Quite the peculiar occasion

One of the strangest occasions so far in my life was the day before my family left for my cousin's mission farewell. When we were about to get in the car to go, my mom recieved news about my grandpa who I didn't know much about at all. He had gotten in a motorcycle accident and had suffered serious head injuries. My family suddenly had a change of plans and the next week we went to check on him. Regrettably, he passed away, but I'm still not sure what to think, as I really don't remember him much.

I like physical fitness, and I enjoy doing pull-ups. So I am going to try and teach you how to do a kipping pull-up. The first step to sucess, if you cannot already do a pull-up, is to train your arms and shoulders so that you may have the strength to do it. Hop on the bar and just stay still for the moment. Start to push your hips forward and back to get the momentum to carry your body upward. Try your best not to actually swing forward or back like you are on a swing, because this just makes things much more difficult. As you feel yourself rising slightly on the way back from your kip, realize that is the optimal time to pull upwards. If all goes well, then there you have it. Your first kipping pull-up. :)

How can I "join the conversation"?

Honestly, I don't know how I can join the conversation online, especially since I don't even know what the conversation is really even about. It really depends on what the conversation would be. I don't really pay attention to what I am deeply interested in because I don't really care. If I like something, then I will almost certainly get involved in it. Sometimes my interest wanes, other times it never seems to be satiated. I have found so many different things to be entertained by that I no longer want or need to keep track.

"Hello, my name is Enigo Montoya. You kill' my father. Prepare to die." - from the movie Princess Bride. This is one of the most notorious movie quotes, also one of the most amusing, in my opinion. I have absolutely no idea how this has to do with anything, but I figured it be fun to bring it up for the bazillionth time in the world.

The smell of fresh air, still cool as I would step out of the camp trailer after a good night's sleep always helped me relax my sore muscles from playing hard the day before. Every morning at my uncle's ranch, I start a fire in the fire pit, change into my motorbiking clothes, and check to make sure my motorcycle is ready for later in the day. My cousins and I always spend nearly the whole day riding around my uncle's "ranch", starting a little after all of my huge family eats breakfast. Usually, we all just ride around until it starts to get dark, but sometimes, we all head up the ridge and go skeet shooting. We also usually spend a day or two playing around in my uncle's pond, making huge things out of sand, or falling off of the zipline into the water. Perhaps the funniest of them all is when we have foosball competitions, which usually last all day, because no one can ever win. In my opinion, a single perfect day for me is unachievable, but if I could have a perfect week instead, this would be it. :)
