I made this video for my friends at the ORG. ( http://www.zefrank.org ) This is my attempt at a cinnamon shooter: ( http://www.vimeo.com/292436 ) You can try it yourself at home, but I doubt that you will like it.
A cinnamon shooter:
1. Get some plain cinnamon, it's a spice.
2. Find a tablespoon, or a spoon that is the same size.
3. Fill the tablespoon with cinnamon.
4. Put the tablespoon of cinnamon in your mouth.
5. Swallow
Sounds easy right...
It's not, trust me. But if you want to experience it for yourself, go for it!

Flora Lake Hike
On Saturday I went for one last hike in the mountains before I head east to the "hills" of Edmonton. Gerry, Jason and I headed up to Chilliwack Lake Provincial Park to hike up to Flora lake which is in the same area as Lindamen and Greedndrop lakes that I hiked to previously.
I have to admit that I really enjoyed this hike. compared to the Lindamen/Greendrop (Post Creek) route, the trail to Flora lake travels through open forest. It allows for stunning views of Chilliwack lake and all the campsites to the south. The view would have been even more stunning if the clouds were not there, But I love clouds so I can't complain. The trail first goes to a peak before descending towards the lake. Above the tree line we reached so pretty nice meadowland near a peak. The descent down to the lake is steep and windy as the scenery changes from meadowland to thick forest. In the thicker forest areas we saw many different types of mushrooms and fungi, I took pictures of some but definitely not all. then we reached Flora lake. In my opinion, there really wasn't anything too spectacular about the destination. The journey was more spectacular.
After reaching the lake we took a trail that leads back to the Post Creek train that runs between Lindaman and Greendrop lakes. This part of the trail was really annoying because it involves crossing several large rock slide areas. not good on the feet, not good. Back on the Post creek trail we could see that some improvements were recently made to the campgrounds and trails. New tent platforms, signs and stairs were installed along the path. After 8 hours of hiking, I was glad to give my feet a rest!
Here are a few pictures, but if you want to see more visit: http://www.flickr.com/photos/ktims82/

Happy Birthday Mom!
I just wanted to say Happy Birthday to my Mom.
I made a short video which can be viewed on my Vimeo site: http://www.vimeo.com/285101
I see that blogger now supports video uploading but this one is slightly too big, so Vimeo it is! Also, I only thought of making it yesterday and I don't really know much about compiling video and audio, but It's a start. One thing I love about my mom is it doesn't really matter what I get her for her birthday because I know she will love it anyway. Enjoy!

Who am I?
Last night I watched the movie "Dazed and Confused" after seeing that it was part of the Criterion Collection. Criterion lends their name to some great films such as "Brazil" and "seven Samurai" so I figured it would be a quality film. "Dazed and Confused is a story about different groups of teenagers on the night of the last day of school. In this film, two freshmens, a guy and a girl, are introduced into the High School world which they will be entering into in the fall. And that world seems to be full of parties with drugs alcohol.
This film made me think about the kind of person I am and who I want to be. There are time when I really want to be someone who fits into crowds like that. Someone who drinks and drinks and drinks, maybe a little drugs... enough to get wasted and have some fun.
I've been to parties before, rarely, and I am usually sober and clean when I go. It's not very fun being sober and clean at parties. I don't fit in, its hard to understand what people are doing, I get too concerned about people who are completely smash and need to get some sleep... I wonder if it would be any different if I were drunk at those parties. I think I would need to BE someone else in order to go to parties like that and enjoy myself.
I don't do drugs because I know it's bad for me and I don't drink much at all because it costs too much and I don't go to parties because I wasn't invited. Instead I stay home and sit at my computer, surfing the web, playing video games, or watching movies... all week long and all alone. It's like I am inside my own little prison cell and none of my peers gives a damn enough to visit me. Especially during the week, I never do anything fun during the weekI don't go bowling, don't go out for dinner, no concerts, no dancing (I don't mind that though, I have two left feet.) no playing in the park, or even hanging out...
I know that my parents do love me and care for me and they do ask me out to dinner often. But I am 25 dammit! I ought to doing be dinner with people my own age. I'm grateful for what they do for me but it makes me feel too dependant on my parents if I went out to dinner with them every time they offered (about 3 times a week).
Anyways, whatever fuelled this rant is spent and I need to go to work... my last day of work for this summer, woohoo.
