Last weekend I went hunting at my granddads ranch. We were hunting white-tail deer. It was kind of boring at first we got up before the sun came up and headed out to the blind, we were in the blind before you could even see and looking for deer was impossible. The wait was on. We saw 2 does, but we didn’t want to waste our tags on them. Finally a buck showed up but it was a long way away’s so we waited for it to come to the feeder- it started walking closer and closer. I had the rifle ready and the scope aimed on its heart I was about to pull the trigger and suddenly- wait my dad yelled! That ones racks to small you’ll get in trouble if you shoot that.
Off season is one of the hardest things I’ve ever done in my entire life. Fall has come and the weather is getting colder and colder. Yesterday was very difficult, It was below 40 degrees, and of course I forgot my jacket. First we did 200 yards of bear crawls, every time Coach Graeber blew the whistle we had to do ten push ups. He blew his whistle a lot. By the end of that I couldn’t feel my hands. We then did 100 yards of crab walks and every time coach blew his whistle we had to do 10 sit-ups. After that I knew we were almost done but to top it off the last thing we did was 50 yards of duck walks.
I almost felt like giving up but I knew this would make me way better next year for football season. I needed to help my team are last season the A-team, which I was on didn’t win a single game. doing all this conditioning would make me stronger, faster, and tougher. Since we did well this week, coach Culver said that he had a fun activity planned for tomorrow. somebody then said “guys maybe we will only have to do a couple sprints tomorrow!” we all burst out laughing.
The best part is going into the warm showers and it feels amazing, but some days the waters freezing and it feels terrible. but all day long you’re exhausted, and you’re always thinking how many more minutes till lunch.
My heart was about to leap out of my chest I has about to take a 200 ft super steep plummet down a metal track. The cart lurched forward and I was literally standing up because it was . I would have fallen out if it wasn’t for all the safety stuff. I was on the iron rattler at Six Flags
Another ride was the Goliath, the Goliath is one of those rides that you’re sitting in a chair with your feet dangling below you. It was one of there newer rides that was having some technical difficulties all day long and they finally fixed it. We sat in the back the first time, because there was no line. Three…Two…One… Fwoosh we shot out like a rocket, immediately flipped up side down went up and then gravity came in to play and sent us sailing down, then another loop and finally the ride came to a stop.
At the end of the day we were all worn out and starving so we stopped at Popositios In San Antonio. It was then a competition in the car to see who was best at the App Impossible rode. Finally we got home and got chase’s golf part and destroyed are stuffed animal prizes that we had won.
Halloween is on Thursday and I still need a costume! I have brainstormed and brainstormed but I just cant do it this year. I need something funny or scary but I don’t want to be immobile either, take last year for example I was a sumo wrestler and could barely jog. Last year I barely got any candy because of that.
I was thinking about being one of the people from Duck Dynasty, but I don’t know how I’ll run in cowboy boots. But if I am a duck dynasty person I will only have to make or buy a fake beard and American bandana, because I already have jeans, a camouflage shirt from hunting, and cowboy boots from camp to do horse back riding. Or I could go buy a morph suit, which is basically a elastic suit thing that covers your entire body. but what color should I get?
Im leaning towards the duck dynasty, because it would be cheaper. But I just cant wait for the bags of candy I could get. Speaking of I also need to get Halloween candy. If you have any ideas tell me ’cause I really need some.
Funeral
Even the birds are silent
Morning dew weighs on the dark green grass
A low fog,with a drizzle of rain rolls through the grave yard, nature seems to be weeping also.
Fresh yellow roses and daisies contrast to all the dark gray
Everyone draped in black the priest starts
The bird takes flight and soar away
Texas Longhorns
My favorite college football team is the Texas Longhorns. They just beat there biggest rivals Oklahoma University in the Red River Rivalry. The longhorns did not start there season off they wanted to but, they fired there defensive coordinator Manny Diaz and have been doing better. The longhorns are now 5-2 after beating TCU. Some of there big players are Case McCoy, Jonathan Grey, and Mike Davis.
For those of you don’t know Austin City Limits Music festival aka ACL started last weekend. I am going this weekend, Lots of great bands and artists are playing this year. I really want to go see Kendrick Lamar, I would love to see fun. but they start at 4:00 and that’s the time school gets out, Kings of Leon, Vampire Weekend, and especially Muse who performed at the NCAA final four. On Saturday I want to see Passion Pit. On Sunday I want to see Eric Church. Cant wait till the weekend.
On the turf
Through the air, Over the defenders head.
Sailed the beautiful spiral of a ball, Into the Receivers hands,
Sprinting down the sidelines, leaping into the end zone,
The crowd goes berserk,
The ball goes to the holder,
The kicker strikes it through the goalposts,
The game is over, The smell of victory reeks through the stadium.

My passion is fishing, everything’s so calm and then smack a monster leaps out of the water, and takes the lure. The fish is big but the fight is bigger. I also like the mystery of what you got on the line. You can tell the size of the fish but you don’t know what type it is. My favorite fish is a fat old bass, or a humongous yellow fin tuna. Fly fishing I’m ok with I just started this summer, but any time when your fishing is a great time.
