Reflection blog

Starting this past fall, I was enrolled into a perspectives class at Kennedy. One of the main assignments all year was to keep this blog site going and keep it updated. I did try my best to keep this updated as much as possible, but I kept running into the problem of not having anything to talk about also fallowing my question. Finally I found out that I do not have to stay on the topic that I first picked, but that I could write about what ever I wanted to. So all happy about that, I got on here to blog, and got to thinking, and crap nothing came to mind to write about. At that point there was pretty much nothing exiting going on in my life. So as time went on, I had more and more to write about. But I still wasn't writing enough to keep my grade passing. Than Spring break came around and that gave me something to talk about. Not that I did anything, but because I found out that were moving. So that gave me a writable topic for a while. But than I ended up right back where I am right now.

This blog site has been nice to have because it has been a way to get stuff out of my system, kind of like someone to talk to, without actually having to talk to someone. I didn't really like that we are graded on this blog, because of the point that, not always do I have something to talk about. I have never really been big on sharing my life or my feelings, but having this blog site has helped me with that. If I could rewind and start this blog all over with a new grade, I would try harder, and get a better grade. Lets just hope that I pass this class for what I have tried my best on.

The Move/missing

Earlier I was talking about a move to North Carolina, and I was saying how I did not want to go. But lately I have been thinking about it and it came to mind, I might like going there for a year. It will be hard laeaving my friends, leaving my girlfriend, but most of all, it will be hard leaving my brothers curt and chris. They like life here so they won't be going down with us. If I had a choice, I would love to join them in staying back here.



Curt has had my back all my life, sometimes when I don't need it. Hes always been quick on asking me if I want to join him in pretty much whatever he does. Every weekend hes the one to ask if I can go to dance mor with him. Around halloween, he was quick to jump the gun to ask me to go to the haunted corn field with him and his friends, which I will say that one of them thoughts I was older and started flirting with me. Hell, even when she found out I was younger than her, that never stopped her. But I'm not complaining. So Curt will be greatly missed by me.



Than there is Chris. He's also like curt in ways of inviting me along and having my back. When he sees me bored sitting at home, or sees in my face that I'm having life issues. He's always quick to get me out of the house and get my mind off what ever it is on. My dad has been diabled for awhile now. Even though he don't really like to show it, and still does things that, later on, he knows hell be hurting for. I have never got to have the privlage to hunt with him, but does that stop me, no. And why not? Cause Chris is always there to take me hunting with him. Now it's almost were like a team, non of us two hunt without the other. Over the last 5 years of my hunting life I'v only gone twice without him. Over the last 5 years we have grown to our own hunting tactics. When Chris knows I'm in a bind, he is also quick to help me. Awhile ago, I took this girl to the movies with me and him, and at the time that was my girlfriend. And we had a good time up until the movie got over and we were walking out to the trucks, and a girl and a group of her friends the didnt get along with my girlfriend. So they walked up behind her to egg on a fight. So I rushed her out to the truck and locked her in, than me and chris went to straighten things out with out violence, well that didnt help. the point of this story is that if chris wasnt there, I would have been left hanging alone.

There will be alot that I will miss, but It'll be a good expierence for me to get away from Iowa for a while. I leave on June 27, 2009. I'm ganna end this posts and if there are any questions or comments, please feel free to leave one and I will respond on my next post. Thanks and have a wonderful day.

Long Day....Great Ending

Yesterday, after I got out of school, I went home to work on my car. I drive a 1994 mercury topaz. we like to call it a ford topaz because its been wrecked so many times, it has a ton of parts on it from a ford tempo. Lately it has been putting along only when I accelerate, it idles like its fine. Or when you first start it up and rev up rpm a little bit, you can see the black smoke coming out to the exhaust. You can smell the its burning rich. I tried to change all spark plugs and wires, and got nothing. yesterday I went and bought a new fuel filter, because when I took the old one off, it we extremely clogged. And again that didn't help. So I drove to the auto parts store and got carb cleaner and fuel injector cleaner. I took the air manifold off rev up the rpm again and let that suck in some carb cleaner. But that did not help. So thinking someone put something in my gas tank. I put fuel injector cleaner in it, and as of now that helped none whats so ever. But on top of all of this, my Cadillac converter dropped down and was kinda dragging on the ground, it didn't break, just unhooked. So I went and got some plumbers wire, I put a car jack under the converter and raised it up and tied it higher. After that I got a little exited because after spending all day working on this car, I thought I had fixed something. But then it came time to drive it. At that time I had figured out that I raised the Cadillac converter up to high and I raised it into the clutch. So now when I drive it, the clutch is a little bit harder to shift. After all of this, my girlfriend stops by to tell me her kid is sick so I went with her to take him to the doctor. When that got over, I ended my day the way everyman would want to. I went fishing.

The Big Move

About a month ago my parents took spring break off and went down to North Carolina, as what I thought of for a vacation. But they came back with the good news of buying a new house. The first thing that popped in my head was what about my life here. So I said that to my mother and all she could say back was the normal "oh but there will be so many more oppertunities there". I really do not want to move. Even though my parents are heat freaks, I on the other hand do not mind the cold. I have everything here I want here in Iowa. I have my family, I have my friends, and I have my wonderful girlfriend Melissa. Not to mention the awsome hunting and fishing we have here.
But even though I do not want to go, I know that getting my education in high school would be much easier there. I'll be right around four different nascar tracks. And there is bear and cougar hunting which I will do. Aside of deep sea fishing. The property we have is a total of 10 acres with woods. It is the kind of enviorment I would want to live in, but I dont want to live there without the people I love the most.
