Title: Hunting Girl
Artist: Jethro Tull
Album: Songs from the Wood
One day I walked the road and crossed a field
To go by where the hounds ran hard.
And on the master raced: behind the hunters chased
To where the path was barred.
One fine young ladys horse refused the fence to clear.
I unlocked the gate but she did wait until the pack had disappeared.
Crop handle carved in bone;
Sat high upon a throne of finest english leather.
The queen of all the pack,
This joker raised his hat and talked about the weather.
All should be warned about this high born hunting girl.
She took this simple mans downfall in hand;
I raised the flag that she unfurled.
Boot leather flashing and spurnecks the size of my thumb.
This highborn hunter had tastes as strange as they come.
Unbridled passion: I took the bit in my teeth.
Her standing over — me on my knees underneath.
My lady, be discrete.
I must get to my feet and go back to the farm.
Whilst I appreciate you are no deviate,
I might come to some harm.
Im not inclined to acts refined, if thats how it goes.
Oh, high born hunting girl,
Im just a normal low born so and so.

Hiking to the Into The Wild Bus; Arriving At The Bus!
Posted By: genglish // Category: Hiking
Roughly 28 miles in and we’re finally at the bus. We’ve crossed two deep and fast moving rivers, 20+ streams, hiked 13 miles up and down mountains and hills and have a 13 mile hike back to camp to look forward to, all in 24 hours. Needless to say, we’re exhausted.
We didn’t make this trek because we idolize Chris McCandless or what he did. We don’t condone his decisions or his actions, nor do we fully understand them. Chris did lead an extraordinary life and had the courage to follow his dreams, even if they led him to his own demise.
I can’t speak for Sean, though I know we have a similar outlook on Chris’ story but as for me, I came to see the land and having a destination that was the core of a well told story made it that much more worthwhile.
Follow your dreams but not that the expense of common sense.
It’s late, I’ll likely revise this and post a link to a blog about our trip.
Constructive comments and criticisms only please. Please be respectful of other commenters, we’re each entitled to our own opinions and interpretations.

Award winning unofficial prequel to The Lord of the Rings dramatising Aragorn & Gandalf’s long search for Gollum. This 40 minute film, made by fans for fans is based on the appendices of LOTR and was painstakingly shot on a low budget as a homage to Peter Jackson’s trilogy and the writing of J.R.R. Tolkien.
Costing less than $5,000 to make, with a team of volunteers, Independent Online Cinema are proud to have brought Middle-earth to the screen once more. We hope you enjoy The Hunt For Gollum as much as we enjoyed making it.
This Youtube version is slightly extended with 1 scene added back in.

This is a song from the Jacksonville Florida based southern rock band, Lynyrd Skynyrd. Possibly one of the greatest bands ever. This song is a very underrated song off their 3rd studio album “Nuthin’ Fancy”.
