When you ask...
"what the heck is a blog?" The answer is here.
Some people want others to see their pictures, others seem to want it because their friends have one, but a real blog is suppose to be a public, life long, on going journal.
In my house, I have about 5 journals total, not because I love to make things more interesting and pick out another cool looking writing tool, because unfortunately, I misplace them,
but when I finally reasoned to get a blog, my life didn't change, I just found a place where I could put it.
"My name is Madison Barksdale"... See, that's a start for a journal.
Now we just have to put the interesting things in there...
Umm... lets see, hobbies... hobbies are interesting!
My hobbies:
1. I love to play the cello.
2. I like to stay close to the gross and the exciting stuff, I guess thats because the boring stuff is just not me.
3. Well, I like to go camping, and I love climbing and stuff like that. And the most awesome thing I absolutely can not stop doing, is back packing, I am the back packing queen! So, take me with you next time you go through the Grand Canyon :)

Well, I guess from most of that you can tell I am pretty adventurous, so I guess the next step is...
WHERE I LIVE!
Yes, that is interesting to some people, except I can't like, give you my whole address you know, that would be kind of stupid of me... he, he, he. anyway.
I live in Utah, yes, that is in the United states of America which could be referd to as paradise to most people because, well, you know, America is like the place everyone is talking about, which would lead to the topic of how great it is. :) so, in other news, I am a dumb blond with no job at age 15 which is lame just because I love money, yes, lots and lots of money, I already have like 50 dolors right now, ya!
My sister has probably about 300 dollars, but she has a job so, 50 dollars is like a thousand dolors to a person that doesn't have a job...
Never mind.
So, I guess the next thing ya do in a blog is tell what is up and what is happening at this moment.
"You will be very proud of me when I say that I have gotten all my homework done for today with Brain Honey."
Also my family is trying to get this darn home clean for tomorrow.
Why?
Well, I'll tell ya why!
My dad, along with the whole family (except My older sister. she's not on the same page) has decided to sell our house and move into the big country side to make our life turn into a hard working, slave driving, long living, farmer life.
Why again?
Some think we hate our neighbors, others wonder if we are even legal! but the truth about it all is...
We like cows.
And chickens and the fresh smell of open spaces. Don't worry, we don't hate our neighbors, and I was just joking about that illegal thing, my family just thinks its more reasonable to get away from the mortgage and build on a big peace of land so the whole family can enjoy it for the rest of there lives until the generations end. Cool huh?
I personally am very excited about the whole thing, and yes there has been some emotional times with my friends that I will never get over, but actually, they won't be seeing me for a long time anyway.
Why again you say?
I am going to China!
How long? ONE WHOLE YEAR! yes, it is long and I know you want to ask why again so i'll just get this out in the open... My grandparents have been to china for what ever the reason and however long ago, but they some how figured out I am ready to go too, so we are emailing some friends of their's, and making the arrangements, and I will be gone in two months tops!
Hopefully.
I am also very excited about that. We have even had a thirty year old women who came to live with us for a year just so I could take her class in high school and learn the Chinese language.
It was the most difficult lessons I have ever gotten involved in, but it was also very fun, and I was the best in my class, but I wouldn't encourage you to try to learn it for any stupid reason, unlike my reasons.
Anyway, I have decided I will make it a goal to put as many pictures of china as possible on my blog so you can see them and get an idea of what I am up to and what I have seen.
But that's not all, stick around and I will gradually put other pictures of places I have already been in the United states, ( because thats the only place I have been able to go, ) and like I said, America is paradise and I'll prove it!

Ta Ta for now, and I wish you many adventures to come, and many adventures to share... That means share them with me...

:)
