Bears VS Bucs

On Sunday afternoon, I was very bored so I decided to watch some TV. As I was flipping through the channels I saw that there was a Chicago Bears game on. The game was between the bears and the Buccaneers, at the Bears stadium. I chose to watch it because it was a very close game. As the game rolled on the Bears started pulling away and with about 1:30 left in regulation play the game started to get a little dicey. The score was 24 to 14 Bears leading. I was thinking to myself “Can the Bucs pull off this upset.” The clock was ticking down and as Brian Griese, Bears X QB, was leading the Bucs down the field I was thinking that they could actually do this. And Griese made me believe it more and more, He led the Bucs to their first score which happened to be a field goal. With about 45 seconds remaining the Bucs were desperate so they attempted an onside kick and it worked. In about 5 seconds the game had changed dramatically, and Griese was back on the field with his high powered offense, but without Joey Galloway it seemed nearly impossible to get a touchdown in 40 seconds. As the last few second were played the Bucs and Brian Griese ended up scoring with 5 seconds left to tie things up. Because the teams were all square after regulation play, they had one 15 minute overtime session to decide things. The Bucs had won the toss and they chose to receive. On that very drive Griese led the Bucs down the field to get a field goal and win 27-24 over the Bears in an amazing overtime stunner. 

Rambo

    Over the weekend i watched many things but probably the most interesting one was the movie Rambo. This movie stars the well known actor from the rocky movies, Sylvester Stallone. 

    The movie takes place just south of the suffering country of Burma. the main character John Rambo (Sylvester Stallone) has an operating long boat and a group of Christian missionaries want to go into Burma to help those who are suffering. They ask Rambo if he would take them and reluctantly he agrees to, but as you might not know Burma is a war-torn country. The Christian missionaries experience what true war is through going into Burma and Rambo had warned them that if you mess with the rebels you will regret it, and oh would these missionaries regret it. Threw the course of traveling up river Rambo and the missionaries encounter some rebels and almost get killed for trying to pass through their territory but Rambo saves them. Once John Drops off the Christian missionaries he returns to northern Thailand and about 10 days later he hears that the missionaries had not returned to the church. Rambo goes back to Burma with highly skilled mercenaries and goes on search and rescue for these missionaries. He would rescue them at all costs and threw a grueling battle he did so. 

A journey i intend to take

One journey that i would like to take in my life is to go backpacking in new zealand and austrailia. this is because there are many sites to see there and a lot of unexplored and unmarked territory. Along with that austrailia has a lot of wild and untamed animals and it would be fun to interact with them. In new zealand there are mountanous terrain and green rolling hills. The main reason is because my great grandpa participated in the olympics in new zealand and austrailia and i have never been there. I think backpacking will be a challenging, interseting and fun journey.
