not worth reading, but worth writing (make sense?)
Perfect – now that the “thank you” mission is accomplished, “THE SIGN” is explained and introductions are done I feel like this “blog” and I are in the same “stage of life”.
That stage I wish google had the answer to what is happening
next – to me, jenny, and this “blog”.
That stage I still don’t know what I am doing, but I am
still doing it lol
That stage I still feel like I have so much of nothing to
write about.
That lost stage of life that google doesn’t have the answers
so you keep writing hoping to find the answer somewhere, somehow, someday lol
ANYWAY – before I continue to talk about nothing, I’d like
to say that Jenny and I ACTUALLY did some brainstorming before writing this
post, trying to figure it out whether to continue with this or not, turns out this
weekend it was our “Volley ball Gala Awards” (yes, not only I belong to a
32members volley ball team, but also we have a Gala Awards ceremony)!
But wait – before I start talking about the Gala – what I
was trying to say is…. We were trying to figure it out whether to continue with
this or not, then the Gala happened…then I spent the whole day on Sunday (hangover
lol) thinking HOW SPECIAL AND UNIQUE our group of friends is (FOR REAL)! Then I remembered what Ben once said: “Write something worth
reading, or do something worth writing” – Maybe what I am writing is not worth
reading, but I do think that what we do is definitely WORTH WRITING (TO ME AT
LEAST lol).
ANYWAY, long story short what I am trying to say is that our group did NEEDED someone to document all the shit we do! (I think)

Yes – we might just have chosen a topic for this “blog” (for
now)…we are not very good at following to plan (everything in life is temporary
anyways)…so chances are we might start talking about burning man again or whatever, or stop "blogging" - we are lost anyways and you are crazy for
reading.
WAIT, what was I saying again? Right…
The Volley ball Gala Awards – comeback tomorrow if ACTUALLY want
to know about it.
This all may or may not make sense, if it does – GREAT!! If it doesn't… whatever they are all thoughts from a foam head anyways, you are all crazy for reading!

Introductions - Maria
What was I saying again? Right...
This is when I talk about MaRia - She left Brazil 8 years ago to lean english, then... she got lost, and never came back lol. NOW, she doesn't speak english or portuguese - hence why all the grammatical errors on this "blog". Maybe after this "blog" she will improve her writing skills (everything happens for a reason, right?) and learn english.
She works the "9 to 5" to support my self (Jenny) after 5. WE LOVE to travel, so most of her money goes to travel and to me (Jenny). Every time she travels she takes me with her (which I find it very nice of her lol).
Maria is a pisces, meaning all the stupid shit she does in life she will end up saying: "its because I'm a pisces" (or because of me- Jenny). According to the "Only astrology book you will ever need" pisces are good people, but if you wanna know more about pisces go read an astrology blog lol
The "lost" nickname she earned for the abvious reason, all her cellphones have a life spam of no more then 6 months! And everything else...lets just say she was not born to have expensive shit, she was born to experience shit lol (I guess)!
Somehow she is always in love - with someone or something, she will always find something to LOVE (like this "blog" for now). Her therapist even said: "Maria, to me it just seem that you love to love, nothing wrong with that". I guess she was right lol
Maria is very social, and also LOVES THURSDAYS (and wine). We both live life like there is no tomorrow and LOVE life like there is no tomorrow. We both believe that everything happens for a reason, and we still don't know whats the reason for this "blog". Yes we are the same person, except Maria lives life and Jenny lives inside Maria's imagination.
Maybe this "blog" is crazy, maybe its creative, maybe its last post, maybe not..who knows?!

Introductions - Jenny
Ok, so I underestimated Jenny's "writing" skills - turns out jennyyhehead.blogspot.ca is turning ONE WEEK OLD today!! (insert surprise audince sound..then insert claps and people cheering sound)!!
I don't know if this its "a thing" to celebrate, but considering this "blog" content is made of a foam head thoughts - everyday is a victory and every week is new journey hahahaha :)
Also, I must recognize now that even thought I didn't like the idea very much at first (don't know if it was a sign or if its just funny) but good thing we didn't write that email/letter/letters lol
Anyway...so its been a week...now what!? We did some brainstorming and I decided to tell my sister about this "blog" today, but before sharing with her I feel like maybe its time for some introductions (just so that she doesn't worry and thinks that I am getting schizophrenic, u know!?)
So we brainstorm for a bit and decided that I'm going to talk about Jenny and she is going to talk about me... (Bc we like to make people feel special and unique, rememeber!? Lol). I'm going first, because my sister already knows me and Jenny is the one she doesn't know....
What was I saying again!? Right...
This is when I start talking about Jenny:
She "happened" in Canada, around 6 years ago!? (I think). She is very nice (sometimes) and very social. She loves to make friends and best friends. She embarrass me in front of others and sometimes even coworkers. She disappear for a week and comes back on Thursdays. ACTUALLY, she LOVE THURSDAYS, therefore she is ALWAYS out on thursdays...which a lot of the times really ends up screwing me over on fridays (its been 6 years now, so the late thursdays don't bother me as much anymore). Anyways...Jenny doesn't work and never did, all she does is party, she lives life like there is no tomorrow (which a lot of the times really ends up screwing me over as well).
She thinks the name Maria is too foreign and started introducing her self as Jennifer, because she likes Jennifer Aniston. Also because she wanted to feel more "Canadian" (she changed the name, but can't get rid of the accent lol). Jennifer can speak english and portuguese, and english with portuguese (or portuguese with english) and sometimes she speaks her own language too (Ethan, did I answer your question? lol).
She has a terrible memory - great at meeting people, terrible at remembering them (Well, she is a foam head - I guess it all makes sense now lol).
This year I took her to burning man and she ACTUALLY got her own FOAM HEAD (THANK YOU CASEY HOWELL!) - and she had her own FOAM HEAD FRIENDS (might sound CRAZY, but its ACTUALLY true lol).
Also, Jenny only shows up when I am drunk!
People might think I'm crazy, but JENNY IS CRAZY!
This all may or may not make sense, if it does – GREAT!! If it doesn't… whatever they are all thoughts from a foam head anyways, you are all crazy for reading!

And if you ARE ACTUALLY reading this "blog" and you don't see a post tomorrow...don't forget tomorrow is THURSDAY!
And just in case we don't ever "post" here again (because my sister disapproves it lol)...here is pic of us with my other sister Hailey and her girl Kitty!

Maria is off - Jenny on command
Hi,This is Jenny - Maria worked some overtime yesterday (one day = 2 posts) so I gave her the day off. As you all know from previous post I can't spell therefore I shouldn't be writing... So I have a video of Maria to present - hope you like it, and if you don't, I don't care I am not in the video anyways!
 |
| don't click the picture hahahaha - click the link bellow |
This "blog" was suppose to be a post burning man thank you email, remember?
So the video might make no sense, but it ACTUALLY make sense with this "blog" - you get what Im saying?
If yes great, if not, whatever I'm just the foam head and you are CRAZY to be back!
THE SIGN
Yes, it would've been nice and special and unique if we ended this "blog" with our last post. But the "plan" was to write a group email anyways, then a group letter, then multiple letters, then one post, then 2, bla bla bla... we haven't been following to plan since the beginning of all this shit anyways so why should we now? (it also wouldn't be nice to our ONE FOLLOWER, to stop now! - love u HAILS)Anyway....so the "THANK YOU" mission have been accomplished - now is when we get to talk/write for the sake for talking/writing (you know what I mean Justin?) - he knows I love to talk for the sake of talking, when there is nothing to talk and nobody to hear (but you lol)!
This is when you can ACTUALLY stop reading this "blog", for 2 reasons:
- Because we are done with our "thank you note" - so thank you for reading!
- Because things may ACTUALLY start making NO SENSE! (thats if anything made any sense before for you of course) if they didn't make sense and you are still reading - YOU ARE CRAZY!
Anyway, what was I saying again? Right... NOTHING, yet!
But what I was going to say is... this thing (story) about THE SIGN. Well, let me tell you... I was always a STRONG believer that everything happens for a reason and when shit goes down I like to believe that its a sign something good is coming or whatever (except when you are running and you need to take a poop - its never a good sign when there is no washroom around).
Also, on top of that I'm a strong believer of the signs as in - astrology/horoscope/zodiac all that shit! But if I start talking about astrology this might become an astrology blog and I know nothing about astrology lol Well, I did buy "The only astrology book you will ever need"...and I still haven't finished (I also never finished reading a book - i know, i am NOT AT ALL proud to say that, but what can I say...I'm a foam head) haahahaha.
Wait,what was I saying again? Right...
So I wanted to make a sign for our camp, like a REALLY NICE ONE!! But I totally overestimate my skills to do such thing lol -I had a great Idea (I think) but then...lets just say that "youtube DIY videos" are a lot easier on youtube then done!
So I postponed the camp sign for next year...
And then Jenny and I did some brainstorming and decide to make the sign anyways, except now the idea was to make something (something like an arrow), or a"sign" that we could bring out with us and find each other easier in the playa (at Distrikt and or Robot Heart) or leave the sign at camp to find our camp easier, or whatever, and then...lest just say I overestimated my skills of drawing an arrow (a BIG ONE), its actually really hard to make a big arrow, or maybe its because I'm a foam head!
Then galaxy pants (stokie) got mad at at me, for asking for his help too much (help with the camp sign, help with the arrow, help with anything to do with sign lol)...then I just started carving, no brainstorming, no idea, no plans, no destination lol - then a cloud(ish) come out of it. Done!
Now... what to write on it? to write or not to write? bla bla bla...3 hours go by (just kidding)
Remember how I mention before how: "often times I think he (galaxy pants) hates me" - that was one of them!
So he says: why don't you just write "Its' a sign" - I loved the idea (too much), but I wanted to write something that was my idea (goddammit - so many ideas to settle with one that was not mine, did I even ask for his idea? lol). Anyway...Fast forward - We get to burning man (the sign and I) and all I had to do was glue the letters into the sign...
What I am going to say now might be funny, or maybe its a sign BUUUUT...THE ONLY ERROR I could've possibly make - I did (and I am NOT AT ALL PROUD of that) - I spell it wrong. Only a foam head would've make such bizarre mistake like that! Also - the first person to notice it was spell it wrong was OBVIOUSLY galaxy pants!
Maybe it was a sign (that I shouldn't write anymore or that I should write?) ahahahha
Or maybe was the sign I needed to make the sign more "mine" - (wait, did that make sense?)
Anyway, there is more to it - but it will be hard to follow Jenny if she continues, so...Whatever, so many signs, too many signs - you crazy if you are still reading lol but here is a picture of the sign in case you wanna see:
- loosing the sign also made it a little bit more "mine"
Also, on top of that I'm a strong believer of the signs as in - astrology/horoscope/zodiac all that shit! But if I start talking about astrology this might become an astrology blog and I know nothing about astrology lol Well, I did buy "The only astrology book you will ever need"...and I still haven't finished (I also never finished reading a book - i know, i am NOT AT ALL proud to say that, but what can I say...I'm a foam head) haahahaha.

 |
| THE SIGN only made to ONE sunset at Distrikt |
 |
| and ONE sunrise at Robot Heart |
- loosing the sign also made it a little bit more "mine"
like I said...This all may or may not make sense, if it does – GREAT!! If it doesn't… whatever they are all thoughts from a foam head anyways, you are all crazy for reading!
Being inclusive (AGAIN)
Yes, it would've been nice and special if we ended this “blog” with our previous post. But it wouldn't have been very nice and special (and inclusive and burner) if I didn't talk about the other people that were part of my camp!So after brainstorming, A LOT of brainstorming actually (because its not that easy to talk about people you didn't experience much with, you know what I mean?) we decided to come up with this post.
Before I begin/end I'd like to say that ALL these people were the GREATEST addition a camp could ever ask for, either as "worker contributors" (putting our camp up) or as fun people to be around - SO THANK YOU FOR THAT!
Bearcat and Natalie - you guys are a gem, I have to say I didn't believe you guys were going until I actually saw you guys in Reno. Barry, did you end up waking up for the sunrise that day? Because I didn't... In the best way possible - people were legit talking about how awesome you guys were and I was really looking forward to spend more time with you guys, but like Manders - I think we were burning on different schedules! I really hope you guys are back next year and I'll get to spend at least half a day with you both!! :)
Eddie - the last camp addition, I was SO HAPPY when I found out you were coming, sadly I think the only time we spent together was the 8 hours driving in to burning man! maybe it was for the better of the 2 of us, maybe it was a sign, whoe knows! ahahahaha
Neville - I can't find ways to THANK YOU for taking that sign up top robot heart ahahahaha. I feel like maybe you were with Jimmy a lot and I remember always running into you guys at camp - greatest people to hang after a long day/night biking! you were such a great addition, I hope you are back next year (and hopefully I'll be back too lol)!

Jessie - can't talk much other then saying you were a great "shower buddy" Jessie, and thank you for walking me to the washroom during dust storm, you know what they say: "playa provides" - If I got lost after leaving the washroom with you taking me there, imagine what would've happen if you were not there!!?? I don't know whats your zodiac - but I feel good things about it ahhahaha.
Linda - I thought I was just getting a ticket, but you and amanda were FOR SURE THE BEST "random" addition of our camp! So helpful, happy, caring and the list goes on....
