Things have slowed down alot since last entry in terms of craziness, and for that I'm glad to have a bit of time off to explore and do my own thing. While I love hanging out 24/7 with people, hitting bars and acting like I was back in university, I also appreciate striking off on my own, forging my own path through the urban wilderness. Maybe I'm getting old and senile. Well senile for sure. I sp... Read Full Entry

Adventures of a metalhead! My name is Jim, I'm 27, and like most of you on this site, I crave adventure! After wandering around various countries for the past couple of years, I came across this page. It will be a good place to showcase my future buffonery. Maybe I'll update it with past experiences as well. This sight needs a massive upgrade: As of July (June?) I have three more entries to throw up: Aberdeen Scotland, Newcastle UK, and Ijmuiden Netherlands. Stay tuned! I'm sloooow with putting things up. -Even more updates are needed after a computer crash (gah!). As I type this (ja... full info

The only true art piece
Howdy, I am 1 of the sculptors who was at the winterlude festival in Ottawa. The snow sculpture that you say is the only true art piece is ours. it is not a ring it is a piece about snow sculpting, there are 3 people to a team and they must come to one head in order to win a competition,They appear to be dancing because that is the way we liken our style of carving, dancing around the block. The overall shape is that of an egg, that represents the birth of the idea. This is an abstract piece and we finished third in this national competition. regards Nigel Maney, Team nova Scotia
