I think we should have no government in this country. With the way things are headed, our country is going to cause a world war 3. I think that our country should be ran by free trade and enterprise, small businesses should be very important, and we should make our government be ran by every single person in the U.S. We should not allow people the right of welfare as they are the ones that put themselves in that situation. People shouldn't get money from the taxes of the hardworking parents and other people out there. We should have our own choice on whether or not to pay taxes as it all goes towards the government and they are all fat pigs who spend our money and don't spend it wisely, hence Obamacare. The people need to rise up and cause some havoc, and make anarchy reign. This country is sadder every day, it needs to be stout, strong, and awesome.
 
 
 I am a Chevy fan but sometimes people get stuck with vehicles they don't like. In that case, I am that kind of person. I got stuck with a piece of junk Ford Ranger that barely ran and looked like crud. Since i wasn't going to get a different vehicle for school and for myself i decided to put some work into the ranger. I wanted to get rid of the dinky little tires it had and get new rims for it. The problem was that to get the tire size i wanted(31 inches), i needed about a 4 inch lift kit. So i bought a lift for around 600 bucks and started from there. We got 5 matching offroad rims for a bargain at a pawnshop to go with the tires. We only got 4 tires because of the price and due to possibly getting bigger tires next time around. The tire shop in Pea Ridge mounted the tires and we took them home. To start on the lift, we jacked the truck up and started to tear apart the suspension for modifications. Then we reinstalled the new shocks, springs, drop brackets, and other parts of the lift kit. The pit man arm, which allows the truck to steer, had to be replaced and that was the biggest pain. Then we got done after two days and about 6 hours. We put the tires on and took a test drive. My truck rode like a tank but it felt so much better up in the air. Then our next project was paint. So far the truck is primed and just needs to be fine sanded to finish up with the actual color wanted. We have also built a custom bumper and are planning a few other things like stereo, engine, exhaust, and off road lights and accessories. That is my little tank truck project.
 
 
I am very into paintball for those people who don't know. I started when i was 8 years old and have only gotten more into it and better. The field in Tonitown hasn't been able to enjoy my presence due to my lack of money lately. I'm working on getting a job to be able to paintball every weekend i'm free. There has been many highlights of my paintball career. One of my best kills ever was a long ball shot that i hit someone in the knee with. I was at Wyandotte, Oklahoma at D'Day Adventure Park. The event was Blackhawk Down and i was on the Somalian team. We were posted up in a barn in the event that had half a thousand people playing in. There was a big valley that a team was assaulting across to the town we were in and i was lobbing paint into the valley and happened to hit a guy in the knee over 100 yards away. Luckily the guy didn't cheat and called himself out, and we battled for a few hours in the town. 
The best highlight of my career is a big game we had at Tonitown where my paintball team of 10-20 people faced a group of close to a hundred people and pulled off the win. I was running low on paint near the end of the round and i ran straight at the other team as a last resort and killed 6 people in a span of two seconds with my full auto gun. The game was awesome and those are some of my paintball career highlights.
 
 
        I’ve missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I’ve lost almost 300 games. 26 times I’ve been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I’ve failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed. –Michael Jordan. 


I love this quote. This is an amazing example of how you should never give up. Not only does it put into perspective on how many failed attempts Michael Jordan made, but how his career ended up. He became arguably the best player in NBA history. This leans toward me because of challenges i have faced. I am not too big, only 165 pounds, and i play football. I am on the high school team and being so small sometimes makes you want to give up. I will never give up football. Michael Jordan barely made his high school team, no one would've guessed he make it to the pro's. My dream is to get to the NFL and with his example, it is very possible. 


People often say that motivation doesn’t last. Well, neither does bathing.  That’s why we recommend it daily. –Zig Ziglar

I know that by following this quote, i can and will achieve my goals. You need a motivation every day and my motivation is my body. Staying in shape will allow me to get to where i want to be in football. The last quote i like is:


Ask and it will be given to you; search, and you will find; knock and the door will be opened for you. –Jesus

If you search for a way to succeed, you will find the success, try to reach that goal, and you will find out great things and get better and better every day. That is my inspiration, what is yours?
 
 
He was bewildered by his ability he just discovered. All he could think about was going faster, higher, farther away from his life that he had just the other day. Scaling walls, weaving between buildings in the air, nothing could stop him.

This man always dreamed of being extraordinary in a way that no one else could be. He found a way through a new medicine. The medicine defied laws of physics when reacting to a humans body. This medicine was developed to enhance a persons ability of muscle control and reaction to surroundings. Little did he know, the medicine came at a price; a price he was willing to pay. The developers of this product didn’t know the explanation to how the reaction works; to make a human be able to do what he did. He could jump, run, and do what a bird could do but without exhausting.

Freedom is what he called the medicine, a way out of the dangers of the world. Not only could he escape anything at any time, he would never be able to be caught; his body wouldn’t let him. The man does not have complete control, but his mind allows the body the choice, to pick a way. Like a new brain, the body senses danger, and leaps away without question. It is like a sixth sense added to his abilities.

The expense is speech, no words could come from his mouth. The only occurrence was the wind rushing into his mouth. When people started to learn of his new ability, they wanted it, but they couldn’t have it. He was the true, and only one, to earn the right of receiving this medicine. People were angry, sad, and confused. Why could there not be more of the pills he had received? The answer, the medicine chose him. Not only was the medicine an average one, but one used everyday to save lives. It was used for emotional struggles, to build up character, and to relieve pain. His medicine was the best it could be.

Only through an angel, a true god’s angel, was this a possibility. Good and bad, he was given the angels blessing, which was faith. The medicine was of his faith and his faith in himself. He believed he could fly without wings, so the angel granted him wind to push him into the air. He saw himself climbing walls with ease, the angel granted him with attraction to those walls. The faith he had, made him who he is. He believed that through faith, actions speak for yourself, when words can’t be spoken. The man was reborn and saw the true meaning of life. Faith was needed to achieve what is wanted in life. Don’t think you can’t do something, it’s always possible. Maybe not with your literal body, but through faith, anything is possible when in need.

I am going to talk about my PS4 and give an honest review about it. I chose the PS4 over the Xbox one for many reasons. First, i have been a Playstation fan my whole life. I had the PS1, the PS2, still have a PS3, and now, my baby, I have a PS4. Aside from being a fan, the specifications of the PS4 are better than the Xbone. The PS4 runs 1080p resolution all the time, while the Xbox one runs 720p. When playing at different time there may not be a huge difference, but side by side, the PS4 looks a whole lot better. The details in a game are more immense, and the quality just awe strikes you. The PS4 is also 100$ cheaper. It doesn't include a camera like the Xbox one does, but they have an available camera. And even with the added camera, 40$ cheaper than the Xbox. One of the most important parts to the PS4 is its controller. The controller is a dualshock 4, which is a huge improvement from the dualshock 3, which seemed cheap and uncomfortable. The dualshock four is a million times better, has a touchpad that is still being worked on integration. Once the touchpad is used more, the PS4 controller will be more than just better than the xbox one controller like it is now, but more advanced. Next is the games. Right now the games out for both systems are kind of dull, but the PS4 has a way more promising future than the games for the Xbox one. Overall, the PS4 has been rated an 8.5 out of 10 by critics, whenever not being used at full capacity, and the Xbox one a mediocre 7 out of 10. Do the math, PS4 is better!
 
 
Last week, when I was gaming in the bedroom, a strong gorilla came in through my open window. To my surprise the gorilla immediately jumped on the bed and bounced right over the chair, knocking over the glass of root beer that I had poured earlier.The gorilla then ran into the bathroom where it over turned the soap that was sitting on the toilet. After 16 minutes of chasing the gorilla through the house I finally caught it and put it outside. The gorilla quickly climbed into the nearest truck and drove off. He seemed very happy to be driving my truck. I was happy too, i hate that truck, it is a Ford. Because of the gorilla, I now drive a lifted Ford. I don't like it that much but it is better than the ford i used to have. Thanks Mr. Gorilla, for taking my crappy truck!

The End

 
 
Australia is the dream place for me! It could be for you too! It is the most sought after place for my future because of so many reasons. Where you can go, what you can do, and all the animals and people there are very interesting. I cannot wait to finally get a chance to go to Australia!

Aboriginal Australia would be my first stop. In Aboriginal Australia, the culture has been living for 50,000 years plus. Rugged, natural, and just breathtaking scenery are a few reasons this area is my first interest. The people that live there, have so much rich heritage and history that i could spend a year there and learn new things every day about their past. There are very many famous cuisines, and the Kakadu National Park.

Within Aboriginal is the Red Centre. This location is very sacred to the Aboriginese people due to its eccentric colors and vegetation that is a lush green. There are big water holes, dusty red roads, and huge slabs of rock. Red Centre is a place to get away from the world as it is quite isolated from surrounding territories.

Kakadu is the next stop. Kakadu National park, like i mentioned earlier, is the biggest national park in Australia. There is rain forest, rock art galleries, and other interesting land marks over 50,000 years old. Millions of migratory birds go to Kakadu because of its environment. There are 6 dramatically different seasons of weather here and the birds time it in the right time of the year to migrate to. Other things are prehistoric crocodiles, thundering waterfalls, and the sparkling water holes.

Alice Springs is another stop for the hopeful future trip. Outback adventures with suv’s and atv’s are very popular because of the lands mass, rough terrain and animals to see. There are very spiny plains making walking the land difficult but a workout if needed.

There is so many things to do in Australia, it is like a never ending adventure. You can go to Nigaloo Marine Park, with more than 500 species of fish, and coral. Kimberely is where you go for a camel ride at Broomes Cable Beach or go to the towers of Bungle Bungle Ranges. You can go to Lake Argyle, which is a massive lake, and have some fun boating and diving adventures. If you want to see tides of water taller than buildings, you can go to Buccaneer Archipelago. The Great Barrier Reef, is the best place to snorkel, dive, and can be seen from outer space because of how big it is. There is also the largest sand beach/island called Fraser Island. Flinders Range is also an offroading adventure tour spot. A very interesting place is Byrons Bay, that is if you are into surfing, alternative philosophies, and hedonistic indulgence. If you want snow and big mountains, the Australian Alps have amazing view and are the biggest around. The Blue Mountains is another area to go for good views, and has over one million hectacres of tall forests, sandstone cliffs, canyons, waterfalls, and bushland. If you want to be close to town but also out in the nautural beauty, go to Namagdi Natinonal Park, being only 45 minutes from town. A very famous spot is Kangaroo Island. From pelicans to sea lions at Seal Bay, to sleepy koalas, and of course, tons of kangaroos, animals overload Kangaroo Island but not just kangaroos. The Great Ocean Road, is the place to go if you are looking to purpose to your sweetheart or get a girl to really like you. Gippsland, is the biggest expanse of inland waterways going into a country. The Tasmanian Wilderness has 17 national parks for those who want to hit up a bunch of forests and cool land. Last but not least is Freycinet. Freycinet it very interesting ecspecially for people that like the color pink. The mountains there are literally a pink kind of granite, and to back the pink up, there are pure white beaches, a turquoise sea, and the highly rated Freycinet National park.

Australia is the number one place I want to go to. I actually plan to lve there for a few years and if i have a good job, have a vacation house there. As you can see, theres a whole lot to do in this outback country, and so much to still see. The list it too big of how many expeditions you can go on, but theres some choices that can definitely be the top ones. I cannot wait for a chance to go and hope it happens some day!



 

Christmas break!

01/14/2014

 
 Christmas break was awesome! I did so much over the couple weeks we had. It was slow up until Christmas really, until then, me and my brother went to the gym every day. On Christmas, we all started opening presents and ate breakfast. We always have cinnamon and cheese toast with hot cocoa. Then I went to my room and got my PS4 set up. I got my account for online game play created, downloaded the apps and games i wanted, and could afford. When that was all done, I sat on my butt and video gamed all break! Occasionally, meaning everyday, I went to the gym to pump some iron and get swole! That was how my break was!
 
 
First time doing the blog for Mr. Schwartz' class. I guess i will describe myself in 6(football number) words, food, family, football, paintball, gym, church. That is me!
