Backpacking Pants for Outdoor Adventures

February 15th, 2012

A good pair of backpacking pants will keep you comfortable in just about any conditions. In fact, if you do your research right and find a good pair of backpacking pants, you could use them in the heat of summer, when you need to stay as cool as possible, and also in cold winter conditions, when you might need to wear an insulating layer underneath just to stay warm.

One feature that will make your backpacking pants is versatile as possible is a convertible leg. If you are able to unzip the bottom portion of the leg you can expose your leg to a lot more ventilation, which is ideal for summer heat.

At the other end of the spectrum, backpacking pants are made much more suitable for winter conditions if they have a water repellent coating on the exterior, so that they will shed small amounts of rain and even snow.

I Enjoy Playing MMORPG with My Dad

February 15th, 2012

My dad and I love to play MMORP G together. My dad and I have always been really close, my dad is a great guy and he’s always taken me to do things just he and I because I am my parents only child. My dad has always given me special attention. I can remember when I was younger we would go on a fishing trip just me and him once a year for an entire week, and it was one of the most enjoyable things for me to do with my father. My dad and I really like video games too, we used to always play every weekend, and it drove my mom crazy. Last year I went to college, and it was very hard to have to leave both my mom and my dad, but I knew that I was going to especially miss my dad, because he and I were so used to being together. My dad and my mom moved me to New York to go to college and we were all very sad when they had to leave, because I was going to be living all by myself for the first time, and because my parents were going to have an empty nest as well, because I was their only kid. Since I moved I call my mom and dad every day and I let them know what is going on in my life. Apart from that, I also play mmorpg games with my dad once a week. We really enjoy playing mmorpg because it feels like he and I are playing together in the same house, even though we are far apart. I am very happy that I can do something nice with my dad, because it feels like old days, even though we are not in the same home.

The Sculpture Had an Eerie, Otherworldly Look

February 12th, 2012

bonita-fireplace-mantle-01When I was in seventh grade my favorite class was Art. Don’t get me wrong, I did enjoy my other classes as well, but art interested me far more than English or mathematics. In art class I used to like to draw and worked with clay. Pottery had always fascinated me, and it was fun to get my hands dirty making cups and jars on the pottery spinning wheel. Once, I made a sculpture of a dragon with outstretched wings. The dragon had its head reared back like it and roaring. For the eyes I used a pair of translucent red d&d dice to great effect. When the light shone on the dragon’s eyes it gave the sculpture an eerie, otherworldly look. I painted the sculpture in different shades of green to compliment the red dice. Out of all of my art projects that I ever completed, before and since, the roaring dragon was my favorite. In fact, the sculpture still sits on my parents’ fireplace mantle to this day.

Slowing the Rotation of Your Throwing Knives

January 28th, 2012

If you want to slow the rotation of your throwing knives one thing you can do is put your thumb on the spline of your knife. Another way to slow it down is to choke up on the handle a little bit. And yet another way to slow it down is to use what is called a slide release. This keeps the knife from getting the full force of your hand in the rotation when it is released. And if you want you can simply keep your wrist straight and this will also slow down the rotation of your knife. Of course if you throw your knife harder and faster it will have less time to rotate in the air before hitting the target. These are all greatly effective ways of slowing the rotation of your throwiing knives so that you can hit your target with proper angle that will ensure they stick.
