Caity was nice enough to give me five words to blog about, so here I am blogging about them.
Family
I used to think that I didn’t really have much of a family. For most of my life the only actual family that I had known was my father, mother, and grandmother. I went to my uncle’s funeral a few weeks ago and found out that I have cousins, those cousins have children, and I even have second and third cousins that I have never met in other parts of the world. I’d like to stay as close as I can to my family, after all, they are my heritage and my family can be traced back hundreds of years. I think I am finally seeing why family is so important to so many people, it just took me longer than most I guess.
Blogging
I like blogging, though it can get to be a pain sometimes, but all in all it provides an outlet for me to speak, that is when I can speak and not be bound by nondisclosure agreements. For the most part what I write here is completely 100% real. I used to do paid bloggings, until Google dropped my page rank, but looking back I realize that was a really low point in my blog. I lost all my visitors from back then and I am just starting to try and get them all back.
Games
I love games. There is nothing like just sitting back and relaxing after a hard day of work and beating up some virtual enemies like Nazis, Spartans, zombies, or the horrific Nazi Zombies. I have been a gamer my whole life. I actually cannot remember the first system I owned, I know it had a gun and some ghosts that would talk and tell me not to shoot them, but soon after that I remember getting a Nintendo Entertainment System. I’ve had a lot of consoles since then, Super Nintendo, Sega Genesis, Sony Playstation, Sony Playstation 2, X-Box, X-Box 360, Nintendo Wii. I’ve loved all the consoles that I have owned for many different reasons. Super Nintendo had some great games like Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, Genesis had Mortal Kombat with the blood in it. My Wii is completely different, I just wish it had better graphics and games. My 360 is what I play most though, because there’s just nothing like hopping online with some friends or strangers to beat the crap out of other people. It definitely beats playing alone.
Photography
I haven’t really photographed much in a while. I did take pictures at a Labor Day fireworks display, but other than that I have been really lacking lately. There’s really no excuse, if I had a more high end camera, I still probably wouldn’t take as many pictures as I would like. I suppose the not taking pictures come from not knowing what to take pictures of, on top of just really not having much inspiration. When we were living by the beach it was completely different. Watching the sunrise over the ocean was majestic, although I could also watch the sunset over the Sound here, but I can barely get over there for sunset, so maybe that’s why I don’t take as many pictures anymore. I had plans to actually make a lightbox at one point and set up fruit bowls among other things in it, but it never came about. Who knows, maybe one day I will build the lightbox and start taking professional looking photographs.
Programming
Programming is much more than my job, it is my art and it is my true passion. I am usually working on one thing or another in this language or that one. I’ve been programming since high school, it is what I studied in college, and it is what I do on an everyday basis. I’ve done C++, Visual BASIC, PHP, Javascript, Actionscript and more. I’ve been doing simple stuff like HTML and CSS for over ten years and I can see me doing this for at least another ten more years. Any script I download I modify in some way to better make it better, from WordPress and creating plugins, to Enthusiast 3, all the scripts I use on my site are in some way modified by me to work better for me or my visitors.
