i wanna sleep with you forever, and i wanna die in your arms
Today is Monday and I did not have to work at all today. Well after school I went home and did some homework. It was an awfully windy day so I decided the hell with it, I am going to go squirrel hunting with my bow. Thursday starts the beginning of bow season for deer so squirrel hunting with your bow is good practice. Quite a windy day but I figured hell with it, bigger challenge. So I got all dressed up in my camo, walked out there and climbed up in my stand. Point of this blog is to argue that killing animals with a bow is the biggest adrenaline rushes out there. I have been on roller coasters, bungee jumped (at three hundred dollars I don’t think it was worth the money) and been in a car wreck. Although all of those incidents had me shaking like a dog, none of them was quite like shooting game. Anyone who has ever shot game knows this. The feeling starts at your feet and works to your whole body. Today when I was out there and throwing arrows left and right I never full stopped shaking. It is uncontrollable. You should try shooting a deer. That’s the best rush out of anything you can think of. Taking life from a living creature has the same effect on everyone. Roller coasters don’t always affect people the same, but taking life is consistent with the effects on people’s bodies. Try it some time you won’t stop shaking. It’s amazing.

you know i like my chiken fried, cold beer on a friday night, pair of jeans that fit just rigt
i was just thinkin. i was trying to figure out what to blog on and i had a few ideas. i thought about writing about the difference between highschool english and college neglish. that led me to thinking about research papers for some reason. then while i was thinking about research papers, end noting came to my mind. then i realized how stupid i think end noting is. why do we end note? to give credit to the people who wrote that piece. i have several problems with end noting and plagerism. both i find ridiulous concepts. i wonder what people wrote information down that they found out and actually care if you rewrite it word for word. and if their are people like that in the werld wth? they have nothing better to do then to get pissy with someone copying what they had to say? good oviously what they had to say is good enough that someone else wnats to use it isnt that good enough? ican understand if someone tried to take that material and make money off of it. but for kids in highschool and college to get failed grades for not end noting seems a little far stretched to me. see it seems so far stretched because you can take someone elses sentence and manipulate it into being your own sentence simply by changing a few werds. just saying ya i see that if you try and sell someone elses werk thats wrong but if you are just using someone elses werk to support your werk, endnoting should not be neccessary

one sip aint gonna do shit, on the second sip i begin to admit that the third one down is what makes me feel alright
i am an avid deer hunter and there is an issue that has been around for many moons. the question is in fact should bow hunting be allowed during firearm season. for years it has not been allowed but i dont agree with this law.
it has always been, since i started hunting when i was ten, that a bow was not allowed in the woods as long as gun season was taking place. apparently people dont agree with this law for recently house bill 4631 has been introduced. and what that bill if passed says is that bow hunting would be allowed in the woods during gun season.
My confusion is why did the law ever become? What reason can a bow hunter not walk in the woods side by side with the fellow gun hunters? Many argue it is because we already hold a hundred and seven day season why do we need the extra seven days. my response to this? What the hell does it matter whether or not you take a deer with a bow or gun? For one its really hard to take a deer with a bow during bow season let alone gun season. deer are more skittish durinig gun season makin it even more hard to kill one with a bow. This law would also give hunters a chance to shoot four deer during gun season instead of only two. some argue this is wrong and would depleat the deer population. There are eight hundred thousand deer running free in illinois and with only three hundred thousand hunters, many of which are only registered hunters and dont actually get deer, the chances of depleating the deer population down to nothing isnt even a question.
some people dont think bows should be allowed in the woods at the time of gun season but new legislation and many others like my self disagree

im never gonna dance again, the way i danced with you.(case study #1)
I have done many different types of writeing through out my life. Most of my writing done was for school purposes. Boring! I have found that that type of writing is stressful and apparently most of that writing is full of errors. I have over the past couple of months found a new form of writing that is quite enjoyable. When i moved to this area at the begining of this summer, i had no friends. What i found to help to cope with everything is writing in a journal. And although now i have picked up some friends from work, i continue to write in this journal. The time i spend with my journal is just as theoputic as spending times with friends. all of my past memories go in this journal, current feelings, events, and persional accomplishments go in there as well. Most of this writing is done at the end of the night, in my room alone. There are no mistakes in my journal. i cant say anything wrong or offend anyone because its for my eyes only. I find that when i wake up in the morning i feel better with having everything off my chest and if by chance the day gets shitty i hold it in till night when i can jot down whats bothering me. The journal is my counceler and friend all in one. I enjoy this writing most because no one complanis about it, disagrees with it or even knows about it for that matter. Momma always said if you dont have anything good to say dont say anything at all. well fine i wont say it out loud but a journal is the perfect place to let out exactly how your feeling.

intro letter
August 26, 2009Dear Stephanie,My name is Rodney Blake Maynor Jr. I lived in Camp Point Illinois up until about two months ago. My new home is in Washburn. My father asked me to come live here as a direct result of my mother moving to Utah. Moving to Utah was less then desirable, despite my strong bond my mother, little sisters, and me share. The large quantity of Mormons that live in Utah contributed to my lack of interest of the state. Not only that, all my family, besides my mom and two younger sisters, lives in Illinois. Not to mention that along with living with my father comes eighty acres of hard wood territory I have free range to. The great out doors is wear my heart lies. When school work is complete and work has given me a break you will most likely find me in the woods. Whether it be hunting, fishing, captioning wild life on film, or just enjoying the sounds of the forest, I am most happy when my activities are out doors with nature. Although killing animals for food interests me highly, so does caring for them. My father and I do not live along. We are accompanied by eleven dogs, seven cats, chickens, guineas, turkeys, a lizard, four parrots, and a fish named Tony. I have not slept alone in my bed since moving here as a direct result of the animals. Not necessarily bad though. Religion interest me at an unexplainably high rate. Although I was raised catholic, most of my time is spent reading up on different religions. Many people defend their religion not knowing anything about other religions. My personal opinion is if one is going to argue with another on their religion, they should at least know the basics concepts to what they are arguing against. Kroger employs me and recently a Mormon walked through my line to purchase goods. When the gentleman approached me, he asked what my preferred religion was. When I replied with catholic he pulled from his pocket The Book of Mormon. He said reading this book my change my life. In order to humor the man, reading this slow read book has become a hobby of mine. Although only a few hundred pages have been read from the book, every time the Mormon gentleman shops in Kroger he comes through my lane just to argue with me. The arguing is actually the only way we call ourselves friends so the arguing is just our own personal way of bonding. Was it mentioned that half a month ago I fell on a machete which cut through all the way to the bone? Some call me prone to accident. Accounting happens to be the career I am pursuing. I intend on keeping up on my school work for not only this, but many more semesters of schooling. In my head, graduating from college is an untouchable goal at times. First semester is a good start to get in the habit of good time management. Along with the responsibility of college comes the responsibility of finances. Hanging on to money, in the past, has been an issue. When I moved here saving more and spending less has become one of my highest priorities. The game plan is not going to change in this first semester either. Hopefully my letter gives you a better understanding of taking a walk in my shoes for the day.
Sincerely, Mr. Rodney Blake Maynor

concealment laws obsurd
As you know, with living in Illinois, we have an exceptionaly irrational outlook on guns. An outlook brought forth by the good citizens of Chicago. Chicago influences the laws on our guns greatly. This passage is to help those people better understand why the NRA exists and why so many people dont agree with the laws created on guns.
There are forty eight states in america that allow some sort of concealment of weapons. the two that dont? Illinois and Wisconsin. That in itself is good enough reason for our state government to pass concealment laws. Hello! Its working for everyone else oviously.
Why does it work for everyone else? Crime rates have fallen in other states as a result of concealment laws. Makes since. A robber is less likely to to rob a store or an indivigual knowing that they might just shoot back. And for that matter any sort of robbery is less likely for a robber knowing that theres a good chance some ones going to shoot back.
As if limiting our gun rights isnt bad enough, some organizations are trying to take away our guns altogether. The people who want that kind of band have never shot a gun in their life. Guns are apart of our culture. Guns arent onlly used for killing people. They are many other fun ways to use guns. I have persionally shot hand guns weekend in and weekend out for the past two years and never once was a man killed at these shoots. People also use guns for trap shooting which is challenging and quite stress relieveing i might ad. Over three thousand deer were killed with firearms last year in illinois alone. Fifty percent lets say were female. Thats fifteen hundred deer that are able to have up to three offspring. If you average two offspring a year, thats an extra thirty thousand deer running around illinois in a ten year stretch. If guns were takin away there would be more lifes lost to deer related accidents as opposed to murders.
Increased gun control laws equals increased car wrecks, increased crime rates, and decreased civilian happiness. End of story
