ZOMBIES!!!!

Zombies, it's time to face the fact that they might actually be real and are starting to attack. Everyone's heard of the guy on bath salts eating another guy's face off.(eeuugghh) I think it's time we start preparing, and even if it doesn't happen or you don't believe in them, preparing could still be something cool to do in your spare time.

The first thing that needs to be considered when surviving and battling the undead, is firepower. Guns, crossbows, bats, guns, axes, chainsaws and more guns are all necessary when taking down these walking corpses. You want to be stocked up on every weapon you can think of that can help defeat the zombie hordes.

You also might want to learn a little first aid, it could save your, and someone else's, life. You never know, you might get bitten and have to remove the infected area or make a splint if you fall and hurt yourself. There will be no doctors to do this still for you in a world overthrown by zombies.

You may also want to get in shape. People don't like to admit it but we have really let ourselves go, we Americans are the fastest country in all the world. The other countries laugh at us we are so out of shape. But if we expect ourselves to survive at all, we need to drop some pounds and gain some muscle. Running and cross country are a great way to shed enough pounds to outrun the undead, and this P90X program is great for gain the muscle needed to hack away at rotting flesh.

There's more stuff to know, but I'll tell you that later. But for now...

Cross Country

I am starting to love this sport. My school started this cross country program like just a year or two ago and I think it has made a good start. I was a bit skeptical about joining at first for two reasons: 1 I'm slow, and I mean extremely slow. My pet turtle ran away I am so slow. People say it must run in my family, but no one runs in my family. And 2 I'm out of shape. I'm one of those kinds of out of shape people that you can't even make fun of. I'm that bad.

But, my friend persuaded me to tryout, and, by some miracle, I actually made it. And I'm glad I did. Since then I've been following their training schedule over the summer and have been seeing unbelievable improvements on more than my speed, but also my everyday life.

At the beginning of my training, I weighed 250 lbs. and lost my breath walking to the bathroom. Now, I'm in my second month of training and I've already lost 50 lbs. and am almost twice as fast as I used to be. This sport is amazing!! If you just do what your coaches tell you, the pounds melt off and your whole life will improved tremendously!

it's definitely something worth looking into. Well, that's all for now.

Farts

Farts, they are a natural part of life. Everyone does them (except chicks, they NEVER fart). I don't see why people freak out when they hear one. It's no big deal.

There are a few different kinds of farts: the loud and proud, the silent but deadly, and the shart.

The Loud and Proud: These are the really loud farts you would hear in class or at the office or any place that is really silent, just waiting to be interrupted. These fart are normally very loud, but have no real smell. An embarrassingly, funny relief that comes at the worst of times.

The Silent, but Deadly: These farts are the ones that mysteriously slip out of the butt crack like smelly ninjas and stink up a whole room in a matter of seconds. These type of farts usually occur in an included space with a lot of other people, such as an elevator.

The Shart: These are probably the worst kind of fart. This is when a person farts so hard that they crap their pants at the same time. This is the reason why it is recommend to not attempt to force a fart. If you shart your pants in a public area, you're screwed.

There are a few other kinds of farts that I do not wish to mention because they are just to vulgar and might end up in people sharting their pants from laughing so hard. Well, that's all for now.

Artist Reborn

I am really starting to get back into drawing. I quit for a while because I just had no time for it, but this summer is the perfect time to start back. I am beginning to draw anime characters more now. Anime and manga have always been a cool and unique drawing style in which I hope to master.

I'll probably upload some of my better pics when I get them drawn. Hopefully they won't be too horrible. Anyways, I'll keep you updated.

Growing Up

You know, at my age(14), I should be excited about growing up. I'll be driving soon, I'm taken more seriously, I'm getting stronger, smarter, and things just make more sense to me now. But, I feel almost the exact opposite. I feel that it's only the stuff that comes along with growing up that people life, but it really is just payment for the major loss you don't even realize you went through until you're 40 something and you can't get it back.

I'm still really young and I already realize this. Everyone around me is growing up in both age and attitude and I still long for the days when girls were icky and the only decisions you made were choosing between the blue or red crayon. I want to go back to the days when cooties were the only disease to be worried about catching, it seems like all my generation cares about anymore is getting them from as many people as possible.

It seems as though the magic has just vanished from my life and a major reality check has just presented itself to me. I miss Santa and the Easter Bunny. I have a pretty good life, not many complaints, but I just want some of the magic back. Just a little spark of that pure innocence only little kids posses. I guess it's true what they say, ignorance is bliss.

Peace at Mind

Ok, so recently I watched The Hangover Part II, hilarious movie cannot begin to describe how hard I laughed, and when the scene popped up where the guys all visited that monk palace I started to wonder if meditation actually worked. So, like any other person with questions, I Googled it. As it turns out, meditation is different than what I expected. Essentially, meditation is like taking a power nap while your still awake. It's like your sort of turning off your brain for a minute and let it reboot and refresh itself. 

The key to meditation is to focus on your breathing. It should be slow and steady, breathing in through the nose and out the mouth. I was really curious about the benefits of meditation and even decided to try it myself. Before you can feel a difference in your day to day life you have to get into a routine and do it often. I only did it twice just to see if i could feel any difference at all. Immediately I felt refreshed, my thoughts more organized and had a lot of energy.

I don't know if I'll ever get into a habit of it, but it was an interesting experience and I might just have to do it again. So if life gets a little hectic and you need a way to calm down and destressify(it's my new word don't judge), then try this. It's easy and works fast. Until next time.
