September 11 Entry: Country Lane Adventure
Alright, so let's make this clear before I proceed further with this entry: this post is about the videos that took place on a residential road in Whitby named Country Lane, and is not about an adventure of me going down a rustic, country road for adventure. I know that's very obvious to those that know the place, or have seen the videos, but as you know, I don't do clickbait (Gasp! A YouTuber who doesn't do clickbait?!😱😱😱) so I don't want anyone being mislead or disappointed by the title.
Anyways! So today is sunny, but not so warm Monday where I am in Ontario. Well, for some 17°C is considered beautiful, but not for me! It's supposed to go up to 22°C a little later, but at the time I type this, it's not there yet. Now, let us go ahead and discuss those places I visited between September 2-3.
Yay! My cases came! 😄 Or so I thought until I cut open the package and only saw one. 😒 I suspected that it was really only going to be one in the package anyway, but was sort of hoping that they would've put them both in there. They didn't. At the time the video was filmed, I had no idea what happened to the other case, which was a black and blue Nokia Lumia 1520 Robotic Belt Clip Stand Hard Soft Cover Case. I know. That's quite a mouthful to say. So! Now that I finally had the ample amount of time to reach out to the store located all the way in California, they told me that the Warehouse didn't actually have it in stock. They apologized for the inconvenience and refunded me the full amount for the case that was missing. Ok, great, but they should have been aware of their own inventory before they sent it out! I even sent them a message telling them to to change the inventory online, but to date, they still have not changed it. Cell Cases USA! Get your act together and change this before someone accidentally makes the mistake of purchasing a Lumia 1520 case in that colour! While I'm enjoying my current case I received from them, it makes me a little concerned about another purchase from them. 😕 I really want and need this case, so I turned to eBay for more options. There was zydistro, where I had the option to get the case for C $7.16 + free shipping! The caveat? The only colours were pink and purple. I really did not want another purple case, so I had to look further. There was case_ology selling the black and blue version for C $12.70 + C $13.97 shipping. And then there was cellulartrunk selling the same case for C $16.34 + C $13.97. Now for some, they'd likely choose case_ology because they're selling it cheaper, but I ended up choosing cellulartrunk. Why? Because they also give you a pry tool along with your case, plus they had less negative reviews. Interestingly, both are rated at 99.5% despite that. Both are also located Walnut, California, United States. Ok? You want to know who's also located in Walnut, California? Cell Cases USA. Yeah, very fishy... It's either they're all the same person, or perhaps Walnut, California just happens to have a lot of smartphone case vendors. I hope the latter is the case. I hope even more that my case ends up arriving in the new condition that they have listed! We'll see either sometime this week or next week.
Captain, though I had an idea where your ship was, it felt like it was going to take longer than I expected to get there, but I eventually made it and explored it like a professional! 🚢 Ok, the professional part is highly, highly subjective, so don't take that part seriously at all. In fact, my videos are unfortunately far from professional quality. While I'm honestly not aiming for flagship studio quality videos, what I really want most is for my videos to not be so shaky, and to be shot in 4K without storage anxiety. Anyways! Despite the name, Captain Michael does not have a ship theme, rather it has an airplane theme, which is fitting for the person it was named after. I admittedly never paid any attention to that, nor have I looked in depth about it, so my knowledge is very limited on the school's theme and the man behind it. This school was average to explore, but had a few interesting/beautiful things to photograph, namely the grapes bench and part of the front.
Looks like Captain Michael is another one of those schools with a Roman Catholic counterpart close to it, so when I saw that, I knew I had to come to this place to be a creep. Kidding. Nobody was there, so we're all good and safe from the great, dangerous, weird, mysterious, childish, controversial, bewildering, haunting, rough GuuzakaTube🕶. Wow, what kind of unsettling description is that?! Anyways, let's just go ahead and discuss this school, yeah? So, Saint Luke was nothing extraordinary to walk around, but it was quite fun to walk through the big field to get there, and talk about things in the process. Now despite me saying that this school was average, again, like Captain Michael, it's front end was the most interesting part of it. Why? There were plenty of nice black benches, a big, glass cross on the wall, the garden's memory plaque, and other nice bits here and there that made it my favourite part of the school.
William's burger Public School. 🍔🍔🍔 Sorry, but I just had to say it! It was just too tempting! Now because this place obviously isn't a restaurant, you cannot buy burgers here. And because they likely encourage healthy eating, you probably might get frowned on for bringing fatty, greasy burgers here, so don't do that! Anyways, what's special about this school? Nothing. Just your small, typical suburban elementary school. It did have some pretty funny and interesting things to photograph as you'll see below, but no crazy playgrounds or xylophones were present. It was kind of funny (and mean!😜) to see everyone disappear not too long after I've come upon the grounds of William Burger Public School! See? I told you that my presence is very powerful/great/dangerous/weird/mysterious/childish/controversial/bewildering/haunting/rough! ⚡🏆😤😤😤🏆⚡
Why am I honestly discussing this failed video? Oh well. It's here and I took the time to edit and bother with it, so might as well! Thankfully, you're welcome not to watch it or read this segment about it, so no worries! 😁 Even though it was not actually the Biodiversity trail that I thought it was,the place still turned out to be pretty fun. In fact, probably better than what the actual Biodiversity Trail would have been. Why do I say that? Well, based on a YouTube video I saw of the actual place, it looks like all it is, is just a bike trail with bushes to the side. So perhaps these places should swap names? Who knows. Even though it was short, it felt a lot like one of those forest adventures I used to go on more often. Perhaps I should do another nature video soon, before the weather gets much colder. Not that I can't do one during the winter, but it would be nice to have a more recent 2017 video of one without snow on the ground.
I'm looking forward to seeing that Hybrid Combo case soon. It feels like a circuitous series of event with the process of getting my hands on the black and blue case, so cellulartrunk better not disappoint me! Oh yes, and now that I've reached this part of the blog, I should mention the mess going on with the hurricanes. First, hurricane Harvey, then Irma, and now apparently Jose? Gosh darn it! It's such a miserable and sad time to be in the Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean Sea right now, thanks to all the hurricanes. Thoughts and prayers for those that have to go through this, as it's a very stressful series of events to deal with evacuation and loss of loved ones. In Canada, or I should specifically say Ontario, we often feel that it's so safe and sheltered, but the reality is that we are prone to flooding from occasional torrential rains, and horrid winter storms. Oh, and remember the 2010 Central Canada earthquake? Yeah, let's not forget about that. Though rare, you cannot turn a blind eye to the possibility of another one coming. Are you prepared for natural disaster? Or do you feel that it can't happen to you? Watch and be in tune to your surroundings.
