sport shooting

This article, found on the New York Times website, touches on a subject I feel is rarely dabbled in by today's journalists and writers. The article explores the culture of sport shooting among the people of Switzerland. An important thing to understand is that Switzerland has a gun ownership rate only topped by that of the United States and Yemen. Maybe the prominence of sport shooting has heightened this whole idea of gun literacy (knowing how to use a gun, what responsibilities come with it, etc.) among Swiss people which in turn made Switzerland a bearer of a super low gun violence rate. 
 As many of you may know, I am part of the Creighton Prep trapshooting team. Some people are scared off by the idea of a trap range filled with 12-17 year olds waving around guns, but one thing I can affirm is  that safety is the #1 priority on these ranges. The high school shooters on these ranges are among the more well versed when it comes to firearms, what they really are, and how to be safe with them. Perhaps a future of sport shooting will lead to a safer and more gun-literate society!!!

Everyone is doing it! Even presidents George Bush and Barack Obama!? Yes!

hey im andrew
todays been pretty average. i dont remember falling asleep last night, i think i went to bed at like seven considering i didnt do any of my homework. i woke up this morning at 6:14 because i never set my 3 alarm clocks. heres a real picture of me.

i put each alarm clock in a different part of my room so i have to get up and turn them off, ensuring that i dont just turn them off right when i wake up and go back to sleep. i couldnt find my wallet or my keys. eventually i found them both in my car, which i left unlocked. oops. i ate a Jimmy Dean breakfast sandwich this morning and then began chewing two sticks of 5 brand gum, cobalt flavor, a cooling peppermint, once i got to school. nice!

my phone wasnt charged this morning either which is just unfortunate. silly me also left my wallet in my car when i walked into school. this is a problem as i didnt have the ten dollars that i was gonna use to buy my parking permit. if you were wondering i have been parking in the soph lot for four weeks and i still dont have my parking permit. oops. i am eternally grateful to whoever decided to give us a half day of school. oh yeah i also didnt do my PE homework. well see how that goes??? so yeah thats my day so far! heres another real picture of me earlier today. 

im gonna skip the part of the blog where i tell you how great i am, cause you should know that by now.

anyway as many of you may know i play football, i wrestle, and i shoot trap. these things are nice. i am an avid supporter of the prophetic 1.49 10-piece chicken nugget deal at burger king. 

wanna know something bad? someone hit my car in the soph lot the other day, now theres a lil swipe on the side of my NISSAN ROGUE. i took this picture of my NISSAN ROGUE on my way to school today.

Mrs. Hake just told me that I have to use correct capitalization and stuff. I'll do that from now on. Today, while I was traveling eastbound on Dodge and some guy in a Toyota Prelude cut me off. I have hit the point in the blog post where i really have nothing to say. My plan for the rest of the day is to go to HuHot Mongolian Grill and then go shoot some trap.

I opened my basement freezer this morning and a fully intact perfectly preserved frozen fish fell out! What do you call a park that you go to so you can look at Giraffes?
