Langland's Awesome Thoughts(Extended)
My Christmas December 27, 2009 - 11:08:29
Yep it's now 2 days after Christmas and 1 day after I saw my whole family(with the exception of my brother in Italy). It was an overall good Christmas. I got some cool things like Rock Em Sock Em Robots(yes I really wanted that toy) or Wii Sports Resort. Yes I got some cool clothes too. But mostly I got to see my niece Ellea, whom i never see because my sister just doesn't visit often and I don't always have the chance to go to River Falls(even though that's a changing a little bit). But now this is the biggest surprise. This is a surprise that has given me mixed feelings. Both my older sisters are pregnant. I already have Ellea from my younger older sister. And my oldest Sister already has Sean with my brother-in-law and my nephew Luke whom I treat more as a brother since he lives with me often. This is good and I'm honestly happy for them but it also is going to add a little more stress again. They're both due in August about 3 days apart. August and September are the busiest months for birthdays in my family for some reason. I use to be the only one who had a September Birthday and then Luke came ruined that. But August is really filled. Ellea has August 9th. Sean has August 23, my brother has August 22. Yes this is a really crowded month. So overall I am happy but on one side, I just see more stress coming through all of this and I guess that worries me. I'm probably am going to get a nice talk or get told off for this now. I just now it. - Langland [ Comments ( 0 ) ]
North Dakota December 15, 2009 - 15:51:37
Yeah this is a random thought. I was looking through some things that have happened in my old home while I have been absent. It's sad that few things have changed and I still have yet to visit North Dakota yet. First off, in Grand Forks, they took a face that cheered people up as they drove down the road. In fact this was something that I still remember as well. He was nicknamed Mr. Smiley. He was a Water Tower with a smiley face on one side and a winking smiley on the other. After 9 years of not supplying water, and 78 years of existence, the city decided to take him down and rebuild a Mr. Smiley Jr. a few blocks away. It's sad but I understand why from the reports but it involves many emotions nonetheless. Next there was this Gorilla in Harvey. I have never saw this gorilla but I have always wanted to see him. He was called Og. He was a a gorilla shaped by wires and paper. I guess a storm came in 2005 and destroyed him after years of standing. I am saddened because I have wanted to this gorilla when I lived in North Dakota. The only person i truly blame for this is my dad and his constant stupidity when we lived in the state. I also heard a neighboring town I lived by, Bottineau ND has developed a little as town and has new shops and is now a more economic town. But this brings me into the real point of this blog. I really miss North Dakota. I lived there during my 5th-8th grade years. It was a part of my childhood that I still have. While I still resent the Turtle Mountain tribe that I live nearby still, I have in my mind that I want to go back and see the things I once grew up around. I feel a lot has changed and I want to go back and visit. I have been talking a lot since my Junior year in HS that i want to go back but I never have seemed to ever get it into action. The thing that i really want to do most is finally see the things I never saw when I lived there. I want to see the Peace Garden again(which was 14 miles from my old hometown). I want to visit Medora. I want to see Roosevelt National Park. I would love to the Giant Cow at New Salem and the Buffalo by Jamestown. I miss Devils Lake. I miss Fargo. I miss Grand Forks. I miss Minot. I miss the 2 Air Force bases. I miss North Dakota and I want to go back sometime. I also miss the opportunity to visit Canada regularly too. I hope though that when I manage this trip that I'll be able to round up friends who'll want to see the sites that I once saw and still long to see. Until then it's still a dream to see the UND campus once again. - Langland [ Comments ( 1 ) ]
I am a Hero(I guess) December 8, 2009 - 14:26:36
This is kind of a random story that has happened today. At my college, I am involved in a club called the Campus Activities Board or CAB for short. CAB is actually the committee that arranges the events going on at the college. I myself have chaired 2 comedy shows (Richie Holliday and Rob Little). But aside that we have this thing at CAB called the CAB fare card which you get punches on it. Every 5 punches makes you eligible for a prize drawing at the end of every semester. Now our Semester ends on December 19. A our drawing is the tuesday of that week. We are having a big party and jello eating contest. Alright now you guys are all in for a little secret, jello is my weakness. Crap now you guys are going know how to win me over and you're going to turn me into a duct tape boy like person(only it's Pudding's cousin that you'll use instead). yes I am psyched over this because it's going to be like a pie eating contest with no hands. Now that brings us into what the blog is about. Kat Koos, the chair for CAB this semester, overheard how exited I was over the Jello, she declared me one of her heroes because I am me and she likes that. She says she likes a lot of people but only so many can be hero. I don't know if I should feel special or not. Kat is a very nice girl and very fun loving(but not quite the most intelligent in a few cases). But she said something I recall trae telling me in comment. I'm hard to forget. This is something I still can't figure out. What is it people can't forget about me? SAhe says it's who I am is what she remembers me for. I guess I feel good but it still makes me wonder. I use to live in North Dakota. I also use to go to Shell Lake school when I was 2nd and 3rd grade and then we moved from there to Janesville Minnesota, and then North Dakota by the Peace Garden. I ended up coming back to Shell Lake my freshman year in high school and everyone in my grade still remembered me and instantly, I was popular and this is scary because I use to start arguments with most of these students and they all look at me say only I remember those. Overall, I guess this entry is to say that maybe I'm just hard to forget for many people and maybe I am truly a hero. I've always been a wannabe hero but I never had the girl to save and I guess I finally have. But I'll still work on developing a relationship with this other girl though because Kat is taken by someone else. - Langland [ Comments ( 0 ) ]
Living Life to your Fullest December 5, 2009 - 23:53:12
Today I hung out with an awesome friend of mine. He was a friend who moved away briefly this summer and came back in October. We went bowling, we rented a few movies and watched them(for all the wrong reasons). And we talked about things. He has decided that the past is officially behind him. He says he regretted many things and he no longer wants to regret anything else. It got me thinking. I too feel like I haven't been doing much and I have felt like I am going no where. While my life is heading in a good direction, I feel I am missing something. It took my friend to make me realize, we both need to live our lives to fullest now. Too bad Cosmo Bowling kind of chased us out of that discussion. I say this as I hope I may win this girl's heart. This is a girl I met at Daisho Con and hope I can finally get hangout with her more often. I say this as I hope I can continue my quest to find other parts of myself that are out there. Like the part in LaCrosse that is still waiting for me and the piece of me waiting in the sky for me to dive from airplane and finally go skydiving. I say this as I plan to go on a few trips to awesome places. I say this as I hangout with my friends and do awesome things that I have been wanting to do but never really did it. In fact my friend and I have decided we are going to become heroes to some person who doesn't know who we are and even though we want to be known, it'll be something we must never let other people know. Yes but we will become heroes. I have been wannabe hero for a while and I hope that someday soon I will have that chance. No more being some friends hero for no reason at all(yes that has happened before). So in other words. I think hanging out with my friend tonight happened because I needed to realize something. I hope I can continue to pursue this. But now I need to plot how I can be this person's hero. Thanks Frisbie, you are an awesome and I still can't figure out how you and I get along when we are so different. - Langland [ Comments ( 0 ) ]
My First Entry December 2, 2009 - 18:34:44
I guess I'll make my first ever blog entry as an announcement that Langland is finally blogging. I know it's a shocker but whatever. So I guess I'll lead this blog into an introduction type of deal even though the readers already know plenty of me. I am currently trying to be an accountant. I originally intended to move to Eau Claire after I get my Associates at Wisconsin Indianhead Technical College. But because the job opening I am looking at requires better typing skills. I feel the idea has been shot a little bit. However my dad is a Federal worker at St. Paul in Ft. Snelling. They need accounting technicians(like smaller accountants but not the big guy) regularly. Hopefully my Honorable discharge and possibly a handicap may get me a 10 point rating and instantly a job in the federal government. Now this makes me a little mad because Wisconsin is my home. I'm not a fan of Minnesota(bad experiences every time I visit or when I lived there before). Wisconsin is my homestate. Sure I was born the Bathesda Navy Hospital in Washington DC in Maryland but I was born on Wisconsin ave so Wisconsin is still there. I love this state and I would love to be in Eau Claire because I feel like I'm living closer to my state than I do now. The only other state I would consider moving too is North Dakota but only because I spent my 5th-8th grade years there. Back on the topic. I am a very good finger pecker I can actually type extremely fast when I look down at the keyboard and type away. But I have terrible keyboarding skills. I actually tested out of keyboarding and since they put me in a room and closed the door. I typed away and passed the final test. It was one less class I had to take and I am damn proud of it. Well I guess I'll have to see where things go for me but I ultimately hope that I will at some point live in Wisconsin and actually watch news that focuses on Wisconsin and praises the Green Bay Packers, the Milwaukee Brewers, and Bucky Badger. I want to be surrounded by more Packer Fans and be able to be Packer Merchandise at the shops(unlike where I live). I guess I have made this blog a nice rant or something to point out that I love Wisconsin and want live closer to the heart. Yep that's all. Hope you all didn't get bored by my blog. You guys are going to see more entries and I assure they'll be entries for all the wrong reasons. -Langland - Langland [ Comments ( 1 ) ] |
