So we finally finished that man cave and moved into it. Me and my brother have been sleeping in it for the past few nights. We have a TV in there and we're planning on building a bar and putting a mini fridge by it. We are quite enthusiastic and excited about it.
One of my buddies couldn't help us out the last few days we worked on it. He and his family marched off to disneyland at this month so he wasn't available. He told me and my brother to save the last nail for him when he gets here to pound it in so he could say he helped.
All we need to do now really is to get a nice couch or loveseat to put in there. We don't really have enough seating for too many people to watch TV yet but but we don't have a ton of space either.
We'll have a lot of good times in there.
Oh, and if the people who have been reading these don't understand why my headings don't have anything to do with the actual blog, I'm just letting you know I do acknowledge that and I'm not doing it for any reason at all in particular.
Oh, also if anyone of you have heard of Steve Martin or his book Cruel Shoes don't ever read it. It's a piece of crap.
Also nobody ever search anything on Wikipedia ever again.

I'm Uber Bad
So sorry I haven't posted in awhile. I've been procrastinating.
It really isn't fun to blog you know? I mean sure it's a good opportunity to improve on my typing skills and it's a good outlet if you're bored. But it really isn't all that fun.
So not much has happened since I last posted. We did go on that rabbit hunt and we did get some rabbits and I must sat my new rifle did not disappoint. It performed perfectly.
We're almost done building that man cave too. We finally bought the rest of our materials and we're good to go. Our friend Ken is coming over on Sunday to help us finish it and we're oh so excited.
My grandpa also gave us a new TV to put in it once it's done so that's pretty uber as well. I was thinking about getting an old game console to play some of the old games on. You know what I'm talking about like Mario, Donkey Kong all those games. I've never actually played the old ones so it'll be kind of fun to get them.
I really don't have much else to say now. Like I said nothing has really been happening lately.
The weather is getting nicer here though... I though that was nice.

The beauty of killing wabbits
So I'm going rabbit hunting again this week. I don't know if I mentioned our first hunt in any of my previous blogs so just to fill you in, I'd gone on a rabbit hunt last month. We were hunting in the dark and it was cold and miserable so we're going this week since it's spring in the hopes that it'll be a bit warmer.
I am also hoping that my new shotgun will hold it's own against the vermin than my other gun did. Five 410. rounds in my cylinder is way better than 10 in a 22. especially when it's too crappy to fire.
Last I heard, we are making the trip over to Christmas valley on Friday. We'll stay for the weekend. Last month we got about 20 rabbits in one night. My friend's dad says they usually get about 50 on a good night. It's more pleasurable when it isn't so cold also.
This is still only one of the first times I've gone rabbit hunting. I've gone in Idaho with my uncle on his property a couple of times and I've gone with my friend and his dad last month. So I'm still a beginner at this sort of thing.
I don't have much going on really but if I ever do it'll end up here. :)
Oh, and I do have camp coming up. If that little tidbit interests you I guess you just won the prize.
If you haven't already guessed, there isn't much that I do. People are often asking me things like what my hobbies are but in reality I have none.
I'm not complaining though. I am quite happy regardless of the situation I'm in.
I suppose I've been given the blessing of finding contentment when there is nothing joyful in my life.
Perhaps this may be the greatest joy I could ever have received. If it were possible for all other people to find joy when there is no joy the earth would be a whole lot better place to live.
Perhaps I'll challenge the rest of you pleasant individuals to do the same thing that I strive to do if it pleases. Try to find peace and joy. Even in your darkest hour. Strive to find the good in your life. Look at all of the blessings you have and just for a second stop consuming and be content.
You see the problem with us modern Americans is we think that everything is owed to us. We are all wrong in our thinking. We really are no better than the rest of the world. We may be even worse in a lot of ways.
We are in so much debt right now that there is no chance of us getting out any time soon. Yet we just keep spending. The decisions that my beloved country's leaders are making is eventually going to make me move. We have more power than we deserve.
Many countries hate us because we are known as slovenly lazy fatties with too much power. Our government is becoming corrupt and they are doing things that are dishonest.
Talking about my country this way may be going a bit too far so I'll stop now. Just know whoever reads this just how I feel.

April Fules
So, good news. I was able to trade that crappy gun for the exact model of carbine that I wanted. I'm pretty happy. The gun is perfect. I enjoy it's performance and it has an exceptional feel to it. I really have no reason to be unhappy at this point so I am not.
So it's April fools today and everyone is updating their relationship statuses as a joke. As of today exactly four of my friends went from "single" to "engaged". Congrats guys but we all know you're full of it.
I completely forgot it was April fools earlier and the updates caught me off guard. I may sound like I am invincible to April fools jokes but I proved myself otherwise today.
My lack of respect for the power of an April fools joke may be traced back to the first April fools joke ever told to me.
I was about 10 and my mother told me she was gonna pull and April fools joke and even told me what it was gonna be.
She told me the night before that she was gonna come into my room and pretend that it was a school morning even though it was Saturday. She did that the next morning and I wasn't fooled. From then on I thought I was unfoolable. I'm not of course.
I'm actually pretty gullible. Once there was an Iranian guy that my family knew and he would always play the same dumb little trick on me every time we saw him. He would point to an area on my shirt and say something like..."What in the hell is that?" and when I looked down he would jab me in the eye with his finger.
I haven't seen that Iranian guy in awhile but next time I do I have got to remember his tactic.

My Crap Rifle
Oh CRAP March is almost over. I think I'm gonna scream. Oh hey did I tell you guys about that piece of crap rifle I bought? If no, I bought this magnum research Magnumlite 22. lr that was supposed to be the most high end 22. you can buy...almost... but it turned out to be A demon's tird.
If I thought it was capable of working properly I would have, in my anger, shot myself with it already, but I know that it would be pointless because the probability of something actually coming out of the barrel when you pull the trigger is as good as releasing a chimpanzee into a cage with a wounded puppy and expecting him not to eat it.
So guys if you are interested in purchasing the most disappointing piece of crap in the universe, I am gladly willing to trade it to you for a paper cup filled to the brim with maggots swimming in the week-old diarrhea of a sick rhinoceros.
Although I have found the gun to be completely useless, I am hoping that if I don't tell the dealers that I think something is wrong with it, they may gladly return to me at least half of the money that I payed for it, which was originally $700.
I do hope to purchase a much better carbine in the near future. The model I'm looking at now is the "Taurus Circuit Judge" Which is a combination of a 410. gauge shotgun and a 45. long colt rifle. It is a revolver carbine and it has a rugged design. The gun itself is built to last, and because it's two guns in one, I can go varmint hunting, and maybe large game hunting as well.
I am excited to see what I can get out of my crap 22. and if it'll be enough to put towards a purchase of my carbine.

Nobody's Fool
So lately I've been working on a project with my brother. We're building sort of a man cave/bedroom. It's in one of the shops we have out back. I'm pretty excited about it and thought I'd share it with you guys.
Also I've been been chatting with I girl I met from Russia. I saw her profile pic on facebook and requested her. So far through our conversations I've found that she is very sweet and I do enjoy talking to her. It does get rather lonely around here so a little conversation with a new friend is great.
I've also been thinking lately about something I barely ever think about. I think I'd like to start dating. It might just be a passive feeling because I've really never thought too much about it. I am gonna be 18 this year so dating indeed is in the near future for me.
Well, I'm sorry but I really can't think of anything else to say. I promise you people longer posts in the future.

Paintball Paladin
So things have been pretty OK lately. Mostly I've just been chilling out. Today I decided to beat the boredom by inviting a good buddy of mine over to paintball for awhile.
One thing about paintball is you spend more time talking about paintball than actually doing it even when you're suited up and ready. Even when we finally decided to play, we only did one game and we stopped when my buddy ran out of paint.
Despite ending our game prematurely, the fun of the day had just begun. I had been previously notified by my brother that I would have to go through "initiation". Basically initiation is when a noob to paintball runs in front of several guys while they shoot him until he runs to a certain goal.
I wasn't exactly in favor of this but I wasn't going to let the guys think ill of me because they had all supposedly done it before. To assure the present company that I wasn't a wuss I accepted my fate while shaking in my boots.
Before I started running I wasn't too freaked out. I'd never exactly been shot by a paintball gun very close let alone three guns firing mercilessly at the same time so I didn't know what to expect.
I can't remember a time when I'd felt that much pain at one time in my whole life. I felt every shot even after I was pumped with adrenaline. My Buddy James was toting a Tippman A-5 which is an extremely high-powered gun. Earlier in the day I'd witnessed him shooting holes in a thick plastic bucket.
A you can imagine I have quite a few welts on various parts of my body. I knew when I was being hit my James because he always aims for my ass.
Well, that's what happened today. Hope you enjoyed reading it.

Everything I touch dies...
Well, it's finally March. This has to be one of my favorite months with it being the beginning of Spring. Nice weather is very important to me. If the day is overcast or rainy I feel uneasy. If it's sunny I'm happy.
I like being outside but I only truly enjoy it when it's a nice day. I hate the rain because being cold and wet just isn't my cup of tea.
Another reason I like Spring is that fact that spring break is coming up. What youth doesn't love a week of no school? If you don't then I'd have to assume that you're the type of person that scowls on sunny days and eats puppies.
March is also the month of ST. Patrick's day. That is one of my favorite holidays. I'm mostly Irish so it's a good time for me. I just get a good feeling that day. It makes me happy and gives me a good excuse to pig out on corned beef and cabbage.
So recently I've been checking out my facebook page hoping to see some notifications. Every time I go on I don't see anything. I suppose I'm not exactly the type of person people feel the need to contact.
I also don't blame them. I don't tend to make a very big impression when I'm out amongst people. I used to have quite a few friends but I really don't have very many any more. I suppose I have a few that live in Idaho but other than that I'm without company.
Having brothers and a sister can be nice most of the time but they aren't always that uplifting towards me. By that I mean they enjoy mocking and making a fool out of me. But I suppose I'm no different towards them.
Being apart from civilization has kind of taken it's toll on me. I'm pretty messed up in the head by now and I can't really hold an intelligent conversation. I'm very socially awkward.
Oh well, I guess we'll just have to wait and see what becomes of me. I can pretty much only hope that I don't turn out to be an awkward adult. It's sort of looking that way right now...

I haven't said a lot about myself when I post. O mostly just talk about what's going on. Maybe it's time I say a few things about my tastes and stuff.
One little interesting tidbit about me is that I play the banjo. Yup, I've been picking away for over three years.
Another thing about me; I'm a square dancer. yeah it might sound like I'm some sort of hick or something, but I assure you I'm not. I do the things I enjoy. These are just some fun things I like to do.
I live on a farm... No I'm not a redneck.
I love Jesus.
I do judo.
I like to write.
I like to draw and paint.
I like to help others.
I live in Oregon.
I like shooting guns. I'm not violent though.
I hunt.
I like knives.
I don't like to fight.
I like being with old folks.
I eventually want to get married.
So yeah those are just some of a few things about me. I don't get out that much,
but I have everything I need to be happy. Having a simple life is a good thing. Nothing quite beats working to survive on your own.
More stuff coming later.

Sorrowful Days
So there's been some hard times going on this week. A good friend of the family had his feelings hurt pretty bad by us. Me and my brothers joke around a lot.In this case we joked a little to much more than said friend could handle. He sent an email to my mom about how offended he was by our behavior and I guess he didn't realize we were joking most of the time...
At first I only thought my brothers were at fault because they joked way more than I did and they were more severe when they did it. But then I evaluated myself and realized that I was a slight problem myself. I did make a few jokes and comments that I thought were funny to our friend as well. But that's all they were. Jokes...
It was mostly insult based humor and a lack of appreciation for all the help he's given to this family. At least that's what it said in his email. My brothers are mostly at fault. I've always tried to hold him in high regard and treat him with respect but I guess I didn't make enough effort in doing so because he lacked to mention my kindness. It makes me embarrassed to be in the company of the people I am ashamed to call my brothers.
How can I live in harmony with those who ridicule the people I am close to. I really don't factor in when my brothers are around. I'm in the crowd with them so I must be participating in their shenanigans. That's what it looks like to other people anyways. I can't endure this any longer. I have to break away soon. Don't get me wrong. I do love my brothers, but they're too much to handle at times. Our dear friend found that out the hard way.
Time will tell if our friend ever decides to come back this way again. I would't if I were him especially after sending an email like the one he sent. It was quite harsh and really he had no business sending it. IF the jokes we made offended him as badly as he said they did than he could have said something to us rather than causing all this drama.
I had no problem with our friend all the time we've known him. He's quite a sweet man. But I might rather not see him again now that he's wounded this family with his speech. All he really had to do was speak up. I took the hint of how he was acting. I quit joking after awhile. But while my brothers continued I was with them so he hates me equally.
I am angry that he wouldn't say something to us. I'm more angry at my brothers than him though. If they would have just shut their mouths there would be no problem. But they simply had to continue making the hurtful comments until it was too late. I did warn them that they had offended him. I warned them many times. They rebuked my warning and mocked me.
Now Our friend is gone. He was a special friend to us and he couldn't have left at a worse time than he did. There isn't going to be any forgiveness by him to us. He will indeed hate us for quite awhile. I really don't blame him. Like I said, I would too.

Not Much Time!!
Hey guys, recently I posted some scriptures on here to inspire others to witness the gospel and tell others about Jesus' saving grace. I hope some of you read it and got something out of it. The Bible is an important book that all need to read. Lately I've kind of been slacking on my reading of it. The reason is because the Bible can be a scary book sometimes. All the talk of hell and judgment can be just a little frightening.
If you're on the right side with God and walk humbly with him you really have nothing to worry about. But if you continually sin against him and never repent and turn from your sin, there's a little problem there. You see, if you die in sin and never repent, There's no way that God can let you into heaven. It's his responsibility to make sure everyone is judged justly. Please dear friends consider this. God wants you to keep your eyes on him all the time.
The Bible is very clear about what is right and wrong. It's also clear about how you can be saved. Please friends turn from your worldly ways and turn to Jesus. His arms have always been open to you. All you need to do is believe in him and say that Jesus is God out loud. Cry out to him and ask forgiveness of your sins. Become a new creature before God and live for him. Dig into the Bible and find out what he wants from you.
Please brothers and sisters, also resist the temptation to do things that are offensive to him. keep his commandments and have eternal life. Tell others about him. Tell them how they can be saved. Don't let them die without hearing about Jesus. Let it be your goal to always teach others about him. Show mercy on all people by telling them the truth about God's love.
God is not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance. So please people, come to Jesus. I can't stress how important this is. It's a matter of life and eternal death. God doesn't want any to die but it's up to you whether or not you choose to accept him. All the answers you need can be found in the word of God. Always look in the Bible for answers. Remember that even God himself exalts his word above his own name!
Turn to God. Let him take control. You have a choice to make and it's the most important one you will ever.

If you're on the right side with God and walk humbly with him you really have nothing to worry about. But if you continually sin against him and never repent and turn from your sin, there's a little problem there. You see, if you die in sin and never repent, There's no way that God can let you into heaven. It's his responsibility to make sure everyone is judged justly. Please dear friends consider this. God wants you to keep your eyes on him all the time.
The Bible is very clear about what is right and wrong. It's also clear about how you can be saved. Please friends turn from your worldly ways and turn to Jesus. His arms have always been open to you. All you need to do is believe in him and say that Jesus is God out loud. Cry out to him and ask forgiveness of your sins. Become a new creature before God and live for him. Dig into the Bible and find out what he wants from you.

The Holy Scriptures
I probably should have mentioned this before but I AM a Christian so I'd like to share a very encouraging story from the Bible about an event of evangelism. This is to encourage other Christians into spreading the gospel as Philip did to this man. This story has a happy ending.
26 Now an angel of the Lord said to Philip, “Go south to the road—the desert road—that goes down from Jerusalem to Gaza.” 27 So he started out, and on his way he met an Ethiopian[a] eunuch, an important official in charge of all the treasury of the Kandake (which means “queen of the Ethiopians”). This man had gone to Jerusalem to worship, 28 and on his way home was sitting in his chariot reading the Book of Isaiah the prophet. 29 The Spirit told Philip, “Go to that chariot and stay near it.”
30 Then Philip ran up to the chariot and heard the man reading Isaiah the prophet. “Do you understand what you are reading?” Philip asked.
31 “How can I,” he said, “unless someone explains it to me?” So he invited Philip to come up and sit with him.
32 This is the passage of Scripture the eunuch was reading:
“He was led like a sheep to the slaughter,
and as a lamb before its shearer is silent,
so he did not open his mouth.
33 In his humiliation he was deprived of justice.
Who can speak of his descendants?
For his life was taken from the earth.”[b]
34 The eunuch asked Philip, “Tell me, please, who is the prophet talking about, himself or someone else?” 35 Then Philip began with that very passage of Scripture and told him the good news about Jesus.
36 As they traveled along the road, they came to some water and the eunuch said, “Look, here is water. What can stand in the way of my being baptized?” [37] [c] 38 And he gave orders to stop the chariot. Then both Philip and the eunuch went down into the water and Philip baptized him. 39 When they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord suddenly took Philip away, and the eunuch did not see him again, but went on his way rejoicing. 40 Philip, however, appeared at Azotus and traveled about, preaching the gospel in all the towns until he reached Caesarea.
I hope you enjoyed reading this. I hope you guys think about ways you can evangelize to others when God calls you to do it. There is always an exciting feeling when someone accepts Christ.
Tanks for reading!

Making Some Money?
Hey, what's up people? I have nothing to do tonight so I thought I'd update my blog. So do any of you watch youtube videos? And by "watch" I don't mean every once in a while. I'm talking about subscribing to certain youtube celebrities and watching their videos regularly. I'm one of those people. I'd say I spend around an hour a day on the computer just watching youtube every day. Some might say it's a waste of time but I figure if you enjoy something and it's not wrong in some way, why not do it every so often? I know you guys agree.
I've been thinking lately about starting my own comedy youtube channel, or at least a vlog channel. I don't have a good camera but I figure if I come into any money soon, purchasing a camcorder might be a good investment. I'm not really sure about that though because there are other things I need to be saving my money for. A trip to Alaska, college fund, and a car to name a few. So perhaps a camcorder would need to wait; at least until I get a steady job.
I have had one job before. It was last year over in Idaho. I wrote all about it in my other blog, so if you're interested in the details check out my profile and click the link to "Believe Me I Know". The last of the money I made in that job was spent just recently. Money sure does have a way of magically disappearing little by little, especially when Christmas rolls around. The holidays were pretty rough on my wallet last year. I bought several seemingly expensive gifts for my family including two digital cameras, a board game, a knife, and a video game. So I was pretty much broke thereafter.
I think I mentioned a trip to Alaska earlier. The deal is this summer me, my friend James, and my brother Nolan, are supposed to go on a two week trip to Alaska. Of course long trips anywhere are very expensive. If we travel by plane (which I'm sure we will) I'll have to have $500 by June. If we go by car I'll need to obtain a passport and last I heard they cost around $70. If we go by car I'll need about $100 for food and gear. And I'd probably need to pitch in for fuel. I might have to end up earning around $200 if we travel by car.
So the next big thing I need to do is make some money. I do wish to go to Alaska but if I am to go, I need to get my rear in gear. I'd still have enough money to go now if I hadn't been so foolish with the money I'd earned over the summer. Just goes to show that I can't be trusted to use my own cash wisely. Whenever I get another job I'd better save every cent. I also need to have a budget when it comes time to buy gifts for people. As long as I have no cash flow, nothing is gonna happen.
So audience! What temporary jobs would you recommend? I'd really appreciate any advice I can get from you people!
Thanks Much!

Busy Month Ahead
So I've settled on a new name for my blog. Not many people read so there wasn't much of a poll. I've cleared all of the other blog posts to make room for brand new ones. It's the same page as "A Knack For Doing Right" except I changed the name and erased everything. So look forward to a new start with fresh new topics.
So there isn't really much floating around in my mind today. I suppose I could talk about recent events. It's three days after my older brother Ethan's birthday celebration; he just turned 19. I enjoyed chilling with him that day. I always enjoy Ethan when he's in a good mood. He can be a rather frustrating person any other time but on his birthday he was a nice guy. I don't think it's any surprise that he was in a good mood though. You would have to be a pretty horrible person to have a bad mood on your birthday. I don't know of any people who are that bad.
Speaking of current events, Spring is coming up pretty quick. I know several people who are excited for that. I know I am. Spring is the time of year that makes me want to get outdoors. I enjoy walking with my dog along the countryside and spring accommodates me by offering optimum weather. It's only February and we're already getting some descent sunshine. We might get an early spring this year! Before I know it my swimming trunks will be clenching my buttocks as a man embraces his wife's soft bosom. LOL!!! is a joke.
Another reason I'm excited about February is because on the 15th I will be attending a creation seminar in Portland with some close family of mine. They live in Idaho and they are probably the closest family I have outside of the immediate. I have some close friends in Idaho that may be coming down at the same time. They are also seemingly close to me.
I suppose this will be a busy month. On the 22nd we are purchasing a Boxer puppy from a friend of the family who lives in Burns. as of this week the pup is seven weeks old.
Thank you for reading. There will be many more posts so stay tuned.
