget melting ice-bergs, those theories are outdated; only mad men would believe in such radical arguments.

I may be... I am correct in my hypothesis, but for the life of me, I still cannot figure out why anyone would want vast amounts of NaCL water. Anyone out there got any ideas?

On a side note - (!!!! BRAINWAVE !!!! - I will get back to this later#$%@) - I am sitting here between two Macbook Pro's. Gah, one serves a graphic designer and the other a writer. I'd like to comment on the most persausive attribute to the Macbook's of late by making a simple observation.

I have been here for the past 2.5 hours. Both Mac's have been here for as long, or if not longer. The difference between me and them: They don't have a robust power cord weaving through chairs and floorspace to the nearest outlet. Their batteries must be self-sufficient or something. Maybe they do actually last 10 hours.

#$%@ - I FOUND A NAME FOR MY BLOG!
I think it suits the fact that my blogs have an atmosphere of randomnity to them. (RANDOMNITY IS A WORD - I SWEAR THE DICTIONARY IS WRONG!)

Hamba Kahle :)

I AM STILL ALIVE...



I am here to write a blog...
I am here to write a blog...
I am here, to write a blog...
I am, here to write... a blog.....
Where am I? I'm at Starbucks... My interenet is down at my house, so here I am...to write a blog. As one of the three followers I have might know, I have not updated this in quite some time. I can not make the excuse that my internet is down, because here I am, sitting in Starbucks, writing my blog, without breaking much of a sweat. It's something I should have been doing regularly.
Right... so... life as I know it now is something like this (for those of you who care): I am working fulltime at the Butchart Gardens. If I am not working, I am out on an adventure somewhere. I rarely spend time at home besides an hour before and after I sleep. Adventures can be anything from photogging around with someone, to carving up unknown territory somewhere, to trekking down to starbucks to catch up on things.
...Oh right, I don't have much time to do this because I procrastinated earlier on flickr and in a couple of moments, I will be leaving to play some ultimate Ultimate-Frisbee.
On the subject of flickr:




I figured out I can do THAT!
(that is, copy and paste html... no big deal)

For those three established readers I have, enjoy... For those people that read this whom I know, that have told me, but have not actually legitimized their relationship with my blog... GET ON IT! You can expect some beefier posts in the future...

It's always great to know who reads this thing. Most of you out there that follow this from Fakebook have a gmail account and can comment/add my blog to their cyberlife. So why not? As well as that, I encourage you all to write a blog... We can be blog buddies... It would be SWELL.

Oh yes, photo Info...
The shot of me taking a photo was obviously not taken by me... It is marvelous, and I stole it from Kristina K... there is no messing around when it comes to her and her pictures. She is also too lazy to post it on facebook, so I took the liberty of doing it myself.
The other one is what I saw through my camera a few moments later...

:)

Happy? (to those who have been urging me to do something about my blog)

I am...
