New years eve.
Hello all, and happy new year. May all your new years definetly be better then my old one, lol. Actually, I didn't have that bad of a year, I got on here, made new friends, made my new awesome best friend Uri, and got to meet a ton of great people and do very many amazing things, including my trip to Maine! WOOOOTTTTT! I didn't get to see a moose, though. *Sigh* Anyhow, happy new years all^^

Now then, about my fun weapons facts, I watch shows about the weapons and historical places ect, and remember it all on the spot. It drives my parents up the wall, because I could be an Aplus student right now if I wanted to, but I don't want to, lol.

And now, my fun weapons fact: About the barbary corsairs, they were a group of pirates who fought in, of course, the carribean, and many other palces when it suited them. They generally preffered to start out with one well armed fast ship, and build theirfleets from ships they captured, some famous pirates also known as barbary corsairs included, black beard, Red John, and some of the first women pirates of that time.

And now for some Russian weapons facts. Most Russian Weaponry and armor ect. were completly adapted to fighting in the cold, and as such, whenever someone else, who was not used to it, attacked them, they usually either failed to beat their armies, or got halted by the cold. A.k.a, Napoleon. Also, the Russians were major Pioneers in cold warfare, even in 1000 a.d. They specifically bred their horses to run better in the snow, designed hit and run tactics for cold warfare, and made weapons specifically for that kind of fighting. One of the most notable cases is in world war II, when they were fighting with Germany. The German advance was going quite well, but when the winter hit, the Germans were not prepared for it at all. The Russians, however, had their guns specially designed to work excellently in the cold, and their tanks and planes as well. Because of this fact, they were able to easily halt German advances into Russia, and forced them to withdraw. Some advancements of the mideval (Not sure if I spelled that right) age included that they new how to pad their armor, so that they could fight in any conditions and not be cold, they designed bows that would not grow brittle and break, and they even had ways to keep their horses warm. Basically, if you fought the Russians in a winter landscape, you were going to lose. Thus the end of another fun weapons fact^^

*Sigh* I feel really sorry for my dad as of yesterday, because he is so talented, yet he lacked the discipline when he was younger to do anything with it. He could have been a famous musician or wonderful artist now, but he isn't although he is amazingly good at it......Thats why my new years pledge is to stop being such an idiot about myself, and to just try harder at the things I want to do, because I finally realized, griping won't get me any where with what I want to do, but rolling up my sleeves, and just diving headlong into the work will.

Thus ends another post, lol, time to answer questions:

1.Corrine: Where is books a million? I don't think we have one around here.

Question time:

1.Do I seem to know alot about history?

2.How many of you have the feeling you know me pretty well?

3.Do any of you like gardening? *Me*

4.How many of you know what I mean when I say M1 garan?

Godd bye for now all, and may your new year be blessed.
