Military

this past engish assignment we had to do was to interview people of a different subculture. the subculture i chose was the military. i chose the military becaus i hav always been interested in it since i was younger. my friends and i when we were younger would always play outside with fake guns and i remember clearly how we would always be running around shooting at the invisable enemies.

what ever happened to those days where kids would play out side and imagine things and let those imagineations take them on adventures. the days where all u needed where a couple friends or siblings. i remember my brothers and i would go in the back and play for hours on end in the creek making damn and then breaking um, or playing cops and robbers, or the best one hind and seek. i never had more fun then hind and seek.when we got older hind and seek turned in to hind and run if they get close otherwise you were getting shot at with paint balls.

Also when we got older we got more dangerous. we also didnt get your ordinary toys. instead of bikes we got DIRT BIKES. Then soon after that we got a 4-wheelers and instead of playing tag on foot we were playing tag on the run. and when winter time came we would tie tires and sled to the back of the 4 wheeler and zoom around the yard.

Yes we may have had the advantage of living in the country but we were always outside playing. we were brainstorm together ideas ( not always safe ones that our mother liked) but neverthe less we were out socializing and enjoying eachothers company.

The point i want to make is that i feel now adays kids dnt do that as often. they lock themselfs in there room and are playing video games or on the computer. bt they are seperating them selfs from the world. they arent socializing with others unless its through electronic means. I dont feel its healthy both phsically and mentally to be sitting there starring at a screne for hours on end. mayb iam just bias becaus i was raised different bt looking at some of these people and hearing about these people who just go to skool then come home and seperate them selves from society they are missing out. a few i have met hav no social skills that are so important in the real world. now iam not saying video games are the devil i play them everyonce in a while bt to be on them all the time is not healthy. i encouage everyone to get outside use your imagination take your self back to being a kid.

Wisconsin winter

One thing that bugs me about the wisconsin winter is not the snow or the cold or the ice. its the people that complain about the snow the cold and the ice and the bad weather. HELLO!! its wisconsin this is america you can leave. the best part is the older people who have lived here their whole life and every year they complain. its like they are waiting for a year where it will b like summer. note to self its not goin to happen and complaining about it isnt going to change it.



So i figure winter is quite a long season and i personally like winter caus then i get to bring out the snowmobile. i figure i mine as well find a sport for winter since we are in it 1/3rd of the year. I look forward to winter every year. i think snowmobiling is one of the best winter sports there is for a few reasons. reason one is i like to go fast. reason two is when you go up north or even some places araound here you get to see land and terrain that you would ever even knew was out there. third reason i find snowmobiling an escape from all life problem.



when iam out snowmobiling thats all i focus on. there is no job or school work or relationship problems when you are on the sled. there are a few down fall to the sport of snowmobiling. snowmobiling is not a cheap sport between the snowmobilie it self along with all the mantanice it needs it cost a pretty penny over the course of a season.

another thing i love about the wisconsin winter is christmas and spending time with family and friends. most people when they think of winter think of the cold the snow and just misurable weather. i think of snowmobiling other winter sports but also spending valuable time with loved ones. other better than having that hot chocolate and curled up by the fire with the one you love.
