The Screamin Eagle

So when you read the title of this post your probably thinking about the roller coaster at six flags. That however, is not the case. The Screaming Eagle is the name of my most favorite possession; my car. I drive a 2002 Yellow Mitshibishi OZ Ralley Edition Lancer. My favorite part of my car is the audio. I have Boston Acusstic speakers all round, Boston accustic tweaters, and all of that being pushed by a 550R Pioneer amp. I also have a 12 inch Alpine type R sub in a single ported box, and it is getting pushed by a 650r pioneer amp. Basically what all that means is my car gets pretty loud. Speaking of loud, I also after an aftermarket exhaust system installed. Its not just a muffler, its a whole system, meaning instead of sounding like a whinny rise burner it has a deep purr. There are a couple of other cars in the area I spot now and again, but there is a couple of ways you can distinguish weather or not it is my car. On my back windshield there is a GIANT yellow decal of the Mitshibishi Symbol. I also have tinted windows, but by tinted I mean purple tinted windows. You might think there a little fruity looking but it stays nice and dark in my car when the sun is blazing down on you. Currently I also have a huge spider web crack on my windshield due to contact my best friend's head, but that another blog for another day.

Well that's the run down on The Screamin Eagle, if you see me around town give me a honk.

Summer

As the school year starts to wind down, i find myself less and less motovated to do things that are school realated. The weather is just so nice it's got me all rilled up for the summer. My favorite part of summer is knowing that i can sleep in and hang out with my friends most days of the week and not even have to worry about school. Not only that but the weather. I love warm weather and having fun outside in the sun. What my high school buddies and I do every summer is play softball on tuesdays and thursdays. Its a great time and a great way for old friends to stay connected. There's nothing like that first day of summer when everyone is finally back from school and everyone seems to be running in to each other and there's always something to do. Till then......

Guitar

One of my passions off the ice is playing guitar. I started playing guitar in the seventh grade and am still playing seven years later. I bought one of my friends brother's old squire strat and amp for seventy five bucks. That guitar is long gone but i still love it all the same being my first guitar in all. I play a funky mix between alternative rock, acoustic, and pop rock. Its kind of my own genre my friends say, that's just how it comes out when i put the pen to the pad. I don't play a lot of cover songs by popular artist, although i do play some, for the most part i just play my own material and i have a tone of it and I am constantly generating new material. Iv been in a couple bands and played a handful of shows, but nothing beats playing your own music that all your friends know the words to and sing along sitting outside around a bone fire with nothing better to do on a Thursday night.

Facebook

The social networking site that has pretty much taken over the internet as we know it, Face book. I love face book and would probably be lost without it. The first page i see every time when I open my browser is face book (it's my homepage), and all my status updates, comments, and other updates are sent strait to my phone for me to respond to. Just when everyone thought myspace could not get any bigger, here came face book which took online blogging to a new level and created a class of it's own, social networking. I think social networking is an understatement, face book should be called anything and everything about me can be found here dot com. Although this is very true I still am addicticed to face book and can't wait to show my grandson one day how to recover his lost password on face book for the first time.

Pole Vaulting

So track season for high schools in this area began about 2 weeks ago. I am not in high school, why do I care ? Last year i was a senior at Columbia High School and decided to run track kinda spur of the moment. I ended up being semi decent, especially for not having ever run high school track before. I ended up running the 400 and pole vaulting. I soon feel in love with pole vaulting and all i could do was think about it. It became clear to my coach that i loved to vault and i knew what i was doing. I ran into my old coach about 3 weeks ago and we got to talking and he asked me to come out and help him coach. ever since iv been coaching the vault team and I am having such a great time. Our first meet is today, WISH US LUCK !

Blog Repot #2

So over the last couple of weeks its been pretty hectic and i have not been able to post near as many new post or comments. i do however still enjoy blogging. its a great way to highlight fun, cool, and intresting things in your life, not only that but you only need to say it once and its on your page for all to read, its not something you have to continually repeat day in and day out. I think the commenting is one of the most fun parts of blogging becasue it gives you a chance to give feedback on someones blog or in genaral just give some type of insight on their post. I find my self commenting on Jim's page alot because alot of his post deal with hockey and our season. I do however like to comment on other peoeple s blogs when its something Im intrested in like sports, some blogs however just do not appeal to me and I can't comment on thier actual post but usually I still like to throw in a "good post" or "very intresting" Everyone keep up the good work and have fun!

Jim Wilderman Unleashed in The Windy City

It was game 2 late into he third period of our final game of the season. We were down four goals and knew it would take a miracle to pull a win out. At this point in the game we were playing for pride and not going down without a fight, literally. With about four minutes left in the third period there was a scrum (pushing and shoving) in front of the net. As a hockey player you know when a fight is going to happen. It’s the way two players get in each other’s faces and the way shoves are given to the chest of the other guy. This was exactly what was happening. The whole bench was quiet and motionless as we watched this develop and how the player we all would never have guessed to drop the gloves, started in the process of developing a fight. We all saw it coming as it happened and when Jim pulled off his helmet and threw his gloves aside, our bench erupted with screams and shouts of encouragement. A shot here, dodging up and down, yanking jerseys, the faint and the definitely recognizable sound of a fist smashing in the jaw of an opponent. That quick it had started and that quick it had ended. Jim was obviously then escorted to the penalty box as our team rooted him on and yelled on congrats at him. A definite morale booster to our team, and Jim's first win in his first junior hockey fighting career.
