Hey, y'all. Long time, no see. I told all of you that I left, which is true. However, I have been keeping up with some of my friend's blogs and decided I wanted to update you all on how my year's been. Note: This does NOT mean I'm coming back and am going to blog regularly. I just wanted to give you an update since I've left, both with my gaming life and more personal life.
I pretty much paid no attention to video games until about June, when I finally had the funds to get a PS2 and Guitar Hero 2. I eventually got Guitar Hero and then, when it came out, Guitar Hero 3. I have become pretty good at that game as I can beat all of Guitar Hero 2 except for Jordan on expert. On Guitar Hero 3, I actually had high score #22 for a short while on Miss Murder by A.F.I. Unfortunately, on Thanksgiving, my younger cousins were arguing over the guitar controllers and pulled my PS2 off the shelf. My PS2 still plays, but GH3 no longer works. I was ticked off to say the least, because GH3 had some amazing songs... Oh, well...
I've also kind of flip-flopped around on if I want a 360 or not. For a while, I decided I did. Then I decided I wanted a Wii and Super Mario Galaxy. Now I'm pretty much happy where I'm at. Besides, I kind of need to save my money for a couple reasons
On a more personal note, I've been doing great. I got a car back in October, and youth group has been amazing. Over this year, I've gotten really close to all the people I met last Christmas. One girl in particular. She became my best friend, because she was someone I could really talk to all about God. She has to be the most amazing girl I've ever met. Which is the reason why I finally told her I that I liked her over Christmas. She made me completely happy by telling me that she likes me, too. We have now been dating about a month and it's been amazing. I really like her.
I've gotten a ton more into music over the past year. I'm usually buying several CDs a week. Let's put it this way. I'm the BigC43 of music, lol. My favorite bands now range from Muse to the White Stripes to the Killers to Avenged Sevenfold, and the list could go on and on and on...
The point is, I'm loving life right now and, while I certainly don't want to put any of you guys off to gaming, but once I started taking my focus off of the next game I'm going to get and put it on the people around me and God, things just seemed to click and get much better. Don't get me wrong. The past year hasn't been all sunshine. But my life is so much happier now that I'm focusing my life on more than just things. It's not wrong by any means to like games. Even to love games. I love my music and probably spend more than I should on it, but I just try to keep focusing my attention on God continually. Just make sure you have you're priorities right. Meet some people, make some friends, get into your church. Just make sure you're not wasting away.
As a final farewell and a treat to you guys, I'll post a couple of pictures of my girl and me on our church youth retreat a couple weeks ago. Take care.
