THINGS I CAN DO
2/6/2011
I've never been stranded in the wilderness but I know I'd survive.
While cooking up a masterpiece I like listening to music. Earlier I was making 7-layer dip for our Superbowl potluck and noticed how cool the drums are in the song "Cath" by Death Cab For Cutie. I'll keep that song in mind for when I get a set of drums. The Superbowl was fun and the food was all good. later after the party someone put on "Ocean Breathless Salty" by Modest Mouse (which also has pretty baller drums in it).
This leads me to my main train of thought. I don't want to sound cocky, but I'm a natural at some things and I know it. I grew up in suburban areas in Cincinnati and Colorado Springs, play guitar and baseball and football. Regardless, I have a running list of things I'm sure I can do. Originally I hadn't tried any of these things but always knew I could do them. Things I know I can do:
-Survive in the wilderness long enough to make it to civilization or be found by rescue teams. (excluding deserts and the tundra)
-play goalie for a hockey team
-play the drums
The first item I got to try out was drums. My friends Mitch and Zach Bever got a set for Christmas so it was time to prove myself. I've tried the drums about 3 times now and realize that I definitely need practice but with just a little I'm sure I'll have drums mastered.
Second, my intramural hockey team needed a goalie so obviously I volunteered. Needless to say I did awesomely; I blocked about 5 shots, let in 2 and we won the game. A week later I volunteered again and let in about 12 and blocked maybe 2. Again- little practice and I'll be good.
I've never been stranded in the wilderness but I know I could do it.
