30 years war

So the thirty years war started way back with Charles V.
So Charles had a brother and his name was Ferdinand. He got the title holy Roman emperor after his brother died Charles V. Then when Ferdinand died he passed the german lands and title down to his son Maximilian who then passed it onto his son Matthias. And then when Matthias died he had no children so he gave it to his cousin Ferdinand II. At those times Germany was a country and had a lot of different little places all ruled by different princes. And the Princes could choose to either be Catholic or Protestant. Most of the princes were Protestant but Ferdinand like his Great uncle Charles V was a Catholic. He did not like Protestant people he passed some laws that made the people in his part of Germany to be Catholic. The Protestant people didn't like this, especially in this on part called Bohemia. They took up their people to protest against Ferdinand. But Ferdinand was not it Germany. But he had left to people to rule his land for him. When the people came to protest the two people got scared and told them to leave but they broke in and threw them out of a window 50 ft from the ground. But they landed in poooooop splaat. So they were safe. But when Ferdinand came back he got mad. After a little bit he wanted to be the Holy roman emperor but he first had to convince 7 other princes. So he got an army with help from Austria and Spain and he went to Bohemia and killed all of the rebels very quickly and he executed anyone who tried to oppose him. Then he took the Protestant land and gave it to his Catholics. But instead of having no one else try to go with the rebellion people got worried and denmark and england joined forces and attacked Ferdinand when they met a lot of people died and it went on for actually 41 years not 30.

Tobacco in North America and African slaves

So from Europe people went to the Americas because they had a lot of good things like furs, fresh fish, and gold. But once all of the gold ran out then they found a new gold green gold. Tobacco, People tried planting tobacco at North america but they said that it did not taste good it was to bland lacked taste. So they took tobacco seeds from Spain and then they planted it there. They made their tobacco like this. First they would plant the tobacco then they would take the leaves and dry them and then roll them into dust. So they started planting a lot of tobacco in north america. Then they would smoke it. But the king didn't like it he said that the tobacco was bad for the people and ruined their lungs. The people didn't have good doctors back then so they kept on smoking tobacco. But soon they had to much tobacco and they had start making farms. But for farms they needed people to take care of them so when the farms got bigger they started getting slaves from Africa. So first the Europeans went to Africa traded pots and pans and other stuff like that for slaves then they went to North America and then they traded slaves for furs, fish, tobacco and other things, then they went back to Europe. This was called the triangular trade. After this Africa started losing a lot of people. So they started to stand their ground and not let the Europeans take their people. In one part of Africa an African queen named Ana Nzinga Mbande. She had a couple sisters and she helped the king fight the Europeans. This battle went on for a long time and soon the king died and someone else inherited the throne. But he was a coward and did not really want to fight the Europeans. Nzinga was mad she told him to fight them. A little after she got an English army general to help them and train their army to use guns. And soon they were doing pretty good but then the king called for peace and he told Nzinga to tell them to stop. So she went and called for peace and all was well.

Soccer best sport ever

So to me soccer IS the best sport in the world. Ok maybe your thinking but I am to old I can't play soccer, well you can still watch and that is almost as good as playing it. But if you can play it you might say I don't like it because I am not very good. Well you can either play with other not very good kids or you can try to get better. I would recommend getting better. Ok but what if your one of the people that is good but not good enough for that team. Two solutions. One bad and one good. The bad one is to give up soccer and try a different sport. The good solution is to work hard and get better for that team. I just love soccer but what if your one of the people who says OK I can't run well this one is a little more long term but still you can play soccer while not running that fast. Goalkeeper is the short term one and the long term one is losing weight by eating good food with full fat and not eat grains. You also can excercise like riding a bike or walking and then jogging a little.
I hope you try out soccer and if you don't at least watch it. I don't play any other competitive sport but soccer.

My play in soccer practice

So today in practice I had a very good play. I was wearing the Adidas 16.2 cage soccer shoes. So this practice session I was doing a lot of really good hard tackles and on one of those I stole it from this kid named Logan. and I dribbled past him then I took the ball and faked one way and went the other way against a kid named Sames but the touch was a little to long and another kid named Finn hesitated a little bit which gave me enough time to poke the ball threw his legs then another of my team mates almost took the ball but let it come to me and then I came to this defender which I didn't do very good against the other times but this time I was able to make him take my bait and go one way while I went the other and the I did a low driven cross that went to this kid named Carmen but he couldn't get a good foot on it and it went wide. And that was my good play.

Christmas and other things

So I know that is a little early to start thinking of Christmas but is it ever actually early to think of Christmas. I think I am going to get PES 2017 maybe I am still thinking about that. I am also going to get $200 for Christmas to buy what I want. I am thinking to save up the money untill I get my other $100 for my birthday. I also am looking forward to Thanksgiving I am goin to be making some sort of dessert for 7 people. I am still thinking about it, I did pies last year. Maybe I will do Pies again. I also just finished reading the five kingdoms book four. It was called the Death Weavers. It was Written by Brandon Mull. He is a Mormon and he was a roommate with my dad in College. He is a really good writer, he also wrote Fablehaven and Beyonders. Two really good series. So what happens in book four of the Five Kingdoms is that Cole the boy who went with some of his friends into the Outskirts by being kidnapped in someones Basement on Halloween. After the other three books Cole meets his brother Hunter. But he does not remember him because that is how it is in the Five kingdoms if you go in then your family and friends don't remember  you. But now they are in necronum and are trying to find Destiny and Honor. Two of the daughters of the high king. He was good but then he became bad. Then there is this thing called the Echolands. You can go to the echolands and then you become an echo. You don't get tired you can't get hurt that easily and your shaping power is really good there. But Cole's Shaping power was mangled by Morgassa a bad monster. But later in the book he goes into a Slipstream and he gets his power back and then he is able to send Nazeem into a prison that resets itself every millisecond.

Christmas 2016

I can't wait for Christmas.
I am going to get these awesome Nike Free Hypervenom 3.0.
They are basically a running/soccer shoe. So they do have the nike skin on them but they have the running sole. I like the blue color the best. I also live typing I used to play Nitro Type It improved my typing skills tremendously. I am up to 78 WPM. I also love reading I have just finished a history book and started a new one. I also am starting a book called the false prince. It is about a bad man who is trying to get boys who look identical to the current prince because the prince disappeared so the bad man wants power and he could tell the boys what to do and because there the prince they could do it. I don't know what happens next but I can't wait to find out. In the history book I just read about Henry Hudson. An English sea explorer. He had a hard life but in the end they named a bay after him. The Hudson Bay. He started his journey and was trying to find a passage that went through Canada and out to India, China and Japan. But when they couldn't find it the sailors wanted to turn back but Henry wanted to keep on going. So one of the sailors wanted to commit mutiny against Henry. So Henry turned back. But he wouldn't stop there he got enough money and went on a ship again but this time over Russia. He hired some sailors but very stupidly he hired the same sailor that had tried to do mutiny last time. So they set off and soon they found out that they couldn't go through the top of Russia so Henry said Ok We'll go back home. But he didn't go home he wanted to try to get through Canada again. When the Sailors saw that they were not going hop they did the Mutiny. THey forced him into a boat and threw him into the icy coast of Canada with no food. He died and when the Ship made it back home there were only five sailors left.

Soccer games this year

So recently I have been playing with a lot of different soccer teams. I am pretty good at soccer and I play Attacking Midfielder, Defending Midfielder and Center back. I can also playa on the wings and striker but my best positions are the ones above. I really like playing soccer. You make a lot of friends, you learn new skills and you have fun while your playing especially when you score. So the teams that I play with are GPS North Shore, GPS NPL, GPS National Team and  Newburyport Town team. The town team is basically a Seacoast team because all of the kids from the team play for Seacoast. We have one all of our games so far this season with Newburyport town. I play Attacking Midfielder for Newburyport Town. Oh something I forgot to mention is that I play U 14 for GPS North Shore and Newburyport Town. But I play U12 for the other teams. I am eleven so I am playing up for Newburyport Town and GPS North Shore. I play Center Back for Gps NPL and GPS National Team. I play Defensive Midfield and Attacking midfield for GPS North Shore. I really enjoy playing soccer not just because I get a lot of cool uniforms but I feel so excited and happy when I am playing. It's like there can't be a day without soccer. :)
