Music is the Jam

I have been listening to music for a long time now. Just because you can’t hear very well doesn’t mean you’d dislike music, it’s something I really like. I listen to all kinds of music, it’ll boost my mood, it’s just something hard to imagine without. They’re played at your most important moments, the weddings, during a trip to honeymoons, homecoming, prom, and many parties. It’s something that is a phenomenon in us.

We seem to be the only thing on earth that could make complex music and still enjoy it. Some artists have very well written songs and are underrated, and others have nothing but sex and all of the drugs and they’re overrated musicians. It just doesn’t make sense in that case, because some songs are really good, maybe they just haven’t played it out in mainstream yet, cause if they’re written out in records, then they could be really famous, or at least to me.

Some good artists I would say would be Maroon 5, and well you get Pitbull too, and Calvin Harris has some good songs up to tune. Then for the female artists I would say Christina Aguilera, Taylor Swift, and other ethical singers. It appears that ethical artists are someone who doesn’t cuss in every note, talk dirt, and degrading. Most of the unethical artists would be Tyga, Waka Flocka, and other disrespecting songs towards individuals. I still love their music, but it’s just not right to see them sending a secret message that every music lover is blind towards.

I think the smartest/creative singers behind every song would be Adam Levine, and Kanye West, they have more than just messages in their songs. It’s some form of hypnotizing beats and they hold something more than messages. Lots of people who think of this would call it illuminati, it’s just a very stupid excuse, I would say they’re just really talented in making their songs a hit, with a message.

Million dollar homes

I see some ridiculous homes that are for hundred million dollars. Here, I’m talking about nicer, real homes that are out there with million dollars’ worth of value, maybe even more. This is what everyone would call the American dream home, we all know as the price of the house goes up, the value of it goes up, because the price is high for a reason. Values are based on property, the atmosphere, a hundred grand of a house is worth more than the other hundred grand of a house that is located in a high traffic, messed up people “criminal-wise”, and how often the natural disasters come in the place.

I’m looking at a borealis themed home. I want a home where it is located by vast boundaries of lakes and in a neatly civilized town within few miles away. I need fishing and hunting to be a really good place to be. I don’t want to be at a place where white-tail deer are as hard to find as finding a Sasquatch, and where fishing is slow almost every day.

Some places up in Minnesota have some nice homes by St. Paul, Minneapolis, and Rochester. These homes are worth a lot of money, here are some listed, just see for yourself in these images. They’re definitely more than 3000 square feet of room.

There are so many more, just not for sale, or their just hidden from certain sites for security reasons, I mean look at how many people can look up million dollar homes and their locations, just to vandalize it perhaps. I can see why some people would vandalize it, because they may be only able to work on a job that is minimum wage, and maybe in their 80th year without spending a penny, they’d maybe be able to afford the house now. So it’s kind of obvious that they’d be pissed working really hard for something that they couldn’t get from inheritance, from a better salary job, from any other things like that.

My dream of all dream homes would never be found, because the combination of the atomosphere must be perfect, which never happens. My other option is to keep a really nice lodge, with federal cover, because i'll actually work as a comissioned resort owner, so I could have less property taxes as I have guests come over to visit the smaller cabins in the resort, as I invest in a larger lodge.

Going chrome, not google chrome, car chrome

I’ve planned on getting a chrome makeover for my pickup truck, because it is eye appealing for me and other car lovers. I need to get gas door chrome first. First priority, it’s only forty dollars to make the truck look like it’s worth a thousand dollars more! People either don’t know how to install it, or they think it only comes with the stock that the cars are sold as.

I also need chrome tailgate doors, truck door handles, bumpers, and chrome sidings. Then I could sell my good conditioned 9000 dollar truck for 11 plus thousand dollars. With its deceiving looks, most young buyers will pay attention to the railings of the truck, the step-ups of the truck, and the torque of the brand the truck has over the mileage it has.

If you’re interested in “pimping up your car” go look at www.carid.com, then look up your car brands and year with its make, then it’ll give you many options for what your car should have. I could also get push bars, chrome flappers on the back tires, and chrome exhaust. The only problem is, it’s as is price, no negotiations, so you could be putting more money in the car then it’s with in stock.

You could even put gull wings in your normal escort; it’ll be like a Lamborghini themed car. So sell your thousand dollar car for potentially five figure money. The only thing you need is to have the talent as a car artist, know what you need to get in a combination to get others to be your customers.

These side mirrors can also be eye catching, you can put pulse plugs into your side mirrors, so from the front view, it’ll look like one of those fancy sports car cruising through the night. Even put led lights on the bottom of the car, so it’ll make the glowing color on the road of the color that the led light has. Not many people are comfortable for access to these things, and most of them who do get these are teens, and you’ll be more than likely sell this car overpriced by a teen that wants to get a “cool car”.

Suspension systems aren’t that pricey, it is only pricey for the installation, if you can figure out how to, you can make your truck taller, and then there would be a reason to put chrome “step on” for your door. It’s all about living the high life for car lovers. Just make sure your car doesn’t look like a weirdo goofy monster truck that could burn lots of gas.

When you get older, and you have plenty of money that you don’t know what to spend it on, then look for nice things to add for your car, if you think your car looks cheap, don’t buy a fancier one, just keep working on your old one, you can sell it for more, and still save money for not spending more for a nicer car.

More proof of Bigfoot

It amazes me how there is only 6,000 views on YouTube for this very revealing video. Perhaps this video is just too good to be true in this case. You may think it’s a human in a suit, but look at the forehead. It is taller, in a skull structure; you’ll see that a forehead of a human is a lot shorter, short distance between the eyes and the top of the head. This beast has a torso just as the famous well known Bigfoot video. Where it just simply makes a walk away and looks back at the camera as it leaves into the thick forest. The muscles especially, when you zoom in the camera shot, I would assume the lens can only take approximately 200 ft. for a clear image of a human sized object. The muscles and tendons look well-coordinated and defined. We don’t know how far the lenses really go and how it is scaled in this 200 feet range, even the person whom uploaded this video doesn’t know, because he had it as a mail from some of his friends who was unheard of again. The ending of the film had a burnout in the camera, so it could be true that the film burned out as you see the slow burning motion in the camera.

www.youtube.com/watch?v=7QtEqhMM2kw

It looks just right there, the only thing I may claim is that it is green screened, because when you turn the camera around, that tree seemed to stay there, somehow tagging along with the background. Like a paper, where you’d basically rotate the paper and the image revolves with it. There are many more videos; you can keep looking them up days on end. It’s just all up to you to believe it or not. Most of these events are taken in the west coast, according to the videos I’ve researched, mostly Washington and Oregon. It’s not like people are being famous for it, it’s just the video that is being famous for the public information.

There is a sense in every one of us, wanting to believe that these creatures exist. I want to believe that there is a sasquatch out there in the tremendous forest just minding his own business and never seen a man in his life as he turns into a really old man. It’s like saying that a fish has never seen a lure, or a whitetail deer that has never been spooked by a hunter, it’s that sort of thing that gets in my mind.

Some believers claim that the Bigfoot is our past ancestors, where we were tall hairy, and bulky. Now it’s the future that we witness too, the aliens, shorter, smart, and brittle looking and it’s the phantom in evolution that we may be just hallucinating.

Bigfoot, hoax? Bigfoot, real?

I’ve seen so many videos of Bigfoot, even through the animal planet shows, “Finding Sasquatch”. These creatures are described as primitive descendants of humans, standing at eight foot or more with massive bulk. These creatures are not solidly proven to exist, yet the government enforced a law that it is illegal to kill a Bigfoot if it is witnessed. So here brings a video of a camper in a tent recording what could be one of the best evidence of the Sasquatch, be warned, it’s really graphic, this is serious matter. If you don’t believe it after watching the video then keep watching the 4:30 clip over and over to focus on the tendons on his neck moving best piece of evidence I can find.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nZ_lbVCVd48

See how the lats move on his body, no way these contracting muscles could be attached to a costume so well, unless if it was computer animated. But here is the thing, they were behind the tent, and the screen disabled the animation of green screens, so there is no possible way to edit this video. This video consists of diagraphs of the human body, and how humans cannot imitate this beast.

They claim that our superior position traps, the muscles around our neck has diminished really quickly over human evolution, but this video shows that the Sasquatch has HUGE traps. No way can a human being grow it to be that big. Mine is relatively huge, but it’s nothing compared to this strong eight foot tall beast.

These creatures can exist, because they have lots of hair, and fat tissues to survive relatively cold weather, mostly in the west coasts, so that tells us that these creatures can depend on the warm ocean currents from the west coast.

I want to find out if they really do exist, if I ever live in the west, I wouldn't devote my whole life to look for them, but if I do see one, I will shoot him/her with a sleeping dart, and tie it up with ratchets to my truck, and the creature will be safe, and a living proof of their existence. I would let the creature go, but I know they’ll pay billions for these creatures to be displayed in perhaps the majestic zoos, or perhaps pay more than billions for their hides. I don’t think its right, because they are biologically related to humans; it’s basically us modern human beings being amused by our past ancestors.

They say, if you hear coyotes holler after you make a “Bigfoot Call” they are present. Just more active in the dark, where you cannot detect them as well, because they were adapted that way.

Re: Mis-representation

Katie Couric, the first female main-stream reporter who had been claimed to wearing revealing clothes during her reporting hours. According to the video we watched in class, she said, "Now every female news reporters are wearing revealing clothes, for the competition that is there". So why did she wear these revealing clothes? To get famous? Is she putting a stereotype among men too? By means, guys will watch t.v that involves a hot girl, which is a stereotype that I assume she had suggested.

So why did she do it in the first place? During the interview, in which the girls try to defend what their gender roles ought to be, she was just left there stuttering. It's not like it's a coincidence she is wearing uncomfortable revealing clothes.

Well here's something, she's wrong about being the first famous female reporter. The previous female reporter, whom Katie had replaced, was named Jane Pauly. Jane Pauly, through the images I've searched through, has never worn as revealing outfit as Katie, and claimed she was kicked out only because Katie was younger, and more attractive. As for Jane was an older lady, and Ms. Norville had that claim and was a critic of Katie. However, Katie Couric still got the job, because the NBC had hired her, and who knows, nbc may have hired her, assuming that she'll help the coropration get more views due to her attractiveness.

href="http://topics.nytimes.com/top/reference/timestopics/people/c/katie_couric/index.html">

She had started out as the desk assistant of the ABC news, and she claimed that she had to work her way up to be the main-stream reporter. Nice, but how did she work her way up? Why isn't the NBC not giving us an answer why she was hired? A specific one, instead of, well she's a "hard worker", becasue "hard working" is obviously going to be on everyones resumes. I guess her way of "working her way up" was to dress revealing clothes, just so she can get more views based on her looks and not how interesting her reports are. She may have thought it was the only way to get famous, because the men will not hire women if they're ugly and have a really good reporting skills, because the viewers don't want to veiw someone that will scare them away, especially when the t.v is in H.D. So I assume she didn't "start" the revealing, sexy, female news reporter competition, because she wanted to get the job she had the passion for, but with only one way to get it. Every female reporter today may have taken this idea to get their desired job.

href="http://www.mediaite.com/tv/katie-couric-joins-abc-news-her-best-days-biggest-scoops-and-most-powerful-journalism-lie-directly-ahead/">

Ben said, "Her utility is the play here". Is that a mis-use of a diction? Or is he telling the honest truth through his teeth? Could this be the truth, the truth of why she was hired, and promoted to a first ever "main-stream" female reporter?

Misrepresentation

I understand that some girls fall into the category of wanting to look like the models through media, but most of them don’t. How can we really know that 78% of the girls 17 and over are not happy with their body? Wouldn’t they keep it to themselves, besides the statistics show that obesity rate is going up, why are they going up? I thought they were going down because the girls wanted to be anorexic. Obesity doesn’t only apply to men, but women as well.

Look at all of these weight loss programs out there, not only to get from normal to anorexic, but to get from really obese to normal. Americans spend billions of dollars on weight loss products annually.

This shows all of the statistics and it's from a very reliable source, almost necessity, the PDF files. For those familiar with the files it is never wrong.

I wouldn't say it is mostly through media, it is somewhat, but it is mostly from the people in school. When there is what ought to be the perfect body of a girl, the guys will go chasing after them. The other girls will see that, and they will pressure themselves into transforming themselves into that one perfect girl. It's not like famous people will do some sort of stupid thing on their music video that will spread to everyone in high school, because people will think the others are dumb for miming the stupid moves for example. It's the leadership that represents the people's actions. Let’s say that all the guys are chasing after this one girl, because she does lots of sports, I don't know, but that'll put pressure into other girls wanting to be in sports, just so the guys can go after them as well.

That is what I would see society as, someone who would follow one another, as for they just keep on showing off their role. Like celebrities having fancy cars and hot guys/girls, then the other people will wish to be wealthy and well known like them.

Girls show their emotions and thoughts more. Guys don’t, that is a fact, but we sort of have the same feelings. Such sayings would be an over rated athlete that guys will hate them in the inside. Some guys will try to get into a fight to prove that they’re the boss, and that he doesn’t deserve to be under rated. There are different ways of appeals, but seeing is believing, if I never seen that many anorexic girls in my life in the making, then I would believe that the girls are really trying to look skinny. I don’t see much of that here, and I’m glad.

Weightlifting should be a school sport

It’ll motivate people more to get into the fitness side of life. If someone is better than you at another school, you can always beat them, and keep practicing. They should have heaviest weight contest, and pound for pound contest. I think that it should be a winter season sport, since we can’t get outside much in this kind of weather, but we can focus on ourselves and our condition. I think that pound for pound is a lot more important, because it really determines your strength. So to speak, if you were that same guy but 200 pounds instead of what you normally weigh, you can out lift more than that “big guy” if ratio was the case. So at Kennedy, if I can hang clean 1.7 times the body weight, and it’s not on the record, well that just makes me underrated athlete. The record is 325 pounds, and if I was 210 pounds like that guy whom set the record, well I would get almost 360 pounds! Just imagine crazy scenarios like that.

I believe that if you get medals, and attention, there will be more people in the sport. Look at cross country population, less than 30, and we work hard, running ten miles a day isn’t an easy task, and on the other side, football players. They’re working just as hard, or not as hard if they only hustle, and they get many attention, because the style of the game is great, in result of that, they have almost 150 guys in high school playing football. That’s more than quadruple.

To make the game more fair, they should have age, body weight, and gender in different groups. So that way they can really measure your mental strength in the process, which is what separates the winners. Let’s just say we are weight-lifting for reps, there will obviously be people doing more than others, even if they have a same max outs.

Basically to this sport, it would be fun to be in, but for parents watching, it can be nerve wrecking. There are many combinations to make the competition more fair, and interesting. Maybe pull-ups, inverted pull-ups, pushups, and many other non-weights can be in the game too. Just to see who has the mental strength, and for sure after the contest we’ll all be sore, but hey, pain is gain, we’ll get better after more contests. We should structure it in a way where we depend on our team too, not individual competition. Unless if you’re going to state, if this thing can be a sport, in Olympics it is, so why not?

Relationships

I have never been in a real relationship. I’m glad though, because I hear drama from other people, and all of the people who want to cause drama and make them break up. There is lots of bickering that happens that I don’t want to be in a middle of.

I’m glad that I can actually save money, and not go out spending money; I do that sometimes, but not every weekend. I go out to hang out with my friends, and mess around as energy drinks, which are only a dollar, boost our happiness. Why pay so much to try to impress your mate, when you can have more fun hanging out with your friends.

It’s stupid to see guys cheating on girls, and using this concept wrongly, saying oh its just fun being with friends, and she’s my friend. A lot of guys I know of use girls as their friends of benefits, and it just annoys girls, and I agree with the girls only on this instance. Usually girls misinterpret many things, and we just don’t see why they’re so offended.

This would be an example of when drama may start to happen, and it’s scary because it happens to anyone, even if they’re in a really committed relationship. When girls say I’m fine, it’s a series of many things that is going wrong, and they need help, they want you to help and all that. When guys say I’m fine, he’s fine. When girls say you don’t have to get me anything, they want you to get neat things for her, so she could appreciate how you don’t value her selfishness, and she wants to test you and see if you ‘d actually do it. When guys say they don’t need anything, he doesn’t need anything.

So there you go, the complexity of relationships lies upon girls, and sometimes guys, but either way, it always had to be someone’s fault in the relationship. It’s never my fault though, because I was never in one.

Girls are still like guys in a way, they can still cheat on their husbands, and it’s not new. People use their excuse as, the world isn’t perfect, therefore I’m not perfect, and that entire BS. They can handle their temptations, and why risk over a committed relationship for someone else? Again, if I never been in a real one, I don’t have to worry about that.

Why so Opposite?

Does my brother just want to be the opposite of me? Or is he just interested in show choir, speech, movies, and plays while I hunt, fish, weightlift, participate in many sports, and so forth. Some brothers are different, like ours, but I know of others that are almost identical. They would do the same things, same hobbies, and same preferences.

I have a feeling that people just don’t want to be similar to someone who they just see every day in their same house, in the same school, with the same last names. They want to be a leadership of something different in their family, otherwise they’d be compared as “the greater brother”, if both of them do weightlifting, and one does much better, then what does the lesser brother represent in their family?

However, I think it may be a coincidence that my brother really loves movies, plays, and acting, and chose to be that way. He didn’t want to be the opposite; it’s just the way he lives. We’re best friends somehow. We’ll have same opinions, but not over our hobbies, but the way we interact with other people. We’d talk just to talk, and sometimes, but rarely, I’d go to movies, or show choir concerts, and then chat with him about other non-related stuff, and the opposite goes the same, he’d fish, but not entirely, and he’d talk about anything as we sit on the boat, not where we think the fish would be.

We have four siblings, and coincidentally enough, my sister is in D.C, the east coast, starting her own small business, and my younger brother wants to be a movie star, and go to California, the west coast, while I want to be a resort owner up in Minnesota, and my older brother wants to go south where he can enjoy warm weather year round. So we’re basically splitting in all four directions, far far far far away from one another. I want to hold family reunions maybe more than five times a year, where I can close the resort, so all of the friends, families, and families friends can come over to my resort and have our “family get-away”.

I think Iowa is a beautiful place though; maybe all four siblings might as well be stuck in the cornfields. My sister is considering moving back to Ames, and I might not be financially ready for the job, and my older brother may find a better paying job. My brother will have to find a theater related job in Iowa, maybe a Wherenberg corporate manager. So here we are, with completely different personalities, in the same state.

Classmates, let's discuss this further!

Alright, so joining in the group about the gender differences, I brought up the word “weightlifting”, and guess what? All of you gals got so defensive; I didn’t even bring up the purpose! Anyways, hypocritically, I was going to say that girls have bigger barriers in weights than guys, it’s the fact. I always see guys being more competitive, it’s something that has tagged along with us in evolution.

For example, you see other animals, like the two beetles, both males that fight for the female, why not two females fighting for the male? Well it’s the gender it involves right? There is a great correlation that the odds of seeing two girls catfight over a hopeless guy is almost zero. They would use voices over another, but never throw fists or pull hairs from another in front of everyone. Have you seen a real catfight? Maybe in the movies only, because I never had.

There is also another thing I see in gals, they always eat at a small quantity, they don’t scarf down the food like us guys do. If girls say they’re so hungry, it probably means they’re eating rice krispies, couple granola bars, and ACTIVIA yogurts and call themselves “food monsters”. The real food monsters are guys, I have some friends from Xavier that ate 20 plus slices of pizza EACH. Girls? Do you want to challenge that?

I never witnessed a girl hunting and fishing like it was nobody’s business. Usually they are with guys that have all the experience. For me, I fish, hunt, and would invest lots of money and time for these “masculine activities”. It’s a phenomenon in the evolution, where guys would hunt, and the more they enjoy it, the more time they’re out there to gather food for the family. Survival of the fittest, if a guy doesn’t love to hunt, who’s going to shoot the deer? They take care of all the “dirty work” mostly, and derive the enjoyment out of it more than girls do. The girls can do “dirty work”, but they’ll be disgusted by it more. I mean look at the girl’s reaction when they see snakes, they squeal and run away, while the guys are interested in it and run after it. Look at minnows flopping on the land; are you going to pick it up? The guys have no problem, unless if they have “man problems”. Girls will freak out and say gross!

Am I not right? Comment below if you want to argue.

Belvadeer Review

At Belvadeer lake, was an odd day to fish. Half the fish in the image were caught the first five minutes, the other half in the next three hours. It was an odd steep decline, I thought we’d catch hundreds in this very day, but we only ended up with few, but really nice fish. Belvadeer is very well known for its huge bluegills and crappies produced there. A friend of ours fished there at midnight, after a late shift at work, and caught approximately 20 giant crappies, and a two pound bullhead, which a two pound bullhead is something you don’t see every day. Bullheads are closely related to flatheads, and in the winter flatheads hibernate and huddle in a giant group to do nothing but face the current. However, surprisingly enough, that friend of ours caught a bullhead during ice fishing season, which makes that two pounder special.

If you plan on going to this what I call this the underwater forest, I would go super early, maybe not even sleep, otherwise you’d be in that drowsy trance. It’s important to be alert, and watch that tiny spring bobber move, and then you’ll get your fish that took the lure slowly. The fish are slow during the ice season; it’s just the normal way of life. If you’re fortunate enough, you might come across some two pound crappies, or better, your possession limit of bluegills all over ten inches. The water is very clear, and if you fish eight to nine feet, you can see the bottom, but the fish prefer the 15-18 feet range. It is just solid ten inches of ice up to this day, and no snow, so it is a frictionless floor, it’ll be hard to drill the auger, because you’ll have no grip on the ground, especially hauling your ice fishing tent.

If you don’t ice fish, well that’s too bad. You should, because if there are ATV’s and big guys walking out there, so can you, it’s not like you’re going to join the polar bear club. It takes a lot to even break 4 inches of ice, think of it as you’re throwing a rock on it, jumping on it, and try to break the ice without an auger, let’s see how you can finish it. That’s how confident I am that you’ll be safe on ice. I was nervous at first, but all the mistakes happened during early winter and late winter, when the warm climate comes in. Not because the ice melts, but the warm water underneath shortens the thickness of the ice. Almost all of the deaths occurred when there were fast currents underneath, and kept the water warm where they weren’t aware of.

Oh and the crappies were tasty!

Angler Fish

How do these people make the unique fish so interesting? They make it seem funnier than the reality is. The angler fish can gulp their prey like it’s nothing. They also come in all kinds of sizes, shapes, and colors. I would love to have one for Christmas! That would be considered my favorite salt water fish. My favorite freshwater fish to keep in an aquarium would be a snakehead, because they’re so aggressive and they would guzzle down minnows, goldfish, and so many live fish, they’re only free if you catch them or you can buy them for only three dollars a dozen just to feed them.

The angler fish are worth hundreds, and the snakeheads are illegal however in America only. It’s only because people them go in the wild and they start becoming invasive. I just need these snakeheads for special purpose only, like guns, I want to be the few trusted people permitted to keep them. They can be very large, and even more aggressive, I just want to have lots of fish in a nice tank along with other pets like huskies, Alaskan mammels, not mammals, but a different form of a dog, usually a wolf hybrid, and lots of westie terriers.

Pets define a person greatly, I mean look at the meaning “crazy cat ladies”. These aggressive fish define me as a fisherman who likes to go after really aggressive fish like muskies, pikes, and walleyes. Huskies define me as the “social dog that would make a lot of noise”, and that is a comparison to “cranky cats, as to cranky old ladies”. I would love to live up in the north, and that is just like the huskies, they’re northern creatures that would enjoy snow, enjoy the borealis themed nature.

But here is the viral video on YouTube that started my idea on this blog post.

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.
