It's been a while

I just realized that I have not been on here in forever. So here it goes. While I have been away I killed a really nice ten pointer during the first shotgun deer season. That weekend was pretty much the best weekend ever especially since I killed him Friday night which meant I got to relax and only hunt does for the rest of it and the seasons to come. On this past tuesday I got to see my alum the Steeleville Warriors whip the Sparta Bulldogs so that was good. They should of won by about 30 points but they turned the ball over 30 times and anytime they looked at a sparta player it was a foul. The stupidest thing ever though is that they play sparta tomorrow so they will play them twice in a row which did I mention that's stupid! So this week is the Trico tournament and it should be a good one. Trico looks dominant this year but they're missing two starters so hopefully we will beat them this first time. Christmas is less than a month away which has me pretty stoked. I don't really see the point in thanksgiving besides gaining 10 pounds. Well I'm tired of blogging so have a good one. Oh yeah and I sprained my ankle playing basketball what a joy!

Accents

While I was giving a fun speech today in public speaking I realized how badass accents are. I was giving a pretty convincing british accent when I said bloody hell and I caught myself off guard. I thought I was Ron Weasley for a second and I didn't want to stop using my accent. Since I'm adopted I do not know what my real accent is but I do know that at times I can have a real southern draw. Since I hate my draw I goof around with different accents all the time and think they are pretty fun to try to master. Cajun is probably the best accent I can do as my birth family is part french. So guys the way to a girls heart is definetly calling her Mon Cher which my dear. Just the way the word sounds when you use it in the accent is pretty tight. I also like the british accent but don't we all. The funnest accent by far though is australian. I don't know why but everytime I say mate it sounds australian. Those are really the only accents that are fun to me because the others sound kind of stupid. For those of you who know me this may surprise you a little but I have always wanted to be and actor. I don't seem that way but I have always wanted to try it. I don't want to do that broadway musical crap because that stuff creeps me out. It would be a dream though to be in movies specifically opposite of Megan Fox. Well I'm done ranting so I'll catch ya'll later.

Busy

So I was looking through my calendar and pretty much here through new years is booked. This weekend I have homecoming which is gay because I'm not even in high school but I have to go since I'm retiring king. The only part of that I'm looking forward too is the party after. The next weekend I have a work conference up in northern illinois but it's at a resort so I'm not complaining. The weekend after that is shotgun deer season which is my favorite time of the year. I will be hoping to kill a monster especially the one I've been seeing. The weekend after that is of course Thanksgiving and that means I will be very full. The weekend after that is second deer season which is like the first one but colder. Then after that it's my Moms birthday and I have to figure out something to get her. The week after that is exam week which is completely going to suck but it's life so whatever. Then of course it's Christmas after that and our month long break which I am definetly looking forward to. I've got my texas family coming up and I am ready for snow, christmas trees and presents. New Years means another big party so thats always legit. Well thats my next two months and I hope yall have a good week so later.

Halloween

Well thanks to AMC Fearfest my favorite halloween movie of all time is on. The title is crazy it is called Halloween thats a mind blower isn't it. The movie has the most badass horror movie character of all time in it which is Michael Myers. They have made sequels after sequels of this movie and all of them are pretty good except season of the witch which has nothing to do with Michael Myers so it's completely stupid. The plot to these movies deal with michael myers trying to kill all remaining members of his family. He succeeds in halloween resurrection which is the final installment before the rob zombie remakes. The remakes are decent but they just aren't the same as john carpenters. Halloween isn't the only good horror movie though as I think A Nightmare on Elm Street especially the new one is a good franchise also. Friday the 13th is a decent franchise but a few of the movies are a little silly and they repeat themselves pretty bad. The hellraiser franchise is stupid I think and the SAW's got old after about number 3. Well that's I want to talk about for today so I'm done.

Basketball!

Well midnight madness is over which means pretty soon it's going to be time for Duke to start kicking some ass. The cryolina tar holes will stand about as much of a chance this year as they did last year losing by 32 points hahaha. While Duke lost All-American Jon Scheyer and Brian "Big Z" Zoubek along with Lance Thomas they look very strong this year returning two All-Americans and player of the year candidates Kyle Singler and Nolan Smith. They acquired Kyrie Irving with Coach K's amazing recruitment skills and he should make an immediate impact just like John Wall did for Kentucky last year. They return the massive and very athletic Plumlee Brothers and have one of the best 3 point shooters in the nation with Andre Dawkins. The eligibility of Seth Curry this year will just add more talent as he is Stephen Curry's younger brother and many people say he is better than Stephen. Coach K and the Cameron Crazies will look for another perfect home record in Cameron Indoor Stadium and they along with the rest of Duke Nation will be looking for a repeat of last years National Championship. So to quote the great Dick Vitale I must say, "It's basketball season baby the Dukies are on fiiiire". This year I will look for the plumlees dunks, Singler, Smith ,Curry, and Irvings instant offense, and dukes suffocating defense and lethal three point attack to lead them to yet another national championship.

Ummm

Well there is really nothing really exciting going on this week besides going to the haunted trail with my crew this weekend. Oktoberfest was legit and Johnny Rocked it! I loved being in the middle of about one hundred people right in front of the stage. I was deaf for about four hours after that concert. The food was pretty good but not as good as I remember but I guess that is because of my other activities. This blog is pretty much going to be random from here so hang on for the ride. First off I would like to say congratulations to Bobby Cox on an amazing managerial career you will be missed. Then I would like to say that hunting with your best friend who has never been before can pretty epic especially after running on three hours of sleep after the night of Oktoberfest. I would also like to point out that Arizona Sweet Tea is possibly one of the best things I have ever tasted in my life and three giant cans of it will wake you up. The new guitar hero is pretty sweet and has a lot better selection of music. Finally to keep it random I would like to leave you with my word of the day which is pickleweasel.

OKTOBERFEST!

Well pretty much the only exciting weekend that Steeleville has is coming up this Friday through Saturday night. In case you're wondering yes that is how you spell it, that is just the way they have always spelled it. It's a neat thing especially now because you get to catch up with all of your old buddies. Even the friends that have moved away usually come back for this because it is a Steeleville tradition. They have great food there in case you're wondering stop by the trap shooting booth for pig on a stick or the Christ our savior booth for taco in a bag. Both of those are amazing along with the caramel corn and lemon shake ups. There is always a big crowd especially this year since Johnny Rockitt is playing there. The Oktoberfest also features oppurtunities to have some fun more grown up style as most of the cops are at the party. So raise your cups and tp some old teachers trees because it is officially october.

Redbird Club

So back in June this summer me and my family went to a Gateway Grizzlies game. I don't know why because I'm a Southern Illinois Miners Fan but we went. So at the game they had a raffle and we won two Cardinal tickets. So tonight me and my Dad went to the Cardinal game. I am not a Cardinals fan by any means at all as I love the Yankees but hey free tickets are free tickets. So when we get there we see our tickets are in the redbird club and we ask a worker where thats at and she says its on the 3rd level so I'm like great nose bleed seats. When we get up there we realize that the Redbird Club is actually one of those suite boxes with the caterers and stuff that serve you. The seats were good we were high enough to see the whole game but low enough to read the names on the back of the jersey. The game was pretty much what I expected the Pirates were giving the Cardinals all they could handle because take away Pujols and the pitching duo the talent level is about the same. So my night tonight was watching some major league baseball in amazing 53 degree weather.

I hate September!

I really do not like a thing about September. It is September 20 and it feels like it is still ninety degrees outside. I do not mind hot weather in the summer but when it comes September I am ready for Fall. Nothing happens in September anyways besides football which I went to a school that was too small to have a football team anyways. If deer season started in September in Illinois I would actually like the month. But since it doesn't I get to settle for scouting, setting up trail cams, and clearing shooting lanes around my deer stands. I don't know if I'm the only one who thinks September drags on but it seems like this is the longest month out of all of them. September also means the first month that you basically have to start school work which we all hate. The thing about October which makes September so horrible are these reasons for me. It's the beginning of deer season which is my life. The Yankees will be fighting for a world series title like every year which I like. I'm finally getting used to the whole school routine and can kind of expect what's coming. The weather is finally getting nice come about mid-October. Halloween is October 31 which is always fun because it gives you an excuse to give people a heart attack. So all of these reasons are why I have been listening to Green Day's "Wake Me Up When September Ends."

I love Fall!

Summer is gone finally! I'm going to get one last jet ski session before it gets too cold but then it's time for Fall. There is absolutely nothing wrong with Fall. The trees will be changing colors and the weather will be perfect and cool. There's a bonfire every weekend and it's hoodie weather. But the best part about Fall is that it is finally deer season. Now some of you may not like the idea of hunting so I advise you to stop reading now and read another blog. October 1st will be the first day of bow season and then I will have all the way through mid January to kill a massive white tailed deer buck. I will have my hoyt bow tuned in and ready for action because I do not miss. The third weekend of November will mark the shotgun season. I have a new Remington Slug Gun this year with a complete Realtree camo stock and scope that will allow me to see a deer a mile away. I have new Remington slugs also that look kind of futuristic as the actual bullet part is a glowing green. So any deer that I decide to shoot at will be as good as dead. Then with deer season comes good friends, good food, long days, and great experiences. So I will be in a good mood until January because Fall and more importantly deer season is here.

Back To School

After a very fun weekend it's back to the books and back to the papers. I would gladly trade in my schedule for jet skiing and partying with my friends but you can't receive a degree that way. So I just remember that I must deal with these six years of school and learning and then it's off to the real world where there are jobs, families, and if you do good enough in school possibly free time. But as I've noticed over the years and as many more have noticed there are serious distractions. These distractions are entertaining, fun and mess with my school work. So as I check my facebook and watch Boise State vs. Virginia Tech I'm typing this blog. So I will deal with four more days of school then it's off to the weekend and free time again. But this week is really the first week that there will be work to do at school so I will have to endure it. With the weather getting nicer, deer season coming up, and me itching to get outside every second that I'm in class enduring will get harder by the day. But as I learned in high school while the days drag on the years fly by and will have plenty more weekends to have fun.
