10 things I want for Christmas

1. My grandma to get better because she has lung cancer, which means my mom will not be home for Christmas.
2. Seat covers for my truck, so my seats do not get torn.
3. An Outback coat from the Boot Barn because it is water proof and I need a new coat.
4. A performance chip because it will increase my truck's power and fuel mileage.
5. A new hunting knife, for my old one broke.
6. A gift card to Buckaroo Business so when I go there it doesn't seem like I spent that much money.
7. A gift card to Hastings because I like music.
8. An Ipod cover because my Ipod gets dropped a lot.
9. A pair of either Armitas or Chinks because my chinks broke when my horse bucked me off this past summer.
10. A new Law Dog hat (cowboy hat) because I need a nice, dressy type hat.

Hamlet's modern-day speech

Is it better to live or die
Whether it is better to suffer
The troubles through life
Or put them to an end.
Dying, spleeping, its all dying is.
A sleep that ends heartaches and
Shocks life gives us. It is an
Achievement to wish for.
To die, to sleep, to sleep
Possibly to dream. Ah, btu there's a catch.
In death's sleep, what do you dream of
When we've put everything behind us?
We must think about this.
To consider what streches out our life.
Who would put up with humiliations,
The torture from higher class men,
Insults, rudeness from people in office,
mistreatment of others, when you
could just kill yourself? Who
Would want to go through the pain and
Sweat of an exhausting life, unless they
Were afraid of something worse than
Death, the undiscovered land of no
Return, which we wonder about and
Never get an answer, and to keep with
The evils we know and stay away from
The one's we don't? Fear and death
Make us all cowards, and our bodies
Weak by thinking too much. The actions
That should be done quickly get sidetracked,
And these actions soon become forgotten.

Halloween Memory

When I was in kindergarten I would come everyday and watch the Lone Ranger at 4:00 pm. Soon it was almost Halloween, and my mom asked me what I would like to be for Halloween. Well, I told her I wanted to be the Lone Ranger. She said "OK." Luckily my mom is creative and knows how to sew because she had to make my6 costume out of baby blue felt. She sewed the pants, shirt, and even made the mask. Soon I had the pants, the shirt, black boots, a hat, the awesome mask, and the fake gun and holster! I thought I looked exactly like the real Lone Ranger. Plus, at the time I had a white horse, which was pretty cool because the Lone Ranger also had a white horse. This was probably the best Halloween I've had.

Top Ten Things

These are the Top 10 things to do when I am bored.

1. Take a nap because sleep is AWESOME.
2. Listen to music, for I like music a lot.
3. Watch a movie because movies sometimes make me fall asleep.
4. Play fetch with my dog, for it gets me outside and my dog gets exercise.
5. Draw because I like expand on my creativity.
6. Call or text a friend I have not talked to in a while to catch up on things.
7. Go for a drive to see what all is going on up the boulder.
8. Get on Facebook to see what people are up to.
9. Eat a snack.
10. Watch comedians on Youtube because you can always use new jokes.

It isn't fair....( Diary Entry 10-14-11)

It isn't fair that little siblings get away with things! I know that if I mouthed off to my parents or did something wrong in front of them, I would get punished. If my little brother does something on that order, he gets told not to do it again and does not get any punishment.

Letter to Shakespeare

Dear Mr. William Shakespeare,

        I really like your play Othello, for it always kept me thinking what might happen next. I like how you mixed jealousy, kindness, love, and hatred into your creation. Although it is a tragedy, there are some very funny lines in the play. The play did end differently than I had expected, but it was still an awesome ending.

Sincerely,




Jacob Stenberg

My 20 year projection

Where will I be in 20 years?  Well, I will have taken over the family ranch and possibly have expanded it. I will also have a wife and two kids, hopefully both are boys. I will still be in touch with my childhood friends, and all the friends I have made through the years of my life. Plus, I hope to have traveled to many places in the world.

If I were an animal

If I were an animal, I would be a Grizzly bear because they just kind of hang out and mind their own business, unless confronted and feel in danger. The foods they eat, like, rasberries, wild strawberries, fish, and chokecherries are all foods I like. They're a very large animal and one of the most dangerous animals in the mountains. Also, they are on the endangered species list, so I would not get hunted. The main reason I would like to be a grizzly bear is because they sleep a lot, and I like to sleep a lot! I would also be very warm during the cold winters because the grizzle bears have a very thick coat of fur.

Weeknd Announcement

Attention students, this weekend was awesome! On Saturday I baled hay all day in an air conditioned tractor and enjoyed the scenery. My girlfriend also came down for the weekend from Ennis. She stayed until Monday morning, which was awesome because i don't get to see her very much. On Sunday, Mariah, my girlfriend, and i went to the sheep drive in Reed Point. It turned out to be boring, so we went on a road trip on the back roads. then we went to the grand opening of Holly's Road Kill Saloon up by McLeod. This was a very good time because there was a live band and really good barbecue food. Then on Monday Mariah left and i went to football practice. When i got home from football we had a barbecue with some Norway company and relatives before they left the next day.

Laughed until I cried

The last time I laughed until I cried was when Riley, his dad, and a friend came to my house for his dad to shoe one of our horses. After the horse was shod we all started telling stories that were hilarious!  During that time it was raining really hard and my brother and Riley's little brother, Cole, we playing in the coral on four wheelers. Soon, Riley challenged me to a mud/manure fight with the four wheelers. this was awesome because Riley got into a spot to where he needed to put the four wheeler into reverse, but could not do so. While this was happening i just kept spraying him with the mud/manure. After that we got back into the barn and Riley's dad could not stop laughing at Riley and I. By this time the adults have had quite a few adult beverages and the stories/jokes kept rolling. I think at one point we were laughing for at least a straight 3 minutes. The night did not end until about 1 or 1:30. This night could not have been planned for the amount of fun we had.
