Camping


What is it that makes people want to pitch their tent first thing in the morning? I mean if you are going to play a shooting game, is it that fun to just lay there? I used to really enjoy playing Call of Duty but lately there are entire teams camping in certain areas of the maps. I cannot describe how FUN it is to walk around a corner and automatically die only to see on the killcam that there was somebody prone in the tall grass that been aiming down the sights nonstop since the game came out. And when you try to flank that dirty camper there somebody else camping. And what do you know? After THAT camper kills you an airstrike or a helicopter gets called in to further dominate your team. It very annoying and for the most part has made me lose a lot of interest in the game. It still pretty fun and I like the graphics but lately the camping has gotten ridiculous.

folding paper...




Origami is the is the Japanese art of folding paper. Through various folds of a common square or rectangle people are actually able to create some pretty crazy things. Anything from cranes to elephants, frogs to cats can be created with a little patience and maybe a little practice. But beyond that origami has a deeper meaning to me, it reminds me of elementary school strangley enough. While growing up and through going to school someone introduced me to a book that taught some designs and that friend gave me some paper to start with. It was a little stage of my life but tey were good times and i learned some basic designs down (never was that good). Although i do not really remember how to do them anymore it was still fun while i did it.
