Oh, It's Almost Winter Again....


Great. This is my least favorite time of year. Wisconsin is in a state of ever changing weather, and today is a perfect example of the crummy part of it. All the beautiful leaves are all gone and a wonderful combination of sleet and freezing cold has taken over. Already this year, 139 accidents have happened and we haven't received one inch of snow yet. Almost all drivers in Wisconsin have forgotten how to drive slow and take it easy as the roads change from hot tar to slick ice. This is just the start of a dangerous winter. On the other hand, deer hunting starts very soon and its also almost to the end of the semester. My grades are good, but my attitude towards school is changing slowly. This is the time of year when I lose a piece of my motivation. I just need to keep trucking along while ignoring the fact that its blistering cold and I have five weeks of school left. I wish I had a magic wand to wave and turn winter back in to summer, and motivation back into drive. Time for Christmas break!

Vote To Change America For The Good!


With the upcoming election this week, I have a couple of mixed feelings that come along with it. I will be voting this week along with millions of others, but there is a void of confidence in my choice of president. I believe that both presidents have a few great standpoints, but I know that not every issue they touch on will be as well of a success as they promise. Every president that has ever took office has never made every single American happy. Commercials say "the choice is yours!", but is it? We only have so many choices. Democrat or Republican? I believe an American should choose the president that best suites the needs for the common people. This American is the middle class, hard working, parent. I will not preach as to what president to vote for, but I will tell you that your choice is changing history. Choose the best president based on their past history, knowledge and future goals and promises, rather than popularity among the people of the United States of America.
