What are you going to do this summer?

Hmmm...well there are alot of things i would love to do this summer. I would love to spend some time at the lake this year, just fishin and boating. I've been planning a week that me and my girlfriend are going to go to Dallas, Tx. that is not definate but we both agreed that we want to go somewhere together this year. She wants to go to a beach some where but im not to big on beach's. There are alot of other things i would like to do like just lay around by a pool with friends. i would also like to get some good target practice in with my bow and my rifle to get ready for the upcoming hunting season. I'm pretty basic when it comes to summer so i guess the main thing is just to enjoy the weather as much as possible seeing as how i hate cold weather.

Whats makes you happy?

Going to the lake makes me very happy. It is a time when i can just chill and relax and not think about the stresses of the weekday. Where i can wake up at 8 am open a beer and get the day going. Whether its riding on a boat and tubbin or just sitting on the bank with my fishing pole and my mason jar the lake always relaxes me. Spending fun times with friends and making so many memories that you will remember the rest of your life and just sit back and joke about with the friends that you made them with. Then at night bust out the guitar by the bonfire and just sing and drink into the night. The lake is my second home and it would be my first if i could just find a good paying job down there.

When life gives you lemons make lemonade

One time at work i was called over to our other building by a friend of mine who was a little hard up for money and he wanted to sell me a certain muzzleloader. Me, already having one turned that down but then started to question about the rest of his gun collection. I persuaded him into selling me one of his pistols. then when i back to the other building i started to tell just a certain few people about my next purchase. Unfortunetly someone who i told and thought that we were good friends wanted the gun as well and went over with cash, gave him the money then and there and would follow him after work and get the gun from his house like i was supoposed to. later on in the day i went back over to make sure every thing was still good then he told me the news. But come to find out the next week i needed the extra cash for something very important and i had it due to me not buying the gun.

Luck of the Irish

If i was lucky enough to find a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow i would be so thrilled. The money that gold is worth today is insane and to find that much i could be set for life. The first thing i would do is pay off my familys debts and then disappear for six months to a year and just travel the world. I would send postcards home to family every other day showing them where i am and have been. After that i would return home to kentucky and buy up as much land as possible. that is my ultimate dream to have my own farm and thousands of acres to do whatever i wanted on it and live peacefully. i would definetly have some livestock like cows, bulls, horses, and hogs. i would plant on alot of the acres and grow my own food and also hunt for my meat. Basically i would live the Ted Nugent way of life and that is off the land. I would also enroll myself and my girlfriend and anyone else in my family that would want to go into college. i may want to live like a hick but i dont want to be as dumb as one. i would major in wildlife biology so i could further my land and know how to take better care of it and the wildlife on it. Now i will say this i will have all the nice redneck toys like the best 4-wheelers on the market and the nicest boats available. i would have to buy me a candy orange 69 Charger with the dixie horn and all as well as the Grave Digger monster truck along with alot of other senseless things that i would want but dont really need!

Thoughts about Blog project

I can say that i did learn about what i was blogging about, The Copenhagen Accord, but to be honest there wasn't much conclusion to it. i learned about the accord but the fact that it still isn't completed and no country accepted it was discouraging. I believe that i would have enjoyed it more if i had a different topic that i could have understood more and had more interest in. i really don't have any suggestions for improvements. With my topic i do still have a couple of questions about the Copenhagen Accord, like since it didnt meet the deadline, is there a new one? i tried to find the answer but came up with none. i have actually blogged before but it was on myspace about some personal feelings that i was having and what was going on in my life. i enjoy blogging like that because it is somewhat soothing for me to get my emotions out. And i have found that blogging is one of my favorite ways to let things go. Now if i am talking about certain people then i always talk in gererals and never mention certain people or really go in depth if it was a serious thing. Usually i like to write things that lead up to a moral you could say or something with a lesson. Also it is a way to express my broad thinking about life.

America loves the Olympics

This is a comedy quote but at the same time their is alot of truth to this. This is the time when people get to sit at home and root against their least favorite country whether it becasue of a past war or just a dislike of someone they know who's origin is from that country. I'm sure alot of folks will find themselves rooting against the russians from what happened in the 1980 Olympics or the dislike that some people have for Canadians just from watching the cartoon show "South Park". For whatever reason Americans, where ever they are from, have at one point rooted against another country because of what we have always heard growing up that America is the greatest country. Our competativeness is also something to look at. Growing up and even as an adult there has been at least one time where we have tried harder to exceed at something and even gloat a little about our accomplishment. And with those two things we put them together and want nothing more than to see America dominate the competition and see our flag at the highest tier waving proudly. Some call it foolishness to root so hard against another country but others call it patriotic.

Reaction to MLK speech

When this speech was wrote and then said aloud it was very powerful. For the time when blacks were being assalted and ridiculed for their color it was definetly something that needed to be said. I like how Martin luther King Jr. did not just point out the south for where these things were happening but he also pointed out that even in the north it still continued. I also liked how he mentioned to not turn to physical violence to demand these rights. Physical violence, in those days, was not something the police were going to tolerate and would probably just soon kill anyone who fought back. One thing that i dont agree with and i think that it still has a effect today is how he mentioned the police several times in the speech basically mocking them. I do understand for them days that the police were crooked and such but that might have had an effect on why alot of people these days still have a real bad distaste for police. The speech works because everyone could relate to this at the time. With all the racism going on and the injustices that followed this was something that did need to be said and taken serious. He did not just talk to blacks and whites in the speech but he talked to different religious groups that as well might have been feeling some discrimination. The speech is very inspiritional and has gone down in history as one of the greatest speechs ever said allowed. It has been put right along side the Gettysburg Address.
