Canada 

North American country located in the northern part of the continent. Canada is the world's second-largest country by total area, and its common border with the United States is the world's longest land border.

*Who says size doesn't matter?*

Some fun facts:
 
1. The Narcisse Snake Dens in Manitoba have more snakes in a concentrated area than anywhere else in the world. Tens of thousands of red-sided garter snakes gather there every year. On the other hand, there are no snakes on the island of Newfoundland.

 *Shudder, shudder*

 
 2. If you visit Dawson City, Yukon, you can join the “Sourtoe Cocktail Club” — all you have to do is finish a drink (of anything!) with a real human toe in the bottom. The club’s motto says, “You can drink it fast, you can drink it slow — but the lips have gotta touch the toe.”

 

 *Okay, I actually really like Canada, we used to visit each year, but the toe, the toe has got to go...*

3. Canada has its own mysterious lake creature, Ogopogo, who reportedly lives in Lake Okanagan, British Columbia. 

*A great creature for any book!*

The number one reason to get your inspiration from Canada...

Snow! 

Glorious snow!!

The Phoenix Project

M. R. Pritchard

The United States is crumbling under the weight of the worst recession in decades, and The Reformation has been causing a stir. It started with promises of overthrowing the election, under the premise of change. But change starts where we least expect it, in Phoenix, a small lakefront town, hidden in the backwoods of Upstate NY.

Andie's life is about to change forever. She thought making it home was the hard part, but much worse is to come. She needs to find her family, she needs to find out what's happening to her town, and she needs to find someone she can trust.

Chuck Norris vs Zombies

Zombie Friday

Welcome back!

Yes, I know, you're like: 

"WTF, I waited all week last week for Zombie Friday and nothing was posted!"

Sorry dudes.

I was busy.

Making my Zombie Survival Kit!

I bought knives and axes and water and canned food and nails and boards and a backpack and...

Well, let's get on with it.

Theme of the week:

 

Chuck F-ing Norris 

vs. 

The Zombie Apocalypse

Hell Yes!

(No, I'm not giving up on Daryl)

But seriously, I'm thinking Chuck will be one of the best additions to anyone's Zombie Apocalypse team!

 

Some excellent reasons why you should consider Chucky-boy for your team:

• Chuck Norris can slam a revolving door. 
• Chuck Norris has a grizzly bear carpet in his room. The bear isn't dead it is just afriad to move.  
• Chuck Norris can light a fire by rubbing two ice-cubes together.
• Chuck Norris can kill two stones with one bird 
• Chuck Norris threw a grenade and killed 50 people, then it exploded.
• Chuck can set ants on fire with a magnifying glass. At night. 

• Chuck Norris once climbed Mt. Everest in 15 minutes, 14 of which he was building a snowman at the bottom. 

And the number one reason for choosing Chuck

(yeah, right there)

• The only man with balls large enough to wear a sleeveless-Canadian Tuxedo.

This writer's confession

I have a secret.

One that I'm sure most have figured out by now

I am a little bit of a geek...

I'm pretty sure, if there were a geek gene, I've got it.

This has resulted in an unhealthy collection of books and movies and social awkwardness...

But I'm fine with that

The only downside I've found is when 

I get invited out for trivia night with the sole purpose of helping my coworkers win...

Looking for Inspiration? Try New Zealand

Why do so many amazing things happen in New Zealand?

New Zealand: an island country in the southwestern Pacific Ocean. The country geographically comprises two main landmasses ‒ that of the North and South Islands ‒ and numerous smaller islands. Because of its remoteness, it was one of the last lands to be settled by humans. 

  Lack of humans = perfect!

(Humans are dirty creatures)

 

They have airplanes promoting The Hobbit.

The native bird is the Kiwi... 

The flipping KIWI!!

In 1893 it became legal for all male and female citizens to vote!

And I think I even heard that the sun and the moon both rise and set on the shores of New Zealand...

Just watch!
