I have an idea... Well I think I do...

     I have a plan for a week long blogging event. I will be living homeless for a week. The plan is to go out for a week and just try to survive with minimal supplies; in an area that is near a small island city. Now I know at this point some of you are like, "Why the hell would you want to do that?" and I'll be glad to tell you. Lately, I have been watching shows oriented towards surviving in the wild or surviving after a post apocalyptic scenario. And it got me thinking, "Can I do that?" Most people know that I am an Eagle Scout, and that I took part in many outdoor activities growing up. So I thought, with my knowledge and skills, I could probally last a week outdoors no problem. Of course now after saying that I will be on day 2 and I'll be like, "Damn I want to go home." Ha but I do think this will be a good test for me and it will give me some stuff to write about on The Start. I will be taking pictures, video, and I will be writing everything down. The supplies I plan to take with me are;

- (2) 32 oz. Water Bottle
- (2) 12 oz. Canned Tuna
- (1) 15 oz. Canned Peaches
- (1) Pocket Knife
- (1) Digital Camara
- (1) Bike
- (1) Backpack
- 2,000 Won (Approximately $1.87)
- (1) Toothbrush
- (1) Small Towel

And the clothes on my back; Dickie jeans, a t-shirt, a button shirt, and a sweatshirt. I will have my phone with me in case of emergencies, but it will be only on during the 7th day when I'm heading home. The place that I will be going to is on an island that is about 5 miles from my house. The island has a small mountain that has many trees, so that is probally where I will stay the first night. I aslo plan on not eating the day before.

     The idea of this project is to see if I can live off of the few things I bring with me and what I can find. This is basically a task for me to see if I am capable of doing something like this and something to share with you all after I come back. The day before I leave I will post a short blog about how I feel and my thoughts on what I will be doing the coming week. Ya so if you have any suggestions or survival tips for me let me know by posting a comment down below :D

3 + 3 = ?


     As you can see, on PlayStation Network, I am a level 9 40% with 493 trophies. But only 3 of them are Platinums... I currently have a plat in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, inFamous, and FALLOUT 3. And I'm working for plats in Dead Nation, Dead Space 1, and 2. In Dead Nation I need like 6 more trophies; 4 of which are just playing the game on different difficulties and the other 2 are to finding loot and kill 53,596 zombies. In Dead Space 1, I need to beat the game on Impossible Mode and I am on Chapter 3, out of 12. In Dead Space 2, I have to beat the game on Hard Core Mode and kill a necromorph with every weapon. Hard Core is going to be pain in the ass; reason being is that you can only save 3 times and when you die you go back to a save point. And the other day I tried to see how far I could get and I made it to Chapter 4 and died... that isn't too bad, but there are 15 chapters...  After I beat it on HC, I will be rewarded with the Hand Cannon, which is a red foam finger. Here is some gameplay of what I'm talking about...


     Anyways if any of you want to show off your PSN Trophy Card click on the "Get your Portable ID!" and plug it into the comment section and tell me about some of your trophy achivements down below :D (xbox joke)

Start of April

I've decided to change up the blog a little bit. Im only going to post a few news stories, because I found myself only posting news on the blog instead of creative writing. Which is why I started this blog. I'm persusing a career in writing not news. I have plans on a few projects that I will write about... But ya so look forward to more of a personal blog :D
