Sleep, snakes and sphotos. hehe.

Well hello there fellow humanoids of the world.

This morning I am awake after sleeping 10 hours...an amazing feat, considering that I've been sleeping about 2 - 3 hours for the past month. Not due to insomnia, but rather having too much to do! Yes, and how does a person who has too much to do find the time to constantly tweet, be on FB, and write a blog? Usually I find the more a person has to do, the more they get done. Hmm...let me explain properly. Usually if there's nothing much to do, time gets filled with purposeless (though fun) things, like talking on the phone for hours, going here and there, watching TV etc. If you have many things to do, then whatever leftover awake time you have, gets spent doing more things, because you're so in the habit of being busy I guess. Whatever. I am simply rambling now :/

So there's a hike planned for the 23rd of this month. Usually I would go, but this time I'm not so sure. It's to Rincon Falls, a beautiful place I'm sure. At this time of year snakes are very active, so it's not uncommon to see one (or several) along the hike trail! The only problem with that is that the snakes seen are usually mapipires, one of the only two venomous snake species found in Trinidad (the other being Coral snakes). Just yesterday a friend was telling me of a hike he went on last weekend. They encountered three mapipires, and one guy got bitten! It's a bit scary to think about, considering that without treatment he would've died. Of course now there is antivenom, but (I believe) it's only available at hospitals, so you'd need to get to the hospital pretty quickly. If you're hiking somewhere up in the mountains, that's hard to do! Especially if you're far along the hike trail. Oh well. Despite all of the snakes, that's not the reason I'm not going. Well, I'm not sure. I guess we'll just have to wait and see, but hmm. On the plus side, that's a great opportunity to get some good photographs.

It's been a while since I've taken some first class photos. I mean, some of the best I took right in my backyard, but I need to go places also! That reminds me, I really need to look into getting a new camera.
