hello???
hi!
well i have been doing this so much i wish they ahd a few more prompts. haha
yeah that would be nice.
you have to find a way to keep these things interesting i wish country music would be more popular among people our age. i think its such a nice genre of music but for some reason so many of the people around our age really does not like it. country music is probably one of my genres that i listen to when i am in a good mood.
yeah i dont think country music is that bad. i definenently like indie rock the most
i like indie rock a lot too. i think i had to only listen to one type of music the rest of my life it would be indie rock. the reason is because there is just so much in the genre and the genre is so unique. there is not really any restrictions in it. so you have a lot to play with when you are making songs. makes for some pretty interesting music that is not always what you expec youve got to keep things interesting. right?
yeah i guess thats true. indie rock is kind of on its own world. its so different
yeah i am in a pretty weird mood now. i have been going hard for so long. but it will be worth it if im able to keep going.
yeah you have been going strong from the very beginiing
so i am thinking about some fun stuff i could tell you about. i remember when i was little i was always playing with my dogs. so when i would get inside my siblings would always tease me saying that i smell like wet dog. haha so when i got older i stopped playing with my dogs as much. if i was clean i would not usually play with them or pet them because i did not wan to start smelling like them
that is funny. what were some of your dogs names?
well i do not remember all of the dogs that my family but i remember a lot of them. there was maxie. she was a dog that we found on the road on our way home from church. she seemed lost so we took her home and tried to find her owners but no one ever came so we just kept her. after that dog we had turk. he was a black lab. he was a good dog but i remember he was always trying to run away when other dogs were in heat. and that is the reason he was the only boy dog that my family owned. he was kind of a pain compared to some of our other dogs.
it sounds like youg uys had alot of dogs.
oh yeah,we had dogs during my whole childhood. the dog after that what the main family dog. her name was socks. she was a amazing dog. she was so obedient. she would always listen when you gave her a command. she was a awesome dog they dont get much better then her
i love dogs they are the best pets in my opinion. so what else has been going on with you lately.
well i moved lately and now i am living with strangers which is cool because it is nice to be alone sometimes. it gives you a little more time to think for yourself with out as many outside influences. which is actually pretty nice. my new roommate locks the door all the time and it is kind of annoying. i dont understand why he feels the need to lock the door when we live in one of the safest places in pr its makes no sense to me but whatever i gues. he is kind of a odd guy so i am not sure why he does most of the things that he does. he told me the other day that he has a job but they think he is still visiting home and not in utah so they think he is back home but really for the last week he has been sitting at home and just playing vidoe games and hanging out on the couch watching netflix with his girl the other day i cleaned all the dishes and he had left raw chicken in the sink for at least 1 one week. All my roomates were pretty mad at me for doing this... They didn't have dishes to use and so eventually they got fed up and told me to do it
it sound like your roommate lacks a little bit of self control.
I recently saw a movie the other day... You've probably seen it too. It was infinity war. It was over hyped but the movie was incredible!! The villain had great CGI and it wasn't your typical villain where the bad guy is bad to just be bad. He had depth to his purpose for why he wanted to wipe out 1/2 the univers
i actually have not seen it but i have heard so much about it. people have been raving about it like crazy. everyone love those type of movies.
I really think Marvel did a fantastic job with the movie given that they had soooo many actors and actresses they had to try and fit in to the movie. Not the mention the plot really tried to follow the comics out there. The thing that bothers me is that we're in a super hero movie era right now and it doesn't show signs of stopping. It all started about 10 years ago with Iron Man.
yeah they have so many different hero characters that they have to fit into the movies now. they just keep adding more and more people.
Thor was kind of the rolling ball to when it came out but ever since those two series debuted, it's like everybody loves super hero movies.
yeah i would agree. iron man and batman made these type of movies take off
Ever since then, they've been working their way up to the avenger series and it's kind of cool to see all the progress they've made since then but I'm kind of sick of watching
but every movie that comes out people keep eating up the content. so as long as people keep going to see these movies. they will continue coming. supply and demand at its finest
Super hero movies are so typical and predictable. Take Infinity War for example. At the end of the movie they wiped out half of the avengers, But you know for a fact they are coming back in the next movie. There is no way that they are going to just wipe out half the new avengers like Black Panther or Spiderman.
they were kind of cool for a little bit but now there are just too many of them now for me to really get into it.
People would be furious if they did that but deep down inside, I kind of hope they would keep it that way haha. That way we could have some closure.
they usually follow the same format. bad guy wants to destroy something. usually a planet. then the hero comes to stop him. struggles for a little bit but in the end wins.
But you know Marvel still wants to squeeze out as much money as they can from the new series like Spiderman or Black Panther. They still have so much money to make from them
they need to weed out some of the characters. they have way to many main characters for one movie.
Another reason why I don't like the super hero scene right now is because they aren't very original. I mean that in the sense that Marvel has so much content to use from comic
they need to go back to when they only had like 5 with some smaller chacters too.
Disney just buys out rights to whatever they want. If you think about it, Disney is the biggest powerhouse for media right now. They own literally everything.
the comics are pretty cool but i dont think they even use the comics when they are making these movies. and if they are they are not sticking to the story as well as they should
They have movies, they have songs, TV shows, etc, etc, etc.... So literally they can do whatever they want. However, I do know eventually people are going to get sick of them
thats true. they even bought stars wars not that long ago. kind of crazy. theyhave already taken over the pg and pg13 movie scene.
There's only so many super hero movies you can watch before you tell yourself it's boring. I mean think about it... Bad guy wants to do bad things. Heroes try their best but
there does not seem to be very many movies that are rated pg that are not created by disney. haha
come up short. Then they need help and somehow someway they manage to beat the biggest and baddest dude out in the cosmic universe.
kind of crazy how they have managed to grow the empire that big.
There's only so much of that you can handle. But marvel does a fantastic job with their movies. Regardless of whatever I think, the CGI and the movie quality itself is awesome
yeah thats true. the plot is always the same. and they really do not have that much space to vary the story because that is how the comics were.
It's like eye candy almost. You go for the energetic feeling of the movie. It's loud and the scenes are so well portrayed that you fall in love with them.
the visual content is awesome. they have the money to make it awesome. so i guess they will always have that going for that.
However, I don't think they'll stand as one of the great movies once we move on. There's fantastic movies out there from the past that has stood the length of time as... ... one of the greats because it was so artistic in how they used the camera and the story's depth in them.
yeah i guess a big part is just impressing people with the flashy stuff in the movie.
You think about the super hero movies and I'm not sure if people are going to go back thinking WOW what a great movie, especially if you need to watch 12 other hours of movies to get to the final movie they're talking about While I was at the theatres ready to watch infinity war, I saw a trailer for the most horrific movie I think that's coming out. I'm a huge fan of horror and this movie has literally got me trembling. And I only saw the trailer! Crazy right? I've seen so many horror and thriller films but this one is ... the one I'm most excited about. It's called hereditary and from what I could tell from the trailer it's a horror film based on voodoo dolls It's kind dark and satanic and people don't like these types of movies but I love them. Unlike super hero movies they're hard to predict and so I'm not sure of what's coming
dude all of these movies are pretty cool but i think i am ready for a change of content. i really love sci fi and fantasy movies the most. like lord of the rings
People usually mistake horror films for the typical slasher film with blood, gore, and the common jump scare but the horror I like are the ones that get me thinking about it after the movie is done...
that movie looks freaking good.
I've had so movies where the horror isn't horror and I leave disappointed. I want a film that makes me shiver even after I leave the theatre.
its not a movie that would make me jump i do not think but it is one of those movies that makes your skin crawl it just creeps you out mosly.
I kind of miss the feeling as a child when I would be terrified of the dark and I look back to see if anything is there.  I'm hoping that hereditary will make me have that type of feeling I had when I was a little kid.
have you seen the quiet place that is a super good movie
Another thriller film I liked that I saw recently was The Quiet Place. It's an awesome movie that I think everyone should go see.
haha thats funny. i just brought that up.
First off, I love John Krasinski. I know him as Jim Halpert as I think everyone does but he did a great job directing part of that film, if not all of it.
i guess it is a pretty big movie right now
He's go such a talent that I didn't know he had. Everytime I saw him come up on the screen, all I could think of was Jim Halper, Pam Beeseley, and Michael Scott haha
yeah i was pretty impressed seeing how he is just starting out as directing. i thought the movie was way good
But going back to the movie on why it was so great. I loved it because the filmtography, (is that even a word? haha) was so well done.  Every shot was a master piece
well he has been in a few other movie since his time with the show the office. i think he was in a war movie called 13 hours
I'm not sure I've ever seen a movie like that before too. Everything was silent and the intensity never went down. It kept building up and up and my body was tense
and he did pretty good in that movie. at least i thought
It was literally tense from the moment it started. I loved the story too. I really hope there's like a sequel to that or something although I doubt they'll do that
yeah that movie did really good. they made something new. the genre is not a genre that usually has such good movies but they made a unique film they you had to rely on a lot
The kid actors did well too! I'm not usually fond of kid actors just because they don't do a good job of displaying emotion but these 3 did awesome portraying fear
which is way cool. i have only ever seen one other movie that has done anything even closely related and it is an anime film. 2 very different styles. ha
Most people who aren't used to watching horror films get terrified of movies like this but the monster in this film was something you got used too
yeah they did. kid actors now are getting better and better. they start kids acting so young now.
I mean at first you didn't know what it was or how it looked like, especially after it destroys their youngest kid from the bridge but after a while, you get comfortable with the monster
it is actually kind of sad in my opinion because a lot of them are taught to be so prideful at a young age. it is just a dangerous career to push your kid to follow seeing how most of the actors out there do not have a balance in their life.
I mean, it's super gross to look at and listen to and the fear of them doesn't go away but eventually after some time of watching the film, you're like ok, The monster is out and I know when it's going to come. I kind of wish that they gave a little bit more back ground on how the world came to be like that and how the monsters came about. Because towards the end of the film, you could only sense that there was only about 3 or 4. Maybe I'm wrong but that's all I really counted.
yeah it really was not that scary but it was suspenseful. they kept you on your toes during the whole movie. they always had something to keep the show interesting
I really loved how the movie ended too. In the end the father saved his family with the device he created. Even though his daughter was the one that figured it out
yeah in the end i thought there was only 2 left. but since they found their weakness i dont know why they would not be able just to wide them out pretty easy.
At the end of the movie when the mom pumped the shotgun and the daughter was ready to go out with her ear piece, everyone in the theatre was like YEAH!!! GET EM!!!
i mean towards the end they had no problem killing them
It was soo hype My all time favorite movie or I should say movies is the Lord of the Ring series. Those movies are hands down the greatest. First off, I love fantasy and stories like that And second Tolkein is a genius in the realm of creating universes.
yeah they did a awesome job and leaving you wanting more and giving you something to look forward to. i am pretty sure they will make another. but if they do make another then i do not like that they killed the dad.
Tolkein literally thought up everything in his masterful mind and everything is original. Wow talking about this reminded me about going to the theatres to watch the Return of the King. That movie was absolutely hype back then. I remember being so scared by the Ghost King. In fact I fell in love with these movies so much that read the books as well.
i freaking love anything lord of the rings related. people bashed on the hobits but i still thought they were awesome.
The book trilogy is heavy and dense in  a way but they have so much more depth to them. The Lord of the Ring movies are long and their extended versions are even longer But to capture everything Tolkein wanted, it would have to be even longer than it is now
yeah i love these movies too but i do not know if i will ever be crazy enough to read all those books. i am not that much of a reader
And Tolkein's master world doesn't stop with the three books or movies. He's got another book called the simarillion that I haven't read yet.
i wonder if they will ever try to make even more extened versions of lord of the rings. i fell like it would be so hard because they would have to get a whole new cast and it
Apparently, it goes into so much more depth about the world of Middle Earth and how it came to be. It's almost like talking about the creation of the world in the LDS sense.
would be find poeple that could really capture the characters in the series
So after he published the Hobbit and the huge popularity that followed from it, the publishers sent Tolkein a request to write more books and expound on them. That's why he wrote the simarallion. He just sent them the draft copy of it too but they fell in love with his world and demanded more of it. The Simarillion is made up of five different parts. The first part is called Ainulindale and tells of the story of the "world that is" The second part is called "Valaquenta, and describes the supernatural powers and forces that "govern" the world The third part is "Quenta Simarillion" which is the bulk of the book and tells of the chronological events before and during the First Age of Middle Earth The fourth part is "Akallabeth" and it tells about the downfall of the most powerful people in Middle Earth and how that came about. And finally the last part of the book is "Of the Rings of Power and the Third Age" which is what the movies take place in.
i watched a video about this book and it is way cool
So to put it simply, the Silmarillion is like a history book for Middle Earth. It's so cool to see how Tolkein goes into so much depth to describe the world he's created.
super interesting but not going to lie. it seems pretty confusing
I just love reading about fantasy worlds. I love sword fighting and magic. Tolkein puts those fantasy things in a way that isn't so "nerdy" or weird.
in this books they have multiple different tales inside of it.
It's a movie that'll stand against the length of time. It's been forever since they've come out and people still go back to watch these films. My friend and his family always watch the extended version of the Lord of the Rings around Christmas time. It's like a tradition now. I'm almost positive I know every word to the extended version for all three movies because I've watched them so many times. But when a movie is that good, it's almost... ... impossible to not watch them over and over again. It's quite sad that Tolkein didn't get recognized until after his death. Or I'm pretty sure people didn't realize how creative this guy was until it was too late.
this is making me want to start reading all of j r toliens books. i think he is so good at creating a story and really getting you into the world and lives of his characters
The time and effort he put into making this world is absolutely insane. The depth of each character and how they came to be what they are are literally outlined in the Silmara Simarallion
his writing is so impressive. the way he writes is a big part of what makes is books and story so amazing.
I'm kind of disappointed in how they made the Hobbit. I really hate it when they chop the movie in half to make more money. I hoped they wouldn't do that but they did. Regardless they were fantastic films but still, when producers go out of their way to chop a movie in half and not give the people the full story, it kind of makes me mad Have you ever hiked the peaks in Utah? I think there's seven of them in total and I've done like five. The hardest hike I ever did was to King's Peak which is the highest peak It's the highest peak in Utah! It was actually a backpacking trip. It took three days. The first day we had our pack and hiked to the summit. It took the entire day but boy was it beautiful up there. So much green and the trees were gigantic. It was so quiet and peaceful up there.
i have only hiked to one peak in uath but i have done a few other hikes to lakes and stuff like that
You could see and hear everything. No technology to distract you and just being one with nature is a great feeling. The second part of the trip, after we backpacked to the summit, we chilled there for a day, taking a break and hiked up to the peak with just our day packs.
i almost hiked kings peak last summer but the people that wanted me to go with them were running for part of it and that sounded awful.
It was super high up and it was very very cold. Eventually when you start getting to the top, you have to start climbing these huge rocks. You aren't on a dirt path anymore
they hiked up to the top and back in one day. they are one of those weird people who try and make everything hard and competitive. and if i was going to do that long of a hike i wanted it to be enjoyable. not miserable
It's just a huge hill with a peak with very big rocks to climb. It's really dangerous because of how windy it gets up there but if you're careful and not horsing around, It's perfectly safe. So that was the second part of King's Peak. After hiking to the top, we came back down to the summit where our camp was and swam in the pool. Some of us fished but most of us just layed in the pool. It gets really cold up there and the water was freezing but it felt so good on our bodies If you've ever had fresh mountain spring water, you know what real water tastes like. Normally you aren't supposed to drink from the bottom of a stream but because nothing up there is tainted by humans, it's safe to drink from any stream once you get up super high
spring water is amazing.
That was the second day, mostly just relaxing and getting our energy back. On the third day we packed up and headed down.
the best water i have ever tasted was when i was on a hike in california. it was up in the mountains by this mountain lake.
I hate having to go back down because it's almost always more tiring to do that. For some people its harder going up but for me it's always more difficult to go back down. Anyway we made it back down but because we only had breakfast, we were super hungry when we reached the cars.
there was a sping that was almost not noticable. you had to push the gras away and there was a little spring pool about the size of a basketball or maybe a little bigger. and
On our way back we saw a diner in the middle of nowhere and they were cooking up the typical diner food you find and those types of places.
you just stuck your face in it and sucked. it was way good. and super cold
I'm pretty sure the food was mediocre at best when you come down starving from a mountain, only having eaten MRE's for the past 2-3 days, almost anything will taste good
dude i love diners. i love the breakfast they usually serve at diners
At the diner, I had a burger and I swear it was the most heavenly thing I ate my entire life. The patty was so juicy and it was char broiled which is the type of burger I like I think the burger was like 12 dollars too which is super expensive but when you've got a diner in the middle of no where and you know people are hungry
i have never had a MRE. when i go camping i usually just buy a pizza and put it in a ziploc bag and eat that and canned foods
I'm sure you can charge whatever price you want haha.
it is actually not that bad diners can get pretty dang exspensive that is for sure.
Another hike I really like doing in Provo is Sqaw Peak. It's really close by and it's not a hard hike if you're into outdoorsy things. I remember my scout leader telling us a story that Squaw Peak is actually named after a Native American lady who lived up there in the mountains. She fell in love with some white guy I think and the people in her tribe weren't having any of that. Supposedly it's against the rules in their tribe to fall in love with a foreigner and so when they found out the drove her out of the camp and tried to kill her They chased her all the way up to the top of the mountain and she would rather die by falling off the cliff than by their hands so she jumped off lol They say that if you look from far away, the outline of the top of the mountain resembles Squaw, the native american lady, laying down. Kind of interesting but not really haha. I'm just really bored and not sure what to type
yeah i have never heard that story that is pretty cool. but it could just be some guys making up a story to try and keep things interesting
Utah has really beautiful mountains though. It's something I'll miss when I eventually move out to go to a different state.
or you know it could just be that winners right the history and the white man made the indians out to be the bad guys
Yeah moving on...
it was probably the white poeple who killed her
I recently watched the news of a guy named Trevor Blevins. Do you know who he is?
yeah i think that is the game in fortnaite called ninja
He's considered the"fornite guy." He makes over half a million dollars a month from just streaming fortnite on twitch. It's an insane amount of money to be making for playing video games but the guy is doing such a great job.
he is really popular right now. its crazy how much of an effect he is having on the younger community right now
He was on the news once and the interviewers were so negative towards him and were making fun of him almost for playing video games for a living A lot of people don't understand it right now but eSports is becoming more normal and video games aren't being looked down on like they have been in the past
yeah i think it is pretty coll. i saw that he just recently started talking to some buisness sharks to get some advice on how to use his money wisely yeah i think eventually they will become more socially accepted.
I'm kind of glad the Trevor Blevins is the face of eSports right now. The guys has great charisma and he doesn't get flustered when news interviewers are trying to be negative
but i do not think it will ever take over the popularity of sports.
I'm not joking the people were so condescending towards the guy. They were like "People donate you money on stream to keep playing games?"
and i really do not think that it will ever be as lucrative as sports are
But if you think about it these same people who make fun of people watching talented people play video games go back to their home and watch the TV Which is literally the same thing They go home, turn on the TV and pay to watch someone act or sing or play sports.
except half of the people on the tv screen do not have that much talent and overall struggle with being good people.
We could be asking them the same question: "You really pay money to watch some random guy you don't know shoot a basket into a hoop?"
but a lot of the peple who stream are actually really cool and good people.
I'm happy that eSports is gaining recognition. I'm not sure if you heard or know about League of Legends but it's getting quite popular now.
they did not start out trying to become super famous and important. they just wanted to do what they enjoyed and maybe make a little money from it
Huge franchise sports teams like the Golden State Warriors and endorsed eSports and they've made their own League of Legends team called the Golden Guardians. It's almost accepted to be a gamer now.
wait i didnt know that the warriors made a esports team. that is pretty cool
Not to mention ever since Trevor Blevins played fortnite with Drake, the younger generation have found it more accepting to like video games
drake it a hug e icon and getting people like him playing the game sends a lot of other people to the game too
Not only has Trevor played with Drake but other well known celebrities as well like Travis Scott, Lil Yatchy, and football players too like JuJu It's kind of ridiculous to think that you can make so much money off of playing video games and streaming but when you think about athletes who get payed to play their game, it's not much different I don't think streamers will ever earn insane money and get contracts like franchise sports players but I do like the way eSports is headed
it is all just different forms of entertainment.
It's gaining recognition and no longer is it weird or nerdy to like video games. It's almost as if it's weird if you've never played a video game now.
for a perso to act like it is anything different or to belittle the other entertainment is just dumb. it is all about what you find interesting
Hey I was just looking through my phone remembered a funny story I want to tell you about. So my friends and I always take trips to Zion or some national park around Utah during the summer. Last year we decided to go do Angel's landing so we headed down to St. George. We were idiots and didn't plan where we wanted to camp.
thats way cool that even though you lie video games you still know how to get outside and travel around with your friends. that is respectable
We figured we would just kind of find a spot when we got to the camping site but the guy at the booth said it was only reservation and that all the spots were reserved. We were super flustered and didn't know what to do. We drove around St. George for a super long time and we were even tempted to just go to a hotel.
dang that sucks. i ahte camping sites that you ahve to have reservations. i think that is a lame way to do it but i guess it can be nice and also a safe way to make sure you are going to have a place to sleep and set up camp
But a lot of us rejected it and so we went to the church parking lot and and parked the car there. There were four of us in the car and we put the sits down to sleep It was a terrible idea. Trying to have 4 dudes sleep in a tiny car in the back. Late into the night, the cops drove up thinking that we were doing something fishy and shone their flashlights into the car They found the four of us cramped inside the back of the car sleeping and they asked what we were doing.
the cops just doing their job but i bet you were still pretty annoyed haha
We explained that we coudln't find a camping spot and that we just ended up driving to the church parking lot to finally sleep The cop just laughed his head of thinking that we were some homeless kids that had a thing for each other or something. Eventually I got sick of being cramped in the back with my friends so I just slept on the concrete outside. I just set up my sleeping pad and my sleeping bad and slept
i bet he thoughts you guys were causing trouble. it is not very common for people to be parked in the church parking lot in the middle of the night.
The funny thing was we woke up to a BUNCH of cars rolling up the the church. We quickly gathered our belongings and went inside to wash up We realized then that we were at the mission office for the St. George mission and that the missionaries were having a mission conference. All the missionaries laughed as they saw 4 random homeless looking kids walking around their mission office. We went to the bathrooms and did a quick monkey bath at the sinks too
haha that is awesome. they probably thought you guys were just some rogue missionaries that were giving up and trying to quit the mission or something
I guess the female janitor wasn't used to having random people use the bathrooms so early during the day that she just walked in on us washing up She was super flustered and didn't know what to do. She stood there for like 10 seconds before one of my friends was like "can we help you?" She didn't say anything and just left.... Poor old lady We probably traumatized her. Besides that part of the trip, the rest was super dope. We got to Zion's and did Angel's Landing and the narrows.
she probably thought you guys were homeless and she did not know if she should try and kick you guys out. or who knows maybe she thought you were homeless and that if she tried to do anything you guys might try and hurt her or something. she was probably just scared
Angel's Landing was super dope. Probably the funnest hike I've done just because of how intense it gets when you start having to hold chains to climb up. The narrows were beautiful too. We got to walk in the water and do a little hike. Apparently it gets super dangerous because the water can rise up and people drown
everyone talks about those places but i have never been. i really should go though. i have only heard good things about it
They have signs up and close it off for when the weather gets too dangerous but for the most part it's perfectly safe to do in the summer. The Grand Canyon is a sight too if you've got time to swing by to check it out.
well im a pretty good swimmer so i think i would be fine to go there and show everyone my dope swimming skills
They have guides who will take you on a backpacking trip down the canyon for like 3 days.
yeah i have heard about those too.
You have to start in the mornings though because if you want to the beat the sun you have to start in the morning. It gets super hot to be in the canyon that if you don't...
i think if i could go anywhere though i would want to go to nepal and hike around the little towns up in the moutains
... get to certain checkpoints during the backpacking trip, you can be in serious trouble
yeah i bet it can get pretty brutal being down  in that canyon at the wrong time of day
The Grand Canyon is an understatement though. There isn't a word to describe how big it is. It's crazy to think the time and erosion eventually made it the place it is now. I went with my family there and it was a vacation that I'll remember for a long time. I remember having like a twenty five dollar steak at this restaurant but it wasn't beff beef It was buffalo or something like that
i have only ever seen pictures of it. i think it would be a lot of fun to do the hike sometime but i am not going to lie. i think there are a lot of other hikes that i would rather do that sound like a lot more fun to me
It tasted super good though. Very hard to chew and tough but the buffalo steak wasn't like anything I ever had before
a lot of the other beefs out there are tough because for beef to be more tender the cow needs to be well fed, not that stressed and not to old
ever since i was little i ahve always loved hiking. i use to just wander off and when it was time to come home my dad would just whistle for me and i knew it was time to come i always thought that that was funny that my dad when he needed us to come home he would just whistle really loud and he could whistle so we would always hear him from where e ever we were i use to play down by the creek with my dogs alot and sometimes go fishing but usually i would just play fetch or just run around trying to catch crawdads and my dad could whistle fro all the way back home and i could hear him and i would start running home. it was so nice living outside of town. living in the country but not to far out there so that you still have the benefit of town but you dont have to live in the noise is way nice it is too bad that not everyone can live in the country. it is the best way to have a awesome childhood. you never get bored you just make up games and run around
That kind of sounds like me and my childhood too! I loved being outside and hiking was super fun. It's something about being away from everything
i remember when i first moved into our new house outin the country the grass was o tall i could  be standing
Being able to think to yourself in a quiet environment is something else.
and poeple still wouldnt be able to see the top of my head. so i would go in the grass and make little forts and no one had any idea where i was hiding in the grass. when i was little i made forts all over the beighborhood. i remember one fort i had was in my neighbors bush. the bush was pretty big but we jsut wentinside the bush and hollowed out all the branches that we could and set up chairs and we would play card games in there and eat candy. that was such a simple time and such a fun time. me and my friends in the summer all we did was going swimming and play video games. where i am from it gets so hot so if you are outside all you want to do is swim so if we were outside we would swim. and being inside is boring so we would play video games to pass the time. which was pretty fun too. we use to play so halo it was insane. the game when it first came out was like a total game changer in the vidoe game world
Dang sounds like you had a good childhood. You seem pretty brave as a kid too haha!
i remeber when they first started xbox live. it was so awesome that you could now play with other poeple that were not in the same house as you. it was so fun because it connected you with your friends that didnt even live close to you. but honestly at first you were considered one of the lucky few if you had xbox live now everyone has some type of gaming console and playing online is jst normal and expected but back they it was so cool if you ad internet on your xbox which ever friend had it was were all the friends would want o go to hang out. we use to ahve these huge parties where we would hook up the xbox through a cable and we would play together but im different xbox but also we would still be in the same room. you just called them halo parties and everyone knew exactly what you were talking about. they were such a fun way to get the friends together and just have a blast eating food and playing the best game ever halo is so funn to look back on. it was such a amazing game for its time. it was the pap bear and set the path for all the games that are so big now.
Halo was such a great game I loved playing that game with my friends too The song and soundtrack in that game is intense I get goosebumps whenever I hear that music
