Only in Alaska.......

Ok so at the moment, my face is freezing. I'll tell you why.

Me and my mother had to go down under our house to plug in some heat tapes so our pipes wouldn't freeze. There was a tremendous amount of ice around this one pipe.We were looking all around and this light bulb didn't work so I went to go get another one. Guess what? She locked the door so I had to go out and try to get some keys from my dad house. His door was locked so my dad called one of his friends to help us. My dads in Anchorage. We were standing around and waiting so I looked around and grabbed a wrench and started hitting the ice. There was like 7 inches of ice. I got quite far before my dads friend came over and helped us. He went and got the keys and I kept working at the ice. He got the keys so my mom went into the house and I stayed to help. He hit the ice for awhile with a hammer and we stopped it dripping. So he said he would bring a space heater over tomorrow and thaw it all out. So we all went home........

BUT THEN! My dad called and said that his friend was coming over again and we had to get heat tape cords out of the nearly SEVEN inches of ice. It took quite awhile. But after taking turning of shipping away with a hammer and a chisel, we finally got it.

I bet tomorrow, my arms, my chest and my joints are gonna hurt because we were hitting that ice pretty hard. But I would rather deal with that kind of stress then emotional. I can shovel snow for a couple hours and be fine but I hate emotional stress. Well that's my story for today.

An "Only in Alaska Story" :) I don't mind, makes life exciting

It's awesome when.......

Ok so I was just thinking about this morning and when I was putting on my shirt, I looked at my arms and flexed and thought "I got a nice piece of muscle right there". I thought it was pretty awesome. But I hate when I go through the air port and the two guns on my shoulders get me in trouble :D You see what I did there? If not then I really hate when I walk through a metal detector and my abs of steel set it off.

So yea, I thought all of that was pretty awesome. Well on Friday in b-ball practice, we did lunges and leg throws and Saturday and Sunday, I was super sore. It really hurt a lot. But today, I'm not sore so thankfully practice won't kill me.

Last night, I played The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword for a little over four hours. I actually got pretty far in it. Its awesome.

I've noticed I say a lot of random things on my blog :-/ Hmm well I don't think thats going to change anytime soon haha. Ok well that is it for now :D

B-ball practice and terrorists

Ok, so we have finally started basketball practice at my school. You know how that people say that when you work hard, you should sleep well at night? It's never really been like that for me. I was the only one at practice yesterday and there was a lot of running. I also didn't sleep very well last night.

But anyways, I've been having odd dreams lately. Like I had a dream last night about playing a video game that I was thinking about playing but haven't in awhile. I did have some other dreams but I don't remember them.

Anyways, lately I've been wanting to get some throwing knifes and I've found some nice ones on Amazon but since I spent all my money, I'm gonna have to wait and I don't even think my mom would let me get them. Maybe one day. Haha

Did you see that Wikipedia blacked out for 24 hours yesterday? That kinda sucked because when I was trying to look up stuff, it wouldn't let me but I see the point they are getting at. Websites like Wikipedia and Reddit wouldn't exist. We wouldn't have search engines because they wouldn't be allowed to link websites. The NDAA for 2012, would allow the government to detain someone under the suspicion that they are a terrorist. I would like someone to tell me the definition of "terrorist". It is a very loose term. I heard that it was someone who committed acts of terror against this country. But wouldn't the people putting this in place, be terrorists then? It scares me, it scares my teacher. You confused? So am I

A book that this all reminded me of was a battle book called Little Brother by Cory Doctorow. Its a pretty good book, I know I've talked about it before but i thought it would be a good time to bring it up again. Its one of my favorite books now. It was really good and yea.

I am personally scared for our country. But for the people not living in this country but reading my blog, our country can be great, its just that people........well there are lots of people with lots of money and they want power, so yea.

Well I think I am going to work on my book some more and work on school work.

RAWR!!!!

No, I did not just say that I loved in you in dino language, I said RAWR!!!! So there.

But other then that, you know how when you put on a full suit of something big, some where that you normally have a hard time scratching, starts to itch. Like with my new PURPLE Carhartts (Yes they come in other colors besides black and brown), It seems like every time I have to be in them for a few hours, my back starts to itch and I can't get to it. Its really annoying.

You know what I did yesterday? I took and shot my new bow for the first time? Did I hit my target? Yes, once. But the thing is that I lost two of my arrows and so my project for today is to go and to find them. I should be able to but if not, then I will be very sad. I think I will get the help of my funcle cause I really don't want to lose any more arrows.

Ok, you guys remember how I started a book? Well I havn't told you guys about it in awhile and I thought I would. At the moment, I have 15,624 words. That will soon change because I like to work on it but thats how many I have. I sent it to one of my best friends and he said he would look over it sometime and tell me what he thought. Best friends are awesome.

You know, to tell you the truth, I am getting a little tired of school.  Sometimes its just really boring. Sure I have the motivation to do things like write papers and try to work on my math when I'm there but sometimes I just wish I could sit in a little quite room and do alone. I get a lot done when I can but I dont know. I take what I can get which is a very noisy room most of the day :-/ But other then that, I am going to take my ACT in February, so next month. I'm not sure how I will do, I really hope I get a good score because that means I wouldn't have to take it again. (sigh)

I think I am going to put different pages in my blog like a contact me page and stuff like that because I think its a good idea and I might even get more emails, haha. One of my friends has pages like that and I think its pretty cool. So once I figure out how to do that, I will probably put up my email addresses and see if anyone wants to talk to me or something haha. Meeting new people is always fun if they're not like a creeper stalker.

Well I think I'm done ranting to you people for today, I'm not sure why you choose to listen to it and follow my blog but I am happy that you do :) So until I feel the need to rant again, I will be doing whatever I need to do and stuff like that

School

Ok well school is getting ready to start here. Bleh I know. But I did get my target in and now I just need to find a place to put it and by the time I go to the AA meet/prom, I will be really good. :D I really hope one day I could go hunting with a bow or maybe even bow fishing.

Well I've been thinking a lot about NYO this year. I will tell you right now, I will make it to state for the wrist carry. I'm not sure who will be my carriers but I will figure that out. Some of you might not know what that is and I am too lazy to explain so if you search on Google, you could probably find a set of instructions on the different NYO challenges.

(Sigh) Life sometimes. Ya know? I won't get into details but sometimes its really annoying. Well not life but the people in it.

Hmm well I think thats about it for now again. :)

:D

(Sigh) Something I really hate about living in a village is that there are almost no ways that I could make money.  Sure, I can fish in the summer but I don't get to touch any of that money. It goes into savings. Yes, I know, its a good thing but I would like something to spend!

I did not get a PS3 for Christmas. I didn't mind, but I still would like to get one. But I am about 40 bucks short.  and guess what? I can't make any money! I'm gonna try and sell stuff on amazon but its super complicated and I still have to pay for shipping and what not. I'm not sure what to do -__- but I'll figure it out sometime.

Well my funcle adjusted my compound bow for me. My mom ordered me a target which SHOULD be here in a week or two. But who knows? I have learned to wait a long time for mail until getting worried bout it. So yea. Me and my funcle are both pretty excited for my target, I think he is because he dont got one :D So yea.

Well....idk what else to say so I wont!
