   blahdy blah blah
I'm doing that thing I don't like, posting everyday just to avoid work. What do I have to say that is so important that I must waste the infinate space provided by the internet?

Wow, that last sentance was a little too...refined for my taste. Um, so, nothing really important to say. I'm bored. I've just spent the last few hours doing as much research on falconry as I could. In the television show I've got a character that has a falcon and I was looking up different kinds. I decided on the gyrfalcon because I thought it was awesome and pretty. So, doing more research on the raptor, I found links to falconry. I feel stupid to admit that I didn't know people still did falconry. I thought it was a dead sport, and a shame that it was, because I always did love hanging out with the wild life raptor guys at my dad's work fair thingy. But, behold, falconry is very much alive and in breeding trained falcons it's helping with conservation. So, I've been doing research, I visited about fifty different sites, some in Spanish, French, Russian, Czech, and Arabic, making it very entertaining. And at long last i can tell you, the poor people who read my nonesence ramblings, or even glance at them, that along with signing up for a few martail arts lessons, I'll be learning falconry. In a few years, maybe less if I get organized, I'll have my very own gyrfalcon.

I'm terribly excited about all this. I'm realistic, though. I know that I've got to get a good job, get through school, and get a place of my own, but I can wait. It'll be totally worth it in the end. So, here's motivation to stop aiming for those 'C's. I guess this means I'll have to actually open a textbook. Oh well, I knew deep down that I couldn't fake my way through all my education. I guess I better get to work. Ah, if only I would just turn in that story. Oh well.

If anyone wants to see pictures of gyrfalcons, flickr has some good ones. Or just search for them in pictures. White is very popular with them as they are the only white falcons. I kind of like the silver and black ones, but the white is stunning.
