Just a hello

So I am new to this public blogging forum. I have known about them for a long time, but always questioned them. I have been a huge fan of blogging on MySpace ever since I started college, which is now longer ago then I would like to remember. I liked MySpace because it was private and only my friends could view it (sometime people don’t always like what I have to say), but after a lot of encouragement I figured why not.
Just a heads up, I like to blog about movies that I go to see and if they were worth going to or not, and of course I enjoy blogging about books. I love to read. I am always listening to an iTunes audio book and usually reading one or two books as well. I love my iPod, this way I can listen to a book while driving to work in the morning and heading home at night. All my close friends are readers, and we always recommend book to each other. It keeps things nice and happy, because nothing really suxs more than picking up a book that is really bad! I like to read a lot of different kinds of books, for a while I was on this Vampire kick, which has slowly rolled over into Zombies. I have always been fascinated with these types of stories, Werewolf’s and Vampires ya know! I also enjoy James Patterson and Clive Barker, I try to read anything I can from them. I did randomly pick up Lian Hearn and fell in love, read all of them. It was truly one of the best set of books I have ever read. I have a number of blogs about those books on my MySpace page. But I never turn anything down when it comes to reading. I have noticed that ever since I did get the Kindle, I have been in love and I have reaching out and trying a lot of different writers. I think the reason for this is that it allows you to sample the book before buying and Amazon does that amazing thing and recommends books to you that they think you would like, so every time I finish one book, 10 more are already lined up and recommended. Which is great, it encourages me to read new people. But I have always been willing to try any author at least once, and go to any movie that catches my eye. I also love to travel, and of when I went to Italy and Holland a few years back, I of course had to blog about all of the fun places I went, and people I meet. Since I started working full time and am now going back to school full time to get my masters, I don’t see going anywhere to extravagant anytime in the near future. Sad really, because I have a long list of places I want to see before I get to old to really go and enjoy it as you can being 26 :o). I also like to blog about news & news stories. Not anything political really, I keep those opinions to myself, but crazy news stories, like…the other day a guy held up a pharmacy with a syringe he claimed had the AIDS virus, or like the woman that let this homeless guy live in her back yard because he claimed to be a vampire. You know the type of stories I am talking about, the ones that make you go “WHAT!” I can’t help but blog about those types of things, I just find them amusing. And I also blog about random things…just little rants that I sometimes get on, which we all do. About the traffic or other things like that.
So that is what I am going to blog about, that and anything else that comes to mind. Just a heads up. ;o)
