Where to begin?

I suppose this will end up being a bit of a restart for the blog. Not necessarily a new direction, just a renewed purpose. I'm still devoting it mainly to video games and to a somewhat lesser extent the day-to-day machinations of my life, but I'm going to be updating more and more frequently as I pursue a future in journalism. I really, truly believe that this is what I want to do for the rest of my days, and I figure the sooner I start getting my name out there the better.

I can totally dig the sound of that. Now, at the moment I'm working with eventualities. Currently I'm enrolled for a 6-year term in the United States Air Force, and despite some moral reservations about military action, I absolutely intend to serve those years in full. When I get out of the service, however, I will need something to do with my life, so I guess I'll just start now.

Contained within these posts will be issues I feel like discussing concerning video games and video game culture, with a little bit of everything else thrown in for good measure. I like to mix things up, so it's going to be a frickin' blender 'round these parts most of the time.

It should be a good time.
