Working is something everybody goes through in there lives in order to reach there financial goals. Some go to college to get a degree to make higher wages, and some start working full time right after high school. But no matter what, working is something that should be fun and entertaining enough to make you want to come make money there. That's why I work at Aeropostale.
Aeropostale to me is a fun place to work. The people that work there are really cool and very friendly. They are easy to talk to and I share common interests with them. My managers are really cool too. We goof around constantly, so its a good day if we get some work done. Also, the environment there is so welcoming, the music is great, and the best part is that I don't have to work with food ever again, and come home smelling like bleach. I also, really like working around clothing that I wear, even though it's tough not to by something after I'm done working. Lastly, the work that I do there some people wouldn't consider work. I fold clothing, stock shelves, and help people with there questions. Yeah, its fun and easy...... and I get paid for it!
This job is one thing that i am thankful for, because it is a place to work which gives me good hours and paychecks, but for the most part, because it is fun and an enjoyable place to work.

My First Deer!
Well, the year his is here! Deer hunting of 2007-08 season is underway, and I am stoked. I have been waiting for this day for a few months now, and its finally here. Hopefully, I shoot something.
This year began like any other year, sitting in our woods hunting, driving out woods, and praying that I'm going to kill a deer. However, this year I just had that feeling that I was going to get a deer, and I would be proud of myself. Well, it was just before close on Monday night that I finally started to see some deer come my way (toward my stand). I had seen bucks and does all weekend but nothing was coming close to me and my stand. Anyway, me and my friend Dan went on the opposite ends of the woods from each other and hunted. When Dan walked to his stand he kicked up three deer, and sent them right toward ME AND MY STAND. However, me being me, I was about to take a nap in my stand and wasn't paying any attention right away. Then, just before, I was going to take my nap I took one more look throughout the woods and sure enough here come three deer running by my stand. I got two shots off at the front deer. It was a really big doe (170lbs or more), but I only grazed it. So after the two shots on the first deer the front two deer took off running up the hill side out of site, while the third deer just stood there wondering what the hell is going on, and I shot it once. I ended up blowing the heart to pieces and the deer dropped dead in its tracks. That was it my first deer. I was excited even though it was what seem to be a doe. Then my dad and I went to gut the deer out and we noticed little nubs on the top of his head. It was a nub-buck, but the tines were not three inches or more so I didn't have to use my buck tag on it.
Anyways now that I got my first deer under my belt, there is only more to come. Like my old man said you got to start somewhere, and once you brake that barrier of your first deer, your smooth sailing from now on. Lets hope that this saying is true!!!

Opening Day Of Hunting!
Opening day of hunting is a day filled with excitement, adrenaline rushes, and hopefully blasting a deer till it falls down and dies. It basically is a national holiday for "hicks." To me it is one of my favorite weekends to experience.
I begin my day, every morning, getting up at five in the morning. I eat a little bit of breakfast before getting dressed. I then prepare myself for a cold morning out in the woods by putting on layers of clothing. I also, bust open hand warmers and toe warmers but not till I'm ready to hed out and sit in my tree stand. After eating and getting dressed, me and some of my hunting buddies (7 of us) talk about where we are going to sit, what time were coming in from hunting, and what to do if one of us gets a deer. Then all seven of us split up and try to cover my woods, and well, once everybody is out and in there tree stand, let the hunting begin.
Hunting to me has been a part of my life. Growing up in Eden and Campbellsport, hunting is a way of life. Being a "hick" is being part of the norm around here. Hunting is a time where everyone talks to one another about their experiences, enjoys being around friends and family, and being able to make that trip down to the Eden Meat Market with deer in the back of your truck. To me, this is a great "holiday" that I look forward to every year, even though I still haven't killed a deer.

Hunting!
Hunting for most people isn't there idea of a fun thing to do because it involves sitting for hours in a tree stand and freezing in the cold weather. Sometimes, you may not see anything either and it could turn out to be a waste of time. But what hunters love most, and non-hunters don't experience, is the thrill you receive when you see a deer walking toward you, or when you fire your first shot at a deer, and actually kill it. This feeling is like no other and is fun to experience.
For me, well I love hunting. I've grown up in this "hick" town, where hunting is a way of life. I do everything hunting related, whether it's going deer shining, setting up deer cameras, throwing apples and corn out by my stands, repairing old stands and setting up new ones. To me, this is almost more fun that actually hunting in general. I guess I would like hunting more than I already do, but I never seem to kill a deer. I always miss, and I haven't dropped a deer in the eight years of hunting. I always get pumped up for hunting every year and when it's all over and all I do is shoot and miss, it is the worst feeling. Almost all of my friends have killed a deer by now, but me. And, another thing, hunting is almost like your killing a deer for bragging rights. Around here my friends give each other a hard time if you shoot and miss or if you don't kill a deer and as of the past seven years I'm the one getting picked on. I just wish that would change.
Anyways, I'm using a different gun this year and hopefully that will do the trick. I too, am praying that this will be the year that I finally get my first deer, whether it be a buck or a doe.
