More posts on the way!

As my final semester of college winds to an end, time has become limited.  I look forward to getting through the final push of reports, tests and presentations and get back to contributing to this blog.

Last night a watched the documentary about a man who lived with the grizzlies.  Recently, I have heard a lot of talk about this man through my friends.  I decided it was time to watch it for myself.  I must say it was an incredible documentary.  A tragic story, but the way it was able to capture the incredible spirit of what a human can be, was mind blowing.  I urge all to view the movie.  Yes, I agree with most that his mission was flawed, but like many things in life, I think its important we take his passion and apply it to something in our own lives.



Unfortunately for me this is going to be my 15 page  paper and presentation due this week, but even something as uneventful as this, in a way I feel grizzly mans mission was accomplished.

Like so many people in this world, his passion was in the end his demise.  Whether its a sailor crossing the pacific, a climber on everest, archer stalking an alaskan brown bear, a freelance photographer documenting war zones, a backcountry skier skiing a dream line or an any other pursuit, in my eyes its all the same.  A passion the grizzly man had, living among bears, in his eyes was worth paying the ultimate price.

This is an incredible personality trait, which it seems very few have.  Finding a balance somewhere between the "grizzly man" and the rest of society seems to hold a lot of promise.

Check out this song-


Coyotes by Richard Thompson- 


One listen and I bet you'll buy it!



Next time your drinking a beer raise a glass and cheers the life of the grizzly man,

Yee haw
