ChisaiKame

It takes too much time. There are so many different kinds! http://www.cs.umd.edu/~dabe/Poopie.html

I have two slider turtles. One is a Red Eared Slider and the other , we think is a yellow bellied slider. They are sooo good to have. They are easy. All you need is a filter, light, basking rock, water, tank, and food… and a turtle. They don’t get bored, and the only work you need to do is feed them and clean the filter once every one or two months. They have personalities too. One of mine loves food and eats it out of my hand and the other is afraid of its own shadow. You can also watch them swim around or eat food and take them out and let them run around.

Chisai Kame is “litte turtle” in Japanese. (my user name is Chisai Kame)

My next goal is to own a tortoise/box turtle…

Get a car and mark out a half mile, mile, and mile and a half. Make sure you choose a route that is not boring when you mark out the distances. On your first day, try running to the half mile mark and back. Try to do this without taking any walking breaks. Keep running a mile until you can get it in under 7 or 8 minutes. This may take some time. After that, run 2 miles (mile mark and back) Keep doing this until you can get under 18 minutes. After that, keep running the 3 mile run (1.5 and back). Keep lowering your time. My best is 20 minutes and it keeps getting faster.

Don’t run hard 2 days in a row. Try running hard on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, and take slow, easy jogs on Tuesday and Thursday. On Weekends, maybe try bike rides or something.

I live in Florida. I ran the duathlon during summer time. I was just practicing to see if I would be able to do it. It was a hot and extremely windy because Hurricane Dennis was near. Running was easy but I always go for jogs. When I got on my bike, it felt like a nice break from running but after about the fifth mile, my butt started to hurt. My bike seat was so uncomfortable. When I ran the last 2 miles, I was sore. If you ever do a duathlon, make sure you have a comfortable bike seat. 3 weeks later and I’m still sore.

I just saw Hotel Rwanda. Not just the US, but just about every country in Europoe let Africa suffer. Since it didn’t help them to save Africa, they just let the Tutsi and Hutu kill eachother. The army people had guns while the Africans had machetes so the armies wouldn’t even be in danger of getting hurt.

I have been learning Japanese for about 2 years but only from books and Pimsleur CD’s. I also had school getting in the way. No one here teaches Japanese. I have a few friends in Japan. Some time during college I want to go to Japan and teach English just for a year.

I got close to doing it on a trampoline. I landed on my knees. A few days later I tried again. I forgot how to do it and landed on my head. I am afraid to do it now. I will try to learn how to but I will need to put pillows down or something. That hurt a lot.
