I'm over it.

Pura Vida, Costa Rico.

I have never placed myself in such uncomfortable circumstances and am so grateful to have done so.

I am learning a lot living this life, experiencing this culture.

Happy Valentine's Day.
I dont really know why we celebrate this day or who Valentine is... but to me, its a day to recognize your love and appreciation for divine existence. May Love fill our hearts, mind, and body.

mother fucking santa claus gave me a steaming pile.

...


It hurts so bad.
the death of my remaining love for him decays my heart.
A moldy white puss pumps into my vains
leaving me intoxicated.

It hurts so bad,
The part you don't see.
He's fucking a dummy,
wont ever find me.
self love is important...
All mine was given away
to a beatless heart
jaded by youth.


Its time i focus my love inward. I gave too much away and am underloved by the people i trusted to fill me up.
Funny, i guess my love has to become selfish in order for me to selflessly love all.

I had a really interesting experience with a traveler the last day I was in town. While walking down the glittery streets of Ashville, I passed a man with in a neon blue knit hat and a blanket pack bundle he wore on his back. He had hazel eyes, dirt defining wrinkles, and a smile that split his face, ear to ear.
We caught a glance of each other and our smiles only grew large enough to portray half of the love that we shared. In the strangest way of explaining, it felt like our male and female energies combined and shot up and out to share our happiness with everyone within a mile radius. It was a beautiful moment.

Bliss. Peace. Bliss

Than when we drove our hearse
Right through that screaming crowd
While laughing up a storm
Until we were just bone
Until it got so warm
That none of us could sleep
Then all the styrofoam
Began to melt away
We tried to find some worms
To aid the decay
But none of them were home
Inside there catacomb
A million ancient bees
Began to sting our knees
While we were on our knees
Praying that disease
Would leave the ones we love
And neve come again
And on the radio
We heard November Rain
The solo's real love
But its a pretty song
We listened to it twice
'Cause the DJ was asleep
This is how it works
You're young until you're not
You love until you don't
You try until you can't
You laugh until you cry
You cry until you laugh
And everyone must breathe
Until their dying breath
No this is how it works
You peer inside yourself
You take the things you like
Then try to love the things you took
And then you take that love you made
And you stick it in to some -
Someone else's heart
Pumping someone else's blood
And walking arm in arm
You hope it don't get harmed
But even if it does
You'll do it all again...


-Regina Spektor.

Life in a lyric.

We sang songs about walking up streams and picking purple rhododhendron flowers and sticking them behind each ear. It took us about an hour to put a bag together to go on an adventure in the woods. We packed two bananas, a bundle of grapes, two headlights, a santa claus hat, 130% vitamin C grapefruit juice, snickers bar, and our wonderful imagination.
As we were walking out the door, our friend Charlie showed up and gave us a ride. We brought my lighter to battery converter so we were able to plug in a psychodelic colored flashing light as we drove along the windy roads listening to Andrew Bird and the Shins.

The walk was beautiful. the visuals, outstanding. I immersed myself in the fast moving water above the waterfall. I sang and played with the water, our life force. I was rich with river jewls; they were electric as they swam upstream.

The rest of the night we hiked around without our headlights and just felt, smelled and heard our way through the forest.

what a beautiful night.

I feel renewed.

The festie itself was pretty fun. I ended up dancing a lot, by myself or with this old eighty year old harmonica player from the band, Orange Crush. He kept asking me why none of the strapping young kayakers danced with me...
I think they were intimidated by him.

All and all, i would have to say paddeling the river was by far more fun then the actual festival. Hail to the Gauley...

they all prick me.

im healing only through the loving energy of my dear friends.

even though im stuck in these cloth like garbs and tubes gangle from my arms, my mind is elsewhere. my mind is pacing over something distant and unreal.

im missing somthing. not a shower...
not a friend...

Im missing my love for loving someone else.

I'm ready to love. Im ready to love more then myself and everything around me, im ready to love the warm hands and words of a significant other.

manifestations may you unfold before my eyes. let it be.

Princeton and there are all kinds of hobbit like dwellings and TP's and such. The past weekend they had a huge hippie family reuniun. SO MUCH FUN!!!!
Music, food, drugs, more drugs, and lots of smiling, dancing free spirits loving eachother around the fire. Sadly, i forgot my camera, but was probably a blessing, the first night, and have some neat shots from the less ethuasatic party nights.

Im glad I was able to party it up my last couple nights here in Colorado. It's been amazing.

Now I am off to one of the Earth's energy centers, Crestone, Colorado.

Some more good people, food and music.

Love and Gratitude.

"I don't know. Whats it like? Not sure if im ready for that yet..."

"Sure you are, we'll keep you safe." says the boy behind the counter. "Pick me up at 6."

"Well..."

"You'll be fine, you did great in the Canyon yesterday" Tom gives me a wink.

We strapped 7 boats to the car and went to eat some supper.

*6pm*
Pickin up the boy from shop, I was a little nervous. I went in, looked at teh guide book and saw that high water was 2200 CFS. class 4+, which is BIG Shit...especially for me who's used to the East coast whitewater scale. If you asked me, I could class it 5.
"whats the level?" I ask...
"2900"
thats 700 cfs over what the book even recognized.
We met up with Tom and Pete at the put in. Not sure what to expect, I stretched, did some breathing meditation, and tried to relax myself.

*6:30pm*
Im on the water.
ITS HUGE!
never had i seen such big breaking waves and giant holes to recirculate you and work you in every way. I didnt realize until then how much the altitude took my breath away. I flipped in a giant hole and quickly uprighted myself.
Now nervous and seeing what to expect, I must have looked somewhat like a ghost. I knew I was in for it. This was the next step in boating. I was doing it, living it, breathing it.
about an hour passed of nonstop whitewater. I wasnt even paddeling anymore, all i had to do was rudder and keep my boat straight through the waves and pump my paddle only when punching holes.

*8pm*
Ive made it down the majority of the big rapids. Im doin great, my confidence is up and spirits high. Right when i express this with my crew, I flip in a giant wave into a massive hole. I get worked, i relaxe. I set up my paddle to roll, but somethings not right. Im on my off side. I almost get up, a wave knocks me back over. I try again, just to get some air, i gasp, get nothing but water. Now waters in my airpipes. My body starrts to freak, so does my mind. I'm running out of oxygen. I scramble around until i find the pull cord to my skirt. I push out and hold onto the Pete's paddle that i borrowed. I was not gunna loose it. I tried to grab my boat. It must have been a hundred or so pounds with all the water weight. both me and the boat get surfed in a giant hole and i let it go. gasping for air, i cant get a full breath. wheezing like an asthma attack, i felt like i was only getting maybe 1/6th of a breath. not even.My lifejacket was so tight, the water was snowmelt cold, every breath was partially water, and the altitude robbed me of my breath.
i tried to scream to let the crew know i was swimming, but couldnt even do so.
"GRAB ON!" Tom hollers.
i finnally grab onto the loop of his boat. still unable to breath, we get tossed in holes and pushed over rocks.
I finally get to shore. I stand up and release the water from my drytop. I was speechless. terrified.
"you okay?" Tom asks.
I just shake my head unable to speak.
"just walk up the railroad tracks, they'll intesect the river shortly. We'll get your boat, no worries."

I get up the cliffside and see the beautiful purple mountains against a pinkish orange sky and fall to my knees crying. i hold my head. Trying to process what just happened, i cant even think. My head is blank. Im stripped of emmotion, but can't help but cry.
I stand up. Im in the desert like jungle of cactus and dead trees. my vision is blurry, and im stumbling around. I feel the water i just ingested and breathed. I walk down a long straight railroad pass and cant help but cry. On and off for 20 minutes, it was uncontrollable. I didnt even know why i was crying, but it felt so good. It was the only way to release my fear, my thankfullness to be alive, my love of the water.
I bend over and try to throw up, nothing comes out.
Minutes later i burped up air and water in my stomach. I then hear a faint cry.
"you find my boat?" i scream.
"YOOOOWHOOOO!!!"
I run towards the water, i see them about a quarter mile away. They found my boat!
*8:30pm*
I get back in my boat, back into the water which i felt almost took my life like the other seven people who have been swallowed and died this summer.
The sun is setting and its getting dark. Every rapid the visiblity was lower and lower. I need to eat more carrots, i thought to myself. Dodging huge holes and punching wave trains, i could see but ten feet in front of me. By the last half mile of the river, it was as dark as it was gunna get. No moon, just clouds above. The last rapid was huge as water poured over frog rock and created two huge holes on both sides of the river. Nipping the sides of each one, i paddled my heart away to get through that last obstical.
"Lets eddy here! I dont know the river from here on down."

We pull... ]]> ~kimbrr http://kimbrr.deviantart.com/journal/19079659/ http://kimbrr.deviantart.com/journal/19079659/ Fri, 27 Jun 2008 16:56:38 PDT
i feel comfortable with mother mountain. She brings such abundance of energy, life, and love into my life. Alone I traveled here, and have now met a family of friends. I have photographed a great deal of my travels and experiences with such wonderful spirits.



Wherever you live,
Live Cheerfully.

Not only grades have given me this sensation, so has kayaking. I paddled the Top Yough yesterday and perfected what us kayakers call the "BOOF!" move...
its named after the sound your boat makes when its launched off a waterfall and hits the water. SHWEEEET!
This was the biggest water ive ever paddeled and theres no way I can say I wasnt scuured, cause I was. I had two very trusty friends that lead the way and played safety. Thats one thing about adventure sports that is very present, the bond that forms between you and fellow adventurers is an unbreakable trust.
Oh, what a way to start the summer...
In the next couple weeks, ill be out of the house, and into the wild.
Peter Sibrin, a fellow deviant, Chelovek, check him out if you havnt, is moving to Deep Creek to be a raft guide with me this summer. We're planning to live out of a tree house that we'll soon begin to build. I hope this doesnt hault his art in any way. A tree house isnt the best place to store artwork..
anyways, pray for rain...bring them rivers on up!

accumulated enough frequent flier miles). Here, they meet a Martian
couple and are talking about all sorts of things.

Mike asks if Mars has a stock market, laptop computers, how do they
make money, etc. Finally, Maureen brings up the subject of sex.

"Just how do you two do it?" asks Maureen.

"Pretty much the way you do." the Martian responds.

A discussion ensues and finally the couples decide
to swap for thenight and experience one another's styles!

Maureen and the male Martian go off to a bedroom where the male
strips. He's got only a teeny, weenie...about half an inch long and a
quarter inch think.

"I don't think this is going to work," says Maureen!

"Why?" he asks, "What's the matter?"

"Well," she replies, "It's just not long enough to
reach me!"

"No problem," he says, and proceeds to slap his forehead
with his palm.

With each slap of his forehead, his unit grows until it's quite impressively long.

"Well," she says, "that's quite impressive, but it
is still narrow."

"No problem," he says, and starts pulling his ears. With
each pull, his unit grows wider and wider
until the entire measurement is extremely exciting to the woman!

"Wow!" she exclaims, as they fell into bed and made very
mad, passionate love.

The next day the couples rejoin their normal partners and go on their
separate ways. As they walk along, Mike asks, "Well, was it any
good?"

"I hate to say it," says Maureen, "but it was pretty
wonderful! How about you?"

"It was horrible," he replies, "all I got was a
headache...she kept slapping my forehead and pulling my ears!"

"dont forget to roll up them here windows. them cows'll slober all up 'ern here car here you sheee...
and watch out for these here cow pies"

I hop a fence, loose my breath up a hill and slip into a forest of hawthorn. Its my forth cave and fifth expedition under ground. time to get DIRTY!!! I take my last leak and double check my headlamps. The hole was barred and chained, thank sir redneck for the key. I crawl head first from a white frozen forest into a dark, stale dampness. Down the rabbit hole we go.
first you walk down a section called the subway and then back into the beehive, a giant formation still growing with a diameter of about five feet standing ten feet tall. This hubba bubba belches water out the top and trickles down thousands of stairstep grooves. Absolutely beautiful. Then we took off crawlin through rubble and dirt for acouple miles. We were in this cave for about three hours and only saw less then a third. This mama was a GIANT.
This cave had huge columns, bacon ribbons, and stalactites. Some of the stalactites started growing up instead of dropping down and they made the craziest figures. I was able to collect a couple of crystallized soda straws that had once hung from the caves ceiling but fell and broke. One for you Pete!!
I hope to get my pictures up soon. My sister has my camera so i was using my 35mm which has a broken meter and a crappy digital, so we'll see how they come out...
