You stay classy

Who am I? Probably that guy you always look at and wonder, "What the shit is going on in his world, right now?" Not that I'm crazy looking or anything like that, although I do have brown hair and a BRIGHT red beard. I'm just always talking and going from one thought to the next, people either love it or hate it. There are those that I've met in my life that I keep in stitches and others that laugh now and then but tend to fade away. That's how it should be, there doesn't need to be a big blowout, but just simple friend fading so that you're left with the high dollar ones. Sorry, tangent number one. (+_)

I had struggled with what to write about in my first post and so my wife told me to just write about what I'm going to write about. She suggested I write about what I will be blogging about, I won't lie, it's going to vary. I love my wife, my baby to be (2/01/2011), barbecue (BBQ none of that grill stuff and don't you dare steam my pork), video games, my friends, coffee, and the list just continues.

My fascination with video games started when I was young. It was Christmas and my grandmother gave me and my sister our very own NES with Super Mario Brothers and Duck Hunt, a side note, I still have it. It got me through those rough awkward times and through tough emotion spots as I was able to blast everything and anything or drive 149mph and crash into a wall. Not that I wanted to kill everything and crash my car into a wall in real life, was just a grief mechanism that let me vent silently. Which was good because I'm not little and as my high school principal stated, I scare people when I'm angry. It's not my fault he was smaller than me and it's not my fault he had a glass jaw, come on! Tangent number two.(+_)

I want to say that Zelda changed my life, but that would be mildly ridiculous. It taught me patience and persistence. In, A Link to the Past, there was one cavern with one boulder that you had to push a certain way in order to open the doorway and get an item. Well, I spent a month trying to do this. It drove me absolutely crazy as I'm normally really quick to understand things and figure out puzzles. So after a month of just trying this and trying that I finally got it and was overjoyed, that instance was more rewarding than actually beating the game.

More to come!
