But Where Have You Been? to be perfectly honest… i went away, and i might not return someday. my current path is unclear. its been colliding with this thing called humanity or was it called “reality”. i’m tired of being its…

This summer, instead of signing up for every tournament possible and travelling all over the Province to play Disc Golf, I’ve decided this summer I would aim at improving my overall skills by playing in a competitive men’s league here in the City and if any local tournaments are accessible within an hours drive of home.

Are you planning for an upcoming overland trip ? We certainly are.

In nineteen days Distracted in Alberta will have reached 365 days of being active on the internet and what have we learnt during those three-hundred and sixty-five days? The first thing we’ve learnt is although you, yourself might really like the title of your site, its not always taken by the audience in the same regards.
