Hey guys!
I was sick as hell, but no H1N1. It was just a nasty cold. Feeling better now.
There are a few things that I learned while I visited my family in Michigan. Of course, if you guys live in the MI area, then you already know some of this.
1. The Amish are crazy! AND they have their own language! I was at an Amish ran grocery store that is up the road from my grandpas house, and Michelle and I walked by an Amish couple, and they sounded like they were speaking in tongue! Aparently its called Pennsilvanian Dutch. Who knew?
2. 3 foot thick ice on a lake will hold a car! I always wanted to see people ice fishing. So one day we went to a nearby town that is known for its big lake. I saw several cars and "shantys" out on the frozen ice! I was told that the ice is thick enough (at 3 feet) to hold up plenty of weight! Aparently there is a big festival called "tilt up town" Where the entire town MOVES ONTO THE ICE! AND THEY HAVE A CARNIVAL COME TO TOWN WITH FREAKING ROLLER COASTERS! ON THE ICE! No thanks!
3. Ihave a family full of gamers! I met many family members for the first time, and they are all AWESOME! All of them play video games. Even my 80 year old grandpa plays the video games on DirecTV's Game Lounge. It was awesome!
4. Washington has an accent. Aparently I have an accent. Many different family members said that I had an accent that they had not heard before. I had no idea that I did, but I guess we do.
5. There are Snomobiles that are faster than sports cars. Yeah, one of my cousins takes pride in the fact that he has a couple of racing Snomobiles. We went riding on them, and they are scary fast! I was going down a long stretch of groomed trail, and decided to floor it, and was going over 120 MPH in a matter of seconds! It was insane!
6. I get home sick. Never knew of this, but I was there for a week, and it was never above freezing the whole time, and there was 10 inches of snow on the ground at all times. I realized that by the time we had to fly back, I was so happy to go home. I loved visiting my family, but I really love Washington, and was ready to come home.
Well, the holidays are over, but I am not sad. I had a good holiday season, and am ready for the sunshine and warm weather to come back!
I will end on this note. I got Darksiders, and its so much FUN! Its not the most creative and innovative game to ever hit the shelves, but it sure is fun to just crush ass everywhere! Awesome game, I highly recommend it.
Well, I gotta go for now, but firsta couple ofquestions, How was your holiday?! Did you get what you wanted?
Let me know. Later!
