It is a natural continuation of the Today, Yesterday, and Tomorrow blogs. It isn't exactly a week, but not too much longer than that amount of time. I don't expect you to read this but there are some pictures at the end people might enjoy.

Star rambling:

My dad and I went to this area about a 20-30 minute drive away from my house on Saturday. Actually, come to think of it, it wasn't last Saturday, but the one before that. So two weeks ago instead.

It was very windy, there was heavy rain, and it was pretty cold. I didn't bring a coat. About 45 seconds after getting out of our car we were back in it on the way home. Next week we will be more prepared.

Pro tip: Bring more than a t-shirt when you climb mountains in Alaska.

Next week arrives. I bring my winter coat while a small jacket would probably be good enough. I am over prepared and ready to climb this mountain.

We drive out to the area to begin our hike and one of the park managers or whatever said that because winter is pretty much here cars can't go any farther. We decide not to hike there and go somewhere else.

Protip: Make sure you can get to the trail when you go to hike. It helps a lot.

I'll post pictures later in this blog. I'm not that much of a photographer though so don't expect much.

Zoom forward to last Sunday. I wake up for WGT Clanleague only to realize that my team didn't show up. We have given two teams W.O's so far this season

Advertisement; If you want to join [Shock] and play in ClanWars PM me.

Sunday I went to the bookstore to get a few books and movies. I came home with a couple books on Poker and three movies. Rounders was great, Idiocracy was interesting, and I have not watched SuperBad yet.

Realization: As expected, I suck at Poker.

Later that night my Grandfather died. I'm not really sad, but I'm not really sure what to think. It was about time for him to go, and because of other parts of the situation I almost want to say that it was good he died. As cold hearted as that may make me look, it is true. More details on that if you want them.

Monday comes, and I place my bid on a CJ Shirt and buy 3 TL T-shirts. I ordered one on the first batch but I got the size wrong. I hope this makes up for it.

Currently I am the high bidder for a CJ shirt so I am happy. I don't expect to win but my bid has lasted like three days so things are looking good so far.

Last tip for today: When buying clothes online, make sure you get the right size.



Usually I don't make blogs in this style. The majority of my blogs have been asking for help with this or that, and a couple should have been closed right away (Hi Chill ). Hopefully this one is decent enough to stay open for at least a day or two.

The promised pictures:

No but I said I would.

Its a secret attempt to get people to subconsciously rate my blog a 5. Its like, they see that, don't see I am the one that wrote it and think "if he rated it a 5, I will too".


@Raithed : Awesome, thanks.

I cut a couple out because they are pretty similar to the ones I posted, or I realized they aren't too great. (Clouds made it dark cuz they block the sun).

I truly hope this continuation don't end up too far. I mean i wouldn't want to be the one writing "This Year".

5/5 just because those pics are awesome.
Yes.

My god, if someone did write "This Year" it could probably be long enough that we could get Micronesia to publish it for us.

Recall my blog post (don't think it made volume 1) where I talked about my grandmother passing away. It was probably pretty similar. Staying alive longer would have meant more suffering. Nobody wants that really.

edit: I can publish anything that takes up 24 or more pages :D
