Storm Chasing

Weather has always been something that has intrests me. When I was young I would ride my bike up to our farm and go to the top of the hill to watch storms roll in during spring time. I would sit there and watch the clouds swirl, birds gliding in the strong wind, and trees bending over from the raw power of the wind. I would stay there until I was either rained out or lightning was to close for comfort. I would then go home and stand in the breeze way that connects my house to my grandmas house and watch the storm as it passed by. All during this time I would be pretending to be a storm chaser. Storm chasing was something I have always wanted to do ever since I can remember. Even when I was young I would try to predict weather based on the formation of clouds.I even wanted to go to college for meteorology, but didn't because I didn't want to travel to far from home to attend one of the few colleges that offer it. I have always told myself that one day I will act upon my dream, and I have. I should be attended a weather spotting class on March 11 in South Carthage, TN to become an offical weather spotter. I had previously wanted to do this last year but I missed the deadline for the classes so I had to wait till now. I am so excited to finally start acting upon my dream.

People may think I am crazy for wanting to do this but the thrill of the chase outways the risks. I know I could be killed but I will be taking further classes on weather to make sure I have the knowledge to keep myself safe. An added benifit to all this is that I will be able to keep my friends and family safe from storms.

Love for Animals

Owning pets has been proven to increase life expectancy among people, over those do not own any animals; and I can see why this is true. Animals require a certain amount of care and love to be healthy happy pets. I have always loved animals imparticular dogs, fish, or any wildlife animal ( deer, turkeys, doves). Yesterday my girlfriend and I bought four new fish to put in our new ten gallon tank and we are so happy with them. We love to try and find really cool fish that are bright colors, but we also like the classics too. Two of the fish we got are light blue and depending on the way the light hits them they can be green. The other two are a type of tetra, a sunset tetra and a spotted tetra. In about a week we are going back to get a couple of small bottom feeders to complete the tank. Overall I am really happy with the fish so far and they seem to be healthy and happy

My point in saying all this is that I am excitied to have fish again and I would encourge anybody to get fish or whatever animal you like.

By the way leave a comment of your favorite animal or maybe a childhood pet you had.
Peace out

Morning

It early morning again. I am about to get up, get dressed and go to school. Engineering prog at eight, then Chemistry at nine, Math at twelve, and last but not least Engineering prog lab. Oh and working in the library from 11-12. Great day right. Well it isn't so bad it's just that the day will seem like it will drag on forever. What gets me up in the early mornings ,like this, is the hope of becoming an engineer one day and I know I will. It will take hard work and determination but I am ready for the challenge. As a freshman I already spend many hours studying but I know it will pay off in the end. Peace out.

Have Fun

Have fun in life. If you constantly worry about things that you have no control over they will start to affect the things you do and the way you act. Life is to short to worry about junk that doesn't matter. Yes, true finacial matters and other things should have some significant thought into, but really what someone did and didn't do for you at christmas really doesn't matter. Some people need to get over the little things instead of nit picking every little thing until they end up hurting the people around them. I am sure it is like this for most families including mine. There is always that one signifigant person that constantly complains about what someone did to them, to other people, or they just forgot to do for them a favor. That drives me crazy! I just want to have a good time with family and friends, and personally, I could care less if we give gifts.
My point is, don't spend your whole life sitting on the sidelines worrying about the things in life that do not matter. Go out with friends, visit family, and just have a good time.

Success

Success is what most people strive to obtain. However, what one person considers to be THE LIFE may seem like nothing to someone else. So the question is raised, what are the fruits of success? Is it having millions of dollars, cars, clothes, and whatever else you might want or is it having a good quality relationship with friends and family and living in a modest home, having what you need but nothing to frivolous?
Would you cheat everyone that you know to life that glamorous lifestyle that so many of use desire or would you help people in need and treat people with the upmost respect?
I'm not sure what the answer is for you but for me a life with family, friends, and that special someone is worth more to me than money. I would rather work hard and be smart to obtain goals, and treasure the relationships I gain along the way.
