First Blog

So... this is it... My first blog.

What should I write about? I've looked up how to blog, and whatnot, but everything seems like it's up to the writer. I don't have anything that I'm really knowledgable about, or anything I could sponsor or sell. The only way I've really seen a blog used is to just write about yourself and what you're doing. I'd like to use it like that, but I think that if I do, I'm going to write about something too personal or offend someone. If I keep it like an online journal, that's a little bit too much information that I'd be sharing with people. I know that I can write it however I want, but I'm just not sure. I guess for this first post, I'll just talk about myself.

I am a college student. I want to be a programmer for Blizzard Entertainment, and have ever since I was very little, and first introduced to StarCraft 64 (yes, good ol' SC64 on the N64). I have played every Blizzard PC game on the market, and really wish that I could at least try their GameBoy games. I really enjoy programming, but don't know an actual language well enough to make my own programs yet. I started using Game Maker when I was about twelve years old. I made some pretty badass games, I'd have to say, for being only twelve. I then gave that up and moved on to 3D animation, but never forgot about programming and that being my major goal.
I stuck with animation for two years or so during high school, but once I moved out, the program I bought was quite different from the program used at school. I went from Cinema 4D to Maya and 3DS Max. This was a hard transition for me, and I still haven't got used to either of them, but I would really enjoy learning how to use them.
After high school, I chose USU for a CS degree with a specialization in software development. I don't have any classes that teach me how to program, which really bugs me, but hopefully next semester I'll get into some CS stuff.

I feel like I've just been rambling about computers, and not about all of the other stuff I do.

I'm in a band, which is called A Dream Divided. We're from Tremonton, Utah, and most of us are out of high school. I play the guitar, scream, and sing. It's been pretty fun. We've been working hard on new, original material, and even have a couple of shows possibly lined up, if the places we talked to go through with it. You can find us on facebook, or at adreamdivided.com. We're working on getting our four songs down really good so that we can record our first demo CD. We've got Boxcar Bertha, This One's Number 2, and Smoke Break down really well. Now we just need to finalize A Song Without A Funny Name and we'll be ready to record. We won't be getting it done professionally; most likely, just with our PA system and my MacBook.

Next, I suppose I'll share some information about hunting and snowmobiling. These are the two "outdoorsy" things that I do. I suppose there isn't much to write about them, except that I love to do them, and enjoy the time spent with my family whilst doing them.

Well, this first post turned out to be quite a bit more than I was planning on, and took a lot more time than I thought it would. It didn't feel like it did, so it was a surprise to see that an hour has passed since I sat down and read a little about blogs, and then moved on to typing this first post. Now I've at least joined the blogging community.

Hello World.
