Hi, Welcome To My Blog!

We lose ourselves in books, we find ourselves there too.

God made the horse from the breath of the wind, the beauty of the earth, and the soul of an angel.

Is Bowling A Sport?

       There has been an appeal to make bowling a sanctioned sport. I don't bowl much, but I consider bowling a sport. To me sports are an activity that can provide entertainment and are usually competitive. I think bowling should become a sanctioned sport.

Computer Chipped Brain?

Ok so my blogging assignment is:


It has been reported that by the time we get to iPhone 12s that you will get a computer chip implanted in your brain so that you can receive texts, listen to music and search Google from the comfort of your head?
Would you want the iphone to be implanted in your head and what 3 apps would you put on it even if you decide not to implant it.

Here is my answer: 

I definitely do not want a computer chip in my head. My number one reason is that someone would eventually find out how to hack the chip or put a virus on it. Then they would be in control of me or could read my thoughts. Another reason is people could call or text me in my sleep and wake me up. Although listening music would be fun. But my answer is still no thanks to the chip. The three apps I would choose are Pandora (music), Touch Physics (game), and an app where I could get books and read them.


So No, I do not want a chip in my brain. What would you choose and why? Comment and tell me your answers.

The Homosassa River in Florida

 I have been to the Homosassa River twice now. Which is located near Homosassa Springs, Florida. Both times we snorkeled with the manatees that come up the river. I love going there and would love to go back there again. you can get manatee tours and can swim with the manatees. Manatees are very large, but they are also very sweet, curious, and harmless. They are very friendly and will come close so you can pet them.


Facts
  • The river is very clear and stays about 72 degrees fahrenheit. 
  • Homosassa Springs got its name from the Homosassa river. 
  • Going in the fall and winter months of October through April is the best time because are lots more manatees. During the warmer months the manatees are in the ocean, but when the ocean becomes cold they go up the warm rivers. 
  • They are the West Indian Manatee. They are usually grayish in color and an average adult grows to about 9.8ft long and weighs about 800 - 1200lb. But they can grow to 13ft and weigh over 3000lb. They live about 60 years old.
  • Manatees have very keen hearing, but when they are sleeping they are often hit by boats that are going too fast. You will usually see scars on the manatees where they have been hit.

I love swimming with manatees because they are amazing animals and very friendly. I recommend that you go to the Homosassa River to swim with manatees. (The Crystal River is not good.) A few weeks ago we went to Florida and swam with the manatees for a vacation. They are amazing animals.

5 People I Would Like To Meet

Here are 5 people I would like to meet or be friends with.


  • Christopher Paolini - Because he is a great author and I loved the Inheritance Cycle.


  • James Patterson - Another great author and I loved the Maximum Ride series. I can't wait until the last book comes out.


  •  John Flanagan - Again because he is a great author and I loved the Ranger's Apprentice Series.


  • Rodney Atkins - great singer and has great songs


  • The Band Perry - They have amazing songs and are great singers.

Some Things You Don't Know About Me

Here a few things you might not know about me.


#1- Until second grade I used to hate reading. But after second grade and now? I LOVE it! Reading is one of my favorite hobbies.

#2 - I have won Youth Pinto World Reining in Talsa, Oklahoma twice now on my reiner Mr. Smoken Valentine (Smokey J).


#3 - I kind of like school and homework because they help me learn. And I like learning.


#4 - I don't watch TV much.  The only shows I watch are The Mentalist, Castle, NCIS ( the regular one NOT Los Angelos ), Hawaii 5 0, and maybe a few shows on animal planet or something like that.


#5 - I don't know who most singer, actors, etc. are. When someone tells/asks me about someone famous, I usually end up saying "Who??" Then they look at me like I'm crazy. =) I don't usually don't care about who a famous person is unless they are an author.


#6 -  I usually only listen to country music. Although I am starting to find new songs, that are not country, that I like.

#7 - I like things to follow a pattern or make a pattern somehow or make them match in someway. And I like to keep my notes very neat and organized. Although sometimes if I'm writing to fast, my notes don't look very organized or neat.

 
#8 - I HATE choosing favorite things, especially when it's a favorite book or song. I usually don't have a favorite. I just put something down. Although some favorite series are the Ranger's Apprentice, Maximum Ride, and the Inheritance Cycle. There are MANY more I could add to that list.


There are some things about me you might not have known.

Champis - The Sheep Herding Bunny

There is an article on Teen Tribune about the 5 year old bunny named Champis, who has become very popular. Champis herds his owners sheep like a sheepdog. They think he learned his skills after watching well trained sheepdogs work. This bunny is so cute! It's amazing how the sheep actually listen to him and not hurt him, even though he is so tiny. He is not afraid of them at all. Champis is adorable.
