This is my blog. I speak for no one but myself here. The words I write, the images I post, and the articles I link to interest no one but me. I stand by what I put here, however, it is not a reflection of time, effort, or particular care. I just want a clearinghouse of what does interest me and a space to spout out poorly written and thoughtout rants. Consider this a disclaimer.

Thanks in advance.
If everything is the worst, is anything good? I ask because some folks are so relentlessly negative, and in dire need of a thesaurus, that it makes you wonder if they are capable of joy.

#ChasingNiagara is about a man's journey to go over Niagara Falls in a kayak.
— Edward “Ned” Abbott (@ewabbott) February 8, 2019
Wild, right? @rafaortizkayak is a compelling subject for a documentary and the journey is beautiful. Lots of great locations, fun shots, and humans pushing themselves to do the amazing.
Seeing that I signed up for the @RocktheRidge50, I have been watching more of the various Red Bull TV stories, looking for inspiration, or just to enjoy the scenery.
— Edward “Ned” Abbott (@ewabbott) February 8, 2019
Last night, I came upon #ChasingNiagara.
#MadeToBeBroken about running the AT is one of the better distance running documentaries I have ever seen. Even if you are not into running, hiking, the AT, or human beings pushing themselves to be better, it is still a great story.https://t.co/kZZodDZgqV
— Edward “Ned” Abbott (@ewabbott) February 8, 2019
I really enjoy the @redbull TV specials and movies, especially the ones about extreme sports. They are well done, with enough cliche & commonplace for them to have a rhythm while being identifiable as part of a narrative type that we have been telling for thousands of years.

If you do donate, I promise not to talk with you about my training and will only talk about the event if asked.

Also, if you donate more than $25, I will buy you a beer at @RareFormBrewCo or coffee at the coffee shop of your choice. pic.twitter.com/FzOFuBNhaX

And yes, it is interesting. It is a great course. There is more than ample time, and I thought again...
