Hello From the Deep South

I've always been a few years behind the times. I never had a cell phone in college, I still don't own a laptop. While everyone started flipping out over the N-64 and the Wii, I've gotten by with my good ol SNES!! And for years, I have watched friends start blogs and commented on political blogs, but never did I start one of my own. Took me a while to decide what the focus of this blog would be. The easiest would be politics. Those that know me certainly are aware that I am not shy when it comes to my political beliefs. To me, however, that's not enough. I thought back to a post I wrote a while ago, on being a gambler. I will touch more on this in my next post, but the meat of my argument was that I am a gambler when it comes to life, and not so much a gambler when it comes to casinos, sports betting and other areas commonly associated with "gambling." I decided that blogging on life as a Gambler would make for a much more interesting read than simply seeing my rants about Politics.

So who am I? It would be easy to say that I am your typical 29 year old, living his life as best he can. If I did, I would be wrong. Everyone has a story, and everyone's story, I believe, is interesting, b/c each one is unique. There are over 300 million people living in the United States and no two people have exactly the same story. My life has certainly not been outstanding in terms of accomplishment (in the eyes of others I mean). I've done nothing (so far) to merit fame, popularity or loads of money to be thrown my way. Despite that, (since none of those 3 things are important to me) I feel my life and my views on aspects of life are fun to talk about and this blog was created for that purpose as I continue towards my 30th year.
