How Long? Not Long...Cause what you reap is what you sowe.
Ahh yes, One of my favorite quotes, the original by Dr. Martin Luther King. My apologies for not writing in the past few days. When I started writing this blog, I swore I would not go one day without writing in this. Yet Here I am, desk attending at the same time I was last week, when I began this blog. So to re-iterate. This blog so far has no specific intentions in mind. I keep sampling random song titles, or quotes from songs and putting them as headings. So what interesting things have happened over the past few days hmmm? I've noticed the effects of alcohol on my body over several days severely decreases when drinking several nights in a row. Three nights of alcohol consumption really kills your bodies ability to work come Sunday after the thrilling three nights. Granted, I'm not eighteen anymore, and will not be drinking consecutive nights anymore, because at 21 years of age, I figure it'd be wise to begin living a more situated life style of health n stuff. Atleast Humpday is over, and another two days of classes before I get to go snowboarding again. What do people write about in their blogs anyway? I'm just going with the flow of ranting before I really start getting some views, and can intertwine some comments and questions into my blog. Let's stick with alcohol related topic for this one, and I'll entertain any questions stories or comments. All you need to know is I'll be taking it easy for this weekend. For my body's sake. pc out boy scout.

Chivalry is Dead
Snowpants. Yes. Snowpants were the root of all evil today. A small group of my friends went to go snowboarding today at Crotched Mountain in New Hampshire today for a few quick hours of shredding. Shortly after our arrival and the quick removal of our equipment, my great friend, we'll say his name is Phil, finds out he does not have his snow pants, or his season pass to several mountains in the New England Area. The second item, the season pass not being a big deal, and we figure that we can just find some snowpants, or use some from an instructor, or look in the lost and found. No.
Much to my dismay, no one is willing to let a few college kids borrow a pair of pants from the lost and found. Even the instructors who work there denied us from borrowing theirs.Wow. Amazing that even at a small mountain no one would be kind enough to help us out after a two hour drive. So we figure let's go to the ski shop, they gotta be willing to let us just use a pair in exchange for us giving them our keys and wallets etc. Not a damn thing, or person was willing to help us out. Which honestly left us feeling miserable as we trudged back to the car and took a long trip home. I mean, I had all my gear, but I couldn't just leave my bro behind in the dust could I? That's just not cool. It's a shame, all we needed was a pair of large snowpants for a few measeley hours. Bastards.

Dust To Dust
All Right!
Well today, being another busy day at school ( I'll spare the details ) means it's time again for another Thirsty Thursday. The infamous title refers to every Thursday as being Thirsty because most college kids simply cannot wait until the weekend approaches to get their hands on alcohol. Among being one of the only places where it's socially acceptable to be an alcoholic for around 4 years, college drinking is apparent on any given night, but the majority of schools and students tend to reach for 40's and 30 racks just about dinner time Every Thursday. Why? You might ask, is because most colleges and students alike do not have a lot of Friday Classes. Giving time to the students to nurse their hangovers and giving ample time for the Females on Friday to do their 'walks of shame' back to their own rooms. And the stories that come out Friday morning in the dining halls. Classic. I guess in this millenium the new TGIF has changed to 'Thank God It's Thursday!'
But I promise I'll only cause a little bit of ruckus. Eeeyalata! - Cam

Where You Come From
So, maybe it's my young early energetic self at age 21 that's somehow trying to leave my print in the world, or I'm supremely bored. Yet here I am, a junior in college, with aspirations of hosting a travel show soon after I graduate from college. I'll skip the short introductions for now, as we all have a name and a story leading us to where we are now. All those memoirs and nice little memories will eventually come out in later stories I suppose.
Anyway, today is the 20th of January and here I am in the tundra known as Keene, New Hampshire desk attending in a freshmen dorm. I've been doing quite a lot of thinking, and I've finally given in to the idea of submitting my thoughts and random ideas to the internet to save some space in my brain for future cobwebs.My main reason for coming up with this soon to be awesome blog is to gain publicity in the hopes of semi following in the foot steps of Anthony Bourdain or Tim Ferris. Both are world travelers with a complete set of different experiences. I truly adore traveling as well, although my interests are more of music, adventure, sports, and skydiving, females and of course having an extreme night out then and again. I'll keep it short and sweet, I've just been thinking of all the new people that have just transferred to my school, and being a resident assistant here is awesome and a lot of fun, but with so many clashing attitudes I find it almost laughable that people seem to forget where they come from as soon as they're all alone. While I could sit here and rant about the different guises people put on everyday and masquerade around with them on, I'll leave you with the idea that Americans tend fake things. But how else would we cope with a capitalist society other than to put on a superficial face and swallow the wallows of daily life? hmmmmm deep thoughts I have this late at night. pc out doooods.
