Cause I'm a Lumberjack and I'm OK

So me & my GF spent the day up at our friend's cottage helping him chop down all the fallen trees so that we could use the trails. We had a pretty nice winter this year and there were shitloads of fallen trees everywhere, so we got a good workout chopping & sawing them apart. I'm now convinced that I was a lumberjack in a past life, I was one with the axe and I was taking nice chunks out of the trees with each chop. Or maybe it's all the lumberjack competitions I watched on TV which helped me out. My GF's damn good with an axe too, I think she was a contract axe-murderer in her youth or something. I think she's going to chop my head of in my sleep one day after I use the word "threesome" one too many times.

So what have I learned today? Chopping wood is fun, and it's a good skill to have since saws can bind pretty badly when you're trying to cut a fallen tree that's caught up in other trees. I don't think I've found anything that makes me feel more manly than chopping trees with an axe, that's probably why it's so much fun, or maybe it's just fun because I like breaking things. Swinging an axe is also hard work, my entire upper body is sore, but it's a good hurt and I haven't felt this manly in ages, it's as if my genitals grew a few sizes.

So yeah, today was a fun day, we cleared off the trails and then we went biking on them in the late afternoon, which was followed by a barbeque. I just wish I had a video of my GF hitting a tree while biking, flipping over the handlebars and somehow landing on her feet only to trip over herself and fall on her ass. That was funny.

Anyways, sorry if this is less coherant than normal, I blame it on the excess testosterone in my body right now.

Did you actually sing the song while you were a-choppin' the wood? :D

Sure does! Sawing down trees is fun enough, but chopping them is just so much more satisfactory.

I thought about it, but then I realized that the world is better off without hearing my awful singing. My buddy or my GF would've chopped me with an axe if they heard me butcher that song.

It was a little too cold today to be doing that, if it was about 5-10 degrees warmer we might've done it. Of course we'd also have to ditch our buddy or find him a chick or something...

generally, cutting apart things that aren't attatched to you with sharp objects is fun. Unless it's busywork.

What, didn't think of your favourite word 'threesome' then? Whyever not? :P

2 guys and one chick isn't what I'd call a threesome. By my definition a threesome is 2 chicks and one guy. Of course there are people who believe the former is a threesome, but I'm not one of them.

This is a sign that in a few years, you'll be needing the blue pill and I am not talking about the Matrix.

Hmmm...let me think, maybe because I would've killed him and chopped his body to pieces with my axe? Well, I wouldn't go that far but I'd probably whop him over the head with the axe handle. Besides, I'm not into threesomes, especially if there's a guy in them, and definitely NOT with 2 guys, no thanks. My BF tells me that 3-somes are the way but I think he's been watching too much porn.

And yes I've chopped wood before, it's part of being an outdoors hiking/camping instructor, quite fun to do unless your life depends on it. As for the tree incident, yeah, you try keeping your footing on soft sand with tree roots under it! It was either fall or break my ankle, I think I'll take the fall onto sand.

You could have done it indoors...
