The Bright Side

Things are looking up, internet... Things are looking up.

Also, I would like to share a Mom Quote.

Mom Quotes #1

I am starting a new blog series called Mom Quotes. These are all quotes from my rather hilarious mother.

Today's Quote:

Don't be hatin' "

Hi Q Haiku

Welcome to my blog
This is my one hundredth post
And its just for you

Satisfying Moment of the Day

Guy you haven't seen since High School gives you a second look, and then waits for you to recognize him... which of course, you pretend not to do.

A little eyebrow waggle, a little crooked smile. Do I remember you or not? I guess you'll never know. Mwa ha ha ha ha!

My 2010 Hunting Plans

Don't think for one moment that I have given up on my hunting plans. I am bound and determined to kill something and mount it's head on my wall. Right above my fire place; its going to be great. I have decided that since I have already missed the deadline to go hunting THIS year, I am going to spend the next 11 months preparing myself for my big kill NEXT year. In regards to that, I do have some good news and some bad news.

Bad news: There is no "Elk Hunting For Dummies" book; I checked.

Good news: There is this website: ElkHuntingTips.net

The top thing on my new list of things to do in preparation of my hunting trip is to physically condition myself.

New List
1. Become physically capable of surviving a few days in harsh winter elk-hunting conditions.
2. Learn to shoot a gun accurately.

I decided to make this the second thing on my list because shooting a bull elk is pointless if you aren't strong enough to haul it out of the woods. Its also pointless if you die of hypothermia while you're out there with it. While I don't anticipate having a problem with gutting the elk, I would like to avoid having to crawl inside of it's guts to keep warm like Luke Skywalker.



In light of that I begin my new physical training regiment today. I am using the ElkHuntingTips.net website that I mentioned earlier as a reference. Here is their advice on physical fitness, and it seems logical enough.

Small change of subject. My mother insists that I am not going to kill an elk. -All the more reason to go hunting- her comment:

You can just go to the store and buy a steak."

Quite obviously not the same thing.
Now I have a whole new reason to embark on my hunting trip... spite.

Chicken Pot Pie

Since I can't go hunting this year, I am going to settle for making homemade chicken pot pie...
hmph.

Insert Angry Face

Stupid hunting laws. It's too late to get elk tags. I'm going to look into getting a tribal card so I can hunt WHATEVER I want WHENEVER I want. And pay homage to my ancestors, of course.
