Fishing Trips...

General
Know that I don't always know what I'm going to say. Games, Entertainment, Self, Weather, Politics, Events, History, Philosophy, all are fair game and any are free without the waring eyes of family or work.
So. Given the need to keep spending in check, and that my parents invited me at no expense, I went to Canada for a 4 day fishing trip. I just got home today. I wish I could have gone to AC, ya know the SAME weekend in the opposite direction with a lot more fun in a land that actually believes in WIFI and Cell Signal? Next year I think it's going to be a priority, or at least insert some random excuse not to go fishing.
It's not that I don't like fishing, I love the outdoors! I used to cherish going hunting and fishing as a kid, but I grew older and when your a furry (which they don't know nor could comprehend) nerd and geek, your life revolves around the modern age of technology not traveling to the middle of nowhere to sleep without any separate rooms with people who's snoring could be heard across the lake! My father for example doesn't watch ANY movies or TV *sports and news don't count*, has no sense of fantasy imagination what so ever. So now shove yourself in a boat for 6-8 hours of the day with said person with nothing to talk about. Less of course he's barking directions when you know what your doing... I think I like snoring better.
The lodge is okay, and that's being loose. Having been going to the same place for 5 years (i skipped the past few, this was a mercy visit) their management skills are that of a 3rd grader. They mix up reservations, everything's going to hell despite always being packed, and you have to speak so slowly and use so simple words (which trust me, I already do that... this is just scary bad) you feel like pushing them out of the way and getting what you want yourself would be more efficient. Hell, we seen on the back porch of the cabins a full set of tools just sitting around, one being a $300 drill. It was there the entire vacation not moving an inch, and it rained hard-core a few days. Are they that lazy, careless? Do they not care if something is wrecked or stolen? Do nobody talk to each other as I'm sure the cleaning people had to of seen it.
And lastly, Dear Canada... u okay, for most part. But learn some PERSONAL SPACE. Had to get fishing licenses at a gas station and my mom and I were in line, while my dad was maybe 20 steps behind us. Some jerk decides to walk right up behind us acting like hes in a rush to get his license, all huffy and mad I guess because we got in line while he was twiddling some magazines. My mom forgot something and walked to the car, he moves within 2 inches of me and despite all my motions won't back off. Literately I moved a tiny bit forward so would he, despite the guy not in front of me not moving an inch. My dad walks in and I start talking loudly to acknowledge him with me, and had to actually pull my father ahead of the guy for him to get the message. My Mom walks back in about the same time, and he wouldn't even give her space in line back. My only satisfaction was that my father was paying for all the licenses together and it forced the guy to move when we got to the register.
All in all, I so hope I can find some income and afford travels next year. Or maybe I'll ninja the 3-4 days without them and just enjoy my peace and quiet.
