Not going to have a super long post today. I am currently on a 7 round trip to Albany, NY. I will make a longer post once I am back home.

WoW, Hail and Mardi Gras
So, a few weeks back, well almost a month ago now. Our friend Katie visited from Canada. Towards the end of her week long visit, we agreed to play World of Warcraft together. I had never played and it seemed like a good way to stay in contact with one another.
I have been playing the game on and off for a month now. Only a few hours a day, and only a few days a week. So it has been fun for me, a good use of time that I have laying around. Yes, I have time laying around my room.
Today, I was going to go jogging, it was the first real spring day we had. But the sky decided it was time for hail. Of all things hail. I would have jogged in the rain or snow, but hail hurt. It was an indoor day instead. Which I played some more WoW. Today I broke my goal of getting to level 30. It was fun to get to this point alone in the game. I think i am doing pretty well.
This weekend we have a local Mardi Gras party. So I will post some pictures and maybe a video of the parade. It should be a fun party and a good excuse to get out of the house finally.
Super quick post today, not a lot happened, and not a lot hit my head to discuss. But more will come soon.

Community and Responsibility
Community and Responsibility are 2 words I have heard a lot this week. They really got me thinking about how they apply to my life as a whole. And well, they do and they don't. Both words can take on so many meanings depending on a person and some may not fit with others.
Community to me is a strong tight knit group of friends who have each others backs. One falls down, the rest jump in to help them back up. My community is made up of my girlfriend, my close family and some friends. Sadly though over the last week or so, my community has been struck with hardship. Friends turning on friends, friends canceling life altering plans and family's fighting. I think most people have forgotten the community they are in, and instead put themselves above it all. My community is crumbling around me, but a new tighter knit one is forming from the rubble.
Now, responsibility is a big thing. Every kid wants responsibility. They want to be trusted with something. But once you get older, you want nothing to do with it. You want nothing to do with taking the blame for your own actions. Sadly if you don't notice, this hurts the ones around you. You can not just leave the problems you created for someone else to pick up.
Then, for me there is something in between, communal responsibility. You take responsibility for not just your own actions, but those of the whole community Ones failure becomes your own, ones success becomes you're success story. You take not just your personal actions onto you anymore. This is what builds a strong group in my opinion.
So, today was just a rant day for me, I have been having some trouble with some friends and some community members, and this is really just to get my point of view across.
I might be taking a trip in a few weeks to go visit some places for our move, so I was thinking on top of the normal daily post I would add in a Vlog of the drive or maybe just a look around the area. Something a little extra.

Lazy Days
So, today was yet another lazy day for me. My girlfriend went back home yesterday after spending a week with me. My room couldn't feel more empty than it did today. I have had no motivation to go do anything at all. I suppose some days are just lazy days and we have to leave it at that. People can't always be motivated all the time, can they?
I am still working on the "About Me" post I want to put up. I want to be sure you guys will get a good representation of who I am and more about me so I am not just the random blogging guy. But be expecting an about me post soon.
Also, on a side note, for those of you curious, my posts will mostly be in the evening so you can watch out for them. Also every new update I make is posted to my twitter, so if you follow me on twitter you will see my blog pop up. If you do not follow me on twitter, well I will leave a link below for you to find the account.
Follow me on Twitter
That is all for this post, not to exciting, I am sorry. But next time I will make a funny story or give you some crazy thing to think about I promise, as I said, today is a lazy day.

Blogging FAQ
I am new to this blogging thing. I have posted a couple times now, but I am still trying to find my style and my voice on here. This post is mostly just going to be some guidelines and information on the blog for all of you that are interested. Sort of an FAQ of sorts.
Q. What will be posted on this blog?
A. Well, you see, this is my personal blog, so almost anything could be posted here. My daily re-cap, a story I wrote, a poem or even a rant out at something I am upset over. But whatever I do post will be very fun to read and contain some humor to lighten up the mood.
Q. When will you update the blog?
A. Very simple answer for this. I want to update the blog daily. Now that can mean just one post a day, but on most occasions more. As things happen and thoughts cross my mind, I will share them.
Q. Why write a blog?
A. I wanted to write a blog to communicate and reach a wider audience of people on the internet. Sometimes it is simpler for me to put out my thoughts to the masses and see what they think. The blog for me is a release, a way to empty the thoughts filling my head on a daily basis.
Q. Should we comment on the posts or share the posts?
A. Yes, of course, all comments are welcome. Actually if you want to give me advice or an idea you want me to blog about, tell me straight up. Sharing of my blog is encouraged, I want to reach all the people I can with my thoughts and silly ideas.

Day 2, Snow storm, Zombies, Sherlock and more
Today was a pretty eventful day so far. Since my last post, I have got about 3 hours of sleep. Not a whole lot, but i have never been a big fan of sleep. I feel like I will be missing something if I sleep to much. So to occupy my time, I finished off the current episodes of Sherlock. I have to say, that show is a masterpiece.
The characters in Sherlock are so memorable, and the cases on the show bring back childhood memories for me. I can still remember reading the books in the school library. This show has me hooked bad. But the one thing is, having read the books, the episodes are a bit predictable. But they are still amazing and fun to watch, and seeing it on the screen makes it all the different. I whole heartily recommend the show to everyone. The first two seasons are on Netflix now.
Sherlock took me into the early morning, till about 9am. Then my mom called me to go to McDonalds for her breakfast, Yuck! So i threw on mt jacket and drove the 5 minutes to pick up the food from the drive through along the way, I noticed it was snowing and that I needed a coffee badly. So I got myself a coffee with the meal and headed back home for more entertainment.
Coffee with vanilla coconut milk is wonderful, I am in love with coffee again after years of not having any.
Now, the snow storm. It is not to bad, some snow on the roads, but the rant from this is to you drivers. You are the most dangerous thing on the road. Driving 15 in a 50 zone and grinding your breaks down every hill is going to get someone killed. Just go a bit slow, and learn to drive in the snow. We live in Vermont, we are born knowing how to traverse snow. You folks almost caused three accidents, two including me in just under 40 minutes and 20 miles of driving.
Zombies! The Walking Dead is high on my list of shows. I just finished watching the new episode, and this show is another that has me hooked. But it is falling for me, I know it based off a comic, but it is loosely based off it. The show is taking a wrong focus for me, so the hook might be slipping out of me.
That is my day so far, might get to bed early tonight. But might also stay up a little late depending on how tired I am. But figured I would get my post across now just in case. Yes, I know, technically i already posted today. But figured you guys deserve some more info. I got some stuff to rant about next time and also plan to give you all a good "About Me" post.
Till next time,

New Blog, Same story.
The first post of a new blog. Not sure what to say. Life is hectic at the moment. Its 4:35am and I am sitting in my room staring at computer screens. The same screens I have been staring at for hours. Always busy though, tonight was no exception. Got my server up and running, catching up on Sherlock, which is a great show, more about that later though. Besides that, chatted with some friends, working out some things with some enemies and most of all drinking lots of tea.
I love tea, drinking tea and catching up on shows while I work is my favorite thing to do. Well, i best get back to my work now, got lots to do before the sun starts shining in the window next to me. Guess this post came out pretty good for a first shot.
