Going the Distance

Here is me recording walking down Bourbon Street in New Orleans

    Hello everyone, School is over!  I did enjoy this term, but not having to worry about homework or whatever is a welcome break.  I find it funny that I would post blogs a lot more when I had other homework to do, but once it became an assignment I put off most of them until the last days before they were due.  Now when the blog goes back to leisure writing, I put up a post less then a week after school is out.
    Have you ever heard of the song "Going the Distance" by Cake?  Cake is one of my favorite bands, and that song is such a fun song to exercise to.  Go check it out on grooveshark or something.  I titled this blog after that song partially because I am listening to it right now, and to say that I am "Going the distance" with this blog....  Meaning I am going to keep it going.  I was surprised to see 41 posts when I logged in today.  This one will make 42...the answer to everything!  I never thought I would get this far.  When I started it, I thought maybe I'd do like 10 posts and get bored of it, but I think it is great fun. 
    So here is the deal, I want to make a goal.  If you have been following my blog from the beginning, you know just how good I am at keeping these goals.  Not at all would be an accurate statement.  ANYWAY, I'd want to have at least 100 posts by the time I go on my mission.  I just counted, I have 85 days until I leave.  So that is...58 more posts (after this one) in 85 days, so I would have to post a little more often then every other day.  I can do that.

   If I am going to be doing this, I want to make what I write interesting, and after reading a lot of the blogs in my (former) class, there are a few things I can do to make it more worth reading.  I personally like lots of pictures, even when the writer is writing something that I find interesting, it is hard for me to stay focused unless there are pictures (I'll just throw some random ones in here).  That just goes with the media I guess.  Another thing, is I like hearing more personal stories, not explicitly detailed stories about their first child's birth, but like this one.
    That means I'll have to take more pictures...Which I would do more, but I lost the cable to load them onto my computer.  OK, I'll get a new cord, and do some exciting stuff so I can tell you about it.  Thanks for reading this, here is a picture to keep you on focus.

Here is my R700 airsoft gun, it shoots .4gr bbs at 650+ feet per second...I shot through a wall in my room once.  This is what I use for airsoft competitions.
