Let’s Go Camping in Africa!!!

Hello Ladies & Gentleman of these here internets,

Inhale……. Ahhh the sweet smell of lilacs in the morning, the sound of the guard dogs whining to get fed some fat from the night before and the sight of sales in one’s paypal account. Where was I? Oh yeah, a fresh fruit smoothie prepared on the spot for you is also quite nice, I’m feeling ridiculously healthy and full of energy. Exhale…. I feel ready to stroll through the plains of the Serengeti with full tuxedo and top hat, hand feeding lions entire zebra legs while making long distance calls to Princesses from Poland.

I digress.

We’re going camping. My friend married a wonderful woman who has prepared an absolute feast. Yours truly has to be brief as I have some chicken kabob’s to prepare before our journey. We’re going to Lake Manyara or Tarangire for a great night in the bush. Both are world renown National Parks outside Arusha, Tanzania. Takes about 2 hours or so and I’ve just been notified the chicken sandwiches are ready for the ride up. I’m excited to go camping, yes will be bringing my 18X zoom camera, indeed.

They asked if I wanted a tent, I quickly quipped I’ll sleep in the truck thanks. For some reason if camping is less than 72 hours, I always opt to sleep in my car, can’t be bothered with the whole tent thing. Camping in the 1800’s for noble gentlemen must have been pleasant with all those porters etc… I’d be able to trek all day then have a porter bring me a jewel encrusted case with my dinner attire, indeed.

I digress once more, it would appear.

Anyways I’m feeling fantastic and looking forward to seeing some wildlife up close and personal. Hopefully not too close and not too personal unless it’s something harmless. Also on second thought the truck will be a great barrier to a potentially hungry lion, ha.

My “talented hands” are required in the kitchen, must leave. Hey remember that Simpsons when Homer orders the blow fish and the head sushi chef is in the parking lot yelling at the sous chef “my talented hands are busy”. That’s some funny stuff right there, indeed.

Tips hat,

P.S: If I do not return and this is my last update ever… Please remember that I died with honor, jabbing the lion in the eyes with my finely polished silverware and fighting for that steak until my last breath while ensuring to keep my tuxedo tidy.

P.P.S: Those “Daily Photo Stories” I created while totally uninspired in Chiang Mai are almost done. Also, my 500GB hard drive was dropped a few times and now is corrupted. Unless the “talented hands” of the fine people at Western Digital can fix it, they’re gone. For some reason I couldn’t care less, photos are for other people, memories are what matter and the best ones are never caught on film.
