Something I forgot to mention in my first couple blogs is my love for music. I listen to quite a broad spectrum of music, and I'm constantly looking for new and unique sounds, or just something i can jam to in the car. Anyways, I really want to share my latest discovery, Richy Nix. Don't bother trying to get any thing of his off of iTunes, because none of his good stuff is up there, however, the playlist of songs he has on his myspace is really, really good.
Heres a link:

Also, I would like to point out a decently good band I've been listening to for a while now: Ra. They do have a song that might sound familiar, called "Do You Call My Name". To my knowledge, Ra is on itunes and I highly recomend their stuff.

Anyways, a little bit more about me: I work at a bar, in the kitchen. It sucks, but its a job. I do however take great pride in my work, and like quite a few of the regulars, and everyone there loves me. So i guess it isnt too bad. I mentioned my car earlier, I actually have two (sort of). First, and most important, I drive a 1998 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP with a completely custom exhaust, K&N air filter, MSD superconductor wires, all riding on chrome 20's (in the summer that is). There is not a day I get in this car and don't drive over 100. (What can I say, I like to take advantage of an open road if its in front of me). Second, I have a 2000 Chevy Blazer 4x4. This is my winter vehicle for my long treks to school through the snow. I call it the danger blazer because everytime i get in it, I feel like im going to die. (Because its a piece of shiot.) I also mentioned I'm big into paintball. I started off playing for fun, but now I'm captain of a relatively well known team around the so mich area. (thats southern michigan btw). The politics of it stresses me out, but then there is no better stress relief than going out and shooting the crap out of people. That being said, my banner is something i made as a signature for the paintball forums i frequent. I'm putting it here until i have time to make something related to games. BTW, that is me on the left. Now... as far as gaming goes. My whole life i've alternated between PC gaming and console gaming. Right now, I'm leaning more towards the PC side of things. I havn't really touched my 360 in months (even though ive been paying for XBL... doh!!!). But... when the semester is over i'll probably get back in to the swing of things. Well, some people tell me that sleep is important, so im going to go do that now.

So this is my first blog... ever. (That means on any site period.) Anyways, I'll start by saying a few things about myself. I'm currently a computer science major at Oakland University. People tell me I'm an amazing programmer, but I usually try to be modest in front of people (with a couple exceptions). I've been playing games since I could hold a controller in my hand, and I still love the old school stuff. (simplicity is golden) Unfortunately I dont have too much time for games anymore since school is pretty intense sometimes, but i still try and play occasionally. Other than games, my main obsession is paintball. Mayjaps i'll say a little bit more about that in the future. I also love driving, FAST. I love my car, and I dont let anyone drive it except for me (or if im too tired and have no idea what is going on). Any who, thats all for now since i have to go to class.
