The Continuous Changes of Conlin McClaflin

 This is a quick post on the music I do. I'm trying to get what I've arranged viewed more by the public. Search for swordlover17 (Conlin McClaflin) on flat.io , and check out the couple of scores I have on there. They range from Captain America to Misty Mountains and more. If you don't have an account on Flat, get one, because music arranging is both fun and rewarding. Visit my scores, give them a listen, and use your new account to comment and like my music. I look forward to a comments-conversation with you!

  FIRE!   This is a totally random and unneeded post, but I'm doin' it anyway. This is a compiled list of everything I can possibly think of that can be used to ignite a fire. *Note* This is not a list of combustive conflagration to barely burning. NO. This is simply a list of anything I can think of that will burn, and it will be mainly liquids. Ready? Here we go! Gasoline Oil Kerosine PB Blaster Hand sanitizer Gunpowder Nail polish Rubbing Alcohol Normal alcohol (the drinking kind) Hairspray Spray paint? If there's anything else you think of that can add to this list, put it in the comments below! (I'll add it to the list after you do so, or make a new post about an addition to the flammable list.)

A Short Commentary on the Flags of the World Have you ever noticed why there's not really any flag of any nation on the globe that has any purple on it? This is because when countries were forming early on, the color purple was expensive (same reason only emperors of Rome only ever had purple clothing, because purple dye from the shellfish in Tunisia was expensive.). Now, that is understandable, but what about the countries that have flags now that have no purple? Well, some people just aren't creative. And we can agree that the USA has the best flag EVER?! Scotland's is interesting (maybe I'm just biased, being of Scottish stock m'self), but look at Ukraine's:     How boring is that?! A yellow stripe and a blue stripe. Nothing. Else. Italy, Ireland, Germany, these country's flags have one thing in common: They are boring, because nobody really thought about the design. (In my opinion, at least.) Now I know that the colors often mean something, but still, on...

 Weapons!!!   Interested in buying swords? Axes? Daggers? I gotcha covered! The sites I use for buying anything edged, movie replica or otherwise, are the links below: https://www.trueswords.com/    The only place I know where to find a blowgun or other ninja stuff. Really overpriced when it comes to movie replicas like The Lord of the Rings, but if you're willing, go for it. Just as nice versions (at almost half the price) can be bought at... https://www.hsbladesent.com/   Very affordable weapon replicas, especially from The Lord of the Rings. I have three of their swords. Anduril, Orcrist, and Rhindon from the Narnia movies. Very well made.   https://www.strongblade.com/   I have an engraved cutlass and basket-hilt claymore and dirk from this site. They are beautiful, and the shipping is reasonable. Engraving cost is $20 for any weapon.    AND if you're willing to spend hundreds upon hundreds of dollars, and you're a die-hard star wars fan ...

 My name is Conlin McClaflin.  I am a soon-to-be-graduated senior in high school. I have a love of history, fantasy, and too many other things to put here. They will come out as this blog becomes longer and longer.  I called this blog the Continuous Changes because I couldn't think of anything else to call it, and because I am going to be continually changing it! I included the word 'wee' in this title because I also love Scotland. My family is Scottish (among six other things, maybe more), and as my web address it kiltedpatriotatheart, that is a reference to what I would do if I was a Jacobite soldier in the 1745 Jacobite uprising. (And yes, I do have a kilt!) [And if anybody thought I would reference William Wallace there, I will get to that later on, most likely. If you don't want to have Braveheart ruined by a history junkie, then don't bother reading the post.] I would be strong and faithful to my clan and country. I declare that as an American as well. I am st...
