growing up with brothers (makeup blog)

Growing up with brothers isnt always fun. You might think like yeah u always have something to do and always have company but ur wrong. well ur sorta right its just not as great as you think. see i have two brothers named jayson and joey and jayson just turned 18 and joey is getting ready to turn 11. Theres a couple good things about having an older brother and a younger brother, like always have someone to pick on and mess with when ur bored but its not as great as it sounds. let me start off with my older brother. See having an older brother is fun when ur real young because you have someone to look up to but the bad thing is ur always getting picked on . I was always picked on by my older brother and he is  only two years older than me. But that two years gave him experiance in stuff i didnt have. And another thing that sucks is that ur older brother always get special privlages like to stay out later and to do more things. That always sucked becuase being the younger sibling you always look up to ur older brother or sister because ur wanna do everything they did so you can be just like them. But im a younger brother just as i am an older brother and that sucks as well becuase i hate that my younger brother alwyas tries to do things that i do and follow me everywhere and is really annoying and does things just to get on ur nerves. but i also lik it becuase iget those special privilages that my younger brother doesnt have and its nice to know that you have someone that looks up to you. See i dont like having brother all the time but sometimes im glad i do. Having a family that gets a long is very important and i feel like if i didnt have any brothers than i would just be bored and lonely. And its nice that you always have a friend thats might be caouple years younger or older and might be annoyinh and pick on you but atleast thier there becuase once thier gone your gonna wish they were still there. so i would much rather have brothers than not at all and yes it does suck to grow up with them but over time you get used to it and them being there makes everything easier in certain ways rather than them not be there and have to do everything on your own.

greatest achievement

See there are so many achievements in my life that i dont know which one is exactly my greatest. I mean its a hard decision picking between going to the moon and being the president. im just kidding. but really i dont know what my greatest achievement is but i guess i will tell you about beating my dad in golf. Now my dad has been playing golf for over 20 years and he is very good. When he was 18 my grandma owned a golf coarse so he played there everyday after school and any other time he could find. its hard to say that what i am about to tell you is my greatest achievement but its surely my most happiest one. Ive only been playing golf now for a little over a year and a half. My overall goal was just to beat my dad and after playing over a hundred rounds of golf with him, i thought that it would never be possible. Until a one sunday morning while dew was still on the coarse and i felt very lucky. Now several weeks in a row i have been gettting very close to beating my dad just falling a couple strokes behind. But like  i sad that one sunday morning while the dew was still on the coarse i felt very lucky. Our tee-time was at 9 30 and i was out hitting the range at 8. i spent atleast an hour working, and focusing on how i can beat my dad. I felt very confident in my game and my ability to beat my dad but i still felt like there was still one thing left to fix so i hit the putting green. I wasnt the best putter at that time but i was fairly good and often a better putter than my dad but if i could limit 1 putt per hole i was for sure that i could beat him. after spending a good 30 minutes on the putting green it was time to hit the coarse. we both teed off and i crushed my down the center of the fairway about 300 yards while my dad was off in the fairway and right then i knew i had to attack him early or he would take control. so i started off paring the first 3 holes while he was over par by two strokes. we kept battling out the rest of that front 9 and i ended with a 40 and he ended with a 41 . i had him by one stroke and i knew that wasnt enough because he always is a back 9 player and we were at his signature coarse. so we teed off the back and he amazingly drove the green while i hit my ball two feet from the water and ended up bogying that whole while he birdied. so were all tied up and after battling long in tough for 7 more holes we were standing on the 18th hole which was a par 5, and 560 yards all tied up . we both teed off and were right next to eachother about 280 out from the green. he lets me go first and a slam a 3 wood about 230 leaving me 50 yards out. of coarse he goes crazy and hits the green on his second shot. i thought it was over right then. so i took my 58 degree and thought to myself, i have to hit this close. so i took my nice easy swing and out it 1 foot from the hole. my dad was quite a ways out so he took is putt leaving himself about a 10 foot right to left downhill putt which is one of the most hardest putts you can do. he takes his second putt and it nicks the corner of the cup and falls off about 3 feet and right then i knew i had this game if ii could nock in a 1 foot putt. so i stepped up and took my put and  made it! i was so happy and shocked i didnt know what to do except for smile. For only playing golf for a year and a half i finally beat my dad who has been playing over twenty years . I think htis is my greatest achievement because not only did i beat my dad in the game we both love, but i beat him out of preperation and skill. That day made me belive i could beat anybody in golf as long as i tried my hardest and that was the day that my golfing achievements started
