My favourite thing in the whole world is mountains. then it is trees from far away.

Forests/woods

Wow Megil, pretty. Also Wolfie and Aki, I too like wolves. Sometimes I'm actually compared to a wolf. I hope it's my cunning, sighting skills and other good wolf-like qualities and not some patch of grey fur somewhere.

I too am also compaired to wolves often (well, typicaly coyotes, but cometimes wolves). Anyways, my favorite thing in the entire world is a nice, long, deep conversation.

Oh, another one of my favourite things on Earth is forests. Especially ones that are covered in dragon flies. They're so cool and pretty, plus they eat mosquitos.

Who doesn't like forests and mountains? To add to that I also like grassy fields. There used to be one behind my house (before i moved) when I was a kid. Nothing beat standing out there during a windy day.
I like alot of adventure type stuff. Sometimes (once again when I was a kid) I would go out and explore the woods around my neighborhood. Me and my friends would often just hang around near a massive fallen tree and make up all sorts of crazy stories and stuff. God I miss those days.
I also like to practice swordsmanship. I am by NO means good, but I still enjoy taking my shunai(SP?) outside and practice my stances and footwork.
Rain is also a must have. Nice, cool drizzles.

Ahh, you reminded me, I love my swords and daggers. I'll put up some links in a second.
Kell-Reevor
Aug 19 2005, 04:07 PM
Yeah, swords are great. I'm not in any way a sports person so I have to rely on my swordsmanship practice to keep myself in shape.
I would really like to get professional lessons... someday.

I used to see golden eagles dive all the time, back before I moved to the Coast and was living in the Sierr Navada mountains. I also saw a California Condor just once in my life, they were magnificent, but something about the dive of that Peregrine just struck a nerve, maybe it was because she literally stopped three feet from the ground. I was looking at her through a magnifying glass soaring really high in the air, then watched the descent until I couldn't follow it anymore, and then bam, she appeared like twenty feet from me with a rodent in her talons.

Wow, that must have truely been a great moment. I remember when I saw a falcoln Dive into the water and come out with a fish. Truely beutiful how they can pinpoint a fish so well. But a California Condor? That's not a very common bird. It's cousin the Andean Condor was once at population count 45 outside of captivity.
DoomedOne
Aug 20 2005, 04:22 AM
Yeah, I was told later it's really rare to see a peregrine pull up that late, what I witnessed was a really, really agile bird, and the condor is the only clear memory I have from when I was five. We were hiking a mountain and saw it perched, I saw it through some binoculars take off, that's all I remember.
EDIT: Seeing it was actually one of the biggest reasons I'm such a big environmental activist.
Red
Aug 20 2005, 04:39 AM
Indeed. I can't say I'm the worlds biggest activist, butt I highly dissagree with destroying hundreds of acres of forest for some stupid uneeded highway or casino that just destroys the earth even more. I'm also against hunting. Well, unless it's very, very controlled.

Do not try to deny mathematical LAW. Once you reach my age, and have gathered as much life experience as I have, you to can make judgements.
Mathematical law does state that though Seinfeld beats Family guy, southpark, futurama and aqua teen combined, ifmyou add simpsons into the mix, it tips the scale in favor of these shows over seinfeld, just barely.

I like Family Guy, Futurama; havn't seen Aqua Teen Hunger Force and The Brak Show to much; and South Park is okay, stupid, but it is kind of funny.
Sienfeld isn't bad, but I just don't watch it much.
and those survays stink they hold there polls in places were the people buy the stuff more or is a stricter town or what not....

I liked every show I listed, I just think Seinfeld is above them. I don't know, something about cartoons... just not as funny as the real thing. Seinfeld is the best show on TV, and that's as true as women being the root of all evil.
Red
Aug 22 2005, 04:27 AM
Actually, I believe that putting places and people into groups, classes, countries, races and so on is the root of all evil and greed, but I think Seinfeld is better than those shows. But combined, I don't know. Hehe, man hands.

The other day we had a mild storm pass through. Lots of clouds, but only a little rain and some wind. I sat on the front porch through the whole thing. Nothing quite like being outside on a windy day with all of that wind blowing through my hair.
