Hello people of the Internet, I'm East. It would be cool to know that someone does check out this totally random blog. In the past I've heard of bloggers of all kinds. People who talk about their interest, review business and politics, post their opinions about things they've come across, etc. To be honest I don't know what my blog will entirely be about. What I do know is that every subject I talk about here will be the entire truth as I know it. Sometimes, I may not be as informed as another source out there, but it is my goal to do some research before running my mouth.
Let's start with who I am. At the moment, I'm a student like so many others. Wednesday will mark the beginning of my senior year of high school. In a few weeks, I'll be officially trying to apply for colleges in my state. My goal is to become involved in some area of the video game design field. When I get to college, I hope to surround myself with people who can help me gather skills from all the associated fields. I have a bit of skill as a creative writer, but writing stories for a game (I imagine) is probably another level. A few of my friends who shared the video game design class I had last year, tried to convince me not to pursue the field. They talked about how it is more paperwork than we originally thought. That's isn't a big deterrent on my part. My best friend seemed a bit daunted by the paperwork, but it's no big deal.
I'm not interested in much at school. I used to be an athlete, but with the dawn of my junior year, I became increasingly lazy. The only club that I actively participate in is the Writing Club. Our president named me chaplain this year. She hopes that active prayer will deter the extremely negative writings that came from one of our senior members last year. Lord willing, I'll do my best. For a good amount of the summer, I've been thinking and writing about the types of activities the club can do. My president will have a lot on her plate because of the classes that she took, so the other officers and I will have to support her more than ever. Leaving a legacy for the club to have, that will be on all of us. There probably won't be any lasting tradition between the club members until much later, but I want to do many things with the club this year.
The one thing that has taken up most of my time this summer is definitely YouTube. I've spent hours upon hours watching whatever I wanted to on YouTube. Music videos, amvs, vlogs, gaming videos, spoken word, and many more. Gaming videos take up most of my time because I want to see how others play games that I don't have the resources to get. I'll be honest, my family isn't well off. Do I have a gaming console? Yes, I thank my God and my mother for providing that. Do I have all the games that I want to play? Of course not. Who does? So why not watch on the sidelines until I can afford the games myself. A part of the personality that I won't describe in full for you guys is that I don't like to ask for anything that puts an extra burden on my mother. Now I have to wait until I can work up the money myself to get the games.
Speaking of work, readers pray for me. There are three job opportunities in my area that I'll be applying to as well. Hopefully one of them won't say that they are looking for someone with more experience. How are people supposed to get experience without being a noob in the beginning!?! Volunteer work can only take you so far. I've been cleaning my mom's kitchen for years, but I'm not qualified to sweep the store's floors? Does that make any sense. Yes, I know there is more to it than simply sweeping the floors (hit the bathroom as well, take out the trash, someone was sick at table 7). I don't see why it's so troublesome to hire a person. Being hesitant about hiring someone is understandable, but a person who desperately needs a job won't compromise himself or the company. Readers, please don't think that just because I have a computer, cell phone, and a X-Box 360 that I'm living in the lap of luxury. All those came before our fall. At the moment, we are sustained by the government. That's why I need a job so desperately. I don't like being dependent.
That's enough for now. I shall return on Friday most likely. Thank you for reading and welcome to the Lair of the Eastern Wind.
