into the wild wolds of the world.

shoveling.
not just sh!t against the tide,
or against the wind,
but shoveling snow against the raging stormswept
torrents of windy, wild, white mountainous woodsly goodness.
me and my wife got busy this morning.
whaaaaaaat?
take it easy-
we got busy pushing tracts of frozen crystal water
into bigger piles of icy spiciness.
it's working, too.
there're heaps of snow,
with drifts at a minimum,
and sparkle-magical frosty bits making
kaleidoscopic rainbow filigree off of the nighttime lights.
so pretty.
i've said it before:
shovels make great equalizers.
strong dummies get more props than nerds when it's
straight-up shovel time.
it's why i shovel as hard as i do.
i may be a nerd,
or a dork,
or a humongous geek,
or a combination of all three;
but give me a shovel and i'll hold my own.
hardcore dishwashers will understand the beauty of that statement.
different blue collar work,
same brutal sweat-equity mentality...
do what you doo-doo as loud and hard as you can.
word up.
all this snow,
and cold,
and untouched swaths of natural wild sh!t-
i feel like i should be sledding.
just sayin',
there's a big ol' treeless clearcut sorespot
in my backyard,
and it's sloping along a good hundred feet of fresh powder.
wow.
i think i may have found the path to awesomeness just now.
and it's probably traversible solely by toboggan.

do you guys want to know something?
you do?
oh, okay, then:
i'm pretty obsessive.
hahaha.
i know, not exactly headline news.
but,
lately, i've been obsessing over tactical armor and gear.
seriously.
and there are hundreds of pages of information,
on dozens of websites,
that i can't help but peruse, analyze, and perseverate
over which padded patch of straps and sacks
are gonna rock my socks all the way off.
i've got a separate broswer window open right now, even.
multicam.
that's the sh!t.
molle webbing.
also the sh!t.
in fact,
i've got a waist deep pile of sh!t sitting in my attic, so to speak.
i've got this big business on my MIND, duders.
and until the suppressor compatible superblaster is built,
i'll keep this noise going;
never quiet, never soft.....
