The General Cube

Submitted by Tswizz on June 1st, 2010

I learned a big lesson this weekend. Well 2 lessons:

1. My name is not Bo or Luke

2. My Cube is not a stunt car or the General Lee

We were driving up to Brooklin (ontario) with really really bad directions from mapquest. We ended up on a 2 lane back country road. It was beautiful as heck... but definetly not where we were supposed to be!

Anyhoo. There was this one stretch that was quite hilly so I decided to speed up a little over the hills so we could get that funny roller coaster feeling in our bellies... you know the feeling? I kept commenting on how fun it would be to launch the car like in Dukes Of Hazzard.

We went over a few and we were fine. There was a mini van in front of us an i noticed that it bounced a little at the bottom of one hill so i knew to expect a little something. Well, what i got was the biggest/loudest crash/bump ever!

The first thing i thought was that i blew a tire cause the steering column was shaking a bit. Pulled over, got out... tires were fine, rims were fine... the body as far as i could tell was fine.

You know... there really isnt anything quite as energizing/relaxing... as rolling down the windows... blasting some tunes and just driving. I swear to you that if it's nice and warm and sunny out... i actually dont mind traffic!

I thought I would share my new fave song right now. Nuthin' On You by B.o.B

There's something about this song that just gets me... I love how chilled and happy the beat is... its awesome.

 

In other news... I finished yet another project!!! check her out... my new super bright tank top thingie:

It's been 62 days of me being on the mend. But, i'm back now... and in some ways... better than ever.

I've been ... wait for it... KNITTING a lot. surprise surprise! lol i've started a new blog for just my knitting stuff and a new twitter account for it. You can check both out here:

http://knittyornice.com and http://twitter.com/knittyornice

It's been pretty awesome having something to distract myself from all the stresses of life... and i get some pretty awesome stuff out it!!!! My dream... is to open up my own yarn/knitting cafe. How awesome would that be!?

So... yes, i've been gone for a bit, but i'm back now. And yes, i have been knitting... what i really want to talk to everyone about though is a project that i have been very fortunate to be a part of.

It's been a while. I know. I blame it all on my new addiction, well, my "I forgot how much I loved this" obsession... knitting! ha. I pretty well went into knitting overdrive over the holidays. Let's put it this way, i knit, 7 scarves, 1 touque, Dishclothes, a blanket, a vest and i'm almost done my purple hoodie! yep, i'm nuts. i know.

i will post pics of the hoodie as soon as i finish it. The vest too :) that just needs to be sewn together.

For me, because about... 80% of my life is online and has to do with "techy/coding/social media" stuff, coming home and being able to do something which most consider an "old fashioned" hobby makes me feel awesome. It reminds me to slow the hell down and relax. I love it. My dream now is to one day open up a Knitting Store/Cafe. Who knew! lol

Along with knitting, i think i'm going to try and tackle Amigurumi. That's a crocheting style which allows you to pretty much crochet ANY shape. The result of this, well, take a look at these beyond adorable toys:
