Ever wonder why school, college, and working sometimes causes you to stop doing the simple hobbies you once had? It’s like wow I’m 25 and I used to make websites and update blogs all the time about the things I loved! Why is it again that I don’t do this anymore? Life comes in quick and priorities can sometimes be blinding to the things you love and enjoy.

In this blog, I hope to cover a variety of things related to growing up in our generation, californian living, traveling, gadget exploration, and the challenges of life that make this road so epic in scope and journey.

Actually, it would not be fair to start this without doing a shoutout to my friend Allie over at www.vancityallie.com, another community manager in the video game industry, which through her actions, have inspired me to get back to the roots.

If you loved Final Fantasy VII (read on…)

Actually, when I was 12, I was just learning how to build websites on AOLPress (wordpress-1.0 perhaps?), and built out one of my first websites dedicated to Aerith Gainsborough, aka ‘Aeris,’ from Final Fantasy 7…after she tragically died in the storyline on my computer. Very tragic for a 12 year old. Especially since the game designers decided to put you on dates with her in the game…talk about playing with your heart!

Video game love at first sight- don't judge me.
