Redo: An Introduction

Hello again reader,

After my spiel yesterday, I felt that I owe an apology to any readers who may not know me directly (why you're interested in my blog is unknown to me, but yay you!).  I say, this demands a proper introduction!

My name is Marcus.  My last name is unnecessary, but on the other hand, if you're that curious, it's not too difficult to find that sort of information.  I'm a 21 year old guy who goes to college for a Business Degree in Network Communication Technologies.  I also work full time at a manufacturing shop and part time at Target.  Now, for the interesting information...

I enjoy long walks on the beach, feeling sand between my toes, sipping champagne under the moonlight and listening to music like Kieth Urban and Taylor Swift...

And now you wake up and realize that all of what I just said was bullshit.  I'm pretty sure that the description above would better summarize my girlfriend, Ashley's, interests...which are the complete opposite of mine.  The truth is I do work those jobs and go to school for what I claimed, but my hobbies have little to do with that.  I love video games.  When the average person sits down to dwindle away a small portion of their life, be it over a bowl of cereal in the morning or after a hot shower in the evening, they would typically turn on the television and momentarily rot their mind.

Me, on the other hand, I prefer to turn on the television, switch it to HDMI3 and turn on my xbox to shave off some of my life.  Now, don't mistake me for the type of person that, when spotted across the parking lot from a standard individual, is strikes the thought of "That fat loser probably plays WoW every day of his life".  I feel that I tend to blend well into a crowd of people, and as such, enjoy going to public places with my friends who I deem "socially acceptable".  Being a nerd, I do have those friends that I have a hard time taking to a public area.  The kind that, when I would go to a coffee shop and grab a frappuchino, the person behind us would think to themselves "can this man not afford hot water and soap for a shower?" (Sidenote: Busta, if you're reading this, I'm not implying anything about you, even though we did go to a coffee shop, I just used that as an example since my cup of coffee here determined my example.)

But back to the point, interests.  As you may have noticed, I also am quite fond of coffee.  Not so much the Maxwell House type of coffee, but the "I'm going to have to take out a second mortgage on my house because this cup of coffee is so freaking overpriced" type of coffee.  Another tidbit about myself, I am highly amused by sarcasm. 

Many people, including every one of my closest friends, would classify me as an ass/dick/jerk/bastard.  I gladly admit to all of the above (except the bastard part...I do know who my father is) and I enjoy the thoughts of rude comments and racist jokes.  But I'm not racist. Busta won't believe me...but I enjoy the company of all different types of individuals. 

Now, let's do some Q&A (since SO many people are asking me...)

Q: Do you play WoW?
A: Yes.

Q: What server/horde or alliance/real id?
A: Bloodhoof/alliance mainly, but I've got an 80 belf/the same email or name I've got on here or facebook...or just send me a private message on facebook.

Q: What systems do you have?
A: All of them.

Q: What's your psn/xbl account name?
A: Jellosnake.

Q: Is that an innuendo?
A: Yes, for what your mother had last night.

Q: Fuck off.
A: That's not a question

Q S: Fuck off.
A: Alright.

Coming back from my pretend conversation with myself, maybe that ^^^ up there gave you an idea of what I'm like. 

Now, before I end today's spiel and hope that I can top my number of views from yesterday's number of 21 (the majority of which where Ashley) I'd like to elaborate on the interesting events of the day.

The short: Woke up, Count Chocula, Accounting, clothes shopping, Fable III.
The detail: On my way out of my apartment today, I noticed a Uhaul truck as I approached my Honda Civic LX '07 (<---my lover).  In the truck was a guy who reminded me of someone I once saw in a youtube video.  I casually said hi to be nice, seeing as he was going to be a neighbor soon, and continued to my car.  As the man said hi and proceeded to exit the end of the truck, he turned to me as I was getting into my car and said "Glad to see I'm not the only gamer here".

Now, I take pride in being a nerd/geek.  So much so, that I'd get pissed more if someone called me a not-geek than if they were to tell me they were going to remove my left testicle, but the statement made me stop and think.  "Do I just ooze an aura of games? Oh my God, do my clothes smell that bad? I did shower this morning right?" 

And then I looked down.  In my left hand, a Nintendo DS in a Pokemon case, wrapped in a game informer.  Mario Bros. boxers hanging out of my jeans.  A "For The Horde!" T-shirt.  A laptop in my right hand.  A mac sticker on my car.  I think that this may, hypothetically, have been a giveaway. 

WoW?" Followed by the NEVER failing question "What server?".  Five minutes later, I departed for work.

Now, this may not interest any of you, but when your day consists of 3 hours of school and 10 hours of work, it's the damn highlight of a lifetime.  Well, anywho, I need to go run Veeco and get to work on some of my Accounting II studying before I log onto Minecraft to play a bit with old boy Rob.

Adios.
