Miles Christi this Saturday

Last night  recieved a call from the order of priests nearby us known as Miles Christi. And like last year, they are holding a Fellowship Day for all the "veterans" of the Miles Christi Camps and any other people who wish to come. They have confessions, talks, adoration, films, and the biggest event of the day, airsoft! Considering the name of  their order is Miles Christi (Miltary of Christ) I think it appropriate don't you? :P

So, we want to go, as David and I are "veterans", and are probably going to! Fourtunately I just got my AK74 and P226. Can't wait 'till tomorrow!

Concerning Piano Lessons and Compositions

Piano Lessons... hm... what could be said on the bright side... Ah yes! I learn to play maginificent pieces such as the itsy bitsy spider! lol. Just kidding. I haven't played that one yet... :P No, I actually kind of like it. Also, our recital is coming up and was commanded to finish composing the piece I've been working on and to play it for the recital. So, I have. As a few of you know, I mainly compose pieces which could be used in movies. So, I have composed a piece which would serve as a modern day film's main title. All rights reserved. :P If we ever make a modern day film I could use it, but until then it's up for grabs if anyone wanted to use it... I'm going to film meself playing it and post it whenever I have the time, and I need some good critics. Lol. Also at this moment, we are thinking of Grail Lords and whether or not it will be possible. Lots of complications. Mainly financial. Oh boy... producing is fun... >:(

Of Dandelions and Operation: Viper

I hate 'em. We literally have MILLIONS of dandelions growing on our 5 acres of grass! They're everywhere! Buggers... Luckily, the ducks and geese eat them, but not all of them. SO we're stuck with the millions they don't. We'll probably have to mow them down! With guns! I wish... So, later today we're hoping to have an airsoft game and/or film our squad, as I said earlier, to give you an idea of what are squad is. Also, my AK74 arrived yesterday and it works great! Can't wait to play Operation: Viper which I've been planning for quite some time... It will be a game between US Army Delta Force and a home defense team. Delta must capture 3/4 packages and move them to extraction point. So far, we have temporarily put everybody on teams and it's looking like I'll be on Alpha Squad in Delta Force. Can't wait! For some readers of my blog who don't like airsoft, my apologies for rambling on about it, but it just happens to be my favorite sport...

So anyway, can't wait to see if we can do Viper, and I hate dandelions.

My Birthday

Yesterday was great! We went to early Mass in the morning then headed home for a meal of eggs, gravy, bacon, etc. Throughout the day we ate snacks, took walks, played volleyball, opened some presents, and viola! An awesome Birthday. I recieved my WE F226 Gas Blowback, and it's awesome! This week we'll be filming and taking pictures of the Knight's Templar Elite so you will see us in semi-action. My AK74 I ordered along with 4 extra mags should be arriving tomorrow. But anyway, yesterday was grand, and I gotta run. Bye!

Airsoft War Action Polska Marine Corps Team in Scotland HD

I couldn't post this along with my orecent post, so I am posting it seperately. You probably have to watch it in full screen.

If this doesn't convince you that airsoft is awesome, then oh well.

Long time no see... or hear... or read...

I know, I know. I'm a little late. Homeschool standard time. I have been retired from blogging for a while... since December it would seem... other then Lord and Lady... but, I HAVE COME BACK TO LIFE! Or words to that effect... So, I'm back. And back I will stay!

As of late, we have been swamped with school, lent, Easter, films, and, funnest of all, airsofting! I love that sport! Some call it strikeball, or softnose, but that's what we've been doing. As you know, our squad was formed sometime in December when we each received our camo and each received our call signs: Abbot, Deacon, Monk, and Reverend. Since our squad is called the "Knights Templar Elite" we thought it appropriate to use religious names, as the Knights Templar were a military religious order. Airsofting is awesome! Don't believe me? Oh well. Anyway, that's what we've been doing alot of. Recently, I sold my old JG MP5 MOD5 and bought a Dboys AK 74 which should be arriving sometime soon. Also, for my birthday, this Sunday, I will also be getting various other airsofting equipment. Fun!

So, other then airsoft, we're having a movie night tonight with our friends and that should be a blast. Still don't know exactly what we're going to watch though. One thing I absolutely detest about movie nights, is they usually have to be on Fridays... Fish Days... 'tis a downside. But, my hope is unstirred that my Mom is the best non-meat chef ever.

I also read the Silmarilion for the second time. Understood it alot more this time. I think there are parts which need to be made into movies (Beren and Luthien or the Fifth Battle of Bereliand), but overall, the book is so good, no one could some of the magnificent parts justice. ESPECIALLY not Peter Jackson. Everyone always says "Peter Jackson is the best director ever!" ...not to trivialize Lord of the Rings or how great it was, but Jackson is a horror movie director. Many parts or shots inside of LOTR could have been cut out (E.g. the orc head on a spear, the breeding scenes, etc.). Again, not to say the movies are bad, which would be false, but I just find it annoying when someone has to says something about a good director and immediately thinks "Peter Jackson!" Well... that was kind of rambling on...so, back on subject, I love that book.

Weather has been quite nice this year. Winter was mild and Spring came early. Love it! I truly hope that repeats itself. But I doubt it. Gotta go!

The A-Team: Film Review

Yes, I have been busy and haven't been posting for a while. Most of the time I've been busy with the final stages of The Crusader's Tale, but I'm done now. So, on to the review.

I loved it! Awesome! Amazing! I have to give it 4 stars! Firstly, the plot was probably a 4 star plot and not a 5 star, which is pretty good! It was action packed! And I like that!

Second, the acting was 5 stars! Liam Neeson is one of the best actors in Hollywood, other then Russel Crowe.

Thirdly, the screenplay and music was amazing!

I love remade films which keep alot of the aspects from the original. The music was still the same, Face, unfoutunately, was still Face... which is a little bit of a sad thing. Murdock was... nuts... B.A. was still the guy you don't wanna mess with. And Hannibal was ALOT better then the original Hannibal as he didn't call each and every bad guy a "slimeball."

The reason I can't give it 5 stars is because the language needed to be cut down. The last thing I want to see during an aweosme firefight, is cussing drowning out the sound of gunfire. Also, Face, as I said, is still a womanizer. They needed to cut it down a little bit, if not cut it out alltogether.

All in all, I would recomend this film if your ok with intense action, but, unfoutunately, you can't get rid of the language. So, if you wanna see this film, just know it's in there. Also, if you have watched the original A-Teams and found them to be a little lacking, then this is the film for you. And I'll just close with,

"I love it when a plan comes together..."

Merry Christmas & Happy New Years!!!

I was planning on taking pictures and posting them in my Christmas Post, but I couldn't. So, I'll have to do without it. So, Merry Christmas!!!!! I, indeed, had a glorious one! With much airsoft, fencing, and board game fun. We attended the Midnight Mass and then opened our gifts the next morning. Now, for today, Happy New Years 2012! I still have yet to make a New Years Resalution, but I will think of one. So, again, I say, Merry Christmas and a Happy New Years!!!

One More Day 'Till Christmas!

Can you believe it!!! 'Tis time for my annual christmas video!!!! It is here:

Christmas!!!! In 1 week!

You're kidding! Oh boy! I better hurry up wit stuff! Wasn't it Thanksgiving yesterday! I gotta catch up with stuff... But at least we're off of school! Wahoo! I don't know why, but holidays seem to sneak up on me... Grrr... Well, I don't really mind since they're fun anyway. Although, I seem to enjoy waiting for the holidays! You know what I'm sayin'? It's so enjoyable waiting for the holidays to come! The excitement, the anxiety, the... just the... I don't know. I just love it! Well, Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year!

The Crusader's Tale - Part 1

Yes, TCT Part 1 is out! If you wanna see it, please visit our website. I ask you, again, to spread the word about The Crusader's Tale and Lord and Lady Productions!!!

Putting Up Christmas Lights...

Is a pain in the neck. The past years we've tried it, it always takes us... hours... but today! Today we successfully succeeded in performing the great deed within three hours! Success! Muahahahaha! Recently, it was my brother birthday- *gasp* I forgot to do a Birthday post!!!! oops... Ok, here we go:

Happy Birthday David! You are, without a doubt, the finest brother ever! You are strategic, a very fine warrior, and an excellent actor!

So, again, Happy Birthday!!!

So, where was I? Ah yes! For his birthday, he received a computer game entitled "Company of Heroes."

It's a WWII game in which you command the headquarters and you build you army of tanks, artillery, and infantry to destroy the Nazi forces. There are three forces you can choose to be: Infantry, Airborne, and Armor. I personally prefer the airborne. Love the airborne! So, I must now go... darn it... so, farewell until our next meeting! And if we do not meet again, (highly doubt-able) then may your spirit stay strong, and your wits remain sharp! May-go-Vahnen,(farewell in elvish)
and a Merry Christmas!

I Am a Full Blooded Airsofter

Yes, I am. I just recieved my gear this week! Wahoo!!! So, I

am, officially, the first member of the Knight's Templar Catholic Airsofting Squad! With my gear I ordered 6 extra magazines for my MP5 which means I will never run out of ammo! Can't wait to go to my first game!

Of Thanksgivings and Advents and Being Behind Blogging Schedule

I am way behind. No use trying to get around it I am neglecting to post out of laziness.... but considering I have a life outside of blogging, and this is just a tool with which I can do something, it really doesn't matter. So, no matter whether I'm behind or not, but I still should apologize as the followers took time to follow this blog, I should at least take the time to say something! So, Happy Thanksgiving! My family and I had a wonderful thanksgiving! We had a blast! My Grandma was able to be here and we all ate our turkey, stuffing and many other foods with much delight, you'd better believe it! We still, after Thanksgiving has been over for 5 days now, have leftovers... I'll take care of that in a couple of hours.... My family has a tradition of saying what we are all Thankful for as we eat.

But now it is, and I cannot believe it, ADVENT!!!!!!!!! It seems only yesterday we were in the middle of summer! So, I had to step on it and change my blogs look and put on my Christmas playlist... oh boy....

Updates on life: My brother David's birthday is coming up and he, shockingly, wanted to ask for the same airsoft gun I bought. I decided to be nice (and I also wanted to buy another one as it was a little heavy for my taste...) and sell him the one I bought... strange huh? So, I had to but yet another gun.... this time I bought a gun used by the Navy SEALS and also the most widely used sub machine gun around the world: The MP5. The MP5 is used by many armies around the world including the Australian Army, the Italian Army, the US Army, the Irish Army, the UK Army, and, one of my reasons for loving it, the Swiss Guard, and many more. I love this gun! And I love airsoft!

We have finally created out Arsofting Squad. We are calling ourselves the Knight's Templar's and, as we are taking out name from the Catholic warrior monks, have adopted the Italian uniform: Vegetato Camouflage, OD Gear, maroon or black berets (or Special forces helmets), and any gun used by the Italian Army. For myself, I will be the squad leader and David is our Squad second in command. Myself and Tony, are our squad assault troops/CQB (And part-time sniper for myself), Gabriel is out gunner, and David is our squad SDM (squad designated marksman). I can't wait until we all have our gear!

Until next time,

Life Update

I know, I know... I never post that much during this time of year. So I am giving you the updates on my life:

I bought a new airsoft rifle!!!!! It's got metal internals, it's an automatic, it has matal external parts all over, and and charging rod on the side of the gun, and a 300+ round magazine.

I got my job back at the Country Mill. It's better than last year. This year I'm weighing pumpkins. And I get to dress up this weekend!!!! My sister decided to dress up as an FBI agent (she looks alot like one) and I am dressing up as Al Capone on Saturday, and on Sunday we're both dressing up as pirates! Wahoo!

We are taking fencing lessons! It's fun! My grandma is coming next week! Can't wait!

So, you now have the updates on my life. I shall have to attempt to post more. I'll try.

Riddles......

Whoever solves these is a genious... or maybe you've heard them before... either for thsat matter:

"The rope broke, the bell rang, and the man died..."

Decipher that if you can...

And now for the second:

"Inside a room there are 53 bycycles, a dead (murdered) man, and a table. Some of the bycycles are on the table and some aren't... what happened?"

I'll bet you'll never figures that one out...

To the winner I shall give nothing! Because if your that smart you don't have to show it off with an award...

Happy Brithday Tony!

Today is my brother, Tony's, 13th birthday! I can only announce two of his presents and they are:

Firstly, the present he opened this morning was a F4Boys Automatic Airsoft M4 Carbine. Awesome!!!!!

Secondly, he is now the proud owner of an officially licensed Indiana Jones Fedora!



HappyBirthday Tony! And May you play many parts as good as you played Baldwin!

The Movie Preferance Poll

I have posted a new poll! And this time, I am trying to see what kind of the major types of movies people prefer. I have chosen three of the most popular kinds. This isn't a "Most Popular Genre" Test, this is more of a... setting test... I guess... The three categories to choose from are:

Historical: e.g. Kingdom of Heaven, Gladiator, Gettysburg, The King's Speech, Pirates of the Carribean (although that's kind of fantasy... I'll leave it in this category), The Passion, Braveheart, Robin Hood.

Sci-Fi: e.g. Star Wars, Star Trek, The Dark Knight, X-Men, Tron: Legacy, Spiderman, Captain America, The Avengers (2012) Inception.

Fantasy: e.g. The Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit (2012), Eragon, The Chronicles of Narnia.

Have fun!

There and Back Again: A Hobbit's Tale by The Pimpernel

About a week ago, I left for a Young Men's Summer Camp. It was a blast! Myself, the leader, and another guy, were the first ones to arrive. We then started to set up the tents and unload the food when all the rest of the group arrived. We began the trip with Mass and the Rosary and then had a dinner of hamburgers and hot dogs!

The next day we went canoeing down a river to Amon Hen... Well, myself and my canoe partner were in first place in the first part of the race! The second part, we were somewhere in the back, and in the third part, we were in second place! Once we were done, we were so tired! As usual we went to Mass and said the Rosary but ended with a dinner of cheese dip and spaghetti.

The next day, we went on a hike on some Sand Dunes. This was the end Mr. Frodo! Just over the hills! It would all be over! Then we could go home! Home to the Shire! As you can see, it was quite difficult. The hills were some of the most difficult things to climb! On the way back, back 'ome, I literally fell down just within a few yards of the last hill. I had trouble just pulling myself to the top. Then I could see the vans! We'd done it Mr. Frodo! It's done!

The next day we packed up the tents and went home. Ya. Lots of energy and excitement there. Hahaha! As we were the first to arrive, we were the last to pack up and leave.

All in all, the trip was a fun one. I would have to say I will be goin' again next year. But after a long adventure, it's good to be back 'ome. So, I have lived the adventure. I have gone there... and back again.
