The Cottage

    My family's cottage is one of my favorite places on earth. It's located in Warsaw, Indiana on Winona Lake. It is almost a two hour drive from my house, one of the most boring drives in existence. Seriously, once you get out of my subdivision, you hop on route 30, make precisely three turns and you are in the driveway of the cottage. Despite it being an incredibly boring drive to get to it, it is such an awesome place! A creek runs right it front of the house and you get an excellent view of the lake. It's in a pretty low-key small town, but it provides plenty of things to do in the summer.

    Some of my favorite activities to do there are going fishing, playing some pickup basketball, and getting ice cream at the shop downtown. I also love just hanging out with family there. My parents are part owners with my dad's sister and a couple of his cousins too so there a bunch of people we always go with and we're all pretty tight so that makes it even better. I plan on heading up there at some point this weekend as there will be a couple of my cousins out there with their kids. I gotta get out there as much as possible before the season ends and we have to shut it down for the winter. Only a little while left for that to happen.

Indiana

      I have lived in Indiana my entire life. Well I can't  necessarily call it actually Indiana because I've been in The Region the entire time. For those of you that don't know, The Region is the little area of Indiana that is just across the border of Illinois, that is still technically a suburb of Chicago. We pay less taxes and we still get all the benefits of living by a big city. It's a nice place to live but we're still behind Illinois in a lot of things.      I am on a bus ride going to Louisville right now so we're taking a nice trip through the rest of Indiana and it is  boring to say the least. We're not even 20 minutes out of The Region and it's already all farmland. Indiana is a very boring state. This is going to be a long ride all the way through Indiana.      I would like to move out of  Indiana at some point in my life. I really like to travel and there are several places in the US I would love to move to. A co...

Icarus

    Icarus poster picture         This week I had to watch a documentary for my English class. We were able to choose from a number of different ones, but the one I was most interested is one called Icarus, as it was highly recommended by my boss. I really enjoy documentaries, so I am happy to report this one did not disappoint and I would highly recommend watching this one to anyone. It starts out with a man named Bryan Fogel interested in seeing how much doping would help him in cycling. He starts searching through a number of doctors until he comes across one that works for the anti-doping agency in Russia named Grigory Rodchenkov. Very quickly we learn that Russia is not playing by the book and many people start coming forward claiming they have a systematic doping system in place for every major sporting event, especially the Olympics, fully equipped by the government, with Rodchenkov being the key piece in all of it. Fogel helps hi...

Fantasy Football

    Fantasy football is something I've done for many years. It's something that's a lot of fun, but gives a lot of people a lot of stress every Sunday in the fall. Right now I am in four different leagues and three of them are for money. It's not a ton of money at all, but it makes sure everybody in the league stays involved and active. I have friends in all of my leagues because that's really all that matters to me, just to have fun with my buddies. This is the most leagues I've ever been in so its a good amount of work to keep up in all them.      I am doing pretty well right now though. I am in second in three of my four leagues and in my other league I am still projected to make the  playoffs. That can change at any time though. Just last week in one of my leagues, I had my best player announced that he would miss the rest of the season with a foot injury so that will probably screw me for the playoffs. There is definitely money involved in that le...
