Historical research in a nutshell.

Well recently I have come to the realization that I am going to be fifteen years of age in a matter of weeks and one of the things that I want more than anything is a new set of colonial clothing for re-enacting purposes. This is an intensive process that should not be taken lightly...  Basically you have to pick a persona, I have adopted a drummer for the continental army.  so you then look for things that your person would wear through first person or secondary sources. the final step is finding a place that makes the exact clothes you need, or learn to sew.  I have my new clothes and this weekend I will post something along the lines of.. "Dressing the colonial man"... other than that I really haven't done much worth blogging.  More will come though, I promise!

cell phones suck

Well 2 weeks ago at the beach I lost mine, gues where it was... in a bowl of water. nuff said.. Im pissed

HOLY @#%* it's 2012 already

Hi, wow I guess I should sum up the holidays and my school vacation.  Nah, remember I'm too much of a hipster to do that.... Okay maybe ths one time I'll conform to the scocial norm:

Halloween- Didn't happen, CT cancelled it because it snowed in October but I did miss school the entire week, it was a trade off.  I went to Atlanta  Georgia it was cool, I found my new love frozen yogurt. luckily theres a year round Yogurt Madness up here.. I can fill my cravings. 

Dia De Los Muertos- I didn't celebrate it, the one time I did and ate a sugar skull I wanted to die...

Thanksgiving- F-O-O-D, nough said.  I'll go on don't worry, the family came over and we ate.  we had turkey, pasta, stuffing, mashed potatoes, sweet potato cassurole, I'm sure there was more but I don't want to think about it anymore.

Sol invictus- (christmas) according to the bible, Jesus was actually born in March (no wonder I'm so saintly) so we were ctually celebrating the old pagan sun holiday, sol invictus.  your welcome for that tid-bit.  eh...I got a week off of shool needless to say I got some well deserved rest...

New Year- It's a big shiny ball...yep.  it was my once a year glass of sparkling grape juice, and I loved it (note to self--CONCORD GRAPES) the white ones taste lik ca-ca. 

Almost a dragoon captain... in my fat dreams

Well today in bio while I should have been paying attention to my teacher (sorry Mrs. L) I was fantasizing about this weekend a camp out at the homestead with friends and mock battles... I know I'm probably the biggest loser on the face of the earth...  but anyway I had to question what I was going to wear to said mock battle and this is what I've got so far:

from the bottom up:  
                                    >tall black rubber rain boots.
                                    >red and black striped pirate stockings
                                    >my casual work jeans
                                    >18th century workshirt (puffy sleeved pirate shirt)
                                    >Vietnam war styled jacket.. (casual dress gone military)
                                    >an almost dragoon hat (which I'll take pics of the making of)

Other accessories include a wooden musket, pistols, and sword.  White leather gloves and sword belt.   I'm pumped so HA!

What if.....

What if I told you that I am currently blogging from my mobile device? What if I told you you could too? Well as it turned out my blog will pretty much format itself to any iPhone or Android smart phone. What if I told you my new plan to get hits to my blog? Well I I'm going to go to the apple store and open my blog on their iPhones,iPads,and iPods so that way when people open it they see the mobile formatting and I get a hit. Well wish me luck good night bloggee's 

hey, wasup, F--- the world.

So a lot has happened since my last post on the eighteenth of July, I went to Seattle, I started ninth grade, I actually picked up at Hale again; but whatever I digress....   The true purpose of this blog post was for me to share my real world experience on something that a lot of teens go through; peer pressure.

So today I had to walk home from school and I figured the most direct route would be through the local woods, Wintergreen woods (which is actually 95% percent oak) so I'm walking and I get about twenty yards from the wood's entrance, in the woods there was his group of upper class men smoking they pretty much were un-avoidable unless I wanted to walk through the  woods and whatever lurks under the leaves.  So I stayed on path listening to the Beatles I am the Walrus and one of the guys said to me "hey, you wanna mess around" his remark didn't really register at first so I took my right earbud out and said "huh, watcha say?" his reply left a shiver in my spine for the rest of my walk home, what had hit me so hard was when he reiterated himself and said "do you wanna mess around with pot?".  I stopped and thought for  moment I did just have a shitty phone call with my dad, I am stressed out between hale, my family, school but then the thought occurred to me what would my family think? What kind of hypocritical parent would I be preaching to my child not to take peer pressure or do drugs when I could have? in the end I just told them "Nah you guys, that shits whack, trust me" by doing this I come across as knowing what I'm talking about, and it sounds like I had gotten into trouble with is before, I left a lot unsaid.  and thats what you really have to do just keep your head down and be vague enough but at the same time profound enough to make a statement and leave the masses guessing.


Thats my story for today, I promise to update at some point...

IT'S BEEN FOREVER!!!!!!! IIIIIKKKKKK

I completely understand that I haven't updated in like forever but I spent a week in Rhode Island and alot happened.  I'm not going into full detail.. but lets just say I screwed up, I fell, and I got back up and fixed the mess I made... I am also in need of a new cell phone, I lost mine and got  it back in a bowl of water so it is pretty screwed up.  and I have to live with it until Novemer until I'm entitled to an upgrade...  It pisses me off that I can get an upgrade on an arbitrary day but not when I need it.  Alas life goes on.
