Equine in a Sense

Equine -

of, relating to, or affecting horses or other members of the horse family

Quick! Start listing everything you know about horses!!: (Am I even allowed to put a colon right there?):

Zebra

Horse
Zorse!
Zonkey! (I've actually seen one)

Donkey

Mule

Burro (legit that is equine)

PEGASUS!!!!

UNICORN!!!!
Narwhal??!!?!?!?!? Haha, psych, that's just a sea-unicorn

Narwhal

Ok yeah, that's all I know. Well, at least all I feel the need to list right now. Half tempted to just lay my head on the desk, close my eyes, sleep. Yeah, no that's not ok! That's a dream that would be to good to be true. 

Sorry for Poor Image Quality

Soo....horses aye? Yeah I don't know what I'm thinking. My brain realizes it's the end of the year, thus it begins to slowly shut down at the prospect of summer. So here are a few pics I drew of horse-related creatures. 

 

 

 

Yeah, I had to draw the Unicorn for class. French class no less. The story behind it? We had to write a story with vocab from our (obviously) vocabulary unit. So what was I to do? Be a stereotypical teenager and write something about a unicorn. Yeah, whatever.

So it's spring, which means shorts and t-shirts, sandals, the prospect of summer.....man just 21 more days till school is out!!!! 22 if you count today, (which is Tuesday though I probably won't actually post this blog till like thursday or something) Does anyone know how to set up a little count-down-thingy-ma-bob? Cause they should totally show me. And no, MY IDEA! No one takes it! I shall have the countdown to the last day of school!!! Mwuahahaha (Insert really deep evil laugh)

Jeez, sorry, I am all over the place today. My mind is going in a million directions. Like literally as I type this I'm thinking about the karate practice I had yesterday, how I have soccer practice tonight for the first time and I haven't practiced in like six months....Yeah I'm screwed!

Yeah, I'm Dutch which makes this even better

Hey since it's spring maybe I can actual go around town and like do art-ish related stuff!! Like play violin, be a mime, you know, the usual!

Well, music is calling my name, so is procrastination....see ya!

Oh check out this cool blog by a friend of mine, you don't have to, you just should.

 

From Spring to Winter to Moose and Back to Spring

Ok, ok i'm sorry i'm doing another post about moose. Haha, yep, no i'm not. So I finally decided to get out and about and walk the town, see the world. And upon this venture, I discovered that even when it comes to construction, there are still moose! Left and right, right and left. Up, down, diagonal to diagonal. Even from Yes, to No.

Fabulous Shadow of Me Taking Pic

So, moose on construction fence. As well as a biker, and your typical PC Miner picks. You know, way back when mining was a thing. Yeah, that got way too mainstream for us. So we turned into a ski town.

Oh Look! Another One!

And here is another part of the fence that is located a bit farther down. As you can see, once again a moose and biker. As well as what I believe to be a skier.

Ok, so based on my blog title, you must assume that I am going to blog about the ridiculousness about the weather here. Well you know what, I am. I don't care if you don't like it, but I am.

So one minute the weather is all like "Yeah I give up with snow. I will give you an early spring."

Fabulous Snapchat Picture

Then my reaction, as well as my family's, is "YES! Finally! Time to try out new soccer ball." Don't know if you can tell, but this is the design for the Brazuca ball. Albeit it is in different colors. Well, that day would've been an amazing practice day for me and my brother, had the rugby team not taken the good field. However, that is a pretty cool sport, just not when it intervenes with mine. So then, about four days later, Jack Frost decides to come to town.

And yes, I did just post a picture of Jack Frost from Rise of the Guardians. Then it snows again! Three days in a row! Including this morning! Now I'm happy that it snowed, hopefully it will prevent a drought since Colorado and the East Coast seem to have stolen our snow. But then, it warms up to about 50º some degrees in the afternoon. With this dramatic change in the weather, I discovered this in my back yard.

Yellow Crocus

Normally these flowers are a sign of spring right? And yet, my mom is still going to make me go skiing tomorrow on nec bene nec male/comme ci comme ca/so-so snow. Grrrrr......

Wow, did I go overboard on the pictures? eh, nah. I would post more, but then I take it people would get fed up with all of the meese/moosen/moose. Oh wait!!! I have to post this one last one! Because instead of my town being obsessed with moose, the moose seem to be obsessed with my town/neighborhood.

Moose in Yard!!!

Yep, today two moose decided to invade a yard, the one that borders mine. In fact, as I look out my window, I can still see them camped out. Well, looks like they made themselves comfortable. So they have been out there since around 4:00 PM I want to say. Wich is awesome, yet at the same time a bummer. So of course that meant my little brother and I couldn't shoot hoops, nor could we let the dog out for fear of the moose charging us. That may not seem like a big deal to any of those who have never seen or grown up with moose, but trust me, it is terrifying!!!

Up Coming Events

Anyone excited for the winter olympics coming up? Or how about the Super Bowl? Anyone up for World Cup Soccer?

To all of those Football loving Americans, the Super Bowl is on Sunday! As you should know- which I didn't and ended up asking a friend. The result being making a total fool of myself!! So anyhow, the game that will be commencing is Seahawks vs Broncos at 6:30 pm. And according to this website, we have 2 days, 1 hour, 2 minutes, and 20 seconds until kickoff. Of course the time is ticking down as I type this.
Go Broncos!

The Olympics of 2014 are being held in Sochi Russia to any of those who didn't know. They begin on February 7, 2014. And this year Nordic Ski Jumping for women is finally being introduced! One of my previous teacher's daughter is competing! She will be among some of the first to ever ski jump in the olympics as a woman!

Nordic Ski Jumping is quite the sport. Hurtling down an angled track to end up flying straight off a jump! You go flying through the air, sailing quite a few feet if you get enough momentum! How would I know this? In the past as a part of the P.E program, my grade got to experience this wonderful sport. You feel as if you're flying! Of course you have to stick the landing. If you don't, yard-sale!!!!!

World Cup this summer! Anyone going to Brazil? I have a few friends who are, and I'm so jealous! I guess I have a little token for the match however; the T.V and a model of the new Brazuca soccer ball. Well it's not mine per say, my sister's really. But hey, I can borrow it on the occasion...right?

Germany looks like they will do pretty well this year, they have new players that are really pulling the team together. I personally will continue to root for the Netherlands. Brazil and Spain of course are doing well.

January 31st, at last! January just seems to drag on and on! In my opinion it is the longest month of the year. There are no deadlines in January, New year has passed, and everyone is just trying to get their feet under them. All of my teachers seem to want to repeat the same lesson, over and over again. Well good news is Winter Break is coming up! A time to relax, ski, and forget about school. Just two more weeks away. Unfortunately, Science Fair is just around the corner. Needless to say, I still have a ton of work to do.
