Never really blogged before but i thought it would be an interesting habit to start and if you guys like it i'll keep it up, if not i'll just keep using this as a place to get my thoughts out :D. So to start with some background information on me. I'm currently a freshman at drexel university studying CS as an engineer with an emphasis on game design. Currently the languages i know are c++, working on objective c, html (not to extensively though), and a small tidbit of java. My grades are fine and i'm currently learning objective c by myself to work on an app that is due at the end of the term (around june 10th i want to say). I'm currently 19 and rather content with my life when it comes to the these details above but man do i want to figure out objective c, the syntax of it is just messing with my mind right now; more importantly though the jump from command prompt line based code to event based is still a pretty rough transition for me but more on this in another blog. Some of the things i like besides SC2 and CS are writing, Dota 2 (not LoL sorry), Mad Men, Modern Family, How I met your mother, game of thrones (yes i have read all the books, and i read before the hbo series), and Bates Motel seems to be pretty good so far.
Here is a kind of dark thing i wrote today while in the library waiting for my friends to meet up with me for dinner:
The Dark Truth
Behind every light is a shadow and in the shadow is the truth. The truth that death is coming and life is fading into the shadows. The shadow that was once a mere flicker becomes perpetual and with it your light dims. The light that we all take as a given is taken forever without grievance from the shadows. The shadows are nothing more than darkness and in darkness nothing can exist forever. Look into the sky and you will see stars at night and clouds and the sun during the day. The sun brings us light yet we know that it to not be perpetual. The stars millions of light years away may no longer exist and all we see is what used to be until the shadows took it.
This contains some generic ideas which i have been reading about in english and was inspired from an Emily Dickinson poem that's name eludes me at the moment. Of course this kind of goes in tandem with the deaths at the boston marathon but i don't want to bring that up anymore than it already has been. I don't have much more to say in this brief introduction in the future i'll probably go more into my personal life and more importantly start to talk about some of my philosophical conundrums that hopefully some of you guys can help me on :D have a good day hope this wasn't to boring!

What's your social life like? Out of any of the sports or physical activities you do, if you had to give up all of the others for one which one would it be?
On a random side note, almost every time you see an exclamation point(!), question mark(?) or period(.) you should be capitalizing the first letter of the first word after that punctuation. Also, certain words should always be capitalized like this, such as the word I(and its derivatives: I'll, I've, etc.). One major exception to this is acronyms. For example, "The U.S.A. is a good place". The "is" does not need a capitalized i because you do not need to follow up an acronym's periods with capitals. There is also a rule that you are supposed to capitalize all of the important(not "the", "to", "a", etc.) of a title. For example, "How i met your mother" becomes "How I Met Your Mother". An interesting referral to our earlier topic - you can acronym this as H.I.M.Y.M. In this case the I in "In" is capitalized because it starts a new sentence, not because it follows a period(as said before, you do not need to capitalize after acronym periods).
And one last thing, I'm not certain on this, but I feel you are "inspired by" something or you "draw inspiration from" rather than being "inspired from".
The poem was interesting, and I liked the ideas, but your grammar could use some work.

I wrote this in textedit so thats why "I" and words after . ? and ! were not capitalized. That also would explain the I've etc. Next time I'll make sure to write it in Microsoft word to make sure this doesn't occur. As for the rest of the grammar i wanted to give it more of a conversational tone without such formalities but from now on I'll make sure to improve that part of the writing so as not to distract you from the content :D
Thanks for the feedback!
