The other day, I followed a link to this video. I know the guy (at least over the net) who made this, and I found it really funny. It pretty much makes fun of musicals.. (E.G. High School Musical) If you dont find it very funny the first time, come back and watch it again in an hour or so, and listen closely. I didn't like it as much the first time as I did the second, same with my brother. Anywho, hope you enjoy the video..
WARNING: Some may find the ending sickening, so just a quick warning. Also, if you like cheesy musicals (god forbid...) I would not reccomend watching this, as it may offend you.

I'm happy...
For all of you that don't know, I'm getting into the sport of Falconry. Falconry is where you capture falcons from the wild and train them to hunt with you. I just recieved the information packet from the department of fish and game and am preparing to take the state exam. For the purpose of making this post longer, I'll quickly go through the steps of getting a falcon..
1. You read up on falconing. Get to know different kinds of falcons and how to identify them, how to care for falcons/hawks, how to train them to hunt, etc etc.2. You request a packet from the DFG (California Department of Fish and Game) and read whatever is in the packet. (that's where I am at)3. You study for the state exam you have to pass in order to get your permit4. You take the state exam. The exam is pretty intense, or at least that's what I've heard from other falconers. They have a DFG warrden watching over your back to make sure you don't cheat.5. After recieving your permit, you go and find a sponsor. A sponsor is someone who has done falconing for at least 2 years and will train you by hunting with you. A sponsor is very similar to a guide or teacher.5. You buy your equipment (which costs $1000 unless you make most of your own stuff). The equipmetn includeds: An almery pair of jessies, a leash, a mew (place for hawk to stay in), a whethering place, a scale, a special kind of glove, anklets, amung other things.6. You have a DFG officer come and inspect you're equipment to make sure it will pass state or federal regulations.7. When you pass the inspection, you send in the last of your paperwork and the DFG sends you back your lisence.8. You wait until trapping season (October 1st -- January 29th) and go out and trap your bird with your sponsor. There are dozens of kinds of Hawks and Falcons that are legal to catch, but apprentices only have the choice of two birds. A American Kestrel Falcon

(Which is small for a falcon), or a Red-Tailed Hawk. The difference between these two birds is mostly their size and what they hunt. Kestrels hunt mice and sparrows, this is because of how small and quick kestrels are. Red-Tailed Hawks hunt things like squires and rabbits.American Kestrel...
Red Tailed Hawk8. You go through the procces of training your bird for hunting which requires a whole different list, which for your sake I wont write up.So, yeah, that's pretty much it. Sorry for the wait on the post. The reason I couldn't post was because... uh... I was fighting criminals... so... that's it.
