Prepping my skin so it’s camera ready. 🧖🏾 Please continue to stay hydrated, wash and moisturize your face daily. Don’t wait until you get a pimple to finally take action. I’m using @letsdisco eucalyptus face mask. I love that my skin didn’t dry up after washing the mask off. Leaving my skin glowing afterwards and ready for the next day! 💫 #Letsdisco #mensgrooming #cleanbeauty ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #facemask #eucalyptus #cleanbeautyproducts #bbloggers #blackbloggers #skincare (at Los Angeles, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CEFazY7pMqW/?igshid=nn1krtwaheg7

RYAN’S & BRENDON’S LJ POSTS IN EARLY 2005

I condensed the format of the livejournal posts to save space btw... and these are being taken from the masterpost that Letsdisco generated in summer 2006 using ljseek after Ryan deleted his livejournal and Brendon made his friends-only. That masterpost is still being passed around today, so that’s why the lists of their posts usually have similar formatting and are all missing the same exact entries. I think I only saved a few of Brendon’s fall 2005 posts that happened to be deleted before summer 2006, so I’m missing some of his other posts as well as some pictures. But at least we have something...

RYAN

January 23: your mouth is like a magazine. sup. i’m thinking we move the band to l.a. because for some reason or another we end up down there every weekend. anyways..nothing big going on. trying to write songs at breakneck speed.and “this mission just got a hell of a lot more impossibler”. song #1 for the record:done. well,maybe. the academy is…coming here feb 12. looking forward to meeting those dudes.you will all love their record. i got some good new games for gameboy advance which should be good for the road....pete put a shitty picture of us up on the clandestine site. go make fun of it. brendon is wearing a bra

January 30: ok. i haven’t had any sort of schedule in my life for the past 2 to 3 months so im trying to act like a normal person now. 1. wake up before noon 2. write every single day 3. listen to a new band every day the list will grow but thats for starters.

February 4: maybe its my love of dispondent things but the woodsman is a good movie, see that. i’ve been thinking alot on what i want this record to be about. and i have some things i’d like to say i just hope it comes out right. parts will be about some of you too like it or not. i am going to start wearing my seatbelt more often. i have seen some pretty bad car wrecks happen in my head. give me envy give me malice give me closure. if i talk alot of shit on this record i hope i can back it up.

February 10: portugal the man, is really, really good. i think.

February 23: today is the worst day of the rest of your life. blink. i will miss you dearly. this is band alone is the reason i play music now. tom delonge will always be my biggest influence and best hero. i’ve got to much hurt going on with everything .boy, things do like to build up and fall apart all at the same time for me.

February 24: i’ve been trying to find a new heart on ebay. i think they quit making those though.

March 10: “Proposing college courses on the pigments of his eye color which had prevailingly changed in the matter of your position toward the sun.” wish that were about me. you out write me any day of the week.

March 15: panic at the disco are such sellouts sooooo, its official. we signed to decaydance/fueled by ramen! we’ve got alot of work to do for this record. i’ll be pretty much hibernating and only coming out when something super important comes up that i think you all should hear about. wishusluck

April 4: snap your fingers. tap your heel to the concrete. in this little number we party like its 1888. i hope you like to dance to different beats. you’ll love this record. or hate it.

April 15: i traded in you bedsheets for shoddy transmission dreams in the back of a van. this is where i am supposed to write how i feel. “she sure as hell aint you,but lord knows she’ll have to do” imlosingit.

April 25: death on two legs. mr. mercury said it best. what is my excuse. i do drunk dialing minus the alchohol. god damn i’d hate to see what i’d do under the influence. but you see what you’ve done? this is what i get for giving myself to you in the first place .indiangivericannotbewhoiwish. it goes like this. i am here. now i’m there.

April 26: got a heavy metal mouth that hurls obscenity and i get my check from the trash treasury because i took my own insides out it don’t matter cause i have no sex life all i want to do now is inject my ex wife.

April 28: “can anybody find me somebody to love”

May 7: “You got a new friend, now I’m the odd man gone. You got a new friend. You got a new friend, I know. And your mom’s got you convinced that he’s the one. He’s all you need, so forget me – marry him at once. But if you ever change your mind…I could still buy that box of wine. I still have your copy of Harold and Maude. But you got a new friend. Yeah, you got a new friend” i’ve been weaving you a playlist, if you put together all the lyrics from these past few entries, you’ll see.you’ll see. “i’ll write the album of the year, and i know she’ll love me then. i swear to god she did its the way she’d bite my lower lip and push her hips against my hips and dig her nails deep into my skin.” i’m in a slump.

May 14: “In periods of rapid personal change, we pass through life as though we are spellcast. We speak in sentences that end before finishing. We sleep heavily because we need to ask so many questions as we dream alone.”

May 18: this is prefect non fiction fiction. oh look what i found. this evening,while cleaning. i found your diary. it doesn’t get any better than this. this is the scalp off the head of your worst enemy. just what were you thinking? leave it to me. i’ll write your life. displeasing things. i’ve already started on some of the bigger events.wedding days..the part where i can’t figure out why i can’t seem to just forget you completely.every word i write will be the truth about how and why you threw me away. things that you’d only find deep inside someones diary. and when i fill all the pages i’ll send it back your way. you know, just to see what you think.

May 23: you’ve got to hope there’s someone for you, as strange as you are. who can cope with the things that you do, without trying to hard.cause you can bend the truth, till it’s suiting you. these things you’re wrapping all around you, you’ll never know what they will amount to. cause life is just going on without you. it’s the end of the things you know….here we go. listen to this song. it’s moving

May 29: since you’ve been gone i cant breathe for the first timeeeeshegivesmebutterflies? whaaaat.how.

here’s the May 30th post

BRENDON

March 15: don't shake. i hate to see you tremble. looking forward to california next week. march 24, anaheim, house of blues. see you there.. does anyone have anymore suggestions for good bands out there? if so, please tell me. watched "badder santa" in class last week. very funny movie. also, any donations to the "brendon is a helpless, hopeless bum" fund would be greatly appreciated. thank you.

March 18: ground control to major tom. take your protein pills and put your helmet on.* i learned a few things today: the school system is fucked. white "thugs" at my school are degrading towards girls and very rude (and loud as well). some people really DON'T have a brain. sad. i almost died driving today. i was waiting in the far left turn lane at a red light when a random van going around 60 jumped the median and rammed the truck in front of me. scared the shit out of me. luckily no one was hurt. im wondering if i should walk with my class. you know, the whole graduation ceremony...

March 25: it’s not enough to hear me say you’ve won* california was awesome. it was good to see friends and meet new people. played a lot of gameboy. super mario 3 is an addiction. the new mars volta cd is awesome as well. i still havent found what im looking for.

April 6: ...it's so close but we're so far away...* sadness. i cant have much dairy anymore b/c it ruins my voice. would anyone possibly have a diet that excludes dairy? i would greatly appreciate it. the 2nd song on the new mae album is amazing to me. im beginning to lose faith in medicine. we are still writing. i really hope some of you enjoy this record. love.

April 12: a very merry unbirthday to me. today is the day where im supposed to feel older. more mature. responsible. legal…nope. today is meant to be a leap into the rest of my life. a new beginning…nope. every year on this day is meant to be a “happy birthday” but today is just “birthday” mein getburtstag.  i’ll stop looking forward to birthdays.

April 25: sooner or later we all sleep alone hmm these entries seem to be getting more and more pointless. that, or i'm just getting ornery and tired. i think its both. some kid in my german class was ranting about how "rock-a-billy" started every modern genre we listen to today. nice try, kid. hey monica. haha. check it out: "monica is the coolest girl ever. we're gunna get married.i love her." hahaha. nice.

May 6: you get me every time, why’d you have to be so cute? to those attending my school: generally i wouldnt talk to you, but i, just that desperate for friends and attention. i love dreams. when they come true.

May 14: get up you son of a beeotch, cause [brendon] loves ya “i hope they love you like i did when you needed me…”   so anxious to begin a new routine.

May 30: where are we; what the hell is going on? imogen heap= amazing. period. the countdown has begun to maryland. excitement. stress. anxiety. we’ve got the best of both worlds. dance and “other.” i hope you kids are ready for it. “we continue now with our piano interlude.”

Learn to Camp program by Ontario Parks

Camping, especially in the summer, is a long-standing tradition for many Canadians and while it is a great way to spend time outdoors and reconnect with friends and family it requires some skills and planning.  However what if you’re new to Canada from a country where camping wasn’t a thing or grew up in a family that didn’t camp?  We fell into the second category and never camped before until we tried the Learn to Camp program offered by Ontario Parks.

To mark the occasion, we recorded a video of our first-ever camping (mis)adventures for our YouTube Channel:

If you liked this video then remember to subscribe to our YouTube Channel to view all our videos!

Our Experience

We always said camping was not for us and said ‘no’ to previous invitations from friends, however we finally said ‘yes’ when Ontario Parks asked us to attend their Learn to Camp program.  We were the perfect couple for it….virgin campers.

Bronte Creek Provincial Park ambassador Sheila Wiebe

The Learn to Camp Program includes your choice of 1 or 2 overnight camping experiences at select Ontario Park campgrounds.  We chose Bronte Creek Provincial Park in Oakville.  Once we committed, we then picked the weekend we wanted to attend and it was time to follow through.

Our Learn to Camp Program Coordinator provided us with LOTS of info including a very detailed Information Guide with several checklists on what to bring in terms of food, clothing and personal hygiene.  This really removed any guesswork and planning.  For once the planning was done for us.  Truthfully all we needed to do was figure out what we were going to feed ourselves and how we were going to entertain ourselves.  All of the camping gear like: tents, air mattress, camp stove, kitchen utensils, firewood, and even S’mores kits are provided through the program!

Getting There

Bronte Creek PP is located in Oakville, Ontario.  However, please note that Campground & Day-Use Area are in 2 different locations which are far apart and you will have to drive between the two (they’re working on a pedestrian bridge that will link the two together one day).

Fees

It varies if you want 1 night or 2 nights, so visit the Ontario Parks website for current program fees.

Classroom Instruction

It’s an outdoor classroom setting, where groups of no more than 15 sit around in camping chairs and the camping instructors teach all the ins and outs of enjoying time outdoors.  Our instructors for the weekend were Andrew and Brittnie, both of whom have been camping all over Ontario for 15 years.

They taught our group of newbies everything we needed for a first timers experience in the great outdoors.  They obviously taught us how to setup and use the equipment like the dining shelter, tent, campfire, camp stove and more.  Watch our video to see the outdoor learning setup.

Safety is top of mind too, there’s some things that noobs may take for granted.  For example, if you’re going to use a propane fueled camp stove, DO NOT use it while inside the dining shelter.  The high heat can melt or even burn the thin fabric of the shelter.  That’s just no good.

  The classroom session was more than just about the equipment itself.  We learned about the types of plants in the area and creatures we were sharing the forest with.  By the way, there’s definitely raccoons in the park.  Tony had accidentally left a raw chicken tray in a bag on our campsite and forgot to dispose of it properly.  Sure enough, in the middle of the night, some raccoons had picked up the scent, started tearing up the garbage bag and even started fighting over the scraps left inside.  Oops.  He wont make that mistake again.  You see, Tony had forgotten one of the cardinal rules of camping…food and food waste should be properly put away or disposed of, so that you don’t attract the wildlife to share your campsite at 3:02am.  Lesson learned.

We found a super cute baby preying mantis!

Important things to keep in mind

You will be outdoors all day and night, so preparation is key.  Consider what the weather will be like that weekend, both during the day AND night.  Nights can get pretty cool and moist.  You also want to prepare for different weather conditions, cause you know, you can never be too sure when it will start pouring rain.

Different Kinds of Camping

Car Camping – This is the most common kind of camping in which you pull up to a campsite in your vehicle and use it for storage as well as a means of getting supplies.

Backcountry Camping – This rough & rugged style of camping can be done in a campground or on crown land however its typically very remote, without amenities and requires hiking or canoeing to get to. We toured a backcountry campsite during a previous adventure in southwestern Ontario.  Check it out!

Solo Camping – Experienced Campers, like our Guides Andrew & Brittnie, go camping alone, yes I said alone, to enjoy alone time in nature.  Our good friend Camper Christina also does this, all the time.  She’s even gone camping when it’s been -40 degrees out!  She documents all her trips on her blog.

Glamping – This is our kind of camping.  If you want the everyday conveniences, a slightly upscale version of camping with an outdoor feel to it, then glamping is more your style too.  The opportunity to try glamping presented itself before we tried camping so if you’re interested then click here.

Class photo – We survived our first camping trip!

Checklist for your visit

It’s a really convenient checklist when you register for Learn to Camp.  You need to bring your clothes, personal hygiene products, food and entertainment like a book, soccer ball or deck of cards.  The rest of the items are all provided by Ontario Parks.  Tony explains the checklist in our video.

We’re both really happy to have tried this program and we both ended the weekend with a huge sense of accomplishment.  Camping had always been out of reach for us because we came from families that just never tried it before.  The whole process had been demystified for us with the thorough (and very patient) instruction from our camp guides. We’re currently looking at getting our own camping gear so we can get out there on our own.  There’s literally hundreds of different campgrounds in this massive province of ours, and each one is unique, with different features for you to enjoy.  We’d love to start exploring them all.  It’s kind of what this blog is actually all about, we started it to explore every nook and cranny of Ontario, Canada, and it looks like we won’t be done anytime soon.

Our Learn to Camp program was sponsored by Ontario Parks however all opinions, recommendations & reviews are our own.

Have any photos or videos of your visit that you would like to share with us?  Send them over to @LetsDiscoverON.

I love this face mask. It is a bentonite clay mask which reduces puffiness, removes impurities and toxins from the skin. The eucalyptus makes your skin feel tingly and fresh. #mydisco. @letsdisco https://www.instagram.com/p/CQXfpZrpQi9/?utm_medium=tumblr
