Adrenaline

It was in the summer in mexico visiting my dad for the summer. We were out on his sailboat travelling and we had 6 huge fishing rods. About after 2 hours of towing the lines, one of them got a bite and the tip of the rod bent all the way down. I jumped up and ran to the fishing rod and I tried starting to reel it in. I could see it in the distance and it was a 5 foot barracuda! A jolt of excitement hit me and adrenaline kicked in. I sat on the chair we use to reel in the fish and have the rod a huge yank. The fish quickly responded and gave a huge yank right back. I pulled as hard as I could. My hands were shaking and I reeled it in some more. The fish was only 5 feet away and my dad grabbed the hook used to grab the fish. "One more big pull" yelled my dad and I jerked it aboard. I was shaking all over success overwhelming me. I set down the rod and got a closer look. I was right! A huge 5 foot barracuda around 50 pounds! My dad looked at me with a huge smile on his face. it looks like I caught dinner! It tasted all the much better just because I caught it!

Xbox Abuse

One day I was playing on my xbox and it just powered off. I started it up got the red ring of death. I've had it before and usually all you had to was unplug everything and start it back up so I tried that I turned everything back on and the red light was still there. I took out the hard drive, blew out all the dust, and put it back in. The red light was still there, flashing, mocking me. I picked up my xbox ran to the kitchen tossed it in the microwave and set it on defrost. the machine made a loud whirring noise and there was multiple flashes of blue electricity. the microwave burst into flames and the fire alarm went off. I grabbed a bowl filled it and dumped it on the microwave. The door creaked open and a sizzling puddle of melted plastic sat there in the microwave. What was left of my xbox slid out of the door onto the floor in a slop of wires and plastic. It looked like it had just been nuked. The microwave was okay but i couldn't say the same for my xbox.Good thing i got that extended warranty.
