(Will update more, Felt motivated to write my life story... dreams to become a pro gamer)-Much more to write..much much more.
EDIT:- If someone could tell me, am i suppose to just Update this blog post and bump it or? id rather not write stand alone segments. Thx
This all happened in Maine.

I wouldn't know where to begin this story. But ill start it off with my first RTS i was 7 years old. Warcraft2.
When i had first looked at it i thought the game looked terrible. I had never played an RTS or knew what it was. And i surely would never have played it. Several months later my mom met a guy and as Fate led me to an inevitable journey. He was an avid player of warcraft 2. A game i would have scrubbed off if my mom had never met this guy.. a game that would Change and shape my life.

The first time i met him he had shown me his computer to keep me (Busy) to spend time with my mom. I was not too happy about trying warcraft 2, i had wanted to play some Quake or Doom being an avid FPS player but he had none of these games. I remember that day like it was yesterday. I can still smell the winter air, the cold dark night mixed with the christmas lights and the endless amount of snowflakes that perpetually piled on the ground. Thinking back, when ever i see snow in the dark sky with a cool breeze, i feel free.

Being in a poorer part of a small town i was amazed at how beautiful his car was. His house was huge as well. we had only lived in a small trailer me and my mother. this man also had a hot tub which i was equally fascinated by. Being a child that I was. I was easily fascinated by small things like any good kid. Now I am twenty, and I cant find joy from something I would have appreciated for what would seem like a lifetime had i been younger

At first I thought this story was about gaming => want to be pro but this was nice. It was short but it had a good close ^^

If i wanted to write it now i would be here for Days. I revise and edit my own work way to much. Eventually. ill try to write a segment each day. It took me 30 minutes to write that segment. revise.reread.revise.reread.

If i had one *SKILL* besides rts gaming... it would be writing. Im motivated to share my story with everyone. and i think you'll all find it a good read. It's going to take awhile to tell my story. Because it is pretty much my Life story. And if im going to tell it. I'm going to tell it in a good fashion. Its not pretty. Its ugly. Ill try to update it daily, thanks for reading.

This is a story about gaming. About a dream. I just hope i can tell it with all the emotion and power. Theres only so much words can show. But i will do my best.
