When is too far going to be too far?

There is some guys out there, flexing with every angle of muscle showing definition, and veins popping out all over the place. The girls seem somehow turned off, and it’s the veins all over the place that they don’t like. I just wondered if the girls try to do the same thing, which almost never happens, to flex and show all of the veins that would scare guys away, making them believe that these girls were once men before. I’d be freaked out too, ladies should just be ladies. They can play any sport they want, I don’t mind if they play hockey, football, and wrestling, it’s just about how they condition themselves.

I’ve been there when I was a little kid, I used to be extremely ripped and felt great all the time, now I just eat a lot, but try to burn it off as I work out in my short amounts of time in spite of the three AP classes I have and 30 hours of work every week. Among with a few clubs I’m in; it just doesn’t get to me anymore. I would love to get that energy again, but I just don’t have the time to condition myself, but I definitely don’t have the time to OVER condition and would never do it anyways. Those who over condition themselves must have some sort of problems later in life as they get older, don’t they?

Body builders have to constantly drink water as they age, so their muscles wouldn’t have to sag as fast. I’d rather work on the core strength, the pound for pound strength, where I wouldn’t have much to sag as I age. Where do those guys with tons of veins popping out go when they age?

Some guys didn’t work out until later in life. There was one crazy story of a 93 year old man who started bodybuilding at the age of 80 just to get attention from 70 year olds. Crazy story right? He said anyone can start, and should never stop. Well I guess I started really early, and should never stop? I’ve stopped running for a month or two, now I feel like crap, so I guess I’ll have to run again, and same goes with weightlifting. The only thing that is good about it is being able to eat a lot more to keep those calories restored, and I love eating, so it’s all good for me. Staying in condition if you weightlift and run would be 3000 calories a day, but if you don’t other than breathing and walking, then it’ll be 2000 per day.

Guttenburg review

The fishing trip to Guttenberg dam was time consuming, but it was worth it as you see so many hills, so many trees out there without leaves, it still covers up the hills 100%. The land is so pure, Amish people had the lands and we had the guide in this small town. The whole population of the small town however, fishes. There are walleyes, saugeyes, and saugers at every angle in the Mississippi river. They’re everywhere; it’s like pan-fishing for these toothy big fish. I could not imagine how big some of them can get in this area. I’d buy all of my time in the spring break to catch one of these monster walleyes and saugers to hang up on the wall. I need some neat outdoor furniture’s, and mostly it has to be outdoor things I’ve earned, and I know I’ve said this many times, but it is my life.

This would be the place to go for walleyes, although if I can go everywhere on earth, I would choose red river in Canada. The red river has extraordinary walleyes, one of a kind in this only planet. The walleyes can get up to a potential of 40 inches, which means “mother of all walleyes”. I don’t know if there is one that BIG out there, but they’ve caught 38 inchers up there. In Guttenberg the biggest walleyes caught there were 34 inches. But there could be bigger hiding on the bottom in those endless gallons of water. Guttenberg would be your best chance of all odds to get a monster walleye in Iowa. In any body of water in Canada, you could get many 30 inchers, but it all comes down to Red River, where only a few folks live in. I think if we had as many fishermen’s in Guttenberg as we do in Red River, the odds of someone catching a 40 incher is pretty immense. There are hundreds of boats out there in the spring time to catch these hungry walleyes. In Red River, a few Amish folks, and fishermen’s would go there, and come across some nice ones.

Just think of it as this, if you went to Red River in Canada and your first fish was a 30 inch walleye, would you be excited to imagine if you could catch a bigger one in that river? In Guttenberg, you’re really likely to catch a 15 incher walleye right off the bat, or your first one of the day. Then you’d think you’re going to catch many more of the same length walleyes. I have no clear explanation why people don’t go up to Red River, maybe because it’s too cold? I would go out of my way to get some big fish like that though!

Lost in screens

Wow, look at that 90 inch flat screen T.V, wow look at the new I-pad, wow look at that I-pod touch, wow look at these apps on this fancy smart phone, wow look at these new crazy laptops, and whoa there’s new game console better than the x-box? What do they all have in common? They’re electronics that are easy to get lost in. You’d be lost in the world of electronics just like that, because they’re very distracting and you could spent hours on end being distracted by them. They’re surprisingly cheaper, you may think it’s a lot of money, but if we didn’t have Chinese people working for these electronics and replace it on U.S workers based on the salary, it’ll cost an I-pad 15,000 to sell. We have all of these goods with such high marginal utility, that it’ll go through the roof, almost as effective as crack.

It’s too bad you’re going to be able to use it during your job shift, but afterwards, during your free time, you’d get your hands on it right away, because you don’t even want to go outside to enjoy the fresh air, just vegetating indoors, and growing unnatural paleness. It’s just not right, around Christmas times, people will still use their screens to keep themselves distracted from talking to their families and friends, or I should say the holidays and any other given time.

I don’t know if it’s just as a kid, but I cherish things more out of little things, I derived happiness more than I do now. It could also coincidentally be around the time when these screens weren’t so distracting in the ninety’s. It was more interacting with your family, especially during the holidays. I guess when it reaches to the thirties in the year of two thousand, it’ll be more distracting and I’ll start to notice I wasn’t exaggerating at all. I mean look at how much we’ve progressed in just a decade, we went from little toys to fancy smartphones, twitter, Facebook, and more ways to get attention from girls through the internet. It just doesn’t seem right at all. It should be more of saying hi to people like the normal people would, and it’ll be as realistic as it gets, when it comes to girls, because you’re actually there saying hi to them, and not through deceiving pictures on social networks.

New truck!

After searching for a great truck at a reasonable price, reasonable mileage, and reliable transmission, engine, and so on. My time has finally been paid off, saving money by the thousands, and only eighty two thousand miles. A ford ranger that is a decade old, is going to be my first car that’ll get me from point A to B. How do some people, however, get a nice big avalanche for their first car, isn’t that forty thousand dollars? People should be thankful that their parents are paying for part of it. I’m thankful that I have to pay for only half of it, not only because they’re helping me with it, but I get to resell that car for more than the half price if I keep it in good condition.

It just amazes me how some people would buy not only by the thousands on the cars, but by the hundred thousands, and perhaps millions. Isn’t that a little bit too much? It’s kind of like saying, ok, your monthly payment on this car is going to be twenty thousand EACH month. A million dollar car is worth more than ninety five percent of the Americans homes. It’s ridiculous to see that they invest their life for a car; however, I like to see that dogs in the cars get more attention from the kids rather than the sports cars. This is one of the very few things that should be that way, out of the many ways that shouldn’t be in our society.

This truck is a big step into my adulthood, to start progressing in jobs, internships, college, housing, and furniture’s, groceries, and yeah lots of budgeting. Now that I can travel anywhere at any given time with a full license, I can do more without having to borrow my parents car. This is just an example though, everyone always has it hard at the start, it’s a fact, because they don’t make as much, but they’re young and they want to have lots of fun in doing what they can do while they’re young. As you make the money you worked for, you’ll be older by then, and you’ll never have the youth in you to do what you’ve always wanted to do. Although I believe that experience should lead you to making more wage, and as a young person it is hard to get in the job, so you should be thankful once you have a good paying one, although it wouldn’t be as much for a starting year.

I worked with my minimum wage of Hy-Vee money to get all of this truck, which is only step one. I’ll need to work more on the internship so I can get a good job after college. It’ll be another big step, bigger than getting my first car.

Ice fishing

It’s that time of the year to start the stew, and let it warm up as you enjoy the warm tent indoors. The stew is the unlimited food for our unlimited time of spending time on ice. We would get in a group of five or more tents and share the stew in the middle of the five or so tents encircling it. We catch crappies all day and for a bonus, we’d come across some nice walleyes. It would be an exhilarating encounter if we ever come across some monster muskies with our only tiny two foot long ice fishing rods. It’s not unheard of, but we also heard of guys catching lots of nice 15-16 inch crappies all day at MacBride. It would be a dream to have those days, but it would be awesome if we ever get to get these monstrous 18 inch crappies, which would be a wall hanger for my room.

This year, my friend and I plan on making a homemade ice-fishing tent that would be six by seven ft. wide, and it would only cost us less than 40 dollars. That is money being saved right there, we would have more room than an ice fishing tent worth 200 dollars. The only thing we need now is “slammers” which is basically a wooden plank that would shoot the flag up if there’s a fish on, jigs, and more jigs. We would also need wax worms for bluegills and minnows for the hungry crappies and some walleyes. We would need a giant chub “minnow” for monster muskies that would bother to eat them, and they are not just the muskies you get in the summer, they packed on pounds to survive the winter, so they have a unique one of a kind, one season only, body. So if we do get one that is over 50 inches, it’s a wall hanger, otherwise in the summer it has to be over 55 inches.

We focus on the safety part; however, lots of ice fishermen die each year, by carbon monoxide, ice breaks, and freezing to death. We use propane heaters that would not produce carbon monoxide for us to breathe in. We also have our ice fishing tents and some extra warm gear if it gets less than 32 degrees, if it’s above 32 degrees, we’d be able to survive for days outside if you have sufficient sums of carbs in your body. Lots of people fuss out when it’s cold, only because their mentality isn’t that all great when they only focus on being warm. We’re also trained to tell how thick the ice is just by looking at the frozen lake. We can also tell how the ice is “rotten”, even if it’s a half a foot of ice; we can still break right through it, because it’s like Swiss cheese.

We really want it to freeze, not only to ice fish, but to get access to warm flowing parts of the lake, so we can safely get all the fish right under our tent as it is only vertical fishing technique possible. I want at least a foot of ice in the lakes, so I can get to the warm flowing parts of the water, which may only be 4 inches, but it’s still safe. This is the time of the year, early winter, to locate where the warm spots are as we observe ice and no ice, the spots where there is no ice would be the “hot” spot for fishing, and it should be easy to remember, hot means warm spot full of fish. We need the freeze now!

Global Warming

Global warming, if you disallow me to go ice fishing before January, then you crossed my line.

I missed those old days where there was snow during thanksgiving break. I missed those days where you could drive across the lake with your full-sized pickup truck. I missed those days where you could do doughnuts in the parking lot. I missed those days where you could make snowman and igloos. I missed those days where you could snowboard and ski without worrying about tripping on frictional grass. I missed those days where you’d wear solid white camouflage to hide yourself while deer hunting. I missed those days where you could drink hot coca by the fireplace after you’ve been outside having fun in the long cold nights. I missed those days where you could see snow reflecting like diamonds under the moonlight sky. I missed them so much, dearly, now it’s time to move on with global warming weather.

It’s all burning coal, making sulfur, warming up the greenhouse gases. Dealing with more mosquitoes that survived the weak winter kills, dealing with droughts in the spring, dealing with heat strokes, and dealing with pools being your best friends. You’d also have to deal with your ice cream melting after you just bought it in the grocery store. This is just not right, we need to change the weather, don’t use coal, don’t use these warming things. The choice is clear, use green energy, and you’ll get snow and regular temperature. Then you’ll get good crops, good biodiversity, and people enjoying the enhanced weather. If you don’t, then you may melt the Arctic, and it’ll melt even more as the weather gets hotter, and the water will be exposed and taking in the sun’s ray of heat, instead of ice deflecting the heat. You will get a flooded coastline, such as Baltimore with swimming sharks in the stadiums, and the fish get to take your house away as you go to Iowa. The middle of U.S.A, and we wouldn’t appreciate you taking our cornfields and civilize it. We used these cornfields to maintain our economy, we’ll have to push our price up, and less supplied, and our total revenue will go down, so we wouldn’t have as many farmers. So you must keep the green energy going and we’ll all be normal and fine.

The economy and the environment correlates a whole lot, you don’t think so? The environment is the place where we live, if we live in a bad economy, do we want to live there when there’s a better one?

World Ending

Something’s wrong with the weather recently. If it stays at sixty degrees in December, then I’m moving out, because imagine what would happen if it was the summer of the following year. It’d be literally a hundred degrees every single day in the summer. I would be dying in the hot car, I’ll be in debt after using too much output of cooler in the house and worse yet, and I’d have hard time fishing for fish that would bother to bite in such burning weather.

Its sixty degrees in December, in Iowa? Oh and Twinkies are going out of business? Yep the world is sure going to end the 21st of December. The people in extreme preppers however are just going way out of their way to live. They make a million dollar house underground to survive under any circumstances that happen on the crust of earth. They make supplies of food and pack them in a giant endless storage unit. They made multiple generators, and they have underground faucet that is extracting from aquifers only few feet under their lengthy underground home. This is just a crazy thing, because what could possibly go much worse than the outdoor weather, the war we have in the east, and Twinkies?

Apparently I have a partial belief in this case, there would be a time soon this upcoming near future where a virus of some sort will kill millions of people and will disrupt our economy. Then there will be a positive feedback loop and we will hit recession again. Only worse this time, because we might not recover this time.

People would be overcrowded and would fight for a grain of bread, just as Thomas Malthus has theorized. It is already happening, I mean look at the price of meat. It is so high, and how would they supply that to everyone on earth? That’s why it’s so high in price, so the demand for that would go down and it’ll be leveled off, even including the substitutes for this specific brand, there is probably tons of other brands just for meat, and they saved them from running out of supplies, because that is a large population we have out there on earth. More is supplied with more firms in meat, which still tries to force the price down on this pricy product, but what if it starts to climb on our inferior good? Then that is where we’re screwed. Now that poor people wouldn’t afford the inferior goods, they’ll start stealing, and they’ll pull the economy down. Not to sound politically scary, but it’s the fact. Guess I’ll have to go out hunting and fishing if I want my own food now. Hopefully the virus doesn’t get in what I eat, because with the bio-magnification in the food chain, I’d be dead already.

Be careful with guns!

Hunting is the best thing out there since fishing. Guns are very useful if you want to get a deer that would always be out of your range when you bow-hunt. However, lots of hunters die by gun related accidents yearly. It’s overlooked, it’s like saying the amount of deer that die being hit by a car is like the amount of hunters getting killed by guns. Of course fishing can’t go any more wrong than getting a hook in your hand. There are many types of guns that have their own special settings. So rule number one, don’t borrow another person’s gun, unless if they are the exact same type as the ones you’re used to. Why? Because the hammer, the cap, the pump, the bullet could be in all different places of the gun, and you would not have a clue what to do other than pull the trigger and shoot.

For me, a traumatic experience I once had was when I had a muzzleloader pointed away from me as I tried to hold the hammer as I pull the trigger so the bullet wouldn’t shoot. Well I had gloves on and with a big bang! The friction got the best of me, so the hammer went all the way to the cap and out goes a metal flinging through the woods at 1,000 ft per second. It could’ve easily gone a mile until it hit something, maybe a hunter, maybe if I was luckier a deer. But it was a serious case, because what if I pointed the gun at myself while taking the cap off. Yep, I’d be screwed. It was a 150 grain of pure recoil that would make your nerves jump.

Of course there goes an explanation why you don’t see very many old rednecks, because they disappear after a few more decades into their lives because of their cocky use of the gun. You don’t have to be a hunter to get guns; anyone can get one, the rule “right to bear arms”. It’s just dumb that people think you need special licensing for a gun, and that they’d think hunters would go insane and raid the city. People need it for self defense, and holy shit! Have you seen a grizzly bear in real life?! You probably haven’t because you live in a city, not Alaska/Canada. Their heads are so massive, and full of muscles, that you’d be in pieces before you could run away. Wolves too, you’d be as big as a deer, and only observed as 200 lbs of meat, just like a deer, and they will pack around you if they’re hungry enough. Deer can run much faster than you, so don’t think you can out-run them. Guns are useful that way!

The only thing I think is ridiculous is a gun that shoots more than 5 rounds per second. Who needs that? That’s overkill for an animal and a waste of bullets, and that is ideal for a large crowd, or war-like equipments, so why do they sell machine guns out there in the market? You obviously know it’s not just for collection, unless if you’re a rich person that will pay thousands just to make it a dust collecting piece in your museum like basement. All I can ask for is careful what you shoot that bullet with, and where that gun aims at.
