Summer plans

I have big plans for the summer. I want to work and pay off a few bills and remodel my house. I have spent a lot of time on school and my other plans were put on the back burner, but now that school is almost out i'm looking forward to getting back to my other hobbies. I'm also looking forward to just doing nothing, like on saturday when I don't have to work, I want to just sleep in and take it easy the whole day. I'm also looking forward to spending time with friends that I haven't seen in ages and catch up with them. I want to spend time with family, namely my grandpa who's getting older as the days go by and strengthen our relationships. Theres a ton of plans I'm making but if I accomplish nothing other than spending time with family and friends I'll be happy.

Newt v.s. Mitt

Its election year here in America and all the candidates running are hard at work. There are sen.Rick Santorum, rep. Ron Paul, former gov. Mitt Romney and former speaker of the House Newt Gingrich. It seems everybody has agreed that the race has come down to Romney and Gingrich, they appear to be the most popular so far, but I say dont get the cart before the horse. There is no telling what could happen in the next few months and all are doing their best to get ahead of the rest. It  amazes me the way that Romney and Gingrich are attacking each other. At first I thought it was funny, then I began to get a little weary of it, and now im sick and tired of it. It is so childish the way they go after the other one's throat trying to get ahead in the polls. First, one spends a million dollars throwing mud on the other one,who in turn rallies by publicly calling the other a lier. They think the only way to win the election is by pulling the sheet off the other and exposing the real person inside....and I agree.

My college life

My first semester in college has been a trip. It has been a whirlwind that has swept me along in a huge cloud of confusion. I didnt even know where my classes were, I had to find somebody to show me where they were. It is a totaly different world than what I was used to, but im finding that it's an exciting change, it can be tough at times but im happy to be here. It has been a breath of fresh air in my life that was quickly growing stagnat from a boring job. I have gotten over my fear of college that I had always held

Life is tough when you lose your stuff

"Mom where is my keys?" Is a question I ask very often to which I get the same reply "they are your keys, not mine!" I close my eyes, trying to contain my frustration. I absolutly hate losing things and it seemes that it happens more and more often these days. I dont know if it just a more hectic life, or my mind is slipping. One thing I do know is that life would be a lot better if I could just find things when I needed them, like keys. and dont get me started on my cell phone, i'm constantly telling other people to call me so I can find it

Roofing Blues

Im pouring in sweat, Im sure im going to die. My chest heaves with effort, I feel like im having a heat stroke. I rip into the shingles once more, nearly stumbling with fatigue, and I think of the irony that this is supposed to be spring break. I had agreed to do this roof over spring break because of money....I needed some very badly. life in college doesn't pay well and my truck likes gas.

The other side of the coin

There is two sides to every story I believe. It just depends on what the facts are. Take an argument between siblings for example, you will usually find that one is wrong and the other is right, however, the facts are usually lost in the heat of red faces and shouting words. It may have started out with one being right, but as it progresses the observer is not so sure, so you must hear both sides to establish the facts. The same goes for politics, one side tries to make the other sound evil and terrible while at the same time make themselves look good and truthful

Gobbling Toms

There is something magical in the sound of a wild turkey. I challenge anybody to experience turkey hunting and not get an adrenline rush. It's inevitable, it goes from boring to exciting as soon as the first tom sounds off, hand began to shake, breath comes in rapid bursts, heart begins to pound every eye begins looking around wondering where he might appear. You have to call in a wild turkey, that means you have to sound like a wild turkey, so you have to practice. by nature when a hen calls the tom will answere letting her know where he is at, but in hunting you must call the tom to you which is against his nature. There is nothing more exciting than to call in a big 'ol boss bird that is gobbling his head off
