5 Year GameSpot Anniversary

So November 4th, 2004 I joined the ranks of GameSpot. I was 15. And stupid.

Over the years there have been so many things I've wanted to say to so many people and just haven't had the time. There have been a lot of stories, a lot of concerts, and a whole lot of semi-colons. I want to thank all of you for making my stay here an enjoyable one; for commenting on my blogs, for making blogs for me to comment on; for putting up with my shenanigans. Thank you!

To celebrate, I've put up this fancy new blog banner that was made by mryoto over at WeGame. Check out that site if you haven't already. The community is kind of crap but the videos and the recording software are really neat.

There are a few things I'd like to share with you.

I've been dubbed a "black hole of negative emotions" by my friends here at school. The story behind it is a tale for another day. Goes back a long ways.

A list of a few things about me:

  • I live in New Hampshire, and have for all of my 20 years of being. I occasionally have a New England accent.
  • I've been a gamer since Christmas when I was 4 and I got my GameBoy
  • I'm a whole lot more intelligent in writing but I can still hold my own in a conversation
  • I play the trombone and have since the 5th grad, for more than 10 years.
  • I've been involved with music for all of those years and I've played with: A Christian rock band, a funk band that played with Chuck Norris, a classic rock cover band and multiple jazz bands and I've played with or for Clark Terry, Jimmy Heath, and Antonio Hart. Favorite 3 bands are Chicago, Streetlight Manifesto, and The Mighty, Mighty Bosstones.
  • I'm a Junior in college studying for a degree in Chemical Engineering
  • I'm pretty miserable and stressed out, as well.

I was pretty indecisive about what to include in this post. There's so much that I want to share but it would ruin the mood. It took me an hour to narrow down what I wanted to share.

So here we are, at the end of another blog. I guess if there's any questions, I'd be happy to take them but I can't really be sure as to when I'd be able to answer them. If not, see you in the start of a new GS year. Have a good night, all
