The Places You'll Go

I have been juggling things in my life for a long time, like a 40 something clown you has just realized he hasn't done anything I have hit a wall. I feel everything I do smothers out after awhile except for a few. One is playing the drums, the other two are video games and creating things.

I have been playing drums for 5 years now and music for 7 years. I started on Piano and went to drums when I realized that is was in-fact the coolest of instruments (behind the kazoo and pan flute). I have played on many sets from Mapex to Peavy, Ludwig and Yamaha. I have played drums older than my mother.

Video games is the one thing that really gets me away as much as music does. I have been playing since before 2000 (that's more than 10 YEARS!) Most kids today started on a Playstation 2, I started on an old (you guessed it) Nintendo 64. I had it all, Mario, Donkey Kong, Duck Shoot. You name I have played it. I have since gone through Playstation 1, 2, 3 and Xbox 360 as well as a Nintendo Gameboy Advanced, DS and a Wii. I also game on the computer as well as iPod. My top four games in no particular order (hard list) are following: Little Big Planet, Metal Gear Solid 4, World of Warcraft (face palm) and Oblivion. Honorable mention includes Call of Duty (1-MW2) (Yes, I have had every one) as well as Half Life 2.

Creating things are the driving force in my life. I love to create art, write, make music, create video game ideas, role play, build legos, customize things. It all started with a single lego kit way back in Arizona. It was a motor cycle and eventually would turn into a boat after I had tinkered with it. Tinkering and Hacking (the good kind) are both fun. I have used a Wii Remote, Xbox and Playstation Controller on a Computer.

This is the story of me, my life and how it almost never works

Three Cheers for Spring Break.

This Spring Break I went to Arizona, I used to live there. I had a great time and all but I am just glad I didn’t go to Florida or Mexico like everyone else in my town. Going to the same place is not vacation, it’s moving for a week. It’s like our whole town goes down there just to sit at the beach and tan. I could do that with a lamp, a bath tub and some picture of the beach. Just make sure the lamp doesn’t get wet.

Ruse, and Mass Effect

I recently have gotten into the Beta for the PC game called RUSE. Ruse is a RTS (Real Time Strategy) game. I also have bought Mass Effect (One) and plan to beat that then plan to go onto Mass Effect 2. I had Spring Break in Arizona, that was fun. Stayed with friends who live next to my old house. It was creepy seeing a different car go into the garage. (That’s what she said). Alright well, off to play RUSE!

Found Synergy

So I found Synergy today. I rocks…

Band again….and again….

I have been in band since July 2009. I feel like this will never end :D. Oh well, it’s been fun. So I am at band, you are at home. Have fun.

Starting Today

Seeing as my life seems to be pretty interesting today and I always have wanted to have one I am going to start using my blog for real. I do not know what to write about it I know something will come of it. I bought a camcorder and said I was going to make Vlogs (Video Blogs) but that didn’t work because I was going to do it during Lab A in the band room but it seems we are not allowed down there anymore during Lab A :(  Noting else has really happened recently. Winter Percussion is almost over, I can’t decide if I am going to do it next year. It seems it sucked the life out of me. Oh well….

Girl Scout Cookies

Today I got my girl scout cookies. I got a box of Tag Alongs which are basically a heart attack wrapped in chocolate and peanut butter. I ate a whole box, all by myself.
