Belt Design

If I were to create a belt that is supposed to represent me I would carve quite a few things into it.  Starting off with an "S."  Obviously, my name is Samantha, so that explains that.  My second symbol would be a paw print because my weekend are filled by dog shows.  They are a huge impact on my life and I've met so many great people through it.  My third symbol would be waves, corny i know, but true.  I absolutely LOVE the beach and I would live there if I could.  I plan on moving to Florida or attending college there so I can absorb it all.  As my forth symbol I would put a shopping bag because I really enjoy shopping!  I would do it everyday all day if I had that much money!  My fifth symbol would be a mom stick figure.  My mom is my whole entire life and my best friend.  I wouldn't be able to go on with-out her.  My sixth symbol would be the letters JC, for my school.  John Carroll takes up my whole entire life on the weekdays.  6-7 Hour days at school and then homework afterwards!  Pathetic?  I'm aware.  My seventh symbol would be a bed.  I love sleeping.  It's so nice to catch up on sleep and sleeping in late on weekends is such a prised possession.  My last symbol would be my iPhone.  I can't live without that thing!  It's got my whole life with-in it!

I'd like to go to...

Sun kissed Skin, Bikini's on Top!
Clear water, white sand, sun shine, lounge chairs, crashing waves, dolphins and tanning all day.  Where do I want to visit, in the United States?  By far Clearwater Beach, Florida.  Something about the beach just intrigues me and when you can see right through it, whats better?  The sunlight is incredible, and I could stay in the waves or tan all day long.  I would drop everything to fly to this incredible heaven on Earth.  Seeing dolphins swimming by daily and drinking daiquiris while lounging on the white sand is an incredible way to spend your day.  


The beach has a way of taking away all of your stress and just having a good time.  I love "beach-y" jewelry like hemp necklaces, sea shells and sailor knot bracelets.  I could wear flip-flops and shorts all year round and I love being tan.  I would HAVE to sail in the trade winds, visit universal studio's and visit all the aquatic animals at the aquarium while down there!  I haven't ever swam with a dolphin, but it's definitely on my list of things to do!  After writing this, I really want to run down to BWI and make a nice stop to this superb area, in west-coast Florida.

Jon Krakauer

On April 12, 1954, in Brookline, MA, Jon Krakauer was born as the third child of a five child family.  At about two years old his family packed up and moved to Oregon.  His father introduced him to mountaineering when he was only eight years old.  He decided to head back to Massachusetts to study at Hampshire College and graduated in 1976.  Shortly after that, in 1977, he spent three weeks by himself in the wilderness.  Remind you of a certain situation?  He also fell in love with climber Linda Moore and settled down in 1980, although this didn't keep him from mountaineering.  Krakauer wrote many books, his most famous being Into the Wild and Into Thin Air.  Into the Wild became a New-York times best seller, for two years while Into Thin Air was given an academy award in 1999.  His works are said to be inspiring and vivid.
